RTC approves CA Group contract for North Carson Complete Streets study; commissioner abstains over conflict
Summary
The RTC approved a feasibility study contract with CA Group for North Carson Complete Streets after Commissioner Dotson disclosed a familial conflict and abstained; the vote was 4‑0 with one abstention.
The Carson City Regional Transportation Commission approved a contract with CA Group to conduct a North Carson Complete Streets feasibility study; Commissioner Dotson abstained after disclosing a family relationship with a CA Group executive.
Commissioner Dotson read a disclosure under state law, saying his son, David Dotson, is employed by CA Group and serves as a vice president. “I believe I have a disqualifying conflict and will be abstaining on this matter,” Dotson said. The disclosure cited NRS 281.842 on conflicts of interest and voting.
Kelly Norman, senior transportation planner, summarized the request for qualifications process: seven firms applied and the review and selection committee recommended CA Group. Norman noted the draft contract and scope are in the packet and identified David Dotson, vice president of CA Group, as the firm representative who will work with city staff.
Vice Chair Schuette moved to approve the contract; the motion was seconded and passed with four votes in favor and one abstention. The record reflects a 4‑0 vote with Commissioner Dotson abstaining.
The study will identify complete‑streets options for North Carson and is expected to involve CA Group personnel and city staff to develop the feasibility scope and recommendations. The contract award advances the planning phase; any recommended projects and associated funding would require later approvals.
