As per Scott:

Trying to decide on the best way to define a temporal expression for a recurring job where the temporal expression should be evaluated using a timezone other than whatever the default timezone is for the system.

The use case is having a system that runs on UTC time but needs to send a report at 5 pm Pacific Time every day regardless of whether or not daylight savings is in effect.

Two options:

1. Add a field to JobSandbox such as recurrenceTimeZone (or better name!)
2. Use whatever timezone is available in the RunTime data service context

Based on the discussion on Dev Mailing list #1 will be used to implement this feature.
