Agenda Section: CONSENT CALENDAR File Number: 23-183 File Type: Staff Report Adopt a Resolution to Approve Fiscal Year 2024 Proposed Projects Paid from the State’s Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account to City's Gas Tax Fund (152-31-057) for Streets Maintenance CITY COUNCIL PRIORITY Maintain and enhance San Leandro’s infrastructure. SUMMARY In order to receive funding from the State’s Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), the City must annually submit to the State (by July 1st) a list of streets maintenance projects anticipated for completion in the coming fiscal year. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the City Council approve a resolution for the fiscal year 2024 proposed road maintenance projects, to continue receive RMRA funding. BACKGROUND Existing law provides various sources of funding for transportation purposes, including funding for the state highway system and the local streets and roads system. These funding sources include, among others, fuel excise taxes, commercial vehicle weight fees, local transactions and use taxes, and federal funds. Existing law imposes certain registration fees on vehicles, with revenues from these fees deposited in the Motor Vehicle Account to fund the Department of Motor Vehicles and the Department of the California Highway Patrol. Existing law provides for the monthly transfer of excess balances in the Motor Vehicle Account to the State Highway Account. SB 1, signed by Governor Brown in April 2017, created the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program (RMRP) to address deferred maintenance on the state highway system and local streets and roads systems. The bill requires that the County Transportation Commission (CTC) adopt performance criteria, consistent with a specified asset management plan, to ensure efficient use of certain funds available for the program. SB 1 provides for the deposit of various funds for the program in the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), which SB 1 created in the State Transportation Fund, including the following: Revenues attributable to a $0.12 per gallon increase in the motor vehicle fuel (gasoline) tax imposed by the bill with an inflation adjustment. 50% of a $0.20 per gallon increase in the diesel excise tax, with an inflation adjustment. A portion of a new transportation improvement fee imposed under the Vehicle License Fee Law with a varying fee between $25 and $175 based on vehicle value and with an inflation adjustment. A new $100 annual vehicle registration fee applicable only to zero-emission vehicles model year 2020 and later, with an inflation adjustment. Under SB 1, the fuel excise tax increases took effect on November 1, 2017, the transportation improvement fee took effect on January 1, 2018, and the zero-emission vehicle registration fee took effect on July 1, 2020. Analysis Similar to the Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA), the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) is continuously appropriated and apportioned to local jurisdictions on a monthly basis. There is not a set monthly amount because it is use-based; it is not reimbursement based. The following revenues will flow to local jurisdictions: Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 5/10/2023
