CC RES 2017-056 RESOLUTION NO. 2017-56
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO PALOS VERDES AMENDING THE FISCAL
YEAR 2017-18 BUDGET TO INCORPORATE CREST
ROAD EAST ROADWAY REHABILITATION PROJECT TO
BE 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 Ranch Palos Verdes 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 Rancho Palos Verdes 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's 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 Rancho Palos Verdes, will receive and estimated
$243,186 in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year 2017-18 from SB 1; and
WHEREAS, the City of Rancho Palos Verdes used a Pavement Management
System to identify qualifiable projects to ensure revenues are being used on the most
high-priority and cost-effective projects that also meet the communities priorities for
transportation investment; and
WHEREAS, the funding from SB 1 will help the City of Rancho Palos Verdes
maintain and rehabilitate Crest Road East, a multi-use collector road with significant
volumes of vehicle, pedestrian and cycling traffic, throughout the City 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 City of Rancho Palos Verdes streets and roads are in a
"good" condition and this revenue will help us increase the overall quality of our road
system and over the next decade will bring our streets and roads into a "excellent"
condition; 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 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, 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.
