I have been working with a working group of residents from a number of the streets in the neighborhood on how to manage traffic flow, etc. for this school opening in September. Emerson Road and the westerly portions of Dividence Road are unusual in that they are a private way. They do, however, play an integral part in access to the Wood End School. The Board of Selectmen are meeting on August 8, 2005 at 6:30 p.m. in the Senior Center, 49 Pleasant Street, Reading, Massachusetts to discuss with residents in the neighborhood the future of both Dividence Road and Emerson Street. The Board will be pleased to have you join them for that discussion. The meeting should last to no later than 7:30 p.m. as the Board has other business to conduct at that time. I'm looking forward to seeing you at the meeting. If you are not able to attend, and have any questions or comments that you would like to make you can address them directly to me at the above address or by email at townmanaaer(a,ci.readina.ma.us.

These have been hands on roles that required my involvement in all aspects.of the business including monthly departmental reporting and annual financial statement preparation, retirement system management (401k plans) and budgeting. I have also recently. provided consulting services to similar companies. I am also a licensed CPA and have my MBA in Finance/Accounting. After receiving my MBA I worked for five years with a big 4 CPA firm so I understand the need for controls and the internal audit function. I am looking for a change'of pace and the role of Town Accountant seems to be just the ticket. My accounting background and hands on experiences coupled with my big picture perspective I feel would be of value to the role. In addition, it would be a new venue for me so I would be enhancing my learning and offer me challenge. As a 15 year resident of Reading with two young children it would also be nice to finally have an easy commute. I am definitely not the typical profile for this position but I think it could be a win win for both sides. I hope you also see the potential. Best regards, Steve Dane 1--6- STEPHEN T.
