RECOMMENDED ACTION:

SUMMARY:

Mayor Dave Potter (RPC Vice Chair) and Mayor Mike LeBarre (RPC Chair) have been appointed to the Coast Rail Coordinating Council, and Mayor Potter has been its Chair, for several years. Staff asks the RPC to consider recommending the Board reappoint both to the Council for 2021.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The Agency budget includes funding for Board member travel to Coast Rail Coordinating Council and associated meetings. In the near term, these meetings are expected to be virtual.

DISCUSSION:
In January 2020, the TAMC Board approved the Rail Policy Committee recommended appointment of Dave Potter as the TAMC representative and Mike LeBarre as the TAMC alternate for a one-year term, and the CRCC Policy Committee selected Mr. Potter as the Chair. The Rail Policy Committee is now asked to recommend appointments to the CRCC Policy Committee for the period ending January 2022. The appointment involves attending up to four meetings of the Committee and potentially representing the group at a legislative day in Sacramento with the Intercity Passenger Rail group and the California Passenger Rail Summit.
