A
A
Carlton-
and
we
are
all
here-
thank
you
very
much.
Let's
take
just
a
moment
to
get
everybody
situated
and
then
we
will
begin
so
we're
just
going
to
take
a
pause
for
just
a
moment.
A
A
So
just
so,
everyone
knows
kind
of
the
plan
for
this
evening
since
we
ended
the
last
meeting
with
the
lcb
budget.
I
plan
on
taking
that
up.
First
that
way
mr
dose
and
her
team
can
get
back
to
work,
getting
things
done
for
us
and
then
we
can
go
ahead
and
get
through
the
subcommittee
closings
after
that.
So
as
soon
as
chair
brooks
returns,
we'll
go
ahead
and
take
up
the
lcb
budget,
with
the
adjustments
that
we
had
discussed
with
ms
erdos
last
friday,
so
give
us
just
a.
A
A
A
A
A
A
So
with
that
committee
members,
I
believe
everyone
has
the
document
good
evening.
Miss
erdos,
let's
take
up
where
we
left
off
on
friday,
so
you've
provided
us
with
a
document
that
deals
with
the
conversation
that
we
had
around
the
audit
division
and
a
document
that
centers
around
the
legal
division.
So
if
you
would
address
the
audit
division
first
and
then
the
legal
and
then
we'll
go
ahead
and
open
it
up
for
questions.
B
C
Hello,
yes,
for
the
record,
this
is
dan
russian
chief
financial
officer
of
the
legislative
council
bureau
just
very
quickly.
As
you
mentioned,
there
have
been
two
significant
changes
to
the
budget
data
that
we
presented
to
you
on
friday
for
the
audit
division,
we
are
requesting
appropriations
to
fund
two
additional
full-time
permanent
auditor
positions
and
the
related
travel
training
and
equipment
costs
for
those
positions.
C
These
positions
are
needed
to
ensure
that
the
division
is
adequately
staffed
and
able
to
respond
to
the
increased
workload
resulting
from
increased
federal
funding
and
the
next
biennium,
as
well
as
other
additional
audits
that
result
from
legislative
actions.
These
positions
would
increase
appropriations
by
approximately
330
000.
C
And
then
for
the
legal
division,
we
are
requesting
appropriations
to
fund
three
additional
full-time
permanent
positions.
One
position
would
be
an
experienced
attorney
level
position
and
the
other
two
positions
would
serve
to
assist
with
document
preparation,
duties
that
include
drafting
bills,
amendments
regulations
and
other
code
revisions,
basically
a
proofer
in
a
typist
position.
I
believe
these
positions
would
increase
appropriations
by
approximately
seven
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
dollars
and
that
that
was
the
detail
behind
those
those
two
changes
from
what
was
presented
on
friday.
C
So
therefore,
we
would
request
that
the
the
memo
that
you
see
before
you
is
an
addendum
to
the
budget
closing
memo.
We
would
request
that
the
committees
approve
the
appropriations
amounts
listed
in
both
of
those
documents,
as
well
as
grant
lcb
management
the
authority
to
make
any
technical
adjustments
if
necessary.
Thank.
A
You
and
thank
you
very
much,
mr
russian,
so
with
that,
if
are
there
questions
from
the
committee
at
this
time
on
these
particular
positions,
these
were
the
ones
that
we
had
discussed
last.
A
A
A
A
A
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
move
that
we
accept,
or
we
close
budget
account
327
2631
as
presented
to
us
last
week
and,
as
is
listed
on
nellis
under
exhibits,
in
addition
with
the
additions
of
this
current
addendum,
that
is,
the
new
positions
in
audit
and
legal
also
listed
as
an
exhibit
on
nellis
and
that's
the
motion.
A
So
everything
is
listed
on
nellis,
so
I
believe
we're
good.
I
have
a
motion
and
a
second
all,
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
any
in
opposition
hearing
no
opposition
passes
unanimously
of
all
the
members
present.
So
with
that,
thank
you
very
much.
Ms
erdos,
mr
rushkin
get
back
to
work.
We
got
a
lot
to
do
in
the
next
18
days.
A
A
C
You
right
hello
again
for
the
record.
This
is
dan,
russian
chief
financial
officer,
legislative
council
bureau,
sure,
okay,
so,
regarding
the
budget
account
which
is
used
to
record
the
operations
of
the
interim
nevada
legislature,
the
only
changes
that
we
were
requesting
from
the
base
budget
that
was
submitted
earlier
in
the
year-
and
it
was
part
of
the
executive
budget
record-
is
that
the
there
would
be
some
position.
C
Reclassifications
specifically
two
positions
in
the
interim
senate
would
be
reclassified
to
increase
to
the
next
grade
from
38
to
39
and
then
from
37
to
38
and
then
again,
two
positions
in
the
interim
assembly
once
again,
the
same
grade
changes
for
there.
The
total
net
effect
of
these
changes
position.
C
Reclassifications
would
be
about
35
000,
which
would
be
added
to
the
total
budget
for
the
interim
legislature,
so
that
would
bring
the
general
fund
appropriations
for
fiscal
year
2022
to
roughly
950
000
and
for
fiscal
year,
2023
to
roughly
800
000
other
than
that
there
were
no
no
changes
made
to
the
interim
legislature's
budget.
A
So
we
typically
don't
have
this
type
of
staff
through
the
interim,
but
we
realize
the
workload
that
we're
facing
through
this
next
interim
and
I
believe,
if
I
understand
correctly
part
of
the
thought
process
process
behind
this
was
just
succession
planning,
because
we
know
that
we'll
have
people
kind
of
coming
and
going
and
also
to
make
sure
that
we
have
some
cross
training
available
so
that
if
something
would
happen-
and
we
would
not
have
a
person
available-
that
we
would
have
someone
else
to
be
able
to
step
in
if
it
was
necessary.
