Mayor Jay Kovalcik was appointed to serve on the Rochelle Park Township Committee after a favorable vote from the County Committee and a unanimous vote from the four remaining members of the Township Committee to fill a vacancy left by the untimely passing of his father, Kenneth Kovalcik, the Deputy Mayor in 2006/2007. Jay has intentions of actively staying involved for years to come and is currently serving on the committee through 2013.

I am a 38+ year resident, born and raised in Rochelle Park, which gives me the insight and motivation to enhance the "small town" environment which I have come to love and cherish over the years. I have been an active member of the community dedicating my time to the United Republican Club of Rochelle Park for 10+ years and holding the office of Treasurer. I have also previously served on the R.P. Planning Board as an active member.
 
I have owned a home on Bennett Avenue since 2000 and I am the proud father of two sons, Konnor and Christian.
 
Locally, Committeeman Kovalcik serves as the Township Committee liaison to the: Welcoming Committee, Board of Health, Welfare Department, Ambulance Corp. and the "Kenneth J. Kovalcik" Oldies Summerfest Concert held in August each year.
