Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors adopt a Resolution to:
a. Accept the 2020 Annual Report of the Mileage of Maintained County Roads, tabulated at 1,261.67 center line miles; and
b. Authorize the Director of Public Works, Facilities, & Parks to submit Monterey County’s 2020 Annual Report to the California Department of Transportation.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The California Streets and Highway Code Section 2121 requires counties to submit an Annual Report to the California Department of Transportation in May of each year. This report is to identify any additions or deletions to the Mileage of Maintained County Roads.
Revisions to the Mileage of Maintained County Roads may result from several occurrences including the construction of new roads, approval of freeway maintenance agreements, abandonments, annexations, and/or corrections to errors in existing tabulations. This annual report is necessary for calculating distribution of certain road funds, such as Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA), Measure X, and SB1.
In 2019 the maintained mileage for Monterey County was reported as 1,256.93 center line miles. Attachment B provides the summary of additions and deletions in 2020. In 2020, there were 4.74 miles of additions and no deletions, and the total maintained mileage for Monterey County is 1,261.67 center line miles.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The California Department of Transportation will incorporate these revisions into the state certified mileage of maintained county roads for Monterey County.
FINANCING:
This report was prepared by staff and is funded out of the Road Fund, therefore, there is no financial impact to the General Fund. However, miles maintained is a factor used in calculating HUTA, SB-1, and Measure X funds. HUTA and SB-1 funds are apportioned with a complex formula which includes the maintained mileage as one of the variables. Measure X allocations are based on a formula that includes both population and road mileage. Due to the minor change in mileage, this is not expected to have a significant effect on the County’s HUTA, SB-1, and Measure X allocations. It is not known at this time what impacts the current COVID 19 pandemic may have on these funding sources; however, staff anticipates a reduction in the amount of funding received in all three sources of funds.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRATEGIC INITIATIVES:
This report is required by State law for Monterey County to receive its allocation of HUTA, Measure X, and SB-1 funds. Submitting this report timely assures accurate payment of HUTA, Measure X, and SB-1 funds for the Road Fund in the next fiscal year.
