Summary
At a special meeting the council reappointed members to the Building Corporation, Contractor Board, Economic Development Committee, Impact Fee Advisory Committee, Police Commission, Redevelopment Commission, Fire and Merit Board, South Shore CVA and Tree Board; most votes were unanimous but the sanitary‑district nomination passed 3–2.
The Town of St John council completed a sequence of board and commission appointments during its special meeting. Several reappointments carried unanimously or by large margins, while one sanitary‑district nomination passed by a narrower margin.
Building Corporation: The council reappointed Kathy Galicki, Rob Kametz and Steven Tyler; the motion carried 4–1 on roll call.
Contractor Board: Frank Lindenbarger, David Grudias, Jason Blassick and John Gill were reappointed; the council recorded a unanimous vote (motion carries 5–0).
Economic Development Committee: Amy Schulz and Chuck Bullock were reappointed (motion carries 5–0).
Impact Fee Advisory Committee: Ed Stojanovich, Bridal Lambert, Josh Blackbird, John Kennedy and Pete Gibson were appointed to one‑year terms (motion carries 5–0).
Park board (Hanover member): Eric Veliska was accepted as the Hanover representative; chair noted this is an accepted appointment from the other jurisdiction.
Police Commission: Rob Kmetz and Randy Follmeier were appointed (motion carries 4–1).
Redevelopment Commission: The council approved a slate that included Mike Kovath, Richard Jorgensen, Wayne Bondinas, Anne Holster and Jerry Switz (motion carries 5–0; the item recorded as a council action).
Fire and Merit Board: Nicole Burials was appointed (motion carries 5–0).
Sanitary District: A single nominee for the Sanitary District was approved by a 3–2 roll call (motion carries 3 to 2); the transcript shows recorded no votes and ayes corresponding to a split result but does not provide the nominee’s name in the roll call segment text beyond the motion record.
South Shore Convention and Visitors Authority: Peter Kildaris was reappointed (motion carries 5–0).
Tree Board: Kaye Fernandez, Mary Therese Roberts, Julie Stessel and Rich Christakis were approved (motion carries 5–0).
Several of these votes were taken consecutively with roll calls recorded; the transcript does not list term expiration dates for every appointment or, in some cases, the name of the person making the motion and second. A public commenter had raised concerns earlier in the meeting about sanitary board affiliations and potential conflicts of interest; the council proceeded with the appointments during the same meeting.
