Government

Local government

Lodi operates under the 1923 Municipal Manager Law form of New Jersey municipal government. The voters elect five members to a council who are elected at-large in non-partisan elections held as part of the May municipal election to serve four-year terms of office on a concurrent basis.[6] A mayor and deputy mayor are selected by the council from among its members. The council is an exclusively legislative body with responsibility for day-to-day operation of the borough assigned to a manager who acts as the municipal chief executive and executes laws and policies, prepares the budget for council consideration and attends and participates at meetings with a voice, but no vote. The manager recommends improvements and implements those approved, as well as oversees contracts and franchises and reports violations. It is the responsibility of the manager to appoint and remove department heads and make all additional appointments not made by the council.[37]

As of July 2015, members of the Lodi Township Council are Mayor Emil Carafa, Jr. (term as mayor ends June 30, 2016), Deputy Mayor Patricia Ann Licata (term as deputy mayor ends June 30, 2016), Laura E. Cima, Paula Fiduccia and Vincent Martin, all of whom were elected in May 2015 and serve terms of office that expire on June 30, 2019.[38][39][40][41]

In February 2015, the township council selected Emil Carafa, Jr., to fill the vacant council seat of Mayor Marc Schrieks, who left office to take a position in the administration of County Executive James J. Tedesco III, while Bruce Masopust was chosen to succeed Schrieks in his role as mayor.[42]

Schrieks had been elected by the council as mayor on July 1, 2008, and served until June 30, 2009, making him the youngest person to ever serve as its Mayor.[43] Karen Viscana was the first woman to serve as mayor in the history of Lodi when she was sworn in to office in 2008.[44]

Tedesco III (D, Paramus; term ends December 31, 2018).[58] The seven freeholders are elected at-large in partisan elections on a staggered basis, with two or three seats coming up for election each year, with a Chairman, Vice Chairman and Chairman Pro Tempore selected from among its members at a reorganization meeting held each January.[59] Bergen County's Freeholders are Freeholder Chairwoman Joan Voss (D, 2017; Fort Lee),[60] Vice Chairman Steve Tanelli (D, 2015; North Arlington)[61] Chairman Pro Tempore John A. Felice (R, 2016; River Edge),[62] David L. Ganz (D, 2017; Fair Lawn),[63] Maura R. DeNicola (R, 2016; Franklin Lakes)[64] Thomas J.
