Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
Road Fund (1200 325)
DISCUSSION:
Section 2121 of the Streets and Highways Code requires an annual report to be submitted to the State of California showing revisions to the County Maintained Road System. Approval of the attached resolutions will allow the county to continue to receive highway use tax funds from the State of California for the maintenance of the roads within the County Maintained Road System. Highway use tax funds are calculated from the total mileage reported by the county to California Department of Transportation.
Possible revisions to the County Maintained Road System that affect the amount of maintained mileage include, without limitation, all of the following:
• The addition of roads due to relinquishments to the county from the State of California;
• The addition of new roads;
• The addition of mileage due to the re-log of roads;
• The addition of mileage due to the extension of existing roads;
• The deletion of mileage due to complete vacation or partial vacation of roads;
• The deletion of roads and/or mileage due to complete annexation or partial annexation of roads by another jurisdiction;
• The deletion of roads due to a road name change;
• The deletion of mileage due to the re-log of roads;
• The deletion of mileage due to termination of maintenance;
• The road name is changed and the road number is changed (division of a road);
• The road name is changed, but the road number remains unchanged;
• The road name is changed and the road number is changed (same road);
• The road number changed, but the road name remains unchanged (division of road); and
• The road number is changed but the road name remains unchanged.
The specific reasons for each of the requested revisions are reflected in the comments column in Exhibit A of the resolution approving annual revisions to the County Maintained Road System.
All of the roads listed in the resolution accepting roads into the County Maintained Road System were either constructed as new roads, constructed as extensions of existing roads or were existing roads that were relinquished to the county from the State of California. For new roads and extension of existing roads created as part of a subdivision, the rights of way were previously accepted by the county on the subdivision maps. Roads constructed as part of a subdivision have been inspected and approved by the Department of Public Works. Approval of the attached resolutions will bring all of the roads into the County Maintained Road System and will allow the county to obtain highway users tax funds from the State of California for the maintenance of those roads.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Approval of the attached resolutions will allow the county to receive highway use tax funds from the State of California for maintenance of the roads within the County Maintained Road System. This item does not affect the Humboldt County General Fund.
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK:
The recommended actions support the Board of Supervisors’ Strategic Framework by providing for and maintaining infrastructure.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:

ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
