in effect

19.16.140 - Final map - City engineer processing and approval. A. Upon receipt of the final map, the city engineer shall check same for correctness of surveying data, the adequacy of certificates of dedication, compliance with conditions of approval of tentative map, and any other matters or features which require checking in order to insure that the map complies with the provisions of this title and of the Subdivision Map Act. If the final map complies in all respects with the tentative map as approved, if the subdivider has fulfilled all the conditions imposed by the director in connection with the provisions of the tentative map, and if the final map complies with the provisions of this title and the Subdivision Map Act, the city engineer shall endorse his or her certificate on the map in the form prescribed by the Subdivision Map Act and approve the map. The city engineer, by written finding, may waive the requirements of this subsection when the failure to conform is the result of a technical or inadvertent error which in the determination of the city engineer does not materially affect the validity of the map pursuant to the provisions of Government Code Section 66473. B. The city engineer shall accept, accept subject to improvement, or reject any and all offers of dedication of land for public use shown on the map, and the city clerk shall thereupon transmit said map to the clerk of the county board of supervisors for submittal to the county recorder; provided that the city engineer shall not endorse his or her certificate on or approve the map until the required improvements set forth in the approval of the tentative map have been installed or the subdivider has entered into an agreement to install such improvements. C. If the map does not comply with the provisions of this title and the Subdivision Map Act or does not conform to the approved or conditionally approved tentative map, the city engineer shall disapprove the map as provided in Section 19.04.060. D. The city engineer shall notify the city council at its next regular meeting after receipt of a final map that the city engineer is reviewing the map for final approval. The city clerk shall provide notice of the city engineer's pending decision on a final map by attaching and posting the notice with the city council's regular agenda and mailing the notice to interested parties who request notice. The city engineer shall approve or disapprove the final map within ten days following the meeting of the city council that was preceded by the clerk's notice. E. The city council shall review the delegation of authority to the city engineer hereunder annually in conjunction with its budget process. (Prior code § 9231; Ord. 26386.)
