C
A
President,
thank
you,
madam
secretary.
Let
the
record
reflect
that
all
members
are
present.
I
do
have
a
quorum
members.
As
you
know,
we
have
two
presentations
for
today,
followed
by
two
bill
hearings
and
I
think
we're
gonna
take
the
order
in
the
agenda
in
the
order
that
it
appears
so
that
we
could
allow
the
city
of
las
vegas
to
get
squared
away.
I
know
that
they
were
running
around
between
meetings.
I
want
to
remind
everybody,
please
mute
your
microphone.
A
Please
keep
your
camera
on
at
all
times,
and
those
of
you
presenting
please
state
your
name
for
the
record
after
each
question,
so
that
we
can
help
our
staff
with
that.
I'd
like
to
go
ahead
and
open
up
the
president.
Excuse

presentation
by
the

of
city

A

of
fallon,
the
services
that
the
league
provides
the
members
the
services,
rather,
that
our
members
provide
residents
of
nevada.
G
The
services
that
the
league
provides
our
members
chiefly
revolves
around
advocacy,
both
with
the
nevada
legislature
and
our
congressional
delegation
with
other
federal
and
state
agencies
provide
educational
workshops.
Our
board
of
directors
meets
quarterly,
and
our
executive
board
meets
at
least
quarterly
and
as
needed.
We
have
an
annual
conference
this
year,
scheduled
for
april.
I
mean
sorry
august
in
sparks
nevada.
We
are
active
participants
in
the
national
league
of
cities.
We
have
members
on
steering
committees
and
advisory
committees
of
that
body.
We
also
provide
group
insurance
and
deferred
compensation
plans
and
certification
for
public
officials.
G
The
league
itself
also
sits
on
various
state
boards
and
commissions
in
order
to
help
promote
the
priorities
of
our
members
and
to
be
advised
of
relevant
developments
and
policy
developments
throughout
the
state.
G
For
this
session
of
the
legislature,
the
league
is
putting
forth
three
bills:
ab3
ab63,
which
is
what
we
are
here
to
address
with
the
with
your
committee
here
today,
and
also
sb
64,
is
going
to
start
getting
hearings
and
and
consideration
in
the
senate.
G
Ab3
really
looks
to
revise
provisions
concerning
the
electronic
transmissions
of
certain
maps
and
other
documents
related
to
the
approval
of
the
division
of
land.
It's
an
act
related
to
the
use
of
planning,
revising
provisions
concerning
the
electronic
transmission
of
certain
maps
and
other
documents
relating
to
approval
of
divisions
of
land
and
providing
other
matters
properly
relating
thereto
ab63
is
enact
relating
to
local
financial
administration,
authorizing
a
local
government
to
use
money
from
a
certain
fund
to
mitigate
the
effects
of
certain
emergencies
and
providing
other
matters
properly
relating
there
too
and
sp
64..
G
This
relates
to
taxation,
reducing
the
statutory
tax
rate
of
depreciation.
This
is
about
property
tax
applicable
to
improvements
made
on
real
property
for
the
purposes
of
determining
the
taxable
value
of
the
property,
providing
provisions
governing
the
calculation
and
the
amount
of
certain
partial
abatements
of
property
taxes
and
providing
other
matters
properly
relating
there
too.
G
Our
legislative
priorities
for
this
session
is
to
support
the
effort
in
them
into
the
nevada's
property
tax
system,
to
address
state
preemption
of
local
authority
unfunded
mandates
and
to
ensure
the
equity
of
authority.
Our
federal
authorities
continue
to
be
direct
access.
I
mean
direct
funding
for
cities
for
covert
relief
to
aid
in
budget
stabilization
infrastructure
funding,
including
direct
allocation
for
infrastructure
projects,
maintain
the
tax-exempt
status
of
municipal
bonds,
workforce
housing
access,
the
federal
banking
systems
for
state
legal
marijuana
business
5g
preemption,
and
to
maintain
the
current
cdbg
community
development
block
grant
funding
with
that.
A
Thank
you,
mr
harper
members.
Any
questions,
and,
as
always,
I
I'll
state
the
caveat
to
please
refrain
from
asking
any
questions
directly
on
point
relating
to
the
bill,
as
we'll
have
an
opportunity
to
bet
that
a
little
bit
later
today,
but
any
broad
questions
or
overarching
questions
you
may
have.
Please
feel
free
to
do
that
now.
A
A
Thank
you
chair,
mr
harper.
I
think
that's
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
hold
all
questions
for
the
the
bills
themselves,
and
and
thank
you
again
for
being
with
us
this
morning
by
the
way,
mr
harper,
I
wanted
to
commend
you
and
thank
you
for
reaching
out
to
all
the
members
or
most
of
the
members.
I
know
you
didn't
have
a
chance
to
speak
with
everybody,
but
you
had
an
opportunity
to
speak
with
some
regarding
the
bills,
and
I
wanted
to
thank
you
for
doing
that.
A
I
want
to
set
the
precedent
for
all
presenters
to
do
that,
so
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
close
out
the
presentation,
and
next
I'm
going
to
open
up
the
presentation
from
the
city
of
las
vegas
good
morning
and
welcome.
F
F
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
for
the
record,
my
name
is
randy
robinson
currently
serving
as
the
deputy
director
for
the
city
of
las
vegas
government
affairs
joined
by
two
very
distinguished
presenters
this
morning
on
my
left.
Your
right
is
councilwoman
olivia
diaz,
a
former
four-term
state
assembly
woman,
she's
joined
us
today.
She'll
be
our
closer
and
to
my
to
my
right
to
your
left,
is
our
city
manager,
jorge
stavantes?
F
He
was
appointed
city
manager
in
november
of
last
year,
he's
been
with
the
city
well
over
20
years,
served
in
a
variety
of
positions,
we're
fortunate
to
have
his
leadership
at
this
critical
time
in
in
in
the
city's
development.
So
with
that,
mr
chairman,
I'll
turn
it
over
to
our
city
manager,
he'll,
give
the
the
bulk
of
the
presentation
and
then
then
he'll
turn
it
over
to
councilwoman
diaz.
I
Thank
you
randy
good
morning,
chairman
the
chairman
and
assembly
committee
on
government
affairs.
Let's
share
our
screen
here,
so
we
can
get
started
with
our
presentation.
I
Okay,
thank
you
well,
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
present
to
the
assembly
committee
on
government
affairs
a
little
bit
about
the
city
of
las
vegas
and
to
discuss
with
you
how
our
city
is
structured
and
how
it
operates.
Some
of
the
priorities
that
our
city
council
has
set
out
for
us
and
then
some
opportunities
for
collaborative
partnerships
between
the
city
and
the
state
and
other
organizations
and
agencies.
I
As
a
charter
city,
our
local
government
operates
under
a
council
manager
for
our
government,
which
is
typical
of
most
major
cities
throughout
the
country
where
our
mayor
is
selected
at
large,
and
we
have
six
council
persons
elected
or
specific,
representing
their
area.
Our
elected
officials
are
elected
for
four-year
terms
with
staggered
election
cycles.
So
every
two
years
three
of
our
council
people
are
for
reelection.
I
I
The
city's
manager's
office
is
structured
with
chiefs
that
oversee
multiple
departments
based
on
service
functions.
That
syndicate
in
this
chart
each
chief
matches
between
three
or
six
departments,
depending
on
the
size,
study
departments,
for
example,
on
our
public
safety
side,
our
chief
public
safety
officer.
I
The
city
provides
some
support
for
social
services,
but
for
the
most
part,
this
is
the
role
of
county
and
state
government.
Through
various
programs.
Services
such
as
indigenous
care,
family
services,
juvenile
justice
service
and
affordable
housing
are
primary
responsibilities
of
the
county
for
the
southern
nevada
region.
I
If
you
look
at
this
overall
map
of
the
las
vegas
metropolitan
area,
the
city
of
las
vegas
proper
is
on
the
northwest
quadrant
shown
here
in
yellow.
Although
we
are
the
largest
city
in
the
state,
we
only
make
up
about
28
of
the
entire
metropolitan
population
when
people
think
of
las
vegas,
particularly
from
out
of
state,
they
assume
that
the
las
vegas
strip
and
the
major
metropolitan
areas
within
the
city
limits
when
the
reality
it
is
not.
The
strip
is
really
an
unincorporated
clark
county,
the
city,
southern
jurisdiction.
I
When
we
look
at
the
priorities
that
our
council
set
out
for
us
an
organization
to
focus
on
over
the
next
couple
of
years,
they
included
these
as
their
top
three
priorities:
public
safety,
health
care
and
a
diversified
economy,
public
safety
through
better
interaction
and
investment
into
our
community
health
care
through
accessibility
to
those
services.
Although
we're
not
health
care
providers
and
diversified
economy
by
bringing
new
industries
sectors
to
reduce
our
reliance
on
gaming
and
research
services,.
I
I
But
when
look
where
these
cuts
funds
come
from,
you'll
notice
that
approximately
64
of
revenue
comes
from
two
of
the
most
unstable
revenue
sources,
the
consolidated
tax,
which
is
subject
to
economic
fluctuation
and
consumption
and
the
property
tax,
which
should
just
really
is
one
of
the
most
stable
revenue
sources
for
local
governments
throughout
the
country.
But
it's
become
one
of
the
more
unpredictable
revenue
sources
for
nevada
local
governments
over
the
last
decade,
as
the
results
of
the
abatement
capital
were
required
to
put
in
place
during
the
times
of
very
rapid,
rising
home
values.
I
And
following
our
council
priorities,
you
can
see
that
the
majority
of
the
revenue
goes
toward
providing
public
safety
for
our
community.
This
includes
our
funding
of
the
share
of
the
metropolitan
police
department,
which
serves
both
the
city
of
las
vegas
and
unincorporated
county.
We
fund
about
40
percent
of
this
operation.
I
I
I
understand
there
are
some
inquiries
on
the
state's
application
for
grants
as
potential
funding
supplements.
There
are
some
federal
grants
that
automatically
are
appropriate
to
the
city
because
of
our
population
and
our
size.
These
are
referred
to
as
entitlement
grants
that
include
things
like
cdbg,
which
are
the
community
development
block
grants
and
the
hoplite
funds.
I
I
So
some
of
the
major
challenges
that
we
face
community
in
the
city
of
las
vegas,
specifically,
unlike
our
regional
partners-
we
our
city,
is
landlocked.
We
don't
have
the
ability
to
grow
our
tax
base,
similar
to
some
of
the
other
jurisdictions
in
the
valley
to
the
north.
We
have
the
indian
reservation
and
the
thule
springs.
National
monument
to
our
west
is
the
red
rock
national
conservation
area
to
the
south,
unincorporated
clark
county
and
to
the
east
north
las
vegas.
I
We
are
also
having
an
older
community
because
everything
started
in
the
city
of
las
vegas
and
grew
from
there
to
the
outs
to
the
outskirts.
Our
infrastructure
is
older
and
so
the
cost
to
operate
and
maintain
that
infrastructure
is
higher,
and
then
our
downtown
is
aging,
where
we're
finding.
