TITLE: Resolution No. 2020-26: Specifying Uses for FY 2020-21 RMRA
Funding from the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017
ABSTRACT:
Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 provides funding for
the maintenance and repair of local streets and roads through a Road Maintenance and
Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). To be eligible for FY 2020-21 funding, the City must
submit a project list to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) by May 1, 2020,
along with a resolution documenting the approval of the City's project list.
RECOMMENDATION:
a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because
this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly;
and
b) Adopt Resolution No. 2020-26, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport
Beach, California, Adopting a List of Projects for Fiscal Year 2020-21 Funded by
SB 1, The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
RMRA Funding for identified projects will be included in the FY 2020-21 proposed Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) budget for Council consideration.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Newport Beach receives transportation funding from the State in the form of
grants or direct allocation of Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax (Gas Tax) through the Highway Users
Tax Account (HUTA). The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB 1) is a new
funding program for California's transportation systems approximating $5.2 billion per
year. It is estimated that the City of Newport Beach will receive approximately $1,646,555
in FY 2020-21 from RMRA funding.

To be eligible for this funding, the City must submit a proposed project list to the CTC by
May 1, 2020, along with a resolution that identifies all proposed projects that may be
funded with RMRA funding. The list includes previously budgeted projects that are
funded with RMRA funds and active in the current fiscal year.
RMRA local streets and roads allocations must be used for projects that include, but are
not limited to, the following:
• Road maintenance and rehabilitation
• Safety projects
• Railroad grade separations
• Traffic control devices
• Complete street components, (including active transportation purposes,
pedestrian and bicycle safety projects, transit facilities, and drainage and
stormwater capture projects in conjunction with any other allowable project)
• Match requirement to obtain state or federal funds for eligible projects
Staff recommends the use of RMRA funding to partially fund the following projects:
1. (FY 17-18) MacArthur Boulevard and University Drive Pavement Rehabilitation
2. (FY 18-19) Bison Avenue, San Joaquin Hills Road and San Nicolas Drive
Pavement Rehabilitation
3. (FY 19-20) Cameo Highlands Street Pavement Reconstruction
4. (FY 20-21) Bonita Canyon Drive and Ford Road Pavement Rehabilitation
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not
result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment)
and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
