(A) Whenever the Town Council determines a sidewalk within the town should be repaired, the Town Council may forthwith give notice to the abutting property owner by serving such notice by sending a copy thereof by registered mail to the property owner of record at the County Recorder. If the address of such property owner is unknown, or the real estate is vacant or unoccupied, or if contacting owner is not deemed to be expedient, then the Town Council shall post a copy of the notice on the property in a conspicuous place, requiring the property owner to repair the sidewalk within 30 days, or have a documented plan of repair with the town, from the date of the notice.
(B) Prior to any action which may result in damage or removal of a sidewalk, using matching funds or not, the property owner must notify the Town Council and have the sidewalk evaluated by a town employee.
(C) Further, in the event the property owner shall fail to repair any sidewalk after notice is given
by the Town Council, the town shall proceed to repair such sidewalk and the town will be entitled to file a lien.
(D) The town will only share the expense once, and any subsequent repairs needed by said property, as determined by Town Council, will be the sole responsibility of the property owner.
