According to information on the township's website, budgets are prepared by the township manager with assistance from the Finance Director and staff. The finance director is a member of the township's Financial Planning Committee, which meets on a monthly basis to review and recommend to the Board of Supervisors requests for capital purchases suggested by department supervisors.