B
Yes,
madam
chair,
I
believe
that's
the.
That
is
the
explanation
for
why
these
are
being
requested
at
this
time.
A
Okay,
thank
you
so
with
that
committee
members,
are
there
any
questions
or
comments
on
these
particular
positions
and
the
document
is
on
nellis,
so
it
should
be
up
and
available
to
folks.
It
was
posted
friday
also,
but
since
we're
had
rolled
it
to
today,
it
is
up
on
nellis
also
now
to
make
sure
that
the
public
has
has
the
document
available.
So
are
there
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
committee
members?
This
is
a
little
bit
different
than
what
we
have
done
in
the
past.
D
A
A
second
from
miss
monroe,
moreno,
any
questions
or
comments
on
the
motion,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye,
annie
in
opposition
hearing
no
opposition
passes
unanimously
of
all
the
members
present.
Thank
you
very
much
and
committee.
I
apologize
for
the
disjointedness
of
it
all,
but
we
got
through
it
so
that
part's
done
now
miss
urdos
and
mr
rushton.
Please
go
do
the
things
that
you
do
to
get
us
out
of
here
by
may
the
31st.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
A
A
So
with
that,
mr
leisure
good
evening,
I
believe
we
have
the
k-12
higher
ed
bond
interest
and
capital
improvement
program
up
first.
Is
that
correct.
F
The
subcommittee
recommended
to
approve
73.7
million
dollars,
consisting
of
a
50-50
split
of
36.8
million
dollars
in
state
general
obligation,
bonds
and
36.8
million
dollars
in
university
funds
for
cip
project
21c05
to
fund
construction
of
a
new
52,
000
square
foot,
engineering,
academic
and
research.
Building
at
the
university
of
nevada,
las
vegas.
F
The
subcommittee
recommended
to
approve
cip
project
21c03
for
a
55
000
square
foot.
Addition
at
the
washoe
county
training
center
for
the
nevada
army
national
guard,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
funding
the
project
with
26.1
million
dollars
in
state
general
obligation,
bonds
and
20
million
dollars
in
federal
funds.
F
All
three
projects
were
recommended
to
be
funded
through
the
issuance
of
bonds
with
debt
service
to
be
repaid
through
the
agency
budgets,
as
the
budgets
did
not
account
for
the
anticipated
debt
service
to
begin
repaying
the
bonds
in
the
2021
to
23
biennium.
The
projects
were
not
recommended
for
approval.
F
With
maintenance
project
21m02
the
governor
recommended
and
the
subcommittee
approved
a
new
policy
approach
to
provide
total
funding
of
27.1
million
dollars
in
state
general
obligation,
bonds
for
a
single
consolidated
maintenance
projects,
approach
for
the
department
of
health
and
human
services,
allowing
the
state
public
works
division.
The
flexibility
to
address
various
maintenance
needs
of
the
agency
through
the
ability
to
utilize
savings
from
identified
priority,
one
projects
to
fund
one
or
more
of
the
priority
two
projects
as
identified
in
the
cip
book
or
emergent
projects
that
arise
in
prior
by
nescip's.
F
F
In
approving
the
new
project
policy
approach,
the
subcommittee
recommended
the
issuance
of
a
letter
of
intent
directing
the
state
public
works
division
to
report
to
the
interim
finance
committee
on
a
quarterly
basis.
Summarizing
the
status
of
approved
priority
one
projects,
identification
of
any
savings
realized
by
the
projects
and
identification
when
savings
from
priority.
One
projects
were
expended
on
either
priority
two
projects
or
emergency
projects.
F
The
subcommittee
recommended
approval
of
the
governor's
recommendation
to
approve
6.2
million
dollars,
consisting
of
3.8
million
dollars
in
federal
funds
and
2.3
million
dollars
under
an
economic
development
project
type
to
support.
Seven
military
projects
that,
by
providing
a
state
match,
will
allow
the
state
to
bring
in
available
federal
funds
for
support
of
these
projects.
F
The
subcommittee
recommended
to
approve
the
following
larger
planning
projects,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
21p01
advanced
planning
for
grant
sawyer
office
building
and
remodel
with
4.9
million
dollars
in
state
general
obligation,
bonds,

for
advanced
planning,
remodel.
In
addition,
the
southern
nevada
veterans
home
with
4.2
million
dollars,
including
2.6
million
dollars
in
federal
funds
and
1.6
million
dollars
in
state
general
obligation,
bonds
and
21
p
zero.
F
F
A
A
It's
best
I
could
come
up
with
at
the
last
minute.
Don't
put
that
on
my
tombstone
okay,
so
dmvs
are
always
placing
dmvs
are
always
everyone
has
a
thought.
Let's
just
put
it
that
way.
A
So
I'll
share
my
thought
to
start
and
then
we'll
go
from
there.
So
I
understand
wanting
to
have
a
new
dmv
in
the
south.
I
think
that's
a
great
idea.
I
see
where
the
see
whether
it's
going
to
be
located.
I
think
it
will
serve
the
south
end
of
clark
county
very
well.
I
have
concerns
with
moving
the
commercial
side,
closing
the
donophone,
the
truck
commercial
side
and
moving
that
to
the
south.
I
see
all
that
truck
traffic
going
in
one
direction
and
we've
had
that
bit
of
a
problem
in
the
north
with
it.
A
So
that's
one
of
the
concerns
that
I
have
so,
mr
lizer,
I'm
gonna
sideswipe
you
and
I'll
apologize
later
for
doing
this,
but
is
there
anything
that
stops
us
from
having
two
commercial
divisions?
A
F
Madam
chair,
thank
you
for
the
question.
