Elections for Sag Harbor Village mayor and two seats on the village board will take place on Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. at the Sag Harbor Fire Department headquarters off Brick Kiln Road, but in each case, incumbents are running unopposed.

Mayor Thomas Gardella is seeking his second two-year term. Prior to his election as mayor in 2023, he had served as a village board member for five years, four of them as deputy mayor under two former mayors, Kathleen Mulcahy and Jim Larocca.

Aidan Corish is seeking his fifth term on the village board, having been elected for the first time in 2017. Bob Plumb is seeking his fourth term on the board. He had previously served four years on the village’s zoning board of appeals.

There are no other propositions on the ballot this year.

First East Hampton, Then the World

In the summer of 2011, Alex Esposito and James Mirras addressed a specific need with Hamptons Free Ride, an electric shuttle service that ran in a fixed loop through East Hampton and from parking lots in town to Main Beach. Since then, a “hometown side project” has developed into Circuit, an all-electric, on-demand “micro-transit” solution in more than 40 cities and towns.

WordHampton Moves Downtown

The public relations firm WordHampton has long had its finger on the pulse of what’s going on in the East End business community. That comes with the job. And now, with a new office overlooking Park Place in East Hampton Village, it is part of that pulse in a way that was not quite as tangible from its former headquarters in Springs.

Sag Harbor Rejects Proposed Tree Settlement

The case of Augusta Ramsay Folks, an 81-year-old accused of cutting down two trees on Meadowlark Lane in Sag Harbor in June of last year — in violation of the village’s new tree-protection law — was back in court on July 8, when a settlement proposed by Ms. Folks was rejected by the village and then withdrawn by her attorney.
