dbo:abstract
  • Un pueblo en el contexto del gobierno local en el estado estadounidense de Nueva Jersey se refiere a uno de los cinco tipos y uno de once formas de gobierno municipal. Aunque un pueblo es a menudo llamado de forma corta como municipio, siendo ambas la misma forma de gobierno. La Ley Municipal de 1895 (Town Act of 1895) permite a cualquier municipalidad o área con una población que excede los 5,000 habitantes convertirse en un pueblo mediante un proceso de petición o referéndum. En virtud de la ley de 1895, un recién e incorporado pueblo era dividido anteriormente en 3 distritos (wards), con dos concejales por pedanía con un término de dos años, y un concejal at large, también por dos años. El concejal at large tiene el puesto como el presidente del consejo municipal.​ La Ley Municipal de 1988 (Town Act of 1988) en la que se modificó totalmente la ley antigua y en la que se aplicó a todos los pueblos incorporados bajo la Ley Municipal de 1875, el alcalde también es el concejal at large, sirviendo por un término de dos años, al menos que se alargue a tres años ya sea por una petición o referéndum. El concejal bajo la Ley Municipal de 1988 consiste en ocho miembros en un término de dos años en la cual dos son elegidos de cada uno de los distritos. Un concejal de los cuatro distritos puede ir a las elecciones cada año. Los pueblos con leyes distintas antes de la Ley Municipal de 1988 pueden tener las antiguas al menos que sean cambiados por petición o por un referéndum.​ Otros cambios se hicieron en 1991 con respecto a los gobiernos municipales de los pueblos, donde los votantes votaron para que los alcaldes y concejales puedan tener el cargo por cuatro años​ 15 municipalidades de Nueva Jersey tienen cierto tipo de pueblo (town), nueve de la cual tienen la siguiente forma de gobierno: (es)
  • A Town in the context of New Jersey local government refers to one of five types and one of eleven forms of municipal government. While "Town" is often used as a shorthand to refer to a Township, the two are not the same. The Town Act of 1895 allowed any municipality or area with a population exceeding 5,000 to become a Town" through a petition and referendum process. Under the 1895 Act, a newly incorporated town was divided into at least three wards, with two councilmen per ward serving staggered two-year terms, and one councilman at large, who also served a two-year term. The councilman at large served as chairman of the town council. The Town Act of 1988 completely revised the Town form of government and applied to all towns incorporated under the Town Act of 1895 and to those incorporated by a special charter granted by the Legislature prior to 1875. Under the 1988 Act, the mayor is also the councilman at large, serving a term of two years, unless increased to three years by a petition and referendum process. The Council under the Town Act of 1988 consists of eight members serving staggered two-year terms with two elected from each of four wards. One councilman from each ward is up for election each year. Towns with different structures predating the 1988 Act may retain those features unless changed by a petition and referendum process. Two new provisions were added in 1991 to the statutes governing towns, First, a petition and referendum process was created whereby the voters can require that the mayor and town council be elected to four-year terms of office. The second new provision defines the election procedure in towns with wards. The mayor in a town chairs the town council and heads the municipal government. The mayor may both vote on legislation before council and veto ordinances. A veto may be overridden by a vote of two-thirds of all the members of the council. The council may enact an ordinance to delegate all or a portion of the executive responsibilities of the town to a municipal administrator. Fifteen New Jersey municipalities currently have a type of Town, eight of which operate under the town form of government: (en)
