Kill Devil Hills 101 - A Digital Series

KDH 101 - A Digital Series: Town Code Information

What’s a town code?

Have you ever noticed a section symbol (§) followed by a series of numbers and then a rule that follows? The section symbol is a character used mainly to refer to a particular section of a document, such as a town code. A town code is a collection of laws passed by a local governing board, in our case, the Kill Devil Hills Board of Commissioners. The KDH Board of Commissioners is comprised of five members, including the Mayor, who are elected by the public (yes, by you).

Town laws are called ordinances and as long as they do not conflict with the laws of the state of North Carolina, these ordinances are the official laws in Kill Devil Hills. For every ordinance adopted by the Board of Commissioners, an official copy is signed by the Mayor and the Town Clerk and kept in the Town Clerk’s Office.

All ordinances passed by the Board of Commissioners are to be in full force and effect from and after their adoption unless the Board establishes a different effective date at the time of such adoption.

But, before an ordinance can be created or changed, the public (yep, you again) has the chance to offer their opinions to the Board of Commissioners at its regular meeting.

Be sure to sign up to receive emails from the Town so you don’t miss any meeting notices, https://www.kdhnc.com/list.aspx

Board of Commissioners Public Forum

Child Abuse Prevention Month

The Board of Commissioners recently adopted a proclamation designating April as Child Abuse Prevention Month.

The Town of Kill Devil Hills recognizes the importance of families, caregivers, and communities working together to provide safe, stable, and nurturing homes and communities for our children to grow and develop in a healthy manner.

In an effort to enhance awareness of child abuse, the Kill Devil Hills’ Fire Department installed pinwheels and cutouts of children at its station. They will host the display for the month of April. The pinwheel signifies the bright future all children deserve and the belief that getting it right early is less costly than trying to fix it later.

Report concerns of child abuse by calling the Dare County Department of Health and Human Services at 252-475-5500, 8:30 - 5:30 p.m., M-F. In the event of an emergency dial 911.

ADA Transition Plan Survey

The Town of Kill Devil Hills is completing an American with Disabilities Act (ADA)Transition Plan. This plan will look at challenges with accessibility and ways to improve access to Town services, buildings, sidewalks, and streets. This survey will guide the ADA Transition Plan and help to identify areas for improving our accessibility throughout the community.

This is just one way to let the Town know about accessibility in Kill Devil Hills. The Town will be hosting future opportunities for the community to provide input on where to improve access to sidewalks, multi-use paths, beach accesses, parks, services and buildings.
