The Township Committee is the governing body established by state law
for the Township form of government. The membership of the Cranbury Township
Committee was expanded from three to five in January, 1990. The terms of the
members are for three years staggered so that at least one member is up for
election each year. The membership annually chooses one of the members as
Mayor. The Mayor presides at the meetings and votes as a member of the
Committee. All formal legislative and executive powers are exercised by the
Committee as a whole.
Township Committee has allocated coordination of administrative and
department functions among its members. Every Township board and department has
at least one member of Committee as a liaison.
The Township form of government does not specify a chief administrative
officer. Cranbury Township Committee established this position through adoption
of the Administrator ordinance in 1990.
Township Committee meets in the Township Hall at 7:30 p.m. on the first
and third Monday of the month. Unless noticed otherwise, these meetings will
take place in the Cranbury Township Meeting room. On the fourth Monday of the
month, the meeting is in the Cranbury Township Hall at 8:00 p.m.
