The Village of Lansing Board of Trustees held a public hearing on Apr. 5 to discuss the proposed village budget for 2021-2022 and also heard recommendations for the Planning Boardâs on developing and maintaining sidewalks in the village.
No one from the community showed up to the public hearing on the proposed budget and so the budget was passed.Â
âItâs amazing we spend all this money and nobodyâs even interested,â Mayor Don Hartill commented.Â
For those who could not attend, here is a rundown of the changes:
â¢The total salary for the Board of Trustees is $27,000 (four trustees; $6,750 per trustee).
On March 1, the Village of Lansing Board of Trustees held public hearings on several local laws. Approximately ten community members were in attendance.
There was supposed to be a public hearing on an amendment to change the lot dimensions and protect the greenspace at the Lansing Meadows project Planned Development Area (PDA). The subject of increasing the lot size and adding subdivisions has been a source of controversy over the past few months. Trustee Ronny Hardaway has continually expressed a desire for more greenspace, as originally planned in the PDA.
Discussion on this topic was delayed at two previous meetings in January because project developer Eric Goetzmann was unable to attend in-person. It was decided at a trustee meeting on Feb. 1 that a public hearing would be held at the March 1 meeting. However, in a letter sent to the Board of Trustees, prior to the March 1 meeting, Goetzmann asked to withdraw his request to modify the district regulations.Â
