- Zeller
The purpose of the Measure X annual audit is to confirm that the funding recipients -- TAMC, the County of Monterey and the twelve incorporated cities -- have complied with the voter-approved requirements specified in Ordinance 2016-01 for the Transportation Safety and Investment Plan.  One of the responsibilities of the Measure X Transportation Oversight Committee is to review the independent audits of the jurisdictions, and prepare and present an annual report regarding the administration of the program. A subcommittee of the Oversight Committee reviewed the reports and staff will provide information on the receipt and review of annual audit compliance data.
.
5.RECEIVE update on Measure X regional projects on the state highway system.
- Bilse
Measure X funds are critical to the successful construction of several projects planned on the state highway system in Monterey County. TAMC staff will be presenting an update on the main projects planned including: State Route 156/Castroville Boulevard Interchange, Scenic State Route 68 Corridor, US 101 South of Salinas, and SURF! Bus Rapid Transit project.
.
6.

DISCUSS options for meetings in 2023.

- Muck

Amendments to the Brown Act complicate how TAMC can hold meetings starting in March 2023. The Executive Committee discussed meeting options on February 1 and voted to recommend the Board adopt a policy to follow traditional Brown Act rules to ensure a quorum of voting members at Board, Executive Committee, and Rail Policy Committee meetings, that will be discussed at the February 22 Board meeting.
