The Sheriff is elected to a three-year term and the Surrogate Judge and County Clerk are each elected to five-year terms. The County Prosecutor is appointed by the Governor for a five-year term. SURROGATE JUDGE Michael R. Dressler ACTING PROSECUTOR Dennis Calo COUNTY CLERK SHERIFF John S. Hogan Michael Saudino 10 BERGEN COUNTY HISTORY First designated as a judicial district in 1675, Bergen County was established (alongside Essex, Middlesex, and Monmouth) as one of four original New Jersey counties by an act of the Provincial Assembly in 1683. At that time, Bergen County’s borders extended into what are now Passaic and Hudson Counties. Today, Bergen County is a 233-square- mile parcel of land in the northeast corner of the state, with a population of 945,487 people. Hackensack, which takes its name from a Lenni Lenape word believed to mean "stony ground," was designated as the County Seat in 1710. The oldest records of county governance are May 19, 1715, and describe a meeting of the Bergen County Board of Freeholders and Justices that resulted in the decision to construct a building housing both the County Court House and County Jail, which would rise on Hackensack’s Historic Green the following year. Bergen County observed the 300th anniversary of its founding on March 7, 1983. In 1984, the county voters elected members of the Bergen County Charter Study Commission, which was tasked with evaluating the county’s nine member Freeholder form of government. The commission recommended that voters approve a change to the county charter to establish a County Executive-led form of government while reducing the number of Freeholders to seven. In 1985, voters approved the commission’s recommended changes to the County Charter and established the position of County Executive. The first Bergen County Executive was elected to a four-year term in November 1986. The seven members of the Board of Chosen Freeholders are elected at-large for staggered three-year terms. Excluding special elections or appointments to unexpired terms, all county officials take office January 1 in the year following their elections. BERGEN COUNTY GOVERNMENT Bergen County Government is led by the County Executive, Board of Chosen Free- holders and four Constitutional Officers. There are eight departments under the executive branch of government serving the people of Bergen County. The County Executive leads and supervises the operation of county government, including appointing department heads. In collaboration with the Board of Chosen Freehold- ers, the County Executive establishes the policy agenda for county departments, divisions and agencies. Bergen County Executive James J. Tedesco, III has been serving his first term as Bergen County Executive since January 1, 2015. As County Executive, Tedesco has focused on improving services to county residents while also creating greater efficiency and effectiveness throughout county government. Top accomplish- ments in his first term have included: realigning the County Police as a unit within the County Sheriff’s Office, creating responsible oversight and a secure future for the county’s hospital, New Bridge Medical Center (New Jersey’s largest hospital and the fourth largest publicly-owned hospital in the nation), increasing services and support for U.S. military veterans and their families, identifying opportunities to share services with and between Bergen County municipalities, and preserving and enhancing the nearly 10,000 acres of open space and recreational facilities within our Bergen County Parks System. Under Tedesco’s leadership, Bergen County has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as the first county in New Jersey to end homelessness among veterans. HUD has also recognized Bergen County as the first com- munity in the nation to eliminate chronic homelessness. Tedesco is a major advocate for the Stigma-Free Initiative, which works to eliminate the stigma associated with mental illness and encourage mental health treatment without judgment. 11 The Board of Chosen Freeholders acts as a legislative body giving advice and consent to the actions of the County Executive. The current members of the Board of Chosen Freeholders are Chairman Thomas J. Sullivan, Vice Chairwoman Germaine M. Ortiz, Chair Pro Tempore Mary J. Amoroso, David L. Ganz, Steven A. Tanelli, Dr. Joan M. Voss, and Tracy Silna Zur. The Constitutional

    “ Here come the IRISH“ NEW JERSEY’S LEADERS 2019 MAKE OUR STATE A BETTER PLACE! HERE COME THE IR ISH ! New Jersey’s Leaders 2019 St. Patrick’s Day is once again upon us with its month long festivities. To help celebrate the occasion, InsiderNJ.com presents its annual and profiled list of New Jersey’s Irish American leaders and activists as a salute to the holiday and as a harbinger of long awaited springtime. The annual tribute to the ‘Irish High Holy Days’ is an acknowledgement of accomplishments, numerous contributions and community service. Once again, the list includes both veterans of previous compilations and quite a few newcomers, as well. Collectively, they have all demonstrated a commitment to their Irish American heritage. The updated list is compiled to commemorate the 84th Anniversary of the Newark St. Patrick’s Day Parade, the oldest Irish American march in New Jersey (1936-present), interrupted only by WWII (1943-46). This year’s Irish march in downtown Newark is scheduled for Friday, March 15 at 1:00pm. Grand Marshal Sean O’Neill and Deputy Grand Marshal Kathleen M. Conlon have been elected by delegates to lead the parade. The 2019 Newark Parade is dedicated to Thomas J. Gartland (1939-2018) Tom Barrett, compiler of the list, credits the Newark parade for its sense of tradition and staying power. His father, Thomas P. J. Barrett, a journalist and World War II veteran, was a three-time parade chairman. The list is purely subjective. WE HOPE YOU ENJOY IT! WILLIAM (BILL) BARONI JOSEPH P. BRENNAN, ESQ.

Message from the Editor 2018 LGBT POWER Welcome to InsiderNJ’s OUT 100 Power List, a first-of-its kind-tribute to influential LGBTs in New Jersey politics. This list was a reader’s idea. My editor Max Pizarro and my General Manager Pete Oneglia green-lighted the idea so long as I promised to make it amazing. These Power Lists mean a lot to people. Making it amazing seems like the least I could do given this opportunity. P.O. Box 66 Verona, NJ 07044 [email protected] www.InsiderNJ.com WE’VE COME A LONG WAY, HAVEN’T WE? When I acquired HIV as a teenager back in 1992, you’d be hard pressed to name a single politically influential LGBT person anywhere in America, let alone 100 from a single state! Nobody was talking about gay marriage. There were no workplace protections back then, no gays in the military. What Max Pizarro we did have was a hostile government and an equally hostile Catholic Church driving our nation’s Editor-in-Chief AIDS policy. Which might explain why the life-saving AIDS “cocktail” was still years away, something [email protected] I blessedly wouldn’t need until 1998. Many listed below played a huge role taming the AIDS crisis and then delivering a raft of pro-LGBT laws in its wake. This list also includes the next generation of LGBTs already making their mark on the New Jersey political landscape. They’ve snatched the baton in a purposeful manner befitting a generation raised to dream bigger than mine ever could.
