(a) The works board may require the owners
of abutting property to construct or repair the owners' own sidewalks
or curbs if the works board:

and
(2) adopts a final resolution to that effect.
(b) The works board must give notice of the order concerning the

complies with this requirement.

to construct the sidewalks or curbs or make the repairs as required by
the notice.
