Hawthorne Municipal Complex

The Borough of Hawthorne is governed under the Faulkner Act, formally known as the Optional Municipal Charter Law, within the Mayor-Council system of municipal government.<ref name=DataBook>2012 New Jersey Legislative District Data Book, Rutgers University Edward J.

Accessed June 1, 2023.</ref> The governing body is comprised of the mayor and the seven-member borough council. A Charter Study Commission, formed in the 1980s after two major commercial businesses left the borough, led to a recommendation for the adoption of a mayor–council form in which there are four wards to give residents a representative in each area of the community, in addition to a mayor and two at-large members of the borough council, all of whom are directly elected by residents, with all members of the governing body serving four-year terms of office. After residents approved the commission's recommendations, the first election under the mayor–council form was held in 1989. The four ward seats are up for vote together and the three at-large seats and the mayoral position up for vote together two years later. All elections are held on a partisan basis as part of the November general election.<ref>Form of Government, Borough of Hawthorne. Accessed July 13, 2022.

Under this form of government, similar in concept to our federal government, the Mayor and the Council are two separate but co-equal power centers....