As
we
try
to
redevelop
our
downtown.
I
We've
seen
the
both
the
shelter
and
sheltered
population
growth
significantly
pre-pandemic,
and
we
anticipate
that's
going
to
grow
even
more.
As
we
see
some
of
these
rental
assistance,
programs
try
to
die
out,
and
so
all
these
challenges
are
example
why
the
city
of
las
vegas
is
a
little
bit
different
than
our
sister
cities
and
why
we,
as
the
city,
really
need
to
develop
a
better,
more
specific
partnership
with
the
state
and
other
organizations
in
different,
more
specific
ways
in
the
future
to
help
address
some
of
these
challenges.
I
We're
requesting
to
amend
the
amount
of
allowable
enemy
fund,
balance
from
the
current
six
point:
seven
percent
to
twenty
five
percent
so
that
it
could
be
sufficiently
reserved
to
address
budgetary
fluctuations,
as
we
saw
both
during
the
pandemic
and
during
the
previous
recession.
We
need
to
have
sufficient
cash
flow
available
to
pay
our
bills.
I
If
revenue
ceases
to
come
in
in
order
to
stay
solvent,
you
saw
that
when
the
order
came
to
close
a
lot
of
our
business,
the
revenue
stream
stopped
for
many
of
our
local
governments,
and
so
the
reserve
is
what
allows
us
to
keep
paying
our
bills
electrical
bill
and
everything
else.
This
will
really
help
our
local
governments
with
the
cash
flow
management.
I
This
will
require
a
different,
more
strategic
focus,
partnership
with
the
state
and
other
public
and
private
entities
that
we
can,
but
it
can
help
all
of
us
be
more
resilient
to
economic
downturns.
This
includes
economic
diversification,
where
we
can
try
to
entice
those
companies
that
are
trying
to
escape
from
higher
call
states
to
move
their
operations
to
this
to
nevada
for
us,
particularly,
it
would
be
more
technically
centric,
since
we
don't
have
large
area
land
population
for
some
of
the
manufacturing
logistics.
I
We
are
currently
building
a
courtyard
to
service
some
of
the
needs
that
are
downtown.
We
share
the
largest
share
of
homeless
population
because
the
service
is
provided
tomorrow,
centered
around
our
downtown,
but
these
homeless
folks
are
really
throughout
our
region
and
so
the
ability
to
create
resource
centers
throughout
the
region
to
make
it
more
convenient
and
more
closer
to
where
the
needs
are
would
benefit.
I
It
starts
with
adequate
funding
for
for
our
school
system
to
really
fight
that,
and
part
of
that
is
access
to
pre-k
for
all
those
that
are
of
better
means
have
the
abilities
in
their
kids
to
pre-k,
but
the
reality.
Some
of
our
underserved
communities
don't
have
that
ability,
and
so
how
do
we
bite
that
pre-k
so
that,
when
kids
do
enter
the
school
system,
they're
better
prepared
to
be
successful?
D
I'm
gonna
unmask
just
so
that
you
can
hear
me
a
little
bit
clearer
good
morning,
chairman
flores
good
morning,
vice
chair
torres
and
all
of
the
members
of
the
government
affairs
committee.
My
name
is
olivia
villas
and
I'm
currently
the
las
vegas
city
councilwoman
for
ward
3
and
I
first
and
foremost
want
to
say
congratulations
to
all
of
you
that
are
up
there
serving
representing
our
state.
D
I
know
that
you
have
a
very
important
role
in
our
state
and
looking
out
for
all
of
our
people,
and
so
I
know
that
this
is
truly
a
labor
of
love,
and
I
appreciate
your
public
service
to
our
entire
state
and
to
all
my
former
colleagues
like
assemblyman,
ellison
and
assemblywoman
dickman
who's
back
and
everyone
else
that
I
I
was
able
to
work
with
up
there.
I
just
want
to
give
my
sincere
salutations.
D
You
know,
I
know
what
it
is
to
be
in
your
shoes.
I
know
the
great
responsibility
it
is
to
set
good
policy
for
our
state,
because
now
that
I'm
in
this
role,
a
lot
of
what
we're
able
to
do
or
not
do
is
sometimes
dictated
by
you
and
the
flexibility
or
lack
thereof,
is
sometimes
determined
by
what
you
set
in
policy.
D
But
that's
why?
I
don't
take
your
role
lightly,
and
I
know
that
you
are
so
important
in
making
sure
that,
in
my
role
as
a
councilwoman,
I
have
direct
contact
everyday
grassroots
with
my
residents
and
some
of
them,
some
of
which
are
shared
constituents
with
you
all
so
know
that
I
take
my
job
very
seriously.
D
I
know
I
was
going
to
be
facing
a
pandemic
when
I
ran
to
become
a
city
council,
member
and
all
the
challenges
that
would
not
just
you
know,
confront
everybody,
but
you
know
local
government
is
where
the
rubber
meets
the
road
we
really
are
hearing
from
folks
and
how
their
lives
are
being
impacted
day
by
day,
whether
they're
calling
about
homeless
encampments
that
are
all
in
their
parks
or
around
where
they
live
or
they're,
calling
us
about
maintenance
issues
or
roadway
projects
that
are
impeding
access
to
their
businesses
or
they're.
Asking
questions
about.
D
Where
is
much
needed
assistance
during
this
pandemic?
We
are
here
24
7,
to
make
sure
that
we
are
at
their
service
and
we're
trying
to
get
them
the
information.
If
it's
not
us,
we
try
to
triage
that
and
make
sure
that
they
get
what
they
need
so
know
that
we're
working
our
hardest
these
times
have
been
challenging
and
making
sure
that
we
are
reaching
out
to
all
of
our
community
informing
them
of
the
covid
protocols
of
setting
up
test
sites
we're
partnering
with
the
county.
D
I
work
very
well
with
my
county
counterparts
and
I
have
partnered
with
commissioner
kirkpatrick
commissioner
sagerbloom
commissioner
mccurdy.
I'm
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
are
stronger
together
right,
we're
one
southern
nevada
region
and
we
need
to
really
collaborate
and
foster
that
spirit
of
cooperation
so
that
we
can
move
the
needle
forward
for
our
community
and
for
those
of
you
that
know,
I'm
I'm
a
teacher
at
heart.
D
Obviously,
when
jorge
was
speaking
to
pre-k
for
all
know
that
we
are
doing
our
part
to
move
the
needle
forward
on
so
many
other
areas,
we
are
building
a
pre-k
center
in
ward
3
right
across
from
the
library
we're
looking
to
bring
fqhc
as
part
of
the
services
that
are
kind
of
offered
out
of
that
structure.
And
so,
when
we
looked
at
the
priorities
that
we
wanted
to
work
on
as
a
city
council,
public
safety,
health
care
diversifying
our
economy.
D
These
were
all
driven
by
input
that
we
receive
from
our
constituency
and
our
residents
and
also
what
we
know.
We
need
to
continue
to
thrive
and
provide
these
very
fundamental
services
to
our
community.
So
again,
I'm
super
thankful
that
we
have
you
as
our
leaders.
We
know
that
you
guys
have
a
challenging
session
ahead
of
you.
Please
feel
free
to
contact
me
at
any
moment
to
ask
about
anything
and
just
know
that,
right
now
with
the
vaccination
efforts,
we
are
also
playing
a
part
just
so
that
you
know
a
lot
of
our
city
employees.
D
Job
descriptions
have
had
to
be
very
flexible.
During
these
times
we
had
to
deploy
people
to
work,
our
isoq
unit,
which
was
the
major
health
and
housing
support
for
homeless,
who
contracted
covet
19.
We
had
to
take
some
of
our
staff
and
redeploy
them
to
be
business
ambassadors
and
go
check
in
and
make
sure
that
people
were
ensuring
their
customers
were
wearing
their
mask
when
they
frequented
their
businesses,
we're
keeping
to
the
protocols
and
we've
just
been
very,
very
fluid
and
having
to
change
our
trajectory
depending
on
what
we
need
to
support.
D
That's
coming
coming
from
our
governor
or
coming
from
you,
we
are
just
trying
to
be
as
responsive
as
possible
in
any
fashion,
shape
or
form.
So
now
I'm
pleased
to
announce
to
you
that
we
are
bringing
a
vaccination
site
to
ward
3
next
week
we
will
have
at
least
over
3
000
vaccinations
offered
over
three
days,
and
I'm
excited
that
it's
coming
to
be
in
the
east
side,
where
people
can
have
easier
access
to
them,
and
so
with
that,
I
again
applaud
you
for
your
work.
D
A
Thank
you
councilwoman
and
welcome
home,
it's
great
seeing
you
even
if
it's
just
virtually
it's
my
understanding,
mr
jorge
cervantes,
that
I
believe
you're
the
first
latino
to
hold
the
the
role
of
city
manager
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
I
try
to
congratulate
you
and
wish
you
all
a
success
work
hard.
A
We
do
have
several
questions
and
we'll
start
off
with
assemblywoman
dickman.
Please.
J
Thank
you
so
much
chairman.
I
actually
don't
have
a
question.
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
but
I
really
wanted
to
say
hi
to.
C
D
I
miss
you
all
too.
This
moment
is
a
little
nostalgic
for
me
and
I
I
miss.
I
miss
the
the
good
work
we
do
in
carson
city,
but
I'm
equally
needed
here
in
las
vegas
and
I
like
to
be
an
extension
of
the
good
work.
You
guys
do
so.
Thank
you
so
much
and
it's
good
to
see
you
back
there
assemblywoman.
C
Good
morning,
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
I
have
a
quick
question.
Well,
actually,
I've
got
two
or
three
questions.
Excuse
me
about
the
homeless
information
that
you
presented.
I,
I
did
not
write
down.
The
slide
number
excuse
me,
but
it
seems
to
be
growing
by
20
just
from
the
2019.
C
Are
there
specific
ages
and
by
the
way
I've
got
two
other
questions
after
this,
but
I'll
try
to
make
them
really
quick.
Are
they
growing
by
specific
ages
or
is
it
specific
areas
where
you're,
seeing
that
homeless
numbers
going
up.
I
Well,
it's
both
really
we're
seeing
younger
folks
out
there
than
we
were
before,
but
we're
also
seeing
a
lot
of
families
and
part
of
it
is
that
folks
have
lost
their
ability
to
stay
in
their
home.
We're
seeing
families
come
out.
Part
of
our
response
to
that
is.
We
actually
opened
a
respite
center
in
one
of
our
buildings
to
be
able
to
house
families,
because
the
courtyard
is
not
really
where
you
want
to
have
families
with
little
kids,
and
so
we
put
them
there
and
we're
seeing
a
different
population
of
homeless
than
we
had
before.
I
We
get
to
know
our
homes
pretty
well,
because
we
provided
service.
So
we
know
what
some
of
the
needs
are,
but
we're
seeing
different
folks
out
there
we're
seeing
a
more
aggressive
type
of
population
out
there
and
we're
seeing
areas,
particularly
we're
in
canvas
we're
having
happening
in
some
of
our
drainage
facilities.
