PRESENTER (S): Daniel Butch
LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
REVIEWED BY: Jeffrey B. Richardson
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this public hearing is to receive input on the proposed Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) Secondary Six-Year Program (SSYP), FY 20-25 (Attachment A).
The SSYP allocates funding for construction, maintenance, and improvement of roads in the state secondary system (roads with a route number of 600 or higher). The funds allocated to Albemarle County through the SSYP include state and federal funds for a variety of road improvements. The SSYP for Albemarle County is updated and approved annually and identifies the specific funding source, use, and levels allocated for the immediate fiscal year. The SSYP also identifies projected funding allocations for the next five fiscal years.
The Board held a work session on the SSYP on May 1, 2019. Attachment B is the Executive Summary from that work session and Attachment C is the Report on the Secondary Six-Year Program Priorities and Recommendations from that Work Session. Based on the recommendations and discussion at the May 1st work session, the FY20 Albemarle County Priority List for Secondary Road Improvements, Unpaved Roads was updated and is included as Attachment D. The changes based on Supervisor comments at and since this work session include the removal of Burton Lane (Route 856), Stony Point Pass (Route 600), and Via Lane (Route 672).
STRATEGIC PLAN: Infrastructure Investment: Prioritize, plan, and invest in critical infrastructure that responds to past and future changes and improves the capacity to serve community needs.
DISCUSSION: VDOT staff has provided an updated draft of the FY 20-25 SSYP (Attachment A) that is based on the direction provided by the Board at its previous work session. The available funding for the FY 20-25 SSYP would be used to address the priority projects the Board has supported. The Rio Mills Connector remains the top priority and TeleFee funding dedicated to this project will make up the balance to complete it beyond the Smart Scale funding. SSYP TeleFee Funds in the amount of $2,275,792 currently directed to the Berkmar Drive Extended project will remain dedicated to that project as the Board directed from the May 1, 2019 Work Session.
BUDGET IMPACT: The SSYP is for the expenditure of State secondary road construction funds allocated to the County and does not require the expenditure of County funds except to the extent that any project may also utilize Revenue Sharing funds or otherwise necessitate County resources in support of the project.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
After the public hearing, staff recommends that the Board adopt the attached Resolution (Attachment E) approving the FY 20-25 Secondary Six-Year Program and authorizing the County Executive to sign the FY 20-25 Secondary Six-Year Program.
Staff also recommends that the Board vote to approve the final FY20 Albemarle County Priority List for Secondary Road Improvements, Unpaved Roads (Attachment D) for the record.
