2010 Council to increase from 3 to 5 members

At the 2008 General Election the voters of Medford Lakes approved a ballot question to increase the number of Council persons from 3 to 5. Pursuant to the statute this increase shall take effect at the next regular municipal election which will be held on May 11, 2010. This election will be to fill two existing council seats and two new council seats. In previous years the Borough voters had adopted a referendum calling for council to have staggered terms. At the 2010 election, two of the council seats will be for two year terms and two will be for four year terms. The Borough Clerk will work with the Borough Solicitor and the County Clerk on how the staggered council positions will be decided. Should you have any questions please call the Clerk at 654-8898.