Some
are
drainage
boxes
where
it's
really
very
harmful
because
a
lot
of
crime
occurring
down
there,
there's
gangs
that
take
over
that
homeless
population
and
try
to
control
and
extort
the
other
folks
there,
and
so
during
the
pandemic
itself.
I
The
cdc
guidelines
originally
were
to
not
to
try
to
disperse
those
so
that
they
wouldn't
be
out
in
the
population
potentially
dispersing
the
virus,
as
more
information
was
learned
and
we
actually
went
out
there
and
tested
some
of
these
sites.
What
we
found,
interestingly
enough,
is
that
the
homeless
population
had
a
lower
percentage
of
infection
in
the
general
population,
which
would
surprise
us.
You
would
anticipate
that
these
folks
have
a
lower
immune
system
would
get
sick
easier.
I
D
And
then
I'll,
just
chime
in,
I
just
had
my
briefing
through
our
office,
the
community
service,
which
is
the
group
that
leads
the
efforts
on
the
homeless
front
here
for
us
of
the
city,
and
I
was
hearing
from
our
director
kathy
thomas
gibson,
that
we're
seeing
an
increase
of
drug
addicted
homelessness
and
also
mental
health,
so
we're
seeing
an
increase
in
those
populations.
D
I
also
wanted
to
inform
you
about
our
more
team
and
our
more
team
is
made
up
of
a
lot
of
individuals
that
work,
the
nonprofit
homeless
sector
and
a
city
marshal
and
someone
from
our
office
community
services
and
we
go
and
when
we're
clearing
encampments,
we're
doing
it
for
public
safety
reasons,
but
we
also
do
it
in
a
way
that
we
are
honestly
offering
them
the
services
that
are
available
to
them.
So
we'll
go
to
them
before
we
clear
with
the
more
team
and
we'll
triage
and
say
we
have
these
services.
D
These
are
the
services
that
are
ready
for
you,
but
obviously
it's
up
to
the
homeless
population
to
accept
or
decline,
and
so
obviously,
if
you're
drug
addicted
or
if
you're
not
mentally
stable,
then
it's
harder
for
you
to
make
that
step
and
accept
the
help
that's
being
offered.
So
just
know
that
you
know
we
we've
developed
five
teams
that
we're
trying
to
deploy
in
our
six
wards,
because
the
population
is
increasing
significantly
since
the
pandemic.
C
Well-
and
it
saddens
me
that
you
had
to
bring
up
the
information
about
the
encampments,
because
that
was
going
to
be
something
that
I
was
also
going
to
ask
about
as
to
why
some
of
those
encampments,
even
though
cbc
says
one
thing
they
were
being,
they
were
being
treated
in
that
fashion
and
then
also
there's
some
that
are
asking
me
or
I've
received.
Some
information
are
people
that
are
homeless.
Are
they
also
being
charged
with
criminal
activity
in
different
ways?
I
understand
about
the
drugs.
C
That's
that's
a
different
issue,
but
just
because
they're
being
homeless,
there's
some
that
that
are
under
the
impression
that
there
are
also
some
criminal
activities
that
are
being
charged
with
for
individuals.
Is
that
accurate
or
what?
How
is
that
working
out?
And
if
that's
a
little
bit
more
of
an
in-depth
question
that
we
need
to
take
offline?
I'm
more
than
happy
to
to
continue
this
conversation
offline.
I
Yeah,
this
is
focused
about
this
for
the
record:
no
we're
not
charging
for
criminal
activity;
on
the
contrary,
we're
trying
to
help
them
out
one
of
the
things
that
we're
working
on
is.
Is
there
ways
to
clear
the
records
bunch
of
records
of
folks
that
may
have
had
past
criminal
records
that
that
could
put
them
at
risk?
What
we
don't
want
to
do
is
start
housing
folks
in
our
jails
that
doesn't
benefit
anybody.
C
I
I
would
like
to
have
that
discussion
if
we
could
at
some
point
I
understand
that
you're
a
very
busy
person,
so
I
really
appreciate
that
information.
I
it's
it's
sad
to
hear
or
it's
our
reality
right
now
of
how
many
of
our
families
are
becoming
homeless
across
our
state.
So
that's
one
reason
why
I
wanted
to
ask
about
that.
Thank
you
and
I
look
forward
to
having
more
discussions
with
you
all
about
this
issue.
A
Thank
you
assemblywoman.
Next,
I'd
like
to
go
to
assemblywomancon
tonight.
J
J
I
I
could
not
miss
that
more
than
two-thirds
of
the
expenditures
are
in
public
safety,
and
I
know
that
includes
fire
and
rescue.
You
mentioned
that
forty
percent
of
the
of
metro
is
funded
through
that
fire
marshal,
and
you
said
the
court
system,
but
also
on
this
pie,
chart
there's
a
separate
section
for
judicial.
So
I'm
wondering
if
you
can
explain
if
that's
the
city
of
las
vegas
and
then
when
you
refer
to
the
court,
that
means
like
a
percentage
of
the
the
county
court.
If
you
can
kind
of
break
that
down.
J
I
Thank
you
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
that.
I
misspoke
you're,
correct.
The
judicial
system
comes
out
of
that.
The
public
safety
is
for
the
metro,
our
share
for
metro,
it's
our
fire
department,
it's
our
city,
marshals,
it's
our
running,
our
our
our
jail,
our
correction
officers
and
then
there's
other
functions
that
are
done
as
the
city
that
are
considered,
public
safety
and
and
those
are
more
support
systems
for
for
the
public
safety
field.
You're
correct,
I
was
mistaken.
The
judicial
system
is
a
separate
pie
out
of
that.
J
That's
okay!
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
it
if
I
could
get
or
if
you
could
send
a
breakdown
of
what
those
are.
One
of
the
things
that
I'm
appreciating
during
all
of
these
presentations
is
the
ability
to
sort
of
compare
how
different
cities
and
different
counties
are:
are
spending
their
money
expenditures
and
what's
coming
in?
Which
brings
me
to
my
second
question:
if
I
may,
mr
chair.
J
Thank
you.
We've
also
been
seeing
a
lot
of
the
presentations.
The
breakdowns
for
the
cares
act
money.
So
if
you
could
maybe
go
over
or
provide
a
breakdown
of
the
karzak
money
that
was
received
by
the
city
and
then
how
it
was
spent.
I
Certainly,
I'd
be
glad
to
send
that
to
you
and
pretend
that
breakdown
that'll
show
specifically
where
each
dollar
went.
As
you
know,
there's
an
additional
allocation
that
just
got
sent
out
recently
to
help
with
some
of
the
rental
assistance
program
and
that
portion
we're
actually
partnering
with
the
county.
All
the
jurisdictions
start
to
combine
it
all
into
one
pot
versus
each
jurisdiction
handed
it
out.
It
just
makes
it
easier
for
folks
out
there
having
the
need
to
know
to
go
to
one
central
place
versus
trying
to
go
to
different
ones.
I
A
And
mr
cervantes
and
actually
to
all
of
you,
I
would
prefer
that
use
I
mean
you
can
send
it
directly
to
her
also,
but
please
send
it
to
either
our
committee
manager,
mrs
bishop
or
mr
mcdonald,
and
then
I
can
make
sure
that
every
member
gets
all
that
information.
Thank
you
next
week.
Excuse
me.
I.
A
Oh,
thank
you,
mr
cervantes.
Next
we
have
madame
vice
chair.
D
Thank
you
chair
and
thank
you
to
the
members
of
the
city
of
las
vegas
for
your
presentation.
I
do
appreciate
it
and
it's
always
good
to
see
you
councilwoman
diaz.
I
know
that
we
worked
closely
together
for
a
number
of
different
efforts
throughout
the
pandemic.
So
I
really
appreciate
the
work
that
the
city
of
las
vegas
and
your
team
has
done.
I
was
hoping
that
you
could
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
role
the
city
has
played
in
getting
information
out
to
diverse
communities.
D
I
know
that
there's
been
a
lot
of
efforts
specifically
to
get
information
out
in
spanish
and
what
some
of
those
barriers
have
been,
and
I
don't
think
that
the
responsibility
falls
completely
in
the
city,
but
I
just
want
to
have
an
understanding
of
the
barriers
that
we've
had
in
getting
that
information
checked.
D
Thank
you.
This
is
city
councilman,
olivia
diaz
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
that
question.
Vice
chairwoman
and
yes,
we
have
a
ways
to
go
still
in
the
region,
I'm
just
say
the
southern
nevada
region
in
terms
of
providing
diverse
literature,
information
in
many
languages.
You
know,
I
think
the
census
will
shed
light
that
the
latino
hispanic
population
in
southern
nevada
is
probably
approaching
30
if
not
over,
and
we
need
to
ensure
that
all
of
our
communities
have
the
information
right.
D
And
so,
if
the
language
majority
community
is
going
without
the
information
in
spanish-
and
I
used
to
make
this
a
point
when
I
sat
on
ways
and
means-
and
I
would
ask
the
directors
in
the
state
for
them
to
make
the
websites
all
into
spanish
accessible
all
of
the
processes
spanish
accessible.
D
So
I
just
feel
like
wherever
we
can
continue
to
make
the
advocacy
like
at
a
local
level
with
our
school
districts
here
within
the
city
in
the
county.
How
can
we
make
sure
that
our
channels,
the
communications,
are
up
to
date
and
aren't
up
to
speed
because,
as
you
well
know,
probably
my
city
ward
is
70
latino,
and
so,
if
we're
not
communicating
the
information
in
a
way
that
they
can
internalize
it,
then
we're
not
going
to
do
much
to
help
them
know
what
resources
are
available
to
them.
D
And
so
my
office
has
been
instrumental
in
helping
me
ensure
that
we're
sending
bilingual
communication
that
we're
translating
all
of
the
flyers
that
I
have
staff
that
can
answer
our
folks
in
spanish,
because
I
think
that
that's
so
important
in
making
sure
that
we
are
inclusive
and
that
we
are
looking
out
for
everybody
and
that
we're
getting
the
information.
And
then
some
of
our
governmental
processes
are
not
known
right.
Then.
D
D
D
How
do
we
do
a
better
job
at
bridging
that
gap
and
doing
the
outreach
and
just
being
more
inclusive
and
seeing
things
from
a
not
so
traditional
point
of
view
that
it's
something
that's
known,
because
it's
not
known
across
the
board
and
we
need
to
continue
to
do
a
better
job.
And
so
I
I
look
forward
to
more
opportunities,
even
within
our
city
and
setting
up
structures
where
we're
blasting
out
more
information
and
different
platforms.
That
are,
you
know
recognizing
that
we
need
to
do
it
in
multi
languages.
D
Can
you
explain
if
what
role,
if
any
role
the
office
of
new
americans,
the
governor's
office-
and
you
know,
members
of
the
executive
have
played
in
helping
disseminate
this
information
in
spanish?
D
Oh
yeah,
they've,
been
on
our
task
force,
calls
that
we've
been
having
collectively
with
county
nonprofits
hispanic
stakeholders
that
are
part
of
our
group
and
pushing
all
of
our
initiatives
from
estan
tusmanos.
