SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2024-23 - APPROVING SBl PROJECT LIST
FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-25 UNDER THE ROAD REPAIR AND
ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2017 (SB1 BEALL)
SUMMARY
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill (SB) 1 (Beal, Chapter 5, Statute 2017), also
known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 to address basic road maintenance,
rehabilitation, and critical safety needs on both the state highway and local streets and road system.
Beginning November 1, 2017, the State Controller will deposit various portions of this new
funding into the newly created Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). A
percentage of this new RMRA funding will be apportioned by formula to eligible cities and
counties pursuant to Streets and Highways Code (SHC) Section 2032 (h) for basic road
maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on the local streets and road systems. Prior
to receiving an allotment of RMRA funds from the State Controller each fiscal year, the City must
submit a proposed project list to be funded with the estimated revenue allocations to the California
Transportation Commission. The project list shall be pursuant to an adopted resolution.
BACKGROUND
The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SBI Beall) is a significant investment in
California's transportation systems of about $5.2 billion per year. The Act increases per gallon fuel
excise taxes, diesel fuel sales taxes, vehicle registration taxes, and provides for inflationary
adjustments to rates in future years. The Act will more than double local streets and road funds
allocated through the Highway Users Tax Account, allocating funds from new taxes to a new Road
Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). Pursuant to Streets and Highways Code
Section 2030, RMRA local streets and roads allocations must be used for projects "that include,
but are not limited to," the following:
• Road maintenance and rehabilitation
• Safety projects
• Railroad grade separations
• Traffic control devices

• Complete street components, "including active transportation purposes, pedestrian and
bicycle safety projects, transit facilities, and drainage and storm -water capture projects in
conjunction with any other allowable project."
Maintenance of Effort: RMRA
The Road Repair and Accountability Act contains a local agency maintenance of effort (MOE)
requirement that applies to funds allocated through the RMRA. The Act states that the MOE
requirement is to ensure that these new road funds do not supplant existing levels of city and county
general revenue spending on streets and roads. The MOE for the receipt of RMRA funds state that
a city or county must maintain general fund spending for street, road, and highway purposes at no
less than the average of three years. In making this calculation an agency may exclude one-time
funds. A city or county that fails to comply in a particular year may make it up with additional
expenditures in the following year. The Act provides that the State Controller may perform audits
to ensure compliance with these MOE rules. If the State Controller determines that a city or county
has not met its MOE, the agency will be required to reimburse the state for the funds it received
during that fiscal year. However, a city or county that fails to comply in a particular fiscal year
may expend during that fiscal year and the following fiscal year a total amount that is sufficient to
comply. Any funds withheld or returned as a result of a failure to comply will be reapportioned to
the other counties and cities whose expenditures are in compliance.
Spending Plans and Reports: RMRA
The Road Repair and Accountability Act stipulates that prior to receiving RMRA funds in a fiscal
year, a city or county must submit to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) a project
list pursuant to an adopted resolution. The list must include for each project: description, location,
schedule, useful life. [Streets and Highways Code Sec 2034(a)] The Road Repair and
Accountability Act also requires that a city or county submit to the CTC an annual report of project
completion in order to receive RMRA funds. The report must include descriptions of all projects
for which RMRA funds were expended including description, location, funds expended,
completion date, estimated useful life of the project.
DISCUSSION
The City of Rosemead allocation for FY 2024-25 is estimated to be $1,308,307 based on estimated
revenue projections. The following is a new project for FY 24-25:
Annual Pavement Rehabilitation: Cold Milling and asphalt pavement, construction of
