Resolution No. 2021-16 | FY 2021-2022 Adopting a list of projects funded by SB 1 | Adopted 05/17/2021RESOLUTION NO. 2021-16
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GILROY
ADOPTING A LIST OF PROJECTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021-22 FUNDED
BY SB 1: THE ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT 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 adopt by resolution a list of projects proposed to receive fiscal
year funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), created by SB 1
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 Gilroy received $327,760 in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year 2017-
18, $1,019,879 in Fiscal Year 2018-19, $968,666 in Fiscal Year 2019-20, and will receive an
estimated amount of $998,090 in Fiscal Year 2020-2021, and estimated amount of $1,093,095 in
Fiscal Year 2021-2022 from SB 1; 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 over 1.4
million square feet of pavement, and implement the complete streets ordinance on streets in the
project and into the future; and
WHEREAS, the 2018 California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment
found that the City's streets and roads are, on average, in good condition, but 15 percent of the
streets are in poor or very poor condition. This revenue will help increase the overall quality of
our road system and over the next decade will keep our streets and roads in a good condition; and
WHEREAS, without revenue from SB 1, the City's average Pavement Condition Index,
a measure of the pavement condition, would have otherwise continued to decrease at an increasing
rate; 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
RESOLUTION 2021-16
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 reduced 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.
NOW, THEREFORE IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the City
of Gilroy as follows:
1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct.
The FY21-22 Citywide Pavement Project consists of each of the following
street segments listed in Attachment 1 receiving a pavement treatment

and a microsurfacing and/or type II Slurry. This treatment is expected to
extend the useful life of each street segment by 5-7 years. The attached list
(Attachment 1) of project segments are expected to be completed by the end
of Fiscal Year 2021-2022.
