		- Castillo
		The Proposition 68 Trails and Greenways program awards competitive grants for projects that provide non-motorized infrastructure and that promote new or alternate access to parks and other natural habitat to promote active transportation and opportunities to connect with nature. The Laguna Grande to Roberts Lake segment of the Fort Ord Regional Trail and Greenway proposes a wheelchair accessible trail entering Laguna Grande Regional Park at Fremont Blvd and Highway 218, rehabilitation of existing trails within the Park, and a signalized crossing at Del Monte Blvd to connect to the Coastal Trail at Roberts Lake. The proposed segment also includes a multi-use sidewalk connection to the new North Fremont median bike lanes from Casanova Ave into Laguna Grande Regional Park.

	4.	RECIEVE update on state legislative issues and DISCUSS topics for the 2020 draft legislative program.
		- Watson/Khouri
		Staff and legislative analyst Gus Khouri will present a state legislative update and request input for the 2020 legislative program.
.

	5.	RECEIVE information and PROVIDE direction to staff as to the unsolicted proposal for interim use of the Monterey Branch Line right-of-way for a recreational enterprise.
		- Watson
		Staff has received multiple proposals over the years to use the Monterey Branch Line right-of-way for recreational purposes. A proposal from the Museum of Handcar Technology LLC, received in July 2019, is more developed than any received to date, but such effort would require a competitive process in which all interested entities could participate. Work on such a proposal is outside the Agency’s adopted work program, goals and objectives.
.

	6.	RECEIVE update and PROVIDE DIRECTION to staff on the proposal to issue bonds for the removal of buildings on the former Fort Ord, including the Transportation Agency properties.
		- Zeller
		The Fort Ord Reuse Authority (FORA) is investigating the legality and feasibility of issuing debt against its statutory share of property tax revenue to fund the demolition of buildings within the former Fort Ord. The Transportation Agency could benefit from this bond issuance by having the Agency-owned properties on the former Fort Ord included in the schedule of building removals.
.


	7.	RECEIVE report on draft TAMC Board meeting agenda.


	- Muck
