A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Palm Desert, California,
Adopting Before the City Council a List of Projects for Fiscal Year 2026 -27
Funded by SB1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017
Whereas, Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter
5, Statutes of 2017) was passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor
in April 2017 to address the significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls
statewide; and
Whereas, SB 1 includes accountability and transparency provisions that will ensure the
residents of our City are aware of the projects proposed for funding in our community and
which projects have been completed each fiscal year ; and
Whereas, the City must adopt by resolution a list of projects proposed to receive fiscal
year funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), created by
SB 1, which must include a description and the location of each proposed project, a
proposed schedule for the project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of the
improvement; and
Whereas, the City will receive an estimated $1,458,482 in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year
2026-27 from SB 1; and
Whereas, this is the tenth year in which the City is receiving SB 1 funding and will enable
the City to continue essential road maintenance and rehabilitation projects, safety
improvements, repairing and replacing aging bridges, and increasing access and mobility
options for the traveling public that would not have otherwise been possible without SB
1; and
Whereas, the City has undergone a robust public process to ensure public input into our
community’s transportation priorities/the project list; and
Whereas, the City used a Pavement Management System to develop the SB 1 project list
to ensure revenues are being used on the most high-priority and cost-effective projects
that also meet the communities’ priorities for transportation investment; and
Whereas, the funding from SB 1 will help the City maintain and rehabilitate streets/roads
throughout the City this year and of similar projects into the future; and
Whereas, the 2023 California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment
found that the City’s streets and roads are in a good condition and this revenue will help
us increase the overall quality of our road system and over the next decade will bring our
streets and roads into an excellent condition; and
Whereas, the SB 1 project list and overall investment in our local streets and roads
