Woodbury Heights is governed under the [[Borough (New Jersey)|Borough]] form of New Jersey municipal government. The governing body consists of a Mayor and a Borough Council comprising six council members, 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 consists of 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.<ref name=DataBook>''2012 New Jersey Legislative District Data Book'', [[Rutgers University]] [[Edward J.

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.<ref>Cerra, Michael F.

Government

Local government

Woodbury Heights is governed under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government. The governing body consists of a Mayor and a Borough Council comprising six council members, 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 consists of 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 Woodbury Heights, the most common system used in the state, 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.[30][31]

As of 2015, the Mayor of Woodbury Heights is Democrat Robbie Conley, whose term of office ends December 31, 2018, Borough Council members are Richard Gambale (D, 2017; Property, Insurance, Education and Environmental), Eshia “Jake” Jacob (2017; Recreation and Civic), William C. Packer (D, 2016; Finance, Administration and Personnel), Duane Pheasant (D, 2015; Public Safety), Harold "Hap" Pye (D, 2015; Street, Trash and Recycling) and Cara Witasick (D, 2016; Water and Sewer).[32][33][34][35][36][37][38]
