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. This information is reflected in Attachment 1. Approval of the resolution 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 Caltrans.
Possible revisions to the County Maintained Road System that affect the amount of maintained mileage include:
(1) The addition of roads due to relinquishments to the County of Humboldt from the State of California;
(2) The addition of new roads;
(3) The addition of mileage due to the re-log of roads;
(4) The addition of mileage due to the extension of existing roads;
(5) The deletion of mileage due to complete vacation or partial vacation of roads;
(6) The deletion of roads and/or mileage due to complete annexation or partial annexation of roads by another jurisdiction;
(7) The deletion of roads due to a road name change;
(8) The deletion of mileage due to the re-log of roads;
(9) The deletion of mileage due to termination of maintenance;
(10) The road name is changed and the road number is changed (division of a road);
(11) The road name is changed but the road number remains unchanged;
(12) The road name is changed and the road number is changed (same road);
(13) The road number changed but the road name remains unchanged (division of road); and
(14) The road number is changed but the road name remains unchanged.
The specific reason for the revision is reflected in the comments column in Exhibit A of Attachment
number 1.
No roads were:
(1) Constructed as new roads;
(2) Constructed as extensions of existing roads; or
(3) Existing roads that were relinquished to the county from the State of California.
