Thank
you
very
much,
please
mark
speaker,
fryerson
absent
and
the
other
members
present
as
they
arrive.
Thank
you
very
much
so
good
morning
again
to
everyone.
We
have
some
budgets
in
front
of
us
this
morning
to
get
a
little
bit
of
work
done
on
so
if
we
could
go
ahead
and
start
with
budget
1532,
the
nevada
main
street
program.
F
Full
screen-
I
looked
madam
chair
for
a
quote
about
budgets
and
presidents
day
and
I
found
when
he
was
senator
senator
biden
said
he
said.
Don't
tell
me
about
what
you
value
show
me
your
budget
and
I'll.
Tell
you
what
you
value
and
I
couldn't
I
couldn't
find
anything
better
than
that,
one
in
the
historic
to
look
back,
and
so
I
appreciate
this
opportunity.
I
value
the
people
that
we
have
at
this
agency
when
the
governor
asked
me
to
take
on
this
post,
which
was
not
something
I
sought.
F
F
I
don't
see
this
job
as
functioning
at
the
19th
hole
of
a
golf
course,
and
it's
a
government
agency
and-
and
I
have
taken
steps
to
improve
our
compliance
programs
and
move
forward
in
partnership
and
with
that
I'll
quickly,
walk
through
just
a
few
slides
and
get
right
to
the
budget.
I
think
all
of
you
on
this
experience
committee
understand
where
this
agency
came
from
and
its
objectives
to
diversify
the
nevada
economy
since
becoming
director.
F
We,
the
governor,
basically
wanted
to
see
a
higher
standard
coming
of
companies
coming
to
nevada,
so
we've
tried
to
prioritize
social
responsibility
and,
of
course,
we've
had.
This
added
mission
of
administering
cares
act
relief,
programs-
I
I
do
want
to
just
pause
one
second,
though,
because
when
you
look
at
this
agency's
mission,
it's
always
been
to
diversify
the
economy,
and
I
want
to
draw
your
attention
to
this
chart.
This
is
the
hockman
index.
F
This
edition
of
the
reno
gazette
from
2010,
where
it
says,
is
reno's
destined
to
become
the
detroit
of
the
west,
and
today
the
reno
economy
is
one
of
the
most
diverse
and
prosperous
in
the
nation,
and
this
is
something
that
we
need
to
make
sure
now
goes
across
all
nevada
and
is
something
that
I
am
very
committed
to.
And
of
course
it
was
senator
paul
laxalt.
That
taught
me
about
the
three
states
of
nevada
but
berkeley.
Our
friends
at
brookings
mountain
west
has
has
expanded.
F
My
thinking
on
this
to
understand
our
connectivity
across
three
different
economic
parts
of
the
united
states
and
the
pacific
rim,
and
I
would
say
that
there
are
countries
that
would
like
to
have
the
borders
that
nevada
have
and
the
opportunities
it
presents.
So
governor
obviously
put
a
forward
a
an
ambitious
plan
that
my
agency
is
working
diligently
forward
on
which
will
form
basically
the
resilience
and
recovery
efforts
for
the
next
18
months
in
partnership
with
lots
of
folks
around
the
state,
and
so
with
that
I'll
turn
to
the
fundamentals
of
our
budget.
F
I
do
want
to
just
thank
those
who
of
you
who
served
on
the
ifc
and
the
legislative
council
bureau
staff
for
the
support
you
provided
during
the
crisis
over
the
summer
as
we
dealt
with
pandemic
and
budgetary
issues
and
the
swift
approvals,
we
got
for
the
relief
programs
and
other
measures
that
we
stood
up
and
I
don't
think
we
say
thank
you
enough
to
everyone
that
kind
of
made
that
possible
go
at
organizational
chart.
We
are
a
unit
of
about
41
different
folks.
F
Our
budget
is
basically
about
a
little
over
half
general
fund
federal
funds,
primarily
coming
in
to
support
the
international
program,
and
some
of
our
primarily
the
international
program
interagency
is
how
we
fund
the
film
division
through
the
tourism
tax
and
then
the
other
funds
are
basically
repayments
of
loans
and
things
of
that
nature
from
some
of
the
heritage
programs
that
go
at
with
that,
you
wanted
us
to
turn
to
the
main
street
program
first.
F
So
with
that
now
obviously
to
meet,
you
know
the
austerity
that
nevada
has
faced.
You
know
agencies
across
the
board
were
requested
to
take
a
series
of
budget
reductions.
My
agency
stepped
forward.
You
know
governor
asked
for
these
reductions
and
we
we
had
to
deliver
them.
We
had
to
do
that
again,
a
pandemic
against
uncertain
base
of
knowledge
and
uncertain
as
to
what
the
future
held
as
we
looked
forward.
You
know
to
try
to
meet
those
those
budgetary
object
reduction
objectives.
F
We
had
to
recognize
that
some
areas
would
be
slowing
down
because
of
you
know
just
the
general
slowdown
of
economic
activity
and
and
the
inability
for
people
to
socialize
and
to
you
know,
to
work
together
on
projects
and
then
only
there
would
be
an
economic
slowdown,
but
there
would
just
be
an
economic
activity
in
slowdown,
and
so,
as
we
tried
to
distribute
our
budget
reductions
across
the
agencies,
the
main
street
program
had
to
take
a
small
reduction
for
the
next
fiscal
fiscal
years.
F
We
have
some
funds
that
were
unspent
and
so
we'd
hoped
that
when
we
could
see
restoration
of
normal
activity
and
we
could
again
get
out
in
the
field
and
work
with
partners,
we
were
hoping
that
the
remaining
funds
we
had
would
be
sufficient
that
we
could
get
through
this
this
budget
year
and
then
see
if
our
next
budget
year
provides
an
opportunity
to
restore
this
program
back
to
where
it
was.
F
This
program
is
primarily
focused
on
helping
small
rural
communities
across
across
the
state
of
nevada,
with
kind
of
urban
renewal
urban
redevelopment
projects,
and
it's
run
by
patty
herzog
of
our
agency,
who
also
leads
our
cdbg.
Grant
programs
for
rural
nevada,
and
so,
if
there's,
if
there's
an
office
for
rural
development
kind
of
anywhere
in
the
state,
it
is
here
and
we'd,
be
glad.
F
Madam
chair,
when
we
got
ready
for
this,
we
realized
that
neither
me
my
two
deputies
or
a
budget
officer
had
ever
presented
the
goad
budget,
so
we
actually
had
no
experience
beyond
the
discussion
and
lose
diner
as
to
as
to
how
to
proceed.
So
we
we.
We
appreciate
your
patience
with
us
today,
because
it's
our
first
rodeo
for
all
four
of
us
yeah,
so.
A
About
this,
okay
and
we'll
call
up
the
budgets,
as
as
we
have
them
kind
of
in
our
priorities.
Thank
you
very
much.
Director
brown.
I
know
you
have
a
number
of
people
on
standby
to
answer
any
questions
that
we
might
have
so
we'll
go
ahead
and
start
with
the
nevada
main
street
budget.
We
appreciate
your
over
your
brief,
but
yet
overarching
presentation
on
go
ed
in
general,
so
with
that,
I
believe
miss
peters
wanted
to
open
it
up
with
some
questions
and
we'll
go
from
there,
so
miss
peters.
B
I
love
this
program
having
grown
up
in
some
of
our
rural
communities
that
are
main
street
communities.
This
is
this
is
a
cool
program.
I
did
have
a
couple
clarifying
questions
as
to
this
current
budget.
We're
reviewing.
Can
you
just
go
over
what
benefits
the
agency
expects
as
a
result
of
providing
ongoing
support
for
the
nevada
main
street
program.
F
Let
me
just
say
you
know:
I
was
involved
in
revitalization
of
a
neighborhood
in
alexandria.
Virginia
mount
vernon
avenue
back
in
the
90s
was
president
of
the
delray
citizens
association
and
you
know
getting
out
on
the
ground
and
working
with
local
merchants,
local
local
government
offices
to
enhance
just
the
basic
physical
appearance.
The
streetscape
of
an
area
does
so
much
to
just
kind
of
help.
The
economic
fatality.
When
I
started
that
project
in
the
90s,
it
was
a
drug
dealer,
infested
neighborhood.
F
Today,
it's
one
of
the
hottest
neighborhoods
in
in
northern
virginia,
and
you
know
I
think
this
has
just
been
a
great
program
inspired
by
a
former
legislator
to
kind
of
help.
Our
rural
communities
help
our
tourism
base.
Tourism
is
obviously
very
important
part
of
the
rural
economy
and
and
just
celebrating
the
heritage,
the
19th
and
and
20th
century
heritage
that
we
have
out
there
and
patty
can
probably
describe
it
in
more
detail,
and
my
agency
for
the
first
time
has
actually
produced
an
annual
report
where
we
have
summarized
all
of
this
patty.
G
I
thank
you,
director
brown
and
assemblyman
assemblywoman
peters,
for
your
question.
My
name
is
patty
herzog.
For
the
record
to
your
question
about
programming
for
main
street
programs,
we
have
a
contract
with
the
national
main
street
association
to
provide
training
and
support
for
main
street
communities
within
the
state.
G
F
B
Did
you
have
a
follow-up?
I
do
I
do
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
for
that
discussion.
B
Can
you
go
into
additional
detail
on
the
name,
the
main
street
grant
projects
and
the
direct
assistance
that
the
agency
anticipates
to
provide
to
main
street
communities
in
the
upcoming
biennium.
F
Yeah
I'll
defer
to
patty
on
that.
If
you
don't
mind,
thank
you.
G
Thank
you,
patty
herzog.
For
the
record.
Again,
we
will
offer
the
same
revitalization
grants
that
we
offered
last
time
some
examples
of
the
program
grants
that
were
distributed
this
time
around
out
in
white
pine
county.
F
And
and
madam
chair
and
assemblyman
peters,
let
me
just
some
of
your
peers,
let
me
say:
patty's
staff.
While
our
activity
on
the
main
street
program
has
been
reduced,
she
has
been
spending
considerable
time.
Administering
I
think
three
cdbg
cares
act,
grants
that
have
come
to
us,
and
so
the
staff
has
been
very
busy
in
this
area.
But
as
an
example,
you
know
I'm
in
an
office
today,
but
I
have
largely
worked
from
home
for
the
last
year
as
as
most
almost
nearly
all
the
staff.
F
The
ability
to
just
get
out
and
about
has
been
severely
constrained.
The
governor
and
I
were
supposed
to
make
a
trip
to
ely
one
year
ago.
I
think
this
week
and
that
was
cancelled
because
of
the
pandemic
and
that
you
know
we
need
the
ability
to
go
out
and
about.
G
Director
and
sheriff,
if
I
may
also
during
the
pandemic
since
we
haven't,
been
able
to
to
travel
in
almost
a
year
now,
as
as
director
brown
had
mentioned,
what
we've,
what
we've
done,
is
pivoted
to
zoom
meetings
like
we're
having
today,
and
we
have
those
twice
a
month
with
all
the
mainstream
programs
in
the
state,
as
well
as
the
partner
that
were
listed
on
the
slide,
that
director
brown
shared,
I'm
very
proud
of
those
partners
with
nevada,
outdoor
recreation,
the
travel
nevada
group
and
the
state
historic
preservation
office.
In
particular.
G
We've
also
had
some
non-profits
join
those
calls,
and
that
includes
the
nevada
preservation
foundation
and
also
the
glenn
center.
This
has
been
a
great
way
for
our
main
street
communities
to
come,
connect
among
themselves
and
also
to
hear
about
all
the
great
programs
with
other
agencies
to
support
their
their
work
and
efforts.
A
Yes,
assemblywoman
peters,
I
have
three
people
in
the
queue
also,
so
if
you'd
make
it
real
brief
and
then
we'll
go
to
the
other
folks,
thank
you.
B
B
G
This
is
patty
herzog
for
the
record
to
answer
your
question.
The
partners
do
not
receive
the
grant
funding.
It's
the
communities
that
receive
that
the
partners
are
there
to
support
and
share
the
programs
that
they
offer.
So
there's
that
communication
to
the
and
service
to
the
local
communities
we
continue.
We
will
continue
to
offer
the
revitalization
grants.
As
we
have
in
the
past.
G
A
The
amounts
were
not
fully
expended
recently
and
I
understand
in
the
last
year
there's
been
a
problem
because
of
covet.
We
get
that
that's
kind
of
going
to
be
our
standard
boilerplate
why
it
happened
this
year,
but
in
the
previous
year
also
there
were
some
issues
with
monies
not
being
fully
expended.
Could
you
expand
upon
that?
Please.
G
What
we're
looking
at
with
the
main
street
program,
we
spent
a
lot
of
focus
since
the
2019
legislature
in
growing
the
program
and
bringing
communities
on
board
with
that
we're
a
grassroots
organization.
Most
of
these
communities
are
run
with
volunteer
staffs,
and
so
it
is
difficult
for
them
to
expend
funds.
So
what
we
determined
was
to
give
communities
a
longer
amount
of
time
to
expend
those
funds
and
do
larger
grants.
G
F
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much,
mr
brown.
So
with
that
chair
brooks.
C
I
just
does:
does
this
main
street
program
apply
to
beautiful
rural
nevada
main
streets
even
if
they're
last,
even
if
they're
main
street
is
spelled
with
an
e
m-a-I-n-e.
G
A
H
You,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
for
that
question.
Senator
brooke
says
that's
in
my
district
and
they've
done
it
there.
My
question
is
following
up
on
what
madam
chair
was
asking
regarding
the
the
numbers
and
the
carryover,
and
I
see
that
and
I
couldn't
find
it
in
the
bigger
volume,
the
breakdown
of
where
this
money
was
actually
spent
and,
and
it
would
be
nice
perhaps
to
get
us
all
some
pictures
of
what
before
and
afters
and
some
success
stories
on
where
this
money
was
used
and
what
it
looks
like.
H
I
drive
through
downtown
gardnerville
every
day
and
it
is
a
very
unique
and
very
impressive
downtown,
but
I
know
it
was
used
in
las
vegas
area
and
other
areas,
and
I
know
that
this
was
a
a
previous
assemblywoman,
heidi
swanks,
very
important
to
her
and
I'm
pleased
to
see
that
it's
continuing
the
question
is:
how
many
applicants
have
you
actually
had.
