C
A
Here,
thank
you,
madam
secretary,
so
I
think
I'd
like
to
start
off
this
morning
welcoming
our
very
newest
member
assemblywoman
brown.
I
just
wanted
to
say
how
grateful
we
are
to
have
you
on
this
committee,
particularly
because
members,
as
you
all
can
imagine
she
found
out
just
a
few
days
ago
that
she
was
going
to
be
moving
up
to
carson
city,
that
she
was
going
to
be
joining
a
whole
host
of
committees
that
she
was
going
to
be
taking
on
some
of
the
very
heavy
conversations
of
a
pandemic.
A
I
mean
she
did
all
that,
while
deciding
maybe
just
a
few
days
before
that
that
she
was
going
to
be
taking
on
that
responsibility,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
we
are
grateful
to
have
you
in
our
team.
I
know
you
bring
a
wealth
of
experience
to
this
building.
You
are
not
someone
new
to
it.
A
Have
you
had
an
opportunity
to
work
outside
of
it
inside
of
it,
and
I
think
you
know
how
to
navigate
these
waters
quite
well,
but
I
think
nobody
can
explain
who
you
are
your
resume
better
than
yourself.
So
I'd
love
to
give
you
an
opportunity.
71
brown,
if
you
could
please
just
give
us
a
quick
intro
of
yourself.
Let
the
team
know
what
you're
bringing
to
the
table
and
team.
I
think
you're
all
going
to
be
very
happy
to
know
she's
with
us,
assemblywoman
brown,
please.
C
Thank
you,
chair
flores.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
provide
a
brief
introduction,
I'm
thrilled
to
be
a
part
of
this
committee.
I
know
that
government
affairs
is
integral
to
the
success
of
our
state
and
how
we
operate.
I've
spent
the
last
20
years
in
the
non-profit
sector
in
southern
nevada
and
have
worked
to
build
great
partnerships
both
across
the
country
and
across
our
state
specifically
focused
really
on.
How
do
we
access
marginalized
populations
into
our
policies,
and
how
do
we
make
sure
that
every
voice
is
heard
prior
to
that?
C
I
spent
about
six
years
in
gaming.
So
really
I
got
an
understanding
of
how
did
gaming
operate?
What
and
what?
What
did
it
take
to
run
a
major
property
as
well
as
the
corporation
across
the
country?
C
I've
been
involved
in
many
boards
and
chairs
and
commissions
and
volunteer
opportunities
throughout
the
last
20
years
or
so,
and
I've
had
an
opportunity
to
come
up
here
and
advocate
on
behalf
of
people
with
developmental
disabilities.
On
multiple
occasions,
many
of
you
are
longtime.
Legislators
have
met
many
of
those
folks
as
they
are
your
constituents,
so
I'm
honored
and
thrilled
to
be
a
part
of
this
committee,
and
I
look
forward
to
working
alongside
all
of
you.
Thanks
for
having
me
chair.
A
And
again
welcome
to
the
team
assemblywoman
we
look
forward
to
working.
Alongside
of
you
members.
I
would
remind
you
to
please
keep
your
microphone
muted
at
all
times.
Please
keep
your
cameras
on
and
unless
you're
speaking
of
course,
and
at
that
time
please
immute
for
those
of
you
following
virtually.
I
want
to
remind
you
that
every
folk
here
on
this
committee
has
a
unique
setup.
We're
always
going
to
be
looking
in
different
directions.
It
doesn't
mean
that
we're
not
paying
attention
to
the
videos.
A
I
also
want
to
remind
you
that
today
we're
going
to
be
having
our
very
first
bill-
and
I
I
I
think
all
of
you
are
very
excited.
I
know
none
of
you
slept
because
he
stood
stayed
up
all
night
working
incredibly
hard,
dissecting
every
comma,
and
I
think
I
see
assemblyman
matthews
he's
going
to
tell
us
why
we
got
some
of
those
semicolons
in
there,
but
I,
but
I
I
do
appreciate
everybody's
attentiveness.
A
I
got
a
bunch
of
messages
last
night
via
text,
and
it
just
shows
that
everybody
was
paying
attention
and
ready
for
this
morning.
So
I
appreciate
you
we're
going
to
take
the
agenda
in
the
order
it
appears
and
so
we're
going
to
have
two
presentations
followed
by
the
bill
itself.
A
A
A
If
we
have
a
lot
of
follow-ups
and
stuff
like
that,
I
don't
anticipate
today
being
too
heavy
in
terms
of
trying
to
coordinate
with
opposition
support
neutral.
But
it
is
the
intention
of
this
committee
that
we'll
take
it
in
the
order
of
support.
We'll
have
the
bill
presentation,
followed
by
questions
from
the
committee,
we'll
do
support
opposition
and
then
neutral
and
then
we'll
allow
for
the
bill
presenter
to
do
any
closing
remarks.
A
That's
going
to
be
the
nature
of
how
we'll
move
through
each
bill
presentation
and
if
members,
you
have
any
questions,
as
always,
please
put
them
on
the
chat,
let
me
know
and
we'll
take
care
of
it.
So
with
that,
I
want
to
open
it
up
to
our
presentation
from
the
department
of
administration
office,
of
grant
procurement
coordination
and
management
whenever
you're
ready
good
morning
and
welcome.
E
E
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
chair
flores
and
members
of
the
committee
for
having
us
today
and
we're
grateful
to
be
here
with
me.
I
have
department
director,
laura
freed,
who
may
jump
in
from
time
to
time,
but
again
I'm
aaron
hastie,
the
interim
administrator
grateful
to
be
here.
I
wouldn't
have
guessed
you
know
seven
and
a
half
years
ago,
when
I
did
my
first
grant
like
going
from
hey.
E
This
sounds
like
a
really
cool
opportunity
and
way
to
bring
services
just
be
sitting
here
right
now
and
looking
at
all
the
issues.
So
I
appreciate
your
time.
I
am
going
to
try
and
share
my
screen.
E
E
So
yeah
we
are
known
as
the
nevada
grant
office.
For
short,
we
kind
of
have
a
mouthful
off
as
a
grant
procurement
coordination,
but
the
nevada
grant
office
is
more.
How
we're
more
commonly
referred
to
our
mission
is
to
increase
the
number
of
grant
dollars,
nevada
receives
by
reducing
and
removing
barriers
to
federal
grant
funding,
by
providing
grant
resources,
advocacy
and
coordination,
and
so,
during
this
presentation
my
intention
is
to
give
you
like
a
high
level
overview
of
grants
and
a
look
into
day
to
day
what
our
office
does.
E
And
then
you
know
really
to
show
you
kind
of
pre-coded
and
how
we've
shifted
during
covid.
As
a
lot
of
us
have.
Essentially,
our
office
has
a
30
000
foot
overview
of
grant
issues,
so
there
are
other
grant
units
within
agencies,
but
our
office
really
seeks
to
provide
resources
for
grant
professionals
and
grant
seekers.
E
As
you
may
know,
grants
are
very,
not
complicated,
but
there's
a
life
cycle
through
them.
There's
pre-award
all
the
way
through
post
award,
and
so
each
phase
has
quite
a
heavy
lift.
So
you
know
even
going
from
applying
for
a
grant.
E
There
are
numerous
issues,
barriers
and
opportunities
in
that,
and
then
there
are
things
that
you
have
to
do
in
order
to
continue
to
maintain
that
grant,
and
so
that's
what
a
lot
of
the
state
agency
grant
units
work
on
we're
here
to
provide
any
resources
and
that
help
ease
and
identify
and
how
to
make
that
easier.
E
A
high
level
overview.
So
we
have
the
department
director,
laura
freed,
deputy
director,
colin
murphy,
within
the
department
of
admin
I'm
serving
as
the
interim
administrator.
E
My
permanent
role
is
the
senior
executive
grant
analyst,
so
that
is
vacant
right
now
and
our
admin
assistant
four
is
vacant
right
now,
so
we're
a
small
and
mighty
team
of
five
when
we're
fully
staffed
and
we're
a
small
and
mighty
team
of
three
right
now
we
were
created
in
2011
after
a
stage
commission
report
to
thought
that
you
know
a
grant
coordinator
would
be
would
be
good
to
help
with
nevada's
flagging
grant
performance,
we're
governed
by
nrs232
222-227
and
historically
we
provided
a
lot
of
resources
on
the
pre-award
side,
I
would
say
like,
as
the
office
has
matured
kind
of,
like
my
knowledge
of
grants,
as
I
was
going
through
it,
we
saw
that
there
are
a
lot
of
barriers
in
grant
management,
and
so
our
office
has
shifted.
E
You
know
from
pre-award
like
helping
to
write
applications
to
then
addressing
grant
barriers.
So
you
see
some
of
what
we
do
there.
It's
a
little
bit
of
everything
we've
provided.
You
know,
grant
writing
project
management,
finding
opportunities
and
going
through
grants.gov
to
to
show
like
you're
interested
in
education
grants.
E
Okay,
like
here's
some
grants
that
might
be
useful
for
you,
so
we
do
quite
a
bit
and
again,
as
we've
had
conversations
with
stakeholders,
we've
revealed
more
and
more
what
we
can
do
to
be
helpful
and
some
of
those
you'll
see
a
little
bit
later
in
our
day-to-day.
We
provide
some
strategic
grant
services,
so
we
track
all
of
the
contacts
that
we
have
and
they
break
down
into
these
buckets
essentially
and
within
those
buckets
there
are
quite
a
few.
E
You
know,
areas
like
funding
opportunities
can
mean
that
we
have
13
topical
listservs,
and
then
we
will
track
any
grants
that
are
relevant
that
are
coming
up
and
send
out
a
grant
opportunity,
grant
assistance.
We've
done
anything
from
write,
the
whole
grant
application
to
project
coordinate
and
you
know
done
presentations.
E
So
now
I'm
gonna
shift
like
our
pre-coded
and
then
you'll
see
a
little
bit
later
like
how
postcoded
has
affected
us.
So
pre-kobit
we've
got
january
19th
from
about
the
beginning
of
march
2020..
We
were
contacted
by
about
15
000
times
for
service
requests,
which
is
average
about
1
000
per
month.
We
also
track.
Are
we
initiating
the
contact
or
are
people
coming
to
us
and
then
we're
reacting
to
that?
E
So
when
somebody
contacts
us,
we
have
it
broken
down
into
who
it
is.
