[1:47]
» Hello. Hey, I'm Katie Morgan. I live in
Collington. Um, please ma'am.
[1:52]
» I'm sorry.
>> Your address? 101 Maddox Crossing.
[1:56]
You're welcome. Um, so I came out
tonight just because I had I guess a
[2:00]
question um and a comment, two things. I
was out. I'm a big proponent of the disc
[2:05]
golf course. I think we all know that
here. I was out playing disc golf the
[2:09]
other day and um I felt Terry, you know,
he was really a big supporter of the
[2:15]
disc golf course and it just made me
start thinking about everything and I
[2:19]
was like, you know, I called Bob Sanders
today and he's the um Nag's head
[2:24]
commissioner and also one of the heads
of the disc golf club which is highly
[2:29]
successful, hugely popular. People come
here to play disc golf. Anyways, the
[2:33]
point of the story is that I was
playing. I called him. I said, "Hey,
[2:37]
wasn't there weren't there all kinds of
um markings out on this course because I
[2:41]
thought that it was going to be
considered that y'all were going to
[2:43]
build a pavilion and and a parking lot
and some things like that." And I just I
[2:48]
guess my question was if anything like
that was happening. Um, and also I
[2:53]
remember Bob had mentioned that there
was going to be a committee possibly um,
[2:57]
formed with the local disc golf club
just to kind of make sure that
[3:01]
everybody, you know, thought everything
was going well. And I he had said that
[3:04]
nobody had reached out to him about
that. So I didn't know if maybe if that
[3:08]
committee was still happening. And then
my comment was, wouldn't it be, this is
[3:16]
just something I thought out there.
Wouldn't it be amazing and awesome if we
[3:19]
did name like the big pavilion after
Terry or and honor it because I know
[3:24]
that was a huge thing. I talked to him a
lot on the phone about it. Um I don't
[3:27]
know just a thought and like I said just
questions because I remember seeing um I
[3:32]
can't think of the markings out there on
the course a while ago. So yeah, that
[3:36]
was all. Thank you.
>> Thank you.
[3:42]
» I saw another hand pop up.
[3:48]
Hello, my name is Kathleen Wnooki, 313
Cameron Street. Um, good evening. I'm
[3:54]
here today on behalf of the League of
Women Voters, wanting to um, present you
[4:00]
guys with the 2026 Citizens Guide. This
is a guide that's filled with all kinds
[4:04]
of information, state, federal, um,
local government information, election
[4:10]
information, all kinds of of things that
people like. Um, this is our 37th year
[4:18]
presenting them and we're in the midst
right now of distributing and I I get a
[4:24]
little waverly when I speak in public so
excuse me. We're right now distributing
[4:28]
6,400 um throughout Dair County from
Duck to Hatteris Village um to mainland
[4:34]
Rono Island um and you can find them in
libraries at the towns at at businesses
[4:39]
all throughout. wanted to come out here
to present these to you all and also
[4:43]
thank the town for their gracious
gracious contribution. We have sponsors
[4:48]
on the back that have helped make this
happen. That's financially as well as
[4:52]
town employees have answered questions
to make sure that this is the most
[4:56]
accurate information possible. So, the
the League of Women Voters, just so you
[5:01]
guys know, is a nonpartisan political
organization that encourages informed
[5:06]
and educated active participation in um
government and we influence public
[5:13]
policy through education and advocacy
and this is part of our process.
[5:18]
Membership is also open to anyone of
voting age, men and women. So, thank
[5:22]
you. The town of Kilop Hills,
>> who shall hand?
[5:26]
» Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
[5:31]
» Would anybody else like to speak at this
first
[5:34]
» public comment time?
[5:39]
» All right. Uh seeing nobody else, we'll
close public comment. Uh response to
[5:45]
public comment. Um Katie, I'm so happy
to hear that you enjoyed disc golf. I
[5:50]
think it I think our board
wholeheartedly agrees with you that it
[5:52]
is a wonderful resource that we
certainly prioritize.
