Government
Local government
Westville 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.[7] The borough form of government used by Westville 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.[4][42][43]
As of 2022[update], the mayor of Westville is Democrat Fritz H. Sims Jr., who was appointed to serve an unexpired term of office ending December 31, 2022. Members of the Westville Borough Council are Council President Charles D. Murtaugh (D, 2023), Donna M. Domico (D, 2023), Travis Lawrence (D, 2022), Paul C. Mailley (D, 2022), Bruce Nordaby (D, 2024) and Tim Young (D, 2024).[4][44][45][46][47][48][49]
In June 2020, Fritz H. Sims Jr. was appointed to fill the seat expiring in December 2022 that became vacant following the resignation of Russell W. Welsh Jr. after moving out of Westville.[50]
