A
E
Thank
you
appreciate
it
well.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
carlton
and
chair
brooks
and
members
of
the
assembly
committee
on
ways
and
means
senate
finance
for
the
record
dan
crossman
legislative
auditor.
E
D
Good
morning,
members
of
the
joint
subcommittee-
I
am
shannon
rydell
and
I
currently
serve
as
the
chief
deputy
legislative
auditor
and
I
joined
the
audit
division
in
february
of
2000..
This
will
be
my
11th
session,
I'm
a
graduate
of
the
university
of
nevada
reno
and
I'm
currently
a
certified
public
accountant
in
nevada.
E
Division
great,
thank
you
shannon.
So
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
today
to
briefly
present
our
publication
entitled
audit
report
summaries,
2019
2020..
It
looks
like
this.
It's
about
a
half
inch
thick.
You
should
have
already
received
a
copy
of
that.
It's
also
available
as
an
exhibit
on
the
web.
For
this
meeting.
E
This
publication
includes
information
on
the
audit
reports
we've
issued
since
january
of
2019
through
the
most
recent
legislative
commission's
audit
subcommittee
meeting,
which
was
held
last
month.
The
report
includes
a
table
of
contents
so
that
each
audit
summary
can
be
located
as
well
as
references
to
the
applicable
pages
within
the
governor's
recommended
budget.
E
I
will
not
go
into
any
specific
audits
today,
but
rather
give
you
an
overview
of
our
process
and
explain
our
publication,
as
indicated
on
the
bottom
of
the
cover
page,
the
first
page
of
the
audit.
The
audit
report
summaries
in
this
document
identify
significant
monetary
benefits,
potential
cost
savings
and
revenue
enhancements.
For
the
past
two
years,
including
measurable
financial
benefits
from
recommendations,
in
effect
from
prior
years,
we
estimate
that
more
than
31
million
dollars
has
been
realized
over
the
past
biennium.
E
This
document
also
includes
information
regarding
the
implementation
of
our
recommendations.
Our
audit
follow-up
process
helps
us
answer
the
question:
how
do
we
know
that
our
recommendations
are
being
implemented?
It's
important
to
note.
I
think
that
our
follow-up
process
is
nationally
recognized
by
the
united
states
government
accountability
office
as
a
best
practice
and
has
been
in
place
since
the
late
80s.
E
So
I'd
like
to
take
a
couple
minutes
today
to
describe
our
audit
follow-up
process
and
what
you'll
find
in
this
publication
for
each
audit
report.
You'll
find
an
audit
highlights
page
that
summarizes
our
findings
depending
on
the
timing
of
the
release
of
each
report,
we've
included
as
applicable
the
60-day
plan
of
corrective
action
or
the
six-month
report,
and
my
offices
report
to
the
audit
sub-committee
of
the
legislative
commission
on
the
status
of
recommendations.
So
what
is
a
60-day
plan?
Well,
we
mentioned
this
in
the
the
bullets
on
that.
E
E
E
The
office
of
finance
is
required
to
submit
a
six-month
report
to
our
office,
indicating
the
status
of
implementation
of
each
recommendation,
though
about
six
months
after
the
corrective
action
plan
is
prepared
by
the
agencies.
The
governor's
office
of
finance,
the
internal
audit
division
will
contact
the
audited
agency
and
independently
review
the
implementation
status
of
the
recommendations
we
made.
E
E
E
So
over
the
past
two
years,
this
six
month,
reports
included
152
recommendations
at
this
time.
136
are
fully
implemented
well,
they're,
partially
implemented
and
12
have
no
action
implementation.
I
think
this
is
important
to
note
that
some
of
these
recommendations,
the
implementation,
has
been
hindered
by
the
pandemic
and
its
impact
on
the
operations
of
state
agencies.
E
E
We
are
always
willing
and
able
to
discuss
any
report
or
with
you
or
anyone
who
would
like
to
discuss
them
with
us,
and
we
are
also
available
to
make
presentations
in
any
committee.
