On Tuesday, the Dillsburg Borough Council hired a new borough manager. In a unanimous vote, the council approved the hiring of Laura Kauffman of Conewago Township as manager.
Currently, Kauffman is the sewer administrator in Newberry Township. She also serves the township as its zoning officer, open records officer, and as a notary.
She is a graduate of Red Land High School and has completed college courses.
“There is a positive vibe here,” Kauffman said of the Dillsburg area, citing the closeness of the community and the local events it organizes. She said she attended her first Farmers Fair when she was a student in high school.
The new manager said she is excited to meet the borough residents, and she would like to invite them to come to the borough building to talk.
Kauffman will take the helm in the borough office on March 1. She said she is looking forward to working with Borough Secretary Debbie Beitzel.
“She has an abundance of experience, and I am looking forward to working with her and tapping onto her knowledge,” she said.
Kauffman said she had interviewed for the manager position in the late summer of 2022. However, the council selected another individual to fill the position of long-term manager Karen Deibler, who retired at the end of that year.
In the fall of 2022, the council hired Joshua Logan as the borough manager. He served approximately one month and submitted his resignation on January 11. His last day as manager was January 24.
