The Surf City Borough Council welcomed a new colleague to its ranks at its Nov. 13 meeting after John McMenamin previously tendered his resignation.

Lee Lieber, a retired police chief from Moorestown, was unanimously appointed to fill McMenamin’s unexpired term. McMenamin was first appointed to the council in 2021 to fill the seat vacated by former Councilman John Hadash’s resignation after selling his home and moving out of town.
