Wierman Is New Avalon Council President

Posted July 25th 2022

Sam Wierman was named president and Jamie McDermott vice president when the Avalon Borough Council held its annual reorganization meeting on July 1.

New committee assignments were also approved. McDermott now serves on the Environmental Commission, and Mari Coskey took a position on the Insurance Committee previously held by Barbara Juzaitis.

“We have outstanding leadership on Borough Council with Sam and Jamie,” said Mayor Martin Pagliughi. “It’s great to see young leadership from individuals like Sam and Mari Coskey serving on Council, and we look forward to innovating projects led by Council over the coming months.”
Along with Wierman, McDermott, Coskey and Juzaitis, John McCorristin completes the Council lineup.

“I am excited for the opportunity to be Council President and I am proud to continue to represent Avalon,” Wierman said. “I have lived on the island my whole life, and am now raising my family here. It’s such a great place to live because of all the work that goes on behind the scenes, and I look forward to being a part of it.”
