ff Recommendation
I
t is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026 -15 (Attachment A) approving the project list, incorporating the projects into the City’s FY 2026-27 Budget, and approving the expenditure plan for Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funds (Senate Bill 1) for FY 2026-27, Cycle 10.
Ba
ckground
O
n April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, establishing a transportation funding program . This program addresses deferred maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs on the state highway system and local streets and roads. SB 1 increased per-gallon fuel excise taxes and diesel fuel sales and use taxes; imposed vehicle registration -related fees; and provides for ongoing inflationary adjustments.
O
n November 1, 2017, the State Controller began depositing SB 1 revenues into the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) . A portion is apportioned by formula to eligible cities and counties. In 2018, voters approved Proposition 69, which restricts these revenues to transportation purposes.
RM
RA funds may not supplant existing local street and road expenditures, and agencies must meet maintenance of effort (MOE) requirements to remain eligible. Adoption of this resolution will preserve the City’s eligibility for RMRA funding.
Di
scussion
F
or FY 2026- 27, the City anticipates receiving $3 ,540,958 in RMRA funding. Prior to receiving an apportionment in any fiscal year, the City must submit a list of projects to be funded by RMRA funds to the California Transportation Commission (CTC). All projects proposed for funding must be included in the Council-adopted City budget.
S
taff's proposed list of projects (Exhibit A of the Resolution No. 2026- 15) focuses on repair and rehabilitation of local residential and arterial streets throughout the City. These roads were selected based on their Pavement Condition Index (PCI), as outlined in the Agenda Item No.
Consent (10)
City's Pavement Management Program. PCI values range from 0 to 100, with higher values indicating better pavement conditions. The proposed projects have very low PCI values and are considered in "poor" condition, typically requiring an overlay or complete reconstruction. The estimated total cost of the proposed projects may exceed the projected $3,540,958 in RMRA funding for FY 2026-27.
After submitting the project list to the CTC, staff may revise the project list, as needed, to align with the $3,540,958 RMRA allocation and will report any changes during the annual expenditure reporting to the Commission.
Financial Impact
$3,540,958. RMRA funding is being allocated, so there is no impact on the General Fund.
These projects will be included in the Department’s Capital Improvement Project budget as part of the ongoing annual budget process for City Council consideration.
City Council Priority
This item supports the Reliable Infrastructure Pillar of Excellence.
Suggested Motion
I move that the City Council adopt resolution No. 2026- 15 approving the FY 2026- 27 RMRA project list and expenditure plan (Cycle 10) and incorporating the projects into the City’s FY 2026-27 Budget.

This program addresses deferred maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs of the state highway and local streets and roads.

In 2018, voters approved Proposition 69, which restricts these revenues to transportation purposes. RMRA fund s cannot supplant existing local street and road maintenance expenditures, and the agency must meet MOE requirements to remain eligible. It is recommended that the City Council adopt resolution No. 2026-15 approving the FY 2026- 27 project list and expenditure plan (Cycle 10) and incorporating the projects into the City’s FY 2026-27 Budget.

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-15
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SIMI VALLEY APPROVING THE FY 2026 -27 ROAD
MAINTENANCE AND REHABILITATION PROJECT LIST
AND EXPENDITURE PLAN (CYCLE 10) AND AMENDING
THE FY 2026-27 BUDGET
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017) was passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor in April 2017 , to address the significant multi -modal transportation funding shortfalls statewide; and
WHEREAS, SB 1 includes accountability and transparency provisions that will ensure the residents of our City are aware of the projects proposed for funding in our community and which projects have been completed each fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, the City must adopt, by resolution, a list of all projects proposed to receive funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) created by SB 1 in the City budget, which must include a description and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for the project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement; and
WHEREAS, the City will receive an estimated $3,540,958 RMRA funding in FY 2026-27 from SB 1, Cycle 10; and
WHEREAS, this is the tenth year in which the City is receiving SB 1 funding and will enable the City to continue essential road maintenance and rehabilitation projects, safety improvements, repairing and replacing aging bridges, and increasing access and mobility options for the traveling public that would not have otherwise been possible without SB 1; and
WHEREAS, the City used a Pavement Management System to develop the SB 1 project list to ensure revenues are being used on the highest -priority and cost-effective projects that also meet the community’s priorities for transportation investment; and
WHEREAS, SB 1 funding will support additional City street maintenance and rehabilitation this year and in future years; and
3 Res. No. 2026-15
WHEREAS, the latest California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment found that the City streets and roads are “at risk” condition, and this revenue will help the City increase the overall quality of its road system, and over time, bring our streets and roads into a better condition; and
WHEREAS, without revenue from SB 1, the City would have otherwise been maintaining fewer streets throughout the community; and
WHEREAS, if the Legislature and Governor failed to act, City streets and County roads would have continued to deteriorate, having many and varied negative impacts on our community; and
WHEREAS, cities and counties own and operate more than eighty-five (85) percent of streets and roads in California, and residents depend on a safe and reliable local transportation network; and
WHEREAS, maintaining and preserving the local street and road system in good condition will reduce drive times and traffic congestion, improve bicycle safety, and make the pedestrian experience safer and more appealing, reducing vehicle emissions and helping the State achieve its air quality and greenhouse gas emissions reductions goals; and
WHEREAS, restoring roads before they fail also reduces construction time which results in less air pollution from heavy equipment and less water pollution from site run-off; and
WHEREAS, the SB 1 project list and investment in City streets and roads, including basic maintenance, safety improvements, and complete streets elements will provide significant statewide co-benefits.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SIMI VALLEY DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1 . The City Council approves the foregoing recitals and incorporates them by reference.
SECTION 2. The City Council approves amending the Streets and Roads Program budget for FY 2026- 27 to incorporate the attached list (Exhibit A) of street rehabilitation projects at various locations throughout the City to be funded with Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account revenues.