H
I
see
that
you
list
there
were
six
main
street
grants
for
five
different
communities,
but
there's
still
money
on
the
table
were
there
grant
applications
out
there
that
weren't
fulfilled
and
and
backing
also
what
director
brown
michael
brown
said.
Indeed,
I
was
at
the
rural
caucus
meeting
and
he
did
bring
this
up
and
I'm
just
a
little
concerned
that
number
one
I
want
to
see
some.
You
know
better
documentation
of
pre
and
post
into
success
stories.
A
G
Herzog,
addie
herzog
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
your
your
question
assembly,
woman
titus.
Yes,
I
understand
the
the
concern.
There
is
an
eligibility
requirement
in
order
to
apply
for
a
mainstream
grant.
We
ask
that
communities
be
at
the
at
the
affiliate
levels,
designated
designated
program
and,
above
so
not
all
of
the
exploring
programs
were
eligible
to
apply
for
grant
funding.
G
So
that's
why
you
see
six
communities
could
apply
for
those
grants,
so
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
was
allocated
in
grants
directly
to
communities
and
they
have
up
to
a
year
to
use
those
funds
and
that's
why
we're
seeing
the
the
delay
in
what
the
budget
shows
is
being
expended
versus
what's
out
there,
so
150
000
has
gone
out
to
communities
for
that,
and
the
purpose
of
this
program,
too
is
we:
do
have
that
national
main
street
contract
to
provide
service
as
far
as
training
for
our
main
street
communities,
the
rest
of
that
money
as
much
as
possible
goes
directly
to
service
to
the
communities
for
their
projects.
G
Your
point
about
pictures
and
projects
as
the
the
groups
are
working
on,
that
we
will
definitely
get
that
information
to
you
and,
and
also
there
is
a
grant
synopsis
that
we
can
share.
That
provides
a
description
and
amounts
of
grants
award.
H
And
I'm
sorry
if
I
missed
it,
if
I
might
follow
madam
chair,
did
you
tell
me
how
many
answer
the
question
on
how
many
applicants
there
were,
whether
they
qualified
or
not,
how
many,
how
many
applications
did
you
have
for
this
fund.
G
I
believe
for
this
grant
cycle,
we
had
seven
applications
from
eligible
communities
and
six
were
awarded.
H
G
No,
this
is
strictly
state-funded
program.
This
isn't
a
federally
funded
program.
H
Okay,
great,
thank
you
for
the
questions
and
thank
you,
madam
chair.
C
Yeah,
I
just
I
I
actually
madam
chair,
asked
my
question
just
in
regards
to
the
carryover
balance
and-
and
dr
titus
had
had
had
reiterated
that
point
and
just
kind
of
following
up
on
dr
titus's
second
point:
you
mentioned
success
that
that
that
a
certain
program
was
a
success.
G
G
We
apply
success,
measures
to
how
the
community
is
maintaining
the
statistics
from
national
mainstream
on
a
number
of
businesses
in
a
downtown
development
district.
I
will
point
again
to
the
fact
that
this
is
a
grassroots
effort
and
community-led
process,
so
the
community
can
determine
what
those
metrics
are
at
the
state
level
we're
looking
at
how
successful
they
are
in
leveraging
total
project
costs
for
the
grant
awards
that
they
receive,
and
and
also
those
metrics
with
downtown.
A
You're
welcome,
I
believe
I
have
miss
miller
next.
B
Yes,
thank
you
chair.
I
would
just
get
back
just
so.
I
have
a
better
understanding
is,
and
this
is
a
two-part
question,
first,
which
types
of
communities.
I
know
that
downtown
reno
received
some
funding,
but
does
this
do
our
communities
in
the
urban
core
in
clark
county
also
qualify
such
as
the
hunt,
ridge,
community
or
historic
west
side,
and
also
you
mentioned
that
there
were
seven
communities
that
applied,
but
only
six
were
awarded.
Can
you
tell
us
who
was
that
seventh
community
that
applied
and
why
were
they
denied.
G
Thank
you
for
your
question.
This
is
patty
herzog
for
the
record.
Thank
you,
assemblywoman
miller.
I
can
get
that
information
to
you,
I'm
sorry.
I
can't
pull
that
off
the
top
of
my
head
right
now,
but
I
will
provide
that
information
to
you
on
the
one
community
that
did
not
receive
the
grant
funding.
G
Thank
you
for
that
question.
We
do
have
southern
nevada
programs
in
the
main
street
program,
specifically
mesquite,
boulder
city
and
henderson
have
been
involved,
they're
at
the
exploring
level
at
boulder
city
and
in
the
city
of
henderson
to
those
those
core
urban
areas
that
you
were
talking
about
in
in
las
vegas
early
in
the
program.
When
I
started
at
goed,
I
did
meet
with
some
leaders
in
that
area,
not
one
for
excuses.
G
B
Thank
you
for
that.
So
are
there
no
funds
in
las
vegas
or
in
clark
county
right
now,
besides,
you
mentioned
boulder
city
and
laughlin
and
mesquite
are
considering
or
planning,
but
is
there
no
funds
going
into
southern
nevada.
G
G
Made
my
memory
jog
there
mesquite
was
the
one
community
that
did
not
receive
grant
funding
because
the
the
project
was,
it
was
deemed
to
be.
G
A
Thank
you,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
I
believe
the
last
question
on
this
item
will
be
from
senator
seaversganzer.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
so
you
mentioned
that
a
number
of
the
the
communities
were
not
eligible
because
they
were
at
the
explorer
program
versus.
I
can't
remember
if
it
was
associate
program.
So
that's
that's
one
question
and
then
you
also
mentioned
that
the
downtown
reno
partnership
was
able
to
leverage
their
grant
funds
for
federal
funds.
I
So
a
couple
things:
how
do
you
go
from
explorer
to
associate
and
then,
as
far
as,
are
you
encouraging
and
is
that
part
of
your
application
to
see
what
type
of
funds
they
can
how
they
can
use
these
dollars
to
leverage
more
dollars?
I
think
you
mentioned
that,
but
not
specifically
around
federal
dollars.
Thank
you.
I
G
G
The
exploring
level
allows
any
community
to
be
a
part
of
the
program
and
learn
and
get
the
training
attend.
The
national
main
street
conference
connect
with
other
communities
across
the
country
who
are
also
working
on
this,
but
the
minimum
level
that
we
felt
at
in
our
office
for
for
funding
projects
would
require
support
from
the
local
community
in
the
form
of
having
an
established
board
and
a
director
for
their
program.
G
A
You
thank
you
missy.
I
appreciate
that.
I
believe
all
the
questions
have
been
asked
on
this
program
happy
to
see
it
actually
have
a
budget
number
now
we're
moving
forward
and
addressing
these
issues.
So
with
that,
I
believe
the
next
on
my
list
budget
to
discuss
is
budget
number
1526,
director
brown.
F
Oh
yes,
1526
is
essentially
the
operating
budget
for
go
ad
with
most
of
the
staff
and
the
general
administrative
overhead
to
kind
of
run
run
run
the
operation.
It
also
includes
the
grants
to
our
regional
development
authorities.
We
have
seven
regional
development
authorities
in
partnership
with
the
state,
for
those
of
you
that
weren't
here
when
go
ed,
was
created.
F
The
economic
development
system
before
goed
was
a
loose
confederation
of
economic
development
authorities
across
the
state
and
when
they
set
the
goals
out
for
goed,
the
first
was
to
diversify,
was
to
regionalize,
unify
and
diversify,
and
the
unified
part
was
creating
the
rda's,
the
two
most
well-known
or
the
three
most
well-known
rob
hooper
here
in
the
carson
city
area,
mike
kuzmierski
and
reno,
and
jonas
peterson
in
southern
nevada.
F
But
we
also
have
folks
deeper
in
the
rurals
that
are
that
are
managing
those
rdas
and
those
are
our
501
c
sixes,
with
state
support
as
a
state
charter
where
they
have
reporting
obligations
to
us.
We
are
we've
had
one
position,
that's
been
associated
with
the
agency,
but
never
filled.
This
budget
get
eliminates
that
position
going
forward
and-
and
so
like
I
say
this
is
the
basic
general
administrative
overhead
account
for
the
agency.
A
C
Thank
you,
chair
carlton,
and
thank
you,
director
brown
and
for
your
whole
team
today
for
showing
up
and
helping
us
out,
I've
got
there's.
I
have
several
questions,
but
I'll
start
with.
C
If
you
could,
please
describe
the
implications
of
the
reduced
grants
to
the
regional
development
authorities
and
and
and
on
on
the
achieving
your
goals
and
also
how
that
distribution
across
the
state
was
was
established
with
an
understanding
that
decades
of
economic
development,
money
spent
in
northern
and
central
nevada
have
worked
out
very
well
for
them,
and
and
and
we
saw
that
for
this
pandemic
and
we
need.
We
have
the
least
amount
of
diversification
of
each
state
in
the
entire
country
in
southern
nevada,
with
that
through
that
lens.
F
Thank
you,
senator
michael
brown
for
the
record,
madam
chair
and
senator
two
very
good
questions,
and
I
want
to
start
with
the
second
one.
First,
if
you
don't
mind
and
what
I've
seen
when
I
my
little
elevator
speech
about
nevada
right
now
is
that
northern
nevada
was
very
successful
when
it
landed
the
tesla,
it's
panasonic
and
the
industrial
park
there
and
right
now
it's
growth
on
growth
and
mike
kuzmirsky
and
his
team
and
the
community
responded
to
that
challenge.
F
Recovery
hinges
on
our
ability
to
fix
cracks
in
our
economic
framework
and
a
great
effort
was
was
undertaken
there.
Rural
nevada,
rural
nevada,
as
you
well
know,
is,
is
right
for
energy
investment,
lithium
investment
and
rural
nevada
leaders.
I
encourage
to
focus
in
on
broadband
and
bringing
the
mining
vendor
chain
to
rural
nevada.
F
F
So
you
know
you
get
into
really
different
proportions
when
you're
in
southern
nevada.
What
I'm
finding
right
now
is
that
we're
getting
calls
from
companies
that
are
interested
in
coming
to
nevada.
They
want
to
be
in
the
pacific
time
zone.
They
don't
want
to
be
in
california.
We
have
californians
that
want
to
come
over
onto
this
side.
F
And
you
know
the
struggle
with
company
towns,
whether
it
be
a
mining
town
or
an
entertainment
town,
is
that
they
tend
to
consume.
They
tend
to
compete
heavily
for
the
workforce,
so
you
need
to
build
the
strong
workforce.
You
need
to
have
the
infrastructure
and
everything
in
place
for
those
opportunities
and
so
going
forward.
What
you're
going
to
see
is
my
office
spending
considerable
time
on
matters
in
southern
nevada.
I
have
now
started
a
monthly
meeting
with
local
government
officials
down
there,
which
was
not
done
before,
where
we
just
troubleshoot
the
issues.
F
What
is
in,
how
do
we
untangle
some
of
the
infrastructure
issues
so
that
we
can
further
develop
diversify
southern
southern
nevada
and
you'll
see
allah
spending
a
lot
of
time
there
as
to
the
budgets,
as
these
were
put
together,
I
will
let
bob
potts
perhaps
explain
that
he
kind
of
manages
this
relationship,
but
these
you
know
in
having
to
take
the
spending
reductions.
F
You
know,
as
I
learned
in
the
private
sector
when,
when
you
hit
a
bad
patch
road
and
you
get
a
period
of
austerity,
you
have
to
make
cuts
quickly
with
the
information
you
have
at
hand.
Rdas
absorb
the
budget
reductions
we
put
in
last
year
and
we
moved
forward.
You
know
from
secretary
rumsfeld
said
you
go
to
war
with
the
army.
F
You
have
you
know,
and
that's
that's
what
we're
trying
to
do
now
as
we
move
into
the
recovery
stage,
not
the
most
ideal
situation,
but
I
understand
the
austerity
that
faces
nevada,
but
what
I
can
tell
you
is
with
southern
nevada
being
the
economic
engine
of
this
state.
It
is
the
area
where
I
will
be
spending
a
considerable
amount
of
my
time,
trying
to
put
the
pieces
in
place
to
diversify
that
economy
and
bob.
If
you
want
to
say
a
few
words
practically
about
how
the
budgets
work.
J
Sure,
absolutely
for
the
record,
bob
potts,
I'm
deputy
director,
go
with
senator,
brooks
thanks
for
the
question
so
figuring
out
how
to
slice
up
the
rda
grandpa
has
always.
You
know.
We've
worked
through
that
on
a
number
of
different
iterations.
You
know.
Obviously,
we
work
very
closely
with
thinking
about
a
redistricting
type
formula
based
on
populations
and
jobs,
but
if
you
look
at
it
just
like
that,
you
barely
give
the
rurals
enough
to
to
survive.
J
So
the
way
that
they're
funded
is
we
have
a
baseline
funding
for
each
of
the
counties
prior
to
the
cuts.
It
was
55
000,
a
county
that
was
enough
to
get
them
started,
but
the
second
reason
we
wanted
to
go
down
that
road
is:
it
encourages
counties
to
work
together
and
and
build
regional
economic
development
authorities.
J
If
you
think
about
how
economies
work
they
work
as
regions,
they
don't
necessarily
work
based
on
political
political
boundaries.
So,
for
those
two
reasons,
if
you
can
get
them
to
couple
up,
if
you
can
get
two
counties
together,
that
gives
you
55
000.
If
you
don't
have
the
population
base
to
get
you
there,
that
gives
you
enough
to
get
an
executive
director
for
regional
development
authority,
so
you
can
actually
get
some
economic
development
done
in
some
of
these
rural
regions.
J
Okay,
so
anything
above
that
52
000,
then
we
go
to
a
strict
redistricting
formula.
So
thinking
about
population,
it's
based
on
population
and
so
clark
county
gets
the
las
vegas
global
economic
alliance.
By
far
away
gets
the
largest
proportion
followed
by
edon
nba
comes
in
there
and
n
rdas,
so
that's
kind
of
how
the
funding
works.
Hope
that
answers
your
questions.
C
It
does
answer
my
question
and
it
I
I
mean
just
looking
at
the
numbers:
it's
not
proportional
to
the
population,
but
the
rationale
that
you
use,
mr
potts,
makes
a
ton
of
sense.
So
I
appreciate
that
madam
chair
kind
of
follow
up
on
that
sure
go
ahead,
that
position
that
you're
you're
eliminating.
Where
is
that
in
in
what
does
that
position?
