Government

Local government

Woodstown is governed under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government. The governing body consists of a Mayor and a Borough Council comprising six council members, 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 consists 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.[3] The Borough form of government used by Woodstown, the most common system used in the state, 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.[34][35]

As of 2015, the Mayor of the Borough of Woodstown is Republican Don Dietrich, whose term of office ends December 31, 2015. Members of the Woodstown Borough Council (with party affiliation, term-end year and committee assignments listed in parentheses) are Council President David Layton (R, 2016; Utilities, Streets and Roads), John F. Hall (D, 2017; General Government / Finance), Joe Hiles (D, 2016; Finance and General Government), Glenn Merkle (R, 2015; Health, Recreation and Open Space / Public Safety), Ed Segrest (R, 2017; Public Safety, Health, Recreation and Open Space) and Debra Tierno (R, 2015; Streets / Roads and Utilities).[36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45]

In March 2015, the Borough Council selected Debbie Tierno from among three candidates nominated by the Republican municipal committee to fill the vacant seat of Fran Grenier who had resigned the previous month.[46]

Matt Perry was selected by the Borough Council in December 2013 from among three candidates offered by the Republican municipal committee to fill the vacant seat of Veronica Soultz who resigned from office the previous month after moving out of the borough.[47][48]
