The St John Town Redevelopment Commission elected Michael Bovat president and Christian Jorgensen vice president for 2026 and approved a professional services agreement naming Baker Tilly as the town’s financial adviser for 2026, with recorded votes of 4 to 0 on each item.
The meeting opened with roll call; Wayne Pandinis was noted absent. The chair said the commission needed to hold elections for the coming year "so we don't have it on the agenda, but we need to do the election of officers for the RDC for the year 2026," and a member nominated the current president and vice president by name. A motion to appoint Michael Bovat as president and Christian Jorgensen as vice president was made, seconded and approved. The chair announced, "Motion carries 4 to 0."
The commission then considered routine business. Members moved to approve the Redevelopment Commission meeting minutes from Dec. 10, 2025; that motion was seconded and approved with a recorded outcome of 4 to 0. The commission next approved a professional services agreement naming Baker Tilly as the town’s financial advisor for 2026; the motion was made, seconded and carried 4 to 0. No dollar amounts or contract lengths were specified in the discussion.
When asked for reports or correspondence, members indicated there were none. A motion to adjourn was made and seconded; members were called to vote and the meeting proceeded to adjournment.
The meeting's actions were procedural: electing officers, approving minutes and retaining a financial adviser. No public commenters spoke during the public-comment period, and no additional policy decisions or contract details were discussed on the record.
