Parlier risks losing $700,000 in SB1 road funding after disrupted meeting
Summary
Council disruption prevented action on Resolution No. 2024-31, which staff said would adopt the SB1 list of road projects and unlock approximately $700,000 from Fresno COG; missing the submission deadline could delay repairs to local streets.
Council members did not complete their agenda after three members left the room mid-meeting, preventing formal approval of Resolution No. 2024-31 — the local action to adopt a list of projects funded by the SB1 Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. Speaker 2 described the agenda item as "approval of the list of roads to get repaired next year," and identified Fresno COG as the coordinating body for the funding.
When asked how much funding was at stake, Speaker 2 stated "It's $700,000," and Speaker 1 warned that failure to approve the list before a month-end deadline could mean the city would have to "beg for forgiveness" and risk not receiving the funds until the following year.
Because the meeting did not produce formal action, staff said the item will need to be rescheduled or otherwise processed in time to meet the SB1 program deadline. No vote tally or motion was recorded in the disrupted session.
