I believe that I am uniquely suited to this position as I have worked in Hopkinton for four years, and due to my current experience as the Adult Services Librarian. I received my B.A. in English Literature in 2014, and subsequently my Master's in Library and Information Sciences from (3.94 GPA). These degrees and my subsequent work in libraries required creativity, strong customer service skills, and good project management skills. In addition, I am committed to community outreach, partnering with local departments and organizations, maintaining up to date, diverse, and dynamic collections, and providing educational and engaging programming. In both my academic and professional life, I have consistently been praised as creative and enthusiastic by my professors, peers, and managers. I thrive in environments that allow me to pursue projects and research, both solo and in collaboration with other staff. In my work in Hopkinton, I have worked across departments and with all staff members to create and promote programs, train staff and patrons in technology usage, introduce software and specialty collections, and improve patron experiences. I find my work with staff highly rewarding, and I often get feedback that my trainings are comprehensive, thorough, and engaging. I have also been recognized by my supervisors for the excellence of my work. My performance review of 1/2021 through 6/2021 I was rated as "Exceeds Expectations Regularly" for my work during the beginning of the pandemic, including my assistance helping staff transition and adapt to remote work, seeking, identifying, and implementing new ways for us to provide remote or distance services to patrons, and "moving colleagues toward a more adaptive, flexible, and responsive mindset in the face of change and challenges." I have continued to implement new programs and initiatives, expand services and materials offerings, and streamline workflows as we settle into a New Normal. I have also built deep, resilient connections with Library staff members, employees in other town departments, representatives from local nonprofits, and other community members. I have a unique constellation of skills and experience that I believe will enable me to excel in this position, and I know that the last few years have proven that I am up to the task. I have deeply enjoyed my time in Hopkinton and am thrilled to have another opportunity to again deepen my commitment to Hopkinton, its staff, and its residents. I look forward to elaborating on how my specific skills and abilities will continue to benefit the staff and serve the patrons at the Hopkinton Public Library in the position of Head of Reference and Technology. Please contact me at or email me at to arrange a convenient meeting time.

I take a lot of pride in being a leader in Public Works and the critical role Public Works has in improving quality of life. I have over 20 years of leadership and technical experience, with the last 10 years spent in municipal engineering for Massachusetts communities. I can bring a unique perspective to this role as a Hopkinton resident who has been actively involved in our Town since moving here in 2012. I cannot imagine a more rewarding job than being able to serve my community in the role as Public Works Director. In my years in public works with Framingham and Worcester, I have demonstrated my ability to prepare, direct, and oversee work for highway, water, sewer, stormwater, and environmental projects. Throughout my career, I have shown that I work well both independently and collaboratively, can be relied upon to provide a quality product, routinely lead teams and initiatives, and successfully engage the public in support of our efforts. I can shift between managing day-to-day operations to big picture, long-term planning. Additionally, I work hard to cultivate relationships with fellow staff, municipal departments, residents, elected officials, neighboring communities, and state and federal regulators to accomplish goals. My skills and experience will be beneficial to Hopkinton as we navigate continuing growth and demands and face new challenges, such an evolving regulations and the impacts of climate change. My existing knowledge and relationships will enable me to quickly lead Hopkinton's public works initiatives. For example, I will be able to manage the Town's compliance with the Massachusetts' National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit since I am actively involved with compliance as part of my role on the Hopkinton Conservation Commission and my role as co-chair of the Central Massachusetts Regional Stormwater Coalition, of which Hopkinton is a member. I feel confident in my ability to coordinate with MassDOT on Chapter 90 work, bridges, the downtown traffic improvement project and the 1-90/495 interchange since I currently work with MassDOT District 3 and manage similar projects. I have a lot of experience with sustainability and resiliency programs such as the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) program and FEMA's Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program and look forward to supporting the Town's flood mitigation and culvert assessment efforts having led this type of work for both Framingham and Worcester. Having previously worked for a MWRA community and being very involved in the New England Water Environment Association will help me assist the Town with finding solutions for our water and sewer demands, including the proposed water main connection to the MWRA through Southborough and potential treatment alternatives to address PFAS. I'm also very confident that I can take over leading the Lake Maspenock weed management program and dam maintenance program which John previously spearheaded. 1 hope that you will see that my experience and personality would be a good fit for Hopkinton's Public Works. 1 Some of my key strengths that will serve well for the Public Works Director role: • Project Management — I am a Professional Engineer with extensive experience developing and implementing financially responsible capital improvement projects, comprehensive planning, and integrated programs to meet long-term municipal goals, provide regulatory compliance, and enhance the level of service for residents and stakeholders. • Team Building — People are our most valuable resource. Building and retaining a committed, reliable, and dedicated public works team has become increasing challenging with the current competitive labor market and retirements of experienced staff. Retaining institutional knowledge, fostering professional development, recruiting talent, and building a team will be my top priorities. • Great Communication Skills - I am an experienced facilitator who is used to working with diverse groups, from regulators to politicians to concerned citizens. I understand the importance of gauging your audience and presenting information in a manner that will garner understanding and support. I appreciate the value of an informed and engaged public and will work with the Town's management team to build support for our work. • Proven Leader - I am an experienced leader. The Army instilled in me values and a work ethic that I continue to carry with me — teamwork, multi -tasking, stress -management, and a "never quit" attitude. I look forward to discussing this opportunity with you. My resume and the Town's application for employment form are attached for your review.