If
you'd
like
a
copy
of
any
specific
report,
they
are
available
on
our
website.
E
E
If,
if
agencies
are
not
cooperating
and
taking
appropriate
corrective
action,
and
then
then
we
can
let
you
know,
we
view
this
committee's
budget
approval
authority
as
the
teeth,
if
you
will
in
the
process
for
ensuring
that
agencies
respond
to
our
recommendations
and
other
requests.
However,
I
would
add
that
we
have
a
good
working
relationship
with
the
vast
majority
of
state
agencies
and
have
been
able
to
work
with
them
to
ensure
our
recommendations
are
realistic
and
implementable,
yet
still
meet
the
corrective
action
that
is
needed.
E
It
is
possible
that
we
will
be
releasing
some
additional
audits
this
session
by
statute.
Those
may
be
presented
to
the
audit
subcommittee
of
the
legislative
commission
at
the
discretion
of
the
chair
or
may
be
released
directly.
E
We
also
look
forward
to
the
session
working
with
assemblywoman
benitez
thompson
and
senator
dennis
that
are
chairs
of
the
joint
subcommittee
of
the
committee
on
finance
and
assembly
ways
and
means.
So
that
concludes
my
presentation
today.
Like
I
said,
we
are
always
happy
to
meet
with
with
any
of
you
to
discuss
our
reports
and
provide
any
assistance
that
we
can
and
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
today.
If
there.
A
Are
thank
you
very
much,
mr
crossman.
I
found
the
reports
to
be
very,
very
helpful,
especially
in
following
up
with
what
we
vote
on
and
debate
on
and
decide
how
we
want
to
see
the
budget
constructed
to
be
able
to
follow
through
and
find
out.
Did
it
really
work?
Were
there
issues
and
there's
been
a
number
of
times
where
the
audit
division
has
found
public
safety
issues
while
doing
their
audit
that
ended
up
protecting
some
of
our
our
most
vulnerable
populations?
A
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
your
team
does.
It's
very
very
important
work
and
it
brings
us
a
lot
of
excellent
information
on
how
our
how
the
services
are
really
being
distributed
to
the
the
folks
on
the
ground.
So
we
really
do
appreciate
all
the
work
that
you
do
so
with
that
committee.
Are
there
any
questions
of
mr
crossman
at
this
time
miss
benitez
thompson?
Did
you
have
anything.
F
No
questions
just.
I
am
incredibly
grateful
for
our
auditors
and
their
staff.
F
They,
I
think,
more
than
anything
of
really
I
mean
they
serve
as
a
set
additional
set
of
eyes
and
ears
for
us,
but
their
main
function
is
to
make
sure
that
programs
in
the
state
are
working
well
and
working
within
the
scope
that
our
legislative
authority
expects
them
to
and
like
chair
carlton
said
when
they're,
not
it
it,
it
sometimes
can
be
very
significant
and
very
meaningful
whether
it's
an
I.t
issue
or
whether
it's
protections
of
seniors
or
children
in
facilities,
and
so
their
staff
has
done
an
amazing
job
in
protection
of
the
public
and
protection
of
our
programs
and.
A
D
A
G
D
G
G
The
e720
is
related
to
this
transfer,
as
it
funds
items
for
a
position
that
was
approved
through
sb
544,
but
was
not
filled
due
to
coven
19
and
we
swept
those
funds.
The
ppc
is
being
moved
to
be
administratively
in
line
with
the
organization.
That's
providing
policy
and
direct
services
throughout
the
state.
The
department
of
health
and
human
services
collects
analyzes
and
manages
enormous
amounts
of
data
that
can
assist
in
addressing
health
care
policy
across
the
state
and
feed
this
data
to
the
ppc.
G
One
goal
is
to
work
internally
to
collect
the
data
related
to
health
care
and
collaborate
across
the
department
to
feed
that
information
to
the
ppc
and
work
closely
with
them,
so
the
health
care
policies
across
the
state
across
the
state
are
being
addressed
and
then,
finally,
there
is
a
request
here,
an
e710.
