A.
Council
Determination
If the City Engineer determines that the final map conforms
to the applicable tentative map and its conditions of approval, the
final map shall be forwarded to the City Council. Upon receipt of
the final map, the Council shall determine if the final map conforms
to all requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and City subdivision
regulations applicable at the time of approval or conditional approval
of the tentative map. If the Council determines that the final map
does so conform, the Council shall approve the map. If the Council
determines that the final map does not conform, it shall disapprove
the map. Such final map disapproval shall be accompanied by a finding
identifying the requirements that have not been met.
B.
Approval
of Final Map by Inaction
If the City Council does not approve or disapprove the final
map within the prescribed time or any authorized extension thereof
and the map conforms to all requirements and rulings, it shall be
deemed approved and the City Clerk shall certify or state its approval
thereon. The meeting at which the City Council receives the map shall
be the date on which the City Clerk receives the map.

Whenever any part of a subdivision is subject to a lien for
taxes or special assessments collected as taxes which are not yet
payable, the final tract or parcel map shall not be recorded until
the owner or subdivider complies with the Subdivision Map Act (SMA).
If such taxes or special assessments are allowed to become delinquent,
the County shall recover same from the security required in accordance
with the provisions of the SMA.

Prior to the recordation of a final map, the subdivider shall
provide the City with a subdivision guarantee, issued by a title company
authorized to write such guarantees by California law, issued for
the benefit and protection of the City and covering all lands to be
dedicated for public use. Said guarantee shall be in the amount of
at least $1000.
(08-05)
Upon City Council approval of a final map, the proper signatures
and certificates shall be affixed thereto and the map shall be transmitted
to the County Recorder. After recordation, the subdivider shall supply
originals and prints of the map to the City as required by the City
Engineer.

The City may require additional information to be filed or recorded
simultaneously with a final map. The additional information shall
be in the form of a separate document or an additional map sheet which
shall indicate its relationship to the final map, and shall contain
a statement that the additional information is for informational purposes,
describing conditions as of the date of filing and is not intended
to affect record title interest. The document or additional map sheet
may also contain a notation that the additional information is derived
from public records or reports and does not imply the correctness
or sufficiency of those records or reports by the preparer of the
document or additional map sheet.
