SOMERSET COUNTY - 2015 Somerset County is at the hub of Central New Jersey. Its 21 municipalities, which encompass 305 square miles, contain a diversity of landscape, population and development that reflects the varied lifestyles of its estimated 330,585 residents. As one of America’s oldest counties, Somerset is steeped in colonial and Revolutionary War history. The County was established by charter on May 22, 1688, with land conveyances dating to 1651. Historic sites, monuments and buildings are found in virtually every town, preserved for future generations. Located in the heart of the nation’s largest metropolitan area, with convenient access to New York and Philadelphia, Somerset County contains a balance between urban and suburban neighborhoods and rural countrysides. Fine residential communities, beautiful parks, excellent shopping areas, extensive farmlands, numerous historic sites and outstanding business and industry all make Somerset County a desirable place to live, work and play. The County’s 14,200 acres of parkland include golf courses, picnic areas, hiking and bicycling trails, stables, a swimming pool, an Environmental Education Center and the County Fairgrounds, which each year hosts the Somerset County 4-H Fair. The County has preserved 8,239 acres of farmland through its Agriculture Development Program, and another 3,253 acres of greenways through the County/Municipal Open Space Partnership Grant Program. Our educational facilities – Raritan Valley Community College and Somerset County Vocational & Technical Schools – are among the finest in the state. The college, a two-year school in Branchburg, includes a library/theater complex, a convention center and a planetarium; it also has satellite campuses in Bridgewater and Franklin. Many boards, commissions and advisory groups help the Freeholders determine priorities and procedures in areas ranging from farmland preservation to human services delivery. Members, who serve without compensation, perform a valuable service to their community. Environmental protection, conservation of resources, shared services and proper planning for future growth and development – all are major goals for County government. The Board of Chosen Freeholders remains dedicated to serving the residents of Somerset County and to maintaining the county’s nationwide reputation for excellence. 2

THE ROLE OF COUNTY GOVERNMENT “What Is A Freeholder?” Somerset County is governed and managed by a Board of Chosen Freeholders. The board consists of five members; one or two are elected each year from the County at large to serve three-year terms. New Jersey is the only state where elected county officials are called “freeholders.” Most other states elect a county commission or county council. The term “freeholder” is a carryover from colonial days, when only property owners - then known as freeholders - were entitled to vote, and one freeholder represented each municipality. Eventually, the number of freeholders in each county was reduced by statute and is now determined by referendum, and cannot exceed nine members. Freeholders elect from among themselves a director who conducts their meetings. Each Freeholder in Somerset County chairs a standing committee: Human Services, Finance and Administrative Services, Public Works and Public Health & Safety. The Freeholder Director and County Administrator are ex-officio members of each committee. The position of Freeholder is considered part-time, although due to the complexity of County government today, an increasing amount of time is spent by these elected officials on County business. The Freeholders employ a full-time County Administrator who manages the day-to-day operations of County government. The Clerk of the Board of Freeholders oversees the work of their offices. Department heads are appointed in accordance with statute and by resolution of the board. Somerset County currently has 1,125 full-time employees and 95 part-time employees in 52 divisions. Among the many essential services provided by Somerset County government are higher education, road and bridge maintenance, curbside recycling, parks and recreation, employment training, social services, recording of deeds and wills and much more.

THE ROLE OF COUNTY GOVERNMENT “What Is A Freeholder?” Somerset County is governed and managed by a Board of Chosen Freeholders. The board consists of five members; one or two are elected each year from the County at large to serve three-year terms. New Jersey is the only state where elected county officials are called “freeholders.” Most other states elect a county commission or county council. The term “freeholder” is a carryover from colonial days, when only property owners - then known as freeholders - were entitled to vote, and one freeholder represented each municipality. Eventually, the number of freeholders in each county was reduced by statute and is now determined by referendum, and cannot exceed nine members. Freeholders elect from among themselves a director who conducts their meetings. Each Freeholder in Somerset County chairs a standing committee: Human Services, Finance and Administrative Services, Public Works and Public Health & Safety. The Freeholder Director and County Administrator are ex-officio members of each committee. The position of Freeholder is considered part-time, although due to the complexity of County government today, an increasing amount of time is spent by these elected officials on County business. The Freeholders employ a full-time County Administrator who manages the day-to-day operations of County government. The Clerk of the Board of Freeholders oversees the work of their offices. Department heads are appointed in accordance with statute and by resolution of the board. Somerset County currently has 1,125 full-time employees and 95 part-time employees in 52 divisions. Among the many essential services provided by Somerset County government are higher education, road and bridge maintenance, curbside recycling, parks and recreation, employment training, social services, recording of deeds and wills and much more.

SOMERSET COUNTY - 2015 Somerset County is at the hub of Central New Jersey. Its 21 municipalities, which encompass 305 square miles, contain a diversity of landscape, population and development that reflects the varied lifestyles of its estimated 330,585 residents. As one of America’s oldest counties, Somerset is steeped in colonial and Revolutionary War history. The County was established by charter on May 22, 1688, with land conveyances dating to 1651. Historic sites, monuments and buildings are found in virtually every town, preserved for future generations. Located in the heart of the nation’s largest metropolitan area, with convenient access to New York and Philadelphia, Somerset County contains a balance between urban and suburban neighborhoods and rural countrysides. Fine residential communities, beautiful parks, excellent shopping areas, extensive farmlands, numerous historic sites and outstanding business and industry all make Somerset County a desirable place to live, work and play. The County’s 14,200 acres of parkland include golf courses, picnic areas, hiking and bicycling trails, stables, a swimming pool, an Environmental Education Center and the County Fairgrounds, which each year hosts the Somerset County 4-H Fair. The County has preserved 8,239 acres of farmland through its Agriculture Development Program, and another 3,253 acres of greenways through the County/Municipal Open Space Partnership Grant Program. Our educational facilities – Raritan Valley Community College and Somerset County Vocational & Technical Schools – are among the finest in the state. The college, a two-year school in Branchburg, includes a library/theater complex, a convention center and a planetarium; it also has satellite campuses in Bridgewater and Franklin. Many boards, commissions and advisory groups help the Freeholders determine priorities and procedures in areas ranging from farmland preservation to human services delivery. Members, who serve without compensation, perform a valuable service to their community. Environmental protection, conservation of resources, shared services and proper planning for future growth and development – all are major goals for County government. The Board of Chosen Freeholders remains dedicated to serving the residents of Somerset County and to maintaining the county’s nationwide reputation for excellence. 2
