The Administration Department is responsible for ensuring the implementation of the policy and initiatives determined by the Town 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, safekeeping of all Town documents and oversight of the operations of the Town Attorney, who is appointed by the Town Council.
