Casey Sylvester, presenting staff’s evaluation and selection, described a multi-step data-driven process that used the 2024–2028 Pavement Preservation Plan, PCI field data, traffic volumes (where available), road classification (regional vs. local), proximity and cost estimates to rank and group roadway segments into projects. Using those steps, staff produced eight regional and seven local candidate projects and recommended packaging four regional projects and two local projects for FY26.

Chris Martinovich summarized the proposed slate and funding: staff recommended four regional projects (Fairview Drive North from the Fifth Street roundabout to U.S. 50; Bud Eye Way including a segment of Airport Road; Clear Creek Avenue (Frontage Road/US 395 frontage to Snyder); and South Edmonds Drive rehabilitation) with an estimated combined cost of $3,602,000. For local roads staff recommended two projects (Hell’s Bells–Marsh preservation and a Racetrack Road neighborhood preservation package) with a combined estimated cost of $954,000. Staff said the FY26 project budget available to the RTC was approximately $4.6 million after roll-forward funds; the recommended regional-plus-local package totaled roughly $4.56 million, leaving an estimated $77,000 in available funding. Staff cautioned that construction cost volatility remains a risk and said they had built contingencies into estimates.

Commissioners pressed staff on several topics. Commissioner Lucia Maloney asked whether private developers were using polymer-modified mixes on new subdivisions; staff said they believed private developers are using polymer-modified oil mixes. Mayor/Chair Bagwell and others asked why very low-PCI local segments such as Empire Ranch Road and Desatoya Drive did not rise to the top of the recommended list. Staff explained the prioritization gives higher weight to regional roads (collectors/arterials), routes with transit service and projects that preserve investments (the “keep good roads good” approach); it also factors cost and constructability. Staff noted Desatoya Drive’s full reconstruction cost estimate was high (about $3,500,000 for the whole segment) and that some very low-PCI local roads are expensive to reconstruct, which reduces the number of miles the budget can cover.

Commissioners discussed possible swaps. Commissioner Maloney suggested staff discuss Clear Creek with the local tribe to explore potential partnership or federal tribal funding for that segment; staff said they would raise the idea with tribal staff. Several commissioners and members of the public urged considering replacing Clear Creek in the FY26 package with an Empire Ranch project because Empire Ranch repair would cover more miles for the dollar and addresses immediate neighborhood need. Commissioner Maloney and at least one other commissioner expressed support for substituting Empire Ranch for Clear Creek, but no formal motion or vote to change the recommended package was recorded in the transcript.

Public comment: Mark Costa, a resident, urged greater transparency in scoring and warned that the city may not have funds to fully repair the worst roads; he suggested, for some severely deteriorated segments, that converting to lower standards (e.g., gravel) might be a candid option if reconstruction dollars are not available.

Staff outlined next steps: finalize scopes of work, coordinate with utilities and other agencies, begin design in fall and schedule construction for summer 2026, and pursue additional federal funding where eligible. Commissioners asked staff to produce additional scenario analyses showing what different funding levels (for example a dedicated sales-tax scenario) would do to projected pavement conditions and the list of projects.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Carson City - Regional Transportation Commission - Jun 11, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Staff proposed a slate of District 3 preservation and rehabilitation projects totalling roughly $4.56 million and recommended funding allocations; commissioners and members of the public questioned prioritization, costs for reconstruction (notably Desatoya Drive) and whether to swap Clear Creek for Empire Ranch.","taxTitle","Carson City, Ormsby County, Nevada","taxId",4609,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6533366,"Carson City staff update RTC on pavement-performance model; citywide PCI averages down slightly",434,1293000,1727000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3779514-930933f3ba90092b7f5da83efcbf6ae8&start=1293&end=1727","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3779514-930933f3ba90092b7f5da83efcbf6ae8/thumbnail_1293000.jpg","/articles/6533366/Carson-City/Ormsby-County/Nevada/Carson-City-staff-update-RTC-on-pavement-performance-model-citywide-PCI-averages-down-slightly","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6533366-bd02ef4cc3aa819d401eb5d8c64e577c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448452&Signature=gerdz2KTQf1Af~FRYrVSa9O7DciGyGWIHa5jBgS-zllvHENXlLBL7Au6dLFSO2laM3h7viW91LF2PplSnOq8cql1VrkXVGh7pEtuKJ7TNGOVkRw3ZxzXQF48pVyovWgK3Ad3r18ZTjeU2KtaZ7QHUvgEn4qtZKiRfVpOpiV-UiU8Nrjih8TvrSaOXOvxPqDUYrCE62bNRczX7jTJk90sFbBEztqgKpsCObAdzQjHbiIy1VTngRZ8uI-2kv9QpljL5KiDvIclKvdPeHEw2HmdXbiPSqft4hC3hRu98e6gNHG~dzrceO-hCjej9I3bMpgvoOYLdwDqBS7u6-5OUOEgiA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Chris Martinovich, Transportation Manager, presented the Regional Transportation Commission with the 2025 update to Carson City’s pavement performance model, which incorporates the city’s December 2024 field survey and revised performance curves derived from the PAVER pavement asset-management software.

