Southold Town Board members will begin working with with Greenport Village officials to coordinate the Memorial Day weekend Tall Ships visit to Greenport at this Tuesday’s Town Board work session, to be held at 9 a.m. Tuesday at Southold Town Hall.

Also on the agenda, which can be viewed at the bottom of this post, is a discussion of the village’s plan for new parking meters.

Southold Town is expected to hire a traffic control officer to monitor village parking. The officer would answer to the town police department, but be paid by the village.

Also up for discussion Tuesday are an update on the jetty at Goldsmith Inlet in Southold, the use of the town transfer station by unlicensed contractors and appointment of members to the town’s new Shellfish Advisory Committee.

At the Town Board’s regular meeting at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, a public hearing will be held on the acquisition of .7 acres of open space owned by the Manor Grove Corp. This property is part of a larger plan to preserve acreage surrounding Pipe’s Cove, which is just west of Greenport.

Resolutions to approve two new local laws on property maintenance and site plan amendments are also on the agenda.
