Our adopted Task Force bylaws allow any town, city, or village in the county to have a voting member appointed to the Task Force. If you are interested in becoming involved with the County CSC Task Force and you don't see a representative from your municipality listed here, please let us know and we can guide you through the process of joining. Appointment as a voting member is done by the County Board of Supervisors and requires nomination by the chief elected official of your municipality.
