TOWN OF LOS GATOS
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 5/3/2022
ITEM NO: 9
DATE: April 20, 2022
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution to Adopt a List of Projects for Fiscal Year 2022/23 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) 2022/23 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 $669,856 in Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation
Account (RMRA) funding through SB 1 in FY 2022/23.
Built into the Road Repair and Accountability Act are accountability and transparency
measures, including a requirement that all projects proposed to receive RMRA funding to be
adopted by the applicable governing body at a regular meeting. To comply, the Town must
adopt a resolution with a list of projects in the upcoming fiscal year proposed to receive RMRA
funding, including 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.

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution to Adopt a List of Projects for Fiscal Year 2022/23 Funded by
the State Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017
DATE: April 20, 2022
DISCUSSION:
For projects in consideration to 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 following project segments previously adopted and newly proposed for SB 1
funding in need of street repair and maintenance in FY 2022/23 and upcoming years:
Location Description Scheduled
Start and
Completion
Estimated
Useful Life
Union Avenue from Blossom
Hill Road to Los Gatos-Almaden
Road
Placement of rubber cape seal or
overlay to maintain pavement
surface. This is an arterial road and is
critical for transit needs in the Town.
Spring 2022
to Fall 2023
10 - 25
years
Pollard Road from Quito Road
to W. Parr Avenue
Placement of rubber cape seal or
overlay to maintain pavement
surface. This is an arterial road and is
critical for transit needs in the Town.
Spring 2022
to Fall 2023
10 - 25
years
E. Main Street from Jackson
Street to Maple Place
Placement of rubber cape seal or
overlay to maintain pavement
surface. This is a collector road and is
critical for transit needs in the Town.
Fall 2022 to
Fall 2023
10 - 25
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 2022/23 for Council’s
approval prior to advertising for construction bid. Construction for the FY 2022/23 Street
Repair and Resurfacing project is anticipated to start in the spring or summer of 2023.
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
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.

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution to Adopt a List of Projects for Fiscal Year 2022/23 Funded by
the State Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017
DATE: April 20, 2022
CONCLUSION:
Adoption of the recommended resolution would meet with the SB 1 RMRA funding
requirement for proposed project list to allow the continuation of the Town’s roadway
maintenance through the Capital Improvement Program.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Town’s Proposed FY 2022/23-2026/27 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:
This action is not a project defined under CEQA, and no further action is required.
