[Adopted 7-18-1994 by resolution]
A. 
A definite set amount of funds will be included in each yearly budget to finance the Sidewalk Construction Program. Only the amount budgeted each year will be expended on this program.
B. 
Depending on the number of residents requesting to participate in this program, the order of allotment of funds will be determined each year. If the number of applicants exceeds the allotted funds for that year, a lottery format will be used. This determination will be left to the discretion of the Village Board each year.
This program will include only sidewalk construction; that is, the replacement of sidewalks in place at the time that this program goes into effect. Construction of new sidewalks; that is, installing sidewalks where at this time no sidewalks exist, may be undertaken at a later time. The Sidewalk Construction Program will be amended at that time.
A. 
A request shall be made to the Village, at which time the Highway Superintendent will inspect the sidewalk to be replaced and will make a determination as to the number of square feet of sidewalk that need replacement.
B. 
The homeowner and the Highway Superintendent must agree on the number of square feet of sidewalk which will be replaced.
The Highway Superintendent will issue a set of standard specifications of the Village of Yorkville and a permit to the homeowner. The permit will be signed by the Highway Superintendent and the homeowner. The homeowner will retain one copy of the permit.
A. 
A Village of Yorkville claim must be filed within 30 days of completion of the replacement of the sidewalk.
B. 
Only the specified Village of Yorkville claim will be accepted for payment. This claim must be accompanied by the paid invoice from the contractor or supplier of the material used. Signatures of the contractor and the homeowner must be certified by a notary public.
C. 
This claim must also be certified by the Highway Superintendent as to his satisfaction of the work done and the number of square feet of replacement sidewalk authorized in the permit.
[Amended 5-25-2016 by L.L. No. 7-2016]
When all requirements are met, the homeowner will be reimbursed at the rate of $3.50 per square foot for the construction of replaced sidewalk.
A. 
The period of construction in this program will be from May 1 through September 30 of each year. No claims will be honored for sidewalk replacement work done after September 30 of each year.
B. 
Applications for this program may be submitted at any time; however, the cutoff date for work to be done in the current year's construction will be July 30 of each year.
Applications which may not be successful in the lottery, if that is the case, or submitted too late for construction to be done in the current year will be given preference the following year.
