If the amount of the surety bond or cash deposit exceeds all costs and expenses incurred by the city, the city shall release the remainder of such bond or

certification less the cost and expense incurred by the city. The subdivider shall be liable to the city for any costs additional to those secured, in an action to be brought therefore by the city.

F. Cash Payments.

After the issuance of a receipt by the city engineer for the final map and improvement drawings, the city engineer and city planner shall examine them as to conformity with the tentative map, as to the sufficiency of affidavits and acknowledgments, correctness of surveying data, mathematical data and computations, and such other matters as require checking to insure compliance with the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and this chapter. The city engineer and city planner shall return one copy of the map to the subdivider or his engineer, showing necessary corrections. If the final map is found to be in correct form and the matters shown thereon are sufficient, the city engineer and city planner shall endorse their approval thereon and transmit it to the City Council for approval.

At its first regular meeting following the filing of the final map, the agreement, the bonds or other security and the fees, or within ten days following the filing thereof, the council shall consider the final map, the plan of subdivision improvements, and the offers of dedication in accord with the requirements of this chapter. The council may reject any or all offers of dedication and the city engineer shall certify on the final map such action by the council. If the council determines that the map is in conformity with the requirements of this chapter, it shall approve the final map. (Ord. 2017-01 (part), 2017: prior code § 9195)

If the council shall determine that the final map is not in conformity with the requirements of this chapter or the tentative map, it shall disapprove the map, specifying its reason or reasons therefore and the city clerk shall advise the subdivider in writing of such disapproval and the reason or reasons for such disapproval. If the council has disapproved any map, the subdivider may file with the city clerk a map altered to meet the approval of the council. In such case the subdivider shall conform to all the requirements imposed upon him by this chapter when filing the first final map with the city, and the same proceedings shall be required as are prescribed by this chapter upon the filing of the first final map with the city.

After a final map is filed in the office of the county recorder, such a recorded final map may be modified by a certificate of correction or an amending map if the city finds that there are changes in circumstances that make any or all of the conditions of such a map no longer appropriate or necessary and that the modifications do not impose any additional burden on the present feeowner of the property, and if the modifications do not alter any right, title or interest in the real property reflected on the recorded map and the local agency finds that the map, as modified, conforms to the provisions of Section 66474 of the Subdivision Map Act. Any such modifications shall be set for public hearing as provided for in Section 16.16.100. The legislative body shall confine the hearing to consideration of the action on the proposed modification. (Ord. 2017-01 (part), 2017: prior code § 9206)
