(Continued from page 1) * years by the town easement to the lake. Nealis related that he was given permission to place his pier in that location when he moved to Syracuse. Myrick states that that fact will be found in no minutes of past town board actions. Nealis now wonders why his approval was not recorded. Or if it was, what happened to it. Nealis appears saddened, because he wants to be a good citizen and support Syracuse but he also feels strongly that Children, who have always fished from his pier will have no place to fish since they are not allowed to fish from the town pier. The catalyst which caused the whole problem seems to be the placement of a pier in an odd position by an adjoining property owner so it extends past the Nealis pier. Property Sale Steve Snyder, a local attorney representing Jim Tranter, asked the board for a letter indicating that the town has no objection to the sale of a triangular piece of ground which borders SR 13. Reed asked if a copy of the board meeting minutes which includes the board approving the statement would suffice and Snyder agreed that would do. Other Business The board approved minutes from previous meetings and approved claims. In response to a request by Jim Evans, representing Augsburger’s Super Value, to have an alley running north from the rear of the store vacated, the board voted to instead give Augsburger’s permission to resurface part of the alleyway and use it.

No additional maintenance costs are to accrue to the town. On another subject, Evans asked the board to consider town ordinance information to be placed on minor parking offender vehicles from other locations prior to issuing citations. The board will discuss this request further before answering. The board approved a request by Joe Dock, utilities superintendent, to advertise for contracting to get street repairs started soon. Relative to the town’s sump pump ordinance, mentioned by Dock, Myrick stated that this ordinance was required by the state before Syracuse could be considered for an improvement grant. It was not the idea of the town board. Dock informed the board that a decision will need to be made to provide a storm sewer to handle the new town hall. Os several preliminary estimates the board favored one for $38,800. As Myrick puts it, “I would hate to see the storm drains put in to serve only the town hall. It should also serve residents.” The town hall contractors expect to have the building under roof in two months so the storm drain decision is needed reasonably soon. A final decision was not made at this time. The park board is being asked if it wants the large spruce tree which must be moved from the town hall site. Hughes will investigate and report back. Approval was given for the American Legion to conduct a parade on May 27. Bob Westfall answered a question from the board by saying the new street lights which are planned do provide more light than the old ones.

The contest winner will received a SSOO bond and the honorable mention winner will receive a SIOO bond. Winners will be notified so they may be present to receive their award. In other matters concerning the celebration, the committee

The subject of joining Kosciusko Development Inc. was tabled until next meeting and no response has been received from the state on the request for altered signs at the corner of SRI3 and Pickwick Road. A motion by board member Morganthaler to adopt an ordinance restricting sale of breakable containers at outside vending machines died for lack of a second. Attorney Reed has written the county surveyor for help in resolving a drainage problem on Palm Drive. No answer has been received as yet. The board approved a new ordinance read by Reed to restrict parking on Front Street. Morganthaler brought up the subject of naming the town hall. He suggests “Wawasee Government Center.” This subject will continue later.

911 Number Myrick read a letter from the Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce asking the town to install 911 emergency call capabilities. United Telephone representatives have stated this can not happen until January, 1987, after local phone switching has been further automated. The beard gave its consensus support to this concern. Myrick read a letter relative to Public Employees Retirement Fund status for town employees. The board will study this further since new legislation allows the cost to be amortised over a 15year period. The final discussion of the evening was on the Medusa Street traffic problem, with Jim Butts commenting from the floor.

Syracuse clean-up rained out

The local Brownies and United Pentecostal Church youth group gathered at Calvary United Methodist Church’s parking lot at the appointed time last Saturday, planning to receive their orders and trash bags, then spread out to pick up the multitude of items left lying along the roadside. They waited impatiently in their cars for the rain to subside, some leaping out eagerly to check the weather and being called back by alert mothers. Clean-Up coordinators, Linda Phillabaum of Living Quarters and Jeanne Gardiner of State Bank of Syracuse, finally made the decision to reschedule the event, moving it to Saturday, June 1, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Cars filled with kids began receiving the message and pulling out one by one, waving and smiling, looking forward to the new date. Rev. David Hudson,

leader of the UPC group, made plans to take an allotment of trash bags and go ahead with part of the clean-up (cutting weeds and picking up trash from the Village ditches) just as soon . as the weather cleared. They will be responsible for disposing of the bags they fill. The coordinators called Stuckman’s Sanitation to let them know of the pick-up change so that the company wouldn’t make a wasted run up SR 13 to pick up the proposed trash bags, and informed the town clerk of the new date. Willing hands are invited to help with the rescheduled cleanup on June 1. Those participating should be at Calvary’s parking lot at 10 a.m. to receive bags and instructions. Participants will receive special “thank you” coupons donated by the Dairy Queen and Three Flags Drive-In.
