It was all about preparing for the possibilities as Lansing's Sewer Committee met Wednesday to consider their options for forming a sewer district in the Town of Lansing. With the number of attorneys attending doubled, it was clear the committee is almost ready to go from the planning stage to the action phase. Attorneys explained how the district may be formed and how to address legal pitfalls once the sewer route is chosen. Sewer Committee Chairman Bud Shattuck called for a report from Village trustee Frank Moore, who has been attending Town Sewer Committee meetings from the beginning. The village is scheduled to send the Town its choice for a trunk line route through the Village before the end of this month. Mr. Moore reported that although the Village hasn't come to an official determination yet, that their strong preference is the Route along East Shore Drive (Route 34). They are aware, however, that State Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations make that route too expensive.

The Lansing Fire District continues to explore plans for replacing Fire Station 5 on Oakcrest Road. The building is too small for modern equipment and does not meet mandates for a fire house. The site is not sufficient for a new fire house that would need a traffic pattern and storage space large enough to move bigger modern fire trucks in and out, plus State required Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) facilities.

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.
