RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution approving the Fiscal Year 2025/2026 list of projects funded by the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 under Senate Bill 1; and
2. Authorize the Public Works Director, or designee, to submit the required list of projects and accompanying resolution to the California Transportation Commission (CTC).
DISCUSSION
Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017), was passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor in April 2017, to address the significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls statewide. SB 1 is funded through increases in certain fuel excise taxes, sales taxes, and vehicle registration fees and is then deposited into the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Act (RMRA) account. A percentage of RMRA funds are continuously apportioned to eligible cities and counties by the State Controller pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (h) of Section 2032 of the Streets and Highway Code (SHC) for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on local streets and roads.
SHC Section 2034(a)(1) requires that prior to receiving an apportionment of RMRA funds in a fiscal year, the City must adopt a list of all projects proposed to be supported by the RMRA. This list must be adopted via resolution by City Council at a regular public meeting and must include a description and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for the project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement.
If the City fails to submit the required list of projects and resolutions, funds that were apportioned to the City would be redistributed to other agencies. For Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/2026, the City is
