A. Developers
shall be required to furnish a guarantee that actual construction

within two (2) years after the approval of the final plat. The period
of time specified herein shall be expressed in the guarantee. The
developers shall construct and complete all required improvements
in utilities under one of the following procedures, as designated
by the Board of Aldermen:
1. Performance contract. Prior to final plat approval,
the Board of Aldermen shall require an agreement signed by the developer
in which the developer guarantees completion of all required improvements
within a reasonable period specified by the Board. The agreement shall
be secured by a pledge obligation of the developer under the agreements
and shall not be assigned without the expressed written consent of
the Board of Aldermen. Upon a breach of any part of the agreement
by the developer, the Board may, at its option, pursue any legal or
equitable remedy necessary to ensure completion and payment by the
subdivider for the required improvements and utilities.
2. Performance bond. Prior to the final plat approval,
the Board of Aldermen shall require a bond or such other surety as
it may deem appropriate to secure the construction to be completed
within a reasonable period specified by the Board of Aldermen and
expressed in the bond or other surety, in an amount and with surety
and conditions satisfactory to the Board of Aldermen.
3. Bond released. When any escrow amount held by the
City to secure actual construction and installation on each component
of the improvements or utilities shall be released within thirty (30)
days of completion of each category of improvement or utility work
to be installed, minus a maximum retention of five percent (5%) which
shall be released upon completion of all improvements and utility
work. Any such category of improvement or utility work shall be deemed
to be completed upon certification by the City that the project is
complete in accordance with the ordinance of the City, including the
filing of all documentation and certifications required by the City
in complete and acceptable form. The release shall be deemed effective
when the escrow funds are duly posted with the United States Postal
Service or other agreed-upon delivery service or when the escrow funds
are hand delivered to an authorized person or place as specified by
the owner or developer.
4. Cash. In lieu of the performance contract and/or
performance bond, the developer may deposit with the City such sum,
in cash, as the Board of Aldermen may require, sufficient to secure
the completion of all improvements.
