DISCUSSION:
On April 28, 2017, the Governor of the State of California signed Senate Bill 1 (“SB 1”), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. The “Gas Tax” funds shall be for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs on both state highway and the local street roadway system.
SB 1 emphasizes the importance of accountability and transparency in the delivery of California’s transportation programs. Therefore, eligibility of Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funding requires cities to adhere to specific documentation submittal to the California Transportation Commission (CTC).
Prior to the City of Fontana approving apportionment of the RMRA funds, a list of projects proposed to be funded by SB 1 must be adopted by the City Council at a regular public meeting.
For Fiscal Year 2025-2026, it is anticipated the City will receive $5,620,523.00 of SB 1, RMRA funds.
The Public Works & Engineering Department has identified the following list of projects for SB 1, RMRA funding use:
• Southridge Grid 52 Collector Streets Pavement Rehabilitation
• Village of Heritage Yosemite Loop Pavement Rehabilitation (Phase 1)
• Grid 48 Residential Pavement Rehabilitation
• Hunter’s Ridge/Coyote Canyon - South Pavement Rehabilitation
• Grid 26 Residential and Collector Street Pavement Rehabilitation
• Citywide Slurry Seal Pavement Maintenance
Estimated useful life will be five (5) to fifteen (15) years. The anticipated year of construction will be 2025 through 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact associated with the approval of this item is $5,620,523.00, which is the total estimated revenue in Fiscal Year 2025-2026 RMRA funding (Fund 283). The total revenue and individual projects requests are included in the FY 2025-2026 budget and will be revised at future quarterly adjustments if needed.
