TITLE: SB 1 ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT – FY 2022/23
PROJECTS
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve a Resolution for the local street maintenance and rehabilitation projects proposed to be partially or fully funded by California Senate Bill 1 (SB1) in Fiscal Year 2022/23.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a Resolution to approve the local street maintenance and rehabilitation proposed project list to be partially or fully funded by California Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, in Fiscal Year 2022/23.
BACKGROUND:
SB 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 was passed by the California Legislature and signed into law by the Governor in April 2017 to address the significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls statewide. Annually, $500 to $650 million will go to cities statewide, allocated on a per capita basis. A vast majority of the new revenues for cities will come out of the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) where cities would have to prioritize fixing their existing infrastructure first before having some additional flexibility for those funds for other transportation needs. SB 1 will provide Salinas an estimated $4.875 million in RMRA funding in FY 2022/23. In the current fiscal year, staff has utilized the City’s SB1 balance on the citywide striping and signing projects (CIP 9081), annual pavement and sidewalk maintenance (CIP 9438), design of Chip Seal 2022 for FY 2022/23 (CIP 9981), and the Bardin Road Safe Routes to School Project (CIP 9218).
To receive SB1 funds next fiscal year, the City must submit a Council-approved Resolution with the City’s road maintenance and rehabilitation proposed project list to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) by July 1, 2022. The City’s proposed list was developed through a combination of the Pavement Management System (PMS) findings, direct community feedback to Council members and staff, feedback by the community at public meetings, and transportation infrastructure assessments by City engineering and maintenance staff. Staff developed a longer list to enable flexibility in prioritizing projects and in the utilization of the City’s varied funding sources for FY 2022/23, such as SB 1, Measure X and Gas Tax.
The City may elect to reprioritize its project list at any time. Formal notification to the CTC of any changes to the list is not required. However, the Project Expenditure Report submitted to the CTC each year in December will provide an opportunity for the City to communicate such changes to the CTC as part of the regular reporting process and transparency.
The City’s latest Pavement Management System update (2020) estimated a $169 million backlog of deferred roadway maintenance. Although the funding provided by SB 1 and the other funding sources is significantly less than the amount needed, it will help the City address immediate maintenance needs annually by our maintenance staff and perform preventative maintenance measures for the roads in good and fair condition through our annual rehabilitation program. The approach at this time is preventive maintenance, which will help make our transportation infrastructure safer and more sustainable in the long term.
The following list of projects are planned to be partially or fully funded with SB 1 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account revenues.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:
Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
The staff recommendation supports the Council’s Strategic Goal of Infrastructure and Environmental Sustainability and Effective and Culturally Responsive Government.
DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION
The Public Works and Finance Departments work very closely in tracking SB 1 allocations, budgeting the funds appropriately, and adhering to the reporting requirements of the CTC.
FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:
The City will receive approximately $4.875 million in FY 2022/23, and annually in years thereafter to help fund the City’s maintenance and rehabilitation program on our road network. The FY 2022/23 funding is appropriated in the fiscal year 2023 budget.
