“Bacon moved that the Town of Wellfleet adhere to the Governor's recommendations with regard to all rentals for the Calendar Year 2020. Wilson seconded. o Discussion: DeVasto and Carlson were not in favor of this and wanted to see what the Governor comes out with. Wilson said she wants to be on record as a Board that we will adhere to the Governor's guidelines, and noted that the Town can be stricter than what he ends up coming out with. DeVasto said he felt the current motion, proposed by Kathleen, indicated that the Town would not be any stricter. Hoort said that with or without a motion, the Town must abide by the Governor's guidelines and that the is coming out with guidance on June 8, and there is a meeting of this Board again on June 9, so the matter can be taken up then. The motion failed by 2-3, with Reinhart, DeVasto and Carlson opposed.” (Motion: Bacon, second: Wilson)
