Chairman Wise explained that a consortium of energy companies have proposed to build a floating LNG transfer facility nine miles off Shoreham in the New York waters of Long Island Sound.  This has become a very controversial proposal.  Councilor Freierman has been invited to participate in a 2-day meeting in Port Jefferson.  She is unable to do so and asked if someone else from the Council would be interested in attending.  Chairman Wise said that since the Council has not discussed nor taken a position on this proposal, anyone who attends from the Council would be doing so in a strictly reportorial mode.  Chairman Wise said that depending on his calendar, he would try to attend and would report back to the Council at the next meeting.  The Broadwater proposal issue will be placed on the Council 17 May 2005 meeting agenda.
