Summary of Proceedings

Carson City CAMPO Monthly Meeting – May 13, 2026

The Carson City Regional Transportation Commission (CAMPO) held its regular monthly meeting on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, at 4:30 PM. Chair Novak presided, with a quorum present. The meeting included approval of prior minutes, a key contract award for the East Dayton Bridge feasibility study, and updates from staff and the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT).

Consent Calendar

  • Approval of Minutes (April 8, 2026): The minutes from the April 8, 2026, meeting were approved unanimously by a voice vote (motion by Member Bagwell, second by Member Nordlow).

Discussion Items

  • East Dayton Bridge Feasibility Study Contract (Item 4): Chris Martinovich, Carson City transportation manager, presented a request to approve Contract 26300235 with Moffat & Nickel for a feasibility study of the East Dayton Bridge Project in Lyon County. The total not-to-exceed amount is $1,189,493.05. The study will evaluate bridge types, concepts, and locations within an area generally between the existing Carson River bridge and where the river narrows toward Fort Churchill. No predetermined route has been identified; the study will comply with NEPA requirements, including a no-build alternative. Several members commented on the thorough scope of work, fair pricing, and the firm's qualifications. Member Casanelli asked about the involvement of Lyon County staff in monthly project meetings; Martinovich confirmed Lyon County is a key partner and will be included. Chair Novak disclosed a familial relationship with Chris Martinovich (nephew) but stated he does not have a disqualifying conflict under NRS 281A.420, as the outcome would not affect him to a greater degree than other residents.

  • Transportation Manager's Report (Item 6A): Chris Martinovich provided updates:

    • Federal Fuel Tax Holiday: Noted that a potential federal fuel tax holiday would not affect local or state fuel taxes. Under NRS, if the federal government stops collecting gasoline tax, the state would collect such a tax. Emphasized the importance of fuel taxes for funding local roads and projects.
    • State-Level Rail Advisory Committee: Martinovich, a member of the Regional Rail Advisory Committee Working Group, reported that the group is finalizing its draft report. Primary recommendations include: modifications to state statutes to allow funding mechanisms for rail, legislation to allow agencies like RTC Washoe or Carson City to operate rail services, and formation of a more permanent committee to continue studying costs and laws. The report will be presented to the Committee on Growth and Infrastructure for the 2027 legislative session.
    • E-Bike/E-Scooter Legislation: A new state committee is forming to discuss potential legislation for e-bikes and e-scooters, focusing on regulation and safety. Staff will monitor developments.
    • STBG Funding: Staff is reviewing STBG (Surface Transportation Block Grant) funding to finalize accurate amounts for programming projects; an update is expected at the June meeting.

  • NDOT Report (Item 6B): Kevin, NDOT's newly promoted assistant director of planning, presented two updates:

    • Road Safety Audit Guidelines Update: NDOT is updating its guidelines to align with FHWA standards, enhance consistency, support a safe system approach, and include stakeholder input. The updated guidelines will be available for use by MPOs and other jurisdictions.
    • Asset Management Plan Update: The federally required plan covers pavement, bridges, and ITS components. It must be certified every four years by FHWA. The project kicked off in April 2025, will be submitted to FHWA in May 2026, with concurrence expected in November 2026.
    • Member Casanelli asked about the status of the Dayton pavement rehabilitation project, noting a recent fatality at the intersection in question. Kevin confirmed the project had a false start but should be out to bid shortly and will follow up with Eric Sheets.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • General Public Comment (Item 3): No members of the public spoke during the first opportunity for public comment.
  • Public Comment on Action Items (Item 4): No public comments were made on the East Dayton Bridge contract.
  • Second Opportunity for Public Comment: No one spoke.

Key Outcomes

  • Contract Approval: Approved unanimously to enter into Contract 26300235 with Moffat & Nickel for the East Dayton Bridge Feasibility Study, not to exceed $1,189,493.05.
  • Next Steps: Staff will finalize STBG funding numbers for the June meeting; NDOT will follow up on the Dayton pavement rehabilitation project bidding status; the state rail advisory committee will meet in early June to review the draft report.
