APPROVE 2021 schedule of Rail Policy Committee meetings.

The proposed schedule of Rail Policy Committee meetings for 2021 follows the existing pattern of meetings on the first Monday of the month at 3:00 p.m. except July and December, when all committee meetings are cancelled due to holidays; and September, when the meeting is on the second Monday due to the Labor Day holiday.

None.

Please mark your calendars for the 2021 meeting schedule as follows (*second Monday):

• January 11*
• February 1
• March 1
• April 5
• May 3
• June 7
• August 2
• September 13*
• October 4
• November 1

Per tradition, the RPC does not meet in July due to summer holidays nor in December due to winter holidays. The January meeting will be on January 11, to avoid conflicts with extended winter holiday schedules, and the September meeting will be on September 13, since the first Monday is Labor Day. Meeting time and location will remain the same: 3:00 p.m. via remote conferencing until further notice, and at the TAMC conference room at 55B Plaza Circle, Salinas, when safe to do so (the agenda will specify).

On occasion, after consultation with staff, the Chair may cancel individual RPC meetings, based on the status of rail items. In those situations, staff will notify the Committee and interested persons at least a week in advance of such cancellation.
