members
of
the
committee.
Thank
you
for
inviting
us
here
today
to
share
an
overview
of
the
city
of
reno,
I'm
cali
wilsi
and
I
serve
as
a
senior
management
analyst
in
the
city
manager's
office,
focusing
on
intergovernmental
relations.
I'm
honored
today
to
be
joined
by
our
city
manager,
doug
thornley,
mr
thornley,
was
sworn
in
as
our
city
manager
in
october
of
last
year.
He
brings
with
him
an
extensive
background
in
both
government
and
the
legal
field.
City
manager.
F
Thank
you
very
much,
miss
wilsey
good
morning,
chair
flores
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
I'm
doug
fourney,
the
city
manager
in
reno.
I
know
it's
best
to
be
brief.
I've
heard
that
admonition
right
from
the
jump,
and
so
what
I'd
like
to
do
is
I'd
like
to
introduce
our
mayor
and
council
and
then
I'll
talk
about
the
biggest
little
city
in
two
parts.
F
First
would
like
to
describe
sort
of
the
universal
challenge
in
our
country
and
state
response
and
recovery
from
the
global
pandemic,
and
then
second,
our
long-range
effort
to
ensure
fiscal
stability,
so
that
we
can
continue
to
provide
high
quality
services
to
to
the
folks
in
our
community.
F
Well,
one
second:
getting
let's
go
like
I
said:
we've
worked
diligently
with
our
regional
partners
to
assure
a
united
response
from
building
the
regulatory
framework
through
which
truckee
meadows
has
been
able
to
reduce
test
and
positivity
rate
in
the
spread
of
covet
19..
F
What
that
means
we'll
talk
about
in
a
little
bit,
but
we've
done
a
really
good
job
here
in
washoe
county
of
working
collaboratively
to
make
sure
that
those
responses
and
those
frameworks
are
uniform
across
all
jurisdictions
really
quickly.
Our
seven-member
board
has
a
mayor
and
an
at-large
council
member
and
then
the
rest
of
the
city
is
divided
into
five
wards.
You
see
them
here
on
the
screen.
F
F
They
have
admirably
led
our
community
during
this
pandemic
event,
but
we
haven't
worked
alone.
You
know
the
state
washoe
county
city
sparks
the
washer
county.
Health
district
have
been
tremendous
partners
in
coordinating
our
regional
response,
from
communications
to
distribution
of
ppe
and
and,
of
course,
the
now
underway
effort
to
vaccinate
our
community.
The
regional
emergency
operation
centers
run
points
on
effectively
and
efficiently
delivering
all
of
those
services
to
our
citizens.
F
As
a
city,
though,
we
are
particularly
proud
of
the
support
we've
been
able
to
offer
our
employees
businesses
here
in
reno,
through
temporary
regulatory
flexibility,
maximizing
the
use
of
cares,
act,
funding
in
addition
to
reduced
and
deferred
fees
for
business
licenses
and
other
services.
We've
allowed
certain
outdoor
operations
so
that
businesses
can
remain
open
and
comply
with
social
distancing
requirements.
We
worked
hard
to
make
sure
that
people
could
safely
keep
working
and,
of
course,
that
effort
required
significant
investment.
F
Our
council
identified
a
dozen
priority
categories
to
guide
how
we'd
spend
the
46.7
million
dollars
of
crf
allocated
to
the
city
reno
like
every
jurisdiction.
We
had
certain
hard
costs.
I'd
like
to
highlight,
though,
a
couple
of
special
points.
First,
you
see
down
there
number
12
remote
education
relief.
We
spent
2.7
million
dollars
to
buy
thousands
of
laptop
computers
for
the
washoe
county
school
district
to
be
distributed
to
their
students,
who
didn't
have
the
infrastructure
at
home
to
participate
in
distance
learning.
F
F
Fourth,
the
fourth
point
which
you
see
is
we've
made
a
significant
investment
in
protecting
our
unsheltered
population
from
the
spread
of
covid,
we'll
see
some
pictures
of
of
what
we're
doing
here
in
washoe
county
in
just
a
few
slides
and
then
sixth,
we've
spent
5.7
million
dollars
on
business
impact
relief
programs.
F
What
that
means
is
that
we've
been
able
to
provide
financial
assistance
to
776
local
businesses,
while
I'm
happy
that
we
got
that
extra
one,
it
would
have
been
serendipitous
to
have
775
of
those.
There
are
300
some
odd
local
artists
musicians,
who
we've
also
been
able
to
take
care
of
through
this
allocation
and
this
relief
program.
One
thing
that
we're
really
proud
of
is
that
we
were
able
to
highlight
women
and
my
minority-owned
businesses
in
this
assistance
program
and
we
were
able
to
get
grants
into
their
hands
very
very
quickly.
F
I
mentioned
the
unsheltered
population
and
the
investment
we've
made
there.
One
of
the
things
we've
been
working
on
as
a
community
is
building
a
central
location
for
wraparound
services
sheltering
and
ultimately
transitional
housing
on,
what's
been
referred
to
as
the
governorable
governors
bowl
park,
you
see
it's.
F
It's
up
here,
I
don't
know
if
you
can
see
my
cursor
or
not,
but
it's
the
baseball
field
up
here
this
site,
the
two,
the
two
identified
parcels
sort
of
above
that
sit
up,
they're
a
flat
surface
and
that's
where
sheltering
and
transitional
housing
will
take
place
in
the
future.
F
F
That
is
that's
the
function
we
provide
for
this
community
and
you
know
some
of
the
some
of
the
challenges
that
we
face.
I
think
are
worth
the
committee's
attention.
Just
in
general.
You
know.
I
think
this
is
this.
Is
us
right
we're
the
third
largest
city
in
the
in
the
state?
We
have
almost
1300
full-time
employees,
we're
106
square
miles
and
we've
been
around
for
more
than
100
years.
F
F
We
also
have
a
planning
department,
like
everyone,
business,
licensing,
wastewater
and
stormwater
management.
We
work
in
in
concert
with
our
partners
in
sparks
in
washoe
county
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
an
appropriate
regional
framework
and
and
infrastructure
built
to
to
protect
the
larger
space
in
the
truckee
meadows
and
then,
of
course,
sustainability
is
something
that
we've
been
working
on.
We've
been
very
proud
of
here
in
reno
in
recent
years,.
F
F
We're
also
the
regional
lead
for
the
continuum
of
care,
and
we
provide
direct
outreach
through
what
we
call
our
clean
and
safe
team
and
that's
a
that's.
A
group
that
goes
out
and
makes
connections
with
our
unsheltered
population
makes
sure
that
they
have
at
least
knowledge
of
the
services
that
that
we're
able
to
provide
in
this
community
and
that,
if
there's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
make
connections
for
them,
that's
what
we
do.
And
so
every
year
we
spend
about
5.2
million
dollars
in
in
homeless,
related
services.
F
F
What
you
see
is
that
we're
pretty
evenly
split
between
property,
tax
and
sea
tax,
like
everyone
but
the
you
know
the
franchise
fees,
the
business
licenses.
We
sort
of
make
up
the
remaining
the
remaining
third
of
of
of
this
puzzle
and
here's
how
we
spend
it.
Also,
like
other
government,
envies
salaries,
wages,
employee
benefits,
take
up
a
a
large
chunk
of
the
general
fund,
expenditures,
services
and
supplies
to
keep
the
lights
on.
F
Of
course,
our
debt
service
we're
very
proud
that
we've
been
chipping
away
at
that
consistently
and
and
moving
that
in
the
right
direction.
In
our
estimation,
capital
outlay,
you
see
is,
is
relatively
low.
Our
capital
program
in
the
general
fund
could
stand
some
attention
again.
You
know
we're
talking
about
the
the
opportunity
costs
and
a
lot
of
our
capital.
Investment
comes
from
our
our
enterprise
funds.
F
So
our
strategic
plan,
our
five-year
strategic
plan,
was
adopted
in
february
of
last
year.
It
had
you
know
just
about
three
weeks
to
get
off
the
ground
before
we
had
to
focus
on
on
something
else
like
everyone
for
the
year,
but
these
are
the
strategic
goals
that
our
council
has
set
for.
Our
city,
as
I
said
number
one,
is:
is
fiscal
sustainability
number
two
we're
making
sure
that
we
have
safe
and
efficient
delivery
of
public
safety
services
for
our
community
number?
Three.
F
We
are
working
on
on
economic
opportunity
for
the
folks
who
choose
to
make
reno
home.
What
we
think
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
There
is,
is
focus
on
the
unsheltered
population
and
affordable
housing,
and
that's
really
where
that
opportunity
cost
comes
to
bear.
Reno
has
a
a
housing
division
and
the
money
that
we
are
spending
in
terms
of
the
continuum
of
care
is
money
that
would
otherwise
go
to
supporting
affordable
housing
in
our
city
and
in
our
region.
F
Economic
and
community
development,
like
everyone,
what
we've
been
what
we've
been
looking
at,
is,
is
bringing
high
quality
well-paying
jobs
to
our
region,
making
sure
that
we're
able
to
coordinate
that
inflow
with
housing
and
infrastructure
and
working
with
the
school
district
to
make
sure
that
the
services
people
need
when
they
choose
to
move
to
a
place,
are
available
and
are
available
in
real
time.
