Hoc Emerging Technology Committee, The Technology Committee, and the Ad Hoc Broadband
Committee; and
WHEREAS, the proposal from Government Technology Group, LLC proved to the best proposal
for the Town; and

until later this or early next year as part of the City Council's 2022 Strategic Priorities.
