VIA: SERGIO GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
FROM: ROBERT DELGADILLO, P.E., PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER
DATE: JUNE 5, 2023
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION IDENTIFYING A LIST OF PROJECTS THE CITY
PROPOSES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023-2024 FUNDED BY SB1: THE ROAD REPAIR
AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2017
BACKGROUND:
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill (SB) 1, which is known as the Road Repair and
Accountability Act of 2017, to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs
on both the state highway and local streets systems. 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. 2023-C26 identifying the
projects the City will fund with its apportionment of 2023-2024 RMRA funds.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions:
1)Adopt Resolution No. 2023-C26 identifying the projects the City will fund with its
apportionment of 2023-2024 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account.
2)Authorize staff to carryover existing RMRA funds from the 2022 & 2023 Residential Roadway
Rehabilitation Project to 2023-24 Fiscal Year budget and CalSMART system.

ANALYSIS:
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
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.
The State Controller deposits various portions of this new funding into the newly created Road
Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account. 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
approximately $1,200,000 in Fiscal Year 2023-2024. 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 2023-2024 apportionment of RMRA funds.
The apportioned RMRA funds for the Council approved 2022 & 2023 Residential Roadway
Rehabilitation Project awarded to Toro Enterprises, Inc. on April 17, 2023, have not been fully utilized
in the current fiscal year. The project will carry over to the upcoming fiscal year. Staff proposes to
carryover these existing funds in the 2023-24 Fiscal Year budget and CalSMART system.
The proposed project is to be funded with Fiscal Year 2023-2024 RMRA funds include:
Gladstone Street Rehabilitation Project
This project will rehabilitate the pavement on Gladstone Street from the westerly City limits to
the easterly city limits with a 3-Inch Cold Mill and 3-Inch Asphalt Concrete Overlay.
Proposed Schedule for Completion: June 2024
Estimated Useful Life: 15-20 years without major repair work required.
Staff proposes to fund the following project with its Fiscal Year 2022-2023 apportionment of RMRA
funds:
2022 & 2023 Residential Roadway Rehabilitation Project (combined projects listed below)
FY 2021-2022 Residential Roadway Rehabilitation Project

No. 2022-C37 with Cape Seal, Slurry Seal and Asphalt Concrete Overlay treatments.
