288 improvements therein. Councilman McNulty offered resolution accepting the final map of Redwood Terrace No.I and authorizing execution of agreement, see- onded by Councilman Fletcher. Under the question there was considerable dis- cussion in regard to.a surety bond executed by two members of the Land Develop - meat Company in the amount of $800000 to assure the letting of a contract for the performance of public improvements. Mr. Ingersoll advised the signers had sworn under oaths that they were financially responsible for the amount of the bond. City Attorney McCarthy advised that the bond is in accordance with the subdivision ordinance. City Manager Blom raised a question about the wording in regard to improvements. He said he would prefer that the wording be changed from "gunniting the banks" to "lining the banks with concrete", his reason for the request being that gunniting is a patented process. The engineer for the subdivision, W. G. Frost, agreed to this change. On roll call, the resolution was unanimously adopted with Oouncilmen Anderson and Britsohgi absent. There was some further discussion in regard to surrounding unsubdi- videdrproperty. Mr. Ingersoll stated that the plan was to include certain sections around the outside of the property included in the map in the assess - meet district. City Attorney McCarthy advised that the City of Redwood City will not allow the filing of a map of a subdivision if there are any liens against the property. City Council was advised by both Mr. Frost and Mr. Werder that they understood this provision, City Manager Blom stated he understood it had been the intent of the subdividers to add a fringe of lots to the final map and that this had not been done. Mr.Frost advised that it had involved going to the Planning Commission again before filing the final map and that it had been decided not to add the lots. Councilman Armstrong moved, seconded by Oouneilman Granger, that it is the understanding of the City Council that when a map of adjacent area is presented, any.•lien against that subdivision will be,satisfied before the map is presented. Motion passed unanimously.