What
would
that
position
have
done.
F
It's
never
had
an
incumbent,
thank
you,
yeah,
madam
chair
and
senator
michael
brown.
If
I
could
just
say
one
more
thing
about
the
the
challenge
in
southern
nevada.
This
is
a
personal
observation
both
when
I
was
bni
director
and
now
that
I'm
go
ed
director
is,
I
have
probably
shown
up
a
half
dozen
times
at
meetings
with
officials
in
southern
nevada
and
I've
gotten
this
reaction
of
the
state.
F
The
states
come
to
the
meeting
and
I
gathered
that
it
just
it
wasn't
common
that
southern
nevadans
tended
to
look
to
local
government
first
and
foremost
and
weren't
accustomed
to
state
officials
showing
up
with
a
a
an
interest.
I
came
to
an
rda
advisory
committee
meeting
of
about
50
people
just
before
the
pandemic,
and
the
reaction
was
the
state
is
here.
You
know
you
know
I
don't
mind
it
at
all,
but
it
and
that's
why
I've
started
this
direct
discussion
with
the
four
local
governments
in
southern
nevada
on
these
matters.
K
K
I
think,
if
my
recollection
is
correct,
that
in
your
budget
on
state
trade
and
the
step
program
which
I
which
are
federal
dollars,
but
then
the
inner
city,
economic
development
dollars,
are
those
program
dollars
pushed
down
to
the
rda
as
well
or
those
held
at
goad,
and
your
staff
uses
those
dollars.
F
Madam
chair
and
leader,
I
stand
to
be
corrected
by
my
staff,
but
I
believe
those
are
all
administered
here.
K
K
I
appreciate
that
and
then,
madam
chair,
can
I
ask
another
question
sure,
thank
you
so
much
so
I
see
that
we
have
in
budget
e68,
I'm
sorry
e125
an
addition
of
612
000,
but
then
in
budget
e
680,
a
reduction
of
441
and
they're
about
so
I
guess
I
was
trying
to
figure
out
where
we
settle
with,
with
with
those
with
those
two
budgets
and
those
grants.
F
K
So
if
I'm
correct,
then
we
it
looks
to
be
like
we
end
up
with
about
oh
gosh.
My
arithmetic
is
bad,
but
250ish
thousand
dollars,
but
I'll.
Let
staff
correct
me
if
I,
if
my,
if
I'm
putting
something
horribly
inaccurate
on
the
record,.
F
Madam
karen,
if
someone
I
need
to
do
the
same
on
this
leandra,
our
budget
person,
I
think,
is
online.
She
might
be
able
to
clarify
that.
B
Good
morning,
leandra
diosa,
director
of
administration,
for
the
record.
So
after
those
two
decision
units,
one
that
increases
the
grants
to
the
rdas
and
the
other,
one
that
reduces
the
grants,
will
end
up
with
2.5
million
dollars
in
each
year
of
the
fiscal.
K
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
some
leader.
The
other
thing
I
would
also
say
is
you
know,
there's
is
chartered
as
501
c
sixes,
but
they
hadn't
met
as
a
group,
and
I
convened
before
the
pandemic
seems
like
what
I
always
say
now
before
the
pandemic
we
actually
convened.
F
K
A
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
diaz
thompson.
I
do
have
three
other
folks
who
do
have
questions
so
that
if
they
would
each
ask
their
question,
I
believe
I
will
go
to
senator
kitkapper
next.
D
D
I
hear
you
talked
a
couple
times
about
the
sort
of
transformative
impact
that
the
national
panasonic
project
had
on
the
raw
economic
development
efforts
in
northern
nevada
that
success
in
terms
of
diversification
that
you
know,
southern
nevada
is
just
a
much
larger
ship
to
turn
right
when
it
comes
to
diversifying
our
economy,
and
so
you
know,
we
tried,
with
the
faraday
project,
to
lure
one
of
those
same
type
of
transformative
projects
to
southern
nevada.
Unfortunately,
that
one
didn't
work
out.
D
Okay,
if
we
roll
the
dice
sometimes,
but
I'm
curious
as
to
whether,
in
this
discussion
about
rdas,
whether
it
is
still
the
mission
of
your
office
and
the
governor
to
work
on
attracting
those
types
of
major
transformative
projects
or
whether
we're
still
working
or
whether,
at
this
point
we're
working
on
base
infrastructure
surrounding
economic.
F
F
Can
we
get
senator
cortez
master
troubleshooting
business
has
basically
been
frozen
up,
obviously,
and
scrambling
to
deal
with
the
challenge
of
the
dependent,
but
what
I
will
tell
you,
since
the
start
of
the
year,
both
lvga
edon
and
goet
have
received
inquiries
from
very
serious
corporations
that
are
looking
at
how
they're
situated
they
either
have
manufacturing
abroad.
They
want
to
bring
back
the
united
states,
they
might
have
manufactured
in
california
that
they
want
to
consolidate
somewhere.
F
The
consulting
firm
mckenzie
put
out
something
about
two
weeks
ago
that
that
quantified,
this
and-
and
it
said
that
you
know
looking
it
said
that
basically,
we
will
look
at
our
economy
with
21
being
a
pivot
year
and
that
we
will
refer
to
this
as
pre-pandemic
and
post-pandemic
economists,
and
so
what
we
expect
to
see
is
an
on
showing
of
american
manufacturing
a
res,
a
sorting
out
of
within
the
private
sector
of
logistics
and
and
things
of
that
nature,
and-
and
so
we
are
having
those
discussions
more
than
at
any
point
in
my
short
tenure
here
and
more
than
in
the
last
two
years,
and
the
rdas
have
effectively.
F
You
know
are
really
at
the
front
line
of
all
this
now
on
the
recruitment
side,
business
intelligence.
You
know
this
is
a
a
a
difficult
period
to
understand
what
companies
are
trying
to
do,
but
I
will
tell
you
right
now:
our
plate
is
full
with
companies
that
want
to
talk
to
us
and
and
work
through
some
of
these
issues,
so
that
we
can
can
prepare
competitive
proposals,
and
I
say
that
I
really
want
to
emphasize.
F
This
is
a
very
competitive
process
and
utah
and
arizona
are
well
positioned
in
the
western
united
states,
and
so
what
I'm
trying
to
do,
as
a
coach,
maybe
is
to
get
nevada
as
competitive
as
possible
to
compete
in
that
arena.
I
hope
that
answers
your
question
and
I
I'd
be
glad
to
submit
this
mckenzie
article
for
the
record,
because
I
thought
it
really
summarized.
There
was
a
lot
of
hype
in
the
fall,
but
this
is
the
first
time
where
what
I'm
experiencing
aligns
with
what
the
advisors
are
saying.
D
I
appreciate
that
I
think
that
you
know
as
we
as
we
try
to
move
forward
and
diversify,
particularly
in
southern
nevada.
It
should
be
in
everything
on
the
table
to
sort
of
option
for
us
and
using
all
the
tools
that
are
at
our
disposal
to
work
with
those
companies
that
are
looking
to
onshore
american
bank
or
whatever
it
might
be
all
the
items
you
described.
F
Thank
madam
chair
and
senator
michael
brown
for
the
record.
Thank
you
senator.
I
appreciate
that
this
is
the
moment.
I
will
also
say
that
this
was
a
small
world.
There
are
specialized
real
estate
agents
called
site
selectors
that
are
often
retained
by
these
companies,
and
so
they've
already
done
the
sort
when
they've
called
us.
You
know
and
want
a
request
for
information
and
asked
us
to
prepare
a
proposal
and
my
staff's
working
on
about
four
or
five
different
proposals.
F
A
M
M
I
see
here
that
we
have
some
funds
that
are
going
to
be
utilized
for
for
consulting
services
and
economic
analysis,
the
tune
of
in
in
decision
unit,
eve
dash
125
for
153
000,
and
I
just
wanted
to
get
a
better
clarification
of
what
that's
going
to
be
used
for
and
in
particular,
in
the
backdrop
of
the
fact
that
I
know
in
ifc
on
in
september,
we
approved
some
cares,
act
funding
for
consulting
services
and
economic
analysis.
M
One
almost
1.1
million
of
cares
act
for
the
economic
response
plan
and
which
we
supported,
and
then
1.2
million
for
the
nevada,
labor
certification
plan
and
workforce
skills
matching
platform.
So
just
wanted
to
get
an
idea
of
what
these
new
consulting
services
and
that
we're
asking
for
in
this
budget.
F
Yeah,
thank
you
assemblywoman
and
madam
chair.
When
I
came
over
here
the
term
I
like
to
use
the
easter
egg
that
I
found
when
I
got
here
was
the
analytical
team
that
bob
potts
leads
and
our
relations
with
john
restrepo
and
some
of
the
other
economic
consultants
in
the
state,
because
we
have
been
able
to
put
a
policy
foundation
to
a
lot
of
what
goed
does
and
those
funds
and
bob
potts
can
elaborate.
Basically
to
support
this.
F
The
the
one-off
spot,
economic
analysis
that
we
need
to
create
for
special
projects
or
areas
where
we
need
deeper
knowledge
and
I'll.
Let
bob
potts
explain
that.
J
Thank
you
michael
for
the
record
again
bob
potts,
so
I
want
to
go
back
a
little
bit
to
senator
keith
kepper's
earlier
question
or
talking
about
the
rdas.
We
have
an
amazingly
close
relationship
with
the
rdas
right
now
on
regular
weekly
calls
or
every
other
week
right
now,
really
coordinating
making
sure
during
this
recovery
and
resiliency
point
to
the
point
that
he
made
about
it
takes
a
long
term
for
diversification,
especially
with
a
large
economy
like
southern
nevada.
J
It
does
take
a
long
time
and
change
doesn't
happen.
I
often
think
about
economic
development.
I'm
just
celebrating
my
ninth
year
with
working
in
this
agency
and
economic
development
is
synonymous
with
change
and
change.
Nobody
likes
change
very
much
unless
they
need
it
and
we're
at
a
place.
Now
where
change
is
critically
important.
Once
again,
as
we
deal
with
the
pro-cyclical
nature
of
southern
nevada's
economy,
ways
that
that
gets
done
is,
if
you
have
a
landing
spot
for
the
companies.
J
That
michael
was
talking
about
that
we
have
in
queue
right
now.
We
need
to
have
the
right
infrastructure.
We
need
to
have
the
right
workforce,
we
create
opportunities
for
dislocated
workers,
and
so
we
work
very
closely
with
the
training
programs,
training
providers,
educational
institutions
across
the
board,
and
with
that
I
will
maybe
getting
back
to
assemblywoman
tools's
question.
J
I'm
going
to
refer
our
workforce
development
director,
stacey
bostwick
she's,
on
the
call
here
too,
and
she
can
give
you
some
stats
is
where
things
currently
stand
with
the
skills
match
platform
with
labor
certification
study
and
where
we
are,
as
far
as
pushing
forward
this
qualified
workforce
that
we
need.
J
I
often
say
this:
is
it
great
companies
that
create
a
great
workforce,
or
is
it
a
great
workforce
that
attracts
great
companies
and
the
answer
to
both
those
questions
is
yes,
and
so
we
are
intimately
involved
at
a
whole
host
of
levels
on
the
workforce
side
of
things,
but
I'll
I'll
leave
it
there
and
let
stacey
give
you
a
little
feedback
where
we
stand
with
those
two
platforms
that
we
use:
cd
dollars
for.
N
Good
morning,
stacey
foster
for
the
record
just
wanted
to
share
a
couple
of
things
in
relation
to
our
skills
match
efforts.
We
shared
a
bunch
of
information
about
how
this
has
gone
out
and
launched.
N
We
had
several
training
programs
or
sessions
with
partners
who
are
really
working
with
folks
on
the
front
line,
and
so
we're
really
excited
about
those
we've
had
nearly
2
000
unique
visitors
in
nevada
use
this
system,
and
I
think
the
the
metric
for
me,
that's
probably
the
most
meaningful
is
that
somewhere
around
70
to
80,
so
about
13
to
1400
those
individuals
are
using
that
platform
to
job
search
and
so
that
that
tool
basically
is
helping
individuals,
identify
their
skills
and
identify
job
opportunities
that
they
can
use
those
skills
at
where
there
are
actual
job
opportunities
at
this
time.
M
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Can
I
follow
up?
Yes,
brief.
Please
thank
you
for
those
stats.
I
guess
I
still
didn't
hear
the
answer
to
the
question
that
how
we
use
the
rough
2.3
million
that
we
authorized
through
ifc
in
september.
So
thank
you
for
the
update
on
that,
but
how
this,
how
this
budget
request
for
for
this
biennium
of
153
will
be
used.
F
Let
me
explain:
I'm
sorry,
michael
brown,
for
the
record
so
when
that
came
through,
that
was
a
joint
effort
between
us
and
the
treasurer
and
efforts
to
get
ready
to
stand
up
programs
in
support
of
the
state
infrastructure
bank.
F
I
Madam
chair
and
thank
you,
director,
brown
and
your
staff
for
all
the
work
that
you're
doing.
I
appreciated
that
you
started
out
with
a
map
and
kind
of
showed
our
relative
diversification
and
as
senator
keith,
keffer
and
others
have
pointed
out.
Southern
nevada
is
this:
the
ship.
We
need
to
try
to
write
because
we're
doing
pretty
well
in
a
lot
of
other
areas
and
it's
with
the
pandemic
and
just
part
of
the
pandemic.
I
mean
you
and
I
talked
recently.
I
You
were
working
on
a
new
strategic
plan
because
I
think
it's
important
that,
even
during
robust
times
that
we're
working
on
a
strategic
plan
to
figure
out
what
our
advantages
are,
what
are
what
are
where
we
have
deficits
so
that
we
can
create
a
more
diversified
workforce
and
bring
other
businesses
in.
F
Yes,
thank
you
senator
and
madam
chair
quickly.
Yes,
we
have
started
a
conventional
economic
development
planning
process
before
the
pandemic
as
we
got
into
the
pandemic,
and
we
looked
back
at
what
pandemics
do
to
economies
and
we
looked
at
the
1918
experience.
F
We
realized
that
the
world
was
going
to
be
very
different
and
looking
backwards
was
not
going
to
be
much
of
help,
and
so
I
actually
asked
sri
to
provide
a
ongoing
sra
international
have
been
retained
to
help
on
this
ongoing
support
for
the
for
our
office
in
the
governor's
office
and
providing
economic
advice
and
helping
us
make
application
for
federal
dollars.
