Mr. Sukeforth is an experienced and committed procurement officer and public administrator with nearly a decade of experience. Throughout his career, Mr. Sukeforth has gathered experiences from both municipal and county levels of government, allowing him to independently work toward creative solutions and gain experience and knowledge of a variety of department purchasing and finance functions. As a native of Middleborough, MA, Mr. Sukeforth has a strong connection to the area, and has a keen sense of the overall economic climate as well as the procurement challenges and opportunities that exist both in this region and for rnidsized municipalities. Mr. Sukeforth is currently a Procurement Officer for the County of Spotsylvania, VA. There, he is responsible for executing functions central to the procurement process including processing purchase orders, providing guidance and direction to departments, managing complex solicitations, and navigating bid processes in their entirety. Mr. Sukeforth' s experience in Virginia has afforded him the opportunity to work in two high-growth localities which has required him to adapt to dynamic procurement environments and learn a new state procurement system. We look forward to the experience and skillset Mr. Sukeforth brings to our City of Taunton Team. Thank you for your consideration.

WALSH ARSENIO CHAVES Telephone: (508)821-1471, Ext. 3014 Facsimile: (508) 828-9315 www.achaves@tauntonpd.com Honorable Shaunna O'Connell, Mayor and Municipal Council City Hall 15 Summer St Taunton MA, 02780 05/17/2023 At the April 18th meeting of the Municipal Council, Councilor McCaul made a motion to refer to the Safety Officer to look into speeding and on Plain Street. Councilor McCaul also stated that there have been three houses hit on Plain Street and Hart Street. I had already been made aware of the crashes and safety issues by residents Kristen Cimino and Mary Franklin, both residents of Plain Street. This area of Plain Street is thickly settled urban residential with a non-posted speed limit of 30 MPH. I placed the Black Cat II Plus radar box on the telephone pole across from 13 Plain Street from 4/20/2023 to 412712023. The unit recorded 65,799 vehicles. The Average speed recorded was 29 MPH, with an enforceable violation rate of 1 %. I also researched the crash history in that area of Plain Street. The crash history includes all crashes from Beacon Street to West Water Street from 2018 to 4/6/2023. I found 28 crashes in that time frame. There were 2 crashes in 2023, 8 crashes in 2022, 5 crashes in 2021, 4 crashes in 2020, 5 crashes in 2019, 4 crashes in 2018. I spoke with the city engineer, and we agreed that adding signage would help make that area safer. The DPW will be placing chevrons in the area of 13 Plain Street, and curve ahead signs near Beacon Street and Berkley Street. This should give motorists advanced warning that there is a significant curve in the area. The chevrons will also help motorists navigate the curve at night. This should improve the safety of the roadway.

WALSH ARSENIO CHAVES Telephone: (508)821-1471, Ext. 3014 Facsimile: (508) 828-9315 www.achaves@tauntonpd.com Honorable Shaunna O'Connell, Mayor and Municipal Council City Hall 15 Summer St Taunton MA, 02780 5/17/2023 I am asking the Municipal Council allow a NO PARKING ordinance for the area of West Britannia Street near the Polish American Citizens Club. Councilor Quintel made me aware that large vehicles such as tractor trailer units and fire engines had a difficult time making the turn from Bay Street to West Britannia Street when vehicles were parked in that area. The no parking would be from the comer of Bay Street at West Britannia Street, along the side of the Polish Club to the entrance of the parking lot for the Polish Club. I believe this will make it safer for large vehicles to tum onto West Britannia Street from Bay Street.

Both roadways are off of Williams Street and it appears to be a four way intersection. There was a serious motor vehicle crash at that intersection recently, and there may be some confusion with right of way if someone is not familiar with the area. I am asking that a stop sign be placed on Deer Track Dr. and a stop sign be placed on Sir Josephs Ct. I believe that the stop signs will make this intersection safer.
