Voting in favor of Dunn were board Chair John Hurd, Diane Mahon, Stephen DeCourcey and Town Moderator John Leone. "I can do service to the town by performing this role for a short period of time," Dunn said. "I served nine years on the Select Board, so have the experience. In the past, the board has put on former members who can easily ramp up to speed." DeCourcey, who served with Dunn on the Finance Committee, commented, "Dunn's experience will be very useful to the board." More will be reported about the meeting, which went past midnight.
