Member Doug Hardy shared a letter he received from Lisa Richardson regarding sea-level rise. There will be a series of meetings, with the first being held on January 29, 2009 at Bmokhaven National Lab from 4:00 - 7:00 PM. Jack McGreevy suggested Doug attend the meeting on behalf of the CAC. Chairman Don Wilder distributed a draft letter he would like to submit to the Town Board concerning docks on the bay.