This
is
a
request
for
replacement
computers,
and
this
is
in
accordance
with
the
enterprise
information
technology
services,
replacement
schedule
and
replaces
computers
on
a
five-year
schedule.
A
Here
we
go,
I
have
unmuted
successfully
ms
benitez
thompson.
F
Thank
you
so
much.
I
have
a
question
and
it's
just
to
clarify
for
the
record
so
within
the
e
900
decision
unit
of
those
three
positions
going
over
to
aging
and
disability
services
and
then
the
the
new
equipment
for
a
vacant
position.
So
then
in
total
will
we
see
four
positions
three
being
transferred
now,
but
then
a
fourth
one
kind
of
after
the
fact
I
just
wanted
to
see
if
it
was
three
or
four
where,
where
I
should
retain
on
my
head
as
the
final
staffing
number.
G
A
All
right,
other
committee
members,
any
other
questions
of
miss
brown
on
the
office
of
the
governor,
pretty
cut
and
dry.
H
Thank
you.
I
don't
I'll
have
questions,
probably
when
we
get
to
aging
and
disability
services
regarding
it's,
you
know
it
being
the
house
for
the
patient
protection
commission
seems
like
that
might
be,
I'm
still
not
convinced,
that's
the
right
spot
for
it,
but
I
think
we've
seen
I've
said
this.
Probably
during
every
legislative
session
I've
served
here.
H
The
governor
is
grossly
underfunded
and
he
could
probably
use
a
few
hundred
thousand
dollars
more
to
get
some
new
positions
in
there
and
start
doing
a
little
bit
more
proactive
work
instead
of
just
reactionary,
which
is
not
anybody's
fault,
it's
just
where
it
is,
and
this
might
not
be
the
session
for
it,
but
I'll
be
gone
for
after
this
one.
So
someone
else
can
take
up
the
mantle
next
time.
H
A
So
I
want
to
make
sure
I
leave
it
where
I
really
want
it
to
be,
and
then,
if
anybody
tries
to
move
it
in
the
future,
I'll
come
back
and
visit
with
them.
So
with
that
ms
benitez
thompson,
did
you
have
a
follow-up?
I
did
and.
F
It's
just
a
clarification
question
and
I
see
it
in
this
budget
and
in
the
lieutenant
governor's
budget,
and
so
it's
under
the
maintenance
and
the
ag
cost
allocation
it
just
we
seem
to
see
two
two
different
numbers
in
you
know
one
end
of
the
one
year,
the
biennium
and
the
second
year,
the
biennium,
and
so
I
was
just
looking
for
the
rationale
for
that
on
the
record.
G
Okay,
so
susan
brown
for
the
record
and
we're
talking
about
the
attorney
general's
cost
allocation,
so
the
attorney
general
cost
allocation
plan
is
based
on
for
fiscal
year
22.
I
believe
I
might
be
wrong
on
this,
but
I
believe
that
is
fiscal
year
19,
and
so
those
are
costs
that
those
are
hours
that
were
worked
for
the
governor's
office
and
the
lieutenant
governor's
office
across,
and
this
is
actually
statewide.
G
And
so
you
will
see
differences
in
those
numbers
because
there
are
changes
in
the
hours
that
are
worked.
Services
provided
by
the
ag's
office
each
year.
F
D
A
Okay,
are
there
other
questions
from
other
committee
members
at
this
time.
I
You
ma'am
cheer
up
yeah,
quick
question
about
the
balance
for
the
202
000
that
you
annotate
here.
Maybe
you
highlighted
it
and
I
apologize
if
I
missed
it.
But
what
was
that
from?
What
was
the
budget
savings
for
that
that
you
carried
over.
D
D
I
And
if
then,
while
you're,
while
you're
looking,
if
I
may
madam
chair,
is
you
know,
I
know
a
lot
of
state
agencies
were
asked
to
to
reduce
their
budgets
by
a
certain
percentage.
I
was
just
curious
if,
if
that
was
applied
to
the
governor's
office
or
not
or
that
was
asked
as
well,
I
don't.
