A. Need Determination. Where the City determines that a need for New Sidewalk Construction on an existing street that is not scheduled for a public street improvement project, the matter may be reported to City Council, together with a request that the City Council refer it to the Plan Commission for a public hearing and subsequent recommendation. The Plan Commission's report of its findings and recommendations is then submitted to the City Council. If the Plan Commission recommends that the sidewalk be constructed on the street, the City will initiate the resolution procedure outlined in § 402.02(E).
B. Resolution of Necessity. In the event the division head of Engineering Services, through exercise of his or her professional judgment, determines that sidewalks are needed in a particular location or area in order to correct a hazardous safety condition, the Director will report to City Council such determination along with a resolution of necessity to construct the sidewalks. City Council may rely upon the professional judgment of the division head of Engineering Services as full justification of the need for sidewalks at the locations under consideration.
C. Project Management. Upon enactment of the resolution of necessity, the project will be handled in a manner similar to that used for the Sidewalk Rehabilitation Program as outlined in § 402.03.
