BAC
KGROUND
On April 28, 2017, the Governor Signed into law Senate Bill (SB) 1, which is known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. SB1 legislation increased the per-gallon fuel excise taxes ($0.12 per gallon), as well as increased diesel fuel sales taxes and vehicle registration fees. The use of SB 1 funds - focus on using the new funds for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on both the State Highway and local streets and roads system. Jurisdictions and agencies that receive SB 1 funding are required to report back to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) on how those funds are to be expensed or how they were expensed, this required reporting is done on an annual basis.
On November 1, 2017, the State Controller (Controller) began to deposit various portions of this new funding into the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). Although the exact amount has not been determined by the Controller for Fiscal Year 2026-27, the Town of Colma’s RMRA apportionment will include an estimated $41,583 in funds that will be expensed per SB 1 Accountability and Transparency Guidelines, adopted on March 21, 2018.
AGENDA ITEM #2
Staff Report – 2026-27 RMRA Project List Page 2 of 3
ANALYSIS
The Town of Colma must submit to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) a list of projects to be funded with RMRA funds. To simplify the reporting and administration of the RMRA funds, the proposed Project List consists of adding the RMRA funds to various maintenance activities on portions of Serramonte Boulevard, Colma Boulevard, Collins Avenue, and Junipero Serra Boulevard. This programmed maintenance work is to take place during FY 2026-27.
The proposed Project List for Senate Bill 1 (SB1) Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funds for FY 2026-27 is a re-listing of the projects previously adopted by the City Council.
No new projects have been added or removed from this list. This will allow the projects to utilize the FY 2026-27 RMRA apportionment.
If approved by the City Council, the adoption of the project list will appropriate $41,583 in SB 1 to Serramonte Boulevard, Colma Boulevard, Collins Avenue, and Junipero Serra Boulevard for various roadway maintenance needs. If approved, Town Staff by way of a Resolution, will provide the annual RMRA project list and expenditure reporting to the CTC.
Detailed Description of the Project/Bid
Requirements have been imposed by the State as part of the State Gas Taxes that began collection on November 1, 2017. In order to receive an allocation of the Gas Tax revenue, a list of proposed projects to be funded with SB 1 funds must be adopted. For Fiscal Year 2026-27 the Town is projected to receive $41,583 revenue in gas tax revenue and is included in the proposed budget (See attachment “C”). The Town is also required to demonstrate that the revenue and expenditures are included in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Annual Budget. The FY 2026- 27 SB 1 funds are programed for various roadway maintenance activities on Serramonte Boulevard, Colma Boulevard, Collins Avenue, and Junipero Serra Boulevard, to be implemented during FY 2026-27.
FISCAL IMPACT
The 2026-27 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) allocation of $41,583 will be programmed for roadway maintenance activities on Serramonte Boulevard, Colma Boulevard, Collins Avenue, and Junipero Serra Boulevard.
ENVIRONMENTAL
The City Council’s adoption of the resolution is exempt from environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per CEQA Guideline 15378(b)(4) as a governmental fiscal activity. It is also exempt on an independent basis pursuant to CEQA Guideline 15301 as an action providing funding for the maintenance of an existing street.
ALTERNATIVES
The recommended actions are a requirement of the State program implementing the tracking of expenditures for the Gas Tax increase adopted by the State Legislature. If the action is not taken prior to July 1, 2026, the Town could potentially lose the estimated RMRA Gas Tax Funds for Fiscal Year 2026-27.
