Both projects design phases are locally funded with Senate Bill 1 (SB1) Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funding. Staff recommends Council adopt the 35th Amendment to the Annual Appropriations Resolution No. 2022-154 in order to provide appropriations in the Public Works FY2023 Capital Budget to sufficiently cover anticipated expenditures for these projects. BACKGROUND Staff is seeking Council approval of the attached AAR amendment which will appropriate funding for both the Knight Avenue Improvement Project and the Traffic Signal Improvement Project at Church and Walnut Avenues. The Knight Avenue Improvement Projects design and right of way phases are locally funded with SB1 RMRA funding and the construction phase is funded with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding for a total project cost of $989,200, with $77,000 of appropriations being requested in the current FY2023 budget year. The remaining project cost of $912,200 will be included in future fiscal year capital improvement budgets. The Traffic Signal Improvement Project at Church and Walnut Avenues is funded with local SB1 RMRA funds for a total project cost of $1,100,900 with $90,400 of appropriations being requested in the current FY 2023 budget. The remaining project cost of $1,010,500 will be included in future fiscal year capital improvement budgets. The Knight Avenue Improvement project will construct the east half of Knight Avenue between Grove Avenue and Jensen Avenue to current city design standards including curb, gutter, sidewalk, street trees and new pavement. The Traffic Signal Intersection Improvement project at Church and Walnut Avenues will construct a new traffic signal, curb, gutter, curb ramps and minor roadway improvements. Both projects are identified as leverage projects for the Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) Grant. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS By the definition provided in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15378 this item does not qualify as a project as defined by the CEQA Guidelines.
