The Administration Department is responsible for ensuring the implementation of the policy and initiatives determined by the Town of Biscoe Council. The department serves as a support and liaison to all Town of Biscoe departments, ensuring services are provided to residents in the most effective, responsive and cost-efficient manner. In addition, the Administration Department is responsible for enforcement of the laws and ordinances of the Town of Biscoe, administration of contracts on behalf of the Town of Biscoe, safekeeping of all Town of Biscoe documents and oversight of the operations of the Town of Biscoe Attorney, who is appointed by the Town of Biscoe Council.
The Administration Department consists of the Town of Biscoe Manager, Town of Biscoe Clerk, and additional administrative support staff. Operations at the front desk of Town of Biscoe Hall fall under the purview of Administration, where applications are taken for the rental of Town of Biscoe Hall meeting rooms and payments are taken for various collections/fees.
