It consists of 4 adjoining "towns" that have a consolidated school district, police, volunteer fire department (with multiple firehouses), trash collection, streets/public works, parks and recs, municipal services, etc. Her town only has about 5000 residents but the entire township has about 20,000, and is run by a Township Manager (elected position). So I've seen those types of setups (we have boroughs here too, which are usually smaller than cities but bigger than some townships)!
