Government

Local government

Elmwood Park 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.[5] The Borough form of government, 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.[35][36]

As of 2017, Republican Robert Colletti is serving as mayor,[37] following the death of Richard A. Mola, who had served continuously as mayor for nearly 45 years, from 1972 (a year before the borough's name was changed from East Paterson) until his death on October 20, 2016; Colletti will serve until the November 2017 general election, when voters will choose a candidate to serve the two years remaining on Mola's term of office.[38][39] Members of the Elmwood Park Borough Council are Council President Magdalena Giandomenico (R, 2018), Frank Caramagna (D, 2016), Anthony Chirdo (R, 2018), Joseph Dombrowski (D, 2019), Daniel Golabek (D, 2019), Louis Vuoncino (R, 2017) and Keith Work (R, 2017; appointed to serve an unexpired term).[6][40][41][42][43][44]

Keith Work was appointed to fill the seat expiring in December 2017 that was vacated by Robert Colletti when he was appointed as mayor.

In September 2016, the borough council selected Frank Caramagna, a former councilmember, to fill the seat expiring in December 2016 that had been held by Democrat Stephen Martino until his resignation earlier that month after announcing that he was moving out of the borough.[45]

On November 7, 2017, Frank Caramagna Won the Mayoral Election to finish off Former Mayor Richard Mola’s term. He will be the first Democratic Mayor of Elmwood Park as it has been previously under Republican control for over 40 years.