Martinovich reported Carson City maintains about 287 paved centerline miles (approximately 83 miles classified as regional collectors and arterials, and 204 miles classified as local roads). Using the December 2024 survey, staff calculated a citywide average pavement condition index (PCI) of about 60, with regional roads averaging roughly PCI 69 and local roads roughly PCI 55. Martinovich said the new, locally calibrated performance curves generally show slower deterioration than previous models but that the long-term projections still show substantial decline: by 2050 regional roads are projected around PCI 51, local roads around PCI 26 and a citywide average near PCI 35 under current funding scenarios.

Martinovich explained material differences in asphalt binders: non–polymer-modified binders (the majority of Carson City’s older pavements) and polymer-modified binders used in newer reconstruction, with polymer-modified pavements offering improved performance at both low and high temperatures. He said Carson City is switching toward polymer-modified mixes for new work, which NDOT also uses for state routes. He also reminded commissioners that the PAVER projections are updated as staff collect more field data; newer polymer-modified pavements lack long-term (30+ year) datasets in Carson City.

On annual funding need, Martinovich said the model still points to an annual maintenance and preservation need exceeding $20 million to hold current pavement conditions; he emphasized that the updated curves produced only modest net change to earlier projections. He directed commissioners to an interactive online map (via QR code in the packet) so residents can look up PCI values for individual streets.

Commissioners asked staff to run scenario analyses (for example, the effect of a quarter-cent sales tax dedicated to roads) in a future briefing; Martinovich said staff can prepare funding-scenario runs and recommended returning to the board later this year with more detailed scenario comparisons, possibly timed with bond discussions.","Carson City transportation staff presented updated pavement-performance curves and a December 2024 pavement condition survey showing a citywide average PCI of 60, regional PCI higher than local, and continued projections that maintaining current conditions requires more than $20 million annually.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6533371,"RTC backs CAMPO 5339 bus-vehicle application with 20% local match commitment",344,944000,1288000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3779514-930933f3ba90092b7f5da83efcbf6ae8&start=944&end=1288","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3779514-930933f3ba90092b7f5da83efcbf6ae8/thumbnail_944000.jpg","/articles/6533371/Carson-City/Ormsby-County/Nevada/RTC-backs-CAMPO-5339-bus-vehicle-application-with-20-local-match-commitment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6533371-6c353786316a26af22b1771f3b7bd3c0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448452&Signature=Dumy9AhaOhS8Vibf2~L7ZR~FN5RSLnAQGGvmo62~PHt8oVcaHk5QwHI-u8JceWuo7cFjUb4YVqPLyq0Ubcb7BzWyzlW3IYuFZ1jUQ6ZbWWoQZp7K1APj9m0PTaFvxOwnsn~GIRboOWxDDy0ZO4EoQY0uVIKudMBk0TFF0AWTM3RwYHh945zzYSku6SI8Vw5SJsDrkZHcFJ0D0OOxBaWU~eAGFe9sjG-Ok3bp~s9Ws~GDnTXlKFw8qZKDdnGPa5w7MbFs1a4T1ohr5UXCBqDTNAzmv1kFzLwwgD~4WNKHT67d58McToVU7vPuuLMRnWpp-CPZZ~fV3HPvL69Fl8KlWA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Carson City Regional Transportation Commission voted to request that CAMPO submit an FTA Section 5339 bus and bus facility program (5339B) competitive application on behalf of the RTC for an ADA-compliant transit vehicle, with the RTC pledging to provide the required 20% local match if the grant is awarded.

