Resolution no. 2026-XXX
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FULLERTON, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING A LIST OF PROJECTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 FUNDED BY SB 1: THE ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2017 WHEREAS, the Legislature passed Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017) and the Governor signed into law in April 2017 to address significant statewide multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls.
WHEREAS, SB 1 includes accountability and transparency provisions to make Fullerton residents aware of projects proposed for funding in the community and projects the City completed each fiscal year.
WHEREAS, the City must adopt by resolution a list of projects proposed to receive fiscal year funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), created by SB 1, which must include a description and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for project completion and the estimated useful life of the improvement.
WHEREAS, the City will receive an estimated $4,036,949 in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year 2026-2027 from SB 1.
WHEREAS, this SB 1 funding will enable the City to continue essential road maintenance and rehabilitation projects, safety improvements, repairing and replacing aging bridges and increasing access and mobility options for the traveling public that would not have otherwise been possible without SB 1.
WHEREAS, the City underwent a public process, including Infrastructure and Natural Resources Advisory Committee review and recommendation, to ensure public input into Fullerton transportation priorities and the project list.
WHEREAS, the City used a pavement management system to develop the SB 1 project list to ensure the City uses revenues on the most high-priority and cost-effective projects that also meet community priorities for transportation investment.
Whereas, SB 1 funding will help maintain and rehabilitate two roadway projects in the City this year and at least one similar project each year into the future.
WHEREAS, the 2023 California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment found that the streets and roads are in an at-risk condition. City does not have sufficient annual funding to appropriately rehabilitate and maintain City streets based on the City 2024 Pavement Management Plan. The SB1 revenue provides a significant portion of the funding available to Fullerton for capital projects to improve roads.
WHEREAS, the SB 1 project list and overall investment in local streets and roads infrastructure with a focus on basic maintenance and safety, investing in complete streets infrastructure and using cutting-edge technology, materials and practices, will have significant positive benefits to residents and businesses.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FULLERTON RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
