(A) The City Council may, by resolution, require the owners of lots and premises to construct or repair sidewalks in the public streets adjacent to and abutting upon the lots and premises. Prior to the passage of the resolution, the City Council shall set a date for a public hearing on the question of whether such a resolution shall be passed, and the property owner who would be affected by the resolution shall be given not less than ten-days’ written notice of the public hearing, and shall be advised that they may attend the public hearing in person or may submit written comments regarding the proposed sidewalk repairs. The written notice shall further describe the nature of the repairs or construction which is being contemplated by the City Council.
(B) Following the public hearing, the City Council may pass a resolution requiring the construction or repair of the sidewalk in question. The resolution shall contain the name and address of the property owner required to perform the construction or repairs, the address of the sidewalk proposed for construction or repair, and the specifications for construction or repair of the sidewalk. The resolution will further provide that the property owner shall have the period of time as designated by the Council to accomplish the required construction or repairs, provided that the time shall be made not less than 30 days from the date of service of the resolution upon the property owner. Service of the resolution shall be made upon the property owner by the City Clerk by mailing the same by first-class mail, and obtaining a proof of mailing from the post office, with the resolution mailed to the address of the property owner as it appears on the tax rolls of the city; or delivering the resolution in person to the property owner. The time for construction or repair shall commence running from the next day following the date of service of the resolution upon the property owner.
