The East Hampton Village Board, meeting last Thursday, considered proposals to hold an outdoor Christmas market on Newtown Lane in December, and to install high-tech ticket dispensers in village parking lots.
An application from the Thomas and Mary Nimmo Moran Studio for variances and permissions to allow retail sales, hold events for more than 50 people, install path lighting, and for an additional parking area came before the Village Zoning Board of Appeals on Friday.
The East Hampton Town Board voted last Thursday to accept the donation of a park bench in memory of Stuart B. Vorpahl Jr., a fisherman, historian, town trustee, secretary of the East Hampton Baymen’s Association, and a descendant of one of East Hampton’s oldest families.
Evaluating and choosing from among as many as 18 candidates every two years is no easy task, and Francis Bock, the clerk of the East Hampton Town Trustees, is among those calling for staggered elections for the trustee board, so that fewer candidates will stand for re-election simultaneously.
