The Borough of Westmont is governed by the “Weak Mayor-Council” form of government. There are seven council members and a mayor who are elected by the voters for four-year terms. The mayor attends and participates in all meetings, but votes only in the event of a tie. Council members are vested with the executive and legislative powers of the Borough –– they determine municipal policy, enact laws, approve budgets, establish tax rates, appoint Borough officials, etc.
From time to time vacancies occur on various Boards and Commissions. These positions are filled by adult residents of the community and are appointed by Westmont Borough Council. If you are interested in volunteering your time and expertise, please send a resume to the Westmont Borough Office and your name will be placed in a Registry for consideration for future openings.
