Government

[edit]

Local government

[edit]

Pemberton Borough is governed under the borough form of New Jersey municipal government, which is used in 218 municipalities (of the 564) statewide, making it the most common form of government in New Jersey.[41] 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 includes 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.[6] The borough form of government used by Pemberton 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.[42][43]

As of 2023, the mayor of Pemberton Borough is Republican Harold Griffin, whose term of office ends December 31, 2023. Members of the Borough Council are Council President Terry Jerome (R, 2023), Karl "Nick" Conner (R, 2024), Diane Fanucci (R, 2025), Steven Fenster (D, 2025), Andrea Martin (R, 2024) and Melissa Tettemer (R, 2023; elected to serve an unexpired term).[3][44][45][46][47][48]

In September 2020, Melissa Tettemer was chosen to fill the seat expiring in December 2023 that became vacant following the death of George Ward.[49] Tettemer was elected in November 2020 to serve the rmaainedr of the term of office.[47]

The borough council appointed Harold Griffin in January 2014 to fill the vacant seat of William Kochersperger, who had resigned from his seat as mayor that month.[50]
