Prop 1B Streets Expenditure Plan AGENDA MEMO DATE: September 13, 2011 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Office of the City Manager By: John Oskoui, P.E., Director of Public Works SUBJECT: PROPOSITION 1B LOCAL STREETS AND ROADS FUNDING EXPENDITURE PLAN RECOMMENDATION That the City Council adopt: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY APPROVING THE PROPOSITTION 1B LOCAL STREETS AND ROADS FUNDING EXPENDITURE PLAN BACKGROUND 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 projects, including $2 billion for cities and counties to fund the maintenance and improvement of local transportation facilities. Senate Bill 88 appropriated a total of $950 million of the Prop 1B funds in 2007/08 and $1.05 billion in 2008/09. Of this $2 billion amount, Assembly Bill 196 specifies that $1 billion be allotted to the cities and the counties each for fiscal years 2007/08 and 2008/09. The portion of the $1 billion 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 expend these funds, the legislative body of each respective county or city must first approve a plan for use of the amount of funds available for their respective jurisdiction as determined by the State Controller. As specified by the language in Proposition 1B, funds apportioned to a city or county under this program 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.
