(All Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California adopt Resolution 2024-187 approving the Measure I Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan for Fiscal Year 2024/25 through Fiscal Year 2028/29 and Measure I Expenditure Strategy.
Executive Summary
Adoption of Resolution No. 2024-187 will approve the Five-Year Measure I Capital Improvement Plan (MICIP) and approve the Measure I Expenditure Strategy. The Resolution is required to continue to receive Measure I Local Street Project Funds (Local Funds). The projects identified in the Resolution have been previously identified in the City’s Capital Improvement Plan and will not impact the General Fund.
Background
In November 1989, voters approved Measure I that authorized the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) to impose a one-half of one percent retail transaction and use tax. This tax was applicable throughout the County for a period of 20 years beginning April 1, 1990, and extending to March 31, 2010, and is commonly known as the 1/2-Cent Sales and Road Tax (Measure I). In November 2004, voters approved an extension of the 1/2-cent sales tax for an additional 30 years from April 1, 2010, through March 31, 2040.
Discussion
The City is required to adopt a Five-Year MICIP annually. This plan identifies projects and the estimated Measure I expenditures. This is an annual requirement 2 2

to continue to receive Local Funds. Local Funds can be spent on any eligible transportation purpose determined to be a local priority. This includes improvements for local streets, major highways, state highway, transit, and other improvements that maximize the use of transportation facilities. Expenditure of Local Funds shall be based upon a Five-Year MICIP adopted annually by the governing body of each jurisdiction after being made available for public review and comment.
The Five-Year MICIP only relates to the expenditure of Measure I funds, and each agency is required to update their plan annually. If approved, the City would be committed to expending funds in accordance with the first year of the MICIP. The second through fifth years are estimates for planning purposes and the MICIP will be evaluated annually to update projects and estimates identified in future years.
The proposed Resolution includes language asserting that the City of San Bernardino will meet its base year level Maintenance of Effort of approximately $1,075,643 for FY 2024/25. Pursuant to Policy VLS-25 of the Measure I Strategic Plan, jurisdictions provide an annual statement in the resolution of the governing body adopting the Five-Year MICIP which acknowledges that the jurisdiction will maintain General Fund expenditures for transportation related construction and maintenance activities at the required base year level within the fiscal year.
City staff is also recommending approval of the proposed Five-Year MICIP for FY 2024-2029 included as Exhibit A of the Resolution. The projects shown in the five years of the MICIP reflect the projects and budget amounts included in the City's previously adopted Capital Improvement Plan budget. However, only projects in the first year of the budget are funded in FY 2024/25. The City is projected to receive $5,833,203 in Measure I pass-thru funds for fiscal year 2024/25 and Exhibit A of the Resolution indicates the way those funds have been allocated in the City’s Capital Improvement Budget. SBCTA also requires the local agencies to provide an "Expenditure Strategy", included as Exhibit B of the Resolution.
Changes to the MICIP during the year are permitted, subject to approval of plan amendments by Resolution of the Mayor and City Council. 2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The Measure I Five-year MICIP is consistent with Key Target No. 1d: Improved Operational & Financial Capacity - Create a framework for spending decisions as it reflects the most current and highest priority need for use of Measure I Funds in FY 2024/25.
Fiscal Impact
Total projected Measure I funds to be received in FY 2024/25 is $5,833,203 and the City of San Bernardino’s base year level Maintenance of Effort is projected to be $1,075,643. The projects listed in the proposed Five-Year MICIP Fiscal Year 2024/25 - 2028/29 for Measure I Local Expenditures for the City of San Bernardino have previously been identified in the City's Capital Improvement Plan. 2 2
