St. John holds public hearing on bond proceeds for Heartland Park; no public comment recorded
Summary
The council opened a public hearing June 11 on additional appropriation of lease-rental revenue bond proceeds for the Heartland Park project, heard staff clarifications and closed the hearing with no public comments; the transcript does not record a separate appropriation vote.
The Town Council of St. John on June 11 opened a public hearing on an additional appropriation of lease-rental revenue bond proceeds intended for the Heartland Park project, heard staff remarks and closed the hearing with no members of the public speaking.
Town Attorney Joe Svetanoff confirmed that proofs of publication had been supplied and were legally sufficient to proceed. Town Manager Billy told the council the appropriation was “for the additional appropriations of the bond proceeds, to be placed in there at per the State Board of Accounts guideline.” Staff member Tom clarified that the hearing related to appropriating bond proceeds the town received and that the funds would be applied to the Heartland Park project.
The council opened the floor for public comment and recorded none; a motion to close the public hearing carried 5-0 on a roll call. The meeting transcript does not show a separate recorded vote on the appropriation itself during the same meeting record.
Because the council heard the required publication confirmation and staff explanation and there were no public speakers, the hearing record is closed; any formal appropriation or ordinance implementing the appropriation is not recorded in the provided transcript.