[5:57]
Um improvements to the disc golf course
has been a priority of ours for a long
[6:01]
time. We're still looking for ways to
incorporate those in future planning and
[6:06]
future in capital investments. Um you
know that that hasn't changed. I don't
[6:12]
have a can I give you exact timeline
where we're going to break ground and do
[6:15]
things not today. But uh that is
definitely something that's been on
[6:20]
important to us and hasn't changed for
quite a long time. Uh
[6:26]
to my knowledge at this time there is no
committee in discussion for
[6:30]
improvements.
uh talking about the Terry's legacy and
[6:34]
committee work. the the Westside group
invested lots of time and I think we
[6:38]
have some Westside Group members maybe
here um really looking into that and and
[6:43]
prioritizing
you know pedestrian uses and and really
[6:49]
maximizing that space as a while and in
regards to you know potentially naming a
[6:54]
future improvement after Terry's memory
I think that is definitely something
[6:59]
that's on our list is definitely top of
mind for us we're just going kind of
[7:05]
when that opportunity arises, take
advantage of it. But yes, Terry hasn't
[7:11]
gone far from our hearts and minds and
won't and that won't happen. Um,
[7:18]
Kathleen,
I love those books.
[7:22]
It's a they're a wonderful resource to
share and have around Dair County.
[7:31]
and they uh you know I'm glad that we
the league keeps this I mean 37 years is
[7:36]
I didn't know it's that long that's
rather impressive to have uh this
[7:41]
resource out there for folks to have so
thank you and thank the lead for all
[7:45]
their all their good work any other
response to
[7:50]
» I would just say that uh definitely
agree something in this town will be
[7:54]
named after Terry Gray uh I'm sure most
everybody agrees with that in this room.
[8:00]
So, we'll do something for for him for
sure. And that's that might be that
[8:05]
might be as good as any. But yeah, thank
you.
[8:08]
» Hey, mayor. Um, and I'll also address
the uh the stakes you're talking about.
[8:13]
We recently had the property surveyed.
Kind of step one getting the ball
[8:15]
rolling and what we're doing at Bum
Track. Uh, we had the property surveyed.
[8:18]
The last survey that was done was 2008.
So, there's disc off there. There's a
[8:22]
lot more going on there. Um, edge of
waters changed, wetlands have changed.
[8:26]
So we got the property uh new boundary
survey and we also got a new wetland
[8:30]
delineation which was just approved by
the core of engineers. Um that's good
[8:33]
for five years. So now we can kind of
start the concept planning planning
[8:36]
stages. Um really what do we want to see
there? So mapping the holes of disc golf
[8:42]
and what's actually there and being used
was important to really see what other
[8:45]
kind of space we have and how other
things may work. So, um, we'll be
[8:49]
looking for services for some concept
design and stuff that we'll bring back
[8:52]
to the board and then that'll be opened
up, you know, in a public setting. So,
[8:56]
that's kind of where we where we are and
where we're going.
[8:59]
» Thank you, Cameron.
>> Any other response? Public comment?
[9:05]
» No, sir.
>> All right. Seeing none, we'll move
[9:08]
along. Uh, any ongoing business?
>> All right, we can move along. New
[9:12]
business, item number one, proposed
amendment to chapter 93. Uh nuances
[9:19]
ordinance 93.01 certain conditions
declared nuisances nuances uh clarity
[9:26]
clarify business code compliance
cameras.
[9:29]
» Yes, thank you. Tonight you do have a a
proposed amendment to 9301J
[9:34]
and this is really more housekeeping.
This was identified by staff that the
[9:38]
current regulations do not address the
appropriate nuisances that are
[9:42]
associated with building code compliance
issues. Uh the proposed amendment
[9:46]
clarifies that all construction that
poses a risk to public safety are
[9:50]
considered a nuisance. And this is the
following language as you can see on the
[9:53]
screen. Uh building code compliance.
This will include any any structure or
[9:57]
construction including addition,
alteration, repair, and or remodel that
[10:01]
are not compliant with the North
Carolina building code effective on the
[10:04]
date of their construction or have not
been permitted in coordinates with North
[10:07]
Carolina building code presenting a risk
to public health or safety. Staff
[10:11]
recommends the board of commissioners
approve the amendment as presented. And
[10:14]
I'm happy to answer any questions on
particulars if you have any.
[10:21]
» Looks sorry.
>> Go ahead.
[10:24]
» We're just kind of clearing up the
language like the dur language of this,
[10:27]
but in practice it's not going to
change.
