Louise Bement 49 Myers Road Lansing, NY 14882 2014 Town Historian’s Report Those of you who know me well, know that this was a difficult year for me, as my husband was extremely ill and died in August. So I find my records and notes are not as detailed as they usually are. As always I received many phone calls and emails which I tried to answer to the best of my ability. Which is pretty good because we have such good archives left to us by former historians. I spend at least two hours a week working at the archives building on Saturday mornings during the fall and winter. I am also there by chance or appointment. Several members of the Lansing Historical Association’s board members join me there and we work with enthusiasm. Gerry Monaghan has become one of our workers there recently. He is a Village of Lansing board member and he is working on village and town histories. Speaking of meetings, I attend the Municipal Historian meetings, chaired by Carol Kammen. We meet almost every month at The History Center in Tompkins County. I also am the president of the Lansing Historical Association and that board meets every other month. The Lansing Historical Association also holds a spring and a fall public program. These are very well attended because we have interesting historical programs presented by local people. I edit the Lansing Historical eight page newsletter which is mailed to members four times a year. Complimentary newsletters also go to the three school libraries, the town hall, and the community library. The historical association has historical books for sale and we mail out book orders to people who request them. One interesting order came from the RESPEC Company in South January 21, 2015 11 Dakota. We don’t know why they were interested in receiving, these three books: “Cayuga Lake, “The Rock Salt”, and “Portland Point” but we were happy to send them along. I was asked to write the introduction to the comprehensive plan for the Town of Lansing. I enjoy writing these kinds of things. I helped Gibran Baida find historical information for the St. George Syrian Orthodox Church. Trace Davis, who owns Voodoo Amps asked for information and pictures of the railroad at North Lansing. Emily Franko and Jase Base and I looked through the extensive Townley file and also pictures of the Townley House on the corner of Van Ostrand and Peruville Roads which they own. The Pathways Committee and I worked on information about the pathways system, such as the abandoned railroad beds and the no longer existent International Salt Company. The East Shore Arts Festival the first weekend in May finds me at the one-room schoolhouse, and the archives building turned into a museum. This year Fannie Welch and Kathy LaLonde put together a wonderful exhibit about the men from Lansing who served in all the wars from 1776 to 1945. In April old court records were moved from the Town Hall to the Archives Building and I and others have been looking them over for interesting historical facts. In June a man from Tucson, Arizona came to learn about the Shortline Railroad. He was thrilled to see a picture of the very locomotive that had brought his ancestor to this area. I copied and mailed to him the information that he wanted, although there was some that was copyrighted that I could not send. In June I presented a program on town history for the Municipal Clerk’s workshop held at Cornell. In September I researched the history of “The Girl’s School” in South Lansing as the state is interested in selling that property. I joined others in a walk-through of the property. In October I had a good time presenting a program to the Lansing Rotary Club. I also researched and sent the history of the Newman family to a woman in Hawaii. It was odd to think of a woman in Hawaii with a Hawaiian name having ancestors from North Lansing. I am finishing out the year with the usual research and writing that occupies my time almost every day. When I am not “doing history” I am thinking about it.

REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING TOMPKINS COUNTY REPRESENTATIVE – MIKE SIGLER Hello and thanks for having me again. Before I get to county business, I just wanted to give you an update on something I worked on for the power plant. I bought $1,000 of radio and cut two ads supporting the power plant and asking people to do the same. They are airing right now on Cayuga Group Radio Group and they’ll air for 2 weeks. By now you’ve probably heard about the incident in Danby where a father took his own life after a standoff with police. Before the Legislature’s Public Safety Committee, Tompkins County Sheriff Ken Lansing and other officers who responded to the four-day incident on Hornbrook Road provided a detailed recap of the events. About 50 people attended the meeting and, prior to the presentation, a dozen of them spoke, many expressing concern and several asking for investigation—one of them Danby Supervisor Ric Dietrich, who requested an independent review of the incident’s after-action report. Among those speaking was Cady’s widow, Melissa Cady, saying she doesn’t hate police, but questions leadership, that her husband was suicidal and needed help. Sheriff