St John council reappoints members to multiple town boards; sanitary‑district nomination passes 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.
