sidewalk costs, and then a fourth piece of legislation that specifically states the properties and dollar amounts where assessments shall take place.
Thereupon, it was moved by Mr. Stephens and seconded by Mr. Epley that the resolution be passed.
Mayor Duncan explained the difference between resolutions and ordinances. Resolutions can be passed in one meeting because they only require one reading. Ordinances require two readings and can be passed at the second meeting.
Upon call of the roll on the question of the motion, the following vote was recorded:
There being five (5) yea votes and no (0) nay votes thereon, said resolution was declared duly passed and it was so ordered.
DETERMINING TO PROCEED WITH THE REPAIRING OF SIDEWALKS AND APPURTENANCES THERETO ON FORRER BOULEVARD AND CERTAIN OTHER STREETS BETWEEN CERTAIN TERMINI, IN THE CITY OF OAKWOOD, OHIO, PROVIDING THAT ABUTTING PROPERTY OWNERS REPAIR THE SAME.
A copy of the ordinance, having been placed on the desks of each member of Council prior to introduction, was read by title.
Mr. Stephens explained that this this is an annual ordinance that is the second step of the 2019 Sidewalk, Curb and Apron Project. Again, this year’s program will cover all streets within the area bounded by Forrer Boulevard, Far Hills Avenue, Patterson Road, Acorn Drive, and Shroyer Road.
This was a first reading of the ordinance, so Mr. Stephens made no motion.
DECLARING THE NECESSITY OF IMPROVING CERTAIN STREETS BETWEEN CERTAIN TERMINI IN THE CITY OF OAKWOOD, OHIO, BY LIGHTING THE SAME WITH ELECTRICITY.
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 another annual resolution that is the first step of the 2020 street lighting program. Like the sidewalk resolution, Oakwood is required by law to pass several pieces of legislation to provide street lighting each year. The first is this resolution, declaring the necessity of street lighting throughout the city. Mr. Stephens shared that he will also be introducing as a first reading tonight the second piece, the “Ordinance to Proceed” for the project, but there will not be a vote on that ordinance until the April meeting. The third piece of legislation, an ordinance to levy assessments for certain street light costs, will be introduced as a first reading at the April meeting, followed by a final assessment ordinance to be introduced in July.
Thereupon, it was moved by Mr. Stephens and seconded by Vice Mayor Byington that the resolution be passed.
Upon call of the roll on the question of the motion, the following vote was recorded:
