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 2020 Sidewalk Repair Project. This year's program will cover all streets within the area bounded by Irving Avenue, Springhouse Road, Far Hills Avenue, Patterson Road and Acorn Drive.

City Council is required by law to pass four (4) 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. 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. After the project concludes, there will be a third piece of legislation, an ordinance to levy assessments for certain 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 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

MRS. ANNE HILTON ....................................................................................... YEA
MR. CHRISTOPHER EPLEY ....................................................................................... YEA
