Government
Local government
Ocean Gate 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 Ocean Gate, 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.[32][33]
As of 2016, the Mayor of Ocean Gate is Republican Paul J. Kennedy, whose term of office ends December 31, 2018. Members of the Borough Council are Bruce R. Cox (R, 2018), Mark Haug (R, 2017), David Kendrick (R, 2018), Alex Martinez (R, 2017), Joella Nicastro (R, 2016) and John Serpica (R, 2016).[4][34][35][36][37][38][39]
Democrats Rose Kindon and Chris Theodos replaced Frank Santarpia and James McGrath, who resigned in February 2014 in protest over an increase in the Mayor's compensation to $50,000.[40] The Mayor was later cited and fined for ethics violation by the NJ State Local Finance Board for illegally accepting pay as a municipal employee while he was serving as mayor.[41]