D
Now
it's
shifting
gears
to
the
vaccination
efforts
and
they
have
been
very
instrumental
and
helpful
in
really
giving
us
that
perspective
from
a
refugee
standpoint.
So
you
know
right
now,
I'm
speaking
from
the
spanish.
D
You
know
interpretation
and
translation
of
things,
but
there's
so
many
refugees
that
come
from
so
many
other
parts
of
the
world
that,
if
I
put
myself
in
their
shoes-
and
I
knew
nothing
like
this
system
where
I
came
from
how
totally
lost
I
may
be-
if
I
don't
I'm,
not
given
a
frame
of
reference
or
a
language
line
or
an
interpreter
or
someone
to
facilitate
the
information
too.
D
So
a
lot
of
them
have
to
rely
on
those
refugee
case
workers
to
help
them
maneuver
and
understand
the
processes
that
are
free
accessible
to
everyone
and
just
making
sure
that
they
know
that
they
they
have
a
seat
at
the
table
and
that
the
the
testing
sites,
the
vaccination
sites
and
some
of
these
benefits
are
are
made
available
to
everyone.
So
they
have
been
very,
very
a
great
asset
to
our
work
in
the
space.
F
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
appreciate
it
and
miss
diaz
if,
if
you
have
the
impact
on
las
vegas,
as
you
did
at
this
building,
you'll
do
a
great
job,
and
I
I
speak
that
from
my
heart,
but
I
do
have
a
question
for
you
also
or
for
the
staff
I
mean
with
what's
going
on
in
in
the
impact
back
on
las
vegas,
some
of
the
friends
that
I
hear
down
there
that
are
really
worried.
Do
you
think
you
could
pull
this
thing
out
and
get
vegas
back
to
where
vegas
was
or
how?
F
Many
years
you
think
this
is
going
to
take
this
been
a
disaster
for
southern
nevada?
Can
you
comment
on
that.
D
Well,
I'll
just
preface
and
then
I'll,
let
our
city
manager
really
speak
to
it
because
he's
dealt
with
the
downturn
in
our
economy
before
obviously
not
to
the
degree
that
this
pandemic-
and
this
is
again
councilwoman,
olivia
record
and
assemblyman.
Oh,
listen,
I'm
so
happy
to
see
you
there.
I
was
telling
them.
We
were
part
of
the
same
freshman
class
and
I'm
glad
that
you're
still
there
representing
your
community,
it's
going
to
be
difficult.
D
However,
I
think
las
vegas
has
always
been
a
place
where
people
want
to
come
and
visit
we're
doing
our
best
to
diversify
our
offerings
to
be
different
to
be
unique.
We
just
had
circa
open
at
the
end
of
last
year
and
they
continued
to
build
circa
and
it
was
the
first
casino
to
be
built
from
nothing
to
an
amazing
resort
during
the
pandemic.
D
So
that
has
been
very
that's
been
best
and
a
hope
for
me
and
then
we're
also
doing
amazing
work
in
the
arts
district
and
downtown
in
my
ward,
and
I
know
that
it
has
gained
a
lot
of
attraction
and
popularity
across
the
nation
and
a
lot
of
people
are
coming
to
vegas
and
wanting
to
just
visit
that
so
we're
doing
everything
we
can
from
an
economic
development
perspective
to
drive
that
tourism
back
when
they
are
ready
to
come
back
right.
D
It
has
been
difficult
with
the
constraints
within
which
the
business
operations
have
had
to
stay
open,
but
we
are
optimistic
that
we
will
get
back
to
those
times
and
and
that's
why
I
think,
when
we
talked
about
how
we
get
funded
as
a
city,
our
revenue
streams-
that's
what's,
may
impede
some
of
our
progress
at
a
faster
rate
for
our
communities
locally,
because
if
we
don't
have
that
sea
tax
coming
in
as
we
normally
need
to
that
can
hinder
our
ability
to
make
progress
for
our
people,
but
I'll.
I
Against
women
for
the
record
horses
about
this
assemblyman
ellison,
you
know
it's
a
good
question
and
we
hired
not
just
local
economists,
but
we
even
hired
back
in
november
a
national
economy.
So
you
want
to
see
not
just
what
our
folks
internal
looking
before.
But
what
is
the
outside
economist
that
have
a
better
feel
for
the
nation
telling
us
and
seeing
what
they're,
seeing
what
we're
seeing
assemblyman
is
that
las
vegas
will
come
back.
I
It's
just
a
matter
of
when
what
is
that
timeline,
and
some
of
the
things
that
economists
are
telling
us
is
that
looking
toward
the
second
half
of
this
year
of
seeing
some
pretty
good
progressive
upward
movement
as
the
distribution
of
vaccine
gets
out
further
as
people
as
a
cat's
woman
status,
people
feel
comfortable
getting
on
a
plane
and
traveling
that's
going
to
make
a
big
difference
and,
as
we
have
the
opportunity
to
bring
conventions
back,
conventions
make
a
good
percentage
of
folks
that
come
down
here.
I
I
Tourism
to
come
in
and
occupy
those
rooms,
and
so
we're
thinking
toward
the
end
of
this
calendar
year,
we'll
see
a
start
trending
up,
but
really
next
year
is
when
all
the
economists
are
projecting
that
we
should
be
at
a
pretty
good
place.
Some
of
the
numbers
that
we're
seeing
today
are
kind
of
pointing
that
direction,
and
so
we're
hopeful
that
that's
true,
I
I
personally,
I
believe
we
will
come
back.
I
It's
just
a
matter
of
that
timing,
and
so
the
distribution
of
vaccine
is
really
helping
that
the
sooner
we
get
folks
feeling
safe
and
wanting
to
come
up.
It's
going
to
help
what
we
do.
What
we
do
know
we
see
from
all
the
studies
is:
there's
a
big
bent
up
demand
out.
There
folks
are
tired,
being
locked
up
at
home;
they
want
to
get
out,
they
want
to
travel,
they
want
to
get
away
it's
just
when
do
they
feel
comfortable
doing
it,
and
so
because
last
year,
there's
very
little
travel.
F
D
And
mr
terrified
me
as
I'm
living
ellison,
do
I
have
an
invitation
to
visit
you
and
alcohol.
J
F
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
good
question,
and
thank
you
all
for
for
being
with
us
here
today.
I
just
wanted
to
ask
about
something
that
I
hear
a
lot
from
from
local
officials,
especially
in
las
vegas.
You
know
where
my
district
is
kind
of
some
frustration
about
quality
of
communication
coming
from
the
state
as
the
pandemic
rules
and
restrictions
and
decisions
are
made.
Has
that
improved?
F
Are
you
all
at
the
local
level,
you
feel
like
you're,
getting
better
information,
better
communication
from
the
state
about
you
know
the
decisions
being
made
and
how
it's
going
to
impact
all
of
you.
Thank
you.
I
So
we
are
let's
talk
about
this
for
the
record.
We
participate
we're
part
of
the
regional
task
force.
That's
trying
to
deal
with
pandemic
chairwoman,
kirkpatrick
with
clark
county
was
designated
as
as
the
person
to
lead
that
effort
by
the
governor
for
the
south,
and
we
have
a
regional
call
every
monday
afternoon
to
coordinate
items.
She
has
almost
daily
calls
up
with
the
state,
whether
it's
the
governor's
office
or
some
of
the
other
folks
that
are
working
on
on
this
emergency.
I
So
she
relates
information
to
us
that
we
in
turn
can
take
proper
action,
so
we're
very
comfortable.
We
think
there
is
good
communication
going
on
so
there's
always
opportunities
to
have
better
communication,
but
we
think
there
is
good
communication
in
addition
to
that.
One
regional
group,
sub
groups
that
are
more
specific,
there's
groups
that
meet
on
thursdays
that
are
more
dealing
with
some
of
the
enforcement.
How
do
we
go
out
there
and
try
to
get
folks
to
make
sure
they're
wearing
their
mask
and
some
action
they
can
take?
I
And
there's
folks
that
are
on
the
emergency
management
side
that
are
managing
some
of
the
mass
vaccination
centers
or
the
smaller
vaccination,
centers
and
and
the
inflow
of
vaccines.
So
we
have
those
subgroups
that
talk
once
a
week
and
keep
that
communication
going.
And
so
we
think
there
is
pretty
good
communication,
but
so
there's
always
an
opportunity
to
do
better.
D
Yeah
and
just
to
add
to
that,
I
can
vouch
for
this
is
a
councilwoman
olivia
diaz
for
the
record,
what
our
city
manager
just
referenced
about
those
weekly
calls
with
regional
electives.
I've
been
personally
on
some
of
those
calls
and
we
do
get
the
information
through
the
chairwoman
of
the
clark
county
commission
about
where
we're
heading
where
we're
going
and
then
we
try
to
make
sure
that
we're
all
coordinating
efforts
at
a
regional
level.
So
I
can
attest
to
that.
A
Seeing
none
again
thank
you
for
coming
before
our
committee
and
as
always,
this
is
the
beginning
of
the
conversation
for
this
session.
I
look
forward
to
working
alongside
all
of
you
and
this
is
your
committee.
You
always
have
an
open
door
here.
So
thank
you
again
for
your
work.
I
know
we
got
a
lot
to
do,
but
I
appreciate
that
we're
heading
in
the
right
direction.
A
With
that
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
close
out.
The
hearing.
Excuse
me
the
presentation
by
the
city
of
las
vegas
and
I'd
like
to
now
open
up
the
bill
presentation
on
assembly
bill
3.,
mr
harper,
whenever
you're
ready.
G
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Madame
vice
chair,
esteemed
members
of
of
the
committee,
starting
with
ab3,
thank
you
for
your
attention.
Ab3
as
a
summary
authorizes,
the
use
of
electronic
maps,
the
land
use,
planning
and
development.
In
order
to
improve
the
proficiency
of
the
development
and
redevelopment
process,
it
will
create
more
predictable
and
efficient
timelines,
which
will
reduce
delays,
cost
and
waste.
G
It
also
allows
electronic
documents
to
become
clearer
during
covert
and
further.
This
bill
is
only
an
authorization,
and
this
is
a
permissive
action.
This
is
not
a
requirement,
so
counties
and
planning
departments
that
choose
to
utilize
electronic
maps.
This
bill
provides
them
the
opportunity
to
do
so,
but
does
not
create
the
mandate
to
do
so.
G
I
want
to
introduce
my
co-presenters
my
code,
the
people
that
are
working
with
me
on
presenting
this
bill.
Just
to
give
you
a
little
background.
G
This
bill
came
to
us
from
the
city
of
reno
city
of
reno,
presented
this
bill.
The
idea
for
this
bill
to
the
league,
which
we
then
presented
to
our
full
membership
full
membership,
decided
that
it
would
be
a
benefit
to
all
municipalities,
which
is
why
we
took
the
bill
and
print
and
and
offered
it
to
the
legislature.
