11. Financial Impact:
There would be no impact to the {general Fund. This bill will bring more money to the County for
road maintenance and reconstruction.
111. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
Senate Bill 1477 allocates $600 million, $200 million annually for three years, from the State
Highway Account to counties (50%) and cities (50%)for maintenance, reconstruction and repair
of storm damage to local streets and highways. The city or county receiving an allocation would
be required to expend a specified amount within one year of disbursement of an allocation. The
estimated amount that would be allocated to Contra Costa County is $2.5 million per year, or$7.5
million total.
The allocation from the State Highway Account will not affect the projects funded in the 1998
State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
Lack of support for this bill would not indicate the County's interest in bringing more money to the
County for road maintenance.