F
We're
very,
very
proud
of
the
public
artwork
that
we've
got
in
in
the
city
of
reno
and
and
preserving
things
of
historical
significance
has
been
a
priority
for
our
council,
and
so
what
that?
What
that
means
really
is
it
all
comes
back
to
that
that
first
goal
for
us
to
do
any
of
the
stuff
that
we've
deemed
important
enough
to
make
this
list.
F
But
we
continue
to
advocate
to
this
group
and
others
for
sustainable
and
equitable
allocation
of
of
property,
tax
and
and
modernization
of
the
tax
structure.
F
I
am
going
to
stand
by
for
questions
you
can
see
on
the
screen
that
the
city's
legislative
priorities
are
up
and
I'm
going
to
hand
this
back
over
to
miss
wilsey.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Thank
you,
mr
thornley.
So,
as
you
can
see,
the
city
has
two
bills
that
we
are
carrying
this
year
and
they
both
relate
to
what
city
manager
thornley
was
discussing
about
fiscal
sustainability
and
really
making
that
one
of
the
highest
priorities.
So
we
can
accomplish
all
the
goals
that
our
council
has
set
out.
The
first
one
is
senate
bill
73,
and
this
authorizes
a
ballot
initiative
to
provide
funding
for
parks,
recreation,
open
space
and
natural
resources.
A
The
second
one
is
senate
bill
11,
which
authorizes
cities
within
washoe
county
to
enact
the
supplemental
governmental
services
tax.
I
know
that
those
are
not
specifically
on
the
agenda
today,
but
wanted
to
highlight
those,
and
we
look
forward
to
speaking
with
with
you
as
those
bills
make
their
way
through
the
legislative
session
and
then
the
last
slide
we
just
wanted
to
leave
with.
You
is
contact
information.
We
look
forward
to
working
with
all
of
you
during
this
legislative
session.
A
I
am
available
to
answer
questions
be
a
resource.
However,
I
can
help
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you.
We
also
contract
with
the
griffin
company,
and
so
they
are
available
as
well
with
that
both
city
manager,
thornley
and
I
are
available
for
your
questions.
Thank
you.
D
D
What
is
the
outreach
to
our
minority
community
then,
especially
following
not
just
related
to
covet
19,
but
also
following
the
events
from
last
spring,
when
there
was
an
attempt
to
take
over
a
peaceful
black
lives
matter,
rally
the
way
that
it
happened.
So
how
has
that
outreach
been
working
over
the
summer?
And
actually,
since
I
guess
about,
I
think
that
was
may
of
last.
D
So
just
what
is
the
outreach
been
for?
Our
minority
community.
F
Well,
let
me
let
me
answer
your
I'm
sorry,
doug
thornley,
for
the
record
and
and
through
you,
mr
chair
to
assemblywoman
anderson.
Let
me
answer
your
question.
Sort
of
in
reverse
order.
The
the
outreach
on
the
public
safety
side
from
the
police
department
in
particular
has
been
I
you
know.
F
I
would
never
call
it
necessarily
a
renewed
focus,
because
it
is
something
that
they've
been
working
on
for
for
at
least
a
decade,
but
the
the
the
police
chief,
his
executive
team,
they
have
been
out
in
the
community
they've
been
holding
many
conversations
both
with
our
minority
communities
and
with
you
know,
the
city
sparks
the
sheriff's
office
and
they've
been
making
a
coordinated
outreach
effort
to
to
improve
those
relationships
and
talk
about
steps
in
that
we
might
be
able
to
take
to
to
make
for
a
more
inclusive
community.
F
It's
something
that
just
as
soon
as
it
is
safer
for
us
to
be
out
getting
together
is
is
going
to
be
a
focus
of
mine,
but
there
are
conversations
that
we
need
to
have
in
their
conversations
that
we
need
to
continue
to
have,
particularly
as
as
the
profession
of
police
work
sort
of
goes
through
this
sea
change
that
we're
all
that
we're
all
witnesses
to
in
terms
of
covenant,
relief
and
and
that
sort
of
outreach
into
our
into
our
minority
populations.
F
F
We've
made
a
particular
push
to
make
sure
that
all
messaging,
all
signage,
all
manner
of
outreach
that
we're
doing
on
that
front
is
available
in
both
english
and
spanish,
and
we
are
continuing
to
prioritize
those
populations
that
might
not
have
otherwise
had
access
or
might
not,
I
suppose,
be
as
readily
informed
of
of
the
opportunities
that
are
available
to
them.
That
is
a
focus
of
ours.
In
our
in
our
code,
relief
efforts,
yes,.
D
F
I
want
to
thank
both
of
our
presenters
for
being
here
with
us
this
morning.
It's
a
question
about
page.
C
14,
where
you
have
the
the
pie
chart
showing
revenue
sources
for
the
2021
fiscal
year
budget.
I
just
wanted
to
ask
specifically
about
business
licenses
and
the
revenue
from
that
and
wonder
if
you
just
provide
a
little
bit
of
context
in
terms
of
you
know
the
economic
shutdown
and
the
impact
there,
how
that's
just
how
that
has
impacted
business
license
revenue.
C
F
Thank
you
sure.
It's
a
I'm
sorry
again,
doug
thornley
for
the
record
through
you,
mr
chair,
to
assemblyman
matthews,
it's
down
business
licenses
and
permits
in
general.
You
know
are
our
permit
numbers.
The
valuation
is
up,
but
the
permit
numbers
themselves
are
down
business
licenses
that
is
sort
of
a
self-correcting
revenue
stream.
So
when
the
business
doesn't
make
money,
we
don't
collect
business,
license
revenue
right.
It's
a
it's,
a
sort
of
a
staggered
collection
based
on
on
grocery
seats,
and
so
it
is
down.
F
It
is
not
down,
I
would
say
catastrophically
and
I
don't
have
an
exact
percentage
for
your
dollar
figure
at
this
moment.
But
the
business
license
is
like
I
said:
we've
we've
spent
a
tremendous
amount
of
money
and
made
a
tremendous
effort
to
keep
people
working
and
keep
people
working
safe,
and
I
think
that
is
sort
of
the
message
of
this
slide
deck
and
that
we're
in
as
we're
in
a
space
where
we're
moving
forward.
C
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I've
got
two
small
questions.
Sb
73
authorizes
a
ballot
initiative
to
provide
funding
for
parks,
recreation,
open
space
and
natural
resource.
One
of
the
things
that
I
was
going
to
ask
is
that
a
is
that
a
sales
tax
or
is
that
a
property
tax,
ed
valorem?
That's
my
first
question:
can
they
answer
that.
F
Sir
doctor,
for
the
record,
through
you,
mr
chair
to
assemblyman
ellison-
and
I
will
I
will
give
you
the
to
miss
wilsey
here
in
just
a
second,
but
in
general,
what
what
that
bill
does.
F
Is
it
requests
permission
to
convene
a
committee
to
study
the
options
and
then
ask
for
the
board
of
county
commissioners
to
place
a
question
on
a
ballot,
and
so,
while
sales
tax
is
included
in
that
list,
sort
of
the
best
way
to
think
about
it,
I
think,
is
what
you
would
have
seen
through
wc1
when
we
did
the
school
capital
funding.
So
it's.
This
is
a
first
step
in
a
in
a
much
longer
process.
F
C
C
Is
there
any
hope
of
bringing
back
some
of
the
special
events
that
makes
reno
great,
like
the
car
shows
and
concerts
in
and
then
like
the
air
races?
Is
that
on
hold
for
this
year.
F
Doug
thornley
for
the
record
through
you,
mr
chair,
to
assemblyman
ellison,
I
would
not
say
that
it
is
on
hold.
I
would
say
that
our
focus
is
making
sure
that
we
bring
it
back
in
a
manner
that
is
safe
for
all
of
the
participants,
and
so
I
think
we
are
just
as
excited
as
as
you
as
sparks
as
anyone
who
participates
in
those
events
and
we'd
love
to
have
them
back
in
just
as
short
a
time
period
as
we
possibly
can.
D
Thank
you
chair.
I
apologize,
I
forgot
to
add
it
into
the
chat
there,
but
thank
you
for
working
with
me
and
thank
you
to
the
city
of
arena
for
your
presentation.
I
do
appreciate
your
fair
presentation.
I'm
just
wondering
if
you
could
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
the
testing
efforts.
D
F
Of
course,
doug
thornley
for
the
record
through
you,
mr
chair,
so
vice
chair
for
us.
What
we
have
been
doing
is
is
we've
been
down
on
the
river
we've
spent.
We
we
spent
the
the
amount
escapes
me,
but
it
exceeds
two
million
dollars
to
expand
testing
capabilities
in
in
washoe
county,
and
so
we
contracted
with
walgreens
and
we
bought
up
sort
of
all
of
their
capacity
to
to
test,
and
we've
made
it
free
to
to
all
of
the
citizens
here
in
washoe
county.
So
all
they
have
to
do
is
make
an
appointment.
