Local government

Roxbury operates under the Council-Manager form of Government under the Faulkner Act. The township is one of 42 of 565 municipalities statewide that use this form of government.[50] The Township Council is comprised of seven elected officials. Council members are elected for four-year terms on a staggered basis in partisan elections held in odd-numbered years, with three at-large seats selected together and one seat from each of four wards elected two years later. The mayor and deputy mayor are chosen from within the council by the members of the council at a reorganization meeting held each year during the first week in January to serve one-year terms of office.[3] The manager is responsible for the day-to-day operations associated with all municipal activities. The manager directs, administers and coordinates the activities of the municipality in full support of policies, goals and objectives established by the governing body.

As of 2020, the members of Roxbury's Township Council are Mayor Robert DeFillippo (R, term on council ends December 31, 2021 / term as mayor ends 2020; at large), Deputy Mayor Fred Hall (R, term on council ends 2023 / term as deputy mayor ends 2020; Ward 3), Jacqueline "Jaki" Albrect (R, 2023; Ward 2), Tom Carey (R, 2023; Ward 4), Mark Crowley (R, 2021; at large), Jim Rilee (R, 2021; at large) and Richard Zoschak (R, 2023; Ward 1).[4][51][52][53][54][55][56]

If the commission votes to recommend a merger, the decision would have to be ratified by a referendum of the voters in each community.[57]
