TO: htonorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Department of Public Works
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2017 (SB1) PROJECT LIST FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Find that the proposed actions are not "projects" as defined in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Public Resources Code Section 21065 and Section 15378(b)(4) and (5) of the State CEQA Guidelines and, as such, are not subject to environmental review; and
2. Adopt a resolution approving of the Road Repair and Accountability Act (SB1) project list for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026.
BACKGROUND:
On April 28, 2017 Governor Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill (SB) 1 - The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, which allocates revenues to cities and counties to fund basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on the local streets and roads system. To receive an apportionment of Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) - SB1 funds each year, cities and counties must submit to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) a list of proposed projects annually. The FY 2026 list is due to the CTC by July 1 , 2025 and all proposed projects must be adopted by resolution by the City Council at a regular public meeting and should not be adopted as part of cities' operating or Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budgets per state guide lines. The FY 2026 allotment of RMRA funds will be appropriated as part of the Adoption of the FY 2026 - 2030 CIP Budget.

asphalt, a noise-reducing pavement material that consists of a regular asphalt concrete mixed with crumb rubber made from recycled tires. This sustainable paving practice diverts tires from the waste stream. In addition, rubberized asphalt pavement lasts longer, is more resistant to cracking, reduces vehicle noise, provides for better skid resistance, and retains a darker color that provides contrast to new pavement markings.
Schedule: Resurfacing will be completed in FY 2026.
Total Estimated Project Cost: $5,900,000
Total RMRA (SB1) Funds FY 2026 Appropriation: $3,700,000 COUNCIL POLICY CONSIDERATION:
The above project and action address City Council's goals to maintain fiscal responsibility and stability; and improve, maintain, and enhance public facilities and infrastructure.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
CEQA excludes from environmental analysis those actions that are not "projects" as defined by State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. That section excludes from the definition of "project" the creation of government funding mechanisms and fiscal activities which do not yet commit the lead agency to any specific project, and also excludes organizational or administrative governmental activities that do not result in physical changes to the environment. The actions proposed herein are budgetary and part of the City's normal administrative process as it takes early steps to prepare for the possibility of undertaking a project, and therefore they are not yet "projects" as defined by CEQA. As the City becomes more certain it will undertake one of the projects, and before it commits itself to the project, the appropriate environmental analysis will be conducted and brought to the appropriate City body for approval.
