us
momentarily
she's
tied

She

be
chairing
this
meeting
and
while
she

I
will

the
cheering

as
soon
as

I
will
turn
it

I

Thank

On
page

the
subcommittee
will
find
closing
recommendation
for
consideration
for
the
nevada

registry.
D
There
are
two
major
decisions
before
the
subcommittee
regarding
this
budget.
On
page
four,
the
subcommittee
will
find
the
first
decision
decision.
Unit
e
226
is
the
governor's
recommendation
to
increase
fees
for
the
registration
and
renewal
application
of
a
radiation.
Machine
mammography
machine
healthcare
facility
and
medical
laboratory.
B
And
thank
you,
madam
chair
I'd,
be
happy
to
step
in
and
help
with
this.
So
I
would
move
the
recommendation
for
the
increased
fee
revenues
of
231
963
in
fiscal
year
22
and
222
999
in
fiscal
year,
23
to
support
the
national,
the
nevada
cancer,
central
council
registry
contingent
upon
passage
and
approval
of
the
enabling
legislation
is
recommended
by
the
governor.
Second.
E
C
B
And
if
I
may,
madam
chair
under
under
comments,
I
know
I
did
make
the
motion,
but
but
under
comments.
This
has
been
an
ongoing
issue
with
this
particular
item.
Over
the
last
couple
of
biennium
and
last
session,
we
had
a
a
real
conversation
about
not
using
general
fund
for
this,
and
since
it
was
supposed
to
be
fee
based
moving
to
something
that
we
thought
would
be
fair
and
fee-based,
and
this
is
what
the
agency
came
back
with.
B
So
I
believe
they
they
took
our
our
guidance
seriously.
When
we
closed
their
budget
last
interim
and
made
a
real
effort
to
come
forward
with
something
that
had
a
true
nexus
that
they
believed
would
there
was
other
possible
discussions
which
we
thought
would
be
even
worse
and
would
actually
inspire
physicians
to
not
report.
So
we
moved
away
from
that
and
went
more
in
in
this
direction,
so
I
believe
they've
done
the
job
that
we
asked
them
to
do,
and
I
I
appreciate
the
work
that
was
done
over
the
interim
on
this.
A
D
Thank
you,
chair
christian
tower,
for
the
record.
On
page
five,
the
subcommittee
will
find
sec.
The
second
decision
under
consideration
decision
unit
e
225,
recommends
expanding
198
317
dollars
in
fees
for
two
new
health
program,
specialist
positions
in
fiscal
year.
2023,
please
note
the
recommended
measure
would
be
funded
with
the
additional
revenue
considered
by
the
subcommittee
under
major
discussion
issue
number
one
just
a
minute
before
and
thus
would
be
dependent
upon
approval
and
passage
on
of
enabling
legislation.

On
page
six,
we're
still
for
second
at
the
cancer
industry,
there
are
some
other
closing
items
there
on
page
six,
which
all
seem
reasonable
to
staff.
Fiscal
staff
recommends
other
clothing
items,
one
two
three
and
four
be
closed,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
and
request
authority
for
staff
to
make
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
catching
that
members
any
questions
or
discussion
on
the
other
closing
items,
one
through
four
seeing
none.
I
will
entertain
a
motion.
Thank.
A
D
The
first
decision
relates
to
decision
unit
e
550
and
concerns
the
governor's
recommendation
to
use
1.4
million
dollars
in
fee
reserve
funds
in
fiscal
year
2023
for
an
upgrade
of
the
cloud-based
vital
records
data
system.
The
current
system
is
technologically
outdated,
potentially
insecure
and
time-consuming.
The
recommended
update
is
needed
to
avoid
security
breaches
and
for
efficiency
gains.
D
A
A

