HomeMy WebLinkAbout2020-04-07; City Council; ; Programming of Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account funds to the Pavement Management Program, Capital Improvement Program Project No. 6001.Each year, as part of the CIP process, staff presents the proposed program of CIP projects at a regular City Council meeting and then brings the proposed program back to the City CouncH for adoption approximately one month later. This process gives the community the opportunity to provide input into the city's program of projects. In order to efficiently utilize the RMRA funds, staff is recommending that the RMRA funds be allocated to the Pavement Management Program, CIP Project No. 6001. This program includes annual road resurfacing and rehabilitation projects which are prioritized by the CTC for this funding source. As required by the CTC, the city utilizes a pavement management system to ensure that RMRA revenues are being used in a prioritized and cost-effective manner. With the adoption of the FY 2020-21 CIP budget, these funds will be allocated to the Pavement Management Program . Following the City Council approval, the resolution associated with this staff report along with the other necessary supporting documentation will be submitted to the CTC. Fiscal Analysis In order to comply with the procedures established by the CTC and to receive the RMRA funds, a discrete fund account has been established by the Finance Department to identify and track the receipt and expenditure of RMRA funds. This will be the fourth year in which the city will receive RMRA funding which will enable the city to continue essential road maintenance and rehabilitation projects. Based on State Department of Finance revenue projections, Carlsbad is estimated to receive $2,176,000 in RMRA revenue during FY 2020-21. Staff is requesting that the FY 2020-21 CIP budget include the programming of RMRA funds to the Pavement Management Program, CIP Project No. 6001. Next Steps Staff will submit the attached resolution and supporting documents to the CTC to allow the city to remain eligible to receive RMRA funds in FY 2020-21. Environmental Evaluation (CEQA) Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065 and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA} Guidelines Section 15378(b}(4}, the action of programming funds does not constitute a "project" within the meaning of CEQA in that it makes the city eligible to receive a funding source that does not involve any commitment to a specific project and has no potential to cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and therefore does not require environmental review.