[10:30]
» It it's not going to change a lot. It's
going to it's going to help us out. For
[10:33]
example, um if parking lot light poles
fall down, there's exposed wiring,
[10:38]
» right?
>> That's a public health and safety
[10:40]
nuisance. Our ordinance right now really
only is catered to decks, stairs,
[10:44]
handrails. There's a lot there's a lot
of other things out there that that
[10:48]
» if if we're really trying to get these
things accomplished, it'll be a tool
[10:51]
that will be helpful.
>> Um we, you know, we can cite people for
[10:54]
violations of the electrical code and
things of that nature. But when we're
[10:58]
talking nuisances, this is something,
you know, that it's got to really fall
[11:01]
in that box of, you know, presenting a
risk to public health or safety. But
[11:06]
it's a it's really a housekeeping
amendment to address some of
[11:09]
» these before. Yeah.
>> Yeah. Got it. Thank you.
[11:14]
» Parking lot light poles are a good
example.
[11:16]
» Yeah. The
>> those metal metal entities exposed to
[11:21]
the elements tend to deteriorate faster
here than other places.
[11:25]
» And it's not always in and it's not
always um exterior. You know, if
[11:28]
somebody
>> uh you know, guts an entire house and
[11:31]
does a lot of electrical work and we're
made aware of it. Um that's that's scary
[11:35]
for the people in in the home and also
the neighbors. So, uh, you know, this
[11:39]
this just helps protect protect our
town. So,
[11:43]
» all right. Well, um, welcome a motion
for any further discussion if we have
[11:48]
it.
>> I'll make a motion to approve the
[11:50]
proposed amendment to chapter 93
nuisances 93.01J
[11:57]
certain conditions declared.
You say nuances.
[12:01]
» There's nuances of this.
>> This can be pretty tricky.
[12:06]
» The nuances of
So there you go.
[12:11]
» I'll second.
>> Do we have any further discussion?
[12:15]
Hearing none, all in favor, please
indicate by saying I.
[12:18]
» I.
>> I.
[12:19]
» All right. Very good. Thank you. Now
we'll move on to new business item
[12:25]
number two, appointments and
nominations. Item A, possible
[12:28]
appointment to fill vacancy on the board
of commissioners. Um, Mr. Odell, I'll
[12:34]
turn proceedings over to you.
[12:44]
Mayor and commissioners, good evening.
[12:49]
» At your January 12th, 2026 meeting, the
board unanimous unanimously approved the
[12:54]
timeline and process by which to build
the vacancy created by the death of
[12:58]
sitting commissioner Terry Grace, Senior
on November 27th, 2025.
[13:04]
As part of the process, interested
residents had to submit an application
[13:07]
by February the 2nd, 2026.
And then my office then transmitted
[13:12]
those applications to you for review
in which you as individuals could then
[13:18]
meet with the applicants that were
qualified, which all that we forwarded
[13:24]
um over to you to be considered this
evening.
[13:35]
As part of this evening's process, you
will the board staff recommended and the
[13:40]
board will be conducting a nomination
and ballot process which has been
[13:44]
utilized by the board which has been
adopted and utilized by the board for
[13:48]
the last two or three vacancies that
were created by the board uh over over
[13:54]
the several years.
So what is going to occur is I will
[13:59]
entertain a motion or excuse me a
nomination
[14:03]
and as pure as per your rules of
procedure any nomination requires a
[14:10]
second. So that means that if I would
nominate Casey Barnell if he were
[14:14]
qualified.
>> Oh boy.
[14:18]
» Luckily he is not. He like I live in
Kittyhawk.
[14:23]
Um
>> then if I had a nomination I would there
[14:27]
a second would be required for the
person to be considered.
[14:33]
One thing that as from staff's point of
view which I would like to just happen
[14:38]
to comment is that it was my honor and
privilege to read all these applications
[14:43]
and I do not
I couldn't make the choice myself. You
[14:48]
have an amazing pool of citizens who are
interested in serving.
[14:55]
Those who have submitted applications
are as follows. Zachary Edwards, William
[14:59]
Foxwell, Terry Gray Jr., Bill Kingston,
Justin O Sullivan, Timothy Owens, Nancy
[15:05]
Rickenbach, Marie Riierro. I hope I got
that right. Thank you. Ron Simon, Gina
[15:11]
Southol, and John Tor.
