Government

[edit]

Local government

[edit]

Franklin Lakes is governed under the borough form of New Jersey municipal government, which is used in 218 municipalities (of the 564) statewide, making it the most common form of government in New Jersey.[47] The governing body is comprised of a mayor and a borough council, 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 includes 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.[7] The borough form of government used by Franklin Lakes 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.[48][49] All council meetings are held at the Borough Hall located on DeKorte Drive, formerly Municipal Drive.

As of 2024, the mayor of Franklin Lakes is Republican Charles J. X. Kahwaty, whose term of office ends on December 31, 2026. Members of the Franklin Lakes Borough Council are Council President Gary H. Sheppard (R, 2026), Joel Ansh (R, 2025), Ardith Cardenas (R, 2025), Michelle M. DeLuccia (R, 2024; elected to serve an unexpired term), Gail A. Kelly (R, 2026) and Thomas G. Lambrix (R, 2024).[3][50][51][52][53][54]

In July 2021, the borough council chose Susan McGowan to fill the seat expiring in December 2022 that had been held by Dennis Bonagura until resigned from office after the council implemented a nepotism policy that would impact the possibility that his son could have been hired by the borough as a police officer.[55][56] Bonagura ran for office again in November 2021 and was elected to serve the balance of his own unexpired term.[54]

The borough administrator is Gregory C. Hart.[5]
