# 09/15/26 Harbor Management Commission

The Town of Fairfield Connecticut Harbor Management Commission held a meeting on September 15, 2026, where key procurement-related discussions focused on supporting grant applications for harbor dredging and related studies. The commission voted unanimously to approve submitting two ship grant applications to partially fund a $19,575 study and a $4,000 bathymetric survey, with the commission agreeing to cover up to $10,000 of the unfunded portion from the mooring account. The commission also discussed the need for biological testing related to dredging projects, the importance of maintaining navigable harbor areas for public safety and recreational use, and coordination with private entities such as the yacht club and country club for these efforts. Additionally, the commission addressed ongoing harbor management issues including dock maintenance, vessel safety, and coordination with other town departments. A memorial dedication and updates on flood and erosion control planning were also discussed, though these were not procurement-related.
