Mayor and Township Council

Berkeley Heights Government

In November of 2006, Berkeley Heights Township residents voted to change their form of government from a Township Committee to a Mayor Council Administrator form. The new government was initiated on January 1, 2007.

In the new Mayor-Council-Administrator form of government, the Mayor and Council function as independent branches of government. The Mayor presides over the Council and exercises the Executive powers of the Township. The Council exercises the Legislative power of the Township. The Mayor is elected and serves for a four-year term and the Six (6) Members of Council serve staggered terms of Three (3) years.
