something isn ' t done before Spring . He could stone and oil it at
approximately a cost of $ 4 , 000 . 00 or he could fog seal it for (111
$ 2 , 000 . 00 . The County would be willing to provide a paver if the

Mr . Thaler ; informed the Cargill representative of the
following :
The project would have . to be funded by a Private ' Activity
Bond , therefore Cargill could not use more than 75 % of the capacity
of the facility .
At this time Mr . Herrick arrived and stated that the water
line could run down Myers road and along the lake to Cargill . The
pipe that is now in Myers would have to go to an 8 " pipe instead of
the 4 " pipe that is in place now .
If theother adjoining properties would participate • in the
payment . of the bond , then a Municipal : Bond could be a possibility .
Cargill asked if the Town would give an exception to the
policy that says " On all extensions to water districts the water
line will go to the boundary " . The Town Board would like to think
about this before giving an answer .
Mr . Thaler stated that there are other bonding possibilities
if the Board wants to do them . This would be a NON tax exempt bond .
Mr . Thaler felt it would be less expensive if Cargill would do it .
It was decided that Mr . Herrick - and Mr . Thaler could review
the plan with Mr . Thorton and have Cargill type up a draft and
present it to the Board .
Mr . Herrick stated that he had just attended a meeting in
regard to agriculture and farm lands . Mr . Herrick felt the next
step for New York State Electric and Gas would be to do the notice
of intent and then to complete the long environmental assessment
form . This would be a charge to Water District No . 17 .
Mr . Thaler will write to a N . Y . S . E . and Gas representative
tomorrow in regard to this .
Mr . Herrick passed out the finalized Engineer ' s report for
Water District No . 2 - Extension # 2 ( Ladoga Park area ). He stated
that the number of units have gone down as some vacant lots have
been consolidated with building lots . There are now 54 units and
there were 60 to begin with . The unit cost would be the same
( $ 216 . 00 per unit if the interest rate was 6 . 5 % ) Mr . Herrick stated
that the work would have to be done within the access that is
available and that all easements would have to be secured . There
may be some .inconvenience for the people who live there year round .

WHEREAS , the operation will be as follows :
METHOD OF OPERATION - The . proposed water main extension will
connect at a new main connection point as shown on said Map at the
intersection of Old Myers Road and Myers Road with Water District
2 distribution system . Pressure will be provided by the water tank
n umber 3 . which has a capacity of 200 , 000 thousand gallons located
off of Wilson Road which has an approximate overflow elevation of
696 feet . Water is pumped to this tank by the Town pumping station
located at Burdick Hill and North Triphammer Roads . The source of
supply is the SCLIWC water tank which is located near the pumping
station .
Due to changing topography and a wide variation in ground
surface elevations , water main pressures in the existing Lansing
Water system at lower elevations are controlled by main line
pressure reducing stations . Due to extreme drop in grade along
Myers Road there currently exists a pressure reducing valve at the
intersection . of Wildman and Ludlowville Roads . With the regulated
o utlet pressure from this PRV at 50 p . s . i . the static main line
pressure in Ladoga Point will be roughly 105 p . s . i . All homes will
be required to install individual PRVS so that each house service
can be maintained in the 30 - 60 p . s . i . range as opposed to the 105
p . s . i . at the PRV location ; and
WHEREAS , the method of financing will be as follows :
METHOD OF FINANCING
PROJECT COST The $ 114 , 000 . 00 project cost of the water
district improvement is planned to be financed by the issuance of
serial bonds to mature in annual installments , and that said annual
installments , which include repayment of principal and interests ,
shall be assessed by a proposed formula as follows :
1 . Existing Subdivision Lots 2 acres or less : Assessed one
( 1 ) unit per dwelling lot .
2 . Existing subdivision Lots greater than 2 acres : Assessed
o ne ( 1 ) unit for initial 2 acre dwelling lot . All remaining acreage
w ill be assessed one - sixth ( 1 / 6 ) unit per acre .
3 . Undeveloped Acreage : For the purposes of assessment , non -
subdivided lots will be divided into approximately two acre lots
w ith a minimum of 150 foot frontage and assessed one ( 1 ) unit for
e ach lot . Remaining unimproved rear land will be assessed one -
sixth ( 1 / 6 ) unit per acre .
Assuming the total project cost of $ 114 , 000 is financed with
111
20 year serial bonds at 6 . 5 % interest and a minimum principal
✓ epayment at 80 % of average , the first year payment is calculated
as follows :
Principal = $ 114 , 000
Interest = 6 . 5 %
Term = 20 years
1'st Year Principal Payment = 114 , 000 / 20 x 80 % = 4 , 560
1st Year Interest Payment = $ 114 , 000 x 0 . 065 = 7 , 410
Total 1st Year Payment = $ 11 , 970

ONE - TIME BUY - IN :FEE . TO PARENT DISTRICT. - When an extension is
made ' to ' a n indebted .Water District the extension is subject to
share in the original infrastructure costs by means of a one - time
