Chair Richards opened the Finance and Audit Committee meeting of the California High‑Speed Rail Authority for public comment, said several committee members were not present, took public comment, and then canceled the remainder of the committee meeting.
Before adjourning, Chair Richards acknowledged the appointment of a new chief financial officer, Jamie Metallica, and welcomed her to the role. He also noted that committee member Jim Gometti was present on Zoom.
During public comment the committee heard from an in‑person speaker, Kimberly Slaughter of TY LAN, and multiple callers on Zoom including Roland, David Schwagel (who described an upcoming US High Speed Rail Association conference and his own book project), and Hesham (who requested clearer Central Valley right‑of‑way updates). Chair Richards said the Finance and Audit Committee will meet again at the next board meeting and that the committee meeting that normally precedes that board meeting will be held then.
No formal votes or committee actions were taken on agenda items; the chair ended the session by adjourning the meeting in Fresno.