I
don't
see
a
significant
decrease.
G
I
G
I
Okay
and
well,
and
then
you
do
get
back.
I
was
just
curious
as
to
if
it's
something
that's
going
to
be
a
reoccurring,
savings
or
whatever
just
curious.
If
why
it
wasn't
applied
to
this
year's
funding,
request
or
or
the
next,
if
it
was
an
anomaly
or
if
it's
it's
something
that
you
know
we're
going
to
realize
savings
down
the
line,
that's
that's
it,
but
I'll
take
that
offline.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
G
A
And
thank
you,
mr
roberts,
and
miss
brown.
If
you
would
just
be
sure
and
share
that
with
the
staff
and
let
them
know
unless
either
miss
kaufman
or
miss.
Mr
thorley
has
an
answer
to
the
question.
I
just
hate
having
the
responses
later
on,
but
as
much
as
we
can
answer
get
answered
the
day
of
the
committee.
It
makes
things
much
cleaner
that
way.
The
answer
is
on
the
record,
so
miss
kaufman
or
mr
thorley.
J
Madam
chair,
I'm
I'm
looking
at
that
right
now
and
I
do
not
have
a
good
answer
for
you
on
that.
But
it
is
ms
brown
it
is
in
2020
is
the
balance
for
that
has
been
referenced
and
it's
a
total
of
two
hundred
and
two
thousand
eight
hundred
ninety
one
dollars.
A
All
right,
thank
you,
miss
kaufman!
So
will
ms
brown,
if
you'll,
provide
the
the
answer
to
staff
and
then
staff
will
make
sure
that
all
the
committee
members
have
that
document.
G
G
A
K
Madam
chair,
this
is
lieutenant
governor,
kate,
marshall.
May
I
speak
good
morning.
Oh
okay,
I
just
I
didn't
want
to
good
morning
and
good
morning,
members
of
the
committee
and
thank
you
for
having
me.
I
also
have
my
chief
of
staff
here,
kate,
wilson.
I
will
be
doing
the
introduction
and
I
will
also
comment
on
the
ag
allocation
in
case.
There
might
be
something
that
we
have
to
look
up
and
then
I
will
hand
it
over
to
my
chief
of
staff.
First,
thank
you
for
all
your
work.
K
K
K
We
have
a
done
a
commuter
from
east
las
vegas
to
college
of
southern
nevada
and
nevada
state
college
for
students,
so
they
can
have
a
direct
route
cutting
their
time
from
up
to
two
and
a
half
hours,
one
way
to
40
minutes,
making
sure
that
they
have
wi-fi
making
sure
that
it's
safe.
K
That
was
a
collaborative
job.
My
staff,
christina
lopez,
really
took
the
lead
on
that
and
I
think
it
was
a
very
worthy
project.
Obviously
it's
on
hold
now
because
of
the
pandemic.
K
We
also
started
delivering
with
dignity
in
northern
nevada,
which
has
provided
15
jobs
to
small
businesses
and
delivered
over
60
000
meals
to
people
in
northern
nevada
who
meet
the
cdc's
guidelines
for
being
at
high
risk
of
having
coveted
and
do
not
have
the
resources
to
have
food
provided
to
their
homes.
We
worked
with
united
way
of
northern
nevada.
K
My
staff,
who
is
currently
on
leave
at
the
national
guard
courtney
mckimmy,
really
headed
that
up
and
did
a
phenomenal
job
there.
The
governor
did,
I
see
me
and
my
staff,
the
honor
of
making
us
chair
of
the
complete
count
committee
of
the
census.
K
K
We
also
assisted
the
clark
county
school
district
in
getting
cares,
act
funding
to
provide
mental
health
assessments
for
their
students.
As
you
know,
mental
health
is
a
grave
and
exacerbated
issue.
Right
now
we
were
able
to
facilitate
their
ability
to
apply
through
joni
ebert,
a
superintendent
of
education
to
get
cares,
act
funding
so
that
all
clark,
county
school
district
schools
may
provide
mental
health
assessments
for
their
students,
and
we
continue
to
work
on
that
issue
with
poonam
mather.
