SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Department: Public Works
Prepared by: Bill Guerin,
Director of Public Works
City Manager Approval: ________
TOPIC: SENATE BILL 1: 2020-21 PROJECTS
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FY 2020-21 PROJECTS LIST FOR SENATE
BILL 1: THE ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution approving the FY 2020-21 projects list for Senate Bill
1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act, and appropriating funding for listed projects.
BACKGROUND: For years, California’s streets and roads have been tremendously
underfunded, and municipalities and agencies have deferred needed maintenance on State and
local roads. The State gasoline tax (a percentage tax on each gallon of gas purchased) is the
largest source of funding for local road maintenance and infrastructure projects and two major
factors have contributed to a loss in revenue over the years statewide; (1) gas prices have fallen
significantly and remained low since 2013, and (2) vehicles are becoming more fuel efficient.
Former California Governor Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 1: The Road Repair and
Accountability Act on April 28, 2017 to address the need for additional funding for transportation
and infrastructure in California. Senate Bill 1:
• Increases per gallon fuel excise taxes
• Increases diesel fuel sales taxes and vehicle registration fees
• Provides for inflationary adjustments to tax rates in future years
Senate Bill 1 requires cities and counties to provide basic annual project reporting to the
California Transportation Commission (CATC) for all projects that will utilize the new SB 1 Road
Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funding.
In addition, prior to receiving RMRA funds for the fiscal year, a city or county must submit to the
Commission a list of projects proposed to be funded with new RMRA funds. The proposed
projects must be included in a city or county budget that is adopted by the applicable city council
or county board of supervisors at a regular public meeting. The approval of this resolution is
urgent since the deadline to submit the list of eligible projects for the 2020-21 fiscal year to the
CATC is on May 1, 2020.
At the conclusion of each fiscal year in which RMRA funds are received and expended, cities
must submit documentation to the CATC that includes the following information for each
completed RMRA project:
• A description including location;
• Total cost;
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
• Completion date; and
• Estimated useful life of the improvement.
ANALYSIS: Senate Bill 1 nearly doubled the revenues the City of San Rafael receives from the
State for road infrastructure and transportation improvement projects, from roughly $1.1 million
per year to $2.2 million. The additional funding available is factored into the project planning in
the Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
Per the state guidelines, RMRA funds may be used towards “Complete Street” components, in
addition to direct repairs to streets. These include pedestrian and bicycle safety projects, transit
facilities, and drainage and stormwater capture projects in conjunction with any other allowable
project.
The following table summarizes our RMRA funds received and spent to date for specified
projects:
FY 2017-18 Received $356,507
FY 2017-18 Spent* $16,094
FY 2018-19 Received $1,112,230
FY 2018-19 Spent* $77,267
FY 2019-20 Received (proj.) $1,003,873
FY 2019-20 Spent (proj.)** $1,888,729
FY 2020-21 Avail. RMRA Reserve $490,520
*FY 2017-18 and FY 2018-19 RMRA funds were expended on the design of the Lincoln Avenue
Curb Ramps project, design of the Merrydale pathway connector, and design of resurfacing
Smith Ranch Road.
**FY 2019-20 RMRA funds will be expended on the remaining design contracts for Lincoln
Avenue Curb Ramps, Merrydale Pathway design, and construction of resurfacing Smith Ranch
Road.
Staff anticipates to the City will receive $1,106,233 in FY 2020-21 in RMRA funding. The FY
2020-21 funds will be utilized for the Francisco Blvd East Resurfacing project and Bungalow
Avenue Resurfacing project.
See Attachment 1 for descriptions and detail for the FY 2020-21 RMRA project list.
FISCAL IMPACT: RMRA revenues will be deposited into Gas Tax Fund (#206), and projects
will be expended from the Gas Tax Fund (#206). Expenditure details for all RMRA projects will
be submitted to the State on an annual basis per the Road Repair and Accountability Act
guidelines.
Finally, there is a Maintenance of Effort (MOE) requirement with receiving RMRA funding.
Pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 2036, a city or county must annually expend
from its general fund for street, road, and highway purposes an amount not less than the annual
average of its expenditures from its general fund during fiscal years 2009–10, 2010–11, and
2011–12. If a city or county fails to meet the MOE in a fiscal year, they can make it up in the
following fiscal year.
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 3
The following are the City’s general fund expenditures in street and road repair for the three
fiscal years used for the MOE:
FY 2009-10 FY 2010-11 FY 2011-12 AVERAGE
Annual street
and road
expenditures
$3,286,015 $2,131,621 $3,516,476 $2,978,037
Figures are based on the numbers reported to the State Controller’s Office in the annual streets
and roads report. The City has satisfied the MOE requirement for RMRA funds as streets and
roads expenditures are currently higher than their FY 2009-10 to FY 2011-12 average.
OPTIONS:
1. Adopt the resolution which approves FY 2020-21 projects list funded by Senate Bill 1.
2. Do not adopt the resolution and direct staff to revise the list of RMRA-funded projects.
3. Do not adopt the resolution and provide direction to staff.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution approving the FY 2020-21 projects list for Senate Bill 1: The Road Repair
and Accountability Act, and appropriating funding for listed projects.
