Hamptons.com Talks With Southampton Town Council Candidate Stan Glinka

Southampton Town Council Candidate Stan Glinka (Courtesy Photo)

What in your professional background qualifies you to be elected to the Southampton Town Council?

Stan Glinka: I have been in banking for 21 years out on the East End. I am currently a VP at BNB. I have been very involved with civic and charity organizations throughout the town from west to east. I am currently president of the HB chamber of commerce, VP for HB rotary club, President of the Rogers Memorial Library Foundation, Treasurer of the Southampton Business Alliance, Board member for the Dominican Sisters family health services and currently sit on the Audit Advisory Board for the Town of Southampton. Being given the honor of nomination to run for Town Council to me is the next step in my progression of community involvement. Now I can bring my knowledge of the needs and wants of our residents together with my financial expertise and management skills and make a meaningful contribution at Town Hall.

It is difficult, if not impossible, for young people that grew up Southampton Town to remain in the community due mainly to the high property values and taxes, as a member of the Town Council what would you do to solve this problem, if it is solvable at all?

S.G: I am fortunate enough to be able to return here after college and be able to live and work in the Town. Creating Affordable work force housing, giving young adults starting out the opportunity to own something and help them get established. There are many young professionals that cannot afford to buy anything in the community. I would establish a community land trust for affordable home-ownership opportunities and work productively with the town housing authority, the SH Business Alliance Housing Initiative. I would balance our preservation agenda with economic development and meeting house needs for our workforce, emergency responders and next generation of local families and business owners.

Although necessary, if not vital, to the seasonal industries like landscaping, hospitality and construction, the issue of illegal workers is of growing concern to residents. How would you address this issue if elected to the Town Council?

S.G.: Code enforcement issues are significant in some areas of the Town. The work load on the code enforcement personnel is significant. Recognizing the growing nature of the problem, the Town Board should consider holding special meetings, specifically noticed for public hearings dealing with quality of life issues in the affected communities. Looking at the staffing level in code enforcement would also be one the forefront issues. Illegal workers is a federal government issue, as a Town Board member we can enforce overcrowding housing and holding those homeowners allowing it accountable for the safety of others.

Fiscal responsibility in government is an important issue on both federal and local levels with taxpayers demanding accountability more so than ever. How will you assure the Southampton Town taxpayers that their dollars are being well spent and do you see any waste in the Southampton Town budget and departments that you would specifically mitigate or at least redirect to better use?

S.G.: I would be looking at the budget and staffing models for each department in the Town, ensuring that all revenues are being properly allocated for staffing in the areas that are needed. I would also be looking at the monies that are spent on consulting and outside agencies that may not be necessary. Finding creative ways to hold the line on property taxes by controlling government spending, eliminating wastes as mentioned. Improving communications between the taxpayers and concerted efforts to advise of tax relief programs.

Balancing business expansion with environmental preservation is not always an easy task, what measures would you take as a member of the Town Council to improve economic growth while maintaining the open space natural splendor that is iconic to our region?

S.G.: Economic redevelopment is a major concern in the town. Making it more attractive to investors and businesses to come and set up in the Town, by offering incentives whether it be tax based or stream lining the process of setting up a business or redeveloping and refurbishing a commercial property. Working with existing properties in refurbishing them and most importantly listening to the community and what they would like to see developed and refurbished. Providing a transparency in town hall government, we particularly need to open communications up between the Town Trustees and the Town Board. There is a huge communication gap there and I do not understand why.

  • The magic of The Soho Sessions returns to the Hamptons this summer, bringing a rare and intimate live performance to Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett on Monday, August 25, 2025. This one-night-only event features Grammy Award-winning artist Maren Morris (with introduction by the actor Jason Biggs) and the genre-defying powerhouse Yola in a night of music with purpose and soul.⁠
⁠
It’s also a night for change. The event supports Music Will, the largest nonprofit music education program for schools in the U.S., which aims to reach 10 million students annually by 2030. It’s a cause that hits home for Morris: “I loved my choir and theatre classes in high school; they really shaped my theory and love for being creative in every medium,” she recalls. “It also teaches you how to be a team player and work together.”⁠

  • Hilary Matt Interiors is a residential design firm started and located in New York City with projects spanning across the country, including in the Hamptons and East End.⁠
⁠
Hilary, principal and founder, is known for a bold aesthetic that is comfortable and livable. She always keeps her clients at the forefront so they can express themselves as individuals through their spaces. After starting out in the fashion industry, Hilary felt a call to interior design where she has been bringing her unique approach and style to every space as the brand continues to grow.⁠
⁠
Hilary spoke more about her background, how each HMI project differs from one another, and why the Hamptons is such a special place to her. She also shared her top 5 interior design tips as inspiration.⁠
⁠
Can you discuss your background and how you got started with interior design?⁠
⁠
HM: I studied business and apparel merchandising. After graduating, my first job was at a women’s contemporary showroom in NYC. I had always loved fashion and wanted to be in the industry. After a year, I realized it wasn’t quite what I expected. I had always been interested in interior design, so I took a leap of faith and accepted a job as an assistant to an interior designer. I was initially nervous to leave fashion, but I figured I could always return. I ended up loving it and worked with her for eight years, learning the ins and outs of the business. I also took classes on weekends and evenings to learn computer programs, scaling, and other essential skills. After leaving that position and having my first son, I started my own company, which has snowballed into what we are today.⁠
