Saint John Redevelopment Commission adopts 2026 spending plan, approves meeting minutes

The presiding officer of the Town of Saint John Redevelopment Commission called the Jan. 28, 2026, meeting to order and conducted roll call before the commission approved a spending plan for calendar year 2026 and accepted minutes from Dec. 29, 2025.

Commissioners recorded attendance during roll call; Gerald Sweats was noted as absent. The clerk treasurer, Beth, attended remotely, and Katie Golley was recorded present. The presiding officer opened the public comment period and said no members of the public had signed up to speak.

The commission then took routine business. A motion to approve the Dec. 29, 2025, meeting minutes was made and seconded; the presiding officer announced, "Motion carries 4 to 0."

The commission moved to ordinances and resolutions. The presiding officer introduced Resolution 2026-01-28, described in the meeting transcript as a resolution of the Town of Saint John, Lake County, Indiana, adopting a spending plan for calendar year 2026. Following a second, the presiding officer again announced, "Motion carries 4 to 0," indicating the resolution passed unanimously among those voting.

When asked for reports and correspondence, the town manager, Billy, said he had nothing to report. The presiding officer closed the meeting after a motion to adjourn was made and seconded.

No detailed spending breakdown, line items, or funding sources for the 2026 plan were provided in the transcript; the record only shows the resolution’s introduction, motion, second and the 4-0 vote. Future agendas or meeting packets would need to be consulted for the spending plan’s specifics.
