This legislation provides the City of Rosemead with access to funds for essential road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety improvements. For upcoming FY 25-26 year, the City is projected to receive $1,335,861 in SBI funding. To remain eligible for these funds, the City must adopt a list of proposed street projects by resolution and file it with the California Transportation Commission. Resolution No. 2025-23, presented for Council's consideration, would adopt the City's project list for FY 2025-26 and authorize staff to submit to the California Transportation Commission by July 1, 2025, to be eligible to receive the funds. Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) establishes a long-term, stable funding source for California's transportation infrastructure. It addresses deferred maintenance on state highways and local streets through increased fuel taxes, vehicle registration fees, and other transportation -related revenues. A portion of these funds is distributed annually to cities and counties via the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) to fund projects for road maintenance, pavement rehabilitation, safety improvements, and transportation enhancements such as: • Road maintenance and rehabilitation • Safety projects • Railroad grade separations • Traffic control devices • Complete street components, including active transportation, pedestrian and bicycle safety projects, transit facilities, and stormwater capture projects integrated with other eligible projects. AGENDA ITEM 5.N City Council Meeting June 10, 2025 Page 2 of 3 _ DISCUSSION To effectively utilize SBI funds, cities and counties must develop project lists aligned with its legislative objectives to address critical transportation infrastructure needs. The City of Rosemead has outlined plans for the upcoming fiscal year, focusing on road enhancements through the City's Annual Pavement Rehabilitation Program. The City's project list includes streets identified through the City's Pavement Management Program and other sources within the southeast quadrant of the City. The area is bounded by the I-10 Freeway to the north, Klingerman Avenue to the south, Fern Avenue to the west, and the eastern city limit. The improvements will focus on restorative work using various cost-effective restoration methods, such as, mirco paving and asphalt overlays consisting of cold milling and paving with conventional or ARHM (Asphalt Rubber Hot Mix) asphalt. In addition to the project list, SB 1 legislation requires that cities and counties maintain an existing commitment of local funds for street, road, and highway purposes to remain eligible for an apportionment. Pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 2032, the maintenance of effort (MOE) requirement states that the City shall expend no less than the annual average of its general fund expenditures for the 2009-10, 2010-11, and 2011-12 fiscal years. STAFF RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2025-23 approving the list of projects for FY 2025-26 under the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SBI Beall). FINANCIAL IMPACT Adoption of Resolution No. 2025-23 will allow the City to receive SBI funding apportionment estimated by the State of California to be $1,335,86 for Fiscal Year 2025-26. To receive the funding, the City is required to annually expend from its General Fund in the amount of $56,439 for street, road, and highway purposes per the maintenance of effort (MOE) requirement of the Streets and Highways Code. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW City staff has determined, in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, that this project is not subject to CEQA review because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment.
