The county is still looking for members and taking recommendations from the Board of Legislators and the community.

Westchester County Executive George Latimer said, "We want to get a balanced group of people. We want folks that represent the different geographies of Westchester County. The different demographics of Westchester County."

At least 20 volunteers will make up the task force.
