CAPE MAY – Cape May City Council Nov. 15 appointed Corinthian Yacht Club Finance Chair Michael Yeager to the seat vacated by the resignation of Christopher Bezaire.
Yeager holds an MBA from the Fox School at Temple University and is also a member of the Municipal Taxation and Revenue Advisory Committee.
Bezaire resigned his seat under public pressure following his guilty plea on two fourth-degree indictable offenses. Yeager’s appointment to the council is for the period until the November 2022 elections when anyone wishing to fill the seat for the remainder of Bezaire’s term will have to seek support from voters.
Yeager was not present at the Nov. 15 meeting and will be sworn in as soon as he returns from vacation.