Marcus Myers, Transit Coordinator, said the 5339A apportionment would provide $122,280 toward the vehicle with a local match of $21,579 for a total of $143,859, but that the apportionment alone would not cover the full cost of an ADA-compliant vehicle. Staff therefore requested approval to provide an additional $22,228 in local match to CAMPO for a competitive 5339B application to cover the remaining vehicle cost.

Commissioners asked what would happen if the competitive 5339B award is not received. Myers replied that staff could program the vehicle purchase through the RTC’s standard 5307 apportionment (the local operating apportionment) if the competitive application is unsuccessful, though that would use funds otherwise available for operations and services.

Commissioner Schuette moved to approve Resolution 2025-RTC-R-2 and request that CAMPO submit a 5339B application with the RTC providing the 20% local match; the motion was seconded and carried unanimously. Staff also noted the same typographical adoption-year error in the resolution exhibit and said they would correct it.","The commission authorized staff to ask CAMPO to submit an FTA Section 5339 competitive application for an ADA-compliant vehicle and approved providing the 20% local match contingent on award.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6533377,"RTC approves application to seek $200,155 in FTA Section 5310 funding for Jack Assist",403,545000,948000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3779514-930933f3ba90092b7f5da83efcbf6ae8&start=545&end=948","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3779514-930933f3ba90092b7f5da83efcbf6ae8/thumbnail_545000.jpg","/articles/6533377/Carson-City/Ormsby-County/Nevada/RTC-approves-application-to-seek-200155-in-FTA-Section-5310-funding-for-Jack-Assist","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6533377-2f6b7e9892f7243e2ac50adc0b6b2088/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448452&Signature=bBEMUCxegROWLKrQZj6gouyeWEpgxBc2lur1ACurgZHK96DiqdXH8gEZpXQx409N7enot8FEVoy11cTK1wJov7eZ30RIF2QVfd5MHFixfraJS3ukamFSDxNUE72movxuV2JRbcKsagin6BIcKR2bQ2~ni7N8jkMdpmRokDJE8awaa8bs8WZSHJtDjH52Iu1IpTEwMkmNZQQnEQYA8KDdV7cXKwKW89hK3h-XkMMpU82g8bqk8ZBc4UHJLMc~al1r-UEGlzFjxpghgy9PgLwZUBqbnButaNPetdvosj8gSlKxPbN6oqW4b24B-78F5fpH76hMj6OLnEMN2l97VVtbxg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Carson City Regional Transportation Commission on May 20 approved a resolution authorizing staff to submit an application for FTA Section 5310 funds in the amount of $200,155, with a required local match estimated at $50,039 to support capitalized operating expenses for the Jack Assist program.

Marcus Myers, Transit Coordinator for Carson City Public Works, told commissioners the 5310 program provides federal funding to enhance mobility for seniors and people with disabilities and that capitalized operating expenses are eligible at an 80% federal share, unlike typical operating grants funded at a 50% federal share. Myers also noted a typographical error in the draft resolution: the adoption date in Exhibit 2 shows 2023 and should read 2025.

The commission briefly questioned the match calculation. Commissioner Lucia Maloney asked whether the listed $50,039 represented 20% of the federal share or the total program cost. Myers explained the match is calculated as 20% of the total program cost (i.e., the federal share plus match), which produces the $50,039 figure when the program need is estimated at about $250,194; the federal portion would then be roughly $200,155. Commissioners confirmed the resolution itself does not list dollar amounts and only commits the commission to submit the application and provide the required local match if the grant is awarded.

Commissioner Greg Dodson moved to approve Resolution 2025-RTC-R-1. The motion carried unanimously; the record shows all members present voted in favor, and the transcript reflects the previously noted correction to the adoption year in the resolution.","The Carson City Regional Transportation Commission approved a resolution authorizing staff to submit a Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5310 grant application for $200,155 to support Jack Assist service, with a required local match of $50,039.","actionData","errors"]
