The Nags Head Board of Commissioners voted unanimously Monday to appropriate $5,000 for the Babe Ruth World Series, which will be held on the Outer Banks this summer. The board also:
Named a narrow right-of-way that intersects E. Gallery Row near the oceanfront, south of the Carolinian Hotel, ``Oneto Lane.'' The 16-foot-wide stretch of pavement, which has never had an official name, was named for Julian Oneto, the first mayor of Nags Head who led the town when it was incorporated in 1961.
Approved Father Terry Collins as the new public information officer for the Nags Head Fire Department. Collins, a volunteer fireman, will attend a training course on dispersing public information in March.
Approved a six-year agreement between the town and the Outer Banks Worship Center to use the athletic field behind the church. Under the agreement, the town will pay the church a total of $10,000 to use the field, and the Rev. David Daniels will use that money to improve the field. Soccer, softball, baseball and other sports will be played on the field, Town Manager Webb Fuller said. Town officials also are talking to representatives of the county's recreation department about using the field for scheduled games and practices.
Unanimously passed a resolution asking the General Assembly to adopt minimum regulations about personal watercraft uses. Under the resolution, the town commissioners suggest that no one under age 14 be allowed to operate a Jet Ski, Wave Runner or other personal watercraft device; operators and riders must wear Coast Guard-approved personal flotation devices; personal watercraft cannot be operated before sunrise or after sunset; and the operator must attach the lanyard to himself, his clothes or his life jacket if the personal watercraft is equipped with a lanyard-type engine cut-off switch. by CNB