F
Bob
potts
assembled
a
statewide
team
of
all
the
state
economists
that
met
every
thursday
with
support
from
sri,
as
we've
attempted
to
give
policy
options
to
leadership
and
then
then,
as
we,
then
they
provided
help
with
us
on
relief
and
encouraged
us
on
federal
funding
in
that
area
and
then
finally,
we
turn
to
them
in
the
fall
and
say
you
know,
we
need
a
resiliency
plan.
F
We
need
something
that's
going
to
carry
us
for
about
18
months
as
we
go
through
this
very
turbulent
water
and
get
to
where
we
need
to
be
where
we
could
then
restore
some
kind
of
more
conventional
planning,
and
so
they
presented
us
with
a
report
that
we
have
filed
with
this
committee.
That's
the
resiliency
plan,
some
of
the
ideas
that
were
in
there
were
included
in
the
state
of
the
state
and
constitute
what
this
agency
will
be
focusing
on
going
forward
on
the
workforce
side.
F
As
you
know,
the
governor
has
rec
is
moving
owen
over
yeah
to
dieter
and
has
recently
appointed
the
leader
of
of
owen,
and
we
we
have
a
lot
of
collaboration
with
that
and
look
forward
to
engaging
on
the
workforce
issues.
I
F
Thank
you
senator
madame
chair,
michael
brown,
for
the
record
infrastructure.
Yes,
on
two
sides,
one
the
governor's
recommended
funding
and
and
to
build
out
the
infrastructure
bank
zach
conan,
my
my
great
partner
in
so
many
issues.
Now,
I'm
so
pleased
working
with
him,
we'll
be
working
on
that.
But
then
internally,
I
grew
frustrated
with
the
number
of
calls.
F
I
would
get
about
power
lines
and
things
like
that
and
off
ramps,
and
I
said
to
chris
sanchez:
can
you
put
a
little
group
of
of
southern
nevada
leaders
together
at
the
deputy
level
and
try
to
sort
out?
You
know
the
things
that
are
entangled,
and
so
he
over
the
next
60
days,
is
going
to
be
working
on
that
so
that
I
understand
what
needs
to
be
fixed
and
then
hopefully,
if
there's
more
federal
relief
in
this
area,
you
know
we'll
be
well
prepared.
A
A
Thank
you,
miss
seaver
skanser,
not
seeing
anyone
else
wishing
to
be
recognized
at
this
time.
I
think
we've
pretty
much
asked
the
questions
that
I
had
phantom
chair,
miss.
K
I
just
want
to
put
it
on
the
record
that
in
the
past
there
there
has
been
some
some
tension
between
the
amount
of
the
international
travel,
that
staff
and
and
folks
would
take
and
then
kind
of
showing
that
that
resulted
in
meaningful
investments
back
in
nevada
and
so
as
we
I
know,
the
reduction
is
less
but
as
we
start
to
travel,
I
would
just
hope
that
those
kinds
of
questions
and
conversations
always
continue
on
in
this
committee.
K
We've
had
you
know
a
great
document
that
go
had
produced
for
us
a
couple
of
years
ago,
maybe
a
year
and
a
half
two
years
ago
about
the
travel,
the
the
the
irelands,
the
africa's
the
poland's.
I
mean
all
these
international
trips
that
staff
were
on
and
then
the
conversation
about
now.
What
did
this
actually
produce?
K
A
Thank
you
very
much,
miss
vanitas
thompson.
I
guess
the
only
comment
that
I
would
have
and
thank
you
committee
members
very
much
for
all
of
your
your
great
questions
but
mr
brown,
and
to
to
those
of
your
folks,
the
the
my
no
you
could
probably
guess
what
I'm
about
to
say
is
thank
you
for
reaching
out.
We
do
want
to
create
more
jobs,
but
I
really
don't
want
to
see
us
working
towards
jobs
that
end
up
on
our
list
of
employees
who
receive
a
huge
amount
of
medicaid.
A
So
I
know
that
you'll
be
very
cognizant
of
the
fact
that
it's
not
just
any
company.
We
do
want
companies
here,
but
we
want
companies
that
will
do
the
best
for
the
folks
of
nevada
and
not
lay
the
burden
of
their
health
care
on
the
state
with
medicaid
or
other
safety
net
providers
being
there
to
provide
part
of
the
benefit
package
for
those
employees.
And
I
know
you
will
always
keep
that
in
the
back
of
your
mind,
but
I
feel
it's
necessary
that
we
always
have
that
in
the
record
as
part
of
the
conversation.
F
That
your
team
is
doing
and
chair.
I
appreciate
you
saying
that
that
is
something
the
governor
and
I
had
very
long
discussions
about,
and
you
know
we
we
are
trying
to
set
the
bar
higher.
We
are
trying
to
encourage
these
companies
to
bring
other
proposals
forward,
but
tell
us
also
about
your
corporate
social
responsibility
program.
Our
application
now
includes
questions
about
corporate
social
responsibility,
hiring
diversity,
veterans
of
that
matter.
You
know
it's
a
question:
do
you
want
in
when
I
was
in
the
mining
business?
F
It
was
like
you
could
produce
a
lot
of
ounces
where
you
could
produce
a
number
of
ounces
profitably,
and
you
know
we
need
to
we
need.
If
we're
going
to
be
granting
incentives
and
abatements,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
those
are
quality
jobs.
On
the
other
side,
the
governor
feels
extronly
about
this,
and-
and
I
have
heard
the
message
from
the
committee
and
will
endeavor
to
do
so-.
A
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
members
of
committee
nevada,
film
office.
It's
been
a
challenge
this
year,
I'll
just
I'll
I'll,
say:
nevada
film
office
is
funded
by
through
the
tourism,
from
the
tourism
tax,
the
department
of
tourism,
on
the
tourism
tax
and
and
yet
we've
had
a
a
really
good
year
of
supporting
television
programs
lifetime
christmas
movies.
F
Things
of
reality
shows
that
have
been
going
on
in
the
background
during
this
during
this
difficult
year,
however,
it
has
been
a
challenge
to
keep
the
little
office
whole
chris
sanchez,
who
oversees
it
worked
with
eric
who
runs
it.
Then
we
made
a
series
of
general
administrative
overhead
reductions.
F
We
closed
their
physical
office
and
consolidated
them
to
save
rental
money
with
the
p-tech
office.
We've
done
about
every
cost
measure
we
can,
and
fortunately,
congress
is
authorized
in
the
cares
act.
Some
provisions
that
allowed
us
to
use
some
karzak
dollars
for
the
promotion
of
tourism,
but
it
it
has
been
a
struggle
to
keep
the
film
office
operating.
F
I
think,
based
on
what
leander's
told
me
that
we
can
make
it
to
the
end
of
this
fiscal
year,
but
it
has
been
a
struggle
and
it
comes
at
a
time
where
we
believe-
and
this
gets
back
to
senator
kikafer's
inquiry
where
there
is.
There
is
considerable
disruption
going
on
in
the
hollywood
community
and
we
are
getting
inquiries
from
individuals
that
are
interested
in
in
coming
to
southern
nevada.
F
Where
you
know
a
a
movie
star
could
fly
over
here,
do
a
scene
and
fly
back
and
have
dinner
with
their
family
on
the
same
night
or
take
the
brightline
train
at
some
point
back
and
forth
the
struggle
we
have
with
with
films
we
actually,
despite
being
this
global
entertainment
capital
of
the
world,
we
don't
have
film
studio
in
southern
nevada.
F
We
have
some
kind
of
attempt,
I
think
somewhere
behind
caesars,
but
we
don't
have
a
production
studio
in
southern
nevada
and
when
I
get
to
these
issues
of
infrastructure,
what
keeps
us
from
diversified
not
having
that
kind
of
a
private
sector
facility
is
a
major
detriment
to
us.
I
think
film
is
one
where
we
have
opportunities,
but
I
will
also
say
that
this
is
an
industry
where
there's
fierce
competition
from
georgia,
vancouver
toronto
new
mexico.
F
You
know
you
either
you
either
play
you,
you
have
to
go
to
the
table
prepared
to
play,
you
can't
be
timid
about
it,
and
so
it's
an
area
that
eric
and
chris
have
spent
a
lot
of
time
looking
at
this
this
past
year
and
is
actually
an
area
that
I
think,
offers
great
potential,
and
we
have
the
irony
of
trying
to
sustain
the
payer
film,
the
office
employees.
It's
done
so.
A
Thank
you
director.
We
we
understand
the
challenge.
I
know
there
were
a
lot
of
folks
that
did
want
to
come
here.
Unfortunately,
when
the
strip
was
shut
down
because
they
got
the
opportunity
to
get
the
shots
that
they
needed.
But
after
that
it
there
there
wasn't
a
lot
of
interest
on
on
different
things.
So
senator
dennis
you
had
some
questions.
D
Thank
you
and
you
kind
of
alluded
to
them
already.
George
brown,
the
the
you
know,
you've
got
to
reduce
budget
this
year
and
your
advertising
budget
is
less
how
you
know
I
mean.
Are
you
you,
you
kind
of
alluded
to
this
already,
but
I
mean
you're
going
to
be
able
to
to
be
able
to
continue
doing
the
work
that
you're
doing,
especially
with
all
the
interests
that
there
is
now
and
coming
to
nevada.
F
Yes,
thank
you
senator
madam
chair.
It's
gonna,
be
I'm
gonna,
be
spending
a
good
part
of
this
week
on,
because
I
know
that
there
is
capital
out
there.
That's
interested
in
coming
being
deployed
here,
and
I
need
to
see
how
I
can
get
some
folks
on
the
same
page.
So
we
can
have
a
robust
discussion
about
this.
It
has
been
a
challenge
director.
F
D
So
and
what
about
potential
revenue
sources
to
support
this
in
the
future-
and
you
kind
of
alluded
to
that
too-
is
there
opportunities
to
be
able
to
get
some
additional
revenues
to
support
the
office.
F
I
don't
know
at
this
point
if
there
are
any
opportunities,
it's
as
it's
an
area
where
I
need
to
spend
more
time
on
this
month.
Frankly,.
D
Yeah,
I
I
know
when
we
first
did
the
the
credits
way
back
when
the
big
thing
was
to
trying
to
attract
people
to
actually
build
facilities
here,
so
that
we
could
have
those
ongoing
jobs.
And
you
know,
hopefully
we
can
do
that.
So
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
the
the
you
have
that
directory
the
printed
directory
that
you've
done
for
years
and
that
brings
in
revenue
because
you
do
advertising.
But
if,
if
you're
not
going
to
print
that
and
have
that
advertising
revenue,
I
get
doing
the
online
stuff.
O
You
I
appreciate
the
opportunity:
this
is
eric
price.
I'm,
the
director
of
the
nevada
film
office,
the
printed
directory
is
going
to
go
away
and
we
will
continue
with
the
online
digital
directory
since
we
have
had
both
we've
had
both
for
10
plus
years
now.
The
digital
directory
has
continued
to
show
an
increase
in
activity
as
more
people
go
on
the
web
and
look
for
resources.
O
So
by
going
fully
digital,
yes,
we
will
lose
some
of
the
impact
of
the
printed
directory,
but
we
will
gain
a
lot
of
the
advantages
of
reduced
costs,
while
giving
more
options
to
the
people
that
do
choose
to
advertise,
giving
them
greater
flexibility
and
more
opportunity
to
attract
the
online
customers
in
which
we're
seeing
a
great
increase
in
the
number
of
people
that
are
using
our
online
directory.
O
D
With
all
the
stuff
going
on,
especially
more
people
watching
like
netflix
and
other
things,
do
you
see
an
interest?
I
mean
an
interest
in
increasing
production
and
are
they
interested
in
coming
to
nevada.
O
The
cbs's
love
island
is
a
great
example
that
typically
films
in
tahiti
or
fiji,
but
they
did
a
full
season
from
the
roof
of
the
of
the
cromwell,
and
I
noted
that
in
our
presentation
that
that
brought
in
about
15
million
dollars
of
direct
expenditures.
So
since
the
pandemic,
we've
seen
that
people
specifically
have
come
to
las
vegas
to
film,
but
also
as
a
result
of
the
pandemic,
we've
seen
a
greater
increase
in
the
number
of
production
companies
that
want
to
relocate
and
land
here
to
open
studios.
Here.
O
O
They
see
it
as
an
ancient
opportunity,
but,
as
director
brown
had
mentioned,
we
quite
simply
lack
the
infrastructure
for
them
to
do
so,
and
by
having
proper
infrastructure,
I
believe
we
will
attract
even
more
interest
and
opportunity.
You
know
the
entertainment
industry
is
is
a
a
way
to
diversify
our
economy.
O
That
also
is
a
synergistic
relationship
with
the
industries
that
we
already
have
here
in
southern
nevada,
the
ability
to
create
content
to
gain
the
attention
of
the
consumer
and
direct
that
attention
where
we
want
it
to
go,
which
is
our
brands,
our
brands
of
las
vegas
and
southern
nevada,
and
our
brands
of
reno
and
tahoe
and
northern
nevada.
The
ability
to
get
their
attention
through
content
is
never
been
a
greater
opportunity
than
it
is
now
as
a
result
of
the
pandemic.
D
Well-
and
I
thank
you
and
I
so
I
hope
I
hope
that
I
mean
I
know
we're
tough
times.
We
have
to
do
some
reductions,
but
I
hope
that
those
reductions
don't
keep
you
from
being
able
to
to
further
look
for
opportunities
to
expand
the
economy
and
provide
jobs
through
through
the
movie
industry.
So,
thank
you.
That's
all!
That's
all
the
questions
I
have
met
up
here.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
senator
dennis
committee
members.
Are
there
any
questions
on
these
items
on
15
20
7?
I
believe
they've
all
been
answered
and
it
is
nice
to
see
you
going
digital
with
that
directory.
I
believe
in
the
new
world.
That's
that's
the
direction
that
we're
going
and
that
way
it
can
be
updated
quickly.
So
as
things
change
in
nevada,
we're
able
to
get
the
information
out
to
folks.
So
I
I
do
appreciate
that.
A
So
not
seeing
any
other
questions
on
this
particular
item,
I
believe
we
can
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
item
1531.
and
director
brown.
I'm
sorry.