F
They
show
up,
they
get
tested
and
they
have
their
results
in
just
a
few
hours
and,
of
course,
our
our
hospital
partners,
our
medical
partners,
have
been
have
been
grinding
away
and
doing
what
they
can
to
increase
their
capacities
as
well,
and
so
what
we've
been
doing
is
we've
been
down
communicating
those
opportunities.
We've
been
making
sure
that
people
have
access
to
those
resources.
F
You
know
when
we,
when
we
get
it
in
we're
able
to
push
it
out
in
conjunction
with
with
the
governor's
tears
or
his
lanes
and
the
tears
within
the
lanes.
But
the
you
know
that
is
largely
held
up
by
by
inventory
and
as
we
get
into
those
those
populations
that
are
part
of
the
public
and
not
specifically
identified
on
those
in
those
tiers
and
in
those
lanes.
F
We
will
be
pushing
out
that
that
communication
effort
will
be
making
sure
that
folks
know
where
the
central
locations
are
to
get
those
those
vaccines
and
when
the
days
and
times
are
available
to
to
get
the
shots
in
arms.
D
Thank
you,
and-
and
so
it
would
just
seem
to
me,
though,
that
one
of
the
barriers
and
that's
coming
to
my
mind
is
that
if
I
was
homeless
that
I
might
not
have
access
to
the
technology
necessary
to
call
to
schedule
an
appointment
for
a
vaccine
to
get
tested-
and
I'm
probably
I'm
not
going
to
have
access
to
computer
to
do
that
as
well.
F
Doug
thornley
for
the
record
for
you,
mr
chair,
to
vice
chair
torrez.
We
are
running
into
the
problem
you
just
described
with
with
sort
of
a
multitude
of
vulnerable
populations,
and
we
are,
we
lean
heavily
of
course
on
on
the
nonprofit
world,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
our
unsheltered
populations.
F
But
what
we're
doing
right
now
is
working
on
identifying,
like
I
said,
central
locations,
whether
that's
at
a
fire
station
or
some
other
point
in
the
community
and
getting
information
into
folks
hands
so
that
they
can
either
go
there
or
place
just
a
simple
phone
call
and
and
get
on
a
on
a
list
to
be
vaccinated.
F
They
said
it's,
it's
not
unique!
That
issue
is
not
unique
to
the
unsheltered
population,
but
it
is
something
that's
on
our
radar
screen
and
it
is
something
that
we're
working
through
in
terms
of
what's
the
best
way
and
the
most
efficient
way
for
us
to
get
our
arms
around
all
of
those
populations
and
get
them
on
a
list
to
get
vaccinated.
B
I
just
had
a
quick
question
to
follow
up
on
the
topic
that
was
previously
brought
up.
I
know:
there's
a
there's.
Some
members
of
the
nevada
legislative
caucus
have
been
in
a
task
force
to
try
to
identify
some
of
the
concerns
we've
had
with
kovit
and
getting
it
into
the
community,
and
I
know
having
that
information
in
spanish
has
been
crucial
and
at
times
difficult
to
do.
I'm
just
curious
to
know.
You
mentioned
that
you're.
Putting
a
lot
of
that
information
out
there
in
spanish.
F
So
the
way
doug
thrown
into
the
record
chair
flores,
the
way
we've
been
handling
communications
as
it
relates
to
the
pandemic
in
general,
is,
is
through
the
regional
information
center
we've
been
coordinating
messaging
with
our
partners
in
washoe
county
sparks
and
the
and
the
health
district.
F
Here
in
reno
we
have
a
person
who
is,
she
is
an
independent
contractor,
but
she
translates
all
of
our
work
into
spanish
and
make
sure
that
it's,
accurate
and
and
is
is
pushed
out
into
the
community.
The
broader
communications
plan,
with
with
our
other
groups,
did
include
translation
into
spanish
as
as
part
of
that
plan
from
from
the
get-go,
so
we
are
not
alone
in
that
endeavor,
but
in
reno
in
particular,
we
do
focus
on
making
sure
all
of
our
communications
are
available
in
english
and
spanish.
B
B
Question.
Thank
you
again.
Thank
you
both
for
for
the
presentation
and
I
we
look
forward
to
working
with.
Alongside
of
you
as
session
progresses,
please
reach
out
with
any
questions.
Members
make
sure
you
utilize
them
as
a
resource,
but
then
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
close
out.
The
presentation
from
the
city
of
reno
and
next
we'd
like
to
invite
miss
king
from
clark
county,
we'll
open
up
the
presentation
from
clark
county
good
morning
and
welcome.
A
Good
morning,
mr
chair,
this
is
joanna
jacob,
I'm
government
affairs
manager,
I'm
just
I'm
going
to
be
sharing
my
screen
before
manager
screen
manager.
King
begins
the
presentation.
So
if
you'll
just
stand
by,
we
do
have
a
powerpoint
presentation
and
manager.
King
will
be
delivering
the
bulk
of
it.
A
G
E
E
I
have
jessica
coleman,
our
chief
financial
officer
and
kevin
schiller
assistant,
county
manager
and,
as
mentioned
joanna
jacob,
who
is
our
government
affairs
manager
moving
on
to
the
next
slide?
I
just
want
to
briefly
cover
the
governance
structure
for
clark
county.
It
is
a
commission,
a
county
manager
forum
government,
whereby
it
includes
seven
commissioners
that
are
elected
on
a
partisan
basis
that
are
elected
on
a
partisan
basis.
E
These
seven
elected
commissioners
in
turn
hire
a
county
manager
who
is
responsible
for
directing
the
day-to-day
operation
organization
and
serves
at
the
pleasure
of
the
board
the
seven
county
commissioners.
They
do
cover
a
geographical
area
of
8,
000
plus
square
miles,
which
essentially
spans
from
the
utah
arizona
and
california
state
lines,
as
well
as
over
to
the
now
nine
town
county
line.
E
The
seven
represented
commissioners
for
clark
county
are
noted
on
this
slide
and
then
think
their
names
are
listed,
starting
from
left
to
right.
The
government
structure
structure
for
clark
county
also
includes
other
elected
officials
such
as
a
recorder,
treasurer
assessor
constables
and
the
sheriff's
office,
and
we
are
structured
under
mrs
chapter
244
and
then
there's
also
various
county
codes
that
also
dictate
what
the
policies
and
the
structure
are
for
the
county.
E
Moving
on
to
the
next
slide,
the
community
of
clark
county,
it
includes
14
unincorporated
towns
that
includes
urban
as
well
as
rural
areas.
We
do
include,
or
have
five
incorporated
cities
within
clark
county
with
a
population
of
over
2.3
million
residents.
E
Excuse
me
2.3
million
residents
and
is
the
most
populous
on
county
in
the
state
of
nevada,
with
over
75
percent
of
residents
residing
in
clark
county
clark
county
is
the
13th
largest
county
by
population
in
the
united
states.
As
we
move
to
the
next
slide.
This
map
shows
a
an
aerial
view
of
clark
county.
It
includes
the
incorporated
areas.
E
Moving
on
to
the
next
slide,
the
clark
county
population
is
represented
by
five
cities
as
well
as
an
unincorporated
area.
There
are
a
little
more
than
one
million
residents
or
45
percent
of
the
clark
county's
population
that
resides
in
unincorporated
areas
of
the
county,
and
if
the
unincorporated
areas
of
clark
county
were
incorporated
into
a
city,
clark
county
would
be
the
largest
populated
city
in
nevada
and
the
11th
largest
in
the
nation.
E
Please
note
that
the
unincorporated
areas
are
important
to
to
note
on
this
slide,
because
it's
clark
county
as
a
jurisdiction,
I'm
who
is
responsible
for
providing
those
municipal-like
services
to
those
residents
who
live
in
an
in
and
none
unincorporated
area
and
then
the
incorporated
areas.
Obviously,
those
cities
are
responsible
for
providing
services
to
those
residents
who
live
within
those
cities.
E
Moving
on
to
the
next
slide,
just
a
quick
overview,
I'm
going
to
continuing
on
with
the
overview
of
our
county.
This
slide
shows
that
county
commissioners
serve
as
governing
bodies
for
several
boards
and
districts,
and
those
are
noted
on
the
right
hand,
side
of
your
slate
on
screen
the
next
slide
clark
county's
economic
driver
includes
tourism
and
includes
gaming,
and
is
one
of
the
top
convention
destinations
in
the
world
prior
to
the
pandemic.
Clark
county
was
the
number
one
trade
show
destination
in
north
america
for
24
consecutive
years
and
prior
to
the
pandemic.
E
In
2019
clark,
county
attracted
over
42
million
chores
to
our
valley
and,
as
we
all
know,
it
is
home
to
the
world
famous
las
vegas
strip.
It
includes
the
room
inventory
of
over
160
000
rooms,
and
it
includes
17
of
the
20
largest
hotels
in
the
united
states
and
11
and
11
of
20
of
the
largest
hotels
in
the
world.
E
E
E
The
next
slide
you
will.
You
may
remember
that,
in
a
presentation
that
was
provided
by
enaco
to
this
committee,
I
believe
either
a
week
or
two
ago,
it
was
noted
that
every
nevadan
in
the
county
or
every
excuse
me
every
nevadan-
is
a
county
resident
and
that's
the
same,
I'm
here
in
clark
county.
