TO:
Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:
Office of the City Manager

SUBJECT: PROPOSITION 1B LOCAL STREETS AND ROADS FUNDING
FISCAL YEAR 2009/2010
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY
APPROVING THE PROPOSITION 1B LOCAL STREETS AND ROADS
FUNDING EXPENDITURE PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 2009/2010
DISCUSSION:
In 2006, Proposition 1B was approved by the people of the State of California.
Proposition 1B provides $19.925 billion in bond funds for a variety of transportation
priorities, including $2 billion for cities and counties to fund the maintenance and
improvement of local transportation facilities. Senate Bill 88 appropriated a total of $1.3
billion of the Proposition 1B funds to cities and counties over Fiscal Year (FY)
2007/2008 and FY 2008/2009.
The 2009 Budget Act appropriated a total of $700 million for FY 2009/2010, allocating
$258.2 million for cities and $441.8 million for counties, which represents the remaining
balance of Proposition 1B Local Streets and Roads funding. The portion of the $258.2
million allocated to each individual city is determined by the State Controller’s office
based on the City’s population and total number of miles of public roadways. In order to
receive these funds, the legislative body of each respective county or city must first
approve a plan for use of the amount of funds available in FY 2009/2010 for their
respective jurisdiction.
The City of Downey is slated to receive $1,688,623.18 in Proposition 1B Local Streets
and Roads funds for FY 2009/2010. As specified by the language in Proposition 1B,
funds shall be used for improvements to transportation facilities that will assist in
reducing local traffic congestion and further deterioration, improving traffic flows, or
increasing traffic safety that may include, but not be limited to, street and highway
pavement maintenance, rehabilitation, installation, construction and reconstruction of
necessary associated facilities such as drainage and traffic control devices, or the
maintenance, rehabilitation, installation, construction and reconstruction of facilities that
expand ridership on transit systems, safety projects to reduce fatalities, or as a local
match to obtain state or federal transportation funds for similar purposes.
