Government

[edit]

Local government

[edit]

Dumont is governed under the borough form of New Jersey municipal government, which is used in 218 (of the 564) municipalities statewide, making it the most common form of government in New Jersey.[42] 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 Dumont 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.[43][44]

As of 2024, the mayor of the Borough of Dumont is Republican John W. Russell III, whose term of office ends December 31, 2027. Members of the Dumont Borough Council are Doreen Aponte (R, 2025), Tom Kelly (R, 2024), Christopher Kourelakos (R, 2026), Daniel L. Labarbera (R, 2026), Donald Morrell (R, 2025) and Carole Stewart (R, 2024; appointed to serve an unexpired term).[3][45][46][47][48][49]

In January 2020, the borough council appointed Carl Manna to fill the seat expiring in December 2020 that was vacated by Andrew LaBruno when he took office as mayor.[50]

In March 2018, the borough council appointed Lisa Rossillo to fill the seat expiring in December 2019 that was vacated by Barbara Correa following her resignation. Rossillo served on an interim basis until the November 2018 general election, when she won election to serve the balance of the term of office.[51][52]

In February 2017, the borough council selected Jared Geist from a list of three candidates nominated by the Republican municipal committee to fill the seat expiring in December 2017 that had been vacated by Matthew Hayes, who resigned from office the previous month, due to illness.[53]

In May 2014, Carl Manna was selected by the borough council to fill the seat expiring in December 2016 that had been held by Matthew M. Carrick until he resigned from office a month earlier.[54]
