Government[]

Local government[]

Prospect Park is governed under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government, which is used in 218 municipalities (of the 565) statewide, making it the most common form of government in New Jersey.[40] 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 is comprised 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.[6] The Borough form of government used by Prospect Park 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.[41][42]

As of 2020, the Mayor of Prospect Park is Democrat Mohamed Khairullah, whose term of office ends December 31, 2022. Khairullah was appointed to the office in 2006 after his predecessor Will Kubofcik vacated it to move out of the borough; he has since been elected to three full terms. Members of the Borough Council are Council President Anand Shah (D, 2022), Robert Artis (D, 2020), Alaa Matari (D, 2021), Felicia Ortiz (D, 2020), Esther Perez (D, 2021) and Adnan Zakaria (D, 2022).[3][43][44][45][46][47]

Samir Hayek resigned from office in July 2017, citing personal reason for leaving the seat expiring in December 2018.[48]

In September 2016, Esther Perez, who had previously served 12 years on the borough council, was selected to fill the seat expiring in December 2018 that had been held by Richard Esquiche until he resigned from office the previous month.[49] Perez was elected in November 2016 to serve the balance of the term of office.[50]
