TO: City Council
REQUESTED BY: Stuart McKibbin, City Engineer
APPROVED BY: Robert A. Johnson, City Manager
SUBJECT: SB1 – Resolution No. 4072, Adopting Fiscal Year 2025/26 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 4072, approving the list of projects using SB-1 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funding for Fiscal Year 2025/26.
DISCUSSION:
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill 1 (SB-1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, to address transportation funding shortfalls statewide, establishing the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account in the State Transportation Fund.
As part of SB-1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act, the local agencies are required to provide Caltrans and the California Transportation Commission with a listing of proposed projects planned for the upcoming fiscal year. The list must include a project description, location/project limits, schedule, and estimated useful life. It must be adopted through a resolution approved by the City Council at a public meeting.
The forecasted SB-1 RMRA funding for Fiscal Year 2025/26 (9th year of SB-1 funding) for San Jacinto is $1,411,303. Based on this funding forecast, the Engineering Department has prepared the attached Resolution No. 4072 that reflects the City’s top priorities and/or planned improvements for FY 2025/26, in compliance with SB-1 mandate that states pavement rehabilitation must be prioritized until the local agency can bring up the pavement condition to a state of good condition, which is a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) rating of 71-100. According to the California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment 2020, the City of San Jacinto Pavement Condition Index rating of 50-60 is at higher risk.
SB-1 requires local agencies to provide a status report on the prior year projects that were adopted by the City Council as of December 1 of each year. The Engineering Department is responsible for complying with all the reporting requirements and will submit the status report for FY 2025/26 by December 1, 2025.
Based on the SB-1 requirements, the City Engineering Department has prepared the SB 1 RMRA Resolution No. 4072, recommending the following new projects for implementation in Fiscal Year 2025/26 (based on PCI below 70):
