Government

Local government

Effective January 1, 1972, the voters in the Township approved a change to a Mayor-Council form of government, governed by a directly elected mayor and a seven-member Township Council elected on an at-large basis. The mayor operates the government with the assistance of a Township Administrator, with the Council performing a legislative role. Starting from its inception in 1871, Mount Olive had been governed under the Township form of municipal government, by a three-person Township Committee, which was expanded to five members in 1968.[18]

Mount Olive Township is governed under the Optional Municipal Charter Law's (Faulkner Act) Mayor-Council form of government (Plan E), enacted based on the recommendations of a Charter Study Commission.[36] The governing body is comprised of the Mayor and the Township Council and provides for a "strong mayor", with a separately elected mayor and council.[37] [38] The township is one of 71 municipalities (of the 564) statewide that use this form of government.[39] The mayor, who is elected directly by the voters, is the Chief Executive Officer of the Township. The Mayor is responsible for carrying out all Council decisions and for the day-to-day operation of all functions of the municipality. The Township Council is comprised of seven members, who are elected on an at-large basis with staggered terms in elections held in odd-numbered years with either three seats or four seats coming up for vote; the mayor is up for election the same year that three council seats are up for vote. The Township Council is the legislative branch of the government and is responsible for approving the municipal budget and enacting ordinances. The council elects a Council President from among its members at an annual reorganization meeting. The Council President presides at all council meetings.[40]

, the Mayor of Mount Olive Township is Republican Robert Greenbaum, whose term of office ends December 31, 2023.[41] Members of the Township Council are Council President Joe Nicastro (R, 2023), Council Vice President Alex Roman (R, 2023), Charles Aaron Jr. (R, 2025; appointed to serve an unexpired term), John Ferrante (R, 2025), Colleen Labow (R, 2023), John Mania (R, 2025) and Gregory Stewart (R, 2025).[42] [43] [44] [45] [46] [47]

In January 2023, Chuck Aaron was sworn in to fill the seat expiring in December 2025 that became vacant following the death of Daniel Amianda the previous November. Aaron will serve on an interim basis until the November 2023 general election, when voters will select a candidate to fill the balance of the term of office.[48]

In July 2015, the Township Council selected Gregory Stewart from three candidates nominated by the Republican municipal committee to fill the seat expiring in December 2017 that had been held by Ray Perkins until his resignation from office to move out of the township, after having served 13 years in office; Stewart will serve on an interim basis until the November 2016 general election, when voters will choose a candidate to serve the one year remaining on the term of office.[49]

Serving a term ending December 2013, Patrick Walsh resigned from office in February 2013, citing internal conflicts in the township's Republican Party government.[50]
