EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Pursuant to the requirements of SB 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, the City must adopt a resolution approving a list of projects proposed to be eligible for receiving fiscal year funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), created by SB 1. The projected revenue in Fiscal Year 2026-27 RMRA funding from SB 1 that the City would be eligible to receive is $226,085.
BACKGROUND:
SB 1 has resulted in funding from the RMRA to local agencies for road maintenance and rehabilitation projects, complete street components, and critical safety projects. RMRA funds can also be used as a local match for State and Federal funds for eligible projects. To be eligible under SB1 a local agency must annually submit by July 1 an adopted resolution listing projects proposed to be funded with RMRA funds to the California Transportation Commission (CTC).
These funds are population-based apportionments to local agencies. The State Controller’s Office will determine if SB 1 expenditures were eligible during subsequent audits.
DISCUSSION:
The City manages paving and other street-related infrastructure work in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) which lists potential projects together with anticipated time frame, estimated cost, and sources of funds. CIP project types may vary to include but not be limited to pavement preservation and/or repair, bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure and safety, highway safety improvements, etc. There is no “use-it-or-lose-it” requirement in SB 1, so multi-year projects are eligible. Per the requirements of SB 1 an application for use of RMRA funds together with an adopted resolution of proposed projects list typically must be submitted to the CTC by July 1 each year.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The Fiscal Year 2026-27 CIP Budget, was adopted by Council on June 2, 2026, proposes a 2027 Citywide Pavement Improvement Project. Table 1 below lists the 2027 Citywide Pavement Improvement Project, the City is reaffirming to the public and the State its intent to continue funding the projects with RMHA revenues. With the adoption of the attached resolution of proposed projects list and submitting to the CTC by July 1 the City will be eligible for SB 1 funding.
