RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the use of
Proposition 1B – Local Streets and Roads Improvement, Congestion Relief, and
Traffic Safety Account Funds, for Capital Improvement Projects on the following
streets: Adams Boulevard, Barman Avenue (from Overland Avenue to Coombs
Avenue), East Boulevard, Eastham Drive (from Higuera Street to Steller Drive),

BACKGROUND:
In 2006, California voters approved Proposition 1B which authorized the issuance of
$19.925 billion in bonds to fund a variety of transportation projects. This included $2
billion for cities and counties to fund the maintenance and improvement of local
transportation facilities.
As required, in February 2008, the City Council adopted a resolution approving the
use of the first of two allocations of Proposition 1B funds for pavement
improvements on various streets throughout the City. The total allocation was
$656,111.15. These funds have been expended. City of Culver City, California
Agenda Item Report
DISCUSSION:
The State has informed the City that the second and remaining allocation to Culver
City may be available in the near future after the sale of bonds. The total amount is
$606,427.82.
Taking into consideration recommendations from the pavement management
system program, field reports from Public Works Department staff, and requests
from residents, the City Engineer reviewed and selected the following streets for
improvement:
1. Adams Boulevard
2. Barman Avenue (from Overland Avenue to Coombs Avenue)
3. East Boulevard
4. Eastham Drive (from Higuera Street to Steller Drive)
5. Girard Avenue
6. Jean Place
7. Lenawee Avenue (from northerly city limits to Ivy Way)
8. Motor Avenue (from Culver Boulevard to Braddock Drive)
9. Pearson Street
10. Perry Drive
11. Washington Place (from Sepulveda Boulevard to Sawtelle Boulevard).
The scope of work for the project consists of grinding two (2) inches of existing
asphalt pavement and replacing it with paving fabric and 2 inches of new asphalt.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the aforementioned list of streets to
be funded with Proposition 1B funds for local road improvements.
Upon receipt of these funds, staff will advertise the project for construction bids. It is
not known at this time when the funds will be disbursed as it is contingent upon the
successful sale of State bonds.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
To receive funds, the California Department of Finance must accept the plan and
then notify the State Controller’s office. The funds will be disbursed after the sale of
bonds. Once these funds are received by the City and the work is bid out, staff will
request a budget amendment to appropriate the funds in P-903 - Proposition 1B
Bond Fund Street Improvements (42900903).
The use of Proposition 1B funds will help reduce deferred maintenance on City
streets by using voter approved State bond funds to supplement and leverage City
General funds ($225,000) and Proposition 42 funds ($367,554) appropriated in FY City of Culver City, California
Agenda Item Report
2009-10. Nevertheless, there continues to be approximately a $20 million backlog in
street improvements in the City.
