RECOMMENDATION
recommendation
That the Town Council adopt the attached Resolution approving the 2022-2023 Senate Bill 1 (SB1) Project List to be included in the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Budget for roadway improvements.
body
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill 1 (SB1), to address the significant funding shortfalls for transportation state-wide. SB 1 increased vehicle registration fees along with per-gallon gas and diesel taxes.
Distribution of funds to San Anselmo will follow the apportionment formula used for the current gas tax. Funding will be available for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation and critical safety projects on local streets and roads. SB1 requires annual project reporting, which includes submittal of a list of proposed projects (Project List) that is adopted by Town Council Resolution. The Project List must include a description and location of the project, a proposed schedule of completion and an estimated useful life of the improvement. The 2022/2023 Fiscal Year (FY) Project List is due to the California Transportation Commission by July 1, 2022, and Expenditure Reports are due by December 1.
In addition, the Town is also required to sustain a Measure of Effort (MOE) by spending at least the annual average of its General Fund expenditures during FY 2009/2010, 2010/2011, and 2011/2012. ($730,759 average per year). The current Town budget reflects a MOE of above this level.
The streets listed in the table below in the Project List are included in the Town’s 5-Year Capital Improvement Program. The funding from SB1 will supplement the existing funding sources for this paving project. The Project List includes the street expected to be paved in summer/fall 2022 as part of 2022 Pavement Resurfacing Project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The revenue to be distributed to San Anselmo is expected to be approximately $289,241 in FY 2022/2023. The remaining project budget has been included in the Road Maintenance Fund and Measure D Fund for FY 2022/2023.

Per Town Council Resolution 4020, Complete Streets analysis will be done to determine if any pedestrian, bicyclist or transit improvements are necessary.
If the Town Council adopts the attached Resolution approving the Project List, the proposed list of street paving projects (2022 Street Resurfacing Project) will be included in the FY 2022-2023 Town Budget.
CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
Adoption of the proposed resolution is categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 because the resolution allocates a portion of the funds for a paving project that will not create additional automobile lanes nor result in an expansion of use. (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15301(c). None of the exceptions listed in CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 apply in this instance, as there are no unusual circumstances presented by the street paving to be funded, nor are the streets on the list designated as a state scenic highway or a historical resource.