Lansing said that the operation was handled by a group of individuals experienced with this type of operation—including those who assisted from other agencies. As part of January 21, 2015 16 the presentation, critical incident negotiators reported that there was considerable negotiation with Cady, and ongoing attempts to communicate, but that he did not respond and leave the residence. Officers said armored vehicles were deployed, both to protect responders from gunfire and from the cold; and that tear gas, robots, and an armored Bobcat to breach the building were all used as tactical approaches, but none succeeded in getting Cady to come out. The aim throughout, Sheriff Lansing stressed, was to get the suspect out of the house safely, and to not use any deadly physical force against him, even though that would have been justified by law. At the January 6th meeting: The Tompkins County Legislature, at its 2015 organizational meeting, reelected Chair Michael Lane (D) and Vice Chair Jim Dennis (D) to continue to lead the Legislature in 2015. The positions of Chair and Vice Chair are filled each year by a majority vote of members of the Legislature. The Legislature, by unanimous vote allocated $20,000 to support payment of the living wage to contract employees at the County Recycling and Solid Waste Center. It was the issue wages for contract employees at the Recycling and Solid Waste Center that prompted the County in 2013 to perform an in-depth review of its decade-old Living Wage policy and its level of attainment, as applied to County contracts. The Legislature, without dissent, voted to allocate $20,000 from the Capital Reserve Fund for Natural, Scenic, and Recreational Resources Protection to support additions to two existing nature preserves in Tompkins County. The action provides funding toward acquisition by the Finger Lakes Land Trust of 30 acres to be added to the Lindsay-Parsons Biodiversity Preserve in the Town of Danby and toward a 24-acre addition to the Roy H. Park Preserve in the Town of Dryden. Also, the Legislature authorized acceptance of a $91,000 grant from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority to create a strategic plan for charging stations in the county to support widespread adoption of electric vehicles. At the meeting last night, the legislature accepted money from the Department of Homeland Security to upgrade county systems and a Law Enforcement/Emergency Management Training Simulator. Lastly, we voted to extend the additional one percent sales tax rate in the county. With such a high percentage of transient people and students, the sales tax is a way to capture some of the money from this population and help keep property taxes lower. Again, I want to thank Marcia Lynch for her work on reporting on our meetings. Her exactness and attention to detail is essential to these reports. Lastly, I’ll be serving on Budget, Economic Development and Facilities and Infrastructure. Thank you. Mike Sigler Discussion: Regarding the Danby incident, Supervisor Kathy Miller asked who would pay for the house damage. She stated the family was renting and they don’t have funds to repair the house and the house owners insurance will not pay for the repairs. Tompkins County Representative Mike Sigler doesn’t know who will pay for the house damage. He did report that the Danby Church is doing fundraisers, so if anyone wants to contribute they should contact the Danby Church. Tompkins County Representative Mike Sigler also reported on bringing the Pipe Line to Lansing. There were about sixty people at a meeting in Dryden: Eleven undecided, twenty opposed, twenty-nine yes. Most of the objection was in the Dryden-Farrell Road area. The January 21, 2015 17 twenty people opposed will not give an easement and there is no way to persuade them. They don’t believe people should use Natural Gas. Maybe hook into Ithaca’s Natural Gas? We will need to wait and see what NYSEG decides to do. Could do air source and ground source heating, but some businesses will not use these types of heating sources. Councilperson Edward LaVigne asked if there should be a concern if there is enough Natural Gas, and will a transmission or distribution line be used. NYSEG is a distributor, so they will want to solve the issue with a distribution line. Eminent Domain is a two to three year process. Legal Counsel Guy Krogh, said he didn’t know if they had their Certificate of Public Necessity yet. Supervisor Kathy Miller reported that 2015 is the last year on the pilot. WATER AND SEWER ADVISORY BOARD – DAN ADINOLFI The Water and Sewer Advisory Board (AB) met on 15 January 2015. We had a number of guests at this meeting and a great deal of conversation. A resident from Lansing Station Rd. came to ask a number of questions regarding the water system expansion that has been under development through a new proposed outside user agreement. We discussed the process being followed and how we got to where we are in the process. The issues surrounding extending the water district further down Lansing Station were discussed, both regarding capacity planning as well as the hope that the Town Board (TB) could assist with negotiating with