Folsom was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on May 23, 1906, from portions of Buena Vista Township.[22] The borough was named for Frances Folsom, wife of President Grover Cleveland.[23]

Government

[edit]

Local government

[edit]

Folsom 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.[39] The governing body is comprised of the mayor and the borough council, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. The 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.[6] The borough form of government used by Folsom 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.[40][41]

As of 2024, the mayor of Folsom is Republican Glenn Smith, whose term of office ends December 31, 2025. Members of the Borough Council are Council President Gregory Conway (R, 2024), Jacob Blazer (R, 2023), James Hoffman (R, 2025), Albert W. Norman Jr. (R, 2024), Michael Porretta (R, 2025) and James C. Whittaker Jr. (R, 2023).[3][42][43][44][45][46][47]

In January 2020, the borough council appointed Jake Blazer to fill the balance of the term expiring in December 2021 that had been held by Greg Schenker until he resigned from office.[48]

In September 2016, the borough council selected Lisa O'Toole from a list of three candidates nominated by the Republican municipal committee to fill the seat expiring in December 2018 that had been vacated by Bryan Gummoe, who resigned the previous month.[49] In the November 2016 general election, Independent Greg Schenker defeated O'Toole to win the balance of the term of office.[50]

The borough council selected Louis DeStefano in August 2014 from among three names offered by the Republican municipal committee to fill the vacant seat of Mayor Thomas N. Ballistreri, who had resigned earlier that month.[51] In September 2014, Bennett Pagano was selected by the borough council from among the three candidates recommended by the local Republican Committee to fill Louis DeStefano's vacant council seat.[52] Pagano was elected in November 2014 to serve the balance of the term.[53]
