In Monday's Trustees meeting the Village of Lansing's engineer confirmed the Town's cost estimates for the three proposed routes for a sewer trunk line from the Cayuga Heights treatment plant through the Village to the town. Asked by Mayor Donald Hartill to check the numbers estimated by Jim Blum, an engineer developing the sewer project for the town, Village engineer Dave Putnam said that his analysis confirmed that the Town's cost estimates are about right, or possibly even a bit low. The Mayor had hoped the Town's numbers would prove to be high, taking the sting out of the price tag for constructing the trunk line along East Shore Drive (Route 34). Because it is a State road East Shore is the only one of three proposed choices that is subject to State Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations. The DOT requires limited work hours each day, and that equipment be moved at the end of each day so the road can be reopened the rest of the time. This would add almost a million dollars to the price tag in labor costs, extra days and traffic control.

Lansing's Board of Education hunkered down for another Capital expansion workshop Monday night. The board is pouring through the details of a multi-million dollar plan to expand classrooms, and to improve facilities and security on the Ridge Road campus. This was the fourth of a series of sessions with project planners and architects to carve the project down to a size that voters might be likely to approve in a March referendum. Architects and engineers from King & King were present as well as project planners from C&S Design Build, Inc., the construction manager firm. Also present was Mark Lewis, who will be Lansing's School Superintendent starting in early January.

The other day Star reader Robin Sharpless sent this note and a scan of a gas receipt: "We hear of the cries that the big oil companies have forced prices so high and the common man is suffering. The attached receipt is from a purchase made last week in New Jersey, a State which touches New York. Our prices are still in the mid $2.30's to the 2.40's. I believe the questions should be asked much closer to home as to why we pay so much more then our neighbors in New Jersey. Please note the date and the location. This is news. News which should beg the question WHY!!!" Why indeed! This represents a big difference of at least 50 cents per gallon. The Department of Energy says there are several factors that affect price. The proximity of the supply, disruptions in the supply, local competition, environmental programs and local station operating costs gas station owners incur all affect what you will pay at the pump.
