§ 5557.07.
Whenever any portion of a road to be improved by the board of county commissioners
lies within the corporate limits of a municipal corporation, and the legislative authority
of such municipal corporation desires to improve any part of the road within such
municipal corporation to a greater width than is contemplated by the proceedings for
the improvement by the board, such legislative authority shall, at any time before
it approves the surveys and profiles for such improvement, determine by resolution
the additional width to which it desires such road, or part thereof, to be improved
and cause a copy of the resolution to be filed with the board. The board shall cause the county engineer to prepare the necessary surveys, plans,
profiles, cross sections, estimates, and specifications for improving such road or
part thereof to an additional width. The estimates for the improvement shall set forth the probable cost of so much of
the improvement as is made necessary by the proposed increase in width. After such surveys, plans, profiles, cross sections, estimates, and specifications
have been completed by the engineer he shall file a copy with the board and all subsequent
proceedings shall be conducted in the manner provided in sections 5557.02 to 5557.06, inclusive, of the Revised Code . The legislative authority of the municipal corporation may assume all that part
of the estimated cost of such improvement rendered necessary by the increased width,
or such part of the additional expense as may be agreed upon between the legislative
authority and the board.
