RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 2026-060, approving the Measure I Five-Year Capital Project Needs Analysis (CPNA) for Fiscal Years 2027/2028 to 2031/2032; and authorize the City Manager to execute all the necessary documents on behalf of the City.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the adoption of the Measure I Five-Year CPNA. San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) staff will utilize the City’s CPNA submittal to prepare a cash-flow analysis, which serves as the basis for programming and allocating Measure I funds. Final funding allocations, including approval of eligible projects for reimbursement, are determined by the SBCTA Board as part of the Authority’s annual budget process, typically considered each spring.

BACKGROUND
In November 1989, San Bernardino County voters approved Measure I, authorizing the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) to levy a half-cent sales tax to fund transportation projects and improvements throughout incorporated and unincorporated areas of the County. The original Measure I was effective for 20 years, from 1990 through 2010.
In November 2004, voters approved an extension of the program through Measure I 2010-2040, continuing the half-cent sales tax for an additional 30 years. The extension provides an ongoing source of funding for regional transportation infrastructure through 2040.
The Measure I 2010-2040 Expenditure Plan includes the Valley Major Street Program, which provides funding for regional arterial improvements identified in the SBCTA Nexus Study. The Nexus Study establishes the framework for allocating shared development costs and Measure I revenues to eligible regional transportation improvements. To qualify for Measure I funding, as well as certain State and Federal transportation funds administered by SBCTA, projects must be included in the Nexus Study and be eligible under the Major Street Arterial Sub-Program or Interchange Program.
The Measure I Strategic Plan also requires local jurisdictions to annually adopt a Five-Year Capital Projects Needs Analysis (CPNA). The CPNA identifies anticipated transportation project and program needs by fiscal year, including funding sources, estimated revenues and expenditures, and project phasing. SBCTA uses the CPNA to evaluate projected cash flow requirements for the Valley Freeway Interchange and Arterial Programs and to support its annual budgeting and programming decisions.
The City’s Five-Year CPNA and accompanying Resolution must be submitted to SBCTA on or before September 30, 2026.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The Five-Year CPNA serves as the basis for establishing reimbursement eligibility and provides the City’s financial framework for long-term capital planning. It aligns project delivery schedules with projected cash flows and requires ongoing monitoring to ensure compliance with SBCTA guidelines, reconcile near-term cash advances with future equitable share allocations, and avoid over-commitment of limited transportation funds. The CPNA also provides a projection of anticipated revenues, current allocation balances, and approved advances, as summarized below.

The City has an approved cash advance of $8,064,240, previously authorized by SBCTA at the City’s request, which earmarks a portion of the City’s Measure I Arterial Sub-Program allocation for the Pine Avenue Bridge Project. The cash advance provides funding to support project delivery without relying solely on incremental, year-to-year Measure I reimbursements. Should the City elect to apply any remaining equitable share balance toward additional eligible projects, an amendment to the existing cash advance arrangement with SBCTA would be required.
Timely adoption of the CPNA is necessary to maintain the City’s eligibility for Measure I reimbursements and secure funding for critical regional arterial projects. Approval of the attached resolution will authorize staff to transmit the CPNA to SBCTA by the required September 30, 2026 deadline, ensuring the City continues to maximize its equitable share of Measure I funds while supporting long-range transportation and infrastructure priorities.
