The
Borough of Woodland Park was chartered by the State of New Jersey
to function under a variation of the Faulkner
Act, Small Municipality Plan of the Option Municipal Charter
Law form of government.
The Mayor and six Council members serve staggered
terms. A partisan municipal election is held every year in November.
One year the voters choose a new mayor. The next year three council
members must be chosen. Then in the third year the other three council
members are elected. A government reorganization takes place at the
first meeting in January of every year, at which time a mayor-elect
or newly elected council members are sworn in.
Currently serving a three-year term, the Mayor of Woodland Park exercises executive
power and appoints department heads with Council approval.
The Council may adopt the municipal budget proposed
by the Mayor, but revisions may be required by a majority of the governing
body before final approval.
Public meetings of the Mayor and Council are held
on Wednesday evenings in the Council Chambers at the Municipal Building.
The Municipal Clerk and Borough Attorney must be present at regular
meetings. A portion of each meeting is opened up to the public for
comments or questions directed to the governing body. In prior years,
the Mayor and Council conducted one conference meeting
and one regular meeting per month. Effective January 2006,
all are regular Council Meetings
Council Meetings in the Council Chambers start
at 7:00 pm and can be watched
Live on Cablevision
Channel 77.
The Agenda for an upcoming Council Meeting is usually posted a few days before the meeting. Every effort is made to post a completed agenda on this website, but last minute additions or revisions can be made up until the day of the meeting. Therefore, copies of the meeting agenda placed on the dais for the Mayor and Council, as well as in the council chambers for the public, are the official version being used during the meeting.

before the full governing body at a Council Meeting for further
discussion and action.
