[CPEO-MEF] COMMUNITIES: Navy cuts RAB frequency in Alameda

[The Navy has told the Moffett Field Restoration Advisory Board the  
same thing. I don't expect that we'll object (at Moffett), because we  
should be able to review all ongoing projects on a quarterly basis.  
But I am disturbed that this came down as a unilateral, one-size-fits- 
all decision from headquarters, rather that a decision made in  
consultation with the communities. If the Navy wants to cut RAB- 
support expenses, I would imagine that plenty of RAB members might  
have other suggestions. - LS]