The
bulk
of
our
contacts
were
from
state
agencies,
but
then
the
second
you
know
non-profits
and
local
agencies.
We
also
track
if
there's
a
competitive
opportunity
or
like
if
it's
mandatory
formula.
I
have
a
slide
a
little
bit
later,
that
I
can
that
breaks
it
down
a
little
bit,
but
most
of
what
we
deal
with
is
competitive
discretionary
grants
and
then
about
20
of
the
opportunities
that
we
tracked
required.
E
Match
funds
and
you'll
see
a
little
bit
later
that
we
had
a
grant
program
that
dealt
with
match
funds
that
we've
identified
to
be
a
barrier
to
some
agencies
and
organizations
applying
for
grants.
E
Okay,
so
then
we
switched
to
cobit,
so
this
is
march
to
december
we
had
4
300
service
requests,
which
dropped
our
monthly
average
to
548
requests.
During
this
time.
For
about
five
months,
there
was
we
were
a
staff
at
two,
so
that
might
be
why
it
dropped
a
little
but
again
56
percent
of
us.
The
contacts
were
initiated
by
us
and
then
the
unique
opportunities
again,
the
bulk
is
federal
funding.
E
Our
partner
requests
shifted
during
kobit,
so
you
saw
before
it
was
like
state.
I
mean
still.
The
number
one
is
state
agencies,
but
then
we
had
an
uptick
in
businesses
and
citizens
reaching
out
to
us.
I
think,
like
a
lot
of
people,
you
know
like
the
the
lack
of
centralized
role
out
from
the
federal
government
was
confusing,
and
so
people
were
searching
for
where
to
get
funds.
What
funds
were
available,
and
so
we
had
more
from
from
businesses
and
citizens.
E
Still
the
bulk
were
competitive
opportunities
about
the
same
amount
required
match
during
the
this.
The
grants
during
hobits,
some
of
them
ended
up
being
more
supplemental,
so
that
means
like,
if
you
had
an
award
before
then
you
get
it
awarded,
so
a
little
drop
there
in
the
competitive.
E
So
as
we
were
grappling
with
covid
and
how
best
to
position
our
agency,
we
reached
out
to
state
agencies
and
asked
this
is
at
the
beginning,
where
we
didn't
know
what
funding
opportunities
were
to
come
out,
were
they
going
to
be
competitive?
Were
they
formula?
You
know
we
were
just
trying
to
wrap
our
arms
around
it
and
we
reached
out
to
state
agencies
and
had
about
524
responses
asking
what
would
be
most
helpful
to
them
as
we're
identifying
any
opportunities
from
copenhagen.
E
So
the
the
top
answers
from
completely
helpful
are
there
and
then
so
that
was
applying
for
grants
and
then,
on
the
other
side
of
it,
there's
properly
managing
all
federal
grants.
So
you
know
there's
application
and
then
there's
managing
the
grant,
and
so
the
importance
of
properly
managing
a
grant
is
to
reduce
audit
findings
so
that
we
don't
have
to
pay
money
back
so
that
we
can
get
up
future
funding
opportunities.
You
know,
sometimes,
if
you
some
grant
streams
will
award
another
time.
E
So
the
proper
management
is
a
really
critical
issue
and
it's
also
can
be
really
hard
and
there
was
a
lot
of
compliance
that
was
coming
out
like
in
addition
to
the
health.
There
was
just
like
a
fire
hose
of
information
on
funding,
so
we
asked
to
properly
manage
federal
grants
for
code.
What
would
be
the
most
helpful?
So
these
are
answers
ranked
from
completely
helpful.
E
So
we
had.
You
know
these
survey
results
and
we
created
some
services
in
response
to
cobia
19..
We
shifted
our
topic-specific
funding
opportunities
to
covid.
Only
so
we
weren't
going
out
for
education
in
general.
It
was
you
know,
education
in
cobid,
and
we
created
a
kobit
19
grant
opportunity
web
page.
It's
up
still
so
anything
that
we
found
we
put
into
a
centralized
web
page.
E
As
you
can
see
that
ended
up
being
pretty
popular.
We
saw
a
386
percent
page
view
increase
from
between
april
and
october.
Over
the
same
time,
last
year
we
had
about
76
000
page
views
on
that
we
put
together
a
packet
on
funding
compliance.
E
So,
like
I
said
you
know,
a
grant
is
in
addition
to
being
awarded
it.
You
have
to
manage
it
and
make
sure
that
you're
hitting
your
program
goals
that
your
fiscal
is
correct.
Each
federal
agency
and
some
omb
put
out
some
guidance.
So
we
try
to
compile
that
as
much
as
we
could
to
provide
grant
managers
and
their
managers
with
like
a
one
two.
The
intent
was
to
have
a
one
stop
place
to
go
to
where
you
could
find.
You
know
what
was
going
on.
E
We
also
put
together
a
funding
observations
memo.
So,
as
we
started
seeing
like
on
the
ground
what
was
going
on,
we
wanted
to
provide
leadership
with
some
insights
that
we'd
seen.
For
example,
some
of
the
the
guidance
that
was
coming
out
was
changing.
You
know,
so
one
of
our.
E
Keys
to
like
help,
you
was
to
date
the
funding,
the
guidance
that
you
received
like
to
keep
all
of
it
and
to
date
it.
So
if
you
have
any
issues
with
funding,
you
can
go
back
and
talk
to
your
federal
awarding
agency.
We
have
a
nevada
grant
stakeholders
listserv.
That
goes
out
every
two
weeks
where
we
wrap
up
any
grants
that
we
added
to
the
website,
and
then
we
created
a
blog
where
we
comb
through
and
find
like
federal
guidance
on
in
you
know
anything
grants
related
to
cobin.
E
We
will
put
that
on
our
blog,
and
so
the
stakeholders
list
serve
kind
of
capsulates
that,
like
what
we've
done
in
the
past
two
weeks,
just
trying
to
keep
people
informed
and
having
resources
to
where
they
could
go,
we
also
created
a
federal,
copen
19
funding
report.
This
is
where
a
lot
of
my
time
went
was
to
try
and
track
down
what
was
entering
the
state
and
where
it
was
going.
E
This
is
created
in
coordination
with
the
governor's
office
and
the
governor's
finance
office.
It
tracks
more
than
just
grants,
so
you'll
see
in
that
number.
There
are,
you
know,
some
of
the
economic
stimulus
payments
and
the
loans,
but
we've
tracked
so
far
about
23.7
billion
dollars
into
the
state.
That's
a
big
report
and
we
update
that
bi-weekly
as
well.
E
Other
activities
include
our
grant
match
fund
pilot
program.
We
had
this
and
we
had
a
staff
person
dedicated
to
that
in
the
2019
legislature.
There
was
a
pilot
program
that
was
created
to
our
knowledge
was
the
first
in
the
nation.
We
continually
heard
how
lack
of
grant
match
funds
were,
causing
agencies
to
regularly
skip
on
applying
for
grants.
So
a
million
dollars
allocated
to
create
a
program
to
award
any
agencies
who
needed
match
and
of
course
there
was
like
all
kinds.
E
We
have
a
business
plan
and
stuff
that
went
through
that
we
had
31
applications
submitted
in
three
months.
We
committed
970
000
of
the
million
in
the
first
three
months,
and
then
we
have
one
that's
been
fully
executed
and
awarded,
which
means
they've
heard
from
their
funder
from
the
federal
agency
that
they
were
successfully
awarded.
E
So
we
have
that
one
award
of
forty
five
thousand
dollars
in
match
that
got
a
451
thousand
dollar
grant
for
the
city
of
north
las
vegas,
so
a
10
to
1
return
on
investment.
E
Unfortunately,
due
to
the
budget
cuts,
we
reverted
back
any
of
the
unallocated
funds
and
then,
if
any
of
the
other
two
awards
aren't
made
by
the
federal
agencies,
then
we
will
revert
that
back
too,
and
our
staff
member
also
dropped.
E
We
had
a
grant
management
system
that
we've
been
trying
to
implement
for
a
couple
of
cycles,
didn't
have
any
successful
rfps,
and
so
we
had
put
that
into
putting
together
a
a
technical
study
and
an
rfi
to
really
look
at.
You
know
like
what
is
going
on
in
the
state
who,
what
agencies
have
a
grant
management
system.
E
What
is
an
appropriate
price
tag
that
we'll
need
to
get
what
we
want,
and
so,
unfortunately,
we
had
that
study
lined
up
and
ready
to
go,
but
then
also
due
to
cobit
in
the
budget
short
shortfalls.
We
reverted
that
back
as
well.
E
We
also
do
some
professional
development.
We
continually
heard
from
our
surveys
that
training
is
a
really
vital.
So
we've
got
you
know:
we've
aligned,
training,
we've
gone
out
and
researched
training,
and
it
can
be
anywhere
from
like
pre-award,
so
how
to
write
a
great
application
to
how
to
monitor
sub-recipients.
You
know
once
you
award
something
it's.
How
do
you
properly
manage
that
we
did
a
grant
fundamentals,
training,
which
was
what
I
was
working
on?
I
was
going
to
face
to
face,
but
then
you
know
that
stopped
too.
E
E
They
were
created
in
2015,
public,
private
and
local
stakeholders
who
whose
responsibility
is
to
look
at
barriers
to
grant
funding
and
then
make
recommendations
on
how
to
address
those,
and
so
some
of
the
a
lot
of
the
legislation.
That's
come
from,
like
the
grant
matching
fund
pilot
program
was
a
recommendation
of
theirs.
E
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
on
them.
You'll
see
like
they
kind
of
run.
The
gamut
we
have
a
grant
policy
manual
that
is
best
practices
for
state
agencies,
on
how
to
manage
a
grant.
We
also
had
during
covid
the
uniform
guidance
which
governs
grant
how
to
properly
execute
grant
funds.
The
code
of
federal
regulations
was
updated
in
november
2020
had
some
big
changes.
E
So
in
the
middle
of
this,
we
put
together
like
a
summary
on
that
went
through
the
red
line
changes
so
that
people
would
be
aware
of
it
and
could
understand
what
was
changed
so
kind
of
all
kinds
of
stuff
there
that
we
have,
but
again
it's
to
try
and
make
an
educated
grant
staff
so
2021
and
beyond.
We
were
very
excited.