Brodylizer
fiscal
analysis,
division
regarding
during
the
hearing
in
in
regards
to
the
potential
for
the
department
to
keep
the
donovan
and
or
the
henderson
location,
open
and
operating.
F
Keeping
under
the
22
percent
cap
with
regard
to
their
highway
fund
expenditures,
and
so
that
that
was
the
concern,
so
I
don't
believe
that
there
would
be
anything
that
would
prohibit
the
department
from
operating
to
cdl
facilities
other
than
financial
constraints.
But
I
see
director
butler
is
on
the
screen
and
if
I
got
something
wrong,
I'm
sure
someone
will
correct
me.
A
And
thank
you,
mr
leisure,
and
and
for
going
over
that
it's
the
the
thought
process
isn't
in
keeping
the
henderson
dmv.
I
understand
the
change
in
that.
I
was
just
wondering
if
it
was
the
commercial
if
the
two
commercials,
where
that
would
put
us
with
the
cap
and
I'm
just
trying
to
find
a
happy
medium
for
a
lot
of
folks
who
have
different
opinions
on
this,
so
we're
just
trying
to
investigate
it
so
good
evening.
Miss
butler!
Thank
you
for
being
here.
G
I
don't,
unfortunately,
because
I'm
I'm
just
hearing
that
for
the
first
time
tonight,
if
we're
right
so
do
I
understand
your
question
of
of
having
a
cdl
in
both
locations,
one
in
south
at
the
silverado
ranch
and
valley
view
property
and
keeping
donovan.
Or
are
you
talking
about
strictly
constructing
the
new
facility
to
be
non-commercial
and
keeping
donovan
as
the
only
commercial
facility
in
the.
A
G
A
A
In
order
to
be
able
to
address
that
we're
we
know,
truck
traffic
is
what
it
is
and
being
able
to
have.
Instead
of
just
one
in
the
whole
clark,
county
actually
have
two
facilities
that
could
deal
with
the
cdl
portion
and-
and
I
apologize
I'm
just
trying
to
find
a
happy
medium
amongst
a
number
of
folks
who
have
have
some
concerns
about
the
only
cdl
being
in
the
far
south
side
of
the
valley.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
the
record,
julie
butler,
so
I
don't.
This
is
the
the
first
I've
heard
of
that
suggestion.
I
can
have
staff
crunch
some
numbers
first
thing
in
the
morning
and
report
that
back
to
you,
if
that
would
be
okay,
I
see
our
cat
calculation
trying
to
find
where
that
is
quickly
and,
of
course
I
can't
find
it
quickly
because
in
the
middle
of
my
meeting,
so
I
I
do
believe
we
would.
We
would
be
fine
with
our
cap.
G
Mark
or
threshold
and
depending
on
where
we
are
with
our
technology
fee
bill
can
go
up
to
27
and
I
believe
we're
well
within
that.
So
I
think
if
the
committee
wanted
to
entertain
two
locations,
I
think
we
would
be
within
the
cap
calculation
to
be
able
to
do.
That
would
want
to
confirm
that,
though,
with
our
budget
staff
and
lcb
fiscal
staff.
A
Okay,
thank
you
so
committee
members,
I'd
like
to
open
it
up
to
other
members
for
their
questions
and
concerns,
and
again
I
apologize
to
staff
and
and
miss
butler.
I
just
trying
to
help
everyone
who
has
a
has
a
position
on
this,
because
it
does
affect
a
number
of
folks
in
a
number
of
different
districts,
so
just
trying
to
find
a
a
happy
medium
and
I've
always
thought
it
seemed
a
little
crazy
that
we
just
had
one
place
in
all
of
clark
county
that
did
cdl.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
understand
the
need
to
have
more
than
one
location
for
the
cdl.
My
concern
are
probably
twofold:
where
the
donovan
location
is
a
more
industrial
location,
there's
no
residential
around
it.
I
understand
that
you
are
land
blocked,
but
there's
absolutely
no
residential
around
it.
It's
easy
access
right
off
the
15
and
craig
road
onto
donovan,
where
the
proposed
site
at
the
south
end
of
town
off
of
silverado
is
in
an
area
that
is
not
built
out.
E
G
Julie,
butler
dmv,
director,
for
the
record,
I
don't
my
understanding
is
that
state
public
works
staff
had
conversations
with
clark,
county
public
works
and
the
plan
is
for
the
silverado.
Excuse
me,
silverado
boulevard,
to
become
a
three
lanes
in
each
direction
and
for
valley
view
to
become
two
lanes
in
each
direction
and
as
part
of
this
as
part
of
this
overall
effort,
a
traffic
study
would
be
conducted
to
make
sure
that
that
those
concerns
could
be
alleviated.
G
Under
the
governor's
recommended
proposal,
we
were
proposing
a
close
don
event
and
transfer
those
staff
to
the
new
location
at
silverado
ranch,
so
we're
only
talking
about
11
tractor-trailer
trucks
per
day
in
terms
of
the
skill
test,
we're
not
talking
about
a
terrific
volume
of
trucks
in
a
residential
area.
G
Further
with
the
the
location,
the
proposed
location,
the
trucks
would
be
turning
into
the
dmv
before
they
got
to
the
residential
area.
That
is,
that
is
just
past
the
the
proposed
location.
G
So
we
really
believe
with
a
combination
of
the
traffic
study
and
working
with
with
the
county
in
terms
of
placement
of
traffic
signals
and
signage.
We
could
alleviate
a
lot
of
those
concerns
further
the
the
location
at
donovan
and
craig
road.
G
Additionally,
it
needs
some
refurbishments
in
terms
of
a
new
storefront
and
new
bathrooms,
or
bathroom
remodels
and
a
staff
break
area,
and-
and
so
if
it
were
the
desire
of
this
body
to
keep
both
facilities,
we
would
need
to
make
some
improvements
to
the
existing
donovan.