However, since the time of submission of
[15:16]
applications, Mr. Tyler's withdrawn his
name from consideration.
[15:20]
What will now occur is I have ballots
set with names of the citizens which I
[15:26]
will hand you after there are
nominations any nominations and seconds
[15:30]
for the position to fill the vacancy on
the board of commissioners. So I will
[15:34]
entertain any nominations as presented.
>> Thank you Michael. Uh before we jump
[15:39]
into this I just would like to re kind
of echo uh Mr. Adele sentiments of the
[15:45]
high quality of applicants that we had
to choose from and how lucky and pleased
[15:50]
we are as a board that have such
talented qualified people who want to
[15:56]
serve and or want to serve for the right
reasons. I think there's a lot of folks
[16:00]
who genuinely love our town and want to
be a part of this board to help make it
[16:04]
better. And I enjoyed all of the
interviews I had with several candidates
[16:09]
getting to know everybody. And uh as Mr.
Odell said, "You guys didn't make this
[16:14]
easy on us at all." So, it definitely is
a tough tough tough choice.
[16:21]
That said,
>> I'll make a motion to um nominate Ron
[16:26]
Sidman.
>> I'll second that motion.
[16:28]
» All right, we have a motion and we have
a second.
[16:33]
What are
>> there any other nominations?
[16:37]
» Yes. I move to nominate Marie Rajira as
commissioner.
[16:48]
Is there a second?
[16:56]
Are there any other nominations?
[17:00]
Okay.
[17:05]
I will now hand out your pallet and then
I'll explain the process.
[17:21]
» Thank you, sir.
[17:30]
» Under North Carolina state law, there
are no secret ballots.
[17:34]
What will occur is just a moment I will
ask you to please complete this ballot
[17:42]
which is ballot number one. I made
extras just in case. It has a listing of
[17:47]
every name of every qualified person and
applicant was which is listed.
[17:54]
What will occur for the office of the
clerk once those votes are made? I will
[17:58]
collect them and tally the result and
make an announcement. These ballots will
[18:03]
then be on file for the public to enter
to inspect at their convenience and they
[18:10]
will remain in my possession until the
minutes of this meeting are approved in
[18:14]
which at that time by state statute they
can be destroyed. So as a result of this
[18:19]
ballot um
a vote must be made and your signature
[18:25]
must be at the bottom of it. So, also
just to make you aware, there's only
[18:31]
been one actual nomination that is made
and that is for Ron Seidman. Uh, Mr.
[18:37]
Riierro had a nomination, but there was
no second. So, technically, procedurally
[18:43]
through Robert's rules of order, it dies
for lack of a second. So, that is not an
[18:48]
option to vote. I apologize.
Rules of Robert.
[18:53]
So, if you will please make your nom if
you will please make your vote, sign
[18:56]
your ballot and then I will collect them
momentarily.
[19:05]
And while they are voting, staff would
just like to turn all the applicants
[19:09]
attention to the fact that um the board
does uh has instructed us and reminded
[19:15]
us to share with you all that um we will
be providing a we'll be sending out an
[19:21]
application for our boards and
committees for our various boards and
[19:24]
committees that we do have. Um and uh
the board has asked us to make sure that
[19:30]
you have copy of that to please consider
that also.
[19:46]
Thank you.
[20:09]
Offic Town clerk sees that there are
four votes for Ron Sidman.
[20:15]
» So,
[20:18]
» congratulations, Mr. Sidman.
>> Congratulations,
[20:21]
» Commissioner Elect Commissioner Point.

[20:29]
» All done.

[20:37]
» All right. We can move on to
Pardon.
[20:46]
» Yes. Item B.
Um, so we're not done with our
[20:51]
appointments and nominations tonight. We
have a board of adjustment alternate
[20:55]
member seat available and I'll open the
floor floor up for discussion for that
[21:01]
as well. Unless anybody has any
objections, I would like to move to
[21:07]
nominate James Andrew Carlton as an
alternate to the board of adjustment.
[21:12]
» I'll second.
>> We have a motion and a second. Any
[21:15]
further discussion?
>> Hearing none. All in favor, please
[21:19]
indicate by saying I.