E
You
know
in
the
state
of
the
state
that
is
calling
to
increase
federal
funding,
and
we
participated
in
a
great
roundtable
with
the
governor
and
the
treasurer
and
other
stakeholders
non-profits
to
hear
what
they
were
going
through
in
in
barriers
and
how
we
can
move
forward,
we'll
continue
to
solicit
and
review
stakeholder
feedback
to
identify
and
remove
grant
barriers.
We
do
have
a
housekeeping
bill
sb15
in
this
session.
E
That
just
gives
us
it's
minor,
but
it
helps
it
allows
us
gives
us
the
authority
to
develop
and
maintain
a
set
of
policies
and
procedures
for
grants.
So
that'll
help
keep
the
state
in
alignment.
E
And
I
just
wanted
to
briefly
put
up
a
slide
that
shows
you
know,
I'm
sure
you've
heard
like
the
complexity
of
grant
funding,
so
our
office
deals
with
discretionary
and
competitive.
E
That
means
like
there's
an
application
process
and
generally
they're
ranked
you'll
see,
and
I
know
this
is
a
little
old,
but
from
year
to
year
it
tends
to
be
the
same.
So
of
those
that
are
appropriated.
The
bulk
of
the
opportunities
themselves
about
78
are
discretionary
programs,
but
the
majority
of
funding
isn't
mandatory.
E
A
No
thank
you
for
your
presentation.
We
appreciate
that.
I
know
it's
a
lot.
There's
no
other
way
to
go
around
it.
Well,
thank
you
for
joining
us
this
morning,
so
I
know
we
have
a
few
questions,
we'll
start
off
with
our
vice
chair
and
then
we'll
make
our
way
around
with
other
members
and
vice
chair.
Please.
B
Hey
chair
and
thank
you
so
much
for
your
presentation.
I
really
appreciate
it
and
all
the
work
that
you're
doing
to
ensure
that
we
are
acquiring
federal
funds.
So
my
question
is
just
like
about.
If
you
could
send
us
some
document,
you
might
have
this
available
right
now.
If
you
could
send
us
a
document
that
just
shows
how
much
federal
funds
we're
receiving
and
where
those
federal
funds
are
being
allocated.
B
E
Money
and
how
the
like,
where
that
money
is
going
to,
if
they're,
going
to
other
state
offices
and
how
that
money
is
being
spent
for
the
record
aaron
hasting.
Thank
you
for
that
question
and
that,
unfortunately,
is
really
hard.
We
don't
have
that
full
picture
there.
We
have.
You
know
some
reports
that
show
about
90
percent
of
federal
funding
that
I
can
get
you
part
of
what
we're
looking
at.
Is
you
know?
E
How
do
we
centralize
data
collection
and
how
do
we
know
what
is
coming
in,
so
I
can
send
you
what
I
have
but
then
also
know
that
there's
definitely
opportunity
for
us
to
have
a
clear
picture.
What's
going.
B
C
E
Thank
you
for
the
question,
aaron
hastie
for
the
record.
Yeah
again.
I
think
what,
during
that
that
report
we
were
50th
in
the
nation
we've
fluctuated
from
the
bottom
like
from
you
know,
I
think
we're
at
47th
now,
according
to
some
models,
so
we're
we're
moving.
Medicaid
expansion
helped
bring
us
up.
I
can
get
you
like
what
I
have,
which
will
probably
be
the
same
that
the
vice
chair
had
where
we're
at,
which
shows
you
know
what
we
bring
in
per
capita.
E
C
Thank
you.
If
I
may
ask
a
follow-up
or
I
can
wait,
television.
B
Thank
you,
then
my
then
my
follow-up
question
is:
do
you
have
sort
of
a
list
or
something
you
can
send
us
giving
us
like
the
top
five
or
ten
barriers?
I
know
that
you
said
that
you
know
mandatory.
E
Thank
you
for
the
record
and
hasty.
Yes,
absolutely
we
do
have
those
identified
and
I
will
send
those
to
you.
I
remember
my
point.
Even
moving
up
so
there's
been
some
research
that
shows
even
moving
up
one
spot
would
be
an
additional
250
million
dollars
brought
in.
So
it
is
it's
a
it's
an
effort
to
move
up,
but
it
means
like
when
we
do
that.
It's
been
a
big
jump
so,
but
I'm
happy
to
send
you
the
barriers.
B
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
know
that
it's
difficult
when
you're
an
interim
director
and
have
just
taken
over
to
try
to
jump
in
so
really
appreciate
the
information,
a
quick
question.
I
know
that
with
some
grants
there
are
some
entities
like
let's
say
that
a
school
district
or
a
county
has
applied
for
the
grant.
Then
a
portion
of
that
grant
has
to
go
back
to
the
state.
Does
that
happen
at
all
in
these
situations
or
if
a
county
or
school
district
or
other
city
entity
even
were
to
get
a
grant?
B
E
The
record
aaron
hastie,
I'm
not
aware
of
any
specifically
that
go
back
to
the
state.
There
are
some
what
are
considered
like
administrative
costs
and
pass-through
grants,
so
you
know
like,
for
example,
the
workplace
innovation
opportunity
act,
the
wioa
dollars
there's
some
mandates
in
there
that
it
has
to
go
to
the
state
and
then
they
pass
through
those
and
then
there's
some
administration.
E
That's
from
there,
because
the
staff,
even
there
like
they,
have
to
manage
that.
You
know
they
have
to
oversee
it
and
there's
there's
work
on
their
end.
So
I'm
not
aware
of
any
to
my
knowledge
that
I've
heard
you
know
that
you
get
it
and
it
goes.
A
portion
goes
to
the
state
there.
Are
you
bring
up
an
interesting
point
so
like
whoever
the
lead
applicant
is
and
again
this
without
trying
to
get
too
into
the
weeds?
E
You
know
a
lead
applicant
can
get
the
money
and
then
they
can
choose
to
sub-award
it,
and,
of
course
that
depends
on
what
the
notice
of
funding
opportunity
calls
for
as
well.
So
if
an
lead
applicant
takes
some
money,
they
can
then
choose
to.
You
know
to
help
meet
the
goals
and
deliverables
of
the
grant
and
sub-award
that
to
other
agencies
to
help
carry
out
that
work.
E
Part
of
our
office
role
has
been
to
help.
You
know
competing
applicants
and
applications
from
coming
together,
because
kind
of
funding
opportunities
are
really
competitive.
So
if
we
have
more
than
one
application
per
state
that
can
lessen
our
our
chance
of
getting
it,
but
there's
also
a
lot
of
work
and
you
know
like
who
is
going
to
be
like
the
lead
applicant.
There
can
be
some
contentious
stuff
sometimes,
but,
like
you
know,
it's
who
meets,
who
would
be
the
best
to
oversee
it?
E
Who
would
meet
the
the
categorization
of
funding?
And
so
I
don't
know
if
I
confused
you
more
or
answered
your
question,
you.
B
Did
because
that,
because
that's
a
problem,
sometimes
in
contention
when
it
comes
to
regions
that
never
happens,
come
on
so
just
kidding
by
the
way.
If
I
may
ask
a
separate
question
as
well:
sheriff
flores,
it's
not.
A
B
The
same
topic,
but
the
second
question
has
to
do
with.
Are
there
any
grants
that
nevada
has
been
awarded
for
a
lengthy
period
of
time
that
we
just
now,
because
we've
been
receiving
this
grant
for
let's
say
four
years
or
more?
We
now
depend
upon
the
grant.
E
The
record
aaron
hastie,
that's
a
good
question.
There
are
so
in
the
back,
there's
the
formula
mandatory
and
there
are
some
that
have
been.
You
know
here
since
before
I
was
born
that
I'm
I'm
not
aware
of,
but
that
that's
the
formula,
and
so
that
can
be
like
snap
or
wic
those
programs
that
are
essential
and
that
people
have
come
to
rely
on
competitive
applications.
E
To
my
knowledge,
I'm
I
don't
know
of
long-term
long-term
ones
and
again
that's
kind
of
the
hard
part
where
we
don't
have
a
centralized
grant
management,
I'm
not
entirely
sure
like
what's
out
there,
there
might
be
some
stuff.
That's
done
really!
Well
that
we're
just
not
aware
of.
E
And
if
I
could
add
that
sorry
with
for
the
record
aaron
hastie,
so
you
kind
of
touched
on
like
supplementing
and
supplanting
and
so
a
federal
like
a
competitive
grant,
it's
it's
to
assist
in
services,
it's
not
to
replace
them.
So
if
you
are
supplanting,
then
that's
a
big
no-no.
B
D
Please,
thank
you,
mr
chairman,
I'd
like
to.
If
you
could
go
to
item
seven
page,
seven
and
one
of
the
things
I
was
looking
at
is
with
strategies
grant
services.
It
said
businesses,
76
citizens,
67.,
I'm
getting
a
lot
of
calls
from,
and
this
has
been
going
on
since
cove
started,
where
these
businesses
are
applying
and
they're,
not
getting
responses
back
at
all
or
they're
getting
denied
is.
D
Is
there
a
reason
for
this
because
these
businesses,
the
employment
base,
but
yet
nobody's
responded
back
to
them,
then?
The
other
question
I
have
is
on
page
13
unemployment
relief,
and
it
says
there
was
7
million
247
000
and
only
awarded
14..
E
Sure
for
the
record,
aaron
hastie,
so
on
your
first
one,
our
office,
we
don't
oversee
or
have
any
insight
into
the
awarding
process.
We
just
coordinate
with
you
know
we'll.
If
we're
aware
of
opportunities,
we'll
alert
people
to
them.
We
always
refer
back
to
the
funder,
so
constituents
will
have
to
refer
to
the
awarding
agency.
I
don't
know
if
it's
federal
or
state,
but
we
don't
have
any
insight
into
that.
They
need
to
contact
the
funder
itself.
D
B
They're
looking
for
I'm
sorry,
mr
chairman,
may
I
interject
this
is
laura
for
the
record
director
of
administration.
I
think
perhaps
through
you,
mr
chairman,
to
mr
ellison,
I
think
perhaps
your
constituents
might
be
interested
in
the
pets
grants
for
private
businesses
which
the
grants
office
doesn't
have
involvement
with.
D
Okay,
okay,
yeah,
if
I
can
get
that
information
or
or
what
I
need
to
do
to
to
get
it
because
we're
getting
a
lot
of
calls
and
a
lot
of
upset
people
throughout
throughout
the
whole
state.
I
even
had
people
in
small
business
out
of
clark
county
call
me.
