    Amends New Bern's City Charter, SL 2016-41, by adding that the City's development regulations may require the construction of sidewalks as part of a development project. Also allows the regulations to allow the developer to pay the City instead of constructing the sidewalk; payment must be in the amount of cost of the sidewalk construction, to be placed in a designated fund for sidewalk construction throughout the City. Requires that the City, not the developer, determine whether the developer constructs the sidewalk or pays construction costs in lieu of construction.
