Lakewood Township

Lakewood's Township Committee is a 5 member committee elected in staggered terms for three years. Committee meetings are generally held on two Thursdays each month, the public portion beginning at 7:30 P.M., usually in the auditorium of the municipal building.

The Township Committee exercises all legislative power of the Township, except in matters of health, which are done at the Board of Health. In addition, the Committee appoints members to many Boards, Commissions, and Committees. Each member of the Township Committee serves as a liaison to different Divisions, Departments, and Committees.

The Mayor, elected from among the members of the Committee, presides at meetings and performs other such duties as the Township Committee may prescribe. The Mayor has the power to appoint subcommittees with the consent of the Committee. When authorized, he or she executes documents on behalf of the township, makes proclamations concerning holidays and events of interest, and exercises ceremonial power of the Township and other powers conferred upon him by law.
