AMENDING THE 2017/18 OPERATING BUDGET AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM TO INCORPORATE A LIST OF PROJECTS FUNDED BY SB1: THE
ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT AND ADDING SB1 FUNDS TO
PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM PROJECT C-610
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1(SB1), 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, S131 includes accountability and transparency provisions that will ensure the
residents of the Town of Danville (the Town) are aware of the projects proposed for funding
in our community and which projects have been completed each fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, the Town must include a list of all projects proposed to receive funding from
the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), created by S131, in the Operating
Budget and Capital Improvement Program, 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 Town will receive an estimated $242,191 in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year
2017/18 from S131; and
WHEREAS, the Town has undergone a robust public process to ensure public input into the
Town's transportation priorities/the project list; and
WHEREAS, the Town used a Pavement Management System to develop the SB1 project list
to ensure revenues are being used on the most high-priority and cost-effective projects that
also meet the Town's priorities for transportation investment; and
WHEREAS, the funding from S131 will help the Town maintain and rehabilitate numerous
streets and roads and add active transportation infrastructure throughout the Town this year
and hundreds of similar projects into the future; and
WHEREAS, the 2016 California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment found
that the Town's streets and roads are in a "good" condition and this revenue will help to
increase the overall quality of the Town's road system and over the next decade will bring
the streets and roads into a "very good" condition; and
WHEREAS, without revenue from S131, the Town would have otherwise been reducing
projects throughout the community; 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, cities and counties own and operate more than 81 percent of streets and roads
in California and 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 where a few minutes of delay may 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 may lead 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 and cost which
results in less air pollution from heavy equipment and less water pollution from site run-off;
and
WHEREAS, the S131 project list and overall investment in 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; now, therefore, be it