Thank
you,
jim.
The
second
decision
the
sacramento
will

Reclassifications
the
governor
recommends
the
reclassification
of
5
administrative
assistant,
1
positions
to
5
administrative
assistant,
2
state
positions
for
total
costs
of
43
551
fee
based
dollars
over
the
2021-23
biennium.
D
D
Approval
of
the
funding
for
this
request
should
thus
be
made
contingent
upon
the
division
of
human
resources
management
ultimate
approval
of
the
reclassification,
and
that
procedure
refers
to
a
new
standard
operating
procedure
in
this
session
that
basically,
the
evaluation
by
the
division
of
human
resource
management
is
done
after
approval
of
reclassification
by
the
legislature.
D
Does
the
subcommittee
wish
to
recommend
the
allocation
of
43
551
in
additional
fee
revenues
over
the
20
20
21
to
23
biennium
contingent
upon
the
division
of
human

Management's
approval
of
the
reclassification
of
five
administrative
assistant,
one
positions
into
five
administrative
assistant,
two
positions.
A
D
Pleasure
on
page
nine,
the
subcommittee
will
find
three
other
closing
items
which
all
seem
reasonable
to
staff.
Fiscal
staff
recommends
other
closing
items,
one
two
and
three
be
closed,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
and
request
authority
for
staff
to
make
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
Thank
you.
A
B
Chair,
I
would
move
the
allocation
of
43
551
in
additional
fee
revenues
over
the
2123
biennium
contingent
upon
the
division
of
human
resource,
management's
approval
of
the
reclassification
of
five
administ
administrative
assistants,
one
grade
23
ftes
into
five
administrative
assistant,
twos
grade
25,
ftes
and
other
closing
items.
One
through
three
be
closed,
as
recommended
by
the
governor,
giving
staff
the
authority
to
make
any
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
A
Thank
you
for
the
motion.
Second,
it's
been
moved
and
seconded
any
discussion
on
the
motion,
see
none
all
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye,
any
opposed
motion
carries
of
the
members
present
and
for
the
record,
senator
reddy
has
joined
us
and
I
will
be
turning
it
over.
The
chairman
sure.
D
D
D
Does
the
subcommittee
wish
to
recommend
the
elimination
of
three
positions
for
an
increase
of
reserve
levels
of
twenty
nine
thousand
seven
twenty
seven
dollars
in
fiscal
year?
Twenty
twenty
two
and
twenty
eighteen
thousand
three
hundred
eighty
dollars
in
fiscal
year,
twenty
2023,
as
recommended
by
the
governor.
A
E
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
the
question.
Is
there
other
comments
or
discussion,
so
I
will
chime
in
on
this
one,
so
it
it
seems
like
these
positions
are
slightly
differently
situated
than
the
the
mass
motion
that
was
made
on
april
1st
to
make
sure
that
if
there
were
vacancies
and
arp
money
was
able
to
be
used
that
those
could
be
added
back
as
of
october
1st,
but
because
these
were
situated
differently.
E
E
I
think
that
this
is
important,
because
these
are
public
health,
environmental,
specialist
positions
who
primarily
ensure
the
safety
of
the
restaurant
industry
or
sorry,
I
should
say
the
patrons
of
the
restaurant
industry
and
with
the
pandemic,
we've
had
so
many
shifting
responsibilities
for
environmental
health
specialists
that
it
seems
to
me
like
this
is
not
the
right
time
to
have
vacancies
in
this
kind
of
a
program.
So
that's
the
conversation
any
clarifying
questions
or
comments.
B
And
thank
you
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
understood
mr
thawer
correctly.
So
would
we
change
the
eliminations
to
a
vacancy
and
then
allow
that
april?
First
conversation
we
had
to
happen
at
the
full
committee
level
or
would
we
leave
these
at
an
elimination
and
then
add
them
back
in
at
the
full
committee,
which
is
the
easiest
way
to
the
the
path
of
least
resistance,
as
it
is.
D
B
E
Thank
you
any
other
questions
comments
all
right
because
we
don't
have
it
in
writing.
I
think
we'll
ask
that
you
state
the
motion
one
more
time.
D
Twenty
twenty
two
and
twenty
eighteen
thousand
three
hundred
eighty
dollars
in
fiscal
year,
twenty
twenty
three,
if
approved
fiscal
staff,
seeks
authority
to
make
technical
adjustments
and
would
bring
final
recommendations
regarding
the
position
restorations
to
the
full
committees
at
the
statewide
decision
units
closing
tentatively
scheduled
for
may
3rd
2021.
Thank
you.
E
F
Thank
you,
madam
chess.
Madam
chairman,
is
this
something
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
sort
of
throughout
this
packet?
Are
we
going
to
be?
Is
this
going
to
be
a
decision
that
we're
making
in
all
these
different
budget
accounts,
or
is
it
specific
to
this
one.
E
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
I
believe
my
intent
is
that
it
is
specific
just
to
this
one,
because
these
were
slightly
differently
situated.
We
have
been
trying
to
hold
the
line
pretty
tightly
on
any
future
decisions
about
arp
money,
but
because
of
the
nature
of
vacancies,
this
fits
into
that.
E
I
have
a
motion
and
a
second
that
was
discussion,
see
any
no
additional
discussion,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
I
I
any
opposed
everybody
is
here
in
person.
Okay
motion
passes
unanimously.
Thank
you.
Let's
go
ahead.
D
E
D
Thank
you,
chair
christiantel,
for
the
record,
moving
on
to
the
immunization
program
budget
from
page
13
on
in
the
closing
package.
One
major
decision
before
the
subcommittee
beginning
on
page
14.,
the
executive
budget,
recommends
the
conversion
of
one
contracted
federal,
grant,
funded
health
program
officer
positioned
to
a
full-time
state
position.
Federal
grants
would
fund
the
newly
created
position.
D
These
new
requirements
include
the
increase
in
immunization
rates
among
adolescents
and
adults
in
nevada
and
influenza
planning
all
tasks
with
which
the
new
position
would
be
associated
with
the
decision
before
the
subcommittee
is
on
page
15.
Does
the
subcommittee
wish
to
recommend
the
conversion
of
a
contracted,
full-time
health
program
officer
position
to
a
full-time
state
health
program
specialist?
One
position,
as
recommended
by
the
governor.
D
Of
course,
thank
you.
There
are
four
other
closing
items
in
this
budget
with
all
seem
reasonable
to
staff.
Fiscal
staff
recommends
other
closing
items,
one
two
three
and
four
be
closed,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
and
request
authority
for
staff
to
make
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
Thank
you.
E
D
There
are
two
major
decisions
before
the
subcommittee
beginning
on
page
18..
The
first
decision
concerns
decision
unit
e-25,
the
executive
budget
recommends
adding
four
new
positions
to
this
budget
for
the
creation
of
a
new
infection
prevention
unit.
Motivating
this
matter
measure
is
a
proactive
approach
to
infectious
disease
prevention
in
healthcare
facilities
with
the
most
vulnerable
nevadans
reside.
D
The
newly
created
unit
would
be
funded
primarily
with
reserved
fees.
The
agency
states.
It
feels
confident
to
have
sufficient
funds
available
for
this
measure.
Fiscal
staff
recommends
a
technical
adjustment
to
this
measure
to
ensure
proper
funding.
Support
for
this
measure
decision
before
the
subcommittee
is