D
I
don't
know
why
they're
calling
me
but
we're
trying
to
help
if
we
can,
but
that's
an
issue,
that's
coming
up
and
then
the
other
issue
is
page
13,
the
unemployment
relief
program
and-
and
you
know,
we're
constantly
getting
the
calls
trying
to
get
help.
So
I
don't
know
if,
if
this
is
something
we
need
because
dieter
don't
answer
the
damn
phones,
I
hate
to
say
it.
D
But
but
when
I've
seen
this
up
here,
it
says
federal,
coveted
fund
by
category
and
you
look
at
the
unemployment
and
seven
million
dollars
and
there's
only
14
awarded.
Can
you
explain
that.
E
Sure
for
the
record,
erin
hasty
so
for
the
unemployment
relief
and
that's
actually
in
thousands.
So
that's
seven
billion
seven
point:
two
billion.
E
Yeah
no
worries
it's.
It's
not
that
clear.
D
E
So
it's
for
the
record
that
I
I
have
the
more
detailed
it
does
break
it
down.
I'd
be
happy
to
get
you
like
our
detailed
report
that
includes
unemployment
like
the
the
pua
and
any
direct
payments
that
are
are
in
unemployment.
E
That's
that's
the
big
bulk,
but
I
can
get
you
the
the
the
complete
breakdown,
because
we
do
have
that
in
that
report.
D
D
So
anyway,
if
you
can
give
me
that
and
then
the
other
thing
is,
is
I
think
that
we
got
to
do
something
with
a
direct
line
with
dieter,
because
you
can
go
on
the
phone
for
hours
and
hours
and
never
get
somebody
to
pick
up
a
phone.
So,
okay,
thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
members,
and-
and
I
know
that
particularly
with
that
comment,
assemblyman
allison
is
definitely
sharing
some
of
the
frustrations
that
we're
getting
from
so
many
constituents,
and
I
think,
like
mr
excuse
me,
like
assemblyman.
Listen,
we
don't
necessarily
always
know
who
who
the
right
office
we
got
to
send
them
to.
So
I
I
understand
sure.
E
A
We
appreciate
that
and-
and
we
recognize
that
a
lot
of
those
concerns
raised
in
no
way
come
directly
to
you,
but
again
I
think
it's
just
so
many
constituents
have
called-
and
I
think
folk
are
just
trying
to
figure
out
where
to
send
them.
So
thank
you.
Next
we
have
assemblyman
matthews.
Please.
F
Mr
chairman,
thank
you,
miss
hasty
thanks,
so
much
for
being
with
us
this
morning
for
your
great
presentation,
I
have
a
question
that
I
think
is
sort
of
related
to
the
question
that
assemblywoman
anderson
asked.
She
touched
on
the
the
question
of
grant
recipients
sort
of
coming
to
depend
and
rely
a
bit
on
the
funds
they
get.
I'm
wondering
in
in
the
event
that
that
grant
money
does
come
to
a
particular
recipient
and
after
a
given
period
of
time
that
grant
money
you
know
were
to
go
away.
F
How
common
is
it,
and
I
understand
it-
may
be
difficult
to
answer
this
in
a
general
sense,
but
you
know
when
these
grant
recipients
no
longer
have
access
to
that
funding.
They're
used
to
to
what
extent
do
they
do
they
seek
and
succeed
in
seeking
that
funding
from
other
governmental
sources,
particularly
the
state.
In
other
words,
to
what
extent
does
the
state
end
up
sort
of
replacing
the
funds
that
previously
were
coming
from?
F
E
E
They
also
like
a
lot
of
federal
grants
like
to
see
leveraging
federal
dollars,
and
so
you
know
sometimes
when
we
put
resources
in
they'll,
give
us
more
back
like
I
can
give
an
example
in
2015
the
breakfast
after
the
bell
program
that
was
created,
used
two
million
dollars
in
state
general
fund
and
to
help
school
districts
and
and
schools
provide
free
and
reduce,
provide
lunch
and
breakfast
with
a
certain
school
reached.
E
I
think
70
federal
poverty
level
meals
will
be
provided
for
for
all
students,
and
so,
with
that
two
million
they
were
able
to
then
get
reimbursed
about
five
million
dollars
from
the
federal
department
of
agriculture
and
so
generally,
what
I've
seen
is
the
more
that
we
invest,
the
more
that
we
get
back
if
we,
but
to
your
point,
you
know
if,
if
there
is
a
an
opportunity
that
creates
resources
and
it's
not
funded-
that's
not
sustainable,
and
then
I
haven't
seen
from
my
knowledge
the
state
get
put
on
the
hook
for
anything
from
what
I've
seen.
E
It's
been
like,
the
more
that
we
put
in
the
more
that
we're
able
to
take
back
but
to
make
us
competitive
from
the
opportunities
that
I've
seen.
The
funders
do
like
to
see
that
there's
going
to
be
continuity
of
it.
Does
that
answer
your
question.
F
Yeah
yeah
for
the
most
part
yeah.
Thank
you.
B
Mr,
mr
chairman,
this
is
laura
three
director
of
administration.
Again,
I
wanted
to
add
on
to
what
miss
hasty
had
to
say
in
the
context
of
the
state
budget.
You
know,
as
as
miss
hasty
previously
testified.
A
lot
of
the
grant
funds
that
state
agencies
get
are
formula
grant
funds,
so
they
can
expect
to
get
them
year
after
year.
You
know
as
long
as
there's
not
you
know,
the
federal
audit
findings
aren't
there
and
things
like
that,
and
they,
you
know,
file
all
their
paperwork
correctly.
B
We,
you
know
we
as
a
state
get
relatively
few
competitive
awards
and
which
I
think
is
what
ms
hasting
was
really
addressing
her
comments
to
so,
to
the
extent
you
know
and
I'm
speaking,
sort
of
in
the
budget
context,
because
that's
my
background
to
the
extent
that
we
do
continue
to
match
or
provide
the
moe,
we
do
generally
get
those
those
competitive
grants
year
after
year.
But
of
course
I
have
seen
it
when
you
know
the
the
federal
funds
dried
up,
and
you
know
to
answer
your
question.
B
It's
not
common
in
the
budget
context
to,
for
instance,
use
general
fund
or
highway
fund
or
some
other
kind
of
state
funds
to
backfill
lost
federal
grants.
I
mean
in
the
olden
days
of
the
budget,
the
chair
of
ways
and
means
used
to
have
a
phrase
when
the
grant
goes
away.
The
program
goes
away
and
that's
more
or
less
continued
to
be
true.
C
Thank
you,
chair
flores.
I
do
have
a
couple
of
questions
and
I
appreciate
the
comments
about
the
differences
between
competitive
grants
and
the
match
fund
dollars
that
come
out
of
the
federal
government.
So
it's,
I
think,
a
really
important
distinction
to
make
in
that.
They
are
two
very
separate
things.
First,
I
want
to
congratulate
the
grants
office
and
all
the
great
work
that
you've
done
over
the
last
couple
of
years.
It's
been
wonderful
to
see
the
growth
and
the
collaboration
in
the
community.
C
I
think
the
training
has
been
essential
and
while
we
still
have
a
competitive
nature,
I'm
sure
with
many
organizations
that
are
vying
for
those
federal
dollars,
I
think
the
more
times
they
come
to
the
table
to
talk
about
where
they
are
more
alike
than
different,
we're
able
to
bring
additional
competitive
dollars
into
the
state.
So
I
think
that's
been
successful,
and
I
want
to
congratulate
you
on
that.
C
To
that
end,
though,
I'm
curious
to
know
how
what
tools
do
you
need
to
help
bring
additional
federal
dollars
in
because
we
know
that
we
are
at
the
very
end,
have
we
given
any
consideration
to
fundraising
private
entities
and
as
a
way
to
supplement
some
of
that
federal
match
dollar
or
to
assist
in
some
of
those
competitive
grant
processes?
So
that
would
be
my
first
question:
how
do
how
does
that
help
us
draw
additional
federal
dollars
down
where
there
is
a
match?
I
think
the
other
thing
that's
really
important
to
to
repeat
again.
C
Miss
hastie
is
how
you
talk
about
supplementing
funding,
as
opposed
to
supplanting
the
funding
and
in
a
competitive
grant
cycle.
If
you
don't
have
a
new
program
to
create
to
draw
down
dollars,
you
just
don't
qualify.
So
how
do
we
help
organizations
to
create
that
new
programming
to
meet
the
need-
and
I
think
I'm
following
up
on
assemblyman
matthew's
comments
relative
to
the
food
program
and
the
way
you
responded
there?
I
think
that
was
a
great
example.
C
So
thank
you
for
providing
that
and
then
the
third
part
of
that
is
how
do
we
centralize
that
data
collection
right?
So
if
we
don't
know
exactly
how
much
federal
dollars
we're
bringing
in
even
into
private
organizations
or
non-profit
entities,
how,
then
do
we
know
really?
Where
do
we
fall
and
are
they
able
to
access
those
those
funds?
So
I
apologize
for
the
number
of
questions,
but
I
do
appreciate
the
detail.
E
Thank
you
for
the
record,
aaron
hastie
and
I'm
try
to
jot
down,
but
please
cut
me
off
like
if
I
didn't
get
it,
so
I
think
the
first
one
is:
how
do
we
kind
of
collaborate
with
the
philanthropic
community
or
private
to
help
increase
grant
match?
Is
that
correct?
E
Okay?
Thank
you,
okay.
So
for
the
record,
that's
a
great
point.
I
know
that
we
were
interested
if
the
grant
match
fund
continued.
You
know
like
to
to
leverage
the
philanthropic
community
to
put
some
money
into
that
and
now
that
we
have
the
data
to
show
there
is
a
return
on
investment.
You
know
for
that,
one
that
we
awarded.
It
was
ten
dollars
back
for
every
one
dollar
invested,
and
so
the
conversations
are
decent,
but
I
moving
forward.
E
Bringing
them
to
the
table
is
is
going
to
be
vital
and
definitely
something
that's
on
our
radar,
a
centralized
data
collection-
and
I
know
I'm
missing
one.
I
missed
the
second
sorry
but
the
centralized
data
collection,
I
think
you
know.
Unfortunately,
we
weren't
able
to
award
a
grant
management
system
and
with
a
budget
this
this
session,
it's
just
not
practical,
but
having
a
grant
management
system
would
really
help
to
identify
what
we
have
there
so
hopefully
in
the
future.
