After several months of deliberation, the Bath Township Trustees have chosen Vito Sinopoli as the new township administrator. Sinopoli must sign a final employment agreement.

Sinopoli will replace administrator Bill Snow.

Snow announced he would retire in June to protect his pension from changes at the state level. Snow was then rehired in August as interim township administrator to help train whoever trustees picked as the new administrator.

Sinopoli grew up in Bath Township and has spent the past 27 years serving as a township police officer.
