From the minutes
“MOTION: That the Board of Selectmen appoint Dennis Prebensen as Town of Yarmouth Representative to the Cape Cod Commission for a two-year term, which would run through January 2024. Motion by: Mike Stone Seconded by: Dan Horgan Discussion: Originally the appointment was to be for a three-year term. Since Selectman Post did not know Mr. Prebensen, and since he had been the only applicant, she proposed shortening the term to one year. Selectman Smith told the members that Mr. Prebensen had performed this type of work previously in Connecticut, and that he was enthusiastically recommended by the Community Development Director and the Town Planner. As a compromise, it was decided to recommend a two-year term. Vote: 5 ayes; 0 nays. The motion passed unanimously..” (Motion: Stone, second: Horgan)
