Yardley Names New Borough Council Vice President

YARDLEY, PA —Caroline Thompson is back as Yardley Borough Council president. But Kim Segal-Morris is out as vice president.

In a 4-3 vote at Tuesday night's reorganization meeting, Morris will not hold the appointment as she had in 2023.

Morris received votes from Thompson and Michelle Sharer along with voting for herself.

Councilman Uri Feiner —who was reappointed last year and had served several stints on the council —was named as vice president.

Feiner received nominations from Councilmen Don Carlson, David Appelbaum, and newcomer Jared Stump along with voting for himself.

It was a busy night for the council as Mayor Chris Harding had to swear in all seven members. It was the first time in borough history that all seven seats had been up for election at the same time, this one being the Nov. 7 general election.

Harding also swore in tax collector Christine Ventresca.

For Carlson, Appelbaum, and Sharer, it was the first time being elected. All three were appointed to fill council vacancies.

Feiner served on the council from 2014 to 2017. He was appointed to fill the vacancy of Councilman Matt Ross, who resigned at the end of 2022. Ross moved to neighboring Lower Makefield Township, where he was elected as a township supervisor and sworn in as well on Tuesday.

"Best wishes to the leaders of our great town," borough officials said. "This group has hit the ground running. Great things are coming our way."
