MINUTES of a regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Lansing held on Wednesday, March 10, 1999, in the Village Office.

Present: Mayor, Don Hartill, Trustees Larry Fresinski, Cliff Buck, Lynn Leopold, John Caren, Ben Curtis, Jodi Dake, Dennis Reinhart and Richard Beckwith.

Mayor Donald Hartill called the meeting to order at 12:10pm. The Mayor reminded the Trustee’s that tonight at 5:30 is our short meeting with the Town of Lansing to discuss whether we would like to be customers or partners in the proposed joint sewer system. The Mayor stated that the Village of Cayuga Heights has a significant upgrade needed. By combining plants, we could save on labor costs and have a cheaper processing system with the phosphorous benefit. He added that the subject of inside verses outside rates may arise. Pete Larsen from the Town of Lansing will also be presenting a proposal to fix the Village’s water mains. Don likes the idea of intermunicipal cooperation and thinks this will save us money. Presently, when there is a problem we call Bolton Point and they get Cortland Paving to do the work. Rick stated that Cayuga Heights has the equipment and they could also help. Dennis was in favor of having the Town of Lansing do our repairs.

Ben asked if the Mayor thought we would be getting any more sewer permits for this building season. Don will call the Mayor of the Village of Cayuga Heights. Don stated that he also gets calls from Ivar Jonson once a week regarding this issue, hopefully this will be resolved very soon.

Lynn Leopold will touch base with Chuck Leo in May to do the flower boxes.

Larry Fresinski asked what the next step was for North Triphammer. The Mayor stated that Randy has drafted a letter, which he will review and then have Jodi send it out. The Town of Lansing’s meeting to discuss the work they will be doing on Triphammer Road was canceled last week due to weather. They are getting 80% funding. Dennis will call the Town to find out where they will be stopping.

Ben Curtis is still transferring information over to his new computer. John Murry’s house has been started. Carquest has moved from Lansing Village Place up to the corner of Triphammer & Peruville Road in the Town of Lansing. A doctor will be going in on Triphammer Road next to McDonalds. Monroe Muffler has come in to inquire about the property next to Econolodge in the Cayuga Mall corner. Foodnet is now open. Ben wanted to commend Rick for the good job he did of cleaning the carpet in the conference room. With all of the run off, we are getting water back up in the conference room. As soon as the weather permits we will check the perimeter drains to the manhole. Lastly, Ben stated that the Green Space Advisory Council is ready, enthusiastic and wants to work with the kids.

Dennis Reinhart no longer has a beeper. He had problems which MobileComm could not resolve so he has gotten a Cell Phone that is only $8.95/month plus air time. Dennis feels this will be cheaper and more convenient. Dennis has spoken with John Lateer at the State regarding adding 4 seconds to the pedestrian signal. This time can be added without changing the other signals by a process called bulging. The State has installed count down timers at the crosswalks at Wegman’s and Top’s which has eliminated the calls they used to receive regarding the amount of time to cross. The Mayor told Dennis to install these counters and increase the time by two seconds. Dennis would like to call in an electrician to check the wiring in the elevated water tank because of two fried circuit breakers. One was responsible for the light on the top of the tank to go out and the other for the frozen valve. Don doesn’t want Dennis to call an electrician, he will mention this and the tank overflow at the Commission Meeting.

Next Cliff stated that Dr. Jim Zimmer is very interested in going into the McDonalds building if McDonalds moves across the street. This would be a reason to support the relocating of McDonalds to across the street. Cliff asked Larry of the possibility of networking our computers and bringing in Roadrunner. It was decided that it wasn’t cost efficient at this time and that we would wait for the Cable Commission Agreement.
