Accordingly, pursuant to the terms of the SIA, the Developer filed the following Security Instruments with the City Clerk to guarantee construction of the Works of Improvement: • Faithful Performance Bond, No. 12114665; $1,413,000 • Labor and Materials Bonds, No. 12114665; $706,500 • Bond for Maintenance and Warranty of Improvements, No. 12114665; $211,950 • Monumentation Bond, No. 12114667; $7,000 The Developer has completed construction of the Works of Improvement, and has requested that the City Council accept the improvements and release the Security Instruments in accordance with the terms of the SIA.

FISCAL IMPACT: The Works of Improvement include both publicly maintained and privately maintained improvements. The public improvements to be accepted and subsequently maintained by the City include the off-site street improvements constructed along Bogert Trail, and the on-site public sewer system improvements.