E
Right
now,
we
just
have
you
know
like
the
the
collaboration
that
we
have
patched
excel
sheets
that
were,
you
know
like
that's
where
the
outreach
is
really
important
is
to
try
and
understand
what's
going
on,
but
that's
a
lot
of
leg
work,
so
people
know
about
us
know
to
come
to
us
no
to
report
to
us.
So
it's
not
perfect,
there's
definitely
room
for
improvement
there
and
I
apologize.
I
I
didn't
get.
I
think
I
missed
the
second
part
of
your
question.
C
That
that's
all
right!
Thank
you
sure.
If
I
could
just
have
one
follow-up
question,
it
would
really
be
relative
to
that.
That
piece
right
is
there
a
way
that
we
can
even
fundraise
through
private
foundations,
to
develop
the
the
analysis
that
how
do
we
collect
the
data?
Is
there
a
way
that
we
can
engage
other
philanthropic
organizations
to
get
us
what
we
need
to
bring
more
money
into
the
state
without
the
data
we're
not
going
to
get
more
money?
So
how
do
we
get
the
data
without
having
to
state
fund
that
through
general
fund
dollars?
C
E
Perfect,
thank
you
for
the
record
aaron
hastie
and
I
like,
where
you
going
I'd,
be
happy.
You
know:
can
we
connect
with
you
to
work
on
that,
because
our
office
is
allowed
to
accept
grants
and
gifts?
So
you
know
if
there
was
a
willing
organization
who
was
willing
to
do
that,
and
we
can
find
that
we
would
be
happy
to
to
look
into
that.
But
I'd
be
happy
to
connect
with
you
too.
B
Thank
you,
chairman
flores.
I
appreciate
the
presentation
from
miss
hasty
and
director
freed.
I
do
have
a
a
question
in
reference
to
our
veterans.
I
know
that
nevada
is
seeking
federal
grants
and
I
want
to
know
whether
or
not
we
are
applying
for
on
behalf
of
our
vets.
B
There
are
issues
that
I.e
housing,
job
training,
behavioral
health
and
our
biggest
problem
is
with
the
veterans.
Community
is
suicide
prevention,
so
I
want
to
know
whether
or
not
we
have
any
data
I
have
grants
been
if
you
have
applied
for
them,
have
we
not
received
anything,
and
if
you
have
that
data
hope
that
you
would
share
it
with
us.
E
For
the
record
aaron
hastie,
I
would
be
happy
to
pull
our
data
of
what
we've
been
notified
on,
so
I
I
can
definitely
pull
that
and
get
that
to
you.
A
All
right,
thank
you,
and
I
wanted
to
say
thank
you
again
for
that
great
presentation
and
I
think
it
was
a
great
conversation
we
engaged
in.
We
could
probably
spend
another
couple
hours
here,
so
thank
you,
members
and
thank
you
both
for
being
here
members.
As
always,
I
encourage
you
to
reach
out
reach
out
to
them
offline
continue
this
conversation.
This
is
just
the
very
first
for
many
of
you,
it's
a
continuing
conversation.
So
again,
thank
you
with
that.
A
So
I
believe
we
have
our
chief,
mr
fogerson.
G
D
G
Our
vision
is,
we
want
to
be
nevada's
essential,
emergency
and
disaster
coordinating
partner
and
in
this
presentation,
you're
going
to
see
a
lot
of
pictures
and
many
of
these
pictures
you're
going
to
see
a
lot
of
people
from
different
organizations
involved.
That's
one
of
the
big
things
we
do
and
up
in
the
upper
right
screen.
G
You
can
see
that
division,
emergency
management
is
in
the
center,
but
you
see
all
the
different
people
that
we
coordinate
and
work
with
with
the
governor's
office,
local
and
tribal
emergency
management,
our
continuous
states,
the
volunteer
groups,
our
faith-based
movies,
private
sectors,
federal
agencies,
fema
and
then
state
agencies
that
the
federal
government
calls.
The
state
agencies
that
assist
us
emergency
support
functions
such
as
emergency
support
function,
eight
is
for
health.
G
We
prefer
to
call
them
essential
support
functions
because
we
would
not
be
able
to
do
our
job
without
them,
and
so
this
vision
is
pretty
important
to
us,
and
these
pictures
just
seen
how
well
we
we
work
with
each
other
is
pretty
important
to
our
concept
of
operations.
Here
at
the
division,
our
mission,
we
are
coordinating
mitigation,
preparedness
response,
recovery
programs
and
resources
through
partnerships
to
sustain
life
and
local
communities
for
nevada's
residents
and
visitors.
And
again
you
see
another
keyword
there,
those
partnerships,
it's
a
very
small
organization.
G
We're
not
public
works,
we're
not
firefighter
paramedics,
we're
not
law
enforcement
officers,
we're
not
the
first
responders
out
there
in
the
field,
doing
the
job,
we're
not
on
the
first
line
of
defense,
we're
not
involved
in
every
emergency,
and
we
don't
have
grand
money
without
strings
and
we'll
talk
about
that
statement
here
coming
up,
so
our
role
isn't
to
actually
do
the
job.
Our
role
is
to
support
those
that
are
doing
the
job.
G
G
We
play
the
role
between
federal
programs
and
state
or,
and
local
and
tribal
government
programs
to
be
that
intermediary
force
to
get
some
better
collaboration
and
be
the
exclamation
point
for
some
of
those
descriptors
of
programs
that
might
be
confusing
to
people.
G
We
pride
ourselves
on
being
the
group
that
knows
the
right
portion
of
the
ball.
We
answer
that
phone
when
local
government
calls
for
help-
and
we
pride
ourselves
on
knowing
the
right
state
agency,
the
right
private
resource,
to
call
to
get
them
the
assistance
they
need
we're
collaborators
and
coordinators.
G
We
love
getting
people
together
and
sharing
information
that
way
everybody
is
on
the
same
page
moving
forward,
and
especially
when
you
look
at
the
disaster
room
with
kobe,
we
run.
Multiple
coordination
calls
to
make
sure
that
everybody's
in
the
loop
on
everything
going
on
regardless
what
level
of
government
they're
involved
with
to
make
it
clear,
concise
and
fair
for
everybody
for
a
grant
funding
opportunity
for
local
and
tribal
governments
and
some
private
nonprofits,
we
do
planning
training,
exercise
to
prepare
local
government
and
our
private
nonprofit
partners
for
disasters.
G
We
have
mitigation
recovery
assistance
specialists,
so
we
look
not
only
for
the
funding
to
help
them,
but
we
also
have
some
technical
specialists
to
find
out.
How
do
we
mitigate
the
risk?
Emergency
management
really
is
risk
management
for
disasters,
and
so
we
look
at
how
do
we
buy
down
that
risk?
How
do
we
reduce
the
threat
to
nevada,
and
can
we
mitigate
that
by
having
a
better
shape
building
by
helping
with
some
fire
codes
or
building
codes
by
improving
some
damn
safety
issues?
G
We
also
work
on
statewide
interoperability
resource
if
you
call
911
the
firefighters
that
died
in
the
towers.
One
of
the
issues
that
came
up
was
law
enforcement,
knew
the
towers
were
compromised
and
were
able
to
exit,
but
they
did
not.
They
were
unable
to
communicate
with
the
firefighters
because
of
some
radioaction.
G
G
We
do
a
lot
of
resource
tracking.
We
do
a
tremendous
amount
of
resource
relationship
building
because
we
want
to
be
able
to
be
the
person
that
knows
the
person
to
call
when
someone
needs
help
and
we're
also
the
state
point
of
contact
for
department
of
homeland
security
when
they
have
a
homeland
security
concern.
G
G
G
We
have
hazard
mitigation
funds,
we'll
talk
about
a
minute
that
we
can
give
to
local
communities
or
assist
them
in
getting
additional
funds
from
the
federal
government
to
make
their
communities
safer.
Some
of
these
mitigation
funds
have
gone
to
find
generators
for
shelters
that
local
communities
would
use
for
shelter,
evacuees
and
a
disaster.
G
Emergencies
are
always
locally
executed,
state
directed
and
federally
supported,
so
our
local
governments
are
always
a
sharp
end
of
our
state
at
the
state.
Our
job
is
to
coordinate
that
those
resources
that
they
need
to
do
their
job,
and
then
we
look
to
the
federal
government
for
that
support
that
we
need
to
help
our
locals
out
and
if
you
look
at
our
kova
disaster
right
now,
it's
a
great
example
of
what
we're
doing
locally.
We
have
the
local
health
authorities
and
the
local
county
authorities
doing
the
back
station
clinics.
G
The
states
come
up
the
playbook,
the
state
provided
resources
and
funding
for
those
local
governments
to
be
able
to
do
their
job,
and
then
we
went
to
the
federal
government
for
additional
funding
streams
along
with
people.
Just
this
morning
we
had
some
people
from
usda
show
up
here
at
the
state
to
help
us
do
vaccinations
in
the
quad
county
region.
G
G
G
We
have
preparedness
section
with
john
bakkendal,
and
this
is
we
call
preparedness
because
they
work
on
planning,
training
exercises,
but
they're
also
kind
of
the
operations
component.
Right
now
through
the
kova
disaster,
john
shop
is:
what's
leading
the
state
emergency
operations
center
through
helping
our
local
governments.
G
We
have
grants
recovering
the
mitigation
section
led
by
kelly
anderson,
and
this
section
has
probably
the
biggest
lift
of
any
of
them,
because
they
have
to
worry
about
the
annual
recurring
grants
we
get
from
the
federal
government
for
homeland
security
and
emergency
management.
But
then
we
do
have
a
disaster.
Now
they
get
the
added
responsibility
of
those
recovery
grants
and
working
on
the
mitigation
programs
for
the
future.
G
G
G
We
have
a
large
group
of
partners.
Our
biggest
partner
is
the
nevada
national
guard.
The
state
emergency
operations
center
is
actually
on
the
national
guard
base
in
carson
city
and
our
building
is
jointly
shared
between
the
joint
operations
center
for
the
national
guard,
who's
responsible
for
their
domestic
operations
and
then
our
operations
at
stadio
c,
their
assistant,
especially
here
in
covet,
has
been
invaluable
because
of
the
resource
pool
that
they
can
provide
for
staffing,
but
then
also
their
ability
to
do
some
long-range
planning.