The SB should hear from all parties before ruling whether to disband the UCTC. At its meeting of May 9, 2023, the SB asked the Town Manager, Norman Kumalo to facilitate a joint meeting with the SB, UCTC and TCMC to discuss this matter. The UCTC was formed by the legal authority of the then Board of Selectmen. As with any duly -formed town committee, the UCTC has the right to due process. Mon, Jul 3, 2023 at 1:45 PM The public hearing must require the citizens' petitioners and the Trails Coordination and Management Committee to present evidence to support their claims and arguments to disband the UCTC. The public hearing must allow the UCTC, its members and others to present evidence to support not disband the UCTC. To date, the matter of disbanding the UCTC and forming a new trails committee has been handled in an arbitrary and unfair manner, directed primarily by the TCMC. The petition presented at and voted upon at ATM was a nonbinding public opinion advisory question. The SB is the only authority that can make a vote of no confidence in a committee and take the unprecedented action of disbanding a town committee at the request of another town committee. I ask that the SB hold such a meeting at its' earliest convenience before it rules on whether to disband the UCTC. At the SB meeting on July 11, 2023, please include an agenda item to discuss holding a meeting to discuss this matter. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

At a recent construction meeting held on 6/13/23,MassDOT confirmed that substantial completion is the goal for this fall and MassDOT’s definition of substantial completion is the roadway work is complete -lanes open,striping,signage and signals.This does not include punch list items such as landscaping and electrical,which is affected by the poles not being set. Eversource clarified that they would not be done by the end of October.Eversource has a shortage of transformers;a 36-week lead time is possible and there is no date when they will be available.This is a national issue for all utility companies;not just Eversource. Amorello is on schedule to be finished up this year.The utility work,Eversource transformers and Verizon not setting poles,seems like it may delay completing the complete switchover to the new underground system and the transfer of overhead utilities.Amorello's final switchover of the properties to the new underground relies on completion of all overhead and underground work by the utilities.The utilities (not MassDOT,Amorello,or the Town)schedule and complete that work. Phase 1 and 2 of Main Street Reconstruction has been completed.This work focused on the area from West Main Street to the Fire Station and the 135/85 intersection.This work included the full-depth excavation of these sections of Main Street and the installation of two of the three final paving courses.The final course of pavement will be installed at the end of the project. Most traffic and speed limit signs have been placed.The Town has requested that MassDOT remove the second pole from street signs.Street signs will be mounted on single poles. Full depth reconstruction and paving from the Muffin House to the east end of the project is completed. Line striping is also complete.The final course of pavement will be installed at the end of the project. 2 Anticipated Work for Summer 2023 includes the following: ●Curb work anticipated the first week in June,followed by sidewalks. ●Eversource -80%of cables installed ●Eversource has shortage of transformers;36-week lead time possible;Still no update;not onsite or available ●Verizon poles still need to be set;The Town and MassDOT met with Verizon on 5/17/2023.Verizon will update the Town with a schedule (still awaiting update) ●Loam and Seed:Once concrete is poured for sidewalks,loam and seed on the backside will occur.Estimated to be two months out. ●Trees to be selected by the Town needed soon.Amorello working with landscaping company and MassDOT will be involved with the tree selection and construction process. ●MassDOT is expecting a submittal from the manufacturer for replacing mast arms and signal poles due to defective paint.MassDOT and the Town rejected the original manufacturer submission for in–field repainting.

So we don’t keep having further problems we have decided to upgrade all the flame heads with auto reigniters. These need a pier source so we are using larger solar panels in each pole to reignite the flame if it goes out. To back up the solar if if has a long period of no sun we are also installing a battery backup storage system for each pole. We have ordered all this equipment. It should all be in later next week. Once received we will install it. We will give you an update once complete.