G
Facility
and
more
more,
do
you
have
any
additional
information
in
terms
of
timing
on
the
roads
and
improvements,
since
it
was
actually
your
staff
that
spoke
with
clark,
county
public
works.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair
ward,
patrick
for
the
record
state
public
works
division.
We
inquired
the
who.
C
What
when,
where
and
why
on
that
project
and
the
information
that
we
got,
is
that
there's
no
active
permits
for
that
to
be
those
improvements
to
be
made,
although
we
did
confirm
that
there
is
the
the
plans
to
make
the
as,
as
the
director
butler
stated,
three
lane
in
each
direction
on
silverado
ranch
and
two
lanes
in
each
direction
on
a
valley
view
in
that
area,
and
there
will
be
a
two-lane
turning
lane
going
off
of
silverado
ranch
into
valley
view.
B
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
chair,
just
as
a
point
of
of
reference,
I
literally
just
this
weekend
had
somebody
reach
out
to
me
that
went
to
the
donovan
trucking
facility
and
told
me
it
was
extremely
hard
to
get
into
and
they
need
to
wait
now
a
month
to
do
whatever
they
need
to
do
for
this
company,
and
so
it's
just
a
point
of
reference
to
add
to
the
information.
B
It
was
just
coincidence
that
somebody
had
reached
out
and
told
me
that
story,
so
I
I
I
don't
know
how
much
actual
trucking
ms
butler
said,
11
per
day,
but
I
don't
know
if
we
could
access
more
if
we
had
two
facilities
or
what
it
would
be.
But
this
person
did
say
that
the
facility
was
extremely
hard
to
get
in
and
out
of.
B
But
I
had
another
question
regarding
the
trucks
and
how
they
would
get
into
the
facility
pretending
that
they're
coming
from
the
15
and
they're
going
westbound
on
silverado
ranch,
would
they
turn
southbound
into
the
facility
or
where
they
go
to
valley
view
and
turn
southbound
from
there
to
then
turn
into
the
facility?
Or
would
they
actually
do
a
little
side
road
and
it
looks
like
there's
two
side:
roads,
a
lebaron
and
landberg
are
in
that
area.
So
offhand
do
you
happen
to
know
how
they
would
get
into
the
facility.
G
Julie
butler
for
the
record,
through
you,
madam
chair
to
assemblywoman
gorlow,
I
I
think
that
would
actually
come
out
in
the
the
traffic
study
and
in
the
design,
and
part
of
of
that
would
be
again
to
mitigate
this
body's
concerns.
With
with
where
that
truck
traffic
would
be
coming
in.
I
I
think
that
decision
would
probably
be
made
after
the
traffic
study
would
be
conducted.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
This.
You
know
a
reference
was
made
to
the
new
dmv
in
south
reno
and
that's
in
my
district.
It's
about
a
half
mile
from
my
house,
and
I
had
a
lot
of
concerns
as
this
was
being
planned.
Traffic
concerns
it's
right
by
an
elementary
school.
It's
transitional
between
some
some
warehousing
and
some
commercial
and
residential
and
I'll
say
that
it's
it's
turned
out.
H
It's
turned
out
darn
well
better
than
I
anticipated.
I
think
the
biggest
problem
I've
had
so
far
is
that
the
governor
exposed
me
to
covet
at
the
ribbon
cutting,
but
I
haven't
gotten
any
complaints
from
any
of
the
constituents
in
the
district
yet
and
the
facility
seems
to
be
working
pretty
pretty
well.
They
designed
the
ingress
and
egress
to
accommodate
the
cdl
to
the
point
where
it's,
it
hasn't
been
an
issue.
H
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Miss
haragi.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
this
is
in
the
center
of
my
district
right
in
the
heart
of
my
district
director
butler,
and
I
do
want
to
thank
you
for
taking
the
time
to
speak
with
me
this
afternoon,
and
a
couple
of
questions
came
up
after
we
talked
and
you
shared
the
map.
I
I
noticed
looking
at
the
map
that
you
said
that
there
is
going
to
be
a
lot
of
other
clark
county
centers
around
this
area,
and
I
wanted
to
see
if
by
any
chance
you
knew
because
directly
south
of
where
the
proposed
dmv
is
a
lot
that
has
already
been
leased
by
clark,
county
parks
and
then
south
of
that
there
is
a
lot.
That's
a
clark
county
school
district.
A
lot
so
do
we
know,
will
these
be
actually
an
actual
park?
That's
right!
I
G
Madam
chair,
to
you,
julie,
butler,
for
the
record
to
miss-
I
do
not
know.
Perhaps
charlie
donahue
administrator
of
the
state
lands
division
might
have
some
clarity
on
that
and
I
would
defer
to
him.
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair
charlie
donahue
for
the
record
administrator
division
of
state
lands.
I
think
the
map
that
someone
had
he's
referring
to
was
generated
out
of
my
office.
J
I
think
one
of
the
critical
things
about
the
reference
here
is
that
these
are
at
the
local
entities,
whether
it's
metro,
clark,
county
sheriff's
office
in
this
general
area,
rtc
or
parks,
have
secured
the
lease
under
the
rmpp
of
a
purpose
act
and
for
them
to
go
to
patent
and
move
forward
with
development.
They
have
to
do
exactly
what
director
butler
is
asking
for.
Is
this
advanced
planning?
So
I
think
it's
a
little
premature
to
say
what
clark
county
has
fully
vetted
out
in
terms
of
that
park.
South
of
the
hopefully
future
dmv
facility.