G
G
If
we
have
an
incident
like
right
now
during
kobe
department
of
transportation
involved,
with
helping
us
find
ways
to
transport
resources,
we
have
an
earthquake
department,
transportation
involved
with
the
roadway
issues
which
are
rail
issues
with
air
traffic,
because
that's
all
they're
baileywick
and
they
are
the
subject
matter.
Experts
that
way
we
don't
have
to
become
the
subject
matter
experts,
then
we
have
recovery,
support
functions
as
well.
Where
now
we
have
the
governor's
office
of
economic
development,
we
have
housing
urban
development
in
there.
G
That
way,
we
can
see
ways
to
get
our
state
back
in
order
and
make
it
correct
for
our
citizens
and
every
local
government,
whether
it's
a
city,
a
special
district
or
county.
We
have
connections
to
every
single
one
of
them
to
make
sure
that
we
are
meeting
their
needs
and
we
meet
with
them.
Like
I
talked
about
during
the
with
the
covet
thing,
their
covenant
incident
every
week,
we're
doing
coordination
calls
with
all
these
entities.
We
also
reach
out
to
them.
G
G
We
work
with
nevada's
27
recognized
tribal
nations.
We
have
two
employees
that
work
through
the
nevada
emergency
tribal
accordion
council
here
in
office.
One
is
paid
for
from
emergency
management.
Funds
wants
paperwork
from
public
and
behavioral
health
funds.
So
that
way
we
can
make
sure
that
our
tribal
nations
have
their
emergency
management
and
their
public
health
needs
met
and
then,
of
course,
in
the
federal
level,
fema
and
fema
is
a
tremendous
partner
for
us,
you're,
actually
embedding
their
eoc
right.
G
Now
we
have
a
full-time
employee
that
is
here
year-round,
regardless
of
disaster,
to
help
us
figure
out
how
to
move
emergency
management,
and
how
do
we
make
nevada
more
resilient
because
of
cobit?
You
have
an
additional
price
10
employees
that
are
detailed
just
as
the
emergency
operations
center
help
us
coordinate
between
the
federal
government,
the
state
government
and
local
governments.
G
Department
of
homeland
security,
the
department
of
energy
and
department
of
defense
are
all
three
key
players,
especially
when
we
start
looking
at
some
of
the
the
other
parts
of
what
we
do
in
emergency
management
to
spread
some
money
because
of
the
threat
of
radiation,
concern
that
we
do
have
in
southern
nevada
and
eastern
nevada.
G
We
have
a
picture
there
of
a
food
bank
encounter.
We
did
one
of
the
issues
that
the
tribal
nations
came
to
us.
The
nevada
indian
commission
came
to
us
with
that.
They
were
having
trouble
getting
elders
food
during
covet,
and
so
we
partnered
with
nevada,
indian
commission,
the
inter-tribal
coordinating
council
in
tech
and
food
banks
in
order
to
get
that
food
out
in
those
right
places.
G
G
Division
of
emergency
management
is
mentioned
in
a
lot
of
nrs's.
It's
actually
amazing.
I
took
the
position
in
october
coming
from
local
government
and
I
asked
our
dad
to
finally
all
the
nrs's
what
were
mentioned,
and
I
was
very
shocked
when
I
got
this
very
large
book
of
every
place
that
dividend
emergency
management
is
listed.
G
The
big
one
to
raise
your
attention
to
is
239c
just
interest
on
homeland
security,
and
this
talks
about
our
homeland
security
roles
and
how
we
better
protect
our
state
from
those
threats
and
how
we
interact
with
our
local
partners
to
make
sure
that
they
have
what
they
need
to
keep
them
safe,
353
estate
finance.
We
do
have
a
disaster
relief
account
that
local
governments
can
petition
the
division
and
then
the
legislature
to
have
funds
out
of
it
should
a
disaster
occur
and
it
exceeds
their
ability
to
meet
that.
G
Obviously,
we
haven't
had
to
reach
that
yet
with
covid
because
of
all
the
federal
assistance
we
have
been
receiving,
but
in
a
normal
emergency
incident,
it's
not
uncommon
for
a
local
government
to
produce
a
request
to
get
some
disaster
leak
account
funds.
G
Nrs
414
is
really
our
our
main
bread
and
butter
for
our
legal
authority.
This
describes
our
division
and
all
of
our
responsibilities
and
414
a
talks
about
our
interest
state
each
way.
This
is
really
important
because
we
pushed
this
a
few
years
ago
and
I
was
on
the
local
government
side
helping
with
it
at
a
time
because
this
eliminated
the
need
for
mutual
aid
agreements
by
any
local
government
that
they're
all
immediate
partners
to
a
mutual
aid
plan.
So
they
can
all
share
resources
when
they
need
something
without
having
to
worry
about
any
illegal
authorities.
G
So,
funding
of
the
division
we
are
95
federally
grant
supported
and
we
have
a
number
of
major
programs
here.
We
work
through
the
first
one
being
the
emergency
management
performance
grant,
and
this
one
is
4.6
million
dollars
that
the
state
gets
from
the
federal
government
and
we
split
it
50
50
with
local
governments
and
so
that
50
percent
of
that
states
here
with
the
division
of
emergency
management,
the
other
50
percent
of
this
spread
to
our
local
governments
that
way
they
can
manage
emergency
management
programs
themselves.
G
We
get
222
000
from
the
public
health
emergency
preparedness
grant,
and
that's
for
that
tribal
partnership
of
how
to
help
and
make
that
a
better,
more
resilient
program
for
our
tribal
nation.
Homeland
security
grant
program
division.
Emergency
management
keeps
1.6
million
out
of
a
10.5
million
allocation.
G
We
have
an
agreement
in
principle
with
the
department
of
energy
and
we
do
keep
a
majority.
Those
funds
for
training
and
education
of
first
responders
in
the
state
related
to
nuclear
and
radiation
items.
We
have
an
emergency
preparedness
working
group
that
gets
638
000
from
the
federal
government,
and
this
majority
of
this
does
flow
to
our
local
governments
in
order
to
have
them
prepared
for
any
type
of
radiological
emergency
on
the
highways
and
the
travels
the
waste
isolation.
G
G
G
How
do
we
reduce
the
risk
of
your
city
hall
collapsing,
an
earthquake,
and
that
is
also
able
to
get
more
funds
on
a
competitive
process
nationally
in
order,
if
we
do
have
good
products
to
keep
people
true
and
then
the
big
part
of
what
we
do
is
that
public
assistance
grants.
So
every
time
we
have
a
disaster,
that's
been
declared
by
the
state
to
be
cleared
by
the
federal
government.
G
We
get
the
ability
to
get
public
assistance,
grants
for
local
and
state
projects
to
to
make
the
public
side
whole
again,
and
so,
when
they
say
public,
this
is
always
confusing,
because
you
think
the
general
public.
This
is
all
really
government
assistance.
This
is
how
do
we
rebuild
the
school
after
it
collapses?
This
is
how
do
we
pay
for
the
ppe
that
we
need
for
coded,
and
you
can
see
there
at
the
bottom
that
we
do
get
some
percentage
grants
for
management
costs?
G
So
if
we
get
200
million
dollars
worth
of
public
assistance
grants,
we
get
seven
percent
of
that
back
to
the
state.
So
we
have
employees
to
manage
those
grant
programs
so
between
dm
and
the
and
what
we
give
out
to
our
local
partners.
We
keep
5.1
to
5.7
million
dollars
to
run
our
operations
out
of
a
total
of
17.9,
so
majority
of
what
we
get
from
federal
government.
We
can
pass
through
our
locals
that
way
they
are
ready
to
respond
and
we
don't
have
to
work
as
hard
to
help
them
when
that
disaster
occurs.
G
G
Experts
on
a
committee
provide
good
advice
to
us
and
then
that
nevada
tribal
emergency
coordinating
council-
and
this
is
all
the
tribes
and
myself
and
we
get
together
once
a
quarter
in
order
to
talk
about
tribal
emergency
related
issues
and
make
those
tribes
more
resilient
and
make
our
state
more
resilient.
As
a
result.
G
For
that
reason,
and
some
of
the
conversation
we
have
in
that
it
just
really
isn't
for
the
most
people
who
want
to
hear,
and
then
we
have
the
nevada,
injury
statements,
late
committee
and
this
committee
was
formed
after
we
did
the
414
a
law.
So
that
way
we
can
coordinate
between
public
works
law
enforcement,
fire
service,
emergency
medical
services
and
the
various
government
groups.
How
do
we
get
them
each
lay
to
somebody?
G
G
You
can
see
the
picture
one
of
the
two
warehouses
we
have
with
the
stock
at
pp
that
we're
holding
on
to
and
pushing
out,
when
requested
from
local
governments,
to
make
sure
that
every
healthcare
provider
in
state
of
attic
has
the
person-protected
equipment
they
need
to
keep
them
safe.
In
this
disaster.
G
You
see
the
partnerships
in
the
center
there,
where
we're
doing
the
vaccine,
starting
at
one
of
the
washington
posts.
The
upper
right
is
a
vaccine
pod
pond
the
middle
of
the
snow.
The
lower
right
is
a
vaccine
pod
and
a
little
more
nice
time
of
year,
and
then
some
of
those
partnerships
we
have
southwest
airlines
is
actually
working
with
us
to
move
some
our
product,
north
and
south,
to
help
us
get
the
right
equipment
the
right
place
at
the
right
time
at
no
cost.
It's
been
a
great
partnership
for
them
to
share
with
us.
G
So
our
responsibility
really
is
that
logistics
piece
for
the
warehouse
and
ppe.
The
warehousing
and
testing
supplies
how
to
test
helping
with
vaccinations,
helping
with
the
personality
equipment
and
then
being
that
coordinator
of
all
those
different
folks
that
are
involved
in
this
discussion
to
get
us
out
of
this
campaign.
G
G
Primarily,
we
do
a
lot
with
search
and
rescue
assistance,
and
so
when
there's
a
search
and
rescue
that's
responsible
to
share,
if
they
count
when
they
need
assistance,
they
need
aircraft,
they
need
support
from
military.
They
need
support
from
someone
can
help
them
with
some
additional
skills.
They
might
not
have
we're
that
conduit
to
it.
The
duty
officer
can
also
get
intra
and
interstate
each
way
for
all
hazards,
so
we
have
an
earthquake.
G
If
we
have
a
large
structured
fire,
they
can
move
those
resources
around
for
us
very
easily
and
then
the
first
line
of
notification,
for
instance,
after
the
duty
officer
program,
when
we
exceed
their
ability
to
manage
that
incident,
then
we
open
the
emergency
operation
center.