So
every
southern
nevada
resident
is
a
clark
county
resident
the
counties
in
nevada
and
again
not
different
here
in
clark
county.
E
They
all
provide
regional
as
well
as
municipal
services,
clark
county,
also,
in
addition
to
providing
those
regional
and
municipal
services
to
our
residents.
We
also
may
extend
those
services
to
visitors
who
come
into
our
community
on
a
regular
basis,
and
so,
as
noted
in
the
previous
slide,
your
municipal
services
are
provided
to
more
than
1
000
residents.
E
What
this
chart
illustrates
is
it
lists
departments
that
were
noted
in
the
previous
slide
and
divide
them
into
the
types
of
services
they
are
responsible
for
providing
departments
listed
on
the
left-hand
side
of
the
screen
are
those
departments
that
provide
regional
services
to
all
2.3
million
residents
and
the
departments
listed
on
the
right
hand.
Side
of
the
screen
are
departments
that
are
responsible
for
providing
municipal
services
to
the
1
million
plus
residents
who
live
in
unincorporated
areas
of
park
county
on
the
next
slide.
E
We
have
listed
for
you
the
clark
county
general
fund
revenue
framework
and
the
revenues
that
are
generated
as
part
of
our
general
fund,
and
it's
important
to
note
that
the
taxing
authority
for
a
significant
portion
of
the
revenues
that
are
collected
by
clark
county
general
by
the
clark
county
general
fund
are
governed
by
state
by
the
state
legislature
and
any
changes.
E
E
Financial
over
financial
overview
is
that
the
county's
budget
for
fiscal
year
21,
the
annual
total
budget,
is
9.1
billion
dollars,
and
that
includes
all
of
our
38
departments,
as
well
as
other
agencies
that
are
listed
on
the
slide
like
metropolitan
police
department,
mccarran
airport
and
the
university
medical
center.
E
A
significant
portion
of
the
9.1
billion
dollar
budget
is
considered
non-discretionary,
meaning
that
much
of
the
money
that's
collected
from
various
funds
are
collected
for
a
specific
purpose
and
must
be
spent
on
those
specific
purposes
as
mandated
either
by
the
state
or
federal
requirements.
E
The
general
fund
budget
is
considered
a
discretionary
fund
and
it
is
the
general
operating
fund
of
the
county.
The
general
fund
budget
is
one
point
four
billion
dollars
and
is
approximately
15
percent
of
our
total
budget,
and
a
significant
portion
of
the
regional
and
municipal
services
is
accounted
for
in
our
general
fund
budget.
E
Many
departments
excuse
me
and,
in
addition
to
that,
many
of
the
department
budgets
are
included
in
the
general
fund,
but
also
any
payments
out
to
jurisdictions
for
which
we're
responsible
for
providing
funding
for
also
come
out
of
the
county,
general
fund
and
discussions
going
forward
with
regard
to
the
county
budget.
In
this
presentation
I
will
focus
on
the
general
fund,
particularly
since
that
is
our
general
operating
fund
of
the
county
on
the
next
slide.
These
are
the
general
fund
revenues
that
are
collected
by
the
county
and
so
for
fiscal
year.
E
21,
the
general
fund
revenues
total
1.3
billion
dollars,
the
largest
revenue
source
for
the
county
journal
fund
comes
from
property
tax
revenue
at
39
percent
and
the
second
largest
revenue
is
consolidated,
taxes,
which
is
primarily
made
up
of
sales
tax
collections
and
that's
at
36,
based
on
the
decline
in
sales.
Tax
revenues
on
property
taxes
and
consolidated
taxes
have
essentially
traded
places
for
a
very
long
period
of
time.
The
consolidated
tax
collected
in
our
journal
fund.
E
H
E
Also,
I
wanted
to
make
note
that
in
2019
our
room
tax
collections
obviously
fell
dramatically
because
of
the
pandemic,
and
although
the
county
journal
fund,
the
amount
of
roon
taxes
that
are
collected
in
this
fund
is
insignificant.
Most
of
our
room
tax
revenues
that
are
collected
are
in
other
non-general
funds.
I
just
wanted
to
make
note
that
room
tax
collections,
poor
clark
county,
was
729
million
dollars
in
2019
and
a
great
deal
of
that
amount.
35
percent
was
allocated
to
the
clark
county
school
district.
E
We
have
been
and
are
experiencing
to
date,
a
decline
of
about
64
of
our
room
tax
collection,
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
note
of
the
you
know.
E
The
cliented
room
tax
and
the
continuation
of
that
decline
may
at
some
point
impact
our
county
general
fund,
as
well
as
other
funds,
simply
because
the
county
is
responsible
for
the
two
point:
billion
dollars
in
outstanding
bonds
that
are
paid
with
green
taxes,
and
so
what's
very
also
important
for
us
is
that
the
bonds
that
are
paid
for
by
room
tax
dollars
or
with
or
revenues
they
are
geo,
backed
bonds
on
by
the
county,
and
so
we
are
paying
very
close
attention
to
what
that
looks
like,
because,
obviously
we
want
to
get
into
a
situation
where
the
county
is
having
to
pay
for
debt
service
related
to
those
bonds
that
are
backed
by
the
county.
E
Moving
on
to
the
next
slide,
the
this
pie
chart
illustrates
the
general
fund
expenditures,
clark,
county
general
fund
expenditures
are
budgeted
at
1.4
billion
dollars,
of
which
50
of
those
expenditures
are
budgeted
for
towards
the
public
safety
function.
E
50
of
the
public
safety
function
includes
two
slices
that
are
shown
here
on
this
pie.
Chart
you
have
the
public
safety
function
at
16.4
percent
and
those
includes
include
departments
such
as
juvenile
justice
and
family
services
and
then
there's
a
separate
slice
for
which
the
county
is
responsible
for
providing
funds
to
the
metropolitan
police
department,
as
well
as
the
clark
county,
detention
center,
so
las
vegas
metropolitan
police
and
they
are
responsible
for
providing
those
policing
services
to
the
residents.
I'm
within
the
unincorporated
clark
county
area.
E
Clark
county
is
responsible
for
paying
a
hundred
percent
of
the
expenditures
for
the
clark
county
detention
and,
as
I
noted
earlier,
there
are
other
jurisdictions
that
include
providing
a
subsidy
to
the
university
medical
center,
as
well
as
some
intergovernmental
transfer
payments
that
are
paid
to
the
state
for
state
matching
for
medicaid
funding
that
comes
back
down
to
the
university
medical
center
on
the
next
slide.
We
did.
E
I
have
mentioned
that
you
know
based
on
the
pandemic,
I
mean
this
caused
a
dramatic
decline
in
the
consolidated
revenues
and
that
it
is
estimated
that
we
will
experience
about
139
million
dollar
loss
in
consolidated
tax
revenues
over
the
next
three
period.
E
Three
years,
moving
on
I'd
like
to
switch
courses
a
little
bit
and
I'd
like
to
talk
about
what
clark
county
has
done
with
regard
to
the
public
health
response,
and
it
should
also
be
noted
that
the
southern
nevada
health
district
is
the
designated
lead
agency
for
addressing
the
pandemic
here
in
clark
county.
E
However,
clark
county
is
partnered
with
the
southern
nevada
health
district
and
we
quickly
activated
what
we
call
our
multi-agency,
coordinated
council
or
the
mac,
as
you
may
have
heard,
and
that
was
a
framework
that
we
had
set
up
during
the
one
october
incident.
So
over
the
next
few
slides.
I
would
like
to
focus
on
what
clark
county's
response
has
been
to
the
pandemic
and
keeping
in
mind
that
this
has
been
working
hand
in
hand
in
partnership
with
the
southern
nevada
health
district.
E
So
this
slide
shows
that
clark
county
received
295
million
dollars
in
direct
carers.
Funding
and
given
that
the
county
is
the
social
safety
net
for
residents
in
clark
county,
the
board
of
county
commissioners
early
on
set
a
budget
and
prioritize
the
expenditure
of
these
funds,
the
prioritization
up
for
the
board
was
to
make
sure
that
as
much
of
the
funds
that
were
received
by
the
county
were
dedicated
to
our
residents,
particularly
in
the
human
services
on
type
of
expenses.
E
This
chart
shows
that,
as
of
december
30th
of
2020
that
we
had
spent
275
million
of
the
295
million
that
was
received
by
the
county
with
over
46
percent
dedicated
to
human
services,
payments
included
as
part
of
the
human
services
category
include
housing
and
utility
assistance.
It
included
basic
needs
assistance
which
would
include
addressing
food,
insecurities
emergency
shelter,
programs
and
programming
for
financial
support
for
working
families
to
assist
with
distance
learning.
E
Now,
while
the
295
million
dollars
was
directly
received
by
the
county,
and
at
that
time
we
were
on
track
to
spend
the
full
295
million
by
the
end
of
december
of
2020.
However,
we
did
and
receive
additional
funding,
as
well
as
that
deadline
for
the
this
set
of
carers.