If
I
skipped
over
you
doing
individual
presentations
on
these
individual
items,
I
just
thought
we
would
have
that
high
level
conversation
and
then
open
it
up
to
committee
for
questions,
but
if
there
is
anything
in
particular,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
you're
more
than
welcome
to
point
it
out
to
the
committee.
So
you've
never
been
shy
about
that.
So
I'm
not
worried
about
it.
Thank.
F
You,
madam
chair
1531,
you
know
this
is
our
part
of
the
workforce
program
that
stacy
leads
the
workforce.
Innovations
on
the
wind
fund,
we're
operating
again
because
of
the
pandemic,
with
resources
that
have
come
to
us
from
dieter
and
stacy
is
available
to
answer
any
questions
in
this
area
and
how
we're
trying
to
go
forward.
C
Thank
you,
chair
carlton.
Thank
you,
dr
brown
and
mrs
cosplay.
I
I
want
to
start
with
just
what's
an
update
on
some
of
the
outcomes
of
your
existing
wind
projects.
N
Good
morning,
thank
you
for
the
question
senator
brooks
this
is
stacy
bostwick,
I'm
the
director
for
workforce
development
at
goed,
so
the
outcomes
that
we're
required
to
report-
and
we
include
a
biennial
report.
N
I
don't
know
if
it
was
attached
to
this
budget
piece,
but
that
that
is
something
that
lcb
has
we're
required
to
report
on
information
about
the
number
of
individuals
who
have
received
training,
and
so
since,
when
has
been
an
inception,
we're
just
shy
of
2000
individuals
who
have
been
supported
through
the
launch
of
those
programs.
N
We're
also
looking
at
employment
metrics,
which
the
the
challenge,
quite
frankly,
is
that
we
capture
data
when
we
fund
the
project
and
most
of
what
wind
does
is
fund
infrastructure
and
launch
of
programs
for
sustainability.
So
we
have
pipelines
going
forward.
So
I
like
to
always
kind
of
give
the
caveat
that
what
we
have
in
terms
of
metrics
is
really
the
tip
of
the
iceberg.
So
it's
kind
of
the
beginning
of
the
success
story.
So
a
lot
of
times
when
we
capture
data
point
in
time
it
doesn't
capture
kind
of
the
full
spectrum.
N
So
right
now
I
can
tell
you
that
we've
had
you
know
over
800,
nearly
900
individuals,
who've
already
attained
employment
and
the
average
wage
for
that
kind
of
entry
into
employment.
Not
the
subsequent
promotions
or
any
of
those
kinds
of
details
is
over
twenty
dollars
an
hour.
So
I
hope
that
answers
your
question.
If
there's
more
information
about
the
metrics,
please
do
ask.
C
No,
that
did
thank
you
and
also,
if
I
could
follow
up
madam
chair.
Another
question:
yes
go
ahead.
Senator
please:
has
the
agency
not
been
able
to
fully
extend
its
general
fund
appropriations
in
this
account.
N
N
The
win
fund
plays
a
couple
of
roles,
and
one,
of
course,
is
it
being
a
tool
in
terms
of
the
economic
development
conversation,
and
so
when
economic
development
slows
down
you're,
obviously
not
using
the
tool
as
much
as
you
would
like
to,
and
also
just
there
isn't
a
lot
of
activity
to
connect
those
funds
to
so
the
the
new
workforce
programs
aren't
necessary
if
there's
a
new
workforce
jobs
for
which
we
don't
already
have
a
program
within
the
state.
N
The
second
piece
that
I
wanted
to
mention
is
that
and
part
of
that
kind
of
general
pivot
that
we
did
was
that
we
had
a
lot
of
programs
that
existed
that
were
providing
talent
that
was
very
important
during
the
pandemic,
and
so
we
did
a
little
bit
of
a
pivot
and
support
with
ng
and
were
able
to
kind
of
tap
into
almost
three
million
dollars
in
coronavirus
relief
funds
to
help
those
programs
augment
and
continue
to
deliver
the
needed
pipeline.
N
So
that
was
a
priority
activity,
and
then
I
think
the
last
one
and
is
worth
mentioning
is
that
the
win
fund
currently
in
statute
has
a
reversion
requirement.
So
we,
instead
of
being
able
to
carry
dollars
with
continuity
for
projects,
we
kind
of
have
this
stilted
stop
and
start
with
the
biennium
and
so
depending
on
conversations
and
how
they
develop
with
the
education
and
industry
partner.
C
N
Thank
you
for
the
question.
I
think
probably
the
most
prominent
solution
that
we're
putting
forward
is
that
we
have
a
bill
on
the
senate
side
that
will
actually
be
coming
before
its
first
hearing
this
week
to
revise
that
language.
You've
attempted
to
revise
that
language,
especially
in
terms
of
the
reversion,
because
that
really
just
from
a
business
process
and
flow
has
been
very
challenging
in.
In
my
experience
with
this
for
a
little
over
two
years,.
C
Thank
you
and
then
my
final
question
is:
could
you
discuss
some
of
the
the
workforce
development
projects
that
that
you
anticipate
funding
this
this
biennium.
N
Thank
you
for
the
question
senator
brooks,
so
we
put
together
a
list
of
things
based
on
industrial
development,
so
we
expect
obviously
with
the
increased
pace
of
economic
development
activity
that
director
brown
is
referred
to
as
well
as
just
kind
of
the
the
priority
in
terms
of
being
able
to
access
retraining
for
individuals
whose
jobs
aren't
going
to
come
back
in
this
post-pandemic
environment
and
add
that
to
kind
of
the
industrial
developments
that
we're
already
seeing
every
industry
kind
of
has
its
own
timeline
in
terms
of
industry
development.
N
So
these
are
things
that
have
been
on
our
radar
for
a
little
while
and
now,
there's
really
kind
of
a
lot
of
momentum.
I'm
coming
with
those,
and
so
the
a
couple
of
them
that
we
have
on
our
list
of
expected
projects
include
industrial
developments
in
nine
esmeralda
county.
There's
a
lot
of
things
happening
in
the
mining
space,
in
particular
in
that
area.
There's
a
lot
of
industrial
developments.
Obviously
infernally.
N
We've
had
conversations
with
great
baseball
in
college
regarding
expanding
programs
in
the
prompt
space,
particularly
in
health
care,
and
we
are
always
looking
at
expanding
in
terms
of
providing
the
right
skills
and
the
skills
needed
by
growing
or
new
companies
in
technology
and
in
advanced
manufacturing.
So
those
are
on
our
list
as
well.
C
F
I
should
point
out:
we
did
a
project
with
the
haas
corporation
that
is
going
to
be
in
henderson.
I
think
one
of
the
complexities
that
we
have
is
that
the
private
sector
is
on
a
calendar
year,
we're
on
a
fiscal
year
and
our
academic
partners
are
in
an
academic
year.
So
it
takes
a
little
bit
of
juggling.
A
And
thank
you
senator.
I
guess
I'd
like
I'm
gonna.
I
have
a
do.
You
have
a
couple
other
folks
for
questions,
but
I
guess
I
think
I
need
to
clarify
something
with
this
senate
bill
that
will
be
coming
forward
to
deal
with
reversions.
A
So
I
guess
I'm
just
a
little
confused
about
this
reversion
thing
and
when
we
look
at
some
of
these
numbers,
when
only
40
percent
is
used,
that's
not
even
50.,
that's
not
even
one
year
and
then
the
1921
biennium
we're
not
even
going
to
talk
about
that
because
we
know
what
half
of
that
year
was
like,
but
still
approximately
900
000
out
of
the
4
million
that
was
approved
at
the
end
of
the
biennium.
A
So
I
guess
we
probably
are
going
to
need
to
have
a
little
bit
deeper
conversation
and
hopefully
that
bill
will
will
promulgate
that
that
conversation.
But
you
know
the
purpose
of
reversions
is:
if
there
is
money
sitting
out
there
that
can
be
used
for
another
purpose,
it
needs
to
come
back
to
the
state
so
that
it
can
be
reallocated
having
money
sit
in
one
spot
for
too
long
and
not
be
used,
doesn't
benefit
everyone
from
the
state.
A
N
Chair
carlton,
this
is
stacey
bossrick
for
the
record.
No,
I
I
think
you're
spot
on
in
terms
of
you
know
what
we're
looking
at.
N
I
think
the
challenge
for
the
reversion
that
I'll
I'll
share
and
is
that
we
haven't
been
able
to
support
some
of
projects
that
have
come
across
our
desk
because
of
the
timeline
that's
involved,
and
so
the
way
that
I
was
kind
of
trying
to
describe
the
the
win
fund
is
that
you
know
we
aren't
there
to
pay
kind
of
for
scholarship
scholarships
per
se
for
people
to
go
through
programs,
because
we
have
a
wealth
of
funds
in
the
public
workforce
system
to
be
able
to
do
that.
N
What
the
wind
fund
does,
especially
with
this
lens
of
economic
development,
is
to
ensure
that
there's
programs
to
develop
these
pipelines.
For
these,
you
know
industrial
developments
or
economic
development,
and
the
reality
is
is
that
we
don't.
If
we
don't
have
new
industry,
if
we
don't
have
new
occupations
or
if
there
isn't
a
change
or
shift
in
the
technology
or
the
skills
needed
for
those
jobs,
then
wind
doesn't
get
deployed,
and
so
I
don't
ever
want
us
not
deploying
those
funds
to
be
looked
at.
N
Is
that
that
they're
not
being
used
to
help
or
there
is
in
space.
But
that
means
that
their
other
resources
that
are
meant
to
do
that
work
are
doing
that
work
and
the
work
that
we
have
in
our
kind
of
laser-focused
space
of
ensuring
these
programs
get
developed
so
that
people
actually
have
the
skills
and
access
to
these
jobs.
You
know,
isn't
necessary
at
that
place,
and
so
I
think
that's
important.
F
To
know
this
is
an
area
where
I
would
like
to
have
a
discussion.
We
need
to
get
this
right.
We've
got
an
experience
curve
now,
and
I
would
like
to
have
this
discussion
with
with
the
members
of
the
committee
and
the
staff
and
this
and
and
because
we
do
need
to
get
this
right
and
with
the
new
leadership
over
at
owen.
I
want
to
work
with
you
to
fix
it.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
I
do
have
a
couple
more
questions
and
then
I
think
I'll
go
to.
I
believe
I
have
a
question
from
titus.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
think
wind
is
an
important
component.
We
have
heard
when
we
want
to
diversify
our
economy,
that
we
need
to
have
a
trained
workforce,
and
so
I'm
I'm
I'm
supportive
of
that
concept.
I
also
just
a
comment
and
then
some
questions,
your
priorities
that
you
listed
the
five
basic
priorities
and
one
of
which
was
health
and
then
mining
and
a
skilled
workforce
that
you've
had
for
a
number
of
years.
H
I'm
I'm
pleased
to
see
that,
with
the
potential
development
projects
for
2123,
you've
stayed
with
those
consistency.
We
know
we
need
skilled
workforce.
We
know
we
need
more
healthcare
sector.
If
this
pandemic
showed
nothing
else,
we
know
we
need
to
expand
our
health
health
care
workforce
and
also
you
know
the
mining
skilled
jobs
which
are
all
good
paying
jobs.
My
questions
involves
around
your
statement
that
so
far
you've
trained,
I
believe
you
said
2
000
folks
have
gone
through
this
program
in
the
past.
H
Is
that
cumulative
since
its
inception
up
to
today,
and
then
you
mentioned
that
800
of
them
were
employed,
I'm
wondering
with
this
list
that
you
gave
us
with
the
potential
workforce,
the
potential
ones
from
the
advanced
mechronics
to
the
training
program,
expansion
and
a
whole
list
that
we've
you
submitted
for
3.5
million
dollars?
How
many
bodies
will
that
touch?
How
many
folks
will
that
reach.
N
Assemblyman
titus:
this
is
stacey
bosch
for
the
record.
The
short
answer
is,
I
don't
know.
In
the
I
mean
we
we
don't
know
necessarily.
I
don't
think
we
have
the
paper
in
front
of
us
to
be
able
to
answer
that,
and
I
don't
want
to
put
an
estimate
out
there
that
doesn't
accurately
kind
of
reflect
you
know.
Project
scopes
are
very
different
from
one
to
the
other,
we're
working
with
csn
expanding,
advanced
manufacturing
right
now.
N
It's
a
two
million
dollar
project,
because
it
is
a
massive
expansion
with
also
a
lot
of
opportunity
in
southern
nevada,
and
so
their
goal
is
to
be
able
to
train
a
minimum
of
200
people
a
year
and
then
we're
working
with
western
nevada
college
right
now
on
a
mobile
mechatronics
lab
that
really
focuses
on
kind
of
the
rural
parts
of
their
community,
and
so
their
goals
are
closer
to
25.
N
You
know,
folks,
maybe
a
semester
so
scale
in
terms
of
what
the
industry
needs
in
that
space
and
also
what
the
program
is
very
significantly,
but
these
are
not
going
to
be.
You
know,
I
think
small
investment
programs
based
on
the
dollars
involved.
H
Oh,
madam
chair:
yes,
that's
when
they
apply
for
these
programs,
do
you
not
require
how
what
their
class
size
will
be
or
what
their
potential
reach
is
going
to
be?
I
mean
we
wouldn't
want
to
give
two
million
dollars
to
a
program
that
trains
two
people
I
mean.
I
think
that
is
that
not
part
of
that
requirement.
N
Assembly,
one
site
is
yes,
it
is
so
these
are
not
projects
that
we
have
full
scopes
or
applications
for.
So
that's
why
I
can't
give
you
a
specific
number
to
those
and
we
always
tried
to
line
those
up
exactly
the
way
that
you
mentioned.
So
there
isn't
a
sweet
spot,
so
there
isn't
a
rule
in
play,
whether
it's
in
statute.
That
says
you
know
that
the
cost
per
can't
exceed,
but
we're
looking
for
what's
reasonable,
but
also
what
that
return
on
investment
is
going
to
look
like.
H
H
So
I'd
like
to
see
that
I'm
sure
everybody
else,
the
data
that
comes
out
of
that
when
we
do
have
those
programs,
then
my
final
question,
if
I
might
madam
chair,
would
be
you
mentioned
that
you
have
three
million
dollars
in
corona
relief
funds
and
those
had
a
stop
date
on
those.