A
couple
pictures
here
on
the
left
that
are
both
pre-covered
that
show
what
our
emergency
operations
center
looks
like.
This
is
where
we
bring
in
the
various
state
agencies
and
our
private
nonprofits
to
assist
us
in
managing
that
incident.
We
do
coordination
calls
jurisdictions.
G
G
We
managed
two
state
incident
management
teams
right
now.
We
are
in
the
process
of
working
to
develop
both
of
those
those
were
a
requirement
of
nrs
last
session
and
we're
still
underway
with
making
those
happen.
We
manage
an
interoperability
communication
program
and
we
manage
the
radiation
waste
isolation
pilot
program.
G
We
manage
a
lot
of
pre-incident
grant
activities
to
buy
down
our
risk
and
we
talked
about
these.
The
homeland
security
grant
program,
the
urban
area
security
initiative.
This
is
the
special
designation
that
we
receive
for
clark
county
in
order
for
them
to
have
their
special
carve
out
of
funds
from
the
federal
government
to
make
sure
that
we
keep
the
las
vegas
community,
safe
emergency
management
program
grant
to
keep
emergency
management
working
that
pre-disaster
mitigation.
G
Normally
these
grants
all
about
17.9
million
dollars
that
were
managed,
and
then
we
do
post-disaster
declaration
grant
program.
The
public
assistance
we
talked
about
this
year.
Division
emergency
management
is
managing
over
200
million
dollars
in
grants
and
we've
been
able
to
expand.
Our
staff,
through
an
internal
finance
committee,
allowed
us
to
add
three
grant
project,
announce,
analysts
and
then
three
administrative
assistants
to
help
them
to
manage
all
of
these
additional
grants
that
we're
getting
that
are
kind
of
unheard
of
because
of
cobit
and
all
those
employees
are
100
federally
funded.
G
G
If
you
go
to
www.ready.gov,
you
can
learn
what
you
need
to
do
to
make
that
plan
and
make
that
kit,
and
you
should
have
a
plan
and
a
kit
for
your
house
and
for
your
work
or
something
in
your
car,
especially
with
the
extreme
weather
conditions
we
have
either
in
the
north
of
snow
or
in
the
south,
with
our
peak
and
our
wind
conditions
that
we
have
down
there.
Our
top
risk
in
nevada
are
earthquake.
Violent
fire
flood
severe
storm
extreme
heat
throughout
the
pandemic.
G
G
A
A
And
thank
you
for
that.
For
that
presentation.
I
know
there
was
a
lot
of
material.
We
went
through
there
and
thank
you
for
all
the
work.
You're
doing
you
know
I'll.
Take
this
personal
point
of
privilege
here
to
say
thank
you
to
mr
ryan
gershman.
There
at
your
office.
I
know
about
eight
nine
months
ago,
through
the
nevada,
hispanic
legislative
caucus,
we
had
a
food
initiative
and
you
helped
to
secure,
or
he
helped
to
secure,
better
set
masks
for
a
lot
of
families
who
desperately
needed
them.
A
So
we're
just
incredibly
grateful
for
that
tremendous
amount
of
work
that
you've
been
doing
and
for
being
actively
out
there
working
with
the
community
and
identifying
vulnerable
of
community
members.
So
thank
you
and
I
just
wanted
to
do
a
quick
shout
out
to
him.
So
members
we'll
go
ahead
and
open
it
up
for
questions
at
this
time.
A
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
don't
miss
anybody
here.
I
don't
see
any
immediate
questions
now,
but
members,
if
feel
comfortable
to
unmute
yourself,
should
I
have
missed
somebody
if
I
could
we'll
open
it
up
with
the
assemblywoman
black.
Please.
B
A
Yes,
assemblywoman
once
we
do
the
presentation
on
the
the
bill
itself,
we'll
go
into
further
detail
at
that
point.
If
you
had
overarching
just
broad
questions
about
that,
I'm
sure
they
could
answer
those.
Otherwise
you
can
wait
for
the
bill
itself.
A
Thank
you,
assemblywoman
members,
any
additional
questions.
A
B
Thank
you
very
thank
you
for
the
information
chief
ferguson,
and
maybe
I
missed
this
portion.
Is
there
any
hacking
sort
of
programs
because
we're
seeing
more
and
more
computer
hacking
taking
place
the
local
and
state
government
concerns?
So
I
didn't
know
if
that
was
under
your
department
or
a
different
department.
G
Thank
you,
ma'am
david
fogerson,
for
the
record.
The
department
of
public
safety
does
have
a
office
of
cyber
security
and
that
division
takes
care
of
that.
We
do
fund
them
through
some
homeland
security
funds.
We
get
from
the
federal
government
that
is
primarily
in
their
section.
We
do
stay
very
heavily
connected
and
involved
because
of
the
threat.
I'm
sure
you
saw
in
the
media.
G
Someone
was
able
to
hack
into
a
water
system
in
florida
and
change
some
of
the
components
that
were
added
to
the
water
that
would
have
made
it
houses.
So
we
stayed
very
well
in
tune
with
that
with
the
nevada
threat
assessment
center,
the
office
of
cyber
security
and
then
with
their
federal
partners.
But
it
is
the
responsibility
primarily
of
the
office
of
cyber
security.
D
Yes,
mr
chair,
I
had
one
assemblyman
ellison,
please
thank
you,
mr
chair.
There
was
one
slide
at
the
very,
very
end
and
it
showed
for
families
preparedness.
I
think
that's
great
and
I
think
that
needs
to
be
out
more
to
the
public,
because
anything
can
happen.
Floods,
fires,
earthquakes,
tornadoes
whatever,
but
a
bug
out
bag
that
you
showed
in
there
was
great,
and
I
think
that,
like
radios,
you
know
emergency
radios,
crank,
radios
or
whatever,
but
emergencies
happen
everywhere,
and
people
take
it
for
granted.
D
G
Thank
you
for
the
question,
sir
david
fogerson.
For
the
record.
Absolutely
the
last
year
we've
been
very
involved
with
kobe,
with
our
public
information
officer
managing
the
state
joint
information
center.
We
were
able
to
just
move
her
back
from
the
code
response
to
normal
response,
and
so
we
are
going
to
start
getting
back
into
public
messaging
for
that
all
hazard
response,
because
that
really
is
where
that
some
of
that
mitigation
and
that
protection
exists
by
making
sure
our
public
knows
what
the
threats
are
and
how
they
can
prepare
themselves
for
that
threat.
A
Thank
you
assemblyman,
and
thank
you
again
for
the
presentation,
I'm
sure
we'll
dive
into
a
lot
deeper
questions
here
with
the
bill
with
that.
I'd
like
to
close
out
the
presentation
by
the
division
of
emergency
management
and
office
of
homeland
security,
and
next
I'd
like
to
open
up
our
bill
hearing
on
assembly
bill
14,
which
revises
provisions
relating
to
emergency
management
whenever
you're
ready.
G
Thank
you,
chair
david
foberson,
chief
of
division,
emergency
management,
homeland
security
for
the
record,
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
to
you
assembly
bill
14..
This
bill
draft
cleans
up
some
existing
language
that
division
emergency
management
has
found
problems
with
over
the
last
two
years.
G
G
We
propose
in
the
bill
to
change
the
required
median
frequency
to
a
quarterly
basis.
Interact
is
required
to
meet
monthly
right
now
in
nrs,
and
especially
during
the
covet
pandemic.
That
became
difficult
not
only
for
the
state
to
manage,
but
also
for
our
local
partners
to
attend
and
for
us,
total
corn
and
so
we're
recommending
that
we
move
that
committee
to
a
quarterly
basis
and
or
at
the
media
that
should
call
the
chair.
G
G
The
next
change
we
propose
is
about
the
state
disaster
identification
coordinating
committee.
The
current
language
relates
to
items
that
are
addressed
by
our
local
jurisdictions.
We
remove
much
of
the
language
that
is
responsible
for
our
local
partners.
We
learned
this
through
the
covet
pandemic.
Where
we've
had
this
committee
meet
numerous
times
to
discuss
the
issues
regarding
mass
fatality,
we
need
to
keep
the
committee
in
existence
due
to
the
ability
to
coordinate
these
mass
fatality
needs,
but
we
like
to
remove
the
provisions
that
are
a
local
and
not
state
responsibility.
A
A
And
I'll,
I
believe
our
vice
chair,
madam
vice
chair,
please,
whenever
you're
ready.
B
Engager
and
thank
you
for
your
presentation
and
for
your
presentation
of
the
bill
as
well,
so
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
understand.
You
know
if
there
was
going
to
be
any.
I
see
that
the
nevada,
tribal
emergency
coordinating
council
is
impacted
by
these
decisions
as
well,
and
I
want
to
know
if
they've
been
part
of
this
conversation
and
if
they're
supportive
of
this.
G
Bill
we've
had
conversations
at
that
committee
to
discuss
these
changes
to
make
sure
that
everyone's
in
agreement
with
it
we're
not
changing
anything
with
them
on
their
meeting
basis.
It's
always
been
quarterly
we're
just
cleaning
up
the
language
on
how
it
says
that
it
is
a
quarterly
meaning
and
sure
everyone's
clear
on
that.
A
E
That
okay,
thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
just
want
to
preface
my
comments.
B
Here
by
saying,
I
am
in
favor
of
less
committees,
less
committee
meetings
in
general,
but
I'm
a
little
leery
of
any
reduction
in
emergency
response
during
a
covid
or
any
other
sort
of
pandemic.
So
I
have
several
questions,
but
my
main
question
is-
and
my
concern
is
the
reporting
from
the
health
agencies
when
someone
comes
through
with
with
an
illness
or
something
like
that-
I'm
sorry,
I'm
stepped
away
from
my
computer,
so
I'm
kind
of
jumbled.
But
that's
my
main
concern.
Can
you
address
that.
G
D
Allison,
thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
when
I'm
reading
this
bill
ab14
this
a
bill.
Basically
it's
it's,
it
becomes
law
and
it
doesn't
say
it.
It
does
expire
now,
so
this
thing
could
go
on
for
eternity.
D
My
problem
is
that,
right
now,
when
the
people
need
committees
and
people
to
talk
to,
and
people
listen
to,
we
shouldn't
be
closing
committees.
We
should
be
open
doors
for
the
people,
not
closing
them
and-
and
I
understand
where
their
their
problem
is.
