APPROVING A LIST OF PROJECTS FUNDED IN FISCAL YEAR 2017-18 BY SENATE BILL 1,
THE ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2017
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 in
order 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 include 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 and estimated $330,716 in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year
2017-18 from SB 1; and
WHEREAS, the City has undergone a robust public process to ensure public input into our
community's transportation priorities; and
WHEREAS, the City used the adopted Capital Improvement Program and a Pavement
Management System to develop the SB 1 project list to ensure revenues are being used on the most
high-priority and cost-effective projects that also meet the community's priorities for transportation
investment; and
WHEREAS, the funding from SB 1 will help the City maintain and rehabilitate streets, bridges,
sidewalks, traffic control devices, and help add active transportation infrastructure throughout the City
this year and into the future; and
WHEREAS, the 2016 California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment found
that the City's streets and roads are in an "very good" condition and this revenue will help us maintain
the overall quality of our road system; 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 81 percent of streets and roads in
California, and from the moment we open our front door to drive to work, bike to school, or walk to the
bus station, people are dependent upon a safe, reliable local transportation network; and
WHEREAS, modernizing the local street and road system provides well-paying construction
jobs and boosts local economies; and
WHEREAS, the local street and road system is also critical for farm to market needs,
interconnectivity, multimodal needs, and commerce; and

WHEREAS, police, fire, and emergency medical services all need safe reliable roads to react
quickly to emergency calls and a few minutes of delay can be a matter of life and death; 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, which leads to reduce vehicle emissions helping the City and
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 overall investment in our local streets and roads
infrastructure with a focus on basic maintenance and safety, investing in complete streets
infrastructure, and using cutting-edge technology, materials and practices, will have significant
positive co-benefits statewide.
