The improvements set forth under this division are to be considered as the minimum acceptable standards. All those improvements for which standards are not specifically set forth shall have said standards set by ordinance or published rules of the city council. All improvements must meet the approval of the city council.

(b)

Prior to the undertaking of any improvements in a subdivision, the proprietor shall either deposit with the city clerk, or a city approved escrow agent, a certified check or irrevocable bank letter of credit, whichever the proprietor selects, or a surety bond acceptable to the city council, to ensure faithful completion of all improvements within the time specified. The amounts of the deposit shall be set by the city council based on an estimate by the city engineer.

Prior to the acceptance by the city of improvements in a subdivision, a two-year maintenance bond in an amount set by the city council shall be posted by the proprietor.