I
really
do
because
I'm
involved
with
a
lot
of
these
tribes
out
there,
but
my
problem
is
a
lot
of
these
people.
D
Don't
get
hurt
and-
and
I
I
really
believe
this
is
gonna
hurt
in
the
long
run
and
the
other
thing
is
this:
shouldn't
have
been
a
bill,
it
should
have
been
something
through
administration,
just
allow
it
to
go
for
one
year
or
something,
but
not
a
bill
in
a
law.
And
that's
that's
my
problem
with
this,
and
if
you
can
answer
that-
and
thank
you,
mr
chairman,.
G
Thank
you
for
the
question,
sir
david
folgerson,
for
the
record
aptly
concur.
Our
intent
here
is
not
to
stop
the
conversations,
because
those
conversations,
especially
during
the
pandemic,
we're
occurring
weekly
through
the
coordination,
calls
with
all
of
our
communities,
and
we
do
that
with
every
disaster.
When
we
had
the
pine
haven
incident
with
the
city
of
reno,
when
they
declared
a
disaster,
we
had
two
or
three
coordination
calls
with
just
those
local
jurisdictions
that
are
affected
by
that
disaster.
So
we're
always
doing
that.
What
this
is
doing
is
specifically
on
the
nevada
resilience
advisory
committee.
G
It's
right
now
in
statute
as
requiring
a
monthly
meeting,
and
the
committee
members
and
the
division
all
have
the
discussion
and
the
agreement.
That
meeting
monthly
is
is
a
little
too
much
for
the
workload
of
those
committee
members
given
the
size
of
the
committee,
and
so
that's
why
we're
proposing
we
meet
once
a
quarter
or
at
the
chair
or
at
the
call
the
chair.
So
if
there
is
something
you
need
to
discuss
and
address
such
as
right
now
we're
in
the
middle
of
the
homeland
security
grant
process.
G
So
if
this
was
in
effect
right
now,
we
would
probably
still
be
meeting
january
february
march
to
make
it
through
the
grant
process,
but
then
we'd
be
able
to
do
quarterly.
If
we
didn't
have
business
to
obtain
to
so
it
doesn't
remove
our
ability
to
communicate
with
our
partners
and
it
doesn't
diminish
the
our
our
dramatic
desire
to
do
that
outreach.
It
still
gives
us
an
opportunity,
but
takes
away
that
level
of
requiring
it
once
a
a
month
that
has
been
burdensome
to
the
committee
members
and
the
division.
D
Please
follow
up
and
for
this
clarification
this
would
be
it'll
be
quarterly,
but
and
if
it
went
quarterly
versus
because
most
most
committees
or
most
boards
are
quarterly
out
in
the
rural
areas
anyway.
Isn't
that.
G
Not
david
fogerson's
record,
I'm
not
sure
if
most
are,
but
for
at
the
division.
Most
of
our
committees
are
correlated
at
least
within
division,
I'm
not
sure
about
other
divisions
and
the
tribal
emergency
reporting
committee
is
a
quarterly
or
writing
we're
cleaning
up
language
that
way,
it
mirrors
what
we're
proposing
for
the
the
resilience
committee
moving.
That's
the
quarterly
basis.
D
Okay
and
then,
if
you
look
on
item
three
or
item
well
that
jumps
over,
but
at
two
and
three
on
page
three,
it
says
at
least
once
every
three
months
and
that's
crossed
off
as
frequent
as
required
to
performance
duties
that
I
don't
like
and
and
but
it
says
not
less
than
once
a
year
once
a
quarter.
So
if
the
quarter's
in
there,
then,
why
didn't
you
just
make
that
it's
every
quarter
versus
not
less
than
so?
D
A
Question
is
my
sound
working
now
yeah
perfect
sorry,
I
went
to
two
different
screens
here
and
mess
with
my
sound
members.
Any
additional
questions.
B
I
believe
assemblywoman
duran
has
a
question.
A
A
B
B
You
don't
want
to
duplicate,
that
is
that
process.
As
you
said,
there
was
one
agency
that
does
report,
that
is
that,
distributed
to
the
chief
and
two
members
of
the
board
as
well
for
that
report.
G
G
Most
of
those
reports
are
done
at
the
local
level
and
not
at
the
state
level.
There
is
a
report
that
that
committee
does
provide
to
me
that
is
outside
the
opening
law,
to
talk
about
the
ability
for
the
state
to
respond
to
mass
fatality
incidences,
and
I
do
have
to
apologize.
I
just
noticed
that
in
that
language
we
also
that's
where
I
see
our
confusion
and
that's
completely
my
fault
for
not
mentioning
it.
We
didn't
change
the
state
disaster,
identification
coordination.
G
G
No,
we
that
committee
does
want
to
meet
once
a
year
instead
of
every
quarter
or
as
necessary,
such
as
during
kobit.
We've
had
them
meet
multiple
times
to
take
care
of
issues
that
we've
been
concerned
about,
but
in
a
non-disaster
situation,
an
annual
meeting
that
group
to
make
sure
that
all
the
parties
are
on
the
same
page
is
adequate.
B
G
A
A
G
Thanks
for
the
question
david
fullerson
for
the
record,
yes,
we've
had
multiple
conversations
with
the
members
that
group
and
with
the
division
and
the
in
fact,
during
coven,
we've
had
multiple
meetings
and
even
during
the
multiple
meetings,
it
was
kind
of
a
rehash
of
the
information.
They'd
already
discussed
the
prior
meeting,
and
so
that
group
was
good
with
moving.
F
B
A
And
thank
you
members.
I
don't
believe
we
have
any
other
questions.
Should
you
have
another
question
they
will
be
at
the
conclusion
of
going
through
support.
Opposition
in
neutral
be
coming
back
into
the
meeting
to
do
any
closing
remarks
and
at
that
time
you'll
have
an
opportunity
to
ask
more
questions.
So
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
ask
those
wishing
to
speak
and
support
broadcast.
If
we
could,
please
go
to
those
wishing
to
speak
in
support,
and
I
ask
that
you
limit
your
remarks
to
two.
B
B
B
B
D
B
B
A
And
I
will
let
the
record
let
that
we
did
not
have
anybody
signed
in
in
opposition,
so
we
were
not
expecting
anybody
to
do
so.
However,
we
wanted
to
open
up
the
lines
just
for
the
sake
of
clarity
and
fairness
in
case
somebody
didn't
have
an
opportunity
to
do
that.
Broadcasting
please.
I
apologize
for
interrupting.
A
B
A
Thank
you
broadcasting
and
I
will
state
so
that
the
record
reflects
that
we
did
have
one
individual
signed
in
in
the
neutral
position
from
from
the
nevada
division
of
public
and
behavioral
health,
public
health
preparedness,
emily
gold-
and
I
just
put
that
on
the
record,
said
that
it
is
clearly
reflected
that
we
did
have
somebody
wishing
to
speak
in
the
neutral
position
from
the
signing
sheet.
A
We
did
not
have
anybody
wishing
to
speak
in
the
opposite
in
opposition
of
the
bill,
and
then
we
did
have
three
individuals
sign
in
in
support
at
this
time.
Any
closing
remarks
you
may
have.
G
Thank
you,
chair
dude,
fulberson,
division,
emergency
management.
For
the
record,
I
appreciate
the
questions
that
we
had
on
the
bill
and
I
will
work
with
lcb
and
our
dag
to
clean
up
some
of
this
language
to
make
it
that
way.
Each
of
these
committees
have
the
same
language
on
the
quarterly
call
of
the
chair
or
annually.
If
they
call
the
chairs
that
way,
let
me
clarify
some
of
that
make
it
much
more
clear.
A
G
Forward
with
everyone-
and
I
appreciate
the
time
that
you
spent
listening
to
our
presentation
about
our
division
and
thank
you
for
your
help.
A
And
thank
you
again
for
the
presentation
members.
I
I
appreciate
your
concerns
being
raised,
obviously
we're
in
the
middle
of
a
pandemic,
and
you
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
meeting
so
that
the
public
has
accessible
information
via
minutes
as
to
exactly
what's
happening
and
at
the
same
exact
time
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
allowing
everybody
to
do
what
whatever
work
they
have
to
do
and
not
necessarily
restraining
by
tying
their
hands
with
specific
mandy's.
A
So
I'm
sure
we'll
find
a
comfortable
middle
ground
to
the
committee's
satisfaction.
With
that,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
close
out
the
hearing
on
assembly
bill
14
and
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
open
it
up
for
public
comment.
Anybody
wishing
to
speak
broadcasting.
B
B
B
A
All
right
members
thank
you
again
and
I
apologize
for
my
technical
difficulties
there
in
the
middle
of
the
hearing.
I
appreciate
everybody
indulging
me
so
with
that
members.
We
are
done
with
today's
work.
Thank
you.
We
we
just
had
our
very
first
hearing
and
luckily
I
I
take
the
hit
on
creating
the
hiccups
there
and
not
any
of
you.
I
expect
for
our
meetings
to
continue
to
flow
smoothly
and
as
people
get
more
comfortable
with
calling
in
and
participating
with
these
meetings.
A
I
anticipate
support
neutral
and
opposition
growing
every
time
I'll
make
it
a
point
to
try
to
specify
how
many
folk
signed
in
and
support
opposition
or
neutral,
as
many
of
them
don't
always
wish
to
speak,
but
just
so
that
the
record
reflects
how
many
folk
we
had
on
each
side,
just
for
the
sake
of
clarity,
fairness
and,
and
so
that
everybody
is
heard
one
way
or
the
other.
A
With
that
members
we're
going
to
be
meeting
again
tomorrow
morning
at
9am
we're
going
to
continue
with
presentations
for
tomorrow
and
thursday
and
friday.
Just
to
finish
off
the
week
strong
we're
going
to
be
having
two
bill
presentations.
I
want
to
make
sure
you
give
yourself
an
opportunity
to
review
those
ahead
of
time.
A
I
don't
anticipate
anything
being
overly
controversial,
but
we'll
have
a
lot
of
clarifying
questions
and
just
so
that
we
can
kind
of
understand
exactly
where
they're
coming
from
members.
Thank
you
again
to
our
newest
member.
Thank
you
day.
One.
You
hit
the
ground
running
with
the
question,
so
I
appreciate
you
and
we'll
be
back
tomorrow
morning
at
9am.
This
meeting's
adjourned.
