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 2023-17 is a prerequisite for receipt of an estimated $4,917,993 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 2023-17, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Adopting a List of Projects for Fiscal Year 2023/24 Funded by SB 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act.”
end
Alternative Action(s):
Do not adopt the resolution and direct staff accordingly. By this action, the City would forego the $4,917,993 of SB 1 funds for Fiscal Year 2023/24 and may need to consider identifying 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 $4,917,993 in FY 2023/24 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 2023/24 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:
• Magnolia (Atlanta to Indianapolis)
• Hamilton (Magnolia to Bushard)
• Orange (Goldenwest to 17th)
• Heil (Saybrook to Bolsa Chica)
• Garfield (Brookhurst to city limits)
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:
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment do not constitute a project.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Infrastructure & Parks
