RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

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 the City are aware of the projects proposed for funding in the 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 an estimated $577,404 of RMRA funding in Fiscal Year
2021-2022 from SB 1; and
WHEREAS, the City has undergone a public process to ensure public input into the
community's transportation priorities and capital improvement plans; and
WHEREAS, the City used a Pavement Management System to assist in the development
of 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 I will help the City maintain and rehabilitate 139
centerline miles of roads, 20 bridges, and add active transportation infrastructure throughout the
City this year and hundreds of similar projects in the future; and
WHEREAS, the 2019 Pavement Management Program found that the City's streets and
roads are in a "fair" condition and the revenue will help increase the overall quality of the road
system over the next decade, with the anticipation of bringing the streets and roads into a "good"
condition; and
WHEREAS, without revenue from SB 1, the City's streets and roads may continue to
degrade into a condition that would require higher costs and expenses to maintain and repair; and
WHEREAS, if the Legislature and Governor failed to act, city streets and county roads
would have continued to deteriorate, resulting in many and varied negative impacts on the
community; and

WHEREAS, cities and counties own and operate more than 81 percent of streets and roads ^
in California, and from the moment an individual opens the front door to drive to work, bike to I I
school, or walk to the bus station, they 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 local streets and the road system will reduce
drive times and traffic congestion, improve bicycle safety, and make the pedestrian experience
safer and more appealing, which leads to reduced vehicle emissions helping the State achieve its
air quality and greenhouse gas emissions reductions goals; and
WHEREAS, restoring roads before they fail reduces construction time, which results in
less air pollution from heavy equipment and less water pollution from site run-off, and
WHEREAS, the overall investment in the local streets, roads, and complete streets 1 I
infrastructure, with a focus on basic maintenance and safety, using cutting-edge technology, f I
materials and practices, will have significant positive co -benefits statewide.
