Government

Local government

West Windsor Township is governed under the Faulkner Act (formally known as the Optional Municipal Charter Law) within the Mayor-Council form of New Jersey municipal government (Plan 6), implemented based on the recommendations of a Charter Study Commission as of July 1, 1993.[43][7] From the time of its formation in 1798, until 1993, the Township had been governed by a Township Committee, which combined both executive and legislative authority. In May 1993, West Windsor Township residents voted to change their form of government from the Township Committee to a Faulkner Act form.

Under the township's Mayor-Council form of government, the Mayor and Council function as independent branches of government. The Mayor is the Chief Executive of the Township and heads its Administration. The Mayor is elected in a non-partisan election and serves for a four-year term. The Mayor may attend Council meetings but is not obliged to do so. The Council is the legislative branch. The five members of the Township Council are elected on a non-partisan basis for four-year, staggered terms. At the annual organizational meeting held during the first week of July of each year, the Council elects a President and Vice President to serve for one-year terms. The Council President chairs the meetings of the governing body.[44]

As of 2013, the Mayor of West Windsor Township is Shing-Fu Hsueh, whose term of office ends December 31, 2013.[45] Members of the West Windsor Township Council are Council President George Borek (2015), Council Vice-President Kristina Samonte (2015), Linda Geevers (2013), Kamal Khanna (2013) and Bryan Maher (2015).[3][46]
