Authorized to proceed with the construction of speed humps along Sequoia Avenue between Hull Avenue and West Selby Lane once the fee of $400 per speed hump, as provided by the Program and as approved by this Board, has been paid. Said authorization shall terminate six months from the date of adoption of this resolution if said fees as described above are not paid within six months; and