H
So
I
assume
that
you
had
to
use
those
up
by
an
x
date
and
you
might
want
to
share
that
with
us,
but
you
also
mentioned
in
your
in
our
notes
anyway,
that
there
was
a
a
two
million
dollar
sub
grant
coming
up,
and
I'm
just
wondering
for
the
dealer.
Is
that,
like
that's
e125?
Is
that
part
of
a
corona
virus
relief
package
that
has
a
stop
date?
Or
so
it's
these
funds
seem
to
be
mixing
these
federal
funds.
H
I'm
wondering
how
much
is
just
we're
already
going
to
be
there
based
on
federal
funding
not
associated
with
the
the
the
cares
act
or
any
additional
funds
that
we
might
get?
Could
you
tease
that
out
for
me
a
little
bit
on
where
these
federal
funds
are
and
what.
F
Michael
brown,
michael
brown,
director
for
the
record,
we
did
not
receive
covet
relief,
workforce
dollars
here
and
she
received
dollars.
We
provided
subject
matter
expertise
to
help
them
prioritize
projects,
so
those
funds
weren't.
F
I
guess
in
june
I
believe,
and
one
of
our
board
members
right
feliz
said
you
know
rightfully
had
the
question
you
know
in
this
time
of
fiscal
austerity,
should
we
be
spending
these
dollars
and
the
board
you
know,
went
back
and
forth
and
back
and
forth
as
to
whether
or
not
whether
or
not
they
should
be
spending
these
dollars
at
all,
and
and
yet
there
have
been
months
and
months
and
months
of
work
on
this
project.
F
But
in
a
time
of
fiscal
austerity,
this
board
member
wondered
what
the
priority
was
and
in
the
end
the
board
approved
it,
and
I
think
that
was
our
last
grant
of
general
fund
dollars
and
I'm
not
mistaken
stacy
and
then
we've
been
working
with
the
dieter
resources
that
are
there.
So
you
know
when
we
see
economic
recovery
and
have
more
resources.
F
You
know
we'll
have
more
robust,
but
I
do
want
to
the
area
of
workforce
is
an
area
where,
with
owen
m
with
others
and
as
the
chair
said,
we
need
to
sort
some
of
this
out
and
get
it
right
point
forward.
H
Great,
thank
you
from
hearing
is
that
you
didn't
receive.
Any
wind
did
not
receive
any
direct
care
exact
money,
but
you
may
have
been
assisted
through
some
pass-through
money
that
went
to
dieter
or
she.
That
then
was
they
were
able
to
maybe
give
that
some
of
that
funds
to
win.
Is
that
what
I'm
hearing
well.
F
They're,
madam
chair
a
leader,
there
were
no
karazak
dollars
that
came
to
go
out
in
this
space.
There
are
the
resources
that
dieter
had,
I
think,
through
their
regular
federal
programs
that
we've
been
able
to
deploy.
We
provide,
subject
matter,
expertise
now
to
lots
of
folks
in
the
workforce
area
and
stacey.
This
is
an
area
where
I'm
learning
and
stacy's
teaching
me
because
she
really
knows
this
area
so
and
thank
you
for
the
clever
and
I
stand
to
be
corrected.
If
I
believe
I
got
that
right,
stacy.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
in
looking
at
some
of
the
potential
workforce
development
projects.
You've
got
some
behavioral
mental
health,
social
work
certificates.
You
have
a
program
there
and
it
I
know
all
your
programs
are
complicated
because
you
have
to
be
able
to
partner
with
the
private
sector
and
then
you've
got
higher
ed,
potentially,
and
in
this
case
there
seems
to
be
a
lot
of
demand
in
the
school
districts,
because
the
students
are
in
school,
part-time
or
not
in
school
and
will
be
returning
to
school.
I
So
I
think,
there's
going
to
be
a
huge
supply
side
issue
on
the
behavioral
mental
health
side,
and
so
I
wanted
you.
It
looks
like
a
pretty
small
program,
so
my
question
is:
are
you
working
with
the
school
districts?
Are
you
working
with
higher
ed,
because
I
think
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
demand
in
that
that
sector
and
there
may
be
opportunities
for
federal
dollars,
because
this
will
the
majority
of
the
behavioral
mental
health
around
schools
potentially
is
related
to
not
being
in
school.
So
again,
it'd
be
related
to
covet.
I
N
Thank
you
for
that
question.
Senator
seaver's
cancer.
This
is
stacey
bostwick
for
the
record,
so
it
it's
a
really
great
question
because
it
really,
I
can,
I
think,
help
you
kind
of
construct
where
some
of
these
projects
come
from,
because
they
can
really
come
at
us
from
a
lot
of
different
angles.
You
know
so
obviously
industry
can
bring
it
to
us.
It
can
come
from
a
goed
kind
of
project.
That's
come
through
our
pipeline
and
in
the
case
of
of
some
of
our
healthcare
projects.
N
N
And
then
we
have
a
healthcare
industry
specialist
within
gohan,
and
so
some
of
these
have
come
from
those
conversations
where
we
don't
expect
that
our
funding
will
be
the
only
resource
at
the
table,
and
so
the
the
dollar
amount
is
kind
of
an
estimate
to
say:
where
are
all
the
different
kind
of
pieces
of
pie
that
might
come
in
and
and
in
some
ways,
kind
of
reserving
saying
we
don't
think
we'll
be
able
to
piece
all
this
together.
N
I
Yeah,
I'm
just
really
hopeful
that
there's
work
being
done
and
again,
I'm
not
sure
you're,
probably
a
piece
of
the
answer,
but
the
the
demands
are
going
to
be
are
and
are
growing.
I
I
believe-
and
so
you
know
whatever
we
can
can
do
around-
that
as
we
have
children
returning
to
class
or
going
more
full-time,
I
guess
versus
part-time,
and
I
think
part
of
it
is
trying
to
get
students
in
in
the
queue
right.
I
So
you
you
have
the
demand
where
we're
going
to
need
these
folks,
but
you
also
have
to
have
the
supply
of
people
interested
in
that,
and-
and
I
do
appreciate
that
you
are
working
on
potential
projects,
so
you're
queuing
some
things
up,
because
we
are
going
to
need
what
you
do,
which
is
enhance,
skills
and
knowledge
and
retraining
in
partnership
with
the
private
sector.
Your
work
and-
and
just
you
know
again,
making
a
note
that
behavioral
health
pieces
is
really
important
for
the
state
right
now.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
mr
diaz
thompson.
Did
you
have
a
comment
question.
K
I
know
last
biennium
there
was
a
consideration
of
not
reinvesting
in
this
program
on
by
this
committee
for
a
number
of
different
reasons,
and
one
of
them
just
being
once
again
not
really
seeing
the
dollars
used
in
the
way
that
we
intended
them
to
be
used
and
really
seeing
that
you
know
that
conversation
of
where
other
dollars
were
out
there
and
being
used
in
the
system,
perhaps
more
more
effectively
or
with
the
wider
reach.
So
I
imagine
we'll
be
right
back
to
that
same
conversation.
This
time.
Okay,.
A
Not
hearing
anyone
or
seeing
anyone
wishing
to
be
recognized,
I
believe
we
can
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
our
final
budget.
This
morning,
good
job
committee,
we're
pretty
good
on
time
and
a
lot
of
questions
and
a
lot
of
good
conversation.
A
F
Okay,
thank
you.
Knowledge
fund,
it
was
a
heritage.
Program
goes
back,
I
believe,
2011
and
funded
later
in
2014,
with
the
idea
of
commercializing
intellectual
property
developed
at
our
universities
chair
when
we
met
after
I
took
this
job.
You
asked
me
to
look
more
closely
at
this
program
and
we
have
legislation
that
we'll
be
bringing
forward
that
will
morph
this
into
what
will
be
called
the
innovation
fund,
not
related
to
the
innovation
zone,
I
should
say,
but
innovation
fund
and
with
a
series
of
changes
in
it.
F
The
way
I
see
this
program
is
that
in
this
this
whole
emerging
technology
world
this
whole
area
of
innovation
and
and
technology
kind
of
the
whole
silicon
valley
world
is
that
this
fund
gives
nevada
a
seat
at
the
table.
It
provides
us
a
way
to
partner
on
projects
and
to
to
participate
in
this
new.
Fourth,
industrial
revolution,
economy
and
karsten
has
managed
system
for
many
years.
Governor
prioritized
appropriations
for
it
in
the
state
of
the
state.
F
We
received
a
letter
in
october
from
the
university
presidents
and
the
chancellor
in
support
of
it
and
senator
cortez
masto's
office,
senator
herself
reached
out
and
prioritized
the
continuation
of
the
knowledge
fund,
and
I
said
I
said
well,
we
will
I
hear
you
but
we're
going
to
bring
changes
to
the
program
I've
been
requested
by
the
committee
to
do
that,
and
we
have,
I
think,
ab29
with
some
proposed
changes
in
the
program,
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you
on
the
session.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Any
statements
from
person.
L
A
Well,
thank
you
very
much.
I
appreciate
it.
Yes,
there
you
are
okay,
so
I
guess
I'll
open
up
with
just
a
couple
of
quick
questions,
so
I
was
here
in
2011..
A
It
was
my
first
year
on
ways
and
means
sitting
in
the
front
row
listening
to
the
conversation
about
where
we
thought
the
knowledge
account
would
go
and
the
possibility-
and
I
believe
the
thing
that
stuck
with
me
the
most
was
it-
was
the
research
and
commercialization
of
this
and
being
able
to
use
that
to
bring
money
back
into
the
state
to
be
able
to
use
research
to
bring
dollars
back
towards
the
general
fund,
so
the
state
would
make
an
investment
and
then
the
state
would
eventually
be
repaid.
A
As
far
as
I
can
tell
that-
and
we
know
these
things
do
take
a
while,
but
it
has
been
a
decade
now
we
are
in
2021,
and
it's
I
would
just
like
to
you
know
have
a
conversation
about
where
we
think
that
commercialization
is
going
to
be
going,
and
then
I
guess
we
need
an
update
on
the
the
current
projects
that
you
anticipate
to
continue
through
this
biennium.
A
So
if
you
could
address
the
current
projects
first
and
then
the
commercialization
issue
and
then
I'd
be
happy
to
open
it
up
to
other
committee
members.
L
This
is
carson
heiser
for
the
record.
These
are
excellent
questions
and,
as
I've
been
around
also
for
a
while,
we
have
had
these
conversations
before
and
so,
but
for
the
benefit
of
members
that
are
so
new
to
the
committee.
L
Let
me
go
back
to
2011
when
this
was
first
enacted
and
then
first
funded
in
2013
and
then
subsequently
in
1517
and
then
through
a
reduction
but
still
in
in
19.,
so
I
wasn't
around
in
2011,
but
I
started
in
early
2012,
but
I
believe
that
if
it
was
presented
in
2011
that
this
would
be
a
money-making
machine
for
the
state
or
in
general,
that
would
be
inaccurate
unless
you
really
hit
a
home
run
of
a
you
know
of
a
spin
out
that
will
turn
into
I
don't
know
a
facebook,
a
google
or
something
equivalent.
L
I
just
like
give
you
some
statistics
that
sort
of
put
this
in
perspective
and
also
perspective
us
to
where
we
are
running
with
our
metrics
and
I'm.
Actually,
we
are
not
too
bad.
Actually.
L
So
if
you
go
to
the
intellectual
property
handbook,
which
is
sort
of
like
a
standard
publishing
out
there,
they
on
average
you
get
about
40
to
50
disclosures
for
every
100
million
invested
in
in
adjusted
research
expenditures
that
success
adjusted
for
costs,
disclosures
doesn't
mean
that
that
will
turn
into
a
product
or
into
a
into
a
company.
This
is
just
disclosures.
L
We
have
in
our
statistics
so
far
about
67.
We
provided,
I
think,
a
slide
in
in
the
presentation,
so
we
are
not
doing
too
badly
for
about
32.5
million
invested,
although
I
have
to
say
a
large
number
of
those
patents
are
relating
to
to
one
project
which
is
concentrating
mainly
on
on
on
gaming
innovations.
L
So
you
can't
really
compare
those
patents
disclosures
filings
with,
for
example,
I
would
say:
hardcore
health
technology,
tech
or
engineering
tech,
for
example,
but
out
of
those
the
what
the
international
property
handbook
also
states
is
that
out
of
that,
you
get
about
15,
licensing
or
spin-outs
per
100
million.
So
now
we
are
moving
towards
a
potential.
You
know
hard
cash
return,
eventually,
so
15
per
100
million.
We
are
roughly
at
about
17.
L
That's
the
the
number
we
have
here
in
on
that
on
that
slide,
so
we're
not
doing
too
badly
either
for
32.5
million
invested
going
back
to
your
question
regarding
okay,
when
is
revenue
flowing
back
or
is
there
potential
for
money
flowing
back
into
the
knowledge
fund
same
same
source,
the
average
income
to
an
institution
after
about
you
know
eight
to
ten
years
is
about
one
to
two
percent
of
annual
resource
research
expenditure.
L
So
that's
sort
of
the
target
that
you
would
be
looking
for
for
a
return
coming
back
to
us
now.
Let
me
also
sort
of
made
clear
that
going
back
to
my
earlier
comment
that
you
know
this
should
not
be
regarded
as
the
money-making
machine,
but
they're
intangible.
L
L
So
when
you
look
at
the
metrics
that
we
have
to
report
on,
we
have
you
know,
as
I
said,
32.5
million
invested
from
the
from
the
state
from
the
from
the
general
fund
about
slightly
more
than
35
million
coming
back
to
the
three
research
institutions
through
grants,
almost
40,
39.8
million
are
coming
back
to
the
to
the
research
institutions
in
sponsored
research
contracts,
so
there's
a
multiple
multiplier
effect.
L
You
see
just
for
example,
I
can
give
you
two
cases
that
really
illustrate
that
can
link
you
back
to
to
knowledge
fund
projects.
The
first
really
major
win
of
this.
You
know
of
grand
matching.
We
we
achieved
to
the
nevada
institute
for
personalized
medicine
at
unlv,
where
we
put
about
3.5
million
in
and
got
and
nip
him.
That's.
L
The
abbreviation
for
nevada
institute
for
personal
medicine
got
back
11
million
from
from
the
from
the
national
institute
for
health's
nih
we
put
in
slightly
short,
but
if
you,
if
you
round
up
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
into
a
mining
robotics
project
which
is
linked
to
the
nevada
center
for
applied
research
in
unr,
400
000
turned
into
a
more
than
four
million
grant
that
that
project
won
at
from
dow
park.
