SYNOPSIS:

FISCAL IMPACT:  NONE

 

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

 

The City Council on December 8, 2003, approved the original bond for infrastructure improvements in the amount of $19,538.  The developer, Silver Oak, L.L.C., Ron Grubb, Principal, 3301 106th Street, Urbandale, IA 50322, has requested a reduction in the required surety since much of the required improvements have been made.  The Engineering Department has confirmed that much of the required work has been completed, but the amount of work remaining needs to have surety in the amount of $8,828 to make sure the remaining improvements will be in place when the development in the plat is completed.
