A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE BUDGET
FOR FISCAL YEAR 2017-18, ADOPTED BY RESOLUTION
24238, TO INCORPORATE THE 2017 ANNUAL SLURRY
SEAL, PROJECT NO. 17-02 TO BE FUNDED BY SB 1,
THE ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF
2017.
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 are aware of the projects proposed for funding in our
community and which projects have been completed each fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, the City 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 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, will receive an estimated $263,599 in RMRA funding in
Fiscal Year 2017-18 from SB 1; and
WHEREAS, the City has undergone a robust public process to ensure public
input into our community's transportation priorities/the project list; and
WHEREAS, the City 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 communities priorities for transportation
investment; and
WHEREAS, the funding from SB 1 will help the City maintain and rehabilitate
streets, roads, bridges, add active transportation infrastructure 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's 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 maintain our streets and roads in a "good" condition; and

WHEREAS, without revenue from SB 1, the City, would have otherwise been
canceling 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 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, 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 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.
