Government

Local government

Fairview 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.[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 is comprised of 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.[3] The Borough form of government used by Fairview 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 2022^[update], the Mayor of Fairview is Democrat Vincent A. Bellucci Jr., whose term of office ends December 31, 2023.

Russo (D, 2024).[4][45][46][47][48][49]

In May 2017, the Borough Council selected Violetta Berisha to fill the seat expiring December 2019 that became vacant following the resignation of John Rossi.[50] Berisha served on an interim basis until the November 2017 general election, when she was elected to serve the balance of the term of office.[51]

Russell Martin was named in January 2012 to fill the council vacancy of the seat that had been held by John Pierotti following his death, and won the remainder of the term the 2012 General Election, running unopposed for the seat.[52][53]
