CAG MEETING: First Meeting: Reminder that the first CAG meeting will be Oct. 26, from 7 p.m. – 10 p.m. at the Old American Can Factory, 232 Third Street. The meeting is open to the public; please feel free to inform others. The draft agenda is at the bottom of this email.
Operating procedures and groundrules: I have attached the operating procedures and groundrules used by the Hudson River CAG, and request that we follow these until the Gowanus CAG has developed its own, particularly regarding how meetings are to be conducted. I anticipate that we will form a subcommittee to develop a draft set of procedures and groundrules that will be presented to the full CAG for consideration. In the meantime, I welcome any comments on these documents.
Flushing Tunnel presentation on Oct. 25: NYC DEP will provide a progress report on the ongoing Gowanus Canal Facilities upgrade project on Oct. 25 at 6:30 p.m. at PS 58. This will be a meeting of the CB6 Public Safety/Environmental Protection/Permits/Licenses Committee and will be open to all members of the public."
Regards,
Jeff