I
I
think
I'm
with
miss
scorlo
that
I
would
like
to
see
the
the
widening
of
silverado
happen
either
before
or
after
I
mean
I've
driven
that
stream
any
time
having
lived
off
that
street
and
there's
when
you're
heading
west
there's
a
portion
where
it
narrows
down
from
a
two
lane
into
just
a
one
lane
and
heading
west,
and
it's
already
very
dangerous,
because
there's
people
who
are
driving
west
on
silverado
ranch
thinking
that
they
can
continue
to
go
straight
and
they're
forced
to
turn
right
and
many
of
them
start
merging
into
the
left
lane
as
it
narrows
down
into
that
one
lane
past
valley
view.
I
A
And
and
thank
you
miss
haragi,
but
I
I
in
hearing
director
butler
that's
what
the
traffic
study
will
before
they're
allowed
to
proceed.
That
traffic
study
has
to
happen
and
I'm
hoping
all
those-
and
I
do
remember-
senator
keith
kevin
ross
having
a
lot
of
those
discussions
about
the
reno
dmv
in
in
the
same
way,
the
traffic
study
and
making
sure
that
there
was
access
to
the
property.
So
assemblywoman
tolls.
B
Thank
you
chair
and
thank
you
for
this
discussion.
If
you
could
refresh
my
memory,
because
I
know
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
caps
and
if
I
remember
correctly-
maybe
I'll
just-
I
won't
even
try
if
you
could
refresh
my
memory
about
where
we
are
in
existing
statute
with
the
caps,
and
I
believe
there
was
a
bill
forthcoming
that
would
permanently
increase
the
cap
to
27,
but
that
hasn't
been
processed.
Yet
I
know
that
there's
just
been
concerns
about
continuing
to
push
up
to
that
upper
limit
of
that
cap.
G
Julie
butler
for
the
record,
through
you,
madam
chair,
to
assemblywoman
tools,
so
current
statute
allows
the
dmv
only
up
to
22
of
highway
fund
appropriations
for
the
administrative
support
of
the
dmv,
because
obviously
we
want
most
of
the
highway
fund
to
go
to
be
built
for
roads,
right
and
and
not
necessarily
to
fund
dmvs.
G
So
I
have
just
pulled
up
our
administrative
cap
calculation
and
assuming
that
we
do
not
collect
technology
fee
revenue
for
the
2223
biennium.
We
are
currently
at
just
over
18
percent
for
fiscal
year
2022
and
just
at
20.3
percent
for
fiscal
year
2023..
G
Our
statutory
cap
is
22
percent.
The
assembly
woman
is
correct
in
that
we
had
proposed
a
budget
bill
draft
request
to
allow
the
department
to
continue
to
collect
the
technology
fee
while
simultaneously
addressing
allowing
us
to
collect
up
to
27
percent
for
the
2223
biennium.
G
That
bill
has
not
yet
dropped,
so
we're
not
sure
where
that
would
be.
If
we
were
allowed
to
do
the
27
percent
cap,
we
would
have
plenty
of
funds
to
operate
facilities
in
both
locations,
donovan
and
and
the
silverado
ranch.
Our
variance
from
the
cap
in
2022
at
27
would
be
about
33
and
a
half
million,
and
in
fiscal
year
2023
would
be
26.3
million
again
at
that
27
percent
level.
G
G
So
I
you
know,
I
think
it
it
could
probably
fund
the
staff,
and
that
would
be
the
issue
at
two
locations
is.
I
would
need
an
additional
contingent
of
staff
to
be
able
to
staff
both
locations,
plus
the
cosmetic
renovations
that
I
mentioned
before
at
donovan,
and
I
hope
that
answers
your
question.
A
Any
other
questions
from
committee
members
at
this
time,
so
I'm
not
feeling
comfortable
with
pushing
us
up
against
the
cap
with
two
of
them,
even
though
I
think
we
probably
could
use
two
with
a
conversation
about
there,
just
being
11
trucks
actually
taking
the
test.
I
think
that
gives
a
little
bit
better
level
of
comfort.
G
Julie
butler
for
the
record,
mr
patrick,
can
can
answer
that
a
little
better
in
terms
of
their
timeline,
but
we
would
be
looking
in
the
and
then
following
biennium,
2425
and
and
ward.
Can
I
kick
that
over
to
you
please.
C
Patrick
for
the
record,
this
is
a
planning
project,
so
during
the
next
biennium
we'd
go
through
the
traffic
study
and
other
engineering
studies
and
go
to
full
design
with
the
6.3
million
dollars
and
next
session,
there
would
be
a
proposal
of
approximately
63
million
dollars
to
complete
the
construction
and
construction
would
start
in
the
fall
and
take
less
than
20
months
to
complete.
So
we're
talking
about
summer
of
2025
for
a
completion
date.
A
I
Thank
you
so
much
for
indulging
me
for
a
second
time
chair.
I
just
I
had
spoken
with
senator
kikifer
and
he
said
that
he
was
very
involved
with
it
being
in
the
heart
of
his
district,
and
I
would
just
like
to
encourage
director
butler
to
reach
out
to
him
the
districts
that
will
be
impacted,
because
I
know
that
I
would
like
to
be
involved
in
that
planning
as
well.
Thank
you.
A
All
right
committee
members,
I
think,
having
this
extra
discussion,
gave
some
folks
a
little
bit
better
level
of
comfort.
So
with
that
not
seeing
anyone
else
wishing
to
be
recognized,
senator
brooks.
D
A
And
I
I
have
a
motion
from
senator
brooks
a
second
from
miss
monroe
moreno,
any
other
questions
on
the
motion
comments.
Seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
any
in
opposition
hearing
no
opposition
passes
unanimously
the
member's
present.
Thank
you
all
very
much.
Sorry.
We
threw
you
a
curve.
