Proposition 1B is the transportation portion, out of which funds were dedicated to cities and counties for local streets and roads. These funds can be used for street pavement maintenance, traffic congestion relief projects, transit facility improvements, safety projects, or as local match for state and federal funded projects. The Town last received $472,992 in FY 2007/08, which were used for street repair and resurfacing projects during that period. These projects were approved by Council under the adopted FY 2008/09-.2012/13 Capital Improvement Program budget. The State Controller's Office has allocated $437,175 in Prop 1B funds to the Town for FY 2009/10. If the Prop1B funding is appropriated, these funds will be allocated to the Curb, Gutter, and Sidewalk Replacement Project for concrete repair and replacement. The repair and replacement of hazardous curbs, gutters, and sidewalles throughout the Town is an on-going issue and maintenance resources have historically been limited. The Prop 1B funds will be budgeted in the FY 2009/10 budget under the Curb, Gutter, and Sidewalk program to allow the Town to enhance pedestrian and bicyclist safety and ADA compliance. The monies received from Prop 1B will fund a concrete and repair replacement project town wide. In order for the Town to apply for the Prop 1 B funds, the Council must adopt a resolution accepting a plan for the use of these funds. CONCLUSION: Staff recommends the Town Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing application for Prop1B Local Streets and Roads funds for FY 2009/10 and appropriate these funds to the Curb, Gutter, and Sidewalk Replacement Project (411-813-9921). ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: Council approval of the attached resolution is not a project defined under CEQA, and no further action is required. FISCAL IMPACT: The adoption of this Resolution will allow the Town to apply for Prop1B allocated funding in the amount of $437,175. The funds, if approved by the State, will be allocated to the Curb, Gutter, and Sidewalk Replacement Account 411-813-9921. Attachments: 1.
