This request has been <br />reviewed and is being recommended for approval in accordance with the approved Development <br />Agreement. Approval of this reduction is contingent on the developer having a positive escrow balance in <br />the minimum amount required by the city, and the developer being current with all payments and <br />obligations required by the Development Agreement. The Development Security amount is recommended <br />to be reduced as follows: <br /> Current Security Amount Proposed Security Amount <br />1. Union Park 2nd Addition $ 765,837 $ 532,871 <br /> <br />The warranty periods for Union Park 2nd Addition public improvements are identified on the attached <br />Certificate of Completion. Twenty-five percent (25%) of the original security amount will be retained until <br />the applicable warranty periods have expired and all warranty corrective work has been completed. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT: It is the City’s goal to retain at all times during the subdivision improvements a <br />security amount that is adequate to ensure completion of all elements of the improvements as protection to <br />the city tax payers against the potential of developer default. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the City Council, as part of the Consent Agenda, <br />accept the improvements and approve the security reductions as detailed in the attached respective <br />worksheets for Union Park 2nd Addition, contingent on the developer being current with all payments and <br />obligations in accordance with the Development Agreement, including a positive escrow balance as <br />required by the City. If removed from the consent agenda, the recommended motion for the action is as <br />follows: <br /> <br />“Move to accept the improvements and approve the security reductions as detailed in the attached <br />respective worksheets for Union Park 2nd Addition, contingent on the developer being current with all <br />payments and obligations in accordance with the Development Agreement.” <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />1. Certificate of Completion – Union Park 2nd Addition. <br />2. Security Reduction Worksheet – Union Park 2nd Addition.
