Home My Public Portal About09) 10B Adoption of Resolution to Approve the SB 1 Project List for FY 2020-21 MANAGEMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM Date: May 5, 2020 To: The Honorable City Council From: Bryan Cook, City Manager By: Ashley Avery, Management Analyst Subject: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 20-5472 TO APPROVE THE ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT (SB 1) PROJECT LIST FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020-21 RECOMMENDATION: The City Council is requested to: 1. Approve Resolution 20-5472 (Attachment “A”) to approve the resurfacing of various streets citywide as Temple City’s designated project for Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 2020-21 pursuant to Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB 1); 2. Direct the City Manager to include the corresponding Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs) in the FY 2020-21 City Budget including RMRA funds and the required General Fund maintenance of effort match; and 3. Authorize the City Manager to submit the required documents and information to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) for the City to receive RMRA funds. BACKGROUND: 1. On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed SB 1. SB 1 created the RMRA, the purpose of which is to provide funding to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and safety needs on both state highways and local streets. To generate this funding, SB 1 mandates adjustments and increases in fuel taxes , diesel fuel taxes, and vehicle City Council May 5, 2020 Page 2 of 3 registration fees, and provides for adjustments in future years to adjust for inflation. SB 1 includes funding for maintenance and rehabilitation of local str eets from the RMRA through the Local Streets and Roads Program. 2. On March 21, 2018, the CTC adopted the Annual Reporting Guidelines for the Local Streets and Roads Program (Guidelines). To be eligible to receive RMRA funds each fiscal year, the Guidelines require that cities submit to the CTC a list of projects that will utilize RMRA funds for the following fiscal year, typically, no later than May 1st of each year. However, due to the outbreak and response to the COVID-19 pandemic the deadline for FY 2020-21 may be extended at the CTC’s discretion. 3. On April 16, 2019, per RMRA requirements the City Council approved Resolution No. 19-5394, a project list for FY 2019-20. This project list included the resurfacing of Rosemead Boulevard, Las Tunas Drive and 3 miles of collector and local streets throughout Temple City. 4. On April 29, 2020, the California State Transportation Commission extended the deadline to July 15, 2020 for the submittal of the requisite resolution for cities to accept SB 1 funds. ANALYSIS: On November 1, 2017, the State Controller began depositing portions of the new revenue from fuel taxes and vehicle registration fees into the RMRA as prescribed by SB 1. A percentage of this funding is apportioned by statutory formula to cities and counties for road maintenance, rehabilitation, and safety projects on local streets. While the State does not provide revenue estimates, projections from the League of California Cities show that Temple City will receive an estimated $608,000 in RMRA funds annually. These funds are in addition to the fuel tax and vehicle license fee revenues that the City already receives from the Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA). SB 1 emphasizes the importance of accountability and transparency in how RMRA funds are spent. As such, cities are required to provide annual reports to the CTC regarding the projects on which the funds are spent. Prior to receiving RMRA funds each year, cities must submit to the CTC a City Council resolution approving a list of all projects proposed to be funded with RMRA funds. The resolution must include a description and location of each project, the project schedule, and the estimated useful life of the improvements. Cities must also submit annual documentation regarding all completed or in-progress projects using RMRA funds. City Council May 5, 2020 Page 3 of 3 SB1 also includes a maintenance of effort requirement. To be eligible for RMRA funds, cities must demonstrate a sustained maintenance of effort by spending General Fund money on street maintenance and rehabilitation. The mainte nance of effort funding amount is determined by the State Controller and based on General Fund expenditures for street maintenance in FYs 2009-10, 2010-11, and 2011-12. Temple City is required to allocate $105,143 annually for maintenance of effort. It is important to note that while other transportation funds including Measure R, Measure M, and HUTA may be used for street maintenance and rehabilitation, such funds may not be used for the maintenance of effort requirement; only the General Fund may be used. The State Controller will audit cities to ensure compliance with this requirement. The streets named in the RMRA project list in the attached resolution for resurfacing were selected based upon data from the Pavement Management Plan update . Approving the project list now is for the purposes of meeting the CATC guidelines; however, the City Council has the discretion to revise the list later before a project is bid. CITY STRATEGIC GOALS: Using RMRA funds to resurface various streets will further promote the City Strategic Goals of Public Health and Safety, Quality of Life, and Sustainable Infrastructure. FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed FY 2020-21 City Budget will include CIPs reflective of the project list in the attached resolution. ATTACHMENT: A.
