RESOLUTION NO. 2017-47
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF UKIAH AMENDING THE 2017-18 BUDGET TO INCORPORATE A
PROJECT 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 our City of Ukiah 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 Ukiah 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 of Ukiah 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 Ukiah, will receive an estimated $110,000 in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year
2017-18 from SB 1; and
WHEREAS, the City of Ukiah used its Pavement Management System to identify the SB 1 project
to ensure revenues are being used on the most high-priority and cost-effective project that also meets
the community's priorities for transportation investment; and
WHEREAS, the funding from SB 1 will help the City of Ukiah maintain and rehabilitate a key
street this year and with similar projects to follow in the future; and
WHEREAS, the 2016 California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment found that
the City of Ukiah's streets and roads are in a "poor" condition and this revenue along with Measure "Y"
street maintenance sales tax 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 "fair" condition; 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
ATTACHMENT #1
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.

Ukiah, State of California, as follows:
