Whenever the Common Council deems it expedient that new sidewalks be constructed within the city, the Council may, notwithstanding other procedures provided for by this code, adopt a resolution declaring that the construction of sidewalks is expedient and describe in such resolution with convenient certainty the location of said sidewalks and designate the property to be benefitted and assessed. The Council shall require the City Engineer to file with the City Recorder plans, specifications, and estimates of the proposed sidewalk improvement. If the Council shall find such plans, specifications, and estimates to be satisfactory it shall approve the same and shall define the boundaries of any sidewalk improvement district, if there be any. The declaration of the expediency of sidewalks, and the approval of the plans and specifications therefor may be done at one session of the Council and may be included in one resolution.