L
Double
standards
for
the
defense,
advanced
research
project
agencies,
so
we
are
hitting
we
we're
doing
pretty
well
we're
hitting
home
runs,
but
if
you're
looking
for
okay,
the
loot
is
called
stuff
in
this
world,
the
so
the
linear
model
you
invest
in
research
capabilities,
you
create
intellectual
property.
You
file
that
and
then
you
go
to.
You
know
to
find
an
entrepreneur
or
an
entrepreneur
in
residence
to
create
a
company
spin,
this
company
out
from
the
university.
L
Then
this
company
then
will
have
to
raise
money
and
then
hopefully
it
will
scale,
and
eventually
there
will
be.
You
know
what
we
call
a
corporate
action
that
will
then
generate
revenue,
that's
flowing
then
back.
So
that's
all
the
linear
model
that
I
would
caution
against,
because
there
this
is
much
more
complex.
There
are
feedback,
loops
feedback
loops
for
example,
which
we
you
know
address
through
our
investment
in
the
nevada
center
for
applied
research.
L
We
actually
we
are
helping
companies
accessing
university
resources,
helping
existing
companies
technology
companies
to
scale
that
you
know
again
leads
to
economic
development
impact.
It
doesn't
flow
back
to
the
knowledge
fund
to
not
back
to
the
state,
but
it
leads
to
tremendous
impact
to
the
economy
in
jobs
and,
as
the
director
said,
you
know
it
gives
us
a
seat
at
the
table.
We
talked
a
lot
about
early
on
about
workforce
development.
L
You
know
high
skilled
jobs,
attracting
companies
to
the
state.
Well,
in
a
innovation
system,
it's
always
regional.
You
know
you're
you're
not
going
to
attract
the
the
high-tech
companies
the
attractive
companies
that
you're
looking
for.
Without
that
research
applied
research
expertise
without
that
providing
conduit
into
the
into
the
you
know
into
the
into
those
research
institutions.
L
That
will
enable
a
company
to
leverage
those
resources.
So
also
you
know
when
you,
when
you
deal
with
this
high
technology-
and
you
may
spend
money
from
the
knowledge
fund
in
you-
know-
purchasing
equipment
to
build
research
capacity
to
research
institutions.
L
What
this
leads
to
is
you
know
your
post,
docs
or
your
or
your
students
will
deal
with
that.
Equipment
will
actually
learn
how
to
use
this
equipment
when
they
then
graduate
will
be
employed
locally
in
nevada
and
at
high-tech
companies
that
you
then
also
attracted
with
the
help
of
the
universities.
They
are
used
to
to
deal
with
that
with
that
high-tech
equipment.
So
it's
much
more
complex
than
you
invest
here
and
you
get
to
return
back
so.
N
F
Let
me
just
say
on
that
topic,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
committee.
This
is
an
area
where
I
came
in
and
looked,
and
I
realized
this
is
not
going
to
be
the
compliment
to
the
liquor
tax
for
the
cigarette
tax
or
it
just
isn't,
and
we
need
to
look
at
it
as
it
sits
today
and
what
our
university
system
needs
and
what
the
technology
world
is
today,
which
is
why
I
had
karsten
work
on
ab29
to
bring
forward.
F
F
I
wasn't
around
in
11
when
this
was
pitched,
or
at
least
it
wasn't
on
my
agenda,
but
if
it
was
pitched
as
something
that
was
going
to
compliment
be
comparable
to
what
you
saw
in
those
miscellaneous
taxes,
you
know
I'm
I'm
not
sure
that
was
realistic.
A
And-
and
thank
you
dr,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I'm
I'm
perfectly
clear.
As
far
as
general
fund
goes,
it
was
more
of
a
it
would,
as
as
mr
kaiser
said,
would
create
businesses
that
would
create
another
level
of
just
diversification,
which
would
create
general
fun.
We
understand
it's
a
multi-stage
process,
it's
been
a
decade
and
I
think
it's
appropriate
for
us
to
start
asking
some
of
these
questions
about
self-sufficiency,
and
where
do
we
think
we're
going?
A
You
can
only
put
so
much
money
towards
something
out
in
a
while,
and
you
really
want
to
see
some
results.
So
I
believe
that's
where
we
should
have
this
very
hard
conversation
about.
Where
do
we
need
to
be
so?
I
appreciate
that
the
one
part
of
the
question
I
don't
believe
was
answered
and
if
I
could
just
get
a
real
brief
accounting
on
this
is
the
projects
that
you're
anticipated
to
continue
through
21
and
23.
If
I
could
just
get
the
list
of
those
what
we
actually
have
in
the
queue
right
now
yeah,
we.
F
Will
we
will
we
will
submit
that
and
have
this
discussion
and-
and
I
think
it's
very
timely-
you
know
I
have
this
cartoon
in
my
office
from
the
utah
newspaper
in
1985
and
in
utah
there's
this
monument
where
the
pioneers
arrived
and
it's
called
the
this
is
the
place
monument
and
in
the
editorial
cartoon.
They
have
right
beside
it.
The
I
think
I'll
take
that
job
in
california
monument,
because
in
the
early
80s,
when
you
were
graduating
from
college
in
utah,
you
went
to
california
for
a
job.
F
F
I've
heard
you
at
lewis,
diner
and
your
concerns
about
this
program
and
we've
developed
legislation
and
we're
we're
very
prepared
to
have
that
discussion
and
go
where
policymakers
want
the
state
to
be.
A
B
L
This
is
carson
heiser
for
the
record
from
goad's
point
of
view.
There
are
no
fees
on
our
end.
It's
the
normal
process.
The
university
applies
for
a
federal
grant,
for
example,
and
then
takes
that
grant
in
the
university
strikes
a
contract
with
a
private
sector
company
for
for
contract
research,
for
example,
and
then
the
money
flows
into
the
university
there's,
no,
no
layer
of
of
cost
at
galway
at
all,
yeah.
F
L
B
Okay,
so
if
there
are
administrative
fees
that
were
associated
with
the
grant
like
for
a
number
of
grants,
whoever
writes
that
grant
there's
a
fee
that
they
can
charge
and
then
those
fees
stayed
with
the
with
the
educational
institution.
It
didn't
go
to
go
at
or
go
to
the
state.
That's
what
I'm
hearing.
L
This
is
customized
for
the
record.
There
are
no
fees
that
go
away
charges
we
actually
and
actually
I'm
grateful
for
the
question
we
made
very
clear
and
had
that
inserted
in
the
contracts
with
the
universities
from
day,
one
I.e
from
2013
onwards
that
there's
no,
there
can
be
no
administrative
charges
that
the
university
can
charge
on
on
money
on
funds
that
are
being
extended
to
the
universities.
L
B
L
Absolutely
disgusting
either
for
the
records,
the
funds
that,
if
you,
if
the
universities
win
grounds
they
go
directly
to
the
university,
it
is
not
that
they
would
go
go
into
the
knowledge
fund.
However,
the
knowledge
fund
can
be
used,
for
example,
for
grant
matching,
so
we
have
an
allocation
within
our
budget
and
again,
madam
chair
to
your
earlier
question,
we
submitted
to
lcb
a
list
of
of
what
we
see
and
for
the
next
biennium
projects
that
we
anticipate
to
be
funded.
L
Another
two
scenarios,
ab29
passing
and
ab29,
not
passing
so
we
have
a
line
item
currently
in
the
in
the
knowledge
account
which
we
can
use
or
the
university
can
use
as
ground
matching.
We
currently
have
actually
one
active
where
the
university
of
nevada
reno
is
is,
is
waiting
for
a
from
for
an
eda
grant
news.
L
I
think
it
should
be
in
the
next
next
couple
of
weeks
where
we
put
up
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
for
matching,
but
again,
if
that,
for
example,
should
the
university
win,
the
funds
would
go
directly
to
the
university.
B
And
man,
I'm
sure,
just
my
final
question,
I
was
looking
at
some
of
the
backup
information
that
have
been
submitted
online
from
gri
and
umr
and
unlv,
and
on
one
it
says
that
there's
a
181
companies
or
agencies
and
orgs
with
memberships
and
agreements
are
those
companies
based
here
and
how
many
jobs
of
that.
Actually
you
know
that
32.5
million
bring
us
actual
jobs
and
on
the
ground
here
in
nevada,.
L
Yes,
this
is
a
customizer
for
the
record,
so
when
you
go
actually
to
our
to
our
presentation
of
that
slide
on
the
table,
we
input
it
into
that
presentation.
All
the
numbers
here
refer
to
companies
in
nevada
on
the
ground,
the
jobs
created
on
the
ground.
L
Is
constantly
the
following
record?
Let
me
answer
it
this
way.
These
programs
that
state
government,
gov
governments
or
you
know
national
governments
run
to
you
know
foster
innovation
that
will
then
lead
to.
You
know:
support
of
the
regional
innovation
systems,
or
you
know,
to
company
creation
and
so
forth.
L
They
never
cease,
then
in
perpetuity,
but
the
structure
of
those
programs
change
over
time,
which
is
why
we
have
ab29
for
your
consideration
where
we
are
going
to
broaden
the
scope
so
fun
if
ab29
or
should
ab29
pass,
you
would
have
funds
under
the
nevada
innovation
fund,
how
it
will
then
be
called
actually
the
recipients,
the
eligible
recipients
would
be
go
beyond
the
universities.
You
would
be.
L
You
know
supporting,
for
example,
private,
high-tech
companies
at
a
very
early
stage,
so
small
businesses,
if
they
need
our
research
and
development
support.
For
example,
we
would
have
a
we
could
open
a
program
for
a
small
business
innovation,
innovation,
research
matching
dollars,
so
the
structure
of
those
programs
will
change
as
a
as
the
innovation
economy
of
a
state
changes
over
time
and
so,
for
example,
in
2011,
when
the
null
trend
was
enacted.
That
was
exactly
at
that
time
was
what
would
have
been
a
pro.
L
What
what
was
appropriate
for
nevada
now
so
many
years
in
the
knowledge
for
needs
needs
needs
to
be
reformed,
so
the
structure
changes,
but
you
would
expect
you
know
globally.
That's
the
case
that
state
governments,
national
governments,
will
support
their
innovation
systems
over
time
and
perpetuity.
B
A
I
You,
madam
chair,
so
I
have
a
little
different
perspective
or
several
perspectives
on
this.
So
I
was
working
as
the
governor
as
governor
sandoval's
chief
of
staff
in
2011.
I
When
we
put
this
together
and
then
it
wasn't
funded
to
2013,
and
I
think
originally
there
was
some
look
at
a
look
at
commercialization,
but
I
also
have
worked
in
higher
ed
and
now
I
serve
my
courses
as
a
senator
and
what
I've
seen
the
value
that
I've
seen
and
the
return
on
investment
has
really
been
in
supporting
the
research
and
development
of
new
and
existing
companies
in
nevada
and
also
the
startup
of
companies,
and
the
university
system
has
played
a
critical
role
role
in
actually
diversifying
the
economy
providing
support.
So.
G
I
Appreciated
that
assembly,
woman,
monroe
and
reno
brought
up
the
return
on
investment,
because
when
you
look
at
the
metrics
for
32
million
dollars
of
knowledge
fund
dollars,
we've
had
35
million
in
grants
and
donations
and
another
39
million
dollars
of
sponsored
research
contracts
that
have
been
obtained.
So
those
are
huge
amounts
of
dollars
that
are
basically
that
we've
been
leveraging
the
knowledge
fund
dollars
to
get
these
external
primary
dollars
into
our
state
and
those
dollars
really
help
expand
high
level.
I
Well,
well-paid
jobs,
and
so
I
didn't
know
this
is
the
right
committee
or
not.
But
the
institutions
have
have
all
the
different
projects
and
it
might
be
worthwhile
to
have
some
of
them
spend
two
minutes,
and
I
do
mean,
like
two
minutes
on
some
of
the
work
that
they've
done,
because
really
there's
been
so
much
money,
that's
leveraged
and
it's
not
in
the
commercial
commercialization
space
as
much
as
it
is
in
r
d
and
supporting
the
the
growth
of
existing
and
new
businesses
in
our
state.
A
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
So
I've
got
a
couple
questions
I'll,
try
and
keep
them
very
brief.
So
you
know
I.
E
At
some
point,
if
there
was
it
looked
like
there
was
going
to
be
an
extra
1.2
million
dollars
coming
back
from
commercialization
revenue,
but
in
fact
that
revenue
actually
goes
back
to
the
institutions,
and
so
I
guess
my
my
first
question
is-
and
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
conversations
on
this
item
in
particular
that
also
deal
with
some
of
the
changes
contemplated
under
ab29,
and
I
want
to
try
and
avoid
turning
this
into
a
policy
hearing
about
that.
E
But
based
on
the
the
current
structure
and
the
current
grants
that
are
listed,
how
did
the
1.2
million
dollars
in
commercialization
revenue
flowing
back
to
the
institutions
influenced
that?
In
other
words,
did
it
cover
some
projects
that
otherwise
the
state
may
have
been
looking
at?
Providing
additional
funding
for?
How
did
that?
How
did
that?
Alter
kind
of
the
the
matrix
of
projects
that
are
under
consideration.
L
L
I've
got
all
the
three
universities
on
standby
here
and
they
are
happy
to
to
spend
these
two
minutes
if
during
public
comment
and
explain
in
more
detail
and
also
assemblyman
waltz
your
question,
I
can't
exactly
answer
this,
but
I
can
give
you
a
little
bit
of
background
how
we
structured
commercialization
revenue,
how
to
deal
to
be
dealt
with
and
we
had
inserted
into
the
contracts
for
the
first.
L
I
think
three
funding
cycles
that
the
universities
can
retain
those
commercialization
revenue
up
to
a
threshold
of
1.5
million
reason,
being
we
wanted
to
give
them
an
incentive.
You,
you
know
rightly
point
out:
it's
1.2,
so
it's
slightly
short
off
of
that
threshold.
So
two
remarks
to
that.
L
L
The
remaining
will
then
be
distributed
within
the
within
the
universities,
to,
I
believe,
the
vice
president
for
research
office,
the
department
and
then
there's
the
residual
so
that
in
sort
of
mathematically,
what
this
comes
out
comes
down
to
is
when
that's
in
our
contracts
is
one-sixth
of
what's
been
generated
above
a
threshold
would
potentially
flow
back
into
the
knowledge
fund.