K
I
believe
it
is
a
critical
and
important
issue
to
address
this
time,
not
to
leave
out
rural
nevada,
because
I
am
chair
of
tourism
which
focuses
on
rural
nevada.
We
help
the
town
of
ely
apply
for
a
grant
to
do
a
feasibility
study
on
getting
the
trails
institute
out
there.
As
you
know,
my
office
is
also
chair
of
the
advisory
board
of
outdoor
recreation,
a
resilient
area
during
this
pandemic.
K
In
terms
of
my
out-of-state
travel,
I
am
the
western
region
designee
for
the
national
lieutenant
governors
association
and
I
am
on
the
resolutions
committee.
So
that's
what
I
do
in
that
regard
and
why,
when
there
is
travel,
I
go
to
those
meetings.
I
will
now
turn
it
over
to
my
chief
of
staff,
kate,
wilson.
Oh
I'm
sorry
before
I
do
that.
I
did
want
to
address
the
ag's
thing.
I
do
not
know
why
we
would
have
had
to
have
asked
for
extra
money
for
the
attorney
general.
K
As
chair
of
the
board
of
tourism,
I
did
ask
for
an
ag
opinion.
However,
legally,
I
cannot
ask
for
an
ag
opinion
as
a
lieutenant
governor.
I
can
only
ask
for
that
opinion
in
my
position
as
chair,
so
if
the
that's
what
those
charges
are
for,
we
will
need
to
look
into
it
because
they
would
be
wrongly
applied
to
the
office
of
lieutenant
governor
or
somehow
need
to
be
identified
as
a
request
from
the
board
of
tourism,
and
I
think
for
transparency
purposes.
K
I
just
wanted
you
to
know
the
only
thing
I
can
think
of
when
we
asked
for
a
specific
legal
advice
so
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
my
staff,
kate,
wilson.
Thank
you
very
much
good.
L
Morning,
chair
and
members
of
the
joint
committee
all
right,
my
screen
just
turned
on
for
the
record.
I'm
kate,
wilson,
elaine
chief
of
staff
to
lieutenant
governor
k,
marshall.
The
governor's
recommended
budget
includes
continued
funding
for
our
five
positions
and
operating
costs,
including
information
services,
administrative
services,
purchasing
assessments
and
the
ag
costs
which
allocations
are
required
to
maintain
the
office.
L
To
an
in-state
travel
enhancement
for
a
total
of
628
five
dollars
in
fy
twenty
two
and
six
hundred
forty
three
eight
hundred
and
sixty
three
dollars
in
fy
twenty
three.
This
includes
enhancement
three
three,
fifty
of
ten
thousand
one
hundred
and
181
dollars
per
year
for
in-state
travel
to
be
used
for
statewide
tours
in
the
lieutenant
governor's
capacity
as
chair
of
the
nevada,
tourism
commission,
on
tourism
and
chair
of
the
environment
advisory
board
on
outdoor
recreation,
in
addition
to
necessary
office
meetings
in
las
vegas
on
a
monthly
basis.
L
L
Hope
to
begin
traveling
again
in
july
2021
and
we
hope
to
be
able
to
resume
our
trips
to
rural
nevada
quarterly
and
to
southern
nevada
monthly.
We
have
also
made
the
decision
to
update
our
office
kpis
or
performance
at
performance
indicators
to
more
accurately
represent
the
work
that
the
office
is
doing
and
the
priorities
of
the
lieutenant
governor
over
the
next
biennium,
the
previous
lieutenant
governor's
office,
had
focused
largely
on
international
travel
and
entrepreneurship.
L
D
A
Thank
you
very
much
so
we'll
go
ahead
and
discuss
the
travel
issues
so
that
committee
members
do
you
have
any
questions.
I
believe
it
was
pretty
well
explained
and
we
understood
what
happened
with
the
pandemic.
So
any
questions
from.
