Local government

The Borough of Spotswood operates within the Faulkner Act (formally known as the Optional Municipal Charter Law of 1950) under the Mayor-Council (Plan B), implemented based on the recommendations of a Charter Study Commission as of July 1, 1976.[41] The borough is one of 71 municipalities (of the 565) statewide that use this form of government.[42] The governing body is comprised of the Mayor and the five-member Borough Council, who are chosen at-large to four-year terms of office on a non-partisan basis in elections held on a staggered basis in even-numbered years as part of the November general election. Three council seats are up for election together and two years later two council seats and the mayoral seat are up for vote.[3] The mayor is the chief executive and has responsibility for the administration of the government. The legislative power resides solely within the borough council. There is separation of legislative and executive power in this form of government.[43]

As of 2020, the Mayor of Spotswood is Ed Seely whose term of office ends December 31, 2020.[4] Members of the Borough Council are Council President Willam "Larry" Kraemer (2022), John Melillo (2020), Theodore "Ted" Ricci (2022), Jose Rivera (2020) and Charles Spicuzzo (2022).[44][45][46][47][48]

In May 2015, Councilmember Frank LoSacco resigned from office from a term expiring in December 2016.[49] In the November 2015 general election, Servis was elected to serve the balance of the term of office[50] and was sworn in at the December 7, 2015, meeting after the election results were certified.[51]

Citing potential savings of $25,000, Spotswood's council approved a measure in 2010 that would allow the borough to take advantage of new state legislation under which it would to shift its non-partisan municipal elections from May to the November general election, with the first municipal race taking place in November 2012.[52] In the November 2012 general election, Nicholas Poliseno defeated Curtis Stollen in the mayoral race to succeed Thomas W. Barlow, who didn't run for re-election. Council incumbents Frank LoSacco and Edward T. Seely ran unopposed.[53]