the railroad operators to facilitate water lines crossing the railway line. The AB is working with the original petitioner to see what could be done to make the current expansion plans work with future expansion plans. An engineer working with a local developer came to the AB to ask about the current rules surrounding how many water meters there should be per tax parcel. After some discussion, the AB worked out a set of criteria that could be used to determine whether the "one meter per parcel" rule should have an exception for a particular development. The criteria include items such as: - Are the roads above the water mains owned by the Town or privately owned? - Are the mains themselves owned by the Town or privately owned? - Is the new development infill on an existing development or completely new development? These criteria were used in our recommendation to the TB last month regarding a request for an exception, were used to evaluate this month's request, and they will be used in the future. We hope this will lead to a consistent set of decisions surrounding the exception process. The AB also discussed water district expansions for Buck Rd., Wilson Rd., and Conlon Rd. There had been a petition for expanding the district on these roads, but the original financial burden to the residents stopped that process. A new plan is being presented by one of the residents, and that plan is significantly different enough from the old plan that the AB believes a new petition should be drawn up and circulated. The AB will assist the residents with the creation of a petition, which will include language that explains the potential costs and burdens to the residents as well as the benefits. Before adjourning, other ongoing projects were discussed with no major updates being reported. The next meeting of the Water and Sewer Advisory Board will be on 10 February 2015 at 6:30PM at the Town Hall. Discussion: In the future, Dan Adinolfi will include Lynn Day, Rachel Jacobson and Michael Long in his correspondence, reports and meeting notices. Dan stated they were not excluded on purpose. PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR Emily Franco of the Lansing Community Library reviewed the following Updates to the Lansing Town Board and the public. January 21, 2015 18 1. LCL has a new jigsaw puzzle collection with over 40 puzzles that patrons can check out like books or other media. 2. As part of the LCL Summer reading program, we are currently applying for grants and starting to plan for our annual logo contest. Last year we had over 40 submittals from children and adults. The theme this year is “Every Hero Has a Story”. 3. Through February, LCL is displaying “Explorations of Our Imaginations” in the downstairs community room. This is a partnership with the R.C. Buckley Elementary School Art Program where 4th grade students explored non- representational artwork by modifying their creations digitally to meet certain artistic principles. 4. The Library is currently collecting Legos’ for an upcoming Saturday Lego Lab Program. The kick off date has not yet been set. 5. The Friends of the Lansing Library are hosting three upcoming programs. On Thursday, January 22, Julie Gorman will lead an Introduction to Practical Investing. On February 7 there will be a screening of The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill, a film by Julie Irving, and in the early spring, the Friends are working with community groups to host Dr. Bill Thomas who speaks worldwide on Aging With Dignity. 6. This past fall, LCL had a handrail installed on the main stairs for additional safety. Our Buildings and Grounds committee is also evaluating proposals to have the windows replaced in the former front entry that faces the road as the current windows leak significantly. This work will be done through grant funding. 7. Finally, at the end of November, LCL received its permanent charter and will celebrate this at the annual meeting April 27, 2015 with our annual trustee election and vote on April 28, 2015. A resident asked for clarification on the map for NovaLane. Supervisor Kathy Miller stated that NovaLane is between Lake Watch and East Lake Rd., when you go down Smugglers Path it is on the right. There are seven lots. PARK AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT REPORT Steve Colt is with the Ski Program tonight and provided the following report to the public and Town Board. Parks & Recreation Department Town Board Meeting 1/21/15 RECREATION  The Skating Program started two weeks ago with nearly 90 students participating. The ice time is enhanced with a laser lighting system that all of the skaters seem to like. Most are picked up at The Rink by parents at the end of each session.  The Ski Program started on Wednesday. This is our second year of Wednesday night skiing after many years of participating on Monday’s. Last year, Greek Peak decided not to offer school programs on Mondays. Wednesdays are nice to break up the week, however, it is much more crowded with many other schools also scheduled for Wednesdays. The first night is always logistically challenging.  