Chairman Willauer asks for public comment/concerns.
Residents of Brant Point and some Cliff Road area residents express concerns about
mosquitoes. Some residents ask for spraying, others are against spraying.
HO Ray discusses the town's concern about mosquitoes, discusses the heavy spring rain,
and what homeowner's can do to protect themselves and their properties. The town is
reluctant to spray due to the fact there have been no health risks at this point in time (no
EEE or WNV threat to humans).