We
were
just
trying
to
get
everything
out
there
on
the
table
for
everyone
to
have
the
conversation,
mr
leiser,
if
you
would
go
ahead
and
finish
the
report,
please
and
then
we'll
take
a
motion
for
the
full
report.
F
F
In
addition
to
providing
financial
assistance
for
shovel-ready
projects,
funding
in
the
bank
could
be
used
as
a
match
to
any
federal
funding
that
may
be
received
as
part
of
a
federal
infrastructure
plan.
Finally,
the
subcommittee
recommended
authority
for
fiscal
staff
to
make
any
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
D
A
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
continue
to
have
concerns
with
a
couple
of
significant
pieces
of
the
cip.
Primarily
the
economic
development
projects
is
a
new
category.
I
think
that
we're
pushing
to
the
back
burner
more
nested,
more
needed
projects
that
that
would
help
shore
up
the
state's
capital
infrastructure.
H
Additionally,
I
think
it
would
be
more
appropriate
to
use
cash
on
hand
for
the
state
infrastructure
bank,
rather
than
issuing
debt
to
to
cede
it.
I
will,
however,
vote
to
accept
the
report.
I
lost
both
of
those
motions
in
subcommittee
so,
but
but
I
continue
to
have
concerns
about
them.
I
don't
necessarily
think
that
it's
the
most
appropriate
use
of
our
funds.
Thank
you.
A
And
thank
you
senator
and
I
understand
the
economic
development
side
of
it.
It
took
me
a
while
to
work
wrap
my
brain
around
that
that's
a
term
that
I
believe
was
used
a
number
of
cycles
ago
and
basically
it
means
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
pull
down
a
lot
of
federal
money
if
we
annie
up.
So
this
is
our
skin
in
the
game
to
pull
down
that
that
money.
A
So
it's
not
as
though
I
don't
believe
it's
replacing
programs,
it's
allowing
us
to
pull
those
federal
dollars
down
to
get
more
programs
done,
and
I
do
share
your
same
concerns
with
the
the
infrastructure
bank
and
I'm
waiting
to
see
the
actual
bill
draft
on
that
to
see
where
that
goes
moving
forward,
but
other
than
that
this
is
this
is
the
jobs
bill
and
thank
you
for
being
the
statesman
that
you
are.
When
you
make
your
argument,
you
lose
you
move
on.
A
We
truly
appreciate
that,
so
any
other
questions
or
comments
on
the
motion,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
any
in
opposition
hearing
no
opposition
passes
unanimously
of
the
members
present.
I
believe
we
can
go
on
to
the
next
subcommittee
closing
please
we'll
give
staff
a
moment
to
pass
it.
A
F
The
joint
subcommittee
on
k-12
higher
education
cips,
has
completed
its
review
of
the
state
public
works
divisions
budgets
and
makes
the
following
recommendations
for
the
2021-23
biennium.
The
closing
recommendations
of
the
subcommittee
resulted
in
a
reduc
reduction
of
general
fund
appropriations
of
eight
thousand
four
hundred
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
Twenty
twenty
two,
the
following
comments
describe
the
more
significant
recommendations
of
the
joint
subcommittee
regarding
the
engineering
and
planning
budget.
The
subcommittee
recommended
approval
of
budget
amendment.
F
The
subcommittee
approved
the
remainder

The

also
recommended
the
substitution
of

As

The

recommended
the
conversion

currently
funded

a
combination
of

K
K
The
subcommittee
also
considered
recommendations
concerning
outpatient
caseload-driven
staff
allocations.
The
executive
budget
recommended
general
fund
reductions
of
1.1
million
dollars
of
the
21
to
23
biennium,
resulting
from
the
elimination
of
five
positions.
Four
point:
zero:
two
for
full-time
equivalent
positions
as
a
result
of
projected
decreases
in
caseloads
in
the
medication
clinic.
K
Due
to
the
uncertainty
regarding
appropriate
staff,
client
ratios
and
projected
caseloads
as
coronavirus
related
restrictions
are
lifted.
The
committees
may
wish
to
consider
directing
the
division
to
review
and
update
its
behavioral
health
staff,
client
ratios
and
caseload
projections
during
the
21
to
22
interim.
K
K
Additionally?
Do
the
committees
wish
to
restore
one
psychiatric
nurse
and
one
senior
psychiatrist,
mid-level
practitioner
position
to
the
medication
clinic
in
fy23
to
apply
consistent,
stuff,
consistent
staffing
ratios
at
northern
and
southern
nevada,
adult
mental
health
services,
resulting
in
an
increase
of
260
thousand
twenty
thirty
four
dollars
in
general
fund
appropriations
in
fiscal
year?
Twenty
three?
K
Fiscal
staff
would
recommend
the
issuance
of
a
letter
of
intent
requiring
the
agents
to
revise
and
validate
stuff
client
ratios
and
staffing
levels.
Division
wide
to
be
applied
in
a
consistent
manner
in
its
future
budgeting
for
position
needs
this.
The
staff
would
also
recommend
to
require
this
analysis.
This
letter
of
intent
based
analysis
to
be
included
as
part
of
the
agency's
request
to
access
funds
from
the
contingency
account
in
fy23
and
as
part
of
the
agency
requested
23
to
25
forthcoming
biennium
budget.
A
A
I've
learned
how
to
delegate
so
this
is
one
of
those
times,
but
I
I
believe
staff
has
come
up
with
some
excellent
conversation
pieces
here
and
recommendations
to
make
sure
that
we
do
get
the
caseload
numbers
that
we
need
and
we
can
make
decisions
based
on
data
and
what
what
the
true
impact
would
be.
So
senator
raddy
any
comments.
