Government
Local government
Andover is governed under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government. The governing body consists of a Mayor and a Borough Council comprising six council members, 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 consists 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 Andover, the most common system used in the state, 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.[29][30]
As of 2016, the Mayor of Andover Borough is Republican John A. Morgan, whose term of office ends December 31, 2019. Members of the Borough Council are Council President Michael Figueiredo (D, 2016; elected to serve an unexpired term), Lynn T. Delfing (R, 2017), Melvin Dennison (R, 2018), John Hoag (R, 2017; appointed to serve an unexpired term until November 2016 election), Peter Pearson (D, 2016) and Robert L. Smith (R, 2018).[4][31][32][33][34]
In February 2016, the Borough Council chose John Hoag from three candidates proposed by the Republican municipal committee to fill the seat that had been held Eskil S. Danielson that will expire in December 2017; Hoag will serve on an interim basis until the November 2016 general election, when voters will choose someone to serve the balance of the term.[35]
In February 2015, the Borough Council selected Michael Figueiredo from a list of three candidates nominated by the Democratic municipal committee to fill the seat expiring in December 2016 that became vacant when Deborah McGowan resigned from office.[36] Figueiredo served on an interim basis until the November 2015 general election, when he was elected to serve the one year remaining on the term of office.[32]
