title
Adopt Resolution No. 2024-11 Identifying a list of projects funded by SB 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 in Fiscal Year 2024/25
body
Statement of Issue:
In order to receive State of California SB 1 funding, the City is required to annually adopt a resolution that identifies City projects that will utilize these funds.
Financial Impact:
Adoption of Resolution No. 2024-11 is a prerequisite for receipt of an estimated $5,079,178 of SB 1 funding from the State, which will be deposited in RMRA Fund 1247. Funds will be used toward eligible street and transportation projects identified in this Resolution.
Recommended Action:
recommendation
Adopt Resolution No. 2024-11, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Adopting a List of Projects for Fiscal Year 2024/25 Funded by SB 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.”
end
Alternative Action(s):
Do not adopt the resolution and direct staff accordingly. By this action, the City would forego the estimated $5,079,178 of SB 1 funds for Fiscal Year 2024/25 and may need to consider other funding sources for the projects listed.
Analysis:
Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, was passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor in April 2017 to address significant transportation shortfalls statewide. Based on the City of Huntington Beach’s population, it is estimated the City will receive $5,079,178 in FY 2024/25 for use on eligible street and transportation projects. A prerequisite to receiving the funds is the submittal of a City Council resolution to identify proposed projects that will utilize this funding. The proposed Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget for FY 2024/25 identifies the use of these funds, in addition to other local funds, for the annual Arterial Rehabilitation Project. The arterial streets proposed to be fully rehabilitated are:
• Bolsa Avenue (Bolsa Chica to Edwards)
• 17th Street (Main to Palm)
The City retains the ability to alter this list as long as the funds are spent on eligible projects. Since FY 2017/18, the infusion of these funds has helped to increase the City’s overall pavement condition index (PCI).
Environmental Status:
This action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
