The State Controller deposits various portions of this new funding into the newly created Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). A percentage of this new RMRA funding is apportioned by formula to eligible cities and counties. Prior to receiving an apportionment of RMRA funds from the State Controller in a fiscal year, cities and counties must submit to the California Transportation Commission a list of projects proposed to be funded with RMRA funds. The proposed action adopts Resolution No. 2019-C11 identifying the projects the City will fund with its apportionment of 2019-2020 RMRA funds. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council take the following action: 1)Adopt Resolution No. 2019-C11 identifying the projects the City will fund with its apportionment of 2019-2020 RMRA funds. DISCUSSION: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 was created by Senate Bill 1, approved by a two-thirds majority of the Legislature, and signed by Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. on April 28, 2017. The new law provides a new and much needed infusion of money to maintain and rehabilitate the state highway and local streets system. It is projected to raise a total of $54 billion over the next ten years, divided between state and local governments. Caltrans and other state agencies are due to receive roughly half of that amount, $26 billion. The other half will go to local roads, transit agencies, and an expansion of the state’s growing network of pedestrian and cycle routes. The funds will be generated by a combination of APPROVED CITY COUNCIL 4/15/2019 Projects to be Funded with 2019-2020 RMRA Funds April 15, 2019 Page 2 higher gas and diesel taxes at the pump, new road improvements fess assessed on vehicles at the time of registration, and a special fee on zero-emission vehicles.

A percentage of the funding is apportioned by formula to eligible cities and counties pursuant to the Streets and Highways Code. The City is projected to receive $826,820 in Fiscal Year 2019-2020. Prior to receiving an apportionment of RMRA funds from the State Controller in a fiscal year, cities and counties must submit to the California Transportation Commission a list of projects proposed to be funded with RMRA funds. Staff proposes to fund the following projects with its Fiscal Year 2019-2020 apportionment of RMRA funds: • Industrial Roads Pavement Rehabilitation Project o This project will rehabilitate the pavement on several industrial streets including Loren Avenue from Foothill Blvd to the end of the cul-de-sac, Coney Avenue from Foothill Blvd to 8th Street, Miller Ave from Foothill Blvd, to Industrial St, Georgia Ave from Foothill Blvd, 8th Street, and Industrial Street from Coney Ave to Vernon Ave. • Alley Pavement Rehabilitation Project o This project will rehabilitate the pavement on several alleys bounded by 11th Street to the north, Crescent Dr to the south, Orange Ave to the west, and Angeleno Ave to the east. These road segments were specifically selected since they are identified in the City’s Pavement Management System Report with a low Pavement Condition Index, meaning the proposed segments have reached their useful life and are in need of repair. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action. The City is projected to receive $826,820 in Fiscal Year 2019-2020 from the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. Prepared by: Reviewed and Approved: Daniel Bobadilla, P.E.