[21:26]
» All right. Um, next item on the agenda
is committee reports. Anybody have any
[21:32]
committee reports to share?
>> No for me, sir.
[21:38]
» Um, the Coastal Resource Advisory
Council met a week and a half ago, I
[21:43]
believe. I had a medical appointment
that I had to attend in Virginia, so I
[21:47]
wasn't able to attend, but I did listen
to all six hours of
[21:53]
the meeting on 1.5. So, um and it was
still like almost six hours. Um
[22:02]
obviously there's a lot um with what's
happening down south. Most of the
[22:07]
meeting um referred to that hardened
structures. The science panel is coming
[22:12]
up with um a presentation which should
happen in April. So, um, I'll keep
[22:19]
everyone updated on that, but nothing
specific to Kota at the moment.
[22:26]
» Wow. Four hours, six hours for this.
>> It was like five and a half even with it
[22:33]
sped up on YouTube. Yes. But it's it's
two days of me. I mean, it's two days of
[22:38]
meetings. So, it's
>> any other committee reports? All right.
[22:46]
Commissioner's agenda.
Nothing on mine. Nothing.
[22:53]
All right. Uh
mayor's agenda. I have uh one one item
[22:58]
this evening. And uh Captain Carter, I'd
like to please invite you to the podium
[23:04]
to discuss our uh kind of a new idea
that's recently come about Operation
[23:10]
Ride Safe.
>> Good evening, Mayor, Commissioners. Miss
[23:13]
Diaz. Um, Operation Ride Safe was
something we were asked to look into for
[23:19]
ebikes. Um, yeah, there's a quite a few
of them on our multi-use paths now,
[23:25]
sidewalks, whichever way you want to
prefer it. Um, and it's a shared space
[23:29]
and we our main goal is to figure out
how to share it uh as safely as possible
[23:33]
with everybody. So, our COP officer,
Anthony Lane, has uh put something
[23:38]
together uh more in lines with education
and with talking to our juveniles. uh
[23:43]
juveniles create a another issue for the
stops and those kinds of things. So,
[23:47]
we're trying to go about it as as
democratically as possible with the
[23:51]
parents, the schools, and having the uh
having them kind of police their own so
[23:56]
that uh it just comes out easier for the
children and for everybody that's going
[24:01]
to share these spaces. Uh so, he's doing
that with uh he's meeting with the
[24:05]
school resource officers, trying to meet
with the principles. He's spending time
[24:09]
out on Bay Drive if it's nothing more
than like, you know, asking them to make
[24:12]
sure they wear a helmet, make sure they
they share uh that they they drive as sa
[24:17]
or ride as safe as possible. And um and
just being out in the public to make
[24:23]
everyone aware that that that we do have
to share these spaces and and do it as
[24:26]
safely as possible. Um that's pretty
much the the overall of it. you know,
[24:32]
we're we're compiling data, talking to
the kids and talking to the schools, um,
[24:37]
and trying to ensure that all the ebikes
are actually ebikes. And for those,
[24:41]
we'll be trying to make sure that we get
to the parents and those things first,
[24:45]
um, to give them a chance to correct all
of that on their own. And then I'll I'll
[24:49]
be happy to take any questions from you
um, that you may have.
[24:57]
I'll just say I I believe wholeheartedly
in the in the kids of this town. Uh and
[25:02]
there's some, you know, they're they're
really spectacular young men and women.
[25:08]
And I think that yes, with just simple
education and working with them, not
[25:13]
against them, you're going to, you know,
get the response you want. Uh because,
[25:19]
you know, uh again, we have really, you
know, good school here, good good
[25:24]
parents, good families. Um and just
don't want them to feel um like they're
[25:31]
being um attacked at the same time.
Educate them. Obviously, helmets, we've
[25:36]
been we've been on that for a long time,
but certainly on a on an ebike. and then
[25:41]
uh uh the speed that that goes and then
just educating them about sharing the
[25:45]
multi-use path and all the various
things. They're not drivers yet. They
[25:50]
don't understand necessarily everything.
How to yield, how to stop. So, uh and
[25:55]
the more education I believe will be
that'll work.
