CITY OF SANTA CLARITA AGENDA REPORT
CONSENT CALENDAR
CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:1
DATE: April 28, 2020
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION TO INCORPORATE SENATE BILL 1, ROAD REPAIR
AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2017, LOCAL STREETS AND
ROADS, ROAD MAINTENANCE AND REHABILITATION FUNDS
INTO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
PRESENTER: Damon Letz
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council:
Adopt a resolution declaring the incorporation of a list of projects proposed to be funded by
Senate Bill 1, Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, Local Streets and Roads, Road
Maintenance and Rehabilitation for Fiscal Year 2020-21 into the Capital Improvement
Program.
2. 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
2034(a). The current estimated allocation for Fiscal Year 2020-21 is $4,119,277. Due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, which has impacted the demand for gas, the actual allocation may be
lower.

Packet Pg. 191
Once the final allocation is determined, staff will prioritize the project scope of work to stay
within the adopted budget.
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 projects 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, 2020.
The City selected the 2020-21 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 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 2021. Construction is
tentatively scheduled to begin in July 2021.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Upon approval of the recommended action, estimated allocations of SB 1 RMRA funds (Fund
267) will be earmarked for the 2020-21 Overlay and Slurry Seal Program. Appropriation of SB 1
RMRA funds will be part of the Fiscal Year 2020-21 budget.

RESOLUTION NO. 20-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA CLARITA, CALIFORNIA, DECLARING THAT IT HAS INCORPORATED A LIST
OF PROJECTS FUNDED BY SENATE BILL 1, THE ROAD AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT
OF 2017, LOCAL STREETS AND ROADS, ROAD MAINTENANCE AND
REHABILITATION FUNDS INTO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
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 of Santa Clarita (City) are aware of the project(s) proposed for funding
in our community and which projects have been completed each fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, the City must adopt by resolution a list of all project(s) proposed to receive
funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), created by SB 1, in
the City's Annual Operating 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 is estimated to receive $4,119,277 in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year
2020-21 from SB 1, the actual revenues from gas tax may be lower due to the COVID-19
pandemic; and
WHEREAS, this is the fourth year in which the City is receiving SB 1 funding and will
enable the City to continue essential road maintenance and rehabilitation projects, safety
improvements, repairing and replacing aging bridges, and increasing access and mobility options
for the traveling public that would not have otherwise been possible without 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 its Five -Year Pavement Preservation Program 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 numerous
streets, roads, and bridges and add active transportation infrastructure throughout the City
through this year's project, and hundreds of similar projects 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 "at -risk" condition and this revenue will help
Packet Pg. 193
25.a
increase the overall quality of the road system and over the next decade will bring streets and
roads into a "good" condition; and
WHEREAS, without revenue from SB 1, the City would have otherwise been delaying or
canceling projects throughout the community; and
WHEREAS, if the legislature and governor failed to act, City streets would have
continued to deteriorate, having many and varied negative impacts on our community; 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 reduced vehicle emissions
helping the state achieve its air quality and greenhouse gas emissions reduction 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 SB 1 project list and overall investment in our local street and road
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.