E
Monies
was
extended,
but
we
were
on
track
to
spend
the
full
295
million
dollars
that
was
required
at
that
time
in
mid-december,
then
also,
I
want
to
make
a
special
note
that
you
know
all
of
the
programs
that
are
listed
on
this
chart
that
roughly
about
10
million
of
the
295
million
dollars
that
was
received
by
clark
county
only
about
10
million
of
that
was
used
for
payroll
salary
and
benefit
reimbursements
to
our
for
for
our
county
payroll.
E
So,
as
you
can
see,
a
majority
of
the
dollars
that
we
received
did
go
to
assist
the
community
moving
on
to
the
next
slide.
I
just
also
wanted
to
point
out
over
the
next
three
sides
or
demonstrate
some
of
the
outcomes
that
were
achieved
with
the
use
of
the
cares
funding
clark
county
in
coordination
again
with
the
southern
nevada
health
district
stood
up
on
community-wide
testing.
E
We
staffed
these
sites,
we
administered
close
to
500
000
tests
and
to
help
extend,
expand
the
testing
capacity
in
clark
county.
We
paid
for
242
000
tests
that
were
administered
the
most
notable
achievement
with
these
funds.
Moving
on
to
the
middle
column
was
that
the
funds
were
provided
to
stand
up.
E
The
cares
funding
was
also
used
in
that
last
column,
to
provide
support
to
our
small
businesses
within
the
county.
We
offered
three
types
of
grant
programs
that
included
rental
assistance,
business
stabilization
as
well
as
retro
grants.
There
was
an
outreach
unprovided
to
over
3
000
small
businesses.
E
When
we
talk
about
our
human
services
with
regard
to
housing,
assistance,
clark,
county
provided
over
16
000
households
with
rental
assistance
and
over
63
000
utility
payments
were
paid,
clark
county
also
stood
up
a
hispanic
outreach
campaign
that
reached
over
30
million
views,
and
then,
incidentally,
we
are
also
moving
forward
with
that
same
campaign
to
have
the
hispanic
outreach
on
the
vaccine
side
of
the
house
as
well.
E
E
What
was
also
notable
was
that
we
stood
up
in
partnership
with
the
city
of
las
vegas,
what
we
call
an
isoq
or
isolation
quarantine
center,
and
that
was
provided
for
our
homeless
population
to
be
able
to
quarantine
and
also
house
the
homeless
population,
where
the
capacity
was
greatly
reduced
in
areas
where
they
were
in
other
non-profit
facilities
that
didn't
no
longer
have
the
capacity
to
house
the
homeless
population
and
then
on
the
next
slide.
E
I
wanted
to
point
out
that
clark
county
stood
up
what
we
call
our
school
days
program,
which
assisted
over
900
families
in
the
county
by
providing
recreational
center
sites
to
be
able
to
provide
learning
programs
to
assist
working
families
with
distance
learning
to
offset
the
cost
for
these
families
enrolled
in
the
school
days
program.
E
The
county
did
provide
financial
assistance
for
those
who
qualified
under
the
school,
district's
free
and
reduced
lunch
program,
as
well
as
we
provided
financial
assistance
on
to
our
working
foster
families,
so
that
they
may
be
able
to
send
some
of
our
foster
children
to
the
school
days
program.
E
Moving
over
to
the
middle
column,
there
was
additional
emergency
leasing
and
shelter
services
that
were
needed
for
our
families.
So,
for
instance,
you
may
have
had
a
situation
or
many
situations
where
someone
tested
positive,
but
it
did
not
require
hospitalization
and
those
individuals
or
families
needed
sheltering,
and
in
some
cases
you
had
individuals
where
they
were
living
in
the
same
household
and
one
member
tested
positive.
E
We
also
provided
emergency
leasing
sheltering
services
to
again
our
homeless
individuals
and
also
what
was
kind
of
brought
on
early
on
in
the
pandemic
was
that
we
needed
to
provide
sheltering
for
our
chores
and
so
prior
to
the
shutdown
and
even
after
the
shutdown
as
we
began
to
open.
If
we
had
tours
that
tested
positive,
obviously
they
weren't
able
to
go
back
to
their
hotel
site
and
most
likely
not
able
to
get
on
a
plane
or
and
go
back
home.
E
We
needed
to
provide
sheltering
on
emergency
phases
for
our
tourists
that
came
into
our
community
and
then.
Lastly,
the
last
column
shows
that
clark
county
provided
sub
awards
to
all
the
cities,
except
the
city
of
las
vegas,
as
they
did
receive
their
own
direct
funding
appears
on
dollars,
and
this
just
highlights
at
a
high
level
of
how
those
cities
spent
those
sub
awards
moving
on
to
the
next
slide.
E
This
also
provides
for
you.
You
know
what
we're
looking
at
going
forward
with
regard
to
any
federal
funds
that
are
received
for
to
address
the
pandemic,
so
clark
county
originally
received,
as
I
mentioned,
295
million
dollars
in
careers
funding
and
we
spent
275
at
the
end
of
december,
and
we
had
about
20
million
remaining
and
the
intent
was
for
those
dollars
to
be
used
for
our
housing
arm
assistance
program.
E
You
may
have
heard
of
the
chap
housing
program,
it's
the
cares,
housing
assistance
program,
and
so
the
remaining
dollars
of
the
first
of
federal
funding
under
the
cares
program
will
be
used
for
for
housing
assistance
in
2020.
The
federal
government
did
pass
a
consolidated
appropriations
act
to
provide
additional
rental
assistance
on
to
the
state,
as
well
as
clark
county
in
the
cities.
E
Moving
on
to
the
next
slide,
I
think
it's
important
to
note
that
the
first
allocation
of
piers
money
we
we
ended
up
the
year
with
over
12
000
applications
in
the
queue,
so
we
were
able
to
profit
applications
prior
to
the
end
of
december
30th
of
2020.
However,
at
the
end
of
the
year
there
were
still
over
12
000
rental
assistance
applications
remaining
in
the
queue
since
january,
1
of
2021
we've
received
an
additional
8
000
of
households,
who've
applied
for
rental
assistance,
and
that's
that's
averaged
about
a
hundred.
E
Excuse
me
one
thousand
applications
per
week
and
as
we
mentioned
previously,
the
the
you
know
in
partnership
with
the
cities
we've
all
combined
or
we
do
plan
to
combine
all
the
dollars
that
we
received
under
the
appropriations
act
and
apply
that
162
million
dollar
allocation
for
rental
assistance,
and
we
estimate
that
the
162
million
dollar
allocation
will
address
the
20
000
rental
assistance,
applications
that
are
currently
in
the
queue
and
we
will
be
able
to
provide
an
additional
20
000
applications
that
are
anticipated
to
to
fill
up
the
queue.
E
So
in
total,
the
162
million
dollars
is
anticipated
to
be
able
to
provide
assistance
to
close
to
40
000
households,
chair
flores,
I'm
on
the
next
slide.
I
don't
anticipate
or
plan
on
going
over
these
sites
unless
there
are
questions,
but
we
just
wanted
to
point
out
to
you
that
the
county
we
do
have
four
legislative
bills
and
if
you
or
any
of
the
committee
members
have
any
specific
questions
related
to
those
legislative
bills,
joanna
jacob
is
available.
E
I'm
either
today
or
any
or
at
another
time
to
be
able
to
answer
questions.
But
I
didn't
want
to
get
into
any
details
unless
it's
the
pleasure
of
the
committee
so
with
that
chairman
floors.
That
concludes
my
presentation
for
today
and
I'm
open
to
any
questions
that
you
or
the
canadian
may
have.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
for
your
presentation
members.
As
always,
I
ask
that
we
refrain
from
asking
any
questions
relating
to
any
particular
piece
of
legislation.
We'll
have
an
opportunity
to
vet
that
at
a
later
time,
however,
any
other
question
at
this
point
is
fair
game.
I
know
it's
such
a
broad
presentation,
but
we'll
do
what
we
can
here
so
we'll
start
off
with.
Madam
vice
chair.
D
I
I've
definitely
seen
that
the
work
that
our
county
employees
and
the
all
public
officials
in
the
county
as
well
are
doing
to
ensure
that
we're
providing
information
and
access
to
resources,
specifically
the
disbursement
of
the
county
grants,
I
know,
has
played
a
phenomenal
role
in
ensuring
that
our
community
had
food
and
rental
assistance.
So
I
really
do
appreciate
the
work
that
you're
doing.
My
question
is
specific
to
the
hmis
system
and
I
can't
remember
what
I
think
it's
the
human
management
system
that
is
used
by
the
county.
D
My
understanding
is
that
there
is
a
portion
of
the
hmis
system
that
requires
a
social
security
number
just
for
and
we've
talked
about
this
off
the
record,
but
it
just
requires
like
a
personal,
identifying
number
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
there's
been
a
push
for
us
to
cut
the
language
out
of
there,
so
that
there's
no
longer
that
requirement
for
a
social
security
number,
but
maybe
a
cell
phone
number,
some
other
type
of
identifying
information
that
we
could
use.
That's
easier
for
individuals
to
try.
