Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all documents, subject to City Attorney approval. BACKGROUND On April 28, 2017, Governor Brown signed Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs on both state highways and local street and road systems. SB 1 is funded through increases in per gallon fuel excise taxes, increases in diesel fuel sales taxes, and vehicle registration fees and provides for inflationary adjustments to tax rates in future years. The State Controller will deposit various portions of this new funding into the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). A percentage of RMRA funding will be apportioned by a formula to the City of Santa Clarita (City) pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 2032(h). Page 1 SB 1 emphasizes the importance of accountability and transparency. For this reason, California Transportation Commission (CTC) staff, in collaboration with stakeholders, developed Local Streets and Roads Funding Annual Reporting Guidelines. To be eligible for SB 1 and RMRA funding, the guidelines require the City to provide annual project reporting to the CTC, specifically, a list of project(s) proposed to be funded with RMRA funding. All proposed projects must be adopted by a resolution by the City Council at a regular public meeting prior to the submission deadline of May 1, 2019. The City selected the 2019-20 Overlay and Slurry Seal Program Design and Construction project to receive the SB 1 RMRA funds. These funds will replace other funding sources that normally fund this project such as Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 8, Gas Tax, and Measure R Local Return. This project reflects the City's commitment to roadway infrastructure and supports the Santa Clarita 2020 theme of Sustaining Public Infrastructure. Specific roadway segments for this year's project will be selected as part of the design process. The project is currently in design and staff anticipates awarding a construction contract in June 2020. Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin in July 2020. ALTERNATIVE ACTION Other action as determined by the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT Upon approval of the recommended actions, $3,452,386 in SB 1 RMRA funds (267) will be earmarked for the 2019-20 Overlay and Slurry Seal Program. Appropriation of SB 1 RMRA funds will be part of the Fiscal Year 2019-20 budget.
