Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
The extent of
Bibro fever seems to be something of a first in the township – Hatfield Township Commissioners and residents fought for, and were ultimately successful in, keeping Bibro in his post.
At nine years, Bibro currently is the longest-serving municipal manager in the North Penn community.
According to the report, neither Bibro nor Hatfield Township Commissioners specified new contract terms. However, Bibro is in a position to hire an assistant manager and make staff changes, per the article.
Commissioners President Tom Zipfel, who said he recruited Bibro for the job, is quoted in the article: "There was no chance we were going to let Aaron leave without making every possible attempt to convince him to stay in Hatfield. … We were able to convince him to stay for hopefully another nine years.”
Zipfel continued, "When the news spread that he was resigning from his position, we heard from dozens of residents and business owners who enjoyed a working relationship with the township because of Aaron, and they all encouraged us to keep him here.”
Bibro said he discussed the deal with his family and commissioners and discovered public service is above private business. "I’m a public servant. And the only community that I want to serve is Hatfield,”
Bibro said in the article.
Bibro’s achievements include boosting Hatfield Township’s social media presence,
completing the Cowpath/Orvilla realignment, remedying traffic issues with neighboring Towamencin Township, and jointly managing Schweiker Park with the adjacent Lansdale Borough.
