Purchasing prepares purchases orders from requisitions of various departments. We have a centralized purchasing office that oversees the departments' purchasing requests ensuring all state and local contract laws are followed. This includes requiring quotes, reviewing New Jersey State contracts and recommending going out for bids. All of this is done to ensure that the Township receives the most competitive pricing.

Accounts Payable prepares a Bill List and presents it to the Township Committee twice a month for their approval. Bills are paid the first week of each month.
