Two competing narratives have emerged from the East Hampton Town Tax Receiver’s Office after four of its five employees abruptly left the department a month ago.

Julian and Barbara Neski’s 1964 Chalif House on Terbell Lane in East Hampton has recently come on the market for $11 million-plus. The house is historically important, but given the times, the value of a one-acre plot, and its location in the village’s estate section, it’s likely to be torn down.

A group of six neighbors who own properties adjacent to and near 370 and 372 Further Lane in Amagansett have had their eyes on a new hedge that blocks views of those properties. In June they sent a letter to the town board and the town attorney letting them know that if they didn’t do something, they would be held liable.

Jeff Miller, the Republican candidate for East Hampton Town clerk, on Friday retired from his position as heavy-equipment operator at the East Hampton Village Department of Public Works, where he spent 36 years.
