Lessig fails to show for special Syracuse board meeting

A special Syracuse Town Board meeting was held Monday evening to meet with Jerry Lessig on the Pickwick Hoad Project. Lessig, however, refused to attend because he felt the comments he had to offer, in good faith, would not be properly accepted. The meeting was held to decide what action the town could take against Lessig to determine why. in the board’s opinion, the eon tract was not fulfilled. Robert Reed, town attorney, stated he would have to do some cheeking

to see what action the board could take before anything definite could be done. Paul Isbell, board president, read a memo from Richard Haskins dated May 22. The letter indicated that the plans showed sewer lines were to be placed on public property. Haskins stated he followed the specifications at Lessig's instructions. The board stated that Lessig had told no town official that private property would be invaded so that the property could be secured before the project was started. If the town had known the sewer line would be on private property, the sewer right of way easement could have been obtained from property owners. Isbell raised the questions for “Who's responsible?" and "what action can be brought against Lessig?" Reed replied by saying the town does need the right of way easement, which no one has to volunteer. The town does have the power of condemnation, and can buy the land with full money

compensation, for the property damages. Another question the board asked Reed was if action could be taken against Lessig, before the board used the power of condemnation? Reed stated the board does have a performance bond, but the only documents evident are the plans and the performance bond. A comment was made to let Haskins arid Lessig fight it out to.see who was at fault. A problem also facing the board is that since the sewer line is on private property, will another line have to be put in across the road when ■'building begins on the north side of the road’’ A general feeling of the board was that a new line would be needed. Punch List Needed Reed stated that Haskins thinks he has done everything expected of him and that his job is completed. Reed suggested that a punch list be made of

things which needs to be com pleted. Isbell stated he would have Harley Conrad make a list. Reed also stated that Robert Houser was pleased with the job. but that his sprinkler system did not work right He did not want Haskins back out to fix it. however, since he had done so himself Reed asked Houser if he would turn in a bill, charging fairly for labor, for fixing the system and he will present it to Haskins for payment Water Problems Isbell stated there was an error of misunderstanding in the water-sewer billing for the month of June. He stated the misinterpretation will be adjusted for the billing month of July. Several townspeople were present at the meeting with questions for the board. A number of questions were raised about the amount of water used according to their bills and asked the board how it could be

possible It was also brought before the board that there are some people in the town who do not have meters because an accessable place cannot be located or that the meters cannot be read because they are not easy to get to. The concerned townsperson slated that Jhese people were being charged a flat rate and he didn't feel it was fair John Cripe, board member, stated the board was against the meters and the hoard did everything it could to stay away from the meters. The government said that if the town wanted permits, meters would need to be put in and regulated Cripe also stated the town has been spoiled by being on a flat rate for a long time. It is hoped that a representative from Neptune Company will come this week to instruct how to read the meters and to fix them. Cripe also stated the town is learning how much water is being

used and he expects the useage to drop by 20 to 30 per cent by people being more conservative Jack Oswald asked several questions. One of his questions pertained to the water line Dye installed in the Hunnicutt Addition. He asked the board of the property torn up was to be replaced. Oswald stated the lawn he had torn up was smoothed out but no grass was reseeded. The board made a note of this and told Owald someone would have Dye contact him. Oswald also asked about the water meters The next board meeting will be July 17, the regular monthly meeting.
