LVCVA boss withheld ex-Mayor Goodman’s contracts from board

Ex-Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman has served as the LVCVA’s chief tourism ambassador since 2011. But LVCVA boss Rossi Ralenkotter has not brought Goodman’s contract extensions to the agency’s board for approval since 2013. Ralenkotter privately signed multiple extensions without board approval, including one in 2015 giving Goodman a $12,000 raise. The agency said Ralenkotter has authority to sign Goodman’s contract extensions without board consent. Goodman’s annual salary has increased to $72,000. LVCVA is taxpayer funded. Goodman’s latest contract expires in August 2019.
