STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution Adopting a List of Projects Funded in Fiscal Year 2023-24 by Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The City is projected to receive $1,834,514 in funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account for Fiscal Year 2023-24. This is in addition to the state gas tax funds the City receives annually, which is anticipated to be $2,087,096 in Fiscal Year 2023-24. The amount of Senate Bill 1 funds allocated to the capital improvement program (CIP) projects are based on previous projections. Any unspent or unallocated funds will be carried forward to future years. DESCRIPTION: In April 2017, the State Legislature passed, and Governor Brown approved Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Beall, Chapter 5, Statues of 2017), creating the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program to address deferred maintenance on the state highway and local street and road system. It also established a significant, stable, and ongoing increase in state transportation funding. Funds for the program are deposited into the State Transportation Fund, Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). SB 1 is projected to generate over $5 billion annually for state and local transportation improvements. Cities and counties are slated to receive $1.5 billion for repairs to local streets and Page 1 of 4 355 roads at full implementation of SB 1. According to analysis by the League of California Cities, SB 1 will double the amount of revenue cities receive from the state for local street maintenance and rehabilitation needs, with allocations to cities based on population. The RMRA receives funds from the following taxes imposed under SB 1: • A 12-cent-per-gallon increase to the gasoline excise tax. • A 20-cent-per-gallon increase to the diesel fuel excise tax, half of which will be allocated to Trade Corridors Enhancement Account (TCEA) with the remaining half to the RMRA. • A vehicle registration tax called the "Transportation Improvement Fee," based on the market value of the vehicle. • A $100 vehicle registration tax on zero -emission vehicles (ZEV) of model year 2020 and later, effective July 1, 2020. • Annual rate increases to these taxes beginning July 1, 2020 (July 1, 2021 for the ZEV fee), and every July 1 thereafter for the change in the California Consumer Price Index (CPI). The first adjustment was made on July 1, 2020 covering CPI change for two years: November 1, 2017 through November 12, 2019. RMRA funds are in addition to the traditional state gas tax funds, which have been in place for decades and are allocated by the state through the Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA). The rules associated with the use of RMRA funds are similar, but not identical to the rules associated with HUTA funds. RMRA funds must be used for projects that include, but are not limited to, the following: • Road maintenance and rehabilitation • Safety projects • Railroad grade separations • Traffic control devices • Complete streets components, which include active transportation projects, pedestrian and bicycle safety projects, transit facilities, and drainage and storm -water capture projects in conjunction with other allowable projects Page 2 of 4 356 Additionally, if a city or county has an average Pavement Condition Index of 80 or more (very good to excellent), then the city or county may spend its RMRA funds on transportation priorities other than those listed above. The City of Dublin currently has a three-year moving average Pavement Condition Index of 82. Maintenance of Effort SB 1 requires that RMRA funds not supplant existing general revenues that the City of Dublin is using on streets and roads. This is referred to as the maintenance of effort (MOE) requirement. The MOE is calculated by the State Controller based upon the City's average spending for street and road purposes for Fiscal Years 2009-10, 2010-11, and 2011-12. The City of Dublin's MOE was calculated as $1,229,320. For Fiscal Years 2023-24 through 2026-27, the City meets the MOE requirement. Reporting Requirements For the City to receive RMRA funds, SB 1 requires the annual submission of a project list to the California Transportation Commission. The project list must be adopted by the City Council by July 1 in the form of a resolution adhering to the reporting guidelines. For Fiscal Year 2023-24, Staff recommends that the City Council approve the project list to include the Annual Street Resurfacing (CIP No. ST0117) project, which is a multi -year project and has been approved by the City Council to use RMRA funds in prior fiscal years. The following new project is proposed to be funded in part with Fiscal Year 2023-24 RMRA funds. • Annual Street Resurfacing (CIP No. ST0117) for Fiscal Year 2023-24 RMRA funding: $1,123,961 This project provides for a variety of pavement surface treatments and repairs to existing City streets. The project is budgeted annually to help maintain the significant investment the City has in the street system. The project locations vary each year; in Fiscal Year 2023-24, the project will provide a slurry seal to collector and residential streets surrounding Silvergate Drive between San Ramon Road and Dublin Boulevard. Streets include Alegre Drive, Amarillo Court, Amarillo Road, Barn Hollow Court, Bay Laurel Court, Bay Laurel Street, Betlen Drive, Buckeye Court, Calle Verde Road, Casa Linda Court, Castle Court, Castle Drive, Circle Way, Corto Court, Cresta Lane, Dillon Way, Estrella Court, Hansen Drive, Kingston Place, Kolb Place, Ladera Court, Ladera Drive, Las Palmas Court, Las Palmas Way, Luna Court, Mancini Court, Manzanita Lane, Mape Way, Meadow Court, Peppertree Road, Prow Way, Rampart Drive, Reilly Court, San Sabana Court, San Sabana Road, Shadow Drive, Shadow Place, Silvergate Drive, and Tina Place.

Construction is anticipated to begin in summer 2023 and be complete in fall/winter 2023. Surface treatments and repairs completed with this project will have a useful life of between seven and 20 years.
