New Business
*  The lack of quorum was noted which curtailed any voting for this meeting.

*  A letter was passed out by Henrietta which had been written by both Sue
Starrfield and Henrietta Harris. The letter expressed several concerns about
the following of by-laws by the Council, the role of MAT Executive Council
President and a recommendation of Ofelia Marin as CFAC representative (to serve
with Henrietta).  The issue was tabled  because of lack of quorum.

Committee Reports (limited number of reports due to limited attendance)
*  Professional Growth (Maridel Chase)-
        Persons who submitted requests for August will be notified soon.  Mary
        Lou Mosley is frequently unable to respond quickly to professional
        growth questions due to other committee demands.  As such, other
        persons are needed to be available as contacts to answer last minute
        questions in her absence.

*  VISIONS (Maridel Chase)
        VISIONS Committee is no longer in existence.  At this time, there is no
        money set aside for future VISIONS projects.  VISIONS monies were used
        for Apollo training opportunities.  Donna Schober at District would be
        the contact for information on future VISIONS-like programs.

*  Duties of MAT Officers- tabled until next meeting

*  Meet and Confer
        The Council President should sit as Chair person of this committee.

        response will be distributed to the MAT membership in order to receive
        comments and concerns prior to finalization.


*  Dues
        The issue concerning dues was tabled but the following discussions were
        held: collect dues and use for a MAT breakfast or year end conference;
        if dues are collected, we need to have a specific plan for their usage.
