Traverse Sheets. The subdivider shall furnish the city engineer traverse sheets, prepared by a registered civil engineer or licensed surveyor, showing the mathematical closure within one foot to ten thousand feet of perimeter of the exterior boundary of the tract and of each block within the tract and each irregular lot.

2.

Guarantee of Title. The subdivider shall furnish to the city council a guaranty of title or letter from a competent title company certifying that the names of all persons whose consent is necessary to pass a clear title to the land being subdivided, and all acknowledgements thereto, appear on the proper certificates and are correctly shown on said map, both as to consents as to the making thereof and affidavits of the dedication where necessary. Such guaranty or letter shall be issued for the benefit of the city of Weed and protection of the city council and shall be continued complete up to the instant of recording.

3.

Improvement Agreement. In the event drainage structures, grading, paving or other required improvements have not been completed prior to presentation of the final map, the subdivider shall file an agreement for the improvement thereof by him as required by this chapter, and as may be further required by the city council or by law, and shall secure the performance thereof by a good and sufficient surety bond executed by a responsible surety company to be approved by the council or, in lieu of such surety bond, a cash deposit, which bond or cash deposit shall be in an amount equal to the cost of the improvement as estimated by the city engineer or by the city council, provided, however, that the subdivider may, at his option, in lieu of such agreement and bond or cash deposit, enter into a contract with the city council, secured by a faithful performance bond or cash deposit in the manner and condition as provided by Section 66499 of the Government Code of California and all other laws applicable thereto.

4.

Taxes. Prior to the filing of the final map the subdivider shall file with the clerk of the county a certificate from the official computing redemptions in Siskiyou County and the city, showing that, according to the records of his office, there are no liens against the subdivision or any part thereof for unpaid state, county, municipal or local taxes or special assessments collected as taxes, except taxes or special assessments not yet payable.

As to taxes or special assessments collected as taxes not yet payable, the subdivider shall file with the clerk of the county a certificate by each proper officer, giving his estimate of the amount of taxes and assessments which are a lien but which are not yet payable.

B.

Whenever any part of the subdivision is subject to a lien for taxes or special assessments collected as taxes which are not yet payable, the final map shall not be recorded until the owner or subdivider executes and files with the board of supervisors a good and sufficient bond to be approved by the board and by its terms made to inure to the benefit of the county and conditioned upon the payment of all state, county, municipal and local taxes and all special assessments collected as taxes, which at the time the final map is recorded are a lien against the property but which are not yet payable. In lieu of a bond, a deposit may be made of money or negotiable bonds in the same amount and of the kind approved for securing deposits of public money.
