The last time Cheryl Dotson held a salaried position in Houston city government was 1989, for then-mayor Kathy Whitmire. Dotson was deputy director of finance and administration behind finance director Camille Cates Barnett, the flamboyantly nicknamed "Dragon Lady" who frequently clashed with City Councilmembers.
When Whitmire named Barnett chief administrative officer, Council balked and stripped her of the title. Barnett resigned, and Dotson followed soon after to take a position in private industry.
Now she's back as the $110,745-a-year deputy chief administrative officer who will provide the Brown administration with advice on technical strategy in improving management. Dotson reports to chief administrative officer Al Haines, another Whitmire-era face Mayor Lee Brown brought back to City Hall. The mayor should be more than familiar with Dotson's work, since she served as director of budget and finance for the police department during the mid-eighties, when he was HPD chief.
Dotson's last public splash came last year in Washington, D.C. It was in connection with her old boss, Barnett, at the time the district's chief management officer.
According to the Washington City Paper, Barnett never conducted open bidding in awarding an $893,000 contract to consultant Dotson to outfit the District's antiquated Department of Motor Vehicles with a new computer system.
According to the paper's Loose Lips political column, city officials waited several months for action on the computer project before examining how Barnett was handling the matter. "The result of the inquiry was a contrite admission in late August by Barnett that she had illegally awarded the contract to an associate," the publication reported.
"In addition to holding up the motor vehicle project by over eight months, the Dotson fiasco has all but scuppered other key management reforms, including creation of a departmentwide call-in center and various technology upgrades."
Dotson says her contract was scuttled because Barnett failed to get the proper approvals but that the work was eventually completed without any delays.
"We didn't have to start from scratch," scoffs Dotson. "And frankly, if we had been doing a bad job, why did they take the person that worked for me, give the contract to a huge company and let him keep right on working?"
Dotson says she was offered another contract in D.C., proof that she was doing good work. Instead, she decided to come back to Houston "because the tide had begun to turn in terms of people there wanting to make a real specific change in administration."
Among those the tide washed out was Barnett, who stepped down after less than a year in her D.C. job. Barnett has now been the short-lived, controversial chief administrative officer of Dallas, Houston, Austin and D.C.

I find that web site much more credible than the Calypso Wireless PRs.
I find that this web site says nothing and the article says nothing unless your finance director Camille Cates Barnett, the flamboyantly nicknamed "Dragon Lady" who frequently clashed with City Councilmembers.
For example: What ever happened to that 500 Million Dollar Chinese deal?
What ever happened Hoffa?
Second example: If the buy into RVTec was to expedite the manufacturing process, why hasn't a single phone been shipped by now to satisfy any of those purchase orders?
and you know that any number of phones havent been shipped ....HOW?
And by the way, has even a single company that put in a purchase order that was also required to furnish an "irrevocable letter of credit from a bank acceptable to Calypso Wireless" ever furnish such a letter? If not, why not?
I dont know as well as you dont know if they have or havent recieved a "irrevocable letter of credit .I dont work there.........
