East Hampton board opens meeting, schedules swearing-in for four promoted officers
Summary
The East Hampton Town Board opened its July 16 meeting, led the Pledge of Allegiance, and previewed an agenda that includes the swearing-in of four police promotions (one to sergeant, three to detective) and three public hearings; no votes were recorded in the transcript.
The chair opened the East Hampton Town Board meeting on July 16, 2026, noting the session was being broadcast on Channel 20 and streamed on YouTube and asking the clerk to call the roll.
The meeting began with roll call. The transcript records Council member Flake, Deputy Supervisor Lees, Council member Caldwell Beamer and Supervisor Bergonzales as present; the roll call entry for Council member Rogers appears in the record but, as transcribed, no "Present" response is recorded for that member.
The chair led the Pledge of Allegiance and then previewed the evening's agenda. The chair said the meeting would start with a presentation by the town historian, followed by the swearing-in of four police promotions — one to sergeant and three to detective — and then three public hearings, a public comment period and a set of resolutions.
No formal motions or votes are recorded in the provided transcript excerpt. The clerk briefly reported a technical issue and asked participants to stand by before the meeting continued to the scheduled items.
The board is scheduled to proceed with the announced presentations and public hearings later in the agenda; the transcript ends during the administrative opening and does not record further debate or outcomes.
