we adopt the final map for a particular subdivision we will be adopting a public improvement agreement between the cityand ticd as master developer. and as routine part of a typical public improvement agreement is that any key delivery dates would be articulated in the public improvement agreement. so substituting that provision in the dda for the late outside date to be 24 months after the date of transfer to a date any date established in the pia gives us the flexibility of having the outside date be set contemporaneous with the approval of the map and infrastructure. that could potentially be where there's flex ability a date more than 24 months out or where there's a critical need for a piece of infrastructure to be developed it could set out at an early date. the date of the individual transfer is somewhat indeterminate date relative to the horizontal infrastructure. it was thought to be a more meaningful date than a specific 24 months tied to a date of transfer that was indeterminate. so that's the first change that is proposed. the second pair of changes have to do when tidc is allowed to transf
