History

What is now Robbinsville Township was originally incorporated as Washington Township (named for George Washington [28] ) by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 15, 1859, from portions of East Windsor. [29]

On November 6, 2007, voters approved by a vote of 1,816 to 693 [30] a measure that changed the township's name from Washington Township (the name of five other municipalities in New Jersey) to Robbinsville, named after a settlement within the township. The official changeover took place January 1, 2008, as signs and other items with "Washington" on them began to be changed. [31] It is named for George R. Robbins, who served in the United States House of Representatives from 1855 to 1859 and lived in the area. [28]

Robbinsville Township Municipal Building

In November 2004, township residents voted to change their form of government from a Township Committee to a Mayor-Council form under the Faulkner Act. The new form of government took effect as of July 1, 2005. [4] [42] [5] The Mayor-Council form of government is used by 71 of the state's 564 municipalities. [43] In this form, the governing body is comprised of the Mayor and the Township Council, each functioning as an independent branch of government, with all members elected at-large to four-year terms of office on a non-partisan basis as part of the November general election. The Mayor is the Chief Executive of the Township and heads its Administration. The Mayor may attend Council meetings but is not obliged to do so. [5] The Council is the legislative branch. Elections are held in odd-numbered years with three council seats up together and the two other seats (and the mayoral seat) up for election two years later. At the annual organizational meeting held during the first week of January of each year, the Council selects a President and Vice President to serve for one-year terms. The Council President chairs the meetings of the governing body. [44] Following an ordinance passed in December 2011, municipal elections were shifted from May to November, with the terms of all township council members then serving extend by six months, to December 31. [45]

As of 2022, the Mayor of Robbinsville Township is David Fried, whose term of office ends December 31, 2025. [6] Members of the Township Council are Council President Michael Cipriano (2025), Vice President Deborah Blakely (2025), Christine "Chris" Ciaccio (2023), Michael Todd (2023; elected to serve an unexpired term) and Ronald C. Witt Jr. (2023). [5] [46] [47] [48] [49]

In January 2021, Deborah Blakely was appointed to fill the term expiring in December 2023 that had become vacant following the resignation of Dan Schuberth. Blakely served on an interim basis until the November 2021 election. [50] In the November 2021 general election, Michael Todd was elected to serve the balance of Schuberth's term of office, while Deborah Blakely ran for and won a full four-year term. [51]

Todd is expected to be sworn-in to fill the remainder Schuberth's term at the council meeting on Nov. 18. Since Blakely was appointed to replace Schuberth in January 2021, she will cede that council position to Todd before being officially being sworn-in at the township's annual reorganization meeting in January. Schuberth's seat was required to be on this year's ballot. Blakely opted to run for one of the four-year terms rather than the two-year unexpired term."
