Honorable Lee Fellinger, Mayor
And Members of the City Council
Of The City of Ames, Iowa
In Re: Ordinance to Repeal the Provisions of the Municipal
Code on Ordering and Assessing the Costs of Sidewalk
Repair and Construction
Dear Mayor Fellinger and Council Members:
Under date of October 13 , 1978, I submitted to the Council
a report of revisions that should be made to the Municipal
Code. The Council directed that, as time permits, I should
prepare and submit to the Council the ordinances required
to make the revisions I recommended.
The ordinance enclosed herewith is to repeal Article V of
Chapter 31 which sets out procedures for ordering and
assessing the cost of sidewalk construction and repair. The
provisions to be repealed are based on the Iowa Code of
1966 and are no longer a reliable guide to the proper pro-
cedure. The proper procedures for ordering and assessing
the costs of sidewalk repair and construction are set out
in Chapters 364 and 384 Code of Iowa 1977 . No local
ordinance is needed.
Respectfully submitted,
John R. Klaus
City Attorney
