Jack Brommer [Columbia Spy file photo] Jack Brommer, who has spent nearly three decades serving Columbia Borough in various roles, has submitted his resignation as borough manager, effective November 13, 2026, according to a letter posted on The Columbia Chronicle . So far, the reason for his resignation has not been made public. Council will likely vote on the issue at its next meeting on September 22, 2026. Resignation letter In September 2025, as part of a planned succession, Brommer took on the role of interim borough manager while continuing to serve as police chief — a dual role he maintained through April 2026. During that transitional period, he earned a $118,000 police chief salary plus a $2,000 monthly stipend for his added manager duties, with guidance from part-time assistant borough manager Ron Youtz helping smooth the handoff. On May 1, 2026, Brommer made the transition official: he retired from the police force after 29 years of service and stepped into the role of full-...
