RESOLUTION NO. ______
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
BURBANK APPROVING A PROJECT LIST FOR THE ROAD
REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT (SB 1) FOR FISCAL
YEAR 2023/24.
THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK FINDS:
A. Senate Bill 1 (“SB 1”), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017) was passed by the California Legislature and signed into law by the Governor in April 2017 in order to address the significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls statewide.
B. SB 1 includes accountability and transparency provisions that will ensure the residents of our City are aware of the projects proposed for funding in our community and which projects are in progress or have been completed each fiscal year.
C. The City of Burbank (“City”) must adopt a list of all projects proposed to receive funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (“RMRA”), created by SB 1 by resolution, which must include a description and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for the project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement.
D. The City will receive an estimated $2,650,059 in RMRA funding for Fiscal Year 2023/24 from SB 1.
E. The City used a Pavement Management System to develop the SB 1 project list to ensure revenues are being used on the most high-priority and cost- effective projects that also meet the community’s priorities for transportation investment.
F. Adoption of this resolution is not a project within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 (14 CCR §15378), which states that a project does not include “government fiscal activities, which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. This resolution adopts, and authorizes submission for approval of, a list of projects proposed to receive funding under SB1 and the RMRA. If such funding is approved, the activity involves resurfacing of existing streets that may be categorically exempt from CEQA under the existing facilities exemption (14 CCR §15301). Accordingly, adoption of this resolution is not a project and no further environmental review is necessary.
THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK RESOLVES:
1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct.
2. The list of projects planned to be funded in fiscal year 2023/24 with Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account revenues, as set forth in Exhibit A (which was
presented as Attachment 2 to the April 4, 2023 staff report), is hereby approved. The project description is the resurfacing of the listed roads to maintain a useful life of twenty years. Project construction is anticipated for FY 2023/24, subject to receipt of the SB 1 funds.
3. The Public Works Director is authorized to submit the Council approved listed streets to the California Transportation Commission (“CTC”).
4. The Financial Services Director is directed to include the list set forth in Attachment 2 for Council consideration during the City FY 2023/24 budget process, along with a budget request of the use of Senate Bill 1 Gas Tax funds in the amount of $2,650,059.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this __ day of April, 2023.
