# #MonmouthCounty Government: Shared Services Summit

The Monmouth County Government held its annual Shared Services Summit on September 25, 2026, focusing on best practices and partnerships to achieve cost savings and efficiency across its 53 municipalities. Key procurement-related discussions included the county's extensive shared service agreements, such as 911 dispatching, public works assistance, and transportation services, including the rebranded Ride in Monmouth program. The county highlighted its successful EMS MedStar program, which has significantly improved emergency response times through shared service contracts with municipalities. The meeting also covered the county clerk's records management shared services, including electronic land record filing and municipal records storage, offered at cost-effective rates to municipalities. Representatives from the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA) presented on grant programs supporting shared services, including the LEAP grant program that provides financial assistance for implementing shared services and feasibility studies, and the school regionalization efficiency program. The summit emphasized the county's leadership in shared services, the financial benefits to municipalities, and ongoing efforts to expand and innovate shared service offerings to improve public safety, infrastructure, and administrative functions.