G
So
as
part
of
that,
the
city
of
reno
has
representatives
that
are
here
with
me
today.
In
order
to
help
answer
any
questions
and
provide
additional
contacts,
we
have
kelly
wilsey.
She
is
the
senior
management
analysis
for
intergovernmental
relations
she's
in
the
city
manager's
office
for
the
city
of
reno.
We
also
have
angela
fuss.
She
is
the
acting
community
development
director
also
for
the
city
of
reno,
and
we
have
jeff
fortu
porker.
He
is
the
planning
manager
again
for
the
city
of
reno.
G
G
E
Of
course,
thank
you
wesley
chair
floors
and
members
of
the
committee.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
be
here
today
and
be
a
part
of
this
hearing
for
the
record
callie
wilsey
senior
management
analyst
with
the
city
of
reno.
We
brought
this
concept
forward
to
the
league
after
we
had
conversations
with
a
bunch
of
representatives
from
the
private
building
and
construction
industries,
and
we
really
realized
that
there
was
a
question
about
whether
land
use,
planning
and
development
maps
could
be
submitted
electronically.
E
So
this
bill
is
just
intended
to
really
kind
of
clean
up
that
gray
area.
It
authorizes
the
electronic
submission
of
the
maps
acceptance
situations
if
the
process
is
not
if
the
county
recorder
is
working
to
record
one
of
these
documents
and
that
process
doesn't
exist.
Yet
there
is
an
exception
for
that.
I
think
that
that's
just
a
really
important
part
of
this
bill.
It's
it's
permissive,
not
a
requirement.
E
As
mr
harper
stated,
it's
really
intended
to
just
clearly
state
and
law
that,
yes,
this
is
allowed
and
then
that
enables
local
governments
to
work
together
with
all
their
partners,
both
public
and
private,
to
come
up
with
a
seamless
administrative
process
that
will
be
more
efficient
for
everybody.
It
allows
the
local
agencies
that
flexibility
determine
if
and
when,
to
move
forward
with
the
electronic
process.
E
In
addition
to
discussions
with
those
in
the
planning
and
building
and
construction
trades,
we
had
a
really
great
productive
conversation
with
several
county
reporters
earlier
this
week.
They
raised
some
concerns
about
some
of
the
language
and
how
it
would
impact
their
processes
and
we're
working
with
those
county
reporters
on
a
friendly
amendment
to
fix
those
technical
issues
that
we
have.
They
are
certainly
very
important
to
this
process
and
we
want
to
work
collaboratively
with
them
to
make
sure
that
it
that
this
will
work
across
the
state
for
the
various
agencies.
E
As
mr
harper
mentioned,
I'm
also
joined
today
by
city
of
reno
planning,
planning
manager,
jeff
borkhart,
if
there's
any
kind
of
technical
questions
about
the
process.
So
mr
chair,
we're
happy
to
answer
your
and
members
of
the
committee's
question.
A
Thank
you
again
for
for
that
walk
through.
I
know
we
we
still
may
have
a
couple
of
questions
here,
but
again
I
appreciate
the
approach
and
hopefully
we'll
make
it
a
lot
more
efficient
at
this
time.
Members
I'd
like
to
open
it
up
for.
A
Questions,
madam
vice
chair,
please.
D
Thank
you
chair
and
thank
you,
mr
harper,
and
miss
well
see
for
your
presentation.
I
really
do
appreciate
it,
and
so
I
do
have
a
question
about
section:
1,
subsection
3,
I'm
just
wondering
if
the
locked
software
is
easy
to
access
and
available
at
a
reasonable
cost
to
an
average.
D
G
This
is
wesley
harper,
the
executive
director
of
nevada
league
of
cities.
For
the
record,
I
don't
have
the
specific
answer
to
that
question.
I'm
wondering
if
mr
burkhart
or
perhaps
miss
fuss
may
have
that
information.
F
K
Jeff
borkard
for
the
record,
there's
a
number
of
different
softwares
that
you
can
use
the
right
now.
Nrs
allows
for
engineers
surveyors
to
lock
their
stamps,
so
that's
already
allowed.
K
This
would
allow
for
electronic
signatures.
So
there
are
systems
like
docusign
or
adobe,
sign
or
various
different
things
that
that
people
use
on
a
regular
basis
to
allow
for
electronic
signatures
with
encryption
so
that
it
is
secure.
This
bill
does
not
specifically
delineate
what
program
to
use,
and
so
what
it
does
is
it
allows
for
each
area
to
determine
what
would
work
for
them,
and
then
we
could
determine
how
that
would
be
impacted
on
a
cost
standpoint
locally,
rather
than
at
the
state
level.
D
B
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
couple
of
comments.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
in
the
real
estate
industry.
We
can
do
virtually
everything
in
the
sale
and
purchase
of
a
home
virtually
with
the
exception.
I
think,
of
signing
loan
documents
which
have
to
actually
be
physical,
wet
signatures,
maybe
notarizations,
but
I
can
literally
never
meet
a
client.
I
can
show
a
home
with
my
phone.
B
It's
a
it's
good
for
the
environment,
we're
saving
paper
and
then
I
think
it's
good
for
customer
service.
It's
helping
these
people
that
want
to
do
business,
get
things
done
faster
and
more
efficiently.
So
I
think
this
is
a
great
thing
to
institute
or
implement,
and
I
hope
that
all
of
our
cities
and
counties
start
doing.
B
A
J
G
Thank
you
for
your
question
assembly
assemblywoman.
This
is
wesley
harper
for
the
record
I'll
start,
and
then
I
will
ask
cali
to
join
what
we
are.
G
What
what
this
legislation
this
this
proposed
legislation
is
attempting
to
do
is
is
clear,
the
way
for
counties
and
planners
and
and
builders,
to
move
in
the
direction
of
this,
this
technology
and
this
capability,
and
in
our
conversation
with
some
of
the
county's
recorders,
they
made
it
clear
that
not
all
counties
were
in
the
same
place
as
far
as
personnel
or
capability
or
equipment
to
take
advantage
of
it
now,
but
I'll
acknowledge
that
a
couple
things
may
be
important:
one
to
create
a
a
consistent
standard
across
the
state
and
two
to
begin
to
move
in
the
direction
for
the
efficiencies
that
this
provides.
G
E
Callie
wilson,
for
the
record,
I
would
echo
mr
harper
and-
and
I
would
also
add
that,
while
the
the
bill
doesn't
necessarily
require
a
standard
procedure
or
lay
it
out,
I
think
local
governments
are.
We
all
try
to
work
really
hard
to
make
our
procedures
as
best.
We
can
kind
of
seamless,
and
we
work
well
together
to
share
information
and
understand
how
each
other's
procedures
work
to
kind
of
help.
Make
sure
that
the
invisible
lines
before
before
jurisdictions
for
our
customers
can
don't
exist.
E
C
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
I
have
a
similar
line
of
questioning
that
had
to
do
with
the
process,
so
I
was
very
happy
to
hear
that
the
local
governments
are
probably
going
to
work
together
on
having
a
seamless
procedures,
and
I
also
wanted
to
echo
how
much
I
appreciated
meeting
with
mr
harper
the
other
day,
so
just
to
make
sure
I've
got
that
right
under
section
1.5.
C
Those
procedures
will
be
kind
of
figured
out
before
the
agreement
is
that
are
like.
Will
it
be
listed
out
so
that
way
nobody
is
shocked
if
all
of
a
sudden
on
a
wednesday
it
becomes?
Oh,
you
can
just
do
this
electronically,
but
on
a
thursday
it's
different.
This
is
permissive,
and
so
getting
those
procedures
figured
out
early.
Will
that
be
given
to
the
people
when
they
start
to
apply
for
these
items,
or
is
it
too
early
to
tell
what
that
procedure
will
be.
G
Thank
you
for
your
question,
assemblywoman
anderson,
again
wesley
harper
for
the
record
and,
yes,
I
did
enjoy
the
opportunity
to
meet
with
you.
You
were
actually
the
first
meeting
that
I
had
with
the
committee,
so
thank
you
very
much
so
with
resp
respect,
respect
to
section
1.5
and
and
the
procedures
that
counties
will
follow
and
then,
after
I
finish
miss
wilson.
If
you
would
like
to
please,
I
invite
you
to
to
follow
my
comments.
G
G
So
again,
what
what
we
are
looking
to
do
is
clear
the
space
but
not
get
into
the
procedures,
because
it
is
our
belief
that
each
county
best
knows
how
to
make
their
process
most
efficient,
given
the
volume
of
applications
that
they
have
and
the
equipment
and
staff
that
they
have
to
to
process
them.
Miss
wilson.
E
Kelly,
we'll
see
for
the
record.
The
only
thing
I
would
add
to
mr
harper's
comments
is
the
development
of
this
type
of
process
will
not
at
the
local
level
will
not
be
something
that
can
just
be
kind
of
turned
on
overnight.
There
will
have
to
be
a
lot
of
conversations
to
make
all
of
the
different
moving
pieces
work
together
to
create
kind
of
the
ultimate
goal
of
a
really
efficient
process,
reducing
waste
and
high
levels
of
customer
service.
E
F
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
so
for
the
such
wonderful
gift.
In
the
note,
I
appreciate
that,
for
valentine's
day,
sir,
I
I
talked
to
you
yesterday
about
the
wet
stamp
and-
and
I
heard
part
of
the
process
just
now,
but
isn't
the
the
final
process
for
the
filing
of
that
doesn't
the
original
wit
stamp
have
to
be
on
file?
Could
you
you
hit
that?
I
know
if
you're
you're
going
to
go
ahead
and
file,
you
can
do
that
with
the
stamp,
but
that's
still
not
the
final
document.
G
Hello
wesley
harper
for
the
record.
Thank
you,
assemblyman
ellison,
for
your
question.
I
actually
gave
that
question
to
mr
burkhart
for
his
thoughts
on
the
matter.
So
I
turn
I
turn
this
over
to
him.
Mr
burkhart.
K
Thank
you,
jeff
burkhart,
for
the
record,
so
right
now,
the
actual
stamp
itself
can
actually
be
electronic
and
based
on
the
way
that
nrs
and
nac's
written.
K
What
cannot
be
electronic
is
the
actual
signatures
on
the
map,
and
so
at
least
the
way
that
it
works
up
here
in
the
truckee
meadows
is
that
some
of
our
maps
they
get
put
on
mylars,
which
are
like
these
plastic
flimsy
sheets
and
they
get
about
15
signatures
and
so
for
each
person
to
sign
these
maps
from
various
different
utility
agencies.
They
have
to
what
sign
them,
there's
nothing
that
allows
them
at
this
point
to
process
an
electronic
process
with
kovid.
K
Some
of
these
maps
would
go
in.
They
would
sit
in
quarantine
for
a
couple
weeks
and
then
somebody
would
sign
it.
Then
it
would
go
to
the
next
utility
agency
would
sit
in
a
quarantine
for
a
couple
weeks.
Then
that
person
would
sign
it.
So
you
have
maps
that
went
from
you
know
taking
six
months
to
taking
almost
12
to
14
months
to
get
through
the
process,
and
so
what,
when
we
originally
devised
this
process,
we
said
well,
why?
