ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING A LIST OF PROJECTS PROPOSED TO BE FUNDED BY SENATE BILL 1 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 AND RELATED CEQA EXEMPTION (DISTRICTS: ALL)

To qualify for Senate Bill 1 funding, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors must adopt a resolution annually by July 1st approving the list of proposed projects for the upcoming fiscal year, which in this case is 2026-27. This resolution is required for submission to the California Transportation Commission and covers all county districts, ensuring alignment with state funding mandates. The resolution also includes a related CEQA exemption to streamline environmental review for the proposed projects. On April 22, 2026, the Board directed the Department of Public Works to utilize these funds specifically to maintain and improve County-maintained roads, with allocations directed toward five key areas: resurfacing, drainage, guardrails, bridges, and asset management. The funding will support critical infrastructure preservation efforts across the county, with the resolution serving as the formal mechanism to secure and direct SB1 resources. The project details are publicly accessible through the California Environmental Quality Act online system, and the primary point of contact for inquiries is Samir Nuhaily, Deputy Director, reachable via phone or email provided in the official record.
