What does a Township Committee Member do?
Learn More
A township committee member serves on the governing body of a township, which is a form of municipal government commonly found in New Jersey. The roles and responsibilities
of township committee members include the following:
Legislative Responsibilities: Township committee members are responsible for enacting ordinances, resolutions, and regulations that govern the township. They make
decisions on local laws, zoning, land use, and other matters that impact the community.
Budgeting and Financial Oversight: Committee members participate in the development and approval of the township’s annual budget. This involves allocating funds to
various departments, services, and projects, as well as setting tax rates and managing financial resources.
Executive Functions: The township committee also has executive responsibilities, such as appointing key officials (like the township administrator, attorney, or engineer)
and overseeing the implementation of policies and ordinances. In some townships, one committee member may serve as the mayor, who presides over meetings and represents
the township in official matters.
Public Services and Infrastructure: Committee members oversee the provision of public services, including road maintenance, public safety, parks and recreation, and
other essential services. They work to ensure that infrastructure projects are completed and that services are delivered efficiently.
Community Representation: As elected officials, township committee members represent the interests and concerns of the township’s residents. They engage with the
community, attend public meetings, and respond to constituents' concerns to ensure that the local government is addressing the needs of the people.
Strategic Planning: Committee members are involved in long-term planning for the township, which may include land use planning, economic development initiatives, and
efforts to improve the quality of life for residents.
Collaboration: In townships with a committee form of government, decisions are often made collaboratively, with members voting on important issues. The committee
typically operates on a majority vote basis, where the collective input of the members shapes township policies and initiatives.