D
I
understand
that
the
the
reason
may
be
behind
that,
but
obviously
state
grants
don't
require
an
individual
to
have
a
social
security
number
to
receive
and
there's
many
families
that
might
not
even
be
comfortable
sharing
on
that
information
with
the
counties.
I'm
just
wondering
if
there's
been
any
push
for
us
to
kind
of
eliminate
that
and
train
organizations
so
that
that's
no
longer
a
part
of
that
the
process
of
receiving
assistance.
E
This
is
yolanda
king,
representing
clark
county
through
you,
chairman
flores,
I'm
to
the
vice
chair.
I
would
like
to
ask
kevin
schiller,
our
assistant
county
manager,
to
address
that
question.
G
Good
morning
for
the
record
kevin
schiller
assistant,
county
manager
through
the
chair
to
the
vice
chair,
as
you
probably
know,
as
we
rolled
out
rental
assistance
and
the
non-profit
funds,
the
hmis
piece
has
always
been
a
central
piece
of
how
we
track
part
of
the
issue
that
was
tied
to
that.
G
Initially
is
depending
on
what
federal
funds
we
were
utilizing,
pre-cares,
that's
where
that
came
from,
and
we
were
able
to
eliminate
that
in
the
rental
assistance
component,
and
I
would
also
echo
we're
actually
trying
to
merge
our
hmis
system
into
state
welfare
working
with
the
state
right
now
to
create
a
consolidated
effort.
But
to
your
point
and
I'll:
just
use
the
diverse
population,
hispanic
population,
estas
tusmanos.
G
As
an
example,
one
of
the
key
issues
we
ran
into
is
obviously
we
had
high
testing
positivity
rates
and
a
lot
of
barriers
to
eliminate
for
access
to
both
testing
and
we're
also
looking
towards
that
with
vaccinations.
So
we
have
been
able
to
through
use
of
evaluating
the
treasury
guidance,
remove
where
those
requirements
are
and
we'll
continue
to
do
that
as
we
move
forward
as
more
funds
come
available.
So
we
basically
identified
that
in
the
onset
as
a
barrier
and
I've
continued
to
address
it.
D
And
my
understanding
goes
that
the
hmia
system
is
used
for
other
programs
as
well.
So
while
I
appreciate
that
it
has
been
like
that,
question
has
been
eliminated
from
that
rental
assistance
application.
I
believe,
then,
that
it
would
still
be
a
part
of
other
state
funded
grants
on
that
the
county
is
using.
So
I'm
just
wondering
if
there's
been
an
initiative
like,
I
guess,
make
that
more
mainstream
right,
so
that
if
something
is
a
federal
grant,
perhaps
that
requirement
is
still
there.
G
To
answer
your
question
directly,
that
is
exactly
what
our
I.t
staff
have
been
working
on
is
to
curtail
that
to
the
funding
source,
so
that
we
have
flexibility
to
do
so
and
since
we're
on
the
topic
with
hmis
the
other
piece,
I
would
echo
with
the
second
allotment
of
rental
assistance
funding.
Obviously,
the
treasury
guidance
is
more
prohibitive
in
terms
of
how
we
can
utilize
those
dollars
and
eligibility,
so
we
actually
have
been
utilizing.
G
D
And
do
we
have
a
happen
to
have
a
timeline
for
that
of
when
the
hmis
system
should
be
updated
so
that
you
can
curtail
it
to
the
funding
source.
G
It's
in
process
now
we
can
remove
fields
in
the
current
structure.
So
that's
one
of
the
pieces
that
we're
working
on
with
ibm
and
that
support.
There
are
two
different
programs,
so
that's
one
of
the
challenges
that
we
have,
but
we're
attempting
to
roll
out
our
new
rental
assistance
program
within
the
week
and
we're
hoping
to
have
hmis
centered
around
that
also
at
the
same
time,
but
I
can
give
you
an
update
offline.
Also,
so
you're
looked
in.
A
Thank
you,
chair
flores,
miss
king.
You
talked
a
little
bit.
You
touched
on.
The
outreach
for
the
community
has
for
the
hispanic
community
about
culvin.
My
question
is
what
efforts
are
being.
E
Made
to
reach
out
to
the
undocumented
community
in
order
for
them
to
be
to
get
their
covert
vaccine.
E
Well,
yes,
this
is
yolanda
king,
representing
clark
county
and
I
chair
flores
through
you
to
the
assemblywoman
I
can.
I
would
like
to
turn
this
over
also
to
kevin
schiller.
I
believe
that
the
outreach
for
the
undocumented
community
has
been
included
and
we've
not
you,
know,
steered
away
or
deteriorated
from
the
sos
to
its
models
on
campaign,
but
kevin
can
elaborate
on
that.
G
For
the
record
kevin
schiller
assistant,
county
manager,
through
the
chair
to
assembly,
woman,
martinez,
yes
to
echo,
miss
king's
components,
estas
tusmana,
says
you're
aware-
was
very
focused
on
kind
of
three
areas.
One
was
testing.
The
second
was
tied
to
rental
assistance
on
both
ends.
G
What
we
did
do
is
we
have
utilized
funding
from
that
original
cares
allocation
to
support
the
continued
marketing
campaign
that
is
actually
actively
in
development
right
now,
tied
to
the
vaccinations
for
the
undocumented
population
and
removing
those
barriers.
As
you
know,
there's
tears
in
terms
of
how
you
can
be
tested.
G
I'm
sure
everybody
has
heard
that
so
what
we
are
doing
is
actively
working
with
erika
velas
and
her
company,
who
are
essentially
creating
the
marketing
and
the
branding,
which
will
be
a
little
bit
curtailed
more
to
the
vaccination
and
also
looking
at
where
we
can
advertise
and
market
that
to
get
down
to
the
grassroots
level.
H
H
Do
we
have
the
numbers
for
foreclosures
at
this
at
this
time?
How
is
it
affecting
that
39.1
percent
of
revenue
that
we're
expecting
for
property
tax
and
what,
if
anything,
is
being
done
for
homeowners
to
keep
their
homes?
I
understand
that
we
have
rental
insistence
and
that's
great,
but
what
are
we
doing
for
homeowners
that
contribute
to
property
tax?
E
Hi,
this
is
yolanda
king,
representing
clark
county
through
your
chair,
two
of
the
assembly
woman,
the
in
terms
of
the
foreclosure
currently
in
the
in
the
community.
We
are
not
seeing
where
the
foreclosures
is
currently
an
issue
in
the
community,
and
so
that's
not
to
say
that
going
forward.
We
won't
see
what
the
effects
of
that
looks
like
this
generally
lags.
E
We
thought,
maybe
a
year
later,
that
we
would
start
to
see
what
that
looks
like,
but
we've
not
experienced.
You
know
a
high
level
of
foreclosure
in
the
community.
E
Also
with
the
allocation
of
the
cares
monies
the
first
allocation
I'll
call
it.
It
did
include
assistance
for
mortgage
assistance,
but
that's
not
the
case
with
the
appropriations
act,
money
that
we've
heard
that
we
currently
will
be
receiving
that
those
monies
are
dedicated
to
rental
assistance,
but
we
were
able
to
assist
in
the
first
bunch
of
federal
monies
to
address
the
the
mortgage
side
of
it,
not
just
rental
assistance,
but
also
mortgage
and
moving
forward.
E
You
know
we
were
also
paying
close
attention
to
this
revenue
source
because,
again
the
the
lag
in
the
receipt
and
the
reduction
of
property
tax
revenue.
We
were
anticipating
that,
as
we
go
into
the
fiscal
year
22
budget
that
we
would
see
the
values
declining,
particularly
on
the
commercial
side,
we
are
have
not
or
did
not
experience
a
significant
decline
in
the
assessed
evaluation
on
the
residential
nor
on
the
commercial
side,
so
that
the
estimated
revenues
for
property
taxes
we're
not
anticipating,
especially
going
into
fiscal
22,
for
a
decline
on
those
revenues.
E
We
are
currently
going
through
right
now.
The
appeal
process
for
assessed
evaluations
on
the
residential
and
the
commercial
side.
We
initially
had
anticipated,
probably
receiving
tens
of
thousands
of
appeals,
much
like
what
we
saw
in
the
great
recession,
but
we
did
not
see
the
number
of
appeals
that
were
anticipated
or
you
know,
property
owners
would
dispute
what
their
values
were,
and
I
think
that's
related
to
probably
because
there
wasn't
a
significant
drop
at
all.
In
fact,
the
assessed
values
have
increased
or
anticipated
and
have
been
increasing
on
the
property
tax
side.
E
So
I
hope
that
answers
other
questions.
It's
kind
of
just
still
up
in
the
air
with
regard
to
the
assistance
that
may
be
needed
in
the
future,
and
obviously
we
will
work
through
what
that
looks
like
for
our
community.
If
we
start
to
see
an
increase
in
foreclosure
and
hopefully
there
will
be
some
federal
assistance
provided
to
us
as
those
families.
Thank
you.
H
Thank
you,
miss
king.
