The Treasurer is the custodian of County funds and Library Commission funds.
All cash is controlled and invested to generate interest income.
The budget preparation process is done through the Budget Office which is a part of the Treasure's Department. The Budget Office provides budget hearings for all departments and prepares budget recommendations to be considered by the Board of Chosen Freeholders. This Office also develops and monitors a six-year Capital Improvement Plan for the County. County payrolls are prepared and issued by this department. They process the payment of monthly bills, are responsible for college chargebacks, and prepare State mandated financial reports.
