Town officials to seek feedback from landscaping companies as they debate leaf blowers
Spring on the North Fork means the return of farm stands and al fresco dining, crops coming back to life and spending more time outdoors.
But as the days grow longer, the constant drone of leaf blowers disrupts the peace and quiet and now, town officials may take action.
“Most of the other East End towns have something in place and it’s high time we talk about this and discuss it,” Councilwoman Sarah Nappa said Tuesday. “It’s gotten quite bad.”
Last month, officials in East Hampton approved a ban on gas- or diesel-powered leaf blowers between May and September and set time limits for their use from September to May.
How and where would legal marijuana sales fit into the existing landscape in Southold Town?
Officials discussed the issue during a work session Tuesday, ultimately agreeing they should seek public input before deciding whether to opt out of allowing marijuana sales and forfeiting tax revenue following the recent state legislation to legalize the drug.
Towns and villages have until the end of the year to decide whether to opt out, which would specifically prohibit retail sales and on-site consumption, but would not impact someone’s ability to possess, use or grow marijuana at their residence.
Though there’s many discussions left to be had, one board member expressed support for getting to work on regulating the industry so the town is well prepared.

November’s election will feature something not seen in more than three decades in Southold Town: a contested race for town clerk.
The Southold Town Democratic Committee announced Monday that Candace Hall, a native of Greenport, has earned the nomination for clerk.
Ms. Hall is a small-business owner, licensed insurance broker and former preschool teacher who says she is passionate about ensuring diverse representation for minority children.
She said she’s thrilled to bring her positive energy, administrative and management skills and commitment to the community to Town Hall.
