Letter From Mayor Booker
Welcome to the revised City of Newark Web site! As we build a brand new, more effective and user-friendly site, we invite you to enjoy the refreshed look and feel of our current site. Take a look and you will find:
- Exciting new colors and graphics for better looking browsing
- Improved navigation
- New tools and features like the "Bill Pay" page
- A "Most Requested Links" section to prioritize the content residents need
These updates are the latest steps of an ongoing process to provide a Web site serving Newark residents better every day. Together we are setting the standard for urban transformation - both online and off.
Your Mayor,
Cory A. Booker
Municipal Council
Bottom row, left to right: Augusto Amador, Donald M. Payne, Jr., Anibal Ramos, Jr., Mildred C. Crump.
The Municipal Council exercises the legislative power of city government.
It enacts by ordinance, resolution, or motion the local laws which govern the people of our city, and is responsible for approval of the municipal budget, establishment of financial controls, and setting of salaries of elected officials and top appointed administrators. It may reduce or increase appropriations requested by the Mayor.
By these methods the Council decides "what" the city will do about any particular matter, and then the Mayor and cabinet members decide "how" to do it.
The Municipal Council also renders advice and consent on the Mayor's appointments and policy programs, and may investigate, when necessary, any branch of municipal government. The Council also authorizes a continuing audit by an outside firm, of all city financial transactions.
As established by ordinance, regular public meetings of the Municipal Council are held on the first Wednesday of each month at 12:30 p.m., and the third Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the Municipal Council Chamber in City Hall. Exceptions are made for national or religious holidays. During July and August only one meeting is held each month at 12:30pm.
A special meeting of the Municipal Council may be called by the President or a majority of its members or by the Mayor whenever an emergency requires immediate action.
