MOUNT OLIVE TOWNSHIP, NJ (Morris County) – The Mount Olive Township Council Wednesday approved a resolution joining cities throughout the State recognizing New Jersey Local Government Week from April 7 – 13, 2024.
“Because local government is the government closest to most citizens, and the one with the most direct daily impact upon its residents, it is important that residents understand how their local government operates, the services it provides, and the importance of their active involvement,” officials said.
The 199 employees (164 full time & 35 part time), are directly responsible for keeping the township growing in a fiscally responsible direction, providing excellent public safety resources, offering recreation opportunities for residents of all ages, maintaining township infrastructure, and practicing responsible sustainable efforts, officials said.
“The employees are dedicated and strive to provide exceptional customer service to our residents, businesses, and visitors,” officials said.
NJ Local Government Week is an opportunity to help our residents become more informed about the many services we provide, which will lead to more knowledgeable citizen participation in the future.
NJ Local Government Week, sponsored by the NJ State League of Municipalities, is a weeklong celebration that raises awareness about the importance of municipal government and its daily impact on residents.
On Tuesday, April 9 from 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. in the Council Chambers, the Township will be hosting “Coffee with Council”. This event will give you an opportunity to meet our Township Council and discuss your questions and concerns.
In addition, on April 11, the township will be recognizing its employees with an appreciation luncheon.
