Commissioners discussed outreach tied to Cybersecurity Awareness Month in October and were encouraged to submit a proclamation for the Oct. 1 agenda. The IT staff reminded commissioners the commission does not meet the first week of October and the next meeting is scheduled for Oct. 13 in the same room, so the Oct. 1 agenda would require early submission.
