About the Rutherford Mayor's Office
Welcome to the Rutherford Mayor's Office, the heart of local governance in Rutherford, New Jersey. Situated at 176 Park Avenue, our office serves as the hub for municipal operations and community engagement within the Borough of Rutherford. Established in 1881, Rutherford operates under the Borough form of government, a common structure in New Jersey that features a seven-member governing body. Our mayor is elected every four years, while two council members are elected at large each year for three-year terms.
The council serves as the legislative body, with the mayor participating in votes only to break ties. The mayor, with the council's advice and consent, makes most appointments, ensuring a collaborative approach to governance. Annually, the mayor assigns council members to various committees, allowing them to act as liaisons between Borough departments and the governing body.
Regular meetings of the Mayor and Council are held on the second and fourth Monday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the Borough Hall. These meetings are open to the public, fostering transparency and community involvement, except when confidentiality necessitates closed sessions as permitted by state law.
Rutherford's local government thrives on the contributions of numerous committees and volunteers who work tirelessly to enhance the quality of life in our community. In addition to statutory bodies like the planning board and zoning board of adjustment, these committees provide crucial recommendations to the governing body.
We invite all residents to engage with and participate in our local government, helping us build a vibrant and inclusive community. Join us in our commitment to serving Rutherford and making it a better place for everyone.