I
just
want
to
be
reassured
that
you'll,
let
this
body
know
what
those
numbers
look
like
within
the
next
three
to
six
months,
because
you
know
I
I'm
really
concerned,
because
if
people
needed
rental
insur
assistance,
I
would
think
that
homeowners
are
in
the
same
predicament
and
we
really
need
the
numbers
and
to
see
what
we
can
do
to
assist
these
homeowners.
H
I
I
really
don't
want
to
wait,
and
you
know,
like
the
great
recession
happened.
You
know
it
caught
a
lot
of
people
by
surprise
and
then
we
were
in
the
the
cleanup
mode,
and
you
know
I
appreciate
your
explanation
and
your
you
know
assurance
it
does
give
me
room
to
relax
a
little
bit,
but
if
you
could
just
keep
us
abreast
of
the
data
as
you
get
it,
I
would
appreciate
that.
Thank
you.
B
I
don't
know
if
miss
king,
if
you
wanted
to
respond,
I
know
that
it
was
just
a
quick
follow-up
comment
with
that:
we'll
go
to
assemblywoman
consonant.
A
Thank
you,
chairman
flores,
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation,
as
an
assembly
member
who
represents
mostly
my
district,
is
mostly
not
incorporated
clark
county.
I
really
appreciate
all
of
this
and
I
would
like
to
go
for
towards
a
question
about
the
bonds
earlier
on.
E
We've
also
issued
for
projects
that
occur
on
the
las
vegas
strip
area
and
then
also
one
of
the
other
largest,
probably
half
of
what
the
bonds
we
have
outstanding
would
include
the
stadium
authority.
E
E
We
try
to
make
sure
that
we
have
more
than
one
one
and
a
half
times
coverage
for
instances
like
this,
where
there
might
be
a
decline,
a
significant
declining
revenue,
and
then
we
also
try
to
make
sure
that
our
funds
or
reserve
funds
are
include
funding
so
that,
if,
for
whatever
reason,
revenues
decline
that
we're
able
to
provide
debt
service
payments
to
kind
of
weather,
the
storm
for
lack
of
a
better
term,
and
so
those
are
really
the
three
main
sources
for
which
the
the
two
plus
billion
dollars
in
bonds
have
been
allocated
for
the
las
vegas
convention
authority,
like
I
said
transportation
or
projects
on
the
las
vegas
trip
area,
as
well
as
the
stadium
bonds,
are
included
in
that
we
are
obviously
paying
very
close
attention.
E
We,
like
I
said
having
the
additional
coverage
as
well
as
the
reserve
funds,
will
kind
of
help
us
weather
through
this.
But
if
this
continues
any
you
know
longer
extended
into
the
future.
We
obviously
are
going
to
have
some
issues
to
face,
because
then
your
reserves
will
be
depleted.
E
You
may
not
have
the
coverage
that
we
initially
anticipated,
and
you
know
really
what
that
looks
like
for
our
community
is
the
county
general
fund
would
have
to
pay
and
back
the
debt
service,
which
we
obviously
would
not
have
the
ability
to
be
able
to
pay
for
the
debt
service
payments
for
all
these
outstanding
bonds.
So
what
that
means
is,
then
that
could
possibly
mean
a
tax
increase
property
tax
increase
to
our
residents
here
in
southern
nevada.
E
What's
also
must
also
be
highlighted.
Is
that
you
know,
should
there
be
and
trust
me
we're
going
to
do
everything
possible
to
avoid
the
situation,
but
if
there
is
a
property
tax
increase
in
order
to
be
able
to
pay
for
those
debt
service
payments,
they
are
not
limited
to
the
property.
Tax
council
would
be
at
the
full
value
of
what
the
property
tax
imposed
to
be
able
to
pay
for
that
debt
service.
A
So
if,
for
some
reason,
it
does
go
that
far
and
the
the
property
taxes
are
raised
or
its
money
is
taken
out
of
the
general
fund,
is
there
any
provisions
or
any
possibility
that
later
on
down
the
line
when
economically,
everyone
is
in
better
shape
that
that
money
could
be
recoverable
and
return
to
the
general
fund
or
offset
for
property
taxes
in
some
way.
E
Yolanda
I'm
representing
ilana
king
representing
clark
county,
I'm
through
new
church
of
the
assembly
woman.
We
would
absolutely
need
to
take.
We
would
take
a
look
at
that.
Obviously,
wherever
we
can
try
to
replenish
those
funds,
we
would
definitely
try
to
do
that
in
where
the
situations
are
our
absolute
very
last
resort
on.
This
would
be
to
increase
taxes
to
our
property
owners,
and
so
we
would
try
to
do
everything
possible
to
get
before.
We
would
need
to
get
to
that
point.
E
D
I
am,
and
I
just
like-
dropped
some
incredibly
important
information.
So
thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
There's
a
lot
of
information
here,
but
I'm
going
to
continue
on
with
the
money
area,
in
particular
I'm
looking
at
slide,
10
and,
to
an
extent
slide
12
as
well.
D
I
I
think
there
was
a
bill
last
session,
sb
4653
460s
that
had
to
do
with
the
county
coroner
being
able
to
increase
the
amount
of
money
that
you're
able
to
charge
people
for
a
death
certificate.
Where
exactly
is
that
in
the
general
funds
and
then
how
is
that
being
accounted
for?
Who
over?
Who
has
the
oversight
for
it?
How
much
has
this
generated
since
this
bill
came
through?
I
realized
those
are
very
specific
things,
and
so
I
wanted
to
get
that
in
the
room
as
well
for
fun.
Discussion.
E
I'm
yolanda
king,
representing
our
county
through
the
chair
to
the
assembly
woman.
Yes,
I
believe
that
was
sb
463,
that
you're
speaking
of
assemblywoman,
that
was
passed
in
the
last
session
and
it
included
a
three
dollar
increase
to
that
was
taxed
onto
the
death
certificates
and
collected
and
the
what
the
bill
allowed
for
was
for
the
really
the
purpose
of
the
funds
and
how
they
were
to
be
used.
E
They,
the
use
of
those
funds,
was
expanded
to
include
expenditures
that
were
related
to
mass
casualties
as
well
as
training
and
seminars,
and
then
it
was
also
used
to
or
allowed
to
be
used
for
some
of
the
programs
that
we
currently
had
in
place,
for
example
our
youth
dui
program,
and
so
it
was
also
allowed
that
we
can
use
to
subsidize
the
existing
programs
within
the
coroner's
office.
E
So,
yes,
we
are
collecting
those
dollars,
as
I
mentioned,
there's
a
there's,
a
three
dollar
assessment
on
death
certificates,
and
so
it's
a
southern
nevada,
health
district.
They
collect
those
dollars
and,
in
turn,
turn
them
over
to
the
county.
E
These
would
be
considered
dollars
that
are
collected
for
a
specific
purpose
and
that
purpose
is
outlined
in
the
the
statute,
and
so
we
set
aside
these
funds
in
a
separate
fund
to
be
able
to
account
for
them
and
to
ensure
that
they're
used
for
how
the
statute
has
outlined
for
us
to
use
those
dollars,
and
so
you
wouldn't
see
those
here
in
on
the
revenues
side
in
the
general
fund
in
terms
of
the
amount
of
dollars
that
have
been
generated.
I'll
have
to
get
that
information
to
you.
E
I
do
not
know
that
exact
dollar
amount,
but
what
I
can
tell
you
is
that
to
date,
we've
not
spent
any
of
those
dollars,
and
so
we
probably
will
need
to
take
a
look
at
what's
been
generated
and
and
what
we
can
spend
it
on,
and
I
believe
it's
a
permissive
language,
and
so
we
probably
would
also
need
to
take
a
look
at
it.
There's
still
a
use
for
those
dollars.
D
E
I'm
yolanda
king,
representing
clark
county,
I'm
who
you
chair
to
the
assembling
woman,
so
it
is
clark
county
who
oversees
the
expenditure
of
those
funds
just
as
any
of
our
funds
within
our
county
coffers,
so
the
any
expenditures
related
to
those
funds.
They
do
go
through
an
audit
process
through
our
budget
office
as
well
as
our
comptroller
office.
E
We
are
well
aware
of
how
those
dollars
can
be
used
and
spent,
and
so
any
expenditure
that
occurs
out
of
those
funds
or
any
funds
of
the
county
is
our
responsibility,
the
county
county
finance,
to
ensure
that
we
are
spending
those
dollars
appropriately,
and
so
it
would
be
the
county
who
will
receive,
and
it
would
also
be
us,
the
county,
finance
department,
who's
responsible
for
making
sure
that
it's
spent.
Accordingly.
E
To
my
knowledge-
and
I
will
follow
up
with
you
on
this-
I
do
not
believe
that
there
is
any
report.
That's
provided
to
any
group
of
individuals
or
people
in
terms
of
the
dollar
expenditures
but
like,
as
I
mentioned
before,
we've
not
had
any
expenditures,
I'm
out
of
this
fund
to
be
able
to
report
the
expenses
and
how
they've
been
paid.
D
Thank
you
and
thank
you,
mr
chair,
for
that
for
the
allowance
of
that
follow-up
question.
I
would
like
to
see
a
reporting
and
how
exactly
the
money
is
being
utilized
and
everything
I
realized
is
the
county
oversight.
