Updated January 2025 – Gem Lake Consolidated Land Use Ordinance No. 131 142 provide that in the event the required improvements are not completed in one year, all amounts held under the cash escrow agreement shall be automatically turned over and delivered to the City and applied by the City to the cost of completing the required improvements. If the funds available within the said cash escrow agreement are not sufficient to complete the required improvements, the necessary additional cost to the City shall be assessed against the subdivision. Any balance remaining in the cash escrow fund after such improvements have been made and all expenses therefore have been paid, shall be returned to the subdivider. In instances where a letter of credit is used in lieu of a cash escrow or performance and indemnity bond, the said letter of credit shall be in a form satisfactory to the City, and the terms thereof shall substantially comply with all requirements as set forth in Minnesota Statutes as amended, which statutes relate to Surety Bonds. 3. The City of Gem Lake shall where appropriate, require of a subdivider submission of a Warranty/Maintenance Bond in the amount equal to the original cost of the improvements, which shall be in force for one year following the final acceptance of any required improvements and shall guarantee satisfactory performance of the said improvements. 4. Reproducible “as built drawings” as required by the City Engineer, shall be furnished to the City by the subdivider giving details on all required improvements. Such “as built drawings” shall be certified to be true and accurate by the registered engineer responsible for the installation of the improvements. 5. All the required improvements to be installed under the provisions of this Ordinance shall be approved by and subject to the inspection of the City Engineer. All of the City’s expenses incurred as the result of the required improvements shall be paid either directly, indirectly or by reimbursement to the City by the subdivider. 2.
