Government

Local government

Pemberton Township is governed within the Faulkner Act (formally known as the Optional Municipal Charter Law) under the Mayor-Council form of municipal government (Plan 1), implemented based on the recommendations of a Charter Study Commission as of January 1, 1991, changing from a five-member Township Committee form based on the results of a referendum passed by voters in 1989.[52][53][54] The governing body consists of a Mayor and a five-member Township Council, all of whom are elected at-large in partisan elections to serve four-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with either two seats (and the mayoral seat) or three seats up for election during even-numbered years as part of the November general election.[8][55] Voters approved a November 2006 referendum to change from having all five council seats up for vote simultaneously to a system in which the elections are staggered every two years. Under the terms of the change, the two candidates receiving the highest number of votes in the November 2010 election would serve full four-year terms, with the three other winners serving two-year terms.[56] As the three winners with the lowest number of votes in the 2010 election, the terms of Rick Prickett, Sherry Scull and Diane Stinney ended in December 2012.[57]

As of 2016, the Mayor of Pemberton Township is Democrat David A. Patriarca, whose term of office ends December 31, 2018.[4] Members of the Pemberton Township Council are Council President Jason Allen (D, 2018), Letha Jackson (D, 2018), Kenneth Cartier (D, 2016), Jack Tompkins (R, 2016; elected to serve an unexpired term) and Norma Trueblood (D, 2016).[58][59][60][61][62]

In March 2016, the Township Council appointed former councilmember Kenneth Cartier to fill the seat expiring in December 2016 that became vacant following the death of Diane Stinney.[63]

Sherry Scull resigned from office in August 2015 due to issues related to her state pension.[64] In September, the Township Council selected Thomas J. Cathers Sr., from a list of three candidates nominated by the Democratic municipal committee to fill the seat on an interim basis. In the November general election, Republican Jack Tompkins was elected to fill the balance of the term through December 2016.[65]

The Police Department consists of 57 officers and is headed by Chief David Jantas.[66]

Pemberton Township is located in the 3rd Congressional District[67] and is part of New Jersey's 8th state legislative district.[11][68][69]
