Township Council
Left to Right: Lawrence Maron, Ann Mary O'Rourke, Gerard Porter, Joe Schweighardt, Al Sadowski, Chris F. McIntyre, Joseph Scuralli, Nadine Bello, and seated is Council President Alan Purcell.

On January 1, 1962, Wayne Township adopted the Mayor-Council Plan F of the Optional Municipal Charter Revision Law of New Jersey. A Mayor is elected by the voters at partisan elections to serve a four year term. A nine-member council forms the legislative branch of the township government. Three council members are elected at large and one from each of six wards for a term of four years.

The Mayor, with consent of the council, appoints a Business Administrator to head the Department of Administration, the only department specifically required under this form of government. The Mayor-Council Plan F form of government does, however, allow for an additional nine departments, which the township has.
