SECTION 1. Recitals.
A. Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes
of 2017), was passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor in April
2017, to address the significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls statewide.
B. Senate Bill 1 includes accountability and transparency provisions to ensure that
the residents and business community of our City are aware of the projects proposed for
funding in our community and which projects have been completed each fiscal year.
C. The City must adopt by resolution a list of all projects proposed to receive funding
from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), created by Senate Bill
1, which must include 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.
D. Streets and Highways Code Section 2032(h)(2) specifies that 50 percent of the
balance of revenues deposited into the RMRA, after certain funding is set aside for
various programs, will be continuously appropriated to cities and counties by the State
Controller pursuant to the formula in Streets and Highways Code Section 2103(a)(3)(C)(i)
and (ii).
E. The City will receive an estimated $5,216 in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year 2023-
2024 from Senate Bill 1.
F. In order to receive an allocation or apportionment pursuant to Streets and
Highways Code Section 2032, the City shall annually expend from its general fund for
street, road, and highway purposes an amount not less than the average of its
expenditures from its general fund during the 2009-10, 2010-11, and 2011-12 fiscal years,
as reported to the State Controller pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 2151.

2009-10, 2010-11, and 2011-12 fiscal years is $830,243.
