The CAAB also makes policy recommendations and advises the Board of Supervisors on low-income residents' needs, concerns, and aspirations. Vic Mukai, our representative to the Information Technology Policy Advisory Committee, or ITPAC. Needless to say, information technology touches almost every aspect of local government, affecting safety, citizen convenience, cost savings, and quality of life. But it can be incredibly complex to manage and implement. Over the last year alone, ITPAC has grappled with computer-aided emergency dispatch, data collection from voting machines, electronic payment processing, and more. our third presentation will be from Jan Auerbach, Judy Harbeck, and Walt Carlson, our representatives to the recent FCPS School Board Transportation Task Force, which tackled the long-standing issue of high-school opening times, among other issues.
