FREEHOLD, NJ – As part of their series on successful shared services partnerships, the Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners is proud to showcase the shared services agreements between Monmouth County and Manalapan Township.

Manalapan Township is one of Monmouth County’s 53 municipalities that consistently utilize shared services agreements to help reduce expenses and improve operational efficiency within its municipality.

“Monmouth County is proud to be a true partner to our municipalities, like Manalapan Township, and we demonstrate this partnership through our thriving shared services program,” said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone, liaison to the Office of Shared Services. “Shared services agreements provide municipalities with essential services at a reduced cost, ultimately saving taxpayers money.”

“Shared services are smart government — eliminating duplication and putting our residents first while getting the most for your taxpayer dollars,” said Manalapan Mayor Eric Nelson. “The continued partnership between Manalapan Township and Monmouth County is a win for everyone in our community.”

Manalapan Township currently participates in several shared services, including the Commodity Resale Agreement, iTaxMap, Municipal Assistance Agreement, OPRS-RIM, Public Safety Answering Point, and Tax Board MOD IV.
