[CC 1992 §425.120; Ord. No. 591 Art. VI, 3-6-2000]

1. 
Declare any bond or other approved surety device to be forfeited, pursue legal and equitable action to obtain necessary funds from the sureties to cause satisfactory completion and installation of all improvements and utilities;
2. 
Declare an applicable improvements guarantee agreement to be breached and pursue legal and equitable action to cause satisfactory completion and installation of the improvements and utilities;
3. 
The Board may extend the time limit set for satisfactory completion of the improvements and utilities for up to two (2) years upon the request of the subdivider and his/her showing of a reasonable necessity for such extension. In the event that an extension of the time limit is granted, the Board may require further assurances for completion in the form of a performance bond or other equitable surety device; or
4.
