In April 2017, Governor Brown signed into law Senate Bill 1, which increased the vehicle fuel tax by $0.12 and the diesel excise tax by $0.20 per gallon.  SB1 also implemented a new transportation vehicle fee based on vehicle value and an annual vehicle registration fee for zero-emission vehicles.

In Fiscal Year 2018-19, the City is anticipated to receive approximately $2.9 million in SB1 revenues for transportation projects. Further, for a City to be eligible for SB1 apportionments, the California Transportation Commission (CTC), the lead administrative agency tasked with oversight of SB1, requires cities to formally submit annual Project Lists for administrative review and adoption.

Project Lists are capital improvement lists detailing SB1 fund expenditures, including project name, scope, schedule and other pertinent construction data. As per the attached FY2018-19 City’s Project List, the City is planning on using SB1 funds for rehabilitating Chapman Avenue, Euclid Street and various residential streets, including construction of a storm drain line along La Bonita Street, between Westminster Avenue and Anabel Avenue. These projects will also be reflected in the City’s Fiscal Year 2018-19 Capital Improvement Plan amendment.

There is no impact to the General Fund. The City is projecting to receive $2.9 million in new Gas Tax revenue (Fund 062) for Fiscal Year 2018-19. 

It is recommended that the City Council:

• Adopt the attached Resolution for Fiscal Year 2018-19 List of Projects, funded by Senate Bill 1: The Road Repair Accountability Act of 2017.