A
F
I
guess,
madam
chairwoman,
if,
if
it
maybe
not
a
kind
of
a
question,
but
maybe
to
kind
of
flush
out
just
a
little
bit
of
history,
and
so
when,
when
you
do
the
travel
in
state,
could
you
just
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
what
that
looks
like
how
many
staff
members
tend
to
travel?
If
you
divided
the
enhancement
amount
of
gov
wreck
over,
you
know
the
period
of
one
year
it
it
looks
to
be
about.
You
know
just
shy
of
seventeen
hundred
dollars
around
sixteen
hundred
dollars
a
month
in
expenses.
F
So
if
you
just
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about,
is
that
kind
of
one
rural
trip
and
one
clark
county
trip
a
month,
just
a.g
and
two
staff,
so
that
might
be
helpful
just
for
the
record.
L
Yeah,
so
we
do
have
a
fairly
small
staff,
so
generally,
it
depends
on
what
part
of
our
portfolio
if
we
introduce
yourself.
Oh
sorry,
kate,
wilson,
for
the
record,
we
do
have
a
small
staff,
so
it
depends
on
what
part
of
the
portfolio
we're
traveling
on
behalf
of
so,
for
example,
my
colleague
courtney
mckimmie,
who
is
now
away,
unfortunately,
at
the
national
guard,
she
handled
a
lot
of
our
small
business
work.
L
So
when
the
lieutenant
governor
traveled
to
southern
nevada,
to
meet
with
small
businesses
and
work
on
that
part
of
the
portfolio,
courtney
would
generally
travel
with
her.
I
cover
our
tourism
portfolio,
so
if
there
was
a
tourism
in
venom
in
las
vegas,
I
would
travel
to
las
vegas
with
her
generally
as
a
rule.
L
The
lieutenant
governor,
because
she
is
located
in
northern
nevada,
tries
to
go
down
to
southern
nevada
once
a
month
to
meet
with
constituents,
have
meetings
or
board
appointments
things
like
that,
and
then
we
do
do
quarterly
rural
tours
in
which
we
try
to
take
the
whole
staff,
which
would
be
three
of
us,
and
they
usually
last
anywhere
between
three
days
to
five
days.
Where.
D
L
Drive
across
the
state
stop
at
small
businesses
work
with
our
tourism
partners
to
really
highlight
the
work
that
they're
doing
out
in
those
areas.
It's
been
hugely
important
and
hugely
successful.
We've
been
able
to
make
really
incredible
relationships
out
there
and
really
boost.
You
know
boosts
the
importance
and
boosts
the
recognition
of
the
work
that
they're
doing
in
these
communities.
So
we
would
really
like
to
be
able
to
continue
to
do.
L
A
I
hate
to
put
staff
on
the
spot.
I
usually
like
to
give
them
a
heads
up,
but
this
allocation
thing
keeps
popping
up
so
miss
kaufman.
Could
you
kind
of
walk
the
community
in
these
basic
allocations,
we're
going
to
be
seeing
these
throughout
different
budgets,
where
all
the
different
agencies
pay
allocations
into
certain
funds?
So
if
you
could
address
that
briefly,
just
so
that
all
of
us
are
aware
of
exactly
what
we're
looking
at
in
those
documents.
J
Certainly
manager
for
the
record
sarah
kaufman
lcd
fiscal,
with
the
attorney
general's
cost
allocations.
Any
services
that
were
provided
three
years
ago
are
then
essentially
paid
for
in
the
present
so
three
years
ago.
If
there
were
services
that
were
rendered,
they
would
be
paying
for
it
at
this
point
in
time
and
and
that's
built
into
this
cost
allocation
that
the
attorney
general
assesses
so
that
they
can
then
continue
to
provide
services
going
forward
into
the
next
two
years.
J
K
Yeah,
madam
chair
lieutenant
governor
kate
marshall,
for
the
record.
So
then
I
want
to
withdraw
my
previous
comment
because
I
wasn't
in
the
office
three
years
ago,
so
I
don't.
