BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1.The foregoing recitals are true and correct.
SECTION 2.The following list of newly proposed projects will be funded in-part or solely with Fiscal Year 2024-25 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account revenues:
Project Title: Street Rehabilitation Phase I - 14 locations (Project No: 13630) Project Description: Asphalt coldmill and overlay, and striping improvements.
Project Location: Mayfield Ave, Western Ave, Gilbert St, 14th St, Hardt St, Drake Dr, Orange St, Electric Ave, Varsity Ave, College Ave, Roosevelt Ave, Washington Ave, 34th St, Mountain View Ave.
Estimated Project Schedule: Start (12/2024)- Completion (6/2025) Estimated Project Useful Life: 12-15 years
SECTION 3.The following previously proposed and adopted projects may also utilize Fiscal Year 2024-25 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account revenues in their delivery.
With the relisting of these projects in the adopted fiscal year resolution, the City is reaffirming to the public and the State our intent to fund these projects with Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account revenues:
No previous projects will utilize FY2024/25 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Funding.
SECTION 4. As the decision-making body for the project, the City Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in the administrative record for the proposed project.
Based upon the facts and information contained in the administrative record, including all written and oral evidence presented to the City Council, the City Council finds, as follows:
(1) The administrative record has been completed in compliance with CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City's Local CEQA Guidelines;
(2) The proposed project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15301 (Class 1 -Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines because it involves street rehabilitation. Additionally, the City Council finds this Resolution is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in that the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty, as in this case, Resolution No. 2024-146
Resolution 2024-146

that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
(3) The application of the Class 1 categorical exemption is not barred by one of the exceptions set forth in the CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 because Pavement Rehabilitation Resolution No. 2024-XXX does not present any unusual circumstances; would not damage scenic resources, including any resources in the area of a Scenic Highway; would not be utilized on a hazardous waste site; and would not impact historic resources of any kind; and (4) The determination of CEQA exemption reflects the independent judgment of the City Council.
SECTION 5.Severability. If any provision of this Resolution or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications, and to this end the provisions of this Resolution are declared to be severable.
SECTION 6. Effective Date. This Resolution shall become effective immediately.
APPROVED and ADOPTED by the City Council and signed by the Mayor and attested by the City Clerk this 3rd day of July 2024.
