REGULAR AGENDA
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
Attached is correspondence prepared on behalf of the Board addressed to the Housing, Land Use and Transportation Policy Committee of the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) in opposition of the repeal of the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB 1) via ballot initiative as well as support of the accompanying constitutional protection measure for SB 1 commonly referred to as ACA 5 that will appear on the June 2018 California Primary Election Ballot.
According to CSAC, “The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB 1) was passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor in April 2017. The Legislature also passed an accompanying constitutional protection measure (ACA 5) to ensure the thirty-percent of revenues generated by SB 1 that are not already constitutionally protected are dedicated to transportation. ACA 5 will appear before voters on the June 2018 ballot.”
“Over the next decade, SB 1 will provide approximately $5 billion annually in revenue for local streets and roads, state highways and public transportation through the imposition of new and increased fuel and diesel taxes and improvement fees. From these revenue sources, approximately $1.5 billion per year will be allocated by formula for county roads and city streets.”
For FY 2018-19, the estimated SB 1 Revenues projected for allocation to San Benito County totals approximately $1,731,983.00.