So
you're
talking
you're
talking
at
a
relatively
small
amount
again,
that's
predominantly
because
of
of
the
ng
formula,
so
the
majority
goes
to
the
inventor.
L
This
is
either
ng
changes
that,
but
we
from
the
knowledge
funds
point
of
view
cannot
do
that.
So
that's
that
that's
one
comment
and
I
appreciate
that
we
don't
want
to
turn
this
into
into
an
ab29
hearing,
but
in
ab29
we
address
this
because
we
you
you
know
as
madam
chair.
You
know
we
have
testified
before,
and
the
question
came
up
many
times
so
in
ab29
we
address
commercialization
revenue.
We
actually
broadened
the
definition
and
I'm
hoping
we
have
captured.
L
At
least
you
know
some
of
your
concerns,
but
we
would
be
talking
more
than
what
we
have
here
on
paper,
the
1.2
we
are
broadening.
It
so
this
is
a
sort
of
brief
answer
to
your
question.
Hopefully
thank.
E
You
and
just
as
a
quick
follow-up
on
that,
so
just
to
get
clarification,
because
you
also
spoke
about
kind
of
how
things
go
when
they
get
go
over
that
threshold,
but
with
the
1.2
million
dollars.
E
L
I
would
defer
to
the
institutions
later
when
they
are
on
exactly
how
this
works,
but
it
goes
to
the
inventor
I
mean
the
inventor
is,
you
know,
have
is
getting
this
incentive
to.
You
know,
generate
intellectual
property
that
then
will
later
be
commercialized,
so
the
inventor
benefits,
and
then
there
there
are
portions
that
go
to
the
university's
general.
You
know
account
as
well
as
the
department,
as
well
as
the
vice
president
for
research
office,.
E
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
the
clarification
on
that.
One
final,
quick
question
again:
I
don't
want
this
to
turn
into
a
discussion,
a
full-blown
hearing
on
assembly,
bill
29,
but
based
on
the
current
structure
of
the
knowledge
fund
and
some
of
the
past
projects
and
and
the
results
that
you've
provided
to
us.
E
What
are
some
of
the
things
that
you
have
seen
that
have
worked?
What
are
the
some
of
the
challenges
that
have
come
up
and
how?
How
can
we
target
those
investments
currently
to
adapt
to
our
economic
development
strategy?
So
I
know
goed
just
put
out,
you
know
a
new
report
and
looked
at
some
key
areas.
How
are
we
able
to
target
the
knowledge
fund
to
support
economic
development
and
diversification
within
those
key
target
areas.
L
This
is
carsonizer
for
the
record
excellent
question.
I'm
really
grateful
for
that
gives
me
sort
of
the
opportunity
to
illustrate
a
little
bit
of
you
know
what
has
really
worked
and
echoing
senator
ganza's
comments.
L
What
really
has
worked
is
when
the
when
we
invest
general
fund
dollars
to
create
research
capacity
or
applied
research
and
development
capacity
at
the
research
institutions,
but
then
the
research
institutions
engage
with
the
private
sector,
so
you
would
have
you
know,
flagship
projects
at
the
university
of
nevada
reno,
for
example
the
nevada
center
for
applied
research.
It's
the
and
dr
gotham,
the
the
the
the
vice
president
of
research
for
unr
is
going
to.
L
You
know
illustrate
this
in
his
public
comment,
but
that
center
provide-
and
we
call
this-
we've
developed
a
concept.
I
don't
want
to
go
into
detail
here,
but
we
developed
this
concept
called
applied
research
center
model,
where
the
university
takes
up
the
role
of
a
what
we
call
an
outsourced,
r
d
department,
outsourcing
research
and
development
department
to
a
private
sector
company
to
provide
innovation
on
demand
services.
L
L
They
have
a
sort
of
they
get
a
safe
zone
where
they
can
grow
and
scale,
as
well
as
accessing
university
resources,
then
after
they
reach
a
certain
size,
they
sort
of
graduate
and
and
and
and
and
and
I
wouldn't
say,
exit,
but
they
leave
campus
and
then
a
scale
on
on
their
own
in
the
region,
while
still
ideally
continuing
to
engage
with
the
with
with
the
universities.
You
have
a
similar.
You
know
approach
at
blackfire
innovation
center
in
las
vegas
at
unlv,
where
that
center
provides.
L
You
know
this
access
of
companies
that
you
know
the
safe
zone
where
they
can
get
can
be
incubated
where
they
get
access
to
to
expertise
of
them
of
the
university,
so
that
has
really
worked
extremely
well.
So
when
you
see
in
the
statistics
or
in
the
in
the
table,
you
know
jobs
created.
You
know
this
is
of
at
companies
that
have
engaged
and
still
are
engaging
with
with
the
with
the
university
that
has
led
over
time
to
a
mindset.
Change
at
the
universities
as
well.
L
So
faculty
have
learned
how
to
engage
with
the
private
sector,
so
faculty
also
slowly
are
pivoting
their
their
focus
towards
more
or
you
know
closer
to
market
to
market
research.
So
we
have.
We
have
some
success
stories
of
of
actual
spin-outs
that
goes
back
to
the
original
model
of
the
knowledge
fund,
that
you
know
we
had
in
2011
or
the
it
was
there
at
that
time.
The
the
vision
of
you
know,
looking
at
the:
u
star
model
of
you
know
impact
faculty,
creating
research
that
then
leads
to
spin-outs.
L
The
nevada
institute
for
personalized
medicine
has
spun
out
three
companies.
One
of
them
halogenics
recently
raised
an
investment
round.
The
desert
research
institute
has
has
spun
out
one
recent
spin-off
that
also
raised
up
to
1
million
close
to
about
a
million
investments
from
private
investors
to
biomix.
So
we
are
getting
traction
there
as
well,
but
the
engagement
of
the
university
with
early
stage
high
growth
companies
startups.
That's
really
where
I
think
we
can
really
have
this
multiplier
effect
going
forward.
L
That
has
worked
well
and
again,
not
taking
this
into
a
29.
F
If
I
could
karsten
also
madam
chair
at
some
of
you
very,
very
good
point-
and
you
know,
one
of
the
one
of
the
few
advantages
that's
come
out
of
this
pandemic
is
that
we
have
this
technology,
this
zoom
technology.
If
I
wanted
to
bring
a
subject
matter,
expert
to
nevada,
to
speak
to
the
assembly
or
the
senate
in
the
last
session,
they'd
have
to
make
a
business
trip
here,
maybe
three
days.
F
If
they
came
from
the
east
coast
now
I
can
get
the
best
and
brightest
and
and
bring
them
right
into
one
of
these
legislative
theories.
This
is
an
exciting
area
for
nevada
and
as
someone
who
once
used
the
modem,
I'm
probably
not
the
most
qualified
to
speak
to
it.
I
still
have
a
typewriter
that
I
enjoy
using.
I
need
to
get
the
kind
of
folks
that
are
in
this
space
before
you.
I
need
to
get
maybe
roland
stevens
from
sri
international
to
talk
to
some
of
these
matters
because
of
our
geographic
proximity.
F
We
had
all
of
these
executives
from
silicon
valley
living
at
lake
tahoe,
just
as
we
have
film
executives
living
in
henderson
that
are
looking
at
nevada.
As
a
land
of
opportunity
and
and
what
I
see,
this
knowledge
fund,
it's
the
ticket
for
nevada
in
the
door
to
sit
at
the
table
to
attract
those
industries.
But
as
a
former
modem
user,
I'm
probably
not
the
most
qualified
to
speak
to
it.
And
I'd
like
to
get
the
people
who
are
in
front
of
you.
Via
this
technology.
E
Thanks,
I
appreciate
that
and
that's
that's
all.
I
have
madison
championship.
A
And
thank
you,
mr
watson,
and
thank
thank
you,
mr
brown.
We
are
about
to
infringe
upon
the
senate's
time,
so
I'd
like
us
to
be
very
brief
in
our
last
couple
of
questions.
If
that's
possible,
miss
tolls.
Did
you
have
a
question?
M
Up
of
course,
so
I
think
just
to
summarize
everything
everything
that
we
talked
about.
It
might
be
really
helpful
for
the
benefit
of
the
committee.
If
you
have
a
list
of
those
successes
that
you've
referenced
in
one
place,
that
we
could
all
look
at
and
then
current
projects
underway
as
a
result
of
this
knowledge
fund,
and
I
think
that
that
would
just
be
a
great
way
for
us
to
help
quantify
the
benefits
so
far
and
the
the
value
of
that
investment
and.
F
Madam
chair
assignment,
we
have
that
list
and
we
have
some
vignettes
and
we'll
provide
that
for
the
record.
A
And,
and
thank
you,
mr
brown,
and
that
is
a
question
that
I
asked
at
the
very
beginning
of
this
conversation
and
it
was
kind
of
difficult
to
get
an
answer
on,
so
I
look
forward
to
getting
that
list.
Instead,
I
got
a
very
long
explanation
about
a
lot
of
other
things,
so
with
that,
if
I
don't
see
any
other
questions
at
this
time,
I
believe
senator
brooks
you
had
something.
C
C
I
also
realize
director
brown,
you
came
over
to
this
agency
right
before
pandemic
and
when
all
the
rules
went
out
the
window
and
but
I
I
will
say
it's
working,
but
where
is
it
working?
And
I
and
I
direct
you
back-
and
this
isn't
a
criticism.
This
is
a
suggestion.
I
direct
you
back
to
the
statement
you
made
when
we
opened
this.
Don't
tell
me
what
you
value.
Show
me
your
budget
and
I'll.
C
Tell
you
what
you
value
and
it's
clear
that
for
decades
the
value
hasn't
been
southern
nevada,
and
now
we
are
feeling
the
results
of
that.
The
entire
state
is
feeling
the
results
of
that.
So
you
know
moving
forward.
We
have
to
dedicate
resources,
and
that
means
budgets
through
southern
nevada.
That
means
full-time
employees,
southern
nevada,
that
means
offices
to
southern
nevada.
That
means
programs
in
southern
nevada.
F
I
am
ontario
senator
I
understand,
and-
and
this
is
I've
identified
this-
and
this
is
where
we're
we're
going
to
be
working.
It
is
what
I
value
for
this
state
to
get
to
the
level
of
diversification
that
brings
fiscal
stability.
It
will
take
a
much
stronger
commitment
in
southern
nevada.
A
Okay,
all
right,
thank
you
all
very
much.
I
appreciate
it.
I
don't
believe
we
have
any
other
questions
or
comments.
Senator
brooks
wrapped
it
up
very
well
so
with
that
committee
members,
that
is
our
last
budget.
For
today
we
do
have
public
comment.
So
we'll
give
it
a
moment
to
switch
over
to
public
comment.
It
is
10
56,
so
we'll
wait
a
moment
senate
majority
leader.
I
I
apologize
for
going
over
a
little
bit
today,
but,
as
you
saw,
we
had
a
lot
of
questions
and
with
a
program
that's
been
this
long.
A
I
think
it's
good
that
we
had
this
conversation.
This
will
not
be
the
only
conversation.
This
will
be
ongoing
for
a
while.
So
we'll
we'll
keep
talking
about
these
issues
when
dollars
are
very
precious
this
session.
So
let's
give
it
a
moment
and
then
we'll
have
let
broadcast
services
cue
up
any
public
comment.
We
might
have.
B
A
B
B

B

D
D
B
D
Thank
you,
I,
I
sure,
appreciated
the
entire
content.
Today
we
are
all
very
much
aligned.
I
am
a
fifth
generation
nevadan
and
very
much
excited
about
this
quality
of
conversation.
D
I'm
excited
too,
to
talk
about
the
knowledge
fund.
I
I
was
there
and
alongside
senator
gancirch,
was
very
pleased
with
then
governor
sandoval's
leadership,
in
addition
to
now
congressman
stephen
horsford's
leadership
on
this
issue
and
we'll
get
to
that
in
a
moment.
But
I
do
want
to
talk
to
these
successes
because
I
they're
they're
significant
and
they
also
are,
I'm
afraid,
perhaps
not
being
conveyed
in
quite
the
way
that
they
they
could
and
I'll
I'll
be
very
direct
and
quick.
The
raiders
would
not
have
happened
without
the
knowledge
fund.
D
The
knowledge
fund,
with
a
250
000
seed,
grant
seeded
an
organization
at
unlv
that
created
a
classroom
environment
that
leaders
in
las
vegas
came
to
and
then
came
up
with
the
idea
to
approach
the
raiders
with
the
proposal.
This
has
been
told
in
a
frankly
endearing
espn
story
that
I'll
forward
to
the
members
of
this
committee,
but
that
is
in
itself
billions
of
dollars
of
what
used
to
be
a
california
company
and
now
it's
very
happily
a
las
vegas
company
paying
taxes
into
our
state's
coffers.
D
D
We
also
have
significant
medical
school
wins
that
again,
it's
not
the
case
that
the
medical
school
would
not
have
happened,
but
it
would
not
have
been
the
medical
school
that
it
is
at
unlv,
without
16
million
dollars
in
nih
funding
that
came
through
the
national,
the
nevada
institute
of
personalized
medicine
and
looking
forward
what
we
are
seeking
to
sponsor.
As
you
heard,
governor
sisilak
in
his
state
of
the
state
speak
to
is
this
very
exciting
development
of
room
temperature
super
conducting.
D
I
can
tell
you
that
every
company
in
silicon
valley
wishes
that
they
were
the
ones
who
discovered
this.
This
happened
in
a
lab
on
maryland
parkway,
and
that
is
what
we
will
be
funding
with
the
hopefully,
the
kindness
of
this
legislature,
the
next
round
of
innovation
funding
and
once
more
just
to
speak
to
what
was
going
on
during
the
2011
conversations.
D
I
remember
very
distinctly
steve
hill,
the
then
head
of
goed
saying
yeah.
This
is
the
kind
of
thing
that
could
actually
even
give
money
back
to
the
state
if
things
go
really
well,
but
I'm
kind
of
struck
by
how
central
to
the
conversation
this
notion
that
this
was
designed
like
the
cigarette
tax
or
the
alcohol
taxes
we
heard
earlier.
That
was
certainly
not
the
intent.
The
intent
was
to
build
an
innovation
ecosystem
in
a
state
that
desperately
needed
it
for
diversification,
and
on
that
front
I
would
submit
speaking
for
the
10
million
dollars.
