Hawaiian Gardens adopts SB 1 street‑repair project list; staff outlined funding and street segments
Summary
Council adopted Resolution No. 006‑2025 to identify SB 1 (RMRA) eligible projects for fiscal 2025–26 and to submit the project list to the California Transportation Commission. Staff described available SB 1 funds and prioritized several residential and collector street segments for rehabilitation.
Hawaiian Gardens — The City Council on May 14 adopted Resolution No. 006‑2025, which identifies street improvement projects eligible for Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funding under the Road Repair and Accountability Act (SB 1) and forwards the city’s project list to the California Transportation Commission.
Public Works staff told the council the city is projected to receive SB 1 funds for the coming fiscal year and must submit an adopted list of eligible projects to remain eligible for apportionments. “The city is projected to receive $352,000 in SP 1 funds in fiscal year 2024–25 that can be used for the fiscal year 2025–26 street improvement project,” staff said during the presentation.
Staff described a five‑year pavement management program adopted by the council in February 2025 and said the proposed FY 2025–26 residential street rehabilitation will be funded with a mix of SB 1 (RMRA), Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Measure R and Measure M funds. The presentation named street segments proposed for rehabilitation, including portions of Carson Street, Norwalk Boulevard, Civic Center Drive, 20 First Street, 214th Street, Farlow Street and Wartime Avenue.
During the presentation staff referenced two different SB 1 allocation figures in sequence: an initial statement that staff proposed applying $260,000 of SB 1 funds, and later a slide that recommended allocating $360,000 of SB 1 funds to the FY 2025–26 rehabilitation project. The council approved the resolution as presented; staff and council did not reconcile the two figures on the record during the meeting.
Councilmember discussion was brief and concluded with a unanimous motion to approve the resolution. The roll call vote was recorded as: Councilmember Farfan — yes; Councilmember Roa — yes; Councilmember Vargas — yes; Mayor Pro Tem Del Rio — yes; Mayor De Pala — yes.
The adopted resolution and submitted project list make the named streets eligible for RMRA apportionments and allow staff to pursue the identified mix of local and state transportation funding for design and construction.
