At a special town meeting Tuesday, West Tisbury voters will consider whether to spend money to hire a part-time administrative assistant in the town hall, and whether to grant the selectmen authority to sell three affordable lots in the Bailey Park subdivision off Old County Road.

The special town meeting — the first in West Tisbury in three years — begins Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the West Tisbury School. Moderator F. Patrick Gregory will preside over the session.