K
Why
does
it
have
to
go
through
this
way
that
we've
done
it
since
the
late
1800s,
so
we
said
well?
Why
can't
we
do
it
electronically?
You
can
do
the
stamps
electronically
and
there's
a
process
to
do
that.
Why
can't
you
do
the
signatures
electronically
as
well,
and
so
this
would
just
enable
us
to
figure
out
a
way
to
actually
make
that
a
possibility.
F
And
I
thank
you
for
that
and
I
think
that's
a
good
bill.
Don't
get
me
wrong
and-
and
we
have
to
do
stamps
all
the
time
and
when
we
do,
we
have
to
go
down
to
the
city
and
or
put
them
in
blue
and
then
we
could
take
them
down
and
present
them
to
or
the
city
counties
state
whatever.
So
I
appreciate
it
and
I
I
understand
what
you're
trying
to
do
and
and
with
the
covet
it
just
put
everything
back.
So
thank
you
very
much.
A
B
Thank
you
thanks
very
much,
gentlemen.
I
appreciate
the
presentation.
My
question
is
relative
to
the
process
of
the
mylars
going
through
that
electronic
process
that
you
just
detailed
so
so
wonderfully
and
the
integrity
of
the
signatures.
So
right
now
the
way
the
mylars.
It's
my
understanding
go
through
the
process.
Each
entity
receives
it
after
an
approval
process
from
the
previous
entity.
B
Are
you
envisioning
that
this
process
will
change
and
that
multiple
entities
could
do
signatures
and
reviews
simultaneously
in
order
to
shorten
that
window,
and
then,
secondarily,
I'm
curious
to
know
about
the
integrity
of
the
data,
so
you
can't
sign
off
on
a
mylar
until
the
guy
before
you
has
signed
off
on
on
their
portion
of
it?
How
are
we
able
to
ensure
the
integrity
of
each
signature
as
it
goes
through
the
electronic
process?
Have
you
given
any
thought
to
that,
and
then
how
are
we
going
to
maintain
that
electronic
data?
G
What's
wesley
harper
nevada
league
of
cities
for
the
record,
thank
you
assemblywoman
for
your
question.
I'm
going
to
turn
over
the
bulk
of
that.
This
answer
to
mr
burkhart.
I
will
say
about
the
resources
required
to
essentially
implement
and
and
institute.
This
legislation
is,
you
know,
completely
optional
up
to
each
county
and
each
municipality.
G
We
that
this
bill
creates
no
requirement
and
creates
no
burden
for
any
local
government
to
take
this
on.
It
merely
enables
them.
Should
they
decide
to
step
into
the
space,
so
those
kinds
of
decisions
this
legislation
does
not
does
not
consider
for
the
more
technical
portion
of
your
question
about
the
mylars
and
the
the
order
in
which
they
should
be
signed
and
the
security
of
those.
Mr
burkhaut,
if
you
please.
K
Thank
you
assembly,
member
jeff
porkhart
for
the
record.
I
the
way
that
I
envision
this
occurring
is
that
each
different
individual
agencies
would
work
together
with
the
clerk's
offices
to
try
to
come
up
with
a
software
that
makes
sense
and
how
to
protect
the
data
and
what,
in
what
order.
It
makes
sense
to
revise
these
signatures.
K
So
the
the
in
my
mind,
it
would
be
great
if
we
could
all
sign
off,
at
the
same
time,
similar
to
the
way
that
you
can
sign
a
contract,
I'm
not
sure
necessarily
whether
that
would
work
or
not,
and
so
those
discussions
would
need
to
occur
to
be
individually
to
individually
fit
the
jurisdiction's
needs.
K
And
so
that's
why.
As
mr
harper
mentioned,
we
would
we
would
need
to
do
that
at
the
localized
level,
and
this
would
just
enable
us
to
have
those
conversations,
because,
right
now,
it's
just
not
allowed.
K
I
do
agree
that
protecting
data
so
that
it
can't
be
changed
midway
through
the
process
or
somebody
can't
make
a
last-minute
revision
at
the
end
is
extremely
important
and
so
to
be
able
to
lock.
Those
plans
up
front
before
you
submit
out
for
signature.
Is
a
possibility
with
the
autocad
software
that
most
people
use
to
design
their
plans
and
that's
actually
one
of
the
requirements.
A
Thank
you
assemblywoman.
I
believe
we
don't
have
any
additional
questions
from
any
of
the
members
and
if
I
accidentally
skip
somebody,
we
can
come
back
to.
A
Broadcast
I'd
like
to
open
it
up
for
those
wishing
to
speak
in
support
of
assembly
bill
3..
I
want
to
remind
those
of
you
wishing
to
speak
in
support
to
please
state
your
name
spell
it
for
the
record
and
that
you
please
limit
your
comments
to
two
minutes.
H
H
C
J-A-M-I-E-R-O-D-R-I-G-U-E-Z,
we
are
in
support
of
this
piece
of
legislation.
We
appreciate
the
conversations
that
are
still
happening
with
the
recorders
on
some
of
the
clarifications
they
are
seeking,
but
we
are
in
support
of
the
bill.
C
We
think
this
is
a
really
good
step
in
the
right
direction,
especially
in
this
new
world
that
we're
living
in
right
now,
this
type
of
flexibility
that
the
bill
would
allow
is
really
what
we
need
to
make
sure
that
services
that
our
county
provides
are
able
to
be
provided
to
the
different
people
in
our
community
who
need
these
maps
approved,
and
what
have
you
and
reducing
the
amount
of
human
contact
that
would
be
required.
So
again,
thank
you
to
the
sponsor
for
bringing
this
forward
and
we
are
in
support
of
the
bill.
H
F
Yes,
this
is
vincent
guthro,
v-I-n-s-o-n
g-u-t-h-r-e,
I'm
representing
the
nevada
association
of
counties.
All
17
counties
are
our
members.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Naco
is
also
lending
their
support
to
ab3.
We
believe
this.
F
The
legislation
is
enabling-
and
we
believe
it's
a
good
government
bill
that
keeps
pace
with
our
ever-changing
technologies
and
environment
and
given
the
enabling
language,
we
would
support
counties
and
local
governments
to
be
able
to
respond
to
these
submissions
that
are
becoming
in
a
coming
in
a
format
that
is
more
common
and
and
also
we
appreciate
the
sponsor
for
bringing
this
forward
and
working
on
amendment
with
the
recorders
on
on
their
sections.
But
we
really
we
are
lending
our
support
to
the
to
this
bill.
Thank
you.

Good
morning,
mr
chairman,
in
committee,
my
name
is
matt
walker,
m-a-t-t,
w-a-l-k-e-r,
and
pleased
to
be
calling
in
today
in
support
of
ab3
on
behalf
of
the
southern
nevada,
home
builders
association
and
as
much
as
our
we're
working
with
our
engineers,
architects
and
surveyors
in
digital
format.
If
we
can
submit
them
in
digital
format
as
well,
it's
incredibly
efficient
and
does
increase
transparency
and
accountability.
F
We
are
are
pleased
that
this
measure
is
moving
forward,
and
I
just
want
to
take
the
remainder
of
my
brief
time
to
extend
our
thank
you
to
the
recorders
public
works
folks
and
and
building
officials
across
the
southern
nevada
for
springing
into
action,
innovating
and
finding
creative
solutions
to
make
sure
that
our
workforce
can
submit
as
much
as
possible
digitally
so
that
we
can
be
safe
and
keep
the
economy.
Turning
during
its
time.
Thank
you.

And
thank
you
for
your
remarks.
If
we

c-a-t-h-c-a-r-t,
representing
the
city
of
henderson.
I
want
to
thank
the
league
of
cities
for
requesting
this
legislation
and
for
the
city
of
reno's
assistance
in
the
presentation
today,
since
the
beginning
of
the
copa
19
pandemic,
the
city
of
henderson
has
moved
to
the
extent
possible
of
electronic
filing
of
development
services
documents,
and
this
bill
will
help
further
that
cause
continuously.
Improving
customer
service
is
always
a
focus
of
the
city,
so
we
are
fully
supportive
of
ab3.
Thank
you.
H
H
A
G
Thank
you
here
miss
madam
vice
chair
and
members
of
the
committee
wesley
harper
for
nevada
league
of
cities
for
the
record,
in
closing
just
want
to
restate
that
this
is
a.
This
is
a
bill
that
is
designed
to
enable
counties
and
local
governments
and
petitioners
to
move
into
an
electronic
format
that
provides
and
creates
the
opportunity
for
greater
efficiency,
accountability
and
and
cost
savings
through
through
this.
G
This
act,
it
is
permissive,
it
does
not
require
that
these
counties
or
any
other
government
entity
take
on
a
burden
that,
if
they
believe
that
it
is
a
burden,
but
what
we
think
likely
occurs,
that
counties
will
move
at
different
different
speeds.
Other
counties
will
be
able
to
learn
and
benchmark
best
practices
from
those
counties
that
go
first,
a
statewide
standard
would
inevitably
be
created
and
it
moves
nevada
forward
in
this
perspective
over
time
with
that,
those
are
my
closing
comments.
Thank
you,
chair.
A
Thank
you,
mr
harper.
Just
for
the
sake
of
clarity
for
the
record,
I
wanted
to
make
it
abundantly
clear
that,
during
the
line
of
questioning
by
assemblyman
ellison,
he
referenced
a
gift.
He
was
referencing
a
gift
that
I
gave
him
for
valentine's
day
I
sent
over
some
chocolate.
I
just
wanted
to
make
it
abundantly
clear
that
he
was
not
acknowledging
a
gift
that
came
from
a
lobbyist
or
anybody
else.
It
was
a
gift
that
I
sent
him.
A
No
and
thank
you
assemblyman,
I
just
I
didn't-
want
anybody
to
think
that
pink
chocolate
yeah
with
that
I'd
like
to
close
out
the
hearing
on
assembly,
bill
3
and
I'd
like
to
open
up
the
hearing
on
assembly
bill
63..
Mr
harper
again
welcome
back,
and
I
I'd
like
for
you
to
proceed
in
that.
A
Whatever
presentation
you
have
prepared,
but
that
you
again
address
those
three
questions,
which
is
the
genesis
of
the
bill
who
was
involved
in
the
language
and
why
it's
necessary
just
to
preempt
some
of
the
questions
from
the
members,
mr
harper,
whenever
you're
ready.
G
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
madam
vice
chair,
wesley
harper
and
the
valedica
cities
for
the
record.
Ab63
is
designed
to
broaden
the
access
to
municipal
budget
stabilization
funds
from
natural
disasters
to
declared
states
of
emergency.
Existing
law
does
not
anticipate
the
need
of
municipalities
to
access
the
budget
stabilization
fund
in
the
case
of
a
pandemic.
In
addition
to
allowing
for
the
pandemic
to
be
included.
This
change
also
gives
flexibility
in
the
case
of
other
health
crises
or
unimagined
emergencies
simply
put.
