Township Committee Meetings
2nd & 4th Thursday of each Month
*Refer to monthly calendar for any changes to regular meeting schedule.
Washington Township is governed by a Township Committee form of local government.
The township form of municipal government in New Jersey was first established by the Township Act of 1798, which created New Jersey's original 104 townships. Today, the township form of government is contained in NJSA 40A:63-1 et seq. (PL1989, c 157; otherwise known as the Township Act of 1989).
The governing body is composed of five members elected at large for staggered three-year terms. Every January, the Township Committee re-organizes and selects a mayor and deputy mayor from among its membership.
The Township Committee members work part-time for the Township and do not have offices or phone extensions in the municipal building, however, they can be contacted by leaving a message with the Township Clerk's office at (609) 259-7082 or by writing to them at:
