If the map does not so conform, the council shall disapprove the map.
B. 
The council shall, at the time it approves a final map, accept or reject any or all offers of dedication and shall, as a condition precedent to the acceptance of any roads or easements, require that the subdivider agree to improve the roads and easements. If at the time the final map is approved, any streets, paths, alleys or storm drainage easements are rejected, the offer of dedication shall remain open, and the city council may by resolution at any later date, and without further action by the subdivider, rescind its action and accept and open the streets, paths, alleys or storm drainage easements for public use, which acceptance shall be recorded in the office of the county recorder.

In any such case, if the amount of surety bond, cash deposit, letter of credit or other security shall exceed all cost and expense incurred by the city, it shall release the remainder of such security. If the amount of the security shall be less than the cost and expense incurred by the city, the subdivider shall be liable to the city for such difference.