G
The
thinking
at
the
time
was
fema
related,
as
you
apply
for
fema
reimbursements,
federal
emergency
management
association
reimbursements
when
they
come
to
provide
help
and
assistance
or
recovery
from
natural
disasters.
There
is
a
copac
that
is
required
in
order
to
get
those
grants
allocated
to
your
local
government.
G
It
was
deemed
prudent
to
suggest
that,
if
a
natural,
if
rather
a
state
if
an
emergency
is
declared
that
becomes
one
of
the
triggers,
this
was
brought
to
the
league
by
the
city
of
henderson.
The
league
then
turned
around
and
provided
this
idea
and
the
language
for
the
bill
to
our
full
membership
membership
agreed
that
it
would
be
a
benefit
for
all
member
municipalities,
and
the
league
therefore
took
it
up
and
proposed
this
to
the
legislature.
G
I
have
with
me
to
help
present
this
bill
and
also
answer
questions
around
how
it
may
work
and
function.
Jim
mcintosh,
he
is
the
chief
financial
officer
for
the
city
of
henderson
again
this
in
my
conversations
with
committee
members
in
advance
of
the
proceeding
today,
we
did
receive
a
number
of
questions.
G
I
will
give
some,
I
guess,
a
an
overview
of
commentary
before
the
specifics
of
those
questions
that
were
posed
to
us
in
advance
in
those
meetings
and
perhaps
the
questions
that
are
going
to
come
today
to
say
that
you
know
the
the
stabilization
fund.
The
way
I
think
of
it
is
really
a
savings
account
that
the
cities
have
created
in
case
of
emergency
budget
impacts
that
were
unanticipated
typically,
when
those
budget
impacts
are
the
result
of
a
threat
to
life
or
property.
G
G
There
are
two
triggers
to
accessing
money
under
this
proposed
legislation
trigger
one
is
that
there
is
a
threat
to
life
and
safety
of
residents
or
property
trigger
two
is
that
there
is
a
budget
impact
without
the
budget
impact.
There
is
no
cause
to
access
the
stabilization
fund
without
the
threat
to
life
and
property.
Again,
there
is
no
cause
to
access
the
stabilization
fund.
G
A
L
L
As
mr
harper
stated,
the
statute
that
ab-63
modifies
relates
to
the
creation
of
a
financial
stabilization
fund
for
local
governments.
The
statute,
as
it
exists
right
now,
is
an
enabling
statute.
It
allows
local
governments
to
create
and
fund
with
their
own
dollars
a
reserve
account
that
may
act
as
a
rainy
day
fund
when
revenues
fall
short
of
what
is
anticipated
or
a
fund
to
draw
on
when
there
are
unanticipated
expenditures
related
to
a
natural
disaster,
so
it
also
protects
the
savings
account
from
being
transferred
or
used
for
any
other
purpose.
L
Due
to
the
current
emergency
declarations
that
are
declared
both
by
the
state
and
the
city
of
henderson
related
to
the
pandemic
and
not
a
natural
disaster,
we
certainly
support
the
expansion
of
the
use
of
these
funds
for
the
broader
use
of
an
emergency,
as
opposed
to
the
more
narrow
use
of
simply
a
natural
disaster.
And
if
there's
one
thing
I'd
like
to
add,
is
just
to
note
that
the
creation
of
and
providing
resources
to
the
fund
is
the
choice
of
the
local
government.
There's
no
impact
in
the
state
budget.
L
Should
a
government
choose
to
fund
or
not
fund
a
budget
stabilization
fund
and
a
government
chooses
to
either
create
a
budget
stabilization
fund
through
a
resolution
and
chooses
to
to
fund
it.
The
proposed
changes
simply
reflect
that
there
may
be
expenditures
incurred
by
a
local
government.
They
may
not
have
been
budgeted
for
due
to
an
emergency
broader
than
a
natural
disaster
like
the
pandemic
we're
facing
now
and
with
that
I'll
help
with
any.
A
J
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
I
understand
why
you
didn't
want
to
create
a
laundry
list
of
specific
incidents
where
that
this
could
be
triggered.
But
my
worry
is
that
into
the
definition
of
emergency
it
inc.
It
includes
threatened
occurrence
and
also
protect
property,
and
those
two
seem
seem
vague
when
it's
the
governing
body
that
determines,
if
there's
an
issue,
does
the
formal
declaration,
it
frees
up
some
money.
J
The
way
that
it's
written
is
it's
possible
to.
Let's
say
somebody
requests
the
permits
to
do
a
protest,
and
potentially
the
idea
of
the
protest
becomes
too
large
under
this
reading.
Would
it
be
possible
for
them
to
say
well,
wait
a
minute,
it's
a
threatened
occurrence
because
it
might
harm
the
city
or
county
park
that
the
protest
is
going
to
be
created
in.
G
Thank
you
assemblywoman.
I
appreciate
the
question
again
wesley
harper
for
the
record.
I
will
say
in
opening
that
right
there
are
two
triggers.
One
is
a
as
you
mentioned.
It
is
the
it's
called
the
anticipated
threat
of
loss
of
life
or
or
harm,
and
also
of
property
damage
or
destruction.
The
other
is
a
an
actual
budget
impact.
G
So
as
a
city,
if
they're
in
your
example,
if
there
is
a
demonstration
protest
event
planned
permitted
by
a
city
and
they
anticipate
that
it's
going
to
create
a
a
budget
impact
on
that
city,
the
anticipation
of
the
budget
impact
is
not
what
triggers
access
to
the
stabilization
fund.
It's
an
actual
budget
impact
so.
G
That
would
then
be
one
of
the
prongs
of
the
two-prong
trigger
I'm
going
to
pause
here
for,
for
mr
mcintosh,
to
weigh
in
I.
I
want
to
be
sure
that
I'm
answering
your
question
completely,
not
quite
sure
that
I'm
doing
so,
but
I
wanted
mr
mcintosh
to
come
in
and
then
please
assume
the
woman
if
I
haven't
done
a
a
good
job,
please
let
me
know.
L
Thank
you
wesley,
mr
mr
chair,
through
you
to
assemblywoman
constantine,
I
think,
from
the
perspective
of
the
city
of
henderson
we're
very
protective
of
these
funds,
which
we
chose
through
resolution
to
our
council
to
create
a
budget
stabilization
fund.
We
have
a
financial
management
policy
surrounding
the
budget,
stabilization
fund,
the
amount
of
money
that
is
the
guiding
principle
that
we
like
required
to
be
kept
in
the
fund.
L
You
know
the
the
need
to
access.
The
funds,
as
wesley
has
stated,
is
one
of
two:
it
revenues
are
either
not
coming
in
as
anticipated,
so
one-time
use-
or
there
are
expenditures
required
to
mitigate
right
now,
a
natural
disaster
we're
proposing
an
emergency
that
we're
not
budgeted
for
at
the
end
of
the
day,
at
least
the
way
the
city
of
henderson
views
this.
We
have
to
restore
those
funds
at
some
point
and
so
accessing
the
budget.
L
Stabilization
funds,
for
us
at
least,
is
sort
of
a
last
resort
and
very
contemplative
and
thoughtful
without
actually
accessing
those
funds,
because
we
know
we'll
have
to
restore
them
at
some
point
based
on
our
own
policy
surrounding
them,
and
so
I
I
just
don't,
I
suppose
in
your
example,
it's
possible
if
there
were
was
a
threat,
and
I
do
want
to
be
clear
that
the
definition
of
emergency
used
here
is
the
definition
of
emergency
used
in,
for
the
most
part,
youth
in
state
statute.
L
If
there
were
an
emergency
declared,
there
were
additional
expenditures
that
were
above
and
beyond
what
had
been
anticipated
in
the
budget.
It
would
be
possible
the
way
this
the
way
I
read
the
statute
that
you
would
be
able
to
access
your
budget
stabilization
fund,
I'm
not
sure
that
that
would
be
a
use
that
the
city
of
henderson
itself
would
believe
would
qualify,
and
even
if
it
did,
there
would
be
a
requirement
for
our
own
policy
to
restore
those
funds.
At
some
point,
I
hope
that
helps
answer
your
question.
J
F
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
want
to
thank
also
our
presenters
for
being
here
with
us
this
morning.
It's
a
quick,
two
questions.
First,
and
I
think
I
know
the
answer
to
this,
but
I
wanted
to
make
sure
I
didn't
miss
something
my
reading
of
this
bill
is
that,
even
in
the
event
where
say,
we
have
a
statewide
emergency
declared,
you
say
by
the
governor.
That
applies
the
entire
state
for
the
local
government
to
access
these
funds.
F
They
would
still
need
an
act
from
the
local
government
body
to
to
trigger
the
ability
to
use
those
funds
is
that
is
my
assumption.
There
correct.
G
G
When
I
did
the
read
my
anticipate,
my
interpretation
was
that
any
governing
body
local
county
state
could
trigger
the
access
to
the
stabilization
fund,
along
with
the
second
prong
that
the
fiscal
impact.
So
my
understanding
was
that
if
there
is
a
state
declaration
of
emergency
that
would
suffice.
G
But
I
would
imagine
that
if
there
is
a
state
declaration
of
emergency
and
if
a
local
government
also
experienced
the
same
conditions
that
the
state
was
concerned
about
that,
they
would
then
in
turn
go
ahead
and
issue
their
own
local
declaration
of
emergency.
Mr
mcintosh,.
L
Thank
you,
mr
harper,
chair,
flores,
assemblyman
matthews.
I
would
agree
with
you.
I
don't.
I
don't
know
that
it's
clear
actually
in
this
statute,
whether
there
has
to
be
a
declaration
of
emergency.
L
The
definition
of
natural
disaster
is
in
here
right
now,
and
I
don't
know
that
there
is
any
mention
of
a
declared
natural
disaster.
Okay,.
F
Just
maybe
to
clarify
when
I'm
when
I'm
the
reason
I
ask
I'm
just
looking
at
the
provision.
The
money
in
the
fund
may
not
be
used
to
pay
expenses
and
credit
mitigate
the
effects
of
an
emergency
or
natural
disaster
until
the
governing
body
of
the
local
government
issues,
a
formal
declaration
that
emergency
or
natural
disaster
exists.
F
So
that's
why
reading
that
made
me
think
that,
even
if
it's
just
declared
by
state
government
statewide,
you
would
probably
still
need
that
local
government
to
declare
the
disaster
emergency
in
order
to
be
able
to
use
these
funds,
and
that's
why
I
just
wanted
to
seek
clarification
on
that.
So
thank
you,
my
and,
if
you
have
anything
to
add
to
that
feel
free.
My
second
question
is
in
reading
section
seven
of
the
bill.
F
I
notice
it
says
any
transfer
of
money
from
a
fund
established
pursuant
to
this
section
for
natural
disaster
must
be
completed
within
90
days
after
the
end
of
fiscal
year,
et
cetera.
I
noticed
it
said
natural
disaster,
but
did
not
include
the
word
emergency
there
in
section
seven,
and
I
was
wondering
if
there
was
a
a
similar
time
provision.
