Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners hosted a Shared Services Summit for local officials

FREEHOLD, NJ – The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners hosted a Shared Services Summit for elected and appointed officials at the Monmouth County Fire Academy on Nov. 13.

The Monmouth County Office of Shared Services facilitates partnerships with local government entities where the County provides services, equipment and resources to them which helps reduce costs and increase efficiencies.

“It is important for the County to be a partner with our municipalities, and the County’s Shared Services program is an excellent example of this commitment,” said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone, liaison to Monmouth County Office of Shared Services. “We know how challenging it is to maintain an annual budget without raising taxes, but together we can continue to help reduce the heavy tax burden on our residents and preserve the high quality of life we all have come to enjoy in Monmouth County.”

During the Summit, presentations were given by the Monmouth County Sheriff Shaun Golden, Monmouth County Clerk Christine Giordano Hanlon, the Monmouth County Department of Public Works and Engineering, the Monmouth County Tax Board and the Monmouth County Division of Planning, where each speaker provided background on services offered through shared services agreements.

“In addition to the resources we already offer through the Office on Shared Services, we want to hear from our local officials about what your needs are so we can try and assist you,” said Director Arnone.

Director Arnone encouraged municipal representatives to contact the Office on Shared Services for specific information about potential agreements.

“The Shared Services team and I are always available to help you get started, or answer any questions you may have, so contact us by calling 732-431-7460 or emailing us at sharedservices@co.monmouth.nj.us,” said Director Arnone. “We look forward to working with all our partners to make Monmouth County the best place to live.”
