Public Hearing- VDOT FY 21-26 Secondary Six-Year Plan.

SUBJECT/PROPOSAL/REQUEST: To receive public comment on the proposed Secondary Six-Year Plan for Fiscal Years 2021 through 2026 in Albemarle County, and on the Secondary System Construction Budget for Fiscal Year 2021.
ITEM TYPE: Regular Action Item
STAFF CONTACT(S): Richardson, Walker, Kamptner, Herrick, Filardo, Rapp, McDermott, Butch
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 Plan (SSYP), FY 21-26 (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 supported by consent the proposed SSYP, priorities, and recommendations on April 1, 2020, with no changes requested. Attachment B is the Executive Summary and Attachment C is the Report on the Secondary Six-Year Plan Priorities and Recommendations from April 1, 2020. The FY21 Albemarle County Priority List for Secondary Road Improvements, Unpaved Roads, is included as Attachment D.
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: Since the Proposed SSYP was presented to the Board in April, the Department of Transportation provided an update on preliminary allocations, which identified additional funds available for future paving projects. This funding has been added as a balance in the future year FY 2026 without being assigned to any project as identified in the Proposed SSYP (Attachment A) under future unpaved account. As this funding gets closer to availability, staff will identify paving projects for the Board to consider as options for this funding.
BUDGET IMPACT: The SSYP outlines the expenditure of State/VDOT secondary road construction funds allocated to the County. The SSYP does not require the expenditure of County funds unless the Board directs additional funding from the County general fund be appropriated to a project, such as through the use of the revenue sharing program.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
After the public hearing, staff recommends that the Board adopt the attached Resolution (Attachment E) approving the FY 21-26 Secondary Six-Year Plan and authorizing the County Executive to sign the FY 21-26 Secondary Six-Year Plan.