But
since
this
is
a
brand
new
law
and
a
brand
new
information,
it's
something
that
we
need
to
be
looking
at
and
whether
or
not
the
money
is
in
fact
being
utilized
the
way
that
it
was
envisioned.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
that
answer
and
thank
you,
mr
chair.
A
Thank
you,
mr
chair
chairman,
and
for
the
additional
question.
My
question
actually
has
to
do
with
the
clark
county
wetlands
last
week,
the
week
before
there
was
another
fire
in
the
clark
county.
Wetlands
and
it
seems
like
there's,
been
a
handful
of
those
in
the
past
couple
few
years.
So
my
question
is
essentially
if
there
are
entities,
water,
reclamation,
district
or
any
districts
that
are
getting
together
to
discuss
fire
suppression
or
a
way
to
to
protect
the
wetlands
or
find
out.
Why
why
we're
having
the
fires
there.
E
Wanda
king,
representing
our
county,
where
you
chair
to
the
assemblywoman,
I
will
need
to
follow
up
with
you
on
that.
E
I
know
that
most
of
the
fires
that
occur
within
the
area
there's
a
federal
jurisdiction
that
comes
into
to
you,
know
kind
of
combat
the
the
fires
that
are
occurring
there,
but
I'll
need
to
follow
up
in
terms
of
if
we
have
a
coordinated
effort
to
determine
the
cause
of
the
fires,
improved
anything
for
prevention
purposes
that
we
can
do
on
clark
county,
as
well
as
at
the
federal
level.
B
I
don't
believe
we
have
any
questions
at
this
time.
I
wanted
to
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
Again.
I
encourage
you
to
follow
up,
there's
a
series
of
questions
that
I
I
know
ms
king
you'll
get
the
answers
to
us.
B
Please
make
sure
you
send
it
to
the
whole
committee
if
you
send
it
to
miss
judy
bishop
here
committee
manager
she'll
be
sure
to
get
that
information
to
all
the
members
again,
thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
we
look
forward
to
working
alongside
of
you
for
the
remainder
of
session
members
reach
out
to
them.
If
you
have
any
questions
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
close
out
the
hearing
for
from
clark
county,
the
presentation
better
said,
and
now
I'd
like
to
open
it
up
for
public
comment
a
broadcast.
C
Caller,
with
the
last
three
digits
of
one
six
four,
please
slowly
state
and
spell
your
name
for
the
record.
You
will
have
two
minutes
and

My
brother,
thomas
purdy,
was
38
years
old
when
he
was
affixiated
to
death
by
washer
county
sheriff's
office.
On
october
4
2015,
we
took
him
off
a
life
support
on
october
8
2015..
C
My
brother
was
a
guest
at
the
peppermill
casino
in
reno
when
he
had
a
mental
health
crisis
and
asked
security
for
help
security
call
reno
police
who
hog
tied
my
brother
in
the
rip-hobble
restraint
that
says
on
every
page
of
the
manual,
never
used
to
hog-tie,
a
human
being,
let
alone
for
40
minutes
the
entire
time
they
kept.
My
brother
face
down.
You
know,
police
did
and
the
knee
in
his
back
while
they
filled
out
their
paperwork.
C
While
he
was
hog-tied
40
minutes
later
they
dumped
him
up
at
the
jail
still
hog
tied
the
the
sergeant
thought
my
brother
was
acting
so
strange.
They
told
us
my
brother
was
talking
crazy,
not
making
any
sense
in
reality.
When
we
finally
got
the
video
my
brother
was
begging
for
his
life,
I'm
all
hog
tied
telling
them
he
was
going
to
die,
telling
them
that
he
couldn't
breathe,
telling
them
that
he
had
had
major
lung
surgery.
It
took
us
months
to
find
out
the
actual
truth.
They
did
try
to
get
us.
C
The
sparks
police
came
to
the
hospital
just
to
really
get
us
in
our
grief
and
try
to
garner
information
out
of
us
to
use
against
my
brother
and
justify
the
murder
of
my
brother.
The
jail
went
on
to
kill
another
man
after
my
brother
justin
thompson,
they
asphyxiated
a
man
before
my
brother,
nico
smith,
and
I
was
at
the
jail
this
past
summer,
with
my
12
year
old
nephew,
my
19
year
old
son
and
my
brother,
daniel
holding
a
banner
for
my
brother.
None
of
them,
one
of
them,
came
up
really.
C
B
B
Thank
you,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
close
out
the
public
comment,
however,
miss
king,
I
I
believe
you're
still
on
and
I
want
to
apologize
to
our
member.
I
accidentally
skipped
assemblywoman
brown
may
and
I
think
she
did
have
a
question
and
I
apologize
assemblywoman.
I
did
not
see
your
your
chat,
but
if
you'd
like
to
ask
your
question
now,
we
can
open
up
the
presentation
again
from
clark
county
and
I
wanted
to
give
you
the
opportunity.
I
did
not
do
that
on
purpose.
I
apologize.
A
A
So
I
we
heard
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
outreach
to
the
spanish
community.
We
know
that
for
the
spanish
speaking
community.
Rather
we
know
that
there
was
some
difficulty
in
how
that
was
initiated
throughout
the
county
at
the
onset
of
the
the
pandemic.
A
As
we
work
to
get
communications
and-
and
I
believe
your
team
talked
about
marketing
and
outreach
efforts
and
how
we're
improving
in
that
to
get
to
a
grassroots
level.
But
more
specifically,
could
you
give
us
a
little
bit
of
detail
about
how
we're
reaching
a
broad-based
population,
and
by
that
I
mean
people
who
may
not
be
speaking
spanish
or
may
need
special
access
like
people
who
are
blind
or
visually
impaired
people
who
are
of
the
deaf
community?
How
are
we
reaching
other
languages
besides,
english.
E
I'm
yolanda
king,
representing
clark
county
through
the
church
and
the
assembly
woman,
I
believe
kevin
is
still
on
yes,
so
I'll
turn
it
over
to
kevin.
G
For
the
record,
kevin
schiller
assistant,
county
manager,
clark
county
through
the
chair
to
the
assemblywoman,
so
a
good
question
a
couple
pieces.
I
want
to
highlight
that
I
didn't
talk
about
in
my
previous
answer,
one
on
the
hispanic
outreach
and
where
we
started
with
that
that
was
kind
of
driven
based
on
looking
at
our
testing
positivity
rate
in
other
areas
when
we
kind
of
focused
in
and
obviously
that
was
done
in
somewhat
a
degree
of
chaos
at
the
onset.
G
You
kind
of
echoed
that
the
other
piece
of
echo
is.
Is
that
the
cares
I'm
going
to
call
cares.
1.0
funding
those
crf
funds
were
pretty
flexible
in
terms
of
how
we
could
utilize
those
dollars,
as
you
know,
with
the
second
round,
it's
more
tied
to
rental
assistance
and
we
do
not
have
the
flexibility
of
those
dollars
through
ms
king
we've
been
able
to
utilize
some
of
those
flexible
dollars
in
the
first
allotment
to
support
that
marketing
and
outreach
to
your
question.
G
To
give
you
an
example,
we
are
currently
exploring
mass
vaccination
sites
and
implementing
that
across
the
region
through
use
of
some
of
the
local
churches
and
congregations,
and
also
trying
to
look
at
how
we
use
that
through
an
ada
process
and
in
terms
of
those
populations
that
have
difficulty
so
to
answer
your
question
it's
complex,
but
that
is
incorporated
and
we
are
trying
to
look
across
all
populations,
both
from
a
diversity
perspective
and
a
disability
perspective,
because
we
recognize
how
significant
that
is.
G
I
would
echo
it's
a
little
limiting
because
we
do
not
have
funds
allocated
as
allocated
to
us
through
the
second
allotment
of
funds,
to
support
this
marketing,
so
we're
really
trying
to
do
the
best
we
can
with
the
dollars
that
we
have
to
be
inclusive
in
that,
because
we
recognize
without
the
vaccinations
it
clearly
is
going
to
impact
our
ability
to
recover.
A
Thank
you
chair.
I
I
appreciate
the
efforts
of
the
county
really
to
reach
this
very
broad
population
that
we
have
know
that
there
are
many
many
folks
and
my
email
inbox
is
filled
up
with
lots
of
people
who
are
very
concerned
about.
A
Where
do
they
go
to
get
the
appropriate
information,
especially
with
regard
to
evictions
and
vaccinations,
so
I
feel
like
we
can
continue
to
focus
in
that
way,
just
to
make
people
feel
as
though
they
have
access
where
I
think
that
the
better
our
communication
strategy
is
obviously
the
better
our
residents
will.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
B
If
I
did
please
unmute
yourself
and
state
your
name,
I
believe
now
we've
gone
everybody
again,
clark
johnny!
Thank
you
for
coming
back
with
that
I'll
close
out
the
presentation
by
clark
county
and
we've
already
done
public
comment
members.
I
want
to
remind
you
that
we're
going
to
continue
with
our
presentations
for
tomorrow
we'll
be
having
a
presentation
by
the
washoe
county
sheriff's
office
and
then
on
thursday,
we'll
be
having
some
bill
presentations
again.