B
Yeah,
I'm
I'm
happy
to
comment,
and
I
and
I
appreciate
the
the
explanation
which
was
challenging
and
I'm
sure
if
you
weren't
on
the
subcommittee
a
little
difficult
to
follow.
So
I
guess
our
apologies
to
everybody
are,
or
you
should
congratulate
us
for
trying
to
think
it
through.
So
so
here's
what
I
would
say
the
so
I
like
the
recommendation,
including
the
restoration
of
the
two
positions
based
on
the
letter
of
intent
and
the
contingency
option.
B
Just
like
we've
put
a
little
star
on
a
number
of
things
that
I
would
want
to
take
one
more
look
at
it
now
that
the
financial
picture
may
be
looking
better
to
make
sure
that
we
aren't
doing
drastic
cuts
to
behavioral
health
services,
in
particular
at
this
time.
B
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and,
I
would
say
ditto
to
a
lot
of
the
comments
made
by
my
co-chair,
senator
ratty
from
the
senate.
This
had
a
lot
of
discussion
during
our
subcommittee
meetings.
We
had
a
lot
of
painful
discussions
through
our
subcommittee
meetings.
However,
with
the
information
brought
to
us
from
dhhs
with
their
caseloads,
we
do
understand
that
those
caseloads
may
increase.
As
we
come
out
of
this
pandemic,
we
understand
the
financial
situation.
E
The
state
is
in
right
now
and
those
things
may
change
momentarily
with
things
are
changing
in
this
building
weekly,
as
as
we
all
know,
however,
what
you
see
before
you
is,
I
guess
what
I
could
term
a
quote:
unquote,
happy
medium
to
get
us
where
we
need
to
be
as
a
state
and
give
the
department
what
they
need
the
tools
to
help
their
clientele
with
their
current
caseloads.
A
Thank
you
very
much
so
committee
members.
Are
there
any
other
questions
or
comments?
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
little
stars
out
there
and
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
little
blue
stickies
in
different
places,
marking
things
for
all
of
us,
but
that's
not
a
conversation
for
tonight.
That's
a
conversation
for
the
future.
A
Once
we
get
a
better
feel
for
where
we
actually
are
so
not
hearing
anything
else,
I
believe
the
proposal
that
is
on
page
12
of
our
document
is
very
well
put
together
and
has
the
accountability,
measures
and
the
being
able
to
make
sure
that
we
get
all
the
data
that
we
need
so
senator
brooks
you.
D
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
I
moved
that
we
approved
the
decisions
laid
out
for
us,
including
the
letter
of
intent
laid
out
for
us
on

A
A
I
have
a
motion
from
senator
brooks
a
second
from
miss
monroe
moreno,
any
other
questions
on
the
division
of
parole
and
probation
report,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
any
opposition
hearing,
no
opposition
passes
unanimously
of
the
members
present.
Moving
on
to
our
next
report-
and
I
believe
our
final
report
for
the
evening
is
the
silver
state
health
insurance
exchange.
We'll
have
staff
pass
that
out
and
then
we'll.
A
L
The
joint
subcommittee
on
general
government
has
completed
its
review
of
the
silver
state
health
insurance
exchange
budget
request
for
the
2021-23
biennium,
and
the
following
comments
describe
the
more
significant
recommendations
of
the
joint
civic
committee
regarding
the
the
exchange's
admin
account.
The
subcommittee
recommended
approving
the
governor's
recommendation
to
fund
increased
call
center
capacity
for
the
federal
open
enrollment
period
of
november
1st
to
december
15.,
funded
with
reserve
reductions
of
83
450
in
each
year
of
the
2123
biennium.
L
In
addition,
the
subcommittee
recommended
approving
increased
contract
costs
to
fund
additional
staffing
at
the
call
center
for
the
extended
state
open
enrollment
period
december
16
to
january
15th,
funded
with
reserve
reductions
of
381
fifty
two
dollars
in
each
year
of
the
twenty
one.
Twenty
three
biennium.
L
The
subcommittee
also
recommended
approval
of
the
governor's
recommendation
for
four
new
positions
for
the
exchange.
These
positions
include
a
health
resource
analyst
to
staff
the
agency's
operations
unit,
a
business
process
analyst
to
staff
the
security
and
reconciliation
unit,
a
health
program
specialist
to
staff,
the
communications
unit
and
a
program
officer
to
staff
the
consumer
assistance
unit.
L
All
four
positions
would
be
funded
through
reserve
reductions,
totaling,
two
hundred
and
eleven
thousand
two
hundred
and
fifty
five
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
Twenty
two
and
two
hundred
and
eighty
two
thousand
five
hundred
and
seventeen
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
Twenty
three:
these
positions
are
recommended
to
help
the
agency
address
increased
workload,
that's
associated
with
the
growth
of
the
number
of
carriers
on
the
exchange,
as
well
as
to
absorb
duties
that
were
previously
performed
by
the
agency's
federal
partners
prior
to
the
exchange's
transition
to
the
state-based
exchange
model
in
fiscal
year
2021..
L
A
D
A
I
have
a
motion
from
senator
brooks
a
second
from
vice
chairman
moreno,
not
seeing
anyone
wishing
to
be
recognized.
No
questions,
no
comments.
All
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
any
in
opposition
hearing
no
opposition
passes
unanimously
of
the
members
that
are
here.
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
nichols.
A
So
with
that
committee
members,
I
believe
that
addresses
our
agenda
items
for
today.
The
last
item
we
have
this
evening
is
to
open
it
up
for
public
comment,
we'll
give
just
a
moment
for
those
listening
in
to
dial
in
tune
on
whatever
for
public
comment
and
then
we'll
we'll
go
to
broadcast
services
in
just
a.
A
M
M
And
we
will
begin
with
caller
with
the
last
three
digits
of
three
five.
