Who will be on Council?
Teaneck’s municipal government operated under the Council-Manager form of the Faulkner Act.
We (residents) elect seven members to a council and they choose a manager who is tasked with the day-to-day operation of the Municipality.
Since 1988, Teaneck residents go to the polls in staggered council elections in even numbered years to choose members who serve 4-year terms.
This week, 3 of the 7 council seats were up, and in two years, the remaining 4 will be voted on by residents.
After each election, the newly constituted group will meet on July 1st at a “Re-Organization Meeting” to determine a Mayor and other positions.
Each of the 7 members of council represent everyone in the municipality.
[As one of your representatives, I will do my best to respond with information to any inquiries received]