G
What's
the
league
of
cities
for
the
record?
Thank
you
assignment
for
your
question,
just
a
brief
follow-up
on
your
first
question
and
then
I
will
ask
mr
mcintosh
to
comment
on
your
latest
questions
in
the
event
that
the
the
governor
declares
a
state
of
emergency
for
the
state.
G
If
a
local
government
is
not
experiencing
a
financial
impact
from
that
state
of
emergency,
then
one
of
the
two
aspects
required
to
trigger
the
the
use
of
the
stabilization
fund
does
not
exist,
and
so
I
guess
what
is
anticipated
here
is
under
your
scenario.
If
the
governor
declares
a
state
of
emergency,
that
local
government
with
the
stabilization
fund
is
also
experiencing
that
state
of
emergency
and
therefore
would
declare
it
and
then
also
further
would
have
fiscal
impact
as
a
result,
and
that
becomes
that
two-pronged
trigger.
G
With
respect
to
the
transfer
of
money
you,
you
commented
on
section
seven:
the
transfer
of
money
for
a
natural
disaster.
Mr
mcintosh,
would
you
mind
commenting
on
that?
Please,
sir.
L
So,
thank
you
again,
mr
harper.
So
specifically
in
section
seven
it
the
edition
is
for
a
natural
disaster.
So
what's
occurred,
a
declaration
of
emergency
was
made
by
the
city
of
anderson
marsh
previously,
the
the
governor
had
made
a
declaration
of
emergency
related
to
the
pandemic,
the
the
difference
between
what
we've
experienced
between
the
pandemic
and
the
natural
disasters
we
enter
into
this
emergency
phase.
We
try
to
staunch
the
bleeding.
We
activate
our
emergency
operations
center
and
in
a
natural
disaster.
L
The
time
frame
of
this
might
be
a
lot
shorter.
We
we
resolve
the
emergency,
we
recur.
Whatever
emergency
supplies,
we
need
to
get
provide
for
overtime
for
our
public
safety
officers.
What
have
you
and
we
try
to
staunch
the
bleeding
on
the
emergency,
and
then
we
enter
into
the
recovery
phase,
what
we
found
with
the
pandemic.
It
was
very
different
and
I
think
us
other
emergencies
might
be
as
well,
and
so
I
think
we're
looking
for
the
flexibility
here
that
specific
to
a
natural
disaster
would
be
completed.
L
I
I
think
it's
purposely
excluding
the
time
frame
for
any
other
emergency,
because
I
don't
know
we
as
we're
getting
on
to
one
year
to
where
we
have
declared
an
emergency
for
this
pandemic,
and
we
are
still
under
a
state
of
emergency
and
might
need
to
still
possibly
transfer
funds
from
the
budget
stabilization
fund.
If
that
helps
answer
the.
F
Question
it
does
presumably,
then
with
it
with
the
time
frame
being
sort
of
open-ended.
My
reading
of
this
would
mean
that
the
ability
to
access
those
funds
would
continue
to
exist
so
long
as
the
state
of
emergency
remains
in
place.
Essentially,
yes,
all
right.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
both.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,.
B
Thank
you,
mr
harper,
for
the
presentation
again,
a
couple
comments.
Municipalities
operate
on
very
razor
bend
budgets
they're
not
allowed
to
have
a
lot
of
extra
capital
sitting
in
the
in
the
general
fund,
so
these
stabilization
funds
are
extremely
important.
I
can
tell
you
from
my
time
on
the
mesquite
city
council,
and
I
know
that
all
municipalities
are
probably
different,
but
the
procedure
was
the
state
declares
the
declaration
of
emergency
and
then
the
council
or
the
mayor
had
to
declare
a
state
of
emergency
as
well.
B
So
that
being
said,
I
think
that
this
is
important
because,
as
as
we've
seen,
you
can't
have
a
bunch
of
money,
like
I
said,
sitting
in
the
operating
budget,
so
I
think
that
these
are
important
things
to
prepare
for,
and
I
think
that
on
another
level,
as
a
council
person
shifting
gears
a
little
bit,
you
kind
of
feel
as
a
municipality
that
if
you
do
not
declare
a
state
of
emergency
when
the
governor
says
you
declare
a
state
of
emergency
or
has
declared
a
state
of
emergency,
that
you
may
not
receive
funds
from
from,
say
the
cares
act.
B
A
You
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
mr
harper
or
nobody
wanted
to
make
any
remark
as
to
that.
I
don't
believe
you
do
with
that.
I'd
like
to
go
to
assemblywoman
anderson,
please.
C
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
just
about
one
small
thing
that
I
had
talked
with
mr
harper
about
as
well.
The
resolution
to
establish
this
fund
would
be
done
in
open
meeting
law,
but
then
the
the
accessibility
or
the
decision
as
to
what
makes
an
emergency
would
that
be
also
a
discussed
or
decided
in
an
open
meeting
as
well.
So
it
had
to
be
agendas.
G
Wesley
harper
nevada
league
of
cities
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
your
question.
Assemblywoman
anderson.
This
is
a
question
that
mr
mcintosh
is
certainly
prepared
to
respond
to.
Mr
mcintosh,.
L
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
So
for
proof,
when
you
say
agendized,
I
will
tell
you
the
the
city
of
henderson
last
year,
when
it
prepared
its
budget,
it
did
propose
a
transfer
from
its
budget
stabilization
fund
within
the
budget
and
by
putting
it
in
that
document.
L
You
know
that
that
final
budget
that
goes
before
council
requires
a
public
hearing.
That's
where
I
it
would.
It
would
receive
the
transparency
that
it
needs
in
order
to
discuss
it
with
council
and
be
part
of
the
agenda
if
the
emergency
would
have
been
declared
mid-year
and
a
transfer
would
have
been
required
after
the
budget
document
had
been
prepared,
and
these
were
unanticipated
expenditures
and
transfers
were
made.
The
city
itself
would
be
transparent.
L
We
certainly
would
have
briefings
with
our
council
where
it
would
come
to
an
open
meeting
would
be
then,
when
we
make
those
transfers.
We
have
budget
requirements
where
we
are
required
to
report
the
any
augmentations
to
the
budget
on
a
regular
basis,
and
so
that's
where
it
would
ultimately
make
its
way
to
an
open
meeting.
C
C
We
need
to
use
this
money,
it
would
be
in
the
next
city
council
discussed
or
the
next
council
discussion,
or
it
would
be
at
the
end
of
that
budget
year
that
that
was
discussed.
So
if
people
disagreed
with
that
definition,
they
would
not
be
able
to
have
the
discussion
until
the
end
of
the
budget
year.
I'm
a
little
bit
confused
by
that.
L
Yep,
well,
let
me
so
for
for
the
city
of
henderson
we'd
be
providing
it
at
the
end
of.
L
The
end
of
the
budget
year
would
be
the
augmentation
would
be
presented
to
council.
So,
yes,.
C
Okay,
so
there's
no
way
for
a
body
of
people
to
be
able
to
disagree.
That
emergency
has
been
declared
declared
using
this
similar
situation
that
assembly
member
constabine
had
brought
up
earlier
exactly.
L
We
would
follow
all
standard
budget
processes
in
terms
of
appropriating
a
budget
for
this
transfer
if
it
was
made
in
time
to
be
included
in
the
budget
document
and
then
the
processes
for
augmenting
the
budget
to
show
the
transfer
were
made
mid-year
and
unanticipated.
So
no
immediate,
open
meeting
is
required
for
this.
C
A
A
Record
perfect,
seeing
none
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
invite
those
wishing
to
speak
in
support
of
assembly
bill
63
that
you
please
limit
your
remarks
to
two
minutes
and
that
you
state
your
name
for
the
record
and
spell
it.
Thank
you.
H
H
F
F
The
nevada
association
of
counties
supports
this
measure,
as
we
again
see
this
as
a
good
governance
and
an
update
to
public
policy,
that
is
in
direct
response
to
the
current
environment,
and
it
should
enable
local
governments
to
respond
to
unforeseen
circumstances
and
natural
disasters
and
provide
them
another
tool
if
the
need
should
arise.
So
we
support
this
measure.
Thank
you
to
the
sponsors
for
bringing
it
forward.

We
thank
the
league
of
cities
for
bringing
forward
this
bill
and
the
city
of
henderson
for
their
presentation
today,
city
reno
appreciates
the
effort
to
clean
up
this
section
of
nrs
and
provide
flexibility
to
local
governments
to
use
this
fund
in
the
most
needed
of
times,
especially
after
what
we've
learned
in
relation
to
the
ongoing
pandemic.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration
of
this
bill.
A
H
H
A
A
H
G
It
allows
local
governments
to
be
able
to
provide
and
continue
to
provide,
not
only
a
response
to
whatever
the
state
of
emergency
is,
but
to
continue
to
provide
services
to
the
residents
that
rely
upon
those
services.
A
Thank
you,
mr
harper,
and
several
members
have
raised
some
concerns
and-
and
I
ask
that
you
work
closely
with
them-
I'm
sure
they'll
be
reaching
out
to
you
to
address
the
potential
of
narrowing
the
definition
so
that
people
are
comfortable
as
to
what
exactly
will
be
encapsulated
by
that,
but
we'll
be
reaching
out
to
you,
mr
harper,
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
on
these
measures.
At
this
time.
A
I'd
like
to
close
out
the
hearing
on
assembly
bill
63
and
I'd
like
to
briefly
reopen
the
hearing
on
assembly
bill
3..
A
We
are
back
and
we've
reopened
assembly
bill
3.,
please
let
the
record
reflect
that
I've
received
two
separate
emails
and
I
will
take
them
in
the
order
that
we
received
them.
I
received
an
email
from
kerry.
Kramer,

k-r-a-m-e-r

argentine
partners
and

naples.
A
A
A
I'd
like
to
once
again
reopen
assembly
bill
63
and
indicate
that
I've
again
received
an
email
from
ms
crofton
kelly,
k-e-l-y
c-r-o-m-p-t-o-n,
and
that
she
indicated
that
she
also
wanted
to
testify
in
support
of
assembly
bill
63
and
again
had
issues
with
that.
A
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
close
out
the
hearing
on
assembly
bill
63
and
again
I
apologize
to
all
of
you
trying
to
log
in
sometimes
we
have
some
technical
issues
on
our
side,
but
that
was
not
intentional
with
that
members.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
questions.
I
look
forward
to
working
alongside
of
you
on
addressing
some
of
those
concerns
you
raised
on
these
bills.
A
I
think
we
can
work
together
and
find
some
amicable
agreement
to
to
get
this
moved
for
those
of
you
that
will
have
an
opportunity
to
be
with
your
families.
I
wish
you
a
great
valentine's
day,
I
hope
you're
surrounded
by
love
and
happiness
for
those
of
you
who
are
going
to
stay
up
here
and
work,
which
I
know
that's
a
lot
of
you.
I
just
hope
that
you
have
an
opportunity
to
go
out
to
dinner
and
just
relax
for
a
bit.
That's
important
take
care
of
your
health
members.
