Oakwood is required by law to pass several 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. Hilton that the resolution be passed.

Upon call of the roll on the question of the motion, the following vote was recorded:

MR. WILLIAM D. DUNCAN YEA

MR. STEVEN BYINGTON YEA

MR. ROBERT P. STEPHENS YEA

MRS. ANNE HILTON YEA

MRS. LEIGH TURBEN YEA

There being five (5) yea votes and no (0) nay votes thereon, said resolution was declared duly passed and it was so ordered.
