Agenda Report
Agenda Item 4.

DATE: May 24, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Yazmin Arellano, Director of Public of Works
SUBJECT: Adoption of the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) List of Proposed Projects for FY 2022-23
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council:

1. Directs City staff to submit to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) a list of proposed projects to receive RMRA funding for Fiscal Year 2022-23.

2. BACKGROUND:

In 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill (SB) 1, also known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, to provide additional funding for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and safety needs on state highways and local street systems. Funding received from SB 1 is generated from both gasoline and diesel fuel excise taxes, vehicle registration fees, and provides for inflationary adjustments to tax rates in future years. Revenue received is allocated to the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), and available to agencies for use on street resurfacing projects through the Local Streets and Roads Funding Program. The projected revenue for Fiscal Year 2022-23 for the City of El Cajon is estimated to be $2,353,389.

SB 1 emphasizes the importance of accountability and transparency in the delivery of California's transportation programs. Therefore, in order to be eligible for RMRA funding, the statute requires cities and counties to provide basic annual reporting to the California Transportation Commission (CTC). Further, all projects anticipated to receive funding through RMRA need to be identified annually in an approved List of Proposed Projects and submitted to the CTC by July 1st. Projects identified on the list are required to include a description, location, schedule for completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement.

The current List of Proposed Projects is attached to this report as Exhibit A - RMRA 2022-23 List of Proposed Projects. All proposed streets included with this list, upon adoption, will be included in the City's Capital Improvement Program Budget. Also included for reference as Exhibit B - RMRA 2022-23 Map of Proposed Projects, is a map showing the locations of the proposed streets.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Estimated revenues from RMRA to the City of El Cajon for Fiscal Year 2022-23 are estimated to be $2,353,389.

WHEREAS, the City of El Cajon 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 communities pri orities for transportation investment; and

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Phil Ortiz, Councilmember and Gary Kendrick, Councilmember SUBJECT: Senior Wastewater Billing Postponement Program RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council directs staff to develop a Senior Wastewater Billing Postponement program for City Council consideration.

BACKGROUND:

The State of California offers a Property Tax Postponement program for qualified seniors. Under the State's program, eligible homeowners may postpone payment of their property tax on a primary residence. The repayment of the deferred property tax is secured by a lien against the property and is paid upon sale, refinancing, or transfer of the property. The State applies a 5 percent annual interest payment on the outstanding debt. A fact sheet about the State's program is attached.

The San Diego County Assessor's Office recently received a call from a concerned senior about the cost of her sewer bill. The Assessor Office's taxpayer advocate suggested the City consider a program for its sewer billing similar to the State's Property Tax Postponement program for qualified seniors.

We recommend that the City Council direct staff to present a similar program as the State's Property Tax Postponement program and analyze the impact this would have on the City's wastewater fund.

Betty T. Yee
California State Controller
Property Tax Postponement Fact Sheet .................................................................................................................... , ...................................................... .

The Stat.e Controller's Office (SCO) administers the Property Tax Postponement (PTP) Program, which allows eligible homeowners to postpone payment of current year property taxes on their primary residence. A postponement of property taxes is a deferment of current year property taxes that must eventually be repaid. Repayment is secured by a lien against the real property or a security agreement with the Department of Housing and Community Development for manufactured homes. Funding is limited and distributed on a first come, first served basis. Due to funding limitations, all who qualify may not be approved.

Eligibility requirements
To qualify, a homeowner must apply and meet all of the following criteria for every year in which a postponement of property taxes is desired:
.. >> Be at least 62 years of age, or blind, or disabled; .. » Own and occupy the property as his or her principal place of residence (floating homes, and house boats .are not eligible);
.. » Have a total household income of $45,81 O or less; .. » Have at least 40 percent equity in the property; and .. » Not have a reverse mortgage on the property.

Requirements are subject to change without notice if the law is revised. Please contact SCO to verify the current program requirements.

Delinquent and/or defaulted taxes
State law does· not allow SCO to pay for delinquent and/or defaulted property taxes that are owed on the property that is being considered for postponement. These taxes are your responsibility to pay. However, you may still qualify for postponement of current-year taxes. The amount of defaulted property taxes will be added to the amounts owed against the property to determine equity.

Manufactured home owners with delinquent and/or defaulted property taxes do not qualify for postponement.

Interest rate on postponed property taxes
The interest rate for all taxes postponed under the PTP program is 5 percent per year. Interest on postponed property taxes is computed monthly on a simple interest basis. Interest on the postponement account continues to accrue until all postponed property taxes plus interest are repaid to the state.

Example: on a PTP postponement of $1,000 in taxes, the interest would be $50 per year, or $4.17 each month.

Notice of lien or security agreement for postponed p_roperty taxes To secure repayment of the postponed property taxes, SCO places a lien against the real property with the county or a security agreement with the Department of Housing and Community Development. A lien or security agreement will remain in effect until the account is paid in full.

A one-time recording fee will be added to your account to release the lien once the account is paid in full.

Property taxes paid by a lender/mortgage company
SCO is not responsible for contacting your lender if your property taxes are currently paid through an impound, escrow, or other type of account. If you are approved for PTP, SCO will make a payment on your behalf directly to the county tax collector.

PTP does not reduce your monthly mortgage payment. Property owners are responsible for contacting their lenders and paying all amounts due.

Refund of Paid Property Taxes
If your application is approved and you have already paid your property taxes for the current-year, or if the property taxes are paid by a lender, you will receive a refund from the county tax collector.

Collection and repayment process
The homeowner may pay all or part of the balance to SCO at any time. However, postponed property taxes and interest become immediately due and payable when the homeowner does any of the following:
.. ,> Moves from the property;
.. >> Sells or conveys title to the property;
+> Dies and does not have a spouse, registered domestic partner, or other qualified individual who continues to reside in the property;
+> Allows future property taxes or other senior liens to become delinquent; or .. ,> Refinances or obtains a reverse mortgage for the property.

Requirements are subject to change without notice if the law is revised. Please contact SCO to verify the current program requirements.

Payments
You may make full or partial payments on your account at any time. All payments received are applied first toward accumulated interest and then toward the outstanding principal balance (postponed tax amount). Make your check or money order payable to the California State Controller's Office and mail it to:

California State Controller's Office
Departmental Accounting Office - PTP
P.O. Box 942850
Sacramento, CA 94250-0001
To ensure proper credit, please include your SCO account number or property address on the check or money order, and on any accompanying documents.

Account statement
SCO provides you with an account statement each year. However, you may obtain an account statement at any time by contacting SCO.
