Nearly a dozen residents urged the Southampton Town Board last week to switch the designation of an 8.3-acre preserved farmland parcel across from Wolffer Estate Vineyard in Sagaponack to open space. Sagaponack Mayor Bill Tillotson and David McMillan Jr., a member of that village’s board, opposed the change.

The East Hampton Town Board accepted a bid of $791,875 Tuesday for renovations to be made to the town’s dispatch center.
