In 1999, as a response to the fast changing advances in technology and Y2K issues, the Town Board established the ad hoc advisory Computer Task Force. This group has evolved into a volunteer standing committee of members with private sector expertise in the field of IT. They serve at the pleasure of the Town Board and meet on an as needed basis when requested by the Town Board to evaluate present Town systems, to recommend the most efficient cost effective upgrades as needed and to inform the Town Board of the latest advancements in IT that may be applicable for town use. The Town of Orchard Park GIS/Computer Support/ Network Specialist works closely with this committee.
