File Number: 19-226 Per implementation guidelines, basic maintenance and safety projects should be prioritized, and to the extent possible, include complete streets components and advanced technologies. Prior to receiving funds, local agencies must annually submit a list of projects proposed to be funded with RMRA funds to the CTC. Although the CTC is not an ‘approving’ body, project lists will be reviewed to ensure that they include statutorily required information to establish eligibility for funding. Failure to submit a project list to the CTC and establish annual eligibility will result in forfeiture of monthly apportionments. Currently, there is no process to recoup lost apportionments, which would be distributed to eligible agencies. SB 1 requires that the project list include four components: ·Project Description ·The location of each proposed project (“citywide” is not an option) ·Schedule for completion ·Estimated useful life of improvement California Streets and Highways Code Section 2034(a)(1) stipulates that the list must be pursuant to an adopted budget (or budget amendment), approved at a public meeting, and that all projects proposed to receive funding shall be included in the city’s budget. The list cannot limit flexible use of funds, provided that funds are only used for eligible projects, meaning that a city can fund projects in a given year not on the project list, or not fund projects that were on the project list. At the end of the fiscal year, the City will report back to the CTC on the locations of work performed. Per established guidelines, any listed projects not started/completed can be moved to the next year’s list. Changes to the list do not require going back to the CTC for an amendment. In order to receive RMRA funding, a city or county must annually expend from its general fund for street, road, and highway purposes an amount not less than the annual average of its expenditures from its general fund during fiscal years 2009-2010, 2010-2011, and 2011-2012 (Streets and Highways Code Section 2036(b)). This is referred to as the ‘Maintenance of Effort’, or MOE. If a city or county fails to meet the MOE in a fiscal year, it can be made up in the following fiscal year. The CTC can audit to determine that the MOE was met, and non-compliant agencies may have to reimburse the state. Included in the MOE are unrestricted, discretionary funds including vehicle in-lieu tax revenues and revenues from fines and forfeitures, expended for street, road, and highway purposes. One-time allocations expended for street and highway purposes, but which may not be available on an ongoing basis, including revenue provided under the Teeter Plan Bond Law of 1994, are excluded. Additionally, HUTA funds are not part of the MOE calculation. The projects performed in-house generally follow the Maintenance Area Map (where the City is divided into quadrants with a different quadrant focus each year) and are coordinated with the Engineering & Transportation Department to ensure that any required ADA ramp work is scheduled.
