Mr. Stephens explained that this is an annual resolution that is the first step of Oakwood's 2022 street lighting program.

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 City Council will not 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 our 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:

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