The Asbury Park City Council has appointed Donna M. Vieiro to the position of interim city manager. She replaces City Manager Michael Capabianco who resigned earlier this month.
The appointment is effective Dec. 1.
Vieiro, who is a city resident, previously served as the township administrator in Holmdel Township and the Municipal Manager in Franklin Township (Somerset). She holds a Master’s Degree in Public Administration from Rutgers University and brings over 20 years of municipal government/ management experience to Asbury Park.
She is a former President of the New Jersey Municipal Management Association, and was previously honored as “Manager of the Year” in 2018.
City officials have become familiar with Vieiro through her work and involvement on the City’s Budget Committee and in providing management assistance to the city for several projects earlier this year.
The mayor and City Council said they look forward to working with Vieiro to facilitate moving the governing body’s important policy initiatives forward. They said they believe she will be a great asset to the city through the transition to a new permanent city manager.