What if this was the artist's rendering of the new Elmwood School? I know we are quite far into the process of designing a new school, but please keep an open mind and consider this potential: I am approaching you simply as a taxpayer, and not as an officer of SEPAC. There are many concerns in the community with the upcoming costs related from a 2/3/4 school to replace the Elmwood School. I know that many are hopeful for a built from scratch school on currently undeveloped land. Others are very concerned that a project of this magnitude will raise taxes significantly. I'm trying to think outside of the box and find a pragmatic solution to our exploding growth. I don't know who is best to approach with an idea. Please let me know if the idea of using existing infrastructure has already been explored and decided against. My idea is as follows: The current Elmwood School proposal is 176,000 gross square feet. https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?i k=dbd2da471 e&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-f:1769720767894135847&simpl=msg-f: 1769720767894135847 1/2 6/26/23, 8:30 AM Town of Hopkinton, MA Mail - Fwd: Elmwood School Project There is currently a vacant building at 52 South St. that is 150,000 square feet, on a large, flat, serviced lot. The building was built in 2002 (21 years old). There are also several adjacent lots (66, 68, 70 South St. and 28, 30 and 34 Hayward St.) that were voted down to be rezoned at the last town meeting (the Marguerite Concrete proposal). I would like you to keep an open mind and entertain the cost savings of using this building as, at the very least, a short -to mid term solution to our growth crisis. Administration offices could even be added to this site, as well as the Excel 18-22 program. Pros- - renovating a building is infinitely cheaper than building from scratch - time to complete project would get kids in classrooms sooner than a new build -property is on a major artery with two access points and roughly 500 parking spots -building is wheelchair accessible -lot size is 20 acres- adjacent undeveloped lots are an additional 2+ acres (if needed for sports fields, gymnasium addition, access for school buses etc) outside building photos here: https://www.loopnet.com/Listi ng/52-South-St-Hopkinton-MA/24761208/?siteid=5075 lot information here: https://hopkintonma.mapgeo.io/datasets/properties?abuttersDistance=100&lating=42.206648%2C-71.545957& previewld=R23%2065%200&zoom=18 Respectfully, Jen Jen Halliday BSc CO(c) 857-453-9708 txt Jen Halliday BSc CO(c) SEPAC Hopkinton 857-453-9708 txt https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ik=dbd2da471 e&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-f:1769720767894135847&simpl=msg-f: 1769720767894135847 2/2 6/29/23, 2:46 PM Town of Hopkinton, MA Mail - Urgent Request for Gasline inspection and measures to address fume odors in Hopkinton asIeAgEttsgt Elaine Lazarus <elainel@hopkintonma.gov> Urgent Request for Gasline inspection and measures to address fume odors in Hopkinton 1 message Arora, Saher, K <sahera@bu.edu> Thu, Jun 29, 2023 at 2:16 PM To: "selectboard@hopkintonma.gov" <selectboard@hopkintonma.gov> Dear Hopkinton Town Officials, I hope this email finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring a matter of utmost concern to your attention regarding a gasline and gas plant in our neighborhood on the corner of Wilson Street and North Legacy Farms. We have been experiencing persistent and overpowering fume odors in the vicinity, which have raised serious health and safety concerns among the residents. Along with the odor, almost every night we can visibly see a long pole with fire on top indicating that fumes are being exposed every day. Over the past few years, the fumes emitted from the gasline and nearby gas plant have become increasingly noticeable and pervasive. Not only are the odors unpleasant, but they also indicate a potential risk to our community's well-being. We believe it is imperative that immediate action be taken to investigate and address the situation. We kindly request that you arrange for a qualified inspector from the relevant authority to visit our neighborhood and assess the levels of gas emissions. This inspection is crucial to determine whether the current levels pose a health hazard to the residents and to evaluate the compliance of the gasline and plant with safety regulations. The inspector's expertise will play a vital role in assessing the situation accurately and suggesting appropriate remedial measures. Moreover, the consistent exposure to fumes has resulted in adverse effects on our quality of life. Many residents have reported experiencing discomfort, headaches, and respiratory issues due to the persistent odor. The well-being of our community members should be of utmost importance, and we urge you to take swift action to alleviate these concerns. We also kindly request that you keep the affected residents informed throughout the process. Regular updates on the inspection, findings, and subsequent actions taken will not only provide much -needed reassurance but also demonstrate your commitment to prioritizing the safety and welfare of Hopkinton's residents. In conclusion, we implore you to take immediate steps to investigate the gasline and gas plant, as well as the fume odors permeating our neighborhood. We believe that timely action and effective measures will not only address the health and safety risks but also restore peace of mind for all residents. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We look forward to your prompt response and the subsequent actions taken to rectify the situation. Please feel free to contact me if you require any additional information or assistance.
