(b) Upon payment to the engineer or surveyor for setting the final monuments, the subdivider shall present to the legislative body evidence of the payment and receipt thereof by the engineer or surveyor. In the case of a cash deposit, the legislative body shall pay the engineer or surveyor for the setting of the final monuments from the cash deposit, if so requested by the depositor. (c) If the subdivider does not present evidence to the legislative body that the engineer or surveyor has been paid for the setting of the final monuments, and if the engineer or surveyor notifies the legislative body that payment has not been received from the subdivider for the setting of the final monuments, the legislative body shall, within three months from the date of the notification, pay to the engineer or surveyor from any deposit the amount due. (d) The legislative body may authorize a public officer or employee otherwise qualified to prepare or approve parcel maps or final maps as defined in Title 7 of Division 2 to release or reduce the amount of the cash deposit to pay the engineer or surveyor for setting the final monuments pursuant to the conditions specified in this section. The legislative body may prescribe additional rules related to this authorization.
