Government
Local government
National Park 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.[37] The governing body is comprised of the mayor and the borough council, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. The 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 National Park 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.[38][39]
Joy Hibbs Gunn was selected by the borough council in August 2014 from three names nominated by the municipal Democratic committee to fill the vacant seat of Dennis Mehaffey, who resigned in the previous month due to conflicts with his work schedule.[40] in the November 2014 general election, Hibbs was elected to serve the balance of the term though December 2016.[41]
As of 2022[update], the mayor of National Park is Democrat Mark Cooper, whose term of office ends December 31, 2023. Members of the Borough Council are Jason Bish (D, 2023), Dennis R. Burke (D, 2022), James J. Butler (D, 2024), Aimee Hart (D, 2022), Ronald D. Sparks Jr. (D, 2024) and Kate Wadsworth (D, 2023; appointed to serve an unexpired term).[3][42][43][44][45][46]
Aimee Hart was appointed to fill the seat expiring in December 2022 that had been held by Joy Gunn.
