As a Department Head, I have experience with both financial and personnel management. I have lived in Reading for 26 years and worked for the Town of Reading in non-exempt, exempt, part-time,and full-time positions.I also think ten years of experience as a legal research librarian will come in handy in understanding related laws and regulations. I am very interested in continuing to serve my colleagues - past, present and future - and working to keep the Reading pension system healthy. I also enjoy learning, even completing a graduate-level certificate while working full-time, and look forward to learning more about the retirement system in Reading and in the larger conext of the State/Federal governments. 26 June 4, 2024 Tuesday Overview of Meeting Public Comment Select Board Liaison and Town Manager Reports HEARING Discuss and Vote FY25 Water & Sewer Rates HEARING Traffic Amendment Jones PTTTF Update PTTTF - Jones Vote & Grant Gazebo Circle Easement B/C/C budget vote?
