Municipal Building in February 2009

Wood-Ridge is governed under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government. The government 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 Wood-Ridge, 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.[37][38]

As of 2016, the Mayor of Wood-Ridge is Democrat Paul Sarlo, whose term of office ends December 31, 2019; Sarlo also represents the district in the New Jersey Senate.[4] Members of the Borough Council are Council President Catherine Cassidy (D, 2016), Ezio I. Altamura (D, 2018), Dominick Azzolini (D, 2017), Joseph DiMarco (D, 2016), Edward Marino (D, 2018) and Phil Romero (D, 2017).[39][40][41][42][43][44]

In September 2012, the Borough Council selected Phil Romero from a list of three candidates offered by the Democratic Municipal Committee to fill the vacant seat of Cosimo "Tom" Gonnella, who had resigned from office to accept a position with Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission after serving 16 years in office, making him the longest-serving councilmeber in borough history.[45]
