David Herrick , Town Engineer reported on the following :
1 . Mr . Herrick passed out a letter to the Board Members regarding
the proposed Town of Lansing Water District #17 , Extension #2 ,
(Fiddlers Green) . It was the consensus of the Board to support
Scenario 1 which reads as follows :
a. Neighbors will directly obtain and pay for the services of a
licensed Professional Engineer and Land Surveyor to perform
system design and complete all necessary documents to form
a water district , obtain NYSDOH approval , and obtain NYSDEC
Water Supply Permit (Town, of course, must establish the
district boundary and be responsible for SEQR) .
b. Neighbors ( or neighbors Engineer) will solicit bids for the
construction and administer the construction contract .
They will be entirely responsible for payments to the
J5()
September 01 , 1993 , continued
contractor . By not utilizing public money (either short
term or long term) the neighbors could hire a non-union
contractor and potentially save some labor expense .
c . When the project is complete, the improvements will be owned
and become the responsibility of the Town. This arrangement
is perceived to be comparable to the practice for
subdivisions .
Mr . Thaler will draft a letter supporting Scenario 1 and give
to Mr . Herrick to present to the residents at their next
informational meeting during the week of September 13 , 1993 .
2 . Mr . Herrick presented a draft letter to the Board regarding the
Bean Hill Drainage District . After further discussion the Board
requested that Mr . Herrick contact Mr . Updike to let him know that
the estimated cost of the project will be around $100 , 000 . 00 . Then
have Mr . Updike discuss this with the residents and see if they
would like to proceed further .
3 . The Tompkins County Planning Department provided some
assistance with the HUD Grant application in the Myers area and are
requesting a copy of the Grant application. If there is no
objection from the Board Mr . Herrick will send them a copy . It was
the consensus of the Board to send the TCPD a copy of the grant .

seconded by Mr . Tvaroha :
RESOLVED, that the Special Meeting be adjourned to go into
Executive Session at 9 : 10 P .M.