Does
the
subcommittee
wish
to
recommend
the
creation
of
a
new
infectious
disease
unit
with
four
new
health
program,
specialist
positioned
at
cost
of
289
511
dollars
in
fiscal
year
2022
and
389
046

in

year
2023,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
and
with
a
noted
technical
adjustment.
E
All
right
we've
got
a
motion.
Second
motion
from
assemblywoman
monroe
moreno.
Second,
from
senator
john
darrell
loop,
any
discussion.
E
I
would
just
note
for
discussion
that
in
a
time
of
covid,
where
we
know
where
the
fatalities
are
coming
from,
I
think
that
this
just
is
incredibly
important
work
and
I'm
grateful
to
see
it
right
with
that
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
aye.
Any
opposed
motion
passes
unanimously.
D
Thank
you
chair
nexus
decision
unit
e
680.
It's
the
second
major
decision
before
the
subcommittee
from
page
99.
D
C
Thank
you
so
much
so
this
was
one
that
we
I
know
that
I
was
a
little
bit
unsure
about
just
because
we
worked
really
hard
to
kind
of
get
the
cbla
home
operators
to
a
better
place,
and
then
you
know
had
the
change
with
the
inspectors
beefing
up
inspectors,
and
all
of
that,
so
I
guess
the
one
thing
that
I
do
want
to
make
sure
of
is
that,
with
with
this,
with
this
change,
will
there's?
C
Will
the
agency
still
be
able
to
accurate
to
carry
out
their
quarterly
inspections
like
they've
been
doing
because
it
does
look
like
they've
been
complying
and
things
have
been
going
well.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
and
hear
it
on
the
record
that
we're
not
we're
not
inadvertently
putting
you
guys
in
a
place
where
you
can't
comply
with
all
these
laws
we
put
in
place
for
you
last
session.

