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 project will be funded in-part or solely with Fiscal Year 2026-27 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account revenues:
Project Title : Pavement Rehabilitation for 36 Centerline Miles in the City of San Bernardino – Phase I (Project No: 13685)
Project Description: Asphalt cold mill and overlay, and striping improvements.
Project Location: Various Locations across the City included North Parkway Blvd W , F Street, W 34th Steet, W 35th Street, Sepulveda Ave, Wall Ave, E 14th Street, E 15th Street, Rialto Ave, and Other Locations.
Estimated Project Schedule: Start (12/2026)- Completion (6/2027) Estimated Project Useful Life: 12-15 years
SECTION 3. 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, 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. 2026-090 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 Resolution No. 2026-090
Resolution 2026-090
June 17, 2026
(4) The determination of CEQA exemption reflects the independent judgment of the City Council.

SECTION 5. Effective Date. This Resolution shall become effective immediately.
