Kyle Mountain Fire LLC, dba, Water Pros Las Vegas (For Possible Action) Ms. Schuman introduced this item and Ms. Torvinen reviewed the the committee.

Rooftop Digital Imaging LLC, dba, Off the Wall Signs Las Vegas (For Possible Action) Ms. Schuman introduced this item and Ms. Torvinen reviewed the the committee. NDOT s recommendation was to deny because the nondisadvantaged owner gifted 1% to the disadvantaged owner days before applying for DBE Certification, because the disadvantaged owner is the qualified person on the contractor s license and therefore the disadvantaged owner cannot run the company without him. Thus, the applicant does not meet the requirements in 49 CFR Parts and MOTION: Kathy Keever Karen Heddy CAMPO McCarran, NDOT, RTC South, RTC Washoe, Reno Tahoe, ACTION: Deny DBE certification of Rooftop Digital Imaging LLC, dba, Off the Wall Signs v.

5 MOTION: Kathy Keever Catherine Smith McCarran, NDOT, RTC Washoe, Reno Tahoe, CAMPO ACTION: Approve DBE certification of Time Printing, Inc. vi. Vegas Heavy Hall Inc., dba, Big Valley Towing Las Vegas (For Possible Action) Ms. Schuman introduced this item and Ms. Torvinen reviewed the agenda materials. Ms. Schuman entertained comments/questions from the committee. NDOT felt it had no choice but to recommend denial of this application as the 100% disadvantaged owner could not demonstrate control. The company bylaws expressly and repeatedly placed all authority and control in the hands of the Directors. There are 3 Directors, including the owner but a majority vote is required for virtually any action, thereby precluding the owner from exercising control. MOTION: Karen Heddy Dan Doenges McCarran, NDOT, RTC Washoe, Reno Tahoe, CAMPO ACTION: Deny DBE certification of Vegas Heavy Hall Inc., dba, Big Valley Towing VI. Discussion a.
