Government

Local government

Fieldsboro is governed under the borough form of New Jersey municipal government, which is used in 218 (of the 564) municipalities statewide, making it the most common form of government in New Jersey.[18] The governing body is comprised of a mayor and a borough council, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. A mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The borough council is comprised of six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year in a three-year cycle.[19] The borough form of government used by Fieldsboro is a "weak mayor / strong council" government in which council members act as the legislative body with the mayor presiding at meetings and voting only in the event of a tie. The mayor can veto ordinances subject to an override by a two-thirds majority vote of the council. The mayor makes committee and liaison assignments for council members, and most appointments are made by the mayor with the advice and consent of the council.[20][21]

Шаблон:As of, the mayor of Fieldsboro is Democrat David R. Hansell, whose term of office ends December 31, 2025. Members of the Borough Council are John Errigo (D, 2024; elected to serve an unexpired term), Richard Lynch (D, 2025), Charlene Lewis (D, 2023), Amy Telford (D, 2023; elected to serve an unexpired term), Timothy D. Tyler (R, 2024) and Rosemarie Weaver (D, 2025).[22][23][24][25]

In 2015, the borough disbanded its police force and reached an agreement with Bordentown City to provide police coverage in the borough as a shared service at a cost of $28,000 per year, less than half the cost to Fieldsboro for its three-man force.[26]

In February 2012, the council selected Jonathan Norcross to fill the vacancy on the borough council that had been created when David Hansell became mayor. Hansell had been appointed as mayor to fill the vacancy of Buddy Tyler following his death in November 2011.[27]