The
other
closing
items
in
relation
to
this
budget
on
page
20.
other
closing
item
six
is
a
technical
adjustment
to
the
base
budget.
According
to
updated
information
fee
based
revenues
are
projected
to
be
one
million
dollars
higher
than
initially
anticipated
in
fiscal
year.
2022
and
487
615
dollar
higher
in
fiscal
year
2023
the
technical
adjustment
aligns
by
the
revenues
and
corresponding
reserve
levels
with
the
updated
projections.
E
E
D
Thank
you
chair.
The
second
major
decision
on
pages
22
and
23
concerns
the
transfer
of
the
hiv
aids
surveillance
program
and
supporting
funds
to
the
communicable
diseases
budget.
The
transfer
of
the
hiv
surveillance
program
and
supporting
funds
would
integrate
all
hiv

related
services
in
the
communicable
diseases
budget
for
efficiency
gains.
D
E

Thank
you.
The
third
major
decision
on
pages
23
and
24
concerns
the
governor's
recommendation
to
add

grant
funds
to

to
budget
amendment

component
grant
funds
to
this
budget
to
support
its
efforts

The
grant
funds
would
have
to
be
expanded
before
july,
31st
2023.
B
C
Chair,
obviously,
these
funds
are
needed
and-
and
we
are
in
a
situation
where
we
do
need
to
fund
what's
listed
here.
My
question
is:
when
these
funds
run
out,
we
have
to
spend
them
by
7
23
wanting
to
know
what
the
state
obligation
will
be
if
there
are
any
positions
here
that
we
would
then
be
obligated
to
fund
once
these
funds
are
gone.

During
its
december

building

related
dementias.
The
technical
adjustment
would
make
sure
that
the
grant
is
included
in
the
base
budget.
E
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
on
mr
tower
on
on
the
base
budget,
technical
adjustment,
so
we're
taking
a
federally
contracted
posi
or
a
federally
funded
position,
moving
it

presumption

Is
that
right.
D
That
is
correct.
The
the
expectation
is
that
this
position
would
be
continued
to
be
funded
with
federal
funds.
It
was
part
of
the
requirements
of
this
capacity
building,
grant
to
basically
build
up
and
create
a
position
that
coordinates
the
efforts
of
the
division
in
the
area
of
alzheimer's
and
other
related
dementia
diseases,
and
the
expectation
of
the
agency
is
that
there
will
be
more
grant
funds
coming
to
the
beginning
of
a
roll
of
a
set
of
disease
control.

I
would
like
to
thank
the

who
made

we're
going

The
governor's
recommendation
would
reduce

year,

when
compared
to

expenditures
of

the
recommended
amounts
for
case
management
are
15.6
and
27.4
lower
than
fiscal
year.
22
excuse
me.
They
are
lower
in
fiscal
year
22
and
23
respectively.
G
Both
programs
would
have
to
implement
an
order
of
selection
if
either
program
were
estimated
to
have
insufficient
resources.
The
order
of
selection
involves
categorizing
clients
based
on
the
significance
of
a
client's
disability,
with
the
most
significant
in
priority.
One
category
served
before
clients
with
less
significant
disabilities
in
priority
two
and
three
categories.
G
The
agency
canceled
its
arrangements
with
western
nevada
college
and
truckee
meadows
community
college
in
june
and
july
of
2020.
The
job
exploration
and
expectations
program
with
clark
county
school
district
is
still
operating.
However,
the
agency
and
clark
county
school
district
agreed
to
end
the
program
june
30th
2021.
G
The
agency
indicated
that
if
the
governor's
recommended
budget
were
approved,
it
anticipates
implementing
an
order
of
selection
and
clients
would
be
placed
into
priority
categories.
Based
on
the
significance
of
disability,
the
agency
estimated
that,
under
an
order
of
selection,
approximately
3,
700

