A copy of the resolution, having been placed on the desks of each member of Council prior to introduction, was read by title.

Mr. Stephens explained that this is an annual resolution that is the first step of the 2023 Sidewalk, Curb and Driveway Apron Project. This year's program area covers all city streets west of Far Hills that were not repaired as part of last year's program.

Oakwood is required by law to pass three (3) pieces of legislation in order to carry out this program and assess the sidewalk costs. The first piece is this resolution, which declares the necessity of sidewalk repairs in these parts of the city. The second piece, the “Ordinance to Proceed” for the project will also be introduced. After the project concludes, there will be a third piece of legislation, an ordinance to levy assessments for certain sidewalk costs.

Thereupon, it was moved by Mr. Stephens and seconded by Mrs. Turben that the resolution be passed.
