St. John Redevelopment Commission reapproves $135,592.32 in TIF bond payments

The Town of St John Redevelopment Commission on April 22 approved meeting minutes and two accounts-payable vouchers, including a $135,592.32 payment tied to developer bonds for Orchard Gate and St. John Commons.

Commissioners first approved the March 24, 2026 meeting minutes by voice vote; the chair recorded the motion as carried 5 to 0. The body then considered Accounts Payable Voucher A dated April 22, 2026, representing payroll, supplies, services and equipment with a combined total of $135,592.32. A member explained that three payments in the bundle had previously appeared on the Town Council docket in December but should have been on the Redevelopment Commission docket because they are payments on developer bonds and must be made from the tax increment financing (TIF) revenues tied to the affected districts. The member characterized the items as principal and interest per the debt schedule for those TIFs.

After a motion and second, the commission approved Voucher A by a 5-to-0 vote. The commission then approved Accounts Payable Voucher B, also dated April 22, 2026, for $1,500 by the same margin. During reports and correspondence, the chair asked Town Manager Wayne Pandinus for updates; he reported no items. The meeting was adjourned following a motion that carried 5 to 0.

The actions taken were procedural approvals to process the listed payments; no additional directives, studies or follow-up tasks were recorded in the meeting minutes provided.
