MINUTES of a regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Lansing held on Wednesday, December 15, 1999, in the Village Office.

Present: Trustees John Bailey, Larry Fresinski, Lynn Leopold; Jodi Dake, Benjamin Curtis, Rick Beckwith and Dennis Reinhart.

Larry Fresinski called the meeting to order at 12:21pm and went around the table to hear how everyone was doing. Lynn Leopold asked if we could do the vouchers first since she needed to leave early. Larry stated that once everyone had a chance to look them over we could approve them.

Dennis had asked Jodi to pull the payment request for Patch & Seal. Dennis stated that they are a fly by night company who has over billed the Village on both the quantities and price charged and they did poor quality work. FCC license to use radio frequency is up for renewal. The $85 charge for six years is for our walkie-talkies. Larry suggested Dennis look into getting a pair of walkie-talkies from RadioShack. The technology has improved and we wouldn’t need a license for these. Dennis will investigate this possibility before he submits the FCC license bill, which would be due in March. Dennis stated that 6 replacement signs are needed at spots were you enter the Village. He will get quotes on signs with our new logo. Larry thought we should have Don’s input. Larry thinks we should get our new logo out as much as possible, stationary, business cards, and signs. Larry told Dennis not to alter the colors because green and gold were the colors the board had approved. The Town of Lansing has done some ditch cleaning on Bush Lane, free of charge. Dennis walked the proposed trail on Viola Miller’s property. He is in the process of registering a temporary easement with the County Clerk. The trail will be done next year. The underground conduits for the phone lines to the pump house are in. The elevated tank can now come down.

Janivar Drive Extension now has 15 bails of hay to block it off and Ascot Place has a concrete block. Ben stated that now there is a problem with trucks going off Leifs Way to get to Bomax. Lansing Trails needs two catch basins put in to control the erosion problem. Dennis is working with Dave Putnam on this. Another problem is that Walter Wietgrefe’s tool shed is on Lansing Property. This shed was put there by IJ Construction before Walter bought the house.

Opening bids for dump trucks have come out. Ford & Dodge are the only ones on state contract. Dennis prefers Chevy so he’s working on that. Dennis asked John Bailey if there was any way we could get money from insurance for an uninsured motorist whose car caught fire and burned our road. John stated that small claims court would be the only way to get money from the uninsured motorist. Dennis would like approval to get a new computer since he can no longer download state contracts because they are using a different program now which his computer can’t read. Larry told Dennis to put together a proposal for the Board.

Ben Curtis stated that McDonald’s moving is contingent on Dennis making arrangements for a right hand bypass lane. Dennis needs to inspect the culvert to see if it is possible. The certificate of occupancy will have a condition that we can close the pick up window until the problem is fixed. The Lighting Commission which consists of Steve Halevy, Lynn Leopold and Dennis Reinhart will meet next Monday to review Tops lighting situation. The Planning consultants meeting went well. There was a lot of good feedback. The focus group would like to communicate electronically with the consultant. Ben asked Larry if he could set this up through our website. Ben and Larry will work on this. Ben stated that Pyramid Mall, after seeing the traffic consultant’s report, is looking into scaling down their project. Pyramid must provide traffic analysis. Parkview 4 is starting.

Lynn is going to the Cayuga Watershed meeting this evening.

Rick would like to see the Village get a computerized sign at the road to use as a bulletin board and show our meetings. This new sign could have our new logo on it. Ben added that it might be nice to have new posting board cases at the Laundromat, A&P and eventually at Tops. Ben suggested something that would lock so others couldn’t get to it. Lynn commented that it would look more official. John agreed as long as it is maintained. Larry asked Ben to get the costs.

Next Larry proposed a motion to approve the vouchers.

Trustee Lynn Leopold moved that this resolution be adopted and Trustee Larry Fresinski

seconded the motion. A vote was taken:

Mayor Donald Hartill- Absent Trustee Lynn Leopold- Aye

Trustee Larry Fresinski-Aye Trustee John Bailey-Aye

Mayor Donald Hartill- Absent Trustee Lynn Leopold- Aye
