proved by the Council, the sub-
divider shall sucmit a cash escrow
agreement satisfactory to the City
Council in the amount of 1 1 12

provements will in fact be paid and to
guarantee completion of the con-
struction of the improvements with

proval of the Final Plat; all lots
in the subdivision shall be served
