WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017

Governor in April 2017 in order to address the significant multi-modal transportation

WHEREAS, SB 1 includes accountability and transparency provisions that will
ensure the residents of San Rafael are aware of the projects proposed for funding in our
community and of which projects have been completed each fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, prior to receiving funding from the Road Maintenance and
Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) created by SB 1, the City Council must adopt a resolution
listing all San Rafael projects proposed to receive RMRA funding, including 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 $1,173,580 in RMRA funding in
Fiscal Year 2021-22 from SB 1; and
WHEREAS, the funding from SB 1 for Fiscal Year 2021-22 will help the City to
maintain and rehabilitate streets and roads, essential roadway drainage projects, and
bicycle and pedestrian improvements throughout the City this year; and
WHEREAS, without revenue from SB 1, the City, would have otherwise been
unable to fund these important transportation improvements and projects; and
WHEREAS, the SB 1 project list, and overall investment in our local streets and
roads infrastructure with a focus on basic maintenance and safety, investing in complete
streets infrastructure, and using cutting-edge technology, materials and practices, will all
have significant positive co-benefits statewide;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of San
Rafael, State of California, as follows:
1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct.
2. The City Council hereby approves the Fiscal Year 2021-22 list of projects planned
to be funded with SB 1 revenues, as follows:
