Based on Iowa Law, the Council may order the construction of permanent sidewalks upon any street or court in the City and may specially assess the cost of such improvement to abutting property owners in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 384 of the Code of Iowa. The abutting property owner will not be responsible for the cost of installing ADA ramps. In situations where ADA ramps are required the portion of the cost associated with the ramp is the economic responsibility of the City.