I
actually
don't
know,
then
what
the
charges
are
for
just
to
clear
up
any
confusion.
A
And
thank
you
lieutenant
governor
and
that's
why
I
I
had
asked
ms
kaufman
to
make
sure
everyone
was
aware.
It's
it's
a
it's
a
bit
odd.
How
how
the
equation
on
this
works
so
but
you'll
be
seeing
this
all
the
way
through
all
the
different
budgets
through
the
rest
of
the
next.
You
know
100
days,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
everyone
was
aware
and
understood
what
they
actually
were.
A
So
are
there
I
guess
lieutenant
governor.
One
of
the
questions
I
would
probably
have
is
so
when
we
went
into
this
virtual
world,
did
your
office
do
the
same?
Did
you
do
zoom
meetings
with
folks
across
the
state,
since
you
were
not
able
to
travel?
How
did
you
address
being
able
to
to
still
comply
with
everything
and
get
everything
done.
K
Lieutenant
governor
kate
marshall,
for
the
record.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
question.
It
has
been
very
very
difficult.
I
have
my
staff
working
from
home.
K
K
One
of
those
children
is
a
kindergartner,
so
I
just
I,
I
don't
really
know
how
my
staff
is
getting
through
this.
My
executive
assistant
does
go
into
the
office
when
I
go
into
the
office
to
meet
her
like
once
or
twice
a
month.
It's
like
a
joy
to
see
someone
other
than
that.
We
do
do
a
lot
of
zoom
meetings.
I
have
tried
to
keep
up
with
the
economic
development
portion
by
doing
presentations
before
businesses,
who
might
be
interested
in
coming
here,
highlighting
small
businesses
who
are
here.
K
K
K
I
guys
it
is
very
hard
and-
and
we
try
our
best
everyone's
working
on
their
own
stuff
from
home,
and
I
probably
run
my
staff
ragged
with
new
ideas
about
how
we
try
to
reach
out
to
people
the
delivering
with
dignity
we
opened
in
eight
days,
and
I
raised
over
half
a
million
dollars
for
that
because
I
there's
just
so
many
different
needs
right.
It's
just
such
a
different
world
that
you
just
have
to
do
whatever
you
can
do.
K
I
also
have
my
staff
returning
every
call
we
got.
I
know
you
guys
do
the
same.
Those
calls
are
sometimes
tearful
and
sometimes
frustrating
like
that.
I
don't
know
if
that's
a
good
answer
for
you,
madam
chair,
but
that's
the
truth.
L
He
wasn't
for
the
record.
I
will
also
say
that,
in
her
capacity
as
chair
of
the
commission
on
tourism,
we
also
created
a
recovery
subcommittee
under
the
chair
for
under
the
commission
of
tourism,
to
reach
out
specifically
to
these
tourism
partners
in
rural
areas
who
are
struggling.
They
were
able
to
connect,
grant
funding
to
them.
L
They
were
able
to
help
them,
try
to
get
programming
in
place
for
we're,
safe
and
open,
including,
but
not
limited
to
putting
you
know,
big
billboards
up
that
had
masks
on
them
to
say,
like
wear
your
mask
visit
italy,
those
sort
of
things,
so
we've
been
trying
to
be
creative
on
this.
You
know
it
has
been
really
difficult,
especially
in
working
with
small
businesses
and
with
tourism
partners.
L
They
also
are
stretched
thin,
so
we
don't
want
to
add
more
to
their
plate,
to
try
to
you
know,
get
on
a
zoom
or
things
like
that,
but
we
have
been
trying
to
coordinate
with
them
as
best
possible
and
again,
like
I
said
this
recovery
subcommittee
includes
members
of
goed.
It
includes
small
business
owners
that
includes
our
outdoor
recreation
points
of
contact
to
try
to
make
sure
that
people
are
utilizing
outdoor
spaces
during
this
time
so
has
been
difficult,
but
we've
tried
to
be
creative,
as
I
know
that
everyone
else.
