Council President Won't Lead Hatboro Board In 2026

HATBORO, PA — Hatboro Borough Council President George Bollendorf had just won re-election to another term. But he won't be leading the council as he has for several years.

At its final meeting of the year on Monday night, Bollendorf announced that he was stepping down as council president.

Bollendorf joined the Borough Council after being elected in 2018. He will begin his third term starting on Jan. 1.

During his first two terms, George was nominated for and elected to the position of Council President by fellow members of Council due to his strong leadership and passion for our community.

During his tenure as council president, Bollendorf has presided over almost every council meeting, only missing two meetings in the past eight years.

Bollendorf also worked with every council committee to ensure they received the support and guidance. He also created the Pennypack Events Committee and worked to spearhead events such as the Sip N Shops, Parties in the Park, Fireworks, and the upcoming Hat Drop.

Bollendorf will remain a councilman and will continue to serve the community daily.

Borough officials said the reason is because of Bollendorf's job is taking more time where he cannot commit time any longer to being president.

"Please join Council, Mayor Schultz, and the Borough staff in thanking George for his leadership and all that he has done for the Borough in the last eight years as council president," officials said.
