Southold Roundup: Airport Runway Agreements, Senior Center Upgrade, and Zoning Hearings Lead Recent Agenda Items
Southold's boards and committees covered a range of land-use, budget, and zoning matters in late June and early July. All meetings listed below have published agendas but no published minutes yet, so outcomes should be confirmed when minutes become available.
Town Board: Airport Agreements and Budget Modifications
The Southold Town Board's June 30 agenda included several financial actions. The headline item was a pair of agreements for Fishers Island Airport runway repairs, totaling $99,987.00 and $120,175.00. The board was also set to approve a $10,554.33 budget modification for a Senior Center bathroom upgrade.
Refunds were on the agenda as well: $2,300 total for event cleanup deposits and $60.00 for beach parking permits. The board set its next meeting for July 28, 2026.
A separate June 30 Town Board agenda covered policy discussions rather than votes. The Agricultural Advisory Committee was scheduled to present zoning update recommendations for agriculture. The board also planned to discuss commercial garbage fees, a draft policy for co-naming town streets, and a revised MPR grant application. Updates from the Peconic Estuary Program and the Suffolk County IA System Grant were also listed.