A
Senator
raddy
did
you
have
a
question
or
did
it
get
answered,
or
would
you
prefer
to
work
with
staff
on
your
question?
What's
your
preference
senator.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
was
just
really
appreciative
of
your
asking
for
the
overview
on
the
ag
allocation
for
those
of
us
who
are
just
learning
the
basics,
and
so
just
had
a
clarifying
question.
Does
that
include
just
opinions,
or
is
that,
like
the
normal,
ongoing
use
of
a
dag
or
just
the
regular
process
of
interacting
with
the
attorney
general's
office,.
J
A
A
I
know
we
have
some
additional
information
listed
here
on
some
different
bill
draft
proposals
that
will
be
coming
forward,
but
I
don't
believe
we
really
need
to
discuss
those
right
now,
we'll
see
them
when
they
become
bills-
and
I
know
there's
also
a
bdr-
that's
out
there
that
hasn't
quite
made
it
to
a
bill
yet
so
I
don't
think
it's
really
necessary
for
us
to
go
over
those
items
at
this
time,
but
committee
members,
you
do
have
just
a
tidbit
of
information
on
those
in
your
documents
so
with
that,
if
there
are
no
other
questions
from
any
committee
members
at
this
time,
please
speak
up.
A
Hearing
no
other
questions.
Thank
you
very
much
lieutenant
governor
and
your
staff.
A
We
realize
what
the
staff
of
the
state
of
nevada
has
been
through
in
the
last
nine
ten
months,
and
we
appreciate
everything
that
they
have
done
to
juggle
their
family,
their
work
and
to
try
to
do
as
much
as
they
can
for
their
neighbors
and
and
help
other
nevadans
out.
So
we
really
do
appreciate
the
work
that
your
your
staff
has
done.
Also,
so
thank
you
very
much
for
being
here
today
and
we'll
be
seeing
you
at
another
hearing,
I'm
sure.
So.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Have.
A
Thank
you,
so
committee
members
doing
a
great
job.
We
have
completed
our
agenda
items
that
were
posted
for
today.
We
are
starting
out
slow
so
that
we
get
the
hang
of
this.
So
by
doing
that,
we
give
you
a
little
extra
time
this
morning,
so
to
get
other
things
done
so
with
that,
I
believe
our
last
item
on
the
agenda
would
be
public
comment,
so
we
will
ask
broadcast
services
to
go
ahead
and
open
up
the
public
comment
line.
A
J
Adam
chair,
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
the
question
that
was
posed
regarding
the
balance
forward
for
the
governor's
office.
We
did
research
that,
and
it
was
part
of
a
reversion
that
was
to
the
ifc
contingency
account
and
it
was
just
identified
as
a
balance
forward,
but
it
was
in
fact
a
reversion.
A
F
F
A
I
believe
the
answer
to
that
was:
yes,
we
have
head
nods,
but
we
have
to
say
yes
for
the
record
okay.
So
with
that
we've,
given
it
a
couple
of
minutes
for
public
comment
broadcast
services,
do
we
have
anyone
on
the
public
comment
line
this
morning.
D
C
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committees
and
mr
co-chair,
stephen
cohen,
for
the
record
stephen
with
a
v
cohen
c-o-h-e-n,
as
in
the
assembly
woman,
no
relation,
at
least
that
I
know
of
just
briefly
want
to
address
the
audit
summary
from
the
very
beginning
in
the
context
that,
despite
the
environment
that
we're
in
at
the
moment,
hopefully
autism
and
neurodiversity,
which
is
a
more
broad
concept,
will
be
able
to
receive
due
consideration.
C
C
A
Okay,
we've,
given
it
a
couple
of
moments
and
even
with
the
delay
people
should
have
had
time
to
call
in
so
with
that
committee
members.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
time
and
attention
this
morning,
I
really
enjoy
having
a
joint
meeting
so
that
everyone
can
present
to
all
of
us.
At
the
same
time,
we
can
hear
the
same
information
and
it
saves
the
staff
and
the
presenters
a
lot
of
time
not
having
to
go
to
two
different
meetings.
