Government

Local government

In November 2004, township residents voted to change their form of government from a Township Committee to a Mayor-Council form under the Faulkner Act. The new form of government took effect as of July 1, 2005.[4][5] The Mayor-Council form of government is used by 71 of the state's 565 municipalities.[50] In this form, the Mayor and Council function as independent branches of government. The Mayor is the Chief Executive of the Township and heads its Administration. The Mayor is elected on a non-partisan basis and serves for a four-year term. The Mayor may attend Council meetings but is not obliged to do so.[5] The Council is the legislative branch. The five members of the Township Council are elected on a non-partisan basis for staggered four-year terms of office as part of the November general election in odd-numbered years with three seats up one year and the two other seats (and the mayoral seat) up for election two years later. At the annual organizational meeting held during the first week of January of each year, the Council selects a President and Vice President to serve for one-year terms. The Council President chairs the meetings of the governing body.[51] Following an ordinance passed in December 2011, municipal elections were shifted from May to November, with the terms of all township council members then serving extend by six months, to December 31.[52]

As of 2020, the Mayor of Robbinsville Township is David Fried, whose term of office ends December 31, 2021.[6] Members of the Township Council are Council President Ronald C. Witt Jr. (2023), Council Vice President Michael Cipriano (2021), Vincent Calcagno (2021), Christine "Chris" Ciaccio (2023) and Dan Schuberth (2023).[5][53][54][55][56]
