RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 2025-059, approving the Measure I Five-Year Capital Project Needs Analysis (CPNA) for Fiscal Years 2026/2027 to 2030/2031; and authorize the City Manager to execute all the necessary documents on behalf of the City.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact with the adoption of the Measure I Five-Year Capital Project Needs Analysis (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 allocating Measure I funds. Final allocation decisions, including the approval of eligible projects for reimbursement, are made by the SBCTA Board in conjunction with adoption of the Authority’s annual budget, typically considered each spring.

BACKGROUND
In November 1989, San Bernardino County voters approved Measure I, which authorized the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) to levy a half-cent sales tax. This tax was intended to fund transportation projects and improvements across both incorporated and unincorporated areas of San Bernardino County. The measure was in effect for 20 years, from 1990 to 2010.
To continue supporting these initiatives beyond the original timeframe, Measure I was extended in November 2004 through a new initiative known as Measure I 2010-2040. This extension authorized continuation of the tax for an additional 30 years, from 2010 to 2040, ensuring ongoing financial resources for transportation infrastructure.
The Measure I 2010-2040 Expenditure Plan includes the Valley Major Street Program, which funds regional arterial projects identified in the SBCTA Nexus Study. The Nexus Study provides a framework for shared development costs and guides the allocation of Measure I funds toward specific regional transportation projects. To qualify for Measure I and for State or Federal Transportation funds administered by SBCTA, projects must be listed in the Nexus Study and fall within the Major Street Arterial Sub-Program and Interchange Program.
Additionally, the Measure I Strategic Plan mandates that local jurisdictions annually adopt a Five-Year Capital Projects Needs Analysis (CPNA). This analysis documents project and program needs by fiscal year, detailing anticipated funding sources, amounts, and project phasing. SBCTA uses the CPNA to assess cash flow needs for the Valley Freeway Interchange and Arterial Program so staff can make informed decisions during the annual budgeting process. The CPNA and Resolution are due to SBCTA on or before September 30, 2025.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The Five-Year CPNA is the basis for establishing reimbursement eligibility and serves as the City’s financial framework for long-term capital planning. It aligns project delivery schedules with projected cash flows and requires continuous monitoring to ensure compliance with SBCTA guidelines, reconcile near-term cash advances with future equitable share allocations, and safeguard against over-commitment of limited transportation funds. The CPNA also provides a clear projection of anticipated revenues, current balances, and approved advances, as summarized below.

The City has an approved cash advance of $12,747,348, previously authorized by SBCTA at the City’s request, earmarking a portion of the Measure I Arterial Sub-Program allocation for the Pine Avenue Bridge and Edison Avenue projects. This advance provides immediate funding, enabling the City to initiate design and construction activities without reliance on incremental, year-to-year Measure I reimbursements. If the City wishes to apply its remaining equitable share balance to additional projects, an amendment to the existing 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 to secure funding for critical regional arterial projects. Approval of the attached resolution will allow staff to transmit the CPNA to SBCTA by the required September 30, 2025 deadline, ensuring the City continues to maximize its equitable share of Measure I funds while supporting long-range transportation and infrastructure priorities.
