The Mayor stated that Tompkins County Airport wants to put in a carwash for Hertz & Avis but it is outside of the permitted use in that district. Since it is a separate building it’s not under the blanket agreement with the Village of Cayuga Heights therefore, they must apply to the Village of Lansing for a sewer permit. Don explained that the reason for the early lunch was because he has a 12:00 meeting with the present owners of the Ithaca Wastewater Treatment Plant to start the process of a Memorandum of Understanding. Lastly, the Mayor stated that one of his colleagues uses the pathway from Highgate Circle to Lansing West Apartments and that it was in need of some maintenance. Rick said he would check into it.

Rick and Jay will be cold patching on North Triphammer by HSBC tomorrow morning.

The Mayor asked Ben about the land set aside for multi-use at the Ramada. Ben stated that originally the parking was correct. When the Ramada added conference space they took away a row of parking. The Village said this was ok as long as they retained land for additional parking if needed. In the future they may need space for parking. Ben stated that the Planning Board also accepted verbal agreement from the Pyramid Mall to allow overflow into their parking lot. Don will be writing a letter to Mr. Homik in the next couple of days and would like Ben to e-mail him details.

Ben is going to the International Code Council in St. Louis September 13-15^th and requested that the Village pay for half of the cost to go. BOCA will pay for the other half.

At this time Mayor Hartill had to leave for his meeting. Larry continued to go around the table and hear from each of the employees.

Ben continued by stating that the Planning Board is having a traffic study done for Top’s and Pyramid Mall. Top’s has agreed to pay for this study being done by Creighton- Manning. Dennis stated that he reviewed the traffic study done by Napoleon and that the base numbers were too high. Napoleon used a formula not the actual counts. Napoleon suggested a green turning arrow on the southbound lane on the overpass. Mayor Hartill also suggested a double left turn to cut down on the stacking on the eastbound ramp to the DOT. They are also looking at the possibility of a light at the corner of North Triphammer and Graham Road. There are still a number of questions that need to be answered. Larry asked Ben about Cable. Ben stated that the RFP was approved and they are going ahead with formal agreements. The deadline is 10/18/99.

Dennis stated that the Airport Ground Tank painting will begin tomorrow. The tank is drained and as a result of this we had three water main breaks on North Triphammer by the Lansing Diner. These breaks were due to a pressure jump and the fact that this is an old original cast iron line which was put in to Sevanna Park. Cayuga Heights helped us repair the line and in return Rick and Jay worked for the Village of Cayuga Heights on Tuesday. The Town of Lansing was not available on Monday because they were paving. Two Village residence will be getting water now because of a new multi jacketed pipe which is now available. It is heated so that the pipe does not need to go below the frostline. This solves the problem where the ground is solid rock. Burdick Hill Road is ready for paved shoulders. Dennis will get two mini bids. The County will do the work then two weeks later we will finish it off with chip seal.

Dennis told Larry that we have signed off on the three Time Warner Agreements. Larry stated that Randy still has not done a letter to Time Warner regarding getting our money back. Time Warner says they have never received an official request to get money back from the Village.

Carol stated that the Comprehensive Plan would go to the printer on Friday.

Ben asked if the Trustees have decided to dedicate the Employee Manuel to John Caren. Larry stated that the Board has not had a chance to discuss this yet. The Mayor has not selected new Trustees to replace Cliff and John.

There were no further comments.
