TOWN OF LOS GATOS
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 06/04/2024
DATE: May 30, 2024
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution to Adopt a List of Projects for Fiscal Year 2024/25 Funded
by the State Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) to adopt a list of projects for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024/25 funded
by the State Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.
BACKGROUND:
SB 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, was passed by the State Legislature and
signed into law by the Governor in April 2017 to address the significant multi-modal
transportation funding shortfalls statewide. SB 1 is intended to enable cities and counties to
better address significant maintenance, rehabilitation, and safety needs on their local street
systems. Maintenance and rehabilitation projects are used to extend the serviceable life of
streets. The Town will receive an estimated $859,033 in Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation
Account (RMRA) funding through SB 1 in FY 2024/25.
Built into the Road Repair and Accountability Act are accountability and transparency
measures, including a requirement that a list of all streets proposed to receive RMRA funding
be adopted by the applicable governing body at a regular meeting. To comply, the Town
Council must adopt a resolution with a list of streets that may receive RMRA funding in the
upcoming fiscal year, including a description and the location of each proposed street segment,
a proposed schedule for the project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of the
improvement.

DISCUSSION:
In considering which roads may receive RMRA funding, staff recommends Town road segments
that carry heavier traffic loads and volumes, such as arterials that may involve more design
scope and construction work to repair and maintain compared to other local roadways. Staff
has identified the project segments shown in Table 1 for use of SB 1 funding in FY 2024/25 and
upcoming years:

The required work on the identified streets may exceed the available SB 1 funding. Funding
from other sources would be required to complete the projects, such as the General Fund
Appropriated Reserves (GFAR) and the voter-approved 2016 Measure B.
Modifications to the SB 1 funding project list are permitted, and staff may recommend
modifications when greater needs for funding emerge; for example, due to winter weather
impacts. Staff will return with the final proposed project list for FY 2024/25 for Council’s
approval prior to advertising for construction bid. Construction for the FY 2024/25 Street
Repair and Resurfacing project is anticipated to start in the spring or summer of 2025.
One important element associated with SB 1 is a continued maintenance of effort (MOE)
requirement. The MOE requirement means that local funding for routine street maintenance

DISCUSSION (continued):
must not be less than the average of the three base years (2009/10 – 2011/12) as set by SB 1.
The State continues to refine the calculation and reporting requirements for the MOE, and it
would be important for the Town to sustain historic maintenance funding levels into the future
to avoid risking loss of the annual RMRA appropriation.
CONCLUSION:
Adoption of the recommended resolution would meet the SB 1 RMRA funding requirement to
have an adopted project list and allow the continuation of the Town’s roadway maintenance
through the Capital Improvement Program.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Town’s Proposed FY 2024/25 - 2028/29 Capital Improvement Program has already included
the estimated funds in the Street Repair and Resurfacing project. This action will have no effect
on the Town’s budget and only identifies the specific streets.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, adoption of this resolution is categorically
exempt from CEQA, because it involves maintenance of existing roads.
