Sidewalks and service driveways shall be constructed of cement concrete,

Whenever one or more of the owners of property fronting upon any street
in any block desires a different location for sidewalks constructed in such
block, or any part thereof, they may in writing petition the Council for such
different location. Before acting upon any such petition, the Council shall
refer the same to the planning commission for investigation and report. After

is unlawful for any person to willfully construct, reconstruct or repair any
sidewalk and/or service driveway upon a grade or alignment contrary to the

duty of the City superintendent to make such inspections of sidewalk and/or
service driveway construction as in his or her judgment is necessary to have
full compliance with the provisions of this chapter and other ordinances that
may be applicable. (Ord. 505 § 6, 1985)
Whenever the Council shall require the owner of any property in blocks
wherein sidewalks now exist in the whole block or in the major part thereof to
construct, reconstruct, or repair sidewalks and/or service driveways, the
Council shall adopt a resolution to that effect. Notice of such resolution
shall, by the Recorder, be served upon the record owner of such property liable
to be assessed for the cost and expense of constructing, reconstructing, or
repairing sidewalks, and/or service driveways, by mail directed to the record
owner at the last post office address of such owner known to the Recorder. In
case of an owner whose post office address is unknown, a copy of the notice
shall be posted within five days (after date of mailing a notice to the owner at

and require such owner to make such improvement within thirty (30) days from the
date of the mailing of such notice. If the Council finds an unsafe or dangerous
condition existing, it may require that the work be constructed within ten (10)
days after the mailing of such notice. The Recorder shall make or cause to be
made and file in his or her office an affidavit of service of such notice. (Ord.
505 § 7, 1985)
Whenever the Council adopts a resolution directing the construction,
reconstruction, or repair of any sidewalks and/or service driveways and the
owner of the property affected fails to make such construction, reconstruction,
or repair within the time limited by the resolution, then the City
superintendent shall proceed to construct, reconstruct, or repair such walk
and/or service driveway and shall keep an accurate account of the cost of labor
and material required for such construction or repair or such walk and/or
service driveway and shall file a written report thereof with the Council,
together with a description of the real property benefited by the construction,
reconstruction, and repair of such sidewalks and/or service driveways as
determined by the Council. Such actual cost shall be increased by ten (10)
percent, to defray the cost of preparing and serving the notice, engineering and
advertising. Once the cost is computed (adding the ten (10) percent as provided
above), the amount arrived at shall constitute a lien upon the benefited
property; which lien shall be entered by the Recorder in the appropriate lien
docket of the City and shall be collected and foreclosed in the manner provided
by Oregon Revised Statutes for the foreclosure of special assessment liens.

liable to the City for any damages which the City may sustain by virtue of the
payment of any valid claim of any person on account of personal injuries or
property damages resulting to any such person by reason of the dangerous or
defective condition of the sidewalk and/or service driveway ordered by the
Council to be constructed, reconstructed, or repaired, or by reason of the lack
of any such sidewalk and/or service driveway so ordered to be constructed. (Ord.
505 § 9, 1985)

and/or service driveway in front thereof clean and clear of ice, snow, dirt,
gravel or debris for the safe use of the public at all times. Whenever any
owner, lessee or occupant of any property neglects his or her duty under this
section, it shall be the duty of the Recorder to notify him or her of such
neglect; and in case he or she then fails to make such sidewalk and/or service
driveway safe, or to clean the same or to clear the same of ice, snow, dirt,
gravel or debris within such time as the Recorder may have specified in the
notice, then the superintendent shall cause such sidewalk and/or service
driveway to be made safe or to be cleaned and shall report the expense and cost
thereof to the Council. Such cost and expense shall constitute and be declared a
lien against the property affected, which lien shall be entered in the City's
lien docket. (Ord. 505 § 10, 1985)
