W
HEREAS, SB 1 includes accountability and transparency provisions that will ensure Oakland residents are aware of the projects proposed for funding in the community and which projects have been completed each fiscal year; and
W
HEREAS, the City of Oakland (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 list must include a description and location of each project, a proposed schedule for the project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement; and
W
HEREAS, the City will receive an estimated Eleven Million Eighty-Five Thousand One Hundred Seventy-Six dollars ($11,085,176) in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year 2024-25 from SB 1; and
W
HEREAS, this is the eighth year in which the City is receiving SB 1 funding that will enable the City to continue essential road maintenance and rehabilitation projects, lighting operations, safety improvements, and increasing access and mobility options for the public that would not have otherwise been possible without SB 1; and W
HEREAS, the City collects community requests for street maintenance needs and uses OAK 311 (SeeClickFix) to maintain a list of pr ioritized maintenance needs based on existing conditions and level of urgency to ensure SB 1 revenues are being used on the most high-priority and cost-effective projects that also meet the community’s priorities for transportation investment; and

WHEREAS, SB 1 funds will be used by the City for overall investment in local streets and roads infrastructure with a focus on basic maintenance and rehabilitation, safety projects, investing in complete streets infrastructure, will have significant positive co-benefits citywide and statewide; and
