Local government

[edit]
Harrington Park municipal center

Harrington 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.[35] 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.[4] The borough form of government used by Harrington 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.[36][37]

As of 2024, the position as mayor of Harrington Park is vacant, following the death of Independent Paul A. Hoelscher, whose term of office was set to expire December 31, 2027. Members of the Harrington Park Borough Council are Council President Diane G. Walker (I, 2025), William Blackinton (I, 2024), Joon L. Chung (I, 2026), Gregory J. Evanella (I, 2025), Allan S. Napolitano (I, 2026) and Jorden "Nick" Pedersen (I, 2024).[38][39][40][41][42][43]

Paul Hoelscher, who had been the borough's mayor since being elected in 1992, died in office in June 2024.[44]

In March 2016, Diane Walker was selected to fill the seat expiring in December 2016 of Michael Rutigliano, who cited personal reasons for his resignation from office the previous month.[45][46]
