Exceptional Constituent Services

1. Public Comment at Select Board Meetings
   The Select Board typically meets twice a month, and every meeting includes a “Public Comments” agenda item. This allows residents to speak on any town topic, issue, or event. While the Select Board is not obligated to respond during this time, I will take a proactive approach. If a resident asks a question during Public Comments, I will respond—through the Chair—either with an answer, by directing them to the appropriate town department, or by taking their name and email to follow up within 48 hours. If necessary, I will ask the Town Administrator to provide a timely response as well.
2. Direct Communication via Email
   Every Select Board member has a dedicated .gov email address, but this is not widely known within the community. Residents can email the Select Board 24/7 with their questions, concerns, or comments. If elected, I will make it my policy to respond to all inquiries within 48 hours. Timely communication is vital to building a government that serves the people effectively. For your convenience, here are the Select Board email addresses:

• nmasse@northreadingma.gov
• soleary@northreadingma.gov
• rwallner@northreadingma.gov
• vstuto@northreadingma.gov
• lgonzalez@northreadingma.gov

3. Participation at Town Meetings
   Twice a year, in June and October, residents can engage directly at Town Meeting. During these meetings, the public may speak to the Town Moderator about specific articles on the warrant. While the Moderator controls the discussion, the moderator may ask the Select Board to respond to questions. If given the opportunity, I will provide clear and thorough answers to ensure residents are fully informed.
