At a May 27 special meeting, the St. James Township Board approved two road-related contracts with Rieth-Riley Construction Co., accepted Trustee Craig Peirano’s resignation effective July 8, 2026, and approved postings for two trustee vacancies and seasonal positions for gardener and cleaner.
The St. James Township Board voted May 27 to award two road-related contracts to Rieth-Riley Construction Co. and to approve several personnel postings after a special meeting at St. James Township Hall.
The board approved a contract for the Transport Bituminous Millings project with Rieth-Riley; the minutes list the bid price as $200.00. The board also approved a separate contract for Aggregate Surface Course (ASC) Processing to Rieth-Riley at a bid price of $129,200.00. Both contract motions were approved by roll call; the minutes record votes in favor by Cole, Gillespie, McDonough, Peirano and Supervisor Welke for the award motions.
The board tabled proposed amendments to the Road Fund, noting review by the Finance Committee is pending; the minutes do not record a mover or vote for that item.
Trustee Craig Peirano’s resignation was accepted with an effective date of July 8, 2026. The board moved to accept the resignation and the motion “carried by all,” per the minutes.
The board voted to post the two trustee vacancies created by the impending resignation. It also approved posting a part-time seasonal gardener position to begin June 1, 2026, with starting pay listed at $20 per hour “based on experience.” A separate motion approved posting a part-time seasonal cleaner position at $25 per hour; that motion passed by roll call with Cole, Gillespie, McDonough and Supervisor Welke recorded as voting yes and Peirano recorded as voting no.
The minutes note a brief discussion about Fourth of July fireworks but do not record any decisions or details about permits, vendors, or funding.
The meeting was adjourned later in the session; the minutes list Suzanne Boyle as deputy clerk submitting the record.
Note on minutes and figures: the meeting minutes include a header indicating the meeting time as 5:00 PM but record that Supervisor Welke called the meeting to order at 11:02 AM; the minutes also list the Transport Bituminous Millings bid as $200.00 without specifying units or whether that is a per-ton figure. Those timing and numeric details are recorded here exactly as they appear in the minutes.
