RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The City is entering its ninth year of the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funding program established by Senate Bill 1 (SB 1). To utilize RMRA funding, the City needs to submit a list of proposed projects to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) annually by July 1. CTC requires that the proposed project list be included in the City’s Capital Improvement Program Budget, and adoption of the resolution will fulfill these requirements.
DISCUSSION
On April 28, 2017, the state passed SB 1 , the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 to provide additional funds to maintain local streets and roads. Since January 2018, the State Controller’s Office began submitting monthly deposits of SB 1 funding into RMRA. RMRA funding is apportioned by formula to eligible cities and counties for basic road maintenance rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on the local streets and roads system. The City is projected to receive $3,387,225 of RMRA funding in fiscal year (FY) 2026-2027.
Each fiscal year, SB 1 mandates agencies submit a list of proposed projects to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) for the allocation of the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Act (RMRA) funds . The FY 2026 -2027 project list as shown in Exhibit A and the a ccompanying
map in Exhibit B, includes major arterials and collector streets that experience high traffic volumes or serve as connections to key industrial or commercial centers.
Staff recommends the approval of the attached resolution and project list to ensure that these streets are eligible for RMRA funding. The estimated costs for pavement maintenance and rehabilitation on the listed streets exceed the available RMRA funds for FY 2026-2027. To address this funding gap, the projects will also be support ed by Gas Tax and Measure P allocations. The project list is reviewed and updated annually by July 1. In accordance with CTC requirements, the list details the project title, descriptions, project limits, scheduled completion dates, and estimated useful life.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The proposed action allows the City to receive approximately $3,387,225 in FY 2026 -2027 of RMRA funding for eligible roadways. Funds will be deposited in the SB 1 Fund (Fund 163) and allocated to eligible streets projects accordingly.