[25:58]
» That's what we're hoping for because
this span of kids is not just say high
[26:01]
school kids. Uh I've met them as young
as in fifth grade I think that officer
[26:07]
Lane has already and spanning through
there. So there there's a huge spread of
[26:11]
of age groups and maturity uh amongst
that and that's the best way right now
[26:16]
we can figure out how to you know keep
everybody in the town happy and safe.
[26:20]
» Oh yeah many motorcycles you know in in
all for all intents and purposes
[26:26]
» and some of those we'll be looking at to
ensure that they meet the laws of North
[26:31]
Carolina as best we can.
>> Oh yeah. Thank you and everybody uh with
[26:35]
the police department for putting this
together and I think Officer Lane is a
[26:39]
wonderful representative to be
interacting with kids. I've attended a
[26:44]
bike safety course he did for Cub Scouts
and he really has the people skills to
[26:50]
relate to young people of all ages and I
think uh you know having him out
[26:54]
modeling the right behaviors and
teaching kids how to handle these things
[26:57]
safely is a great way to invest his and
our our town's time.
[27:03]
Thank you.
>> He is and so far he is he's been doing
[27:05]
it at least twice a day right now trying
to reach all of these kids.
[27:09]
» Awesome.
>> That's good.
[27:09]
» Very good.
>> Yes, sir.
[27:11]
» Thank you.
>> Thank you.
[27:12]
» Thank you, Captain.
>> Thanks, Captain.
[27:17]
» All right. Um, town manager agenda.
>> Yes, sir. I do have something this
[27:21]
evening. Um, as the board knows, we
currently lease the property that the
[27:26]
Chamber of Commerce building is on, and
that lease is um coming up for one of
[27:30]
its renewals. Um, the board has
indicated to staff that they are
[27:34]
interested in leasing a portion of the
old town hall fire station to Mustang
[27:41]
Music Outreach Program, which is a 501c3
nonprofit. Um, we've been working with
[27:47]
them um on providing community- based
music education um outreach and
[27:53]
relatable charity events that benefit
the visitors and the red um residents.
[27:58]
So through the consensus with the board,
we've been exploring different options
[28:02]
with that. What we're presenting you
with this evening is the information
[28:07]
that's governed by general statute
168272,
[28:10]
which requires a 30-day public notice
period before municipality may enter um
[28:16]
consider entering into lease
arrangements. And that's simply what
[28:20]
this is. is putting the public on notice
um that we look are looking at these two
[28:25]
um leases. The Mustang music outreach
would be a new lease and the chamber
[28:31]
would just be a continuation
and these will be on on future agendas
[28:36]
for your actions. Thank you.
>> Thank you.
[28:39]
If I could add to that too, just um
under a just to clarify or add some
[28:46]
additional um information as to why we
were um requesting that that you all
[28:52]
seek this out. Um John and I have have
been working on stay the child and one
[28:56]
of the biggest outcomes in the surveys
for stay the child was recreation
[29:01]
outside of sports. You know, we're this
county is really good at recre sports,
[29:06]
that kind of thing in terms of
recreation and we lack a little bit in
[29:11]
in outside of sports or even
alternative, you know, we have great
[29:14]
alternative sports obviously, but music,
fine arts, that kind of thing. We just
[29:19]
don't have as many opportunities. And so
that was one thing that we saw through
[29:23]
that survey in addition to the parks and
recck survey. So just it comes with a
[29:28]
little data behind it.
>> Yeah. instead of us just decid like
[29:31]
saying we you know there there's some
there's some backup to it. really the
[29:36]
decision to get to this point, like you
said, really started at the state of the
[29:40]
child conference two years ago
>> and a need that was identified that uh
[29:45]
for young people to kind of have more
options in music and the arts and such
[29:50]
where it's an opportunity and to
leverage a portion of that building for
[29:54]
this purpose, I think, and to partner
with an established nonprofit who has uh
[30:01]
give them a space to grow and they have
a lot of trust and and use already as a
[30:06]
natural partnership. So, we're Thank
you, town manager, for
[30:11]
» Yes, sir.
>> moving this forward.
[30:12]
» Thank you for the guidance.
>> Do you need any You don't need a motion

[30:27]

they've worked with us over the past
[31:16]
several years and been very beneficial
for the town and helping us implement a
[31:21]
number of complicated accounting
standards. Um we're looking for the
[31:25]
contract for fiscal year 2526
audit and then it would have the
[31:31]