The 2nd & 3rd Grade Basketball Program has started in the Elementary School Gym. The girls and boys have separate programs. The gym is small and with a large turn-out for the boys program on Tuesday and Thursdays we had to add a second hour and split the program by grade to keep it safe and productive. It’s a really good group. January 21, 2015 19  We are currently taking registrations for Saturday Morning Swimming Lessons, Archery Camp, President’s Break Basketball Camp, Friday Night Soccer, Karate and our annual Hot Stove Baseball and Softball camps. PARKS  Pavilion rentals started on Monday January 5. We took several early phone calls and have rented 25-30 nights of camping  Camping reservations started on Monday January 12th. People started getting in line on Sunday morning at 9:00 AM! We started processing reservations on Monday morning at 7:30 AM and in 90 minutes we had taken in $22,000.00 in Camping fees.  The marina lottery was last year so there are two more years before the next one. Renewal forms in the mail. Dry Dock and Kayak Rack spots will start in late February or early March.  This year, the Myers Park entrance fee goes to $4 from the $3 price that it has been for years. We are discussing a non-resident season pass for admission to the park for this summer. RESCHEDULE REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING FOR FEBRUARY Discussion: No one was appointed as voting and alternate delegates and therefore will not be attending the New York State Association of Towns Conference and Training Session in New York City scheduled for February 15th – 18th, 2015. Therefore, the Town Board Regular Meeting will not be re-scheduled. RESOLUTION ISSUING PRELIMINARY APPROVAL OF PROPOSED LOCATIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR ROADWAYS AND INFRASTRUCTURE POTENTIALLY TO BE DEDICATED TO THE TOWN OF LANSING IN AND FOR THE NOVALANE SUBDIVISION Discussion: Michael Long reported on the NovaLane meeting that was held today. This resolution is the outline of the original path. This is a pre-requisite to having the preliminary Plat meeting, which is scheduled for next week. There are two ways that the road can connect to the neighbors: 1. Continue South towards East Lake 2. Continue East to Rt 34. There will be one way in and one way out. It will take several weeks to figure this out. Councilperson Ruth Hopkins stated that the people living there want walking paths. Supervisor Kathy Miller responded that there is a liabilit y and safety issue for the town and public safety is a concern. Mr. Young will build the roads to town specifications and then turn the roads over to the town. There is a “Hammerhead” (turn around) for snow etc. This could possibly go away when the roads are connected. RESOLUTION 15-37 RESOLUTION ISSUING PRELIMINARY APPROVAL OF PROPOSED LOCATIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR ROADWAYS AND INFRASTRUCTURE POTENTIALLY TO BE DEDICATED TO THE TOWN OF LANSING IN AND FOR THE NOVALANE SUBDIVISION The following Resolution was duly presented for consideration by the Town Board: January 21, 2015 20 WHEREAS, the Novalane Subdivision is scheduled for a review of the proposed preliminary plat by the Planning Board, and per the Town’s Subdivision Law any approval of a preliminary plat requires that the Town Board generally review and advise the Planning Board if the proposed roadway layout, specifications, and other infrastructure(s) proposed to be dedicated or offered to the Town are acceptable, including items such as water mains, stormwater facilities, and the like; and WHEREAS, the Town Board concurs in the designation of the Planning Board as Lead Agency for the SEQRA review of the project, and thus only issues a general and preliminary approval as this approval applies to the preliminary plat and remains subject to final plat review by the Planning Board, an environmental review, and a final stormwater review, among other contingencies; and WHEREAS, the Town Highway Superintendent has reviewed the proposed roadway layout and specifications and found the same adequate and similarly, as to water and stormwater and other proposed permanent infrastructure that may or will be dedicated or offered for dedication, the Town’s Planner, Engineer, and Attorney have each had input and have generally approved the layout and location of such infrastructure; and WHEREAS, and after due deliberation upon this matter and in respect of the upcoming public hearing upon and the review of the preliminary plat for the Novalane Subdivision, the Town Board of the Town of Lansing has hereby RESOLVED, and, inter alia, subject to input upon the preliminary plat and the final plat review by the Planning Board, any final stormwater review (including SWPPP approvals and any conditions listed upon any SPDES general permit), and any findings made under, or mitigation requirements imposed in relation to, any environmental review, the Town Board of the Town of Lansing, in satisfaction of the requirements of §505(E)(1) of Local Law #1 of 2008 and Town Law Article 16, hereby approves the proposed location and specifications for the proposed roadways and infrastructure as shown upon the Novalane Preliminary Plat (and in such application’s supporting materials).
