APPROVE 2022 schedule of Rail Policy Committee meetings.

The proposed schedule of Rail Policy Committee meetings for 2022 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 January and September, when the meeting is on the second Monday due to the New Years or Labor Day holiday.

None.

Please mark your calendars for the 2022 meeting schedule as follows (*second Monday):

• January 10*
• February 7
• March 7
• April 4
• May 2
• June 6
• August 1
• September 12*
• October 3
• November 7

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 10, to avoid conflicts with extended winter holiday schedules, and the September meeting will be on September 12, since the first Monday is Labor Day. Meeting time will remain the same: 3:00 p.m.

Depending on state law and pandemic status, the meetings may be held via remote conferencing, at the TAMC conference room at 55-B Plaza Circle, Salinas, or other location to be determined in advance of each meeting (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.
