Governing Body – Mayor & Council
The Borough of Keyport was established pursuant to New Jersey law, “An Act to incorporate the borough of Keyport, in the county of Monmouth,” P.L.1908, c.71, enacted April 2, 1908. The law provides that the Borough of Keyport “shall be governed by the general laws of this State relating to boroughs.”
New Jersey laws regulating the borough form of municipal government are codified in the New Jersey Statutes (N.J.S.A. 40A:60-1 et seq.) and provide for a governing body that includes a Mayor and a six (6) member Borough Council. The Mayor is elected at large (by all voters in the Borough) for a term of four (4) years. Members of the Borough Council are elected at large to staggered three (3) year terms, arranged so the terms of two (2) members expire at the end of each calendar year.
Local laws are adopted as Ordinances by the Borough Council and approved by the Mayor. Adopted ordinances are codified in Borough Code, organized by subject.
