During the RMRA <br />program application period, each year local agencies are required to adopt a Resolution <br />that includes a list of planned eligible projects that will utilize respective fiscal year <br />RMRA funding, and submit the Resolution to the California Transportation Commission <br />(CTC) (Exhibit 1). Each proposed RMRA-funded project must be specifically <br />differentiated from the Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA) funding. <br />The City will receive funding in an estimated amount of $7,673,409 in Fiscal Year 2023- <br />24 (FY23-24) from RMRA revenues. Each year, the City must submit a proposed RMRA <br />projects list to the CTC, and as required, provide updates on the project progress. The <br />proposed projects list must include a project description, specific location, proposed <br />schedule for its completion, and the project’s estimated useful life. The proposed <br />RMRA-funded projects will be incorporated into the FY23-24 Capital Improvement <br />Program (CIP) Budget, and staff has prepared Fiscal Year FY23-24 CIP Project Sheets <br />for each of the projects (Exhibit 2). Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council <br />adopt a resolution recognizing the proposed FY 23-24 RMRA-funded project list.