Eight
caller,
please
slowly
state
and
spell
your
name
for
the
record.
You
have
two
minutes
and
may
begin
hello.
My
name
is
selena
larue,
hatch,
l,
a
space
r-u-e-h-a-t-c-h,
I'm
a
teacher,
a
member
of
nsca
and
wea,
and
I
am
calling
to
urge
the
members
in
this
room
to
support
ajr
one.
This
measure
is
so
long
overdue
and
clearly
popular
with
nevadans,
as
evidenced
by
the
thousands
of
emails,
hundreds
of
protesters,
hours
of
public
comment
and
overwhelming
overwhelming
polling
results.
M
You
have
received
since
its
introduction
last
summer
and
of
course
it
is
popular.
The
mines
in
nevada
make
a
fortune
from
our
resources
while
paying
a
pittance
in
taxes
to
support
the
state
that
makes
those
profits
possible.
It
is
time
they
start
paying
their
fair
share
in
this
state.
Just
like
the
rest
of
us,
we
are
in
a
time
of
crisis,
a
time
which
demands
sacrifice.
M
Healthcare,
workers,
educators
and
essential
workers
are
sacrificing
their
health
and
their
lives
in
order
to
keep
our
communities
safe
and
functioning.
We
are
asking
that
mining
corporations
share
in
that
sacrifice
to
keep
our
state
healthy.
If
we
can
sacrifice
our
health
and
our
safety,
it
seems
a
small
ask
that
mining
corporations
sacrifice
a
minuscule
portion
of
their
record
profits
in
order
to
fund
the
vital
community
services
of
education
and
health
care
in
this
state.
M
We
are
too
often
quick
to
cut
the
most
essential
community
programs,
but
slow
to
ask
the
mega
rich
to
chip
in
even
a
small
amount.
Education
cuts
are
second
nature.
Mining
tax
is
foreign.
This
is
wrong.
This
is
backwards.
This
is
harmful.
It
is
time
to
abandon
these
devastating
budget
balancing
measures
of
the
past
and
seek
a
new
path
in
which
all
nevadans
are
doing
their
part
to
improve
our
state
in
which
all
of
us
are
sharing
in
this
sacrifice,
and
not
just
the
most
vulnerable.
I
urge
you
to
pass
ajr
one.
M
A
M
Thank
you
next,
caller,
with
the
last
three
digits
of
five
eight
six
caller,
please
slowly
state
and
spell
your
name
for
the
record.
You
have
two
minutes
and
may
begin
carmen
andrews,
c-a-r-m-e-n
and
then
a-n-d-r-e-w-s,
I'm
a
high
school
spanish
teacher
in
the
ccsd
and
the
vice
president
of
nea
of
southern
nevada.
I
have
come
to
accept
that
nevada
just
doesn't
care
about
education.
M
M
Teachers
are
exhausted
from
having
the
largest
average
class
sizes
in
the
nation.
Support
professionals
are
exhausted
from
being
underpaid
and
overstretched
students
are
tired
of
not
having
textbooks
and
not
getting
their
fair
share
of
a
teacher's
time.
Educators
are
tired
of
spending
our
own
money
in
classrooms
to
bridge
the
gap
between
actual
funding
and
actual
need.
I'm
tired
of
mincing
words
quit
patronizing
us
and
pretending
that
you
care
decades
of
words.
That
say
you
support
education
at
this
point
mean
nothing.
Absolutely
nothing.
Actions
speak
louder
than
words.

Two
years
ago,
sd543
was
developed
behind
closed
doors,
wasn't
introduced
until
the
99th
day
of
the
session
and
had
been
a
single
public
hearing
bill.
Passing
minutes
before
sunny
die
today
on
the
99th
day
of
the
session,
c439
was
introduced
with
less
fanfare,
but
it
was
also
developed
behind
closed
doors
without
even
a
preview
of
its
content.
I
think
it's
scheduled
now
to
be
heard
tomorrow
evening.
The
new
funding
plan
will
fail
because
it
was
never
built
to
succeed
ever
since
the
introduction
of
sb543.
N
Two
years
ago,
nfc
has
expressed
policy
concerns
at
every
opportunity:
a
lack
of
educator
voice,
no
new
revenue,
watering
down
zoom
in
victory,
schools,
freezing
and
squeezing
school
district
budgets,
a
giveaway
to
charter
schools
and
undoing
the
rules
of
collective
bargaining.
Sb
439
fails
to
address
a
single
issue
raised
by
educators,
showing
stackers
to
be
unserious,
about
delivering
a
funding
plan
to
benefit
all
nevada
students,
nevada,
ranked
48th
among
states
in
education
funding.
Yet
the
new
funding
plan
includes
no
new
funding.
N
Meanwhile,
sd-439
further
moves
nevada
backward
by
proposing
to
strike
language
in
the
nrs
that
reference
merit
salary
increases
in
cost
of
living
adjustments
if
the
legislature
is
intent
on
moving
forward
with
the
implementation
of
the
new
funding
formula
and
fda
recommends.
Making
three
changes
to
ensure
the
new
plan
does
significantly
less
harm
than
that
of
students
and
educators.
N
First
grandfather:
existing
zoom
in
victory,
schools
located
in
nevada's,
poorest
communities
serving
the
highest
percentage
of
at-risk
students,
proven
models
of
education,
equity;
second
hold
districts,
truly
harmless
by
using
the
greater
the
2020
total
budget
or
per-pupil
amount
by
district,
adjusted
by
the
inflationary
costs
of
doing
business.
Finally,
remove
anti-union
language
that
increases
the
district,
any
fund
balance
rolled
off
from
collective
bargaining
to
16.6
of
annual
operating
costs
to
preserve
the
collective
bargaining
process.
