RESOLUTION TO ADOPT A LIST OF PROJECTS FUNDED BY
SB 1: THE ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT
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 of Saratoga 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 Saratoga must adopt a list of all projects proposed to receive funding from
the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), created by SB 1 by resolution, 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 Saratoga, will receive an estimated $507,630 in RMRA funding in Fiscal
Year 2018-19 from SB 1; and
WHEREAS, the City of Saratoga 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
WHEREAS, the funding from SB 1 will help the City of Saratoga maintain and rehabilitate various
streets and roads throughout the City of Saratoga this year through the Annual Roadway Improvements
program and several similar projects into the future; and
WHEREAS, the 2016 California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment found that
the City of Saratoga's streets and roads are in an "good" condition and this revenue will help the City
increase the overall quality of its road system and over the next decade will bring City streets and roads
into a "excellent" condition; and
WHEREAS, without revenue from SB 1, the City of Saratoga, would have otherwise been
deferring important projects throughout the community in need of immediate attention; and
WHEREAS, if the Legislature and Governor failed to act, city streets and county roads would
have continued to deteriorate, having many and varied negative impacts on our community; and
WHEREAS, modernizing the local street and road system provides well -paying construction jobs
and boosts local economies; 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.
