MEETING DATE: June 6, 2023
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Adopting a Project List for FY 2023- 2024 Funded by SB 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution and authorize the City Manager or his designee to complete, sign, and submit all required documentation for receipt of Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funds to the appropriate State and other agencies.
BACKGROUND
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill 1, which is known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. SB 1 increased per gallon fuel excise taxes (12 cents), diesel fuel sales taxes (20 cents), and vehicle registration fees; and provides for inflationary adjustments in future years. A percentage of this funding is deposited into the RMRA account and is apportioned by formula to eligible cities and counties pursuant to Streets and Highways Code (SHC) Section 2032(h) for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on the local streets and roads system. Lomita’s estimated RMRA amount for FY 2023-2024 is $517,568. In addition, the City expects to have unspent RMRA money from FY 2022-23.
In order to be eligible for RMRA funding, statute requires cities and counties to provide basic annual RMRA project reporting to the California Transportation Commission (CTC).
Prior to receiving an apportionment of RMRA funds, a city or county must adopt by resolution a list of projects to be funded with RMRA funds and submit it to the CTC annually by July 1
st
. The project list must include a project description, location, estimated start and completion date, and estimated useful life of the improvement.
The RMRA project list for 2023-2024 will include:
