A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA,
CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE 2017-18 BUDGET TO INCORPORATE A LIST OF
PROJECTS FUNDED BY SB 1: THE ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA HEREBY RESOLVES AS
FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1 (SB 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 in order to address the significant multi -modal transportation
funding shortfalls statewide; and
WHEREAS, SB 1 includes accountability and transparency provisions that will
ensure the residents of our City are aware of the projects proposed for funding in our
community and which projects have been completed each fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, the City of Costa Mesa must include a list of all projects proposed to
receive funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA),
created by SB 1, in the City budget, 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; and
WHEREAS, the City of Costa Mesa, will receive an estimated $650,000 in RMRA
funding in Fiscal Year 2017-18 from SB 1; and
WHEREAS, the City used a Pavement Management System to develop the SB 1
project list to ensure revenues are being used on the most high-priority and cost-
effective projects that also meet the community's priorities for transportation investment;
and
Resolution No. 17-60 Page 1 of 5
WHEREAS, the funding from SB 1 will help the City maintain and rehabilitate
local streets and roads and provide resources for similar projects in the future; and
WHEREAS, the 2016 California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs
Assessment found that the City's streets and roads are in an overall good condition,
with some streets identified in poor condition, and this revenue will help us increase the
quality of such streets and assist in bringing our citywide streets and roads into an
excellent condition; and
WHEREAS, if the Legislature and Governor failed to act, a few city streets would
have continued to deteriorate, having some negative impacts on our community; and
WHEREAS, cities and counties own and operate more than 81 percent of streets
and roads in California, and from the moment we open our front door to drive to work,
bike to school, or walk to the bus station, people are dependent upon a safe, reliable
local transportation network; and
WHEREAS, modernizing the local street and road system provides well -paying
construction jobs and boosts local economies; and
WHEREAS, the local street and road system is also critical for farm to market
needs, interconnectivity, multimodal needs, and commerce; and
WHEREAS, police, fire, and emergency medical services all need safe reliable
roads to react quickly to emergency calls and a few minutes of delay can be a matter of
life and death; and
WHEREAS, maintaining and preserving the local street and road system in good
condition will reduce drive times and traffic congestion, improve bicycle safety, and
make the pedestrian experience safer and more appealing, which leads to reduce

vehicle emissions helping the State achieve its air quality and greenhouse gas
emissions reductions goals; and
WHEREAS, restoring roads before they fail also reduces construction time,
which results in less air pollution from heavy equipment and less water pollution from
site run-off; and
WHEREAS, the SB 1 project list and overall investment in our local streets and
roads infrastructure, with a focus on basic maintenance and safety, investing in
complete streets infrastructure, and using cutting-edge technology, materials and
practices, will have significant positive co -benefits statewide.
