Notes from the June 24th Meeting

The meeting was called to order at 11:00 a.m. by President Tim Mahoney.

President Mahoney welcomed members, new attendees, old friends, and colleagues and explained that the agenda for the day would be the regular NETCO business meeting, followed by the Great Town Hall Session, featuring members of the Travis County delegation.

The minutes were approved as submitted.

Following a question-and-answer period, President Mahoney thanked the guests and adjourned the meeting and Town Hall. To view the video from the Town Hall: visit website: https://www.netcodems.com/meetings.