clients
would
be
in
priority.
Category
1
and
approximately
1200
of

and

and
would
be
served
if
funding
were
available.
After
serving
the
category
one
clients.
G
G
However,
the
agency
did
not
utilize
all
general
funds
available
to
draw
the
matching
federal
section
110
grant
awards,
as
shown
in
the
table
at
the
top
of
page
67.,
the
agency
indicated
each
annual
grant
may
be
expended
over
two
years.
However,
the
entire
match
for
the
grant
must
be
provided
in
the
first
year
of
the
grant
the
agency
indicated
because
of
the
individualized
nature
of
the
services
it
provides.
G
It
sometimes
needs
to
find
and
establish
vendors
in
order
to
start
the
procurement
process,
which
hindered
its
ability
to
expend
the
entire
general
fund
appropriation
in
the
first
year
of
the
grant
and
contributed
to
the
reversions
fiscal
staff
notes.
Other
state
agencies
face
similar
challenges
with
the
state's
processes
for
procurement
contracts
and
expenditure
approval
and
are
able
to
effectively
plan
and
operate
under
standard
budgetary
law.
G
Since
the
agency
receives
a
new
federal
grant
award
each
year,
the
agency
should
always
have
available
federal
grant
awards
to
draw
down,
as
it
utilizes
matching
general
funds
prior
to
the
issuance
of
the
next
federal
fiscal
year
award
authorizing
the
transfer
of
general
funds
between
fiscal
years.
As
the
agency
requests
would
require
back
language
in
the
appropriations
act
and
the
recommended
appropriations
act.
Language
included
in
the
executive
budget
does
not
contain
such
a
provision.
G
In
addition
to
the
general
fund
appropriations
with
the
elimination
of
the
third
party
cooperative
arrangements,
the
agency
would
only
have
been
expenditures
to
utilize
for
the
required
match.
In
addition
to
the
general
fund
appropriations
based
on
the
governor's
recommended
budget
for
the
general
fund
appropriations
and
federal
section
110
grant
included
in
the
2123
biennium
the
agency
estimated.
It
would
need
2
million
in
allowable
ban
expenditures
in
each
year
of
the
2123
biennium.
G
In
order
for
the
two
bureaus
combined
to
have
sufficient
funds
to
draw
the
entire
federal
section,
110
grant
included
in
the
governor's
recommended
budget
based
on
the
general
funds
recommended
in
the
executive
budget
and
projected
ben
expenditures.
The
agency
projects
a
match
shortfall
in
the
2123
biennium,
meaning
that
the
agency
would
be
unable
to
utilize.
The
full
amount
of
federal
funds
recommended
fiscal
staff
estimates
that
1.1
million
dollars
in
bent
expenditures
may
be
available
as
match
funds
each
year
of
the
2123
biennium
in
total.
G
For
the
two
budgets
that
share
the
federal
section,
110
grant,
then
expenditures
available
for
match
are
estimates
at
this
time,
as
actual
amounts
are
unknown
until
expenditures
are
made
based
on
the
amount
of
federal
funds
and
general
funds
recommended
by
the
governor
for
the
2123
biennium

the
estimated

staff,.

The
subcommittee

million
dollars
over
the

Thank
you
miss
morris,
so,
first
of
all,
I
would
just
I'd
like
to
express
my
gratitude
to
the
lcb
fiscal
staff
who
clearly
dug
in
on
this
budget.
After
the
hearing
there
was
a,
I
think,
a
lot
of
questions
about
the
idea
of
an
order
of
selection
and
what
could
and
couldn't
be
done.
So
thank
you
for
bringing
us
options
with
that.
Does
anybody
have
any
clarifying
questions
or
comments,
assemblywoman,
benitez
thompson
and
then
I'll
go
to
senator
key
cover?
Thank.
C
You
so
much-
and
this
was
a
lot
of
following
the
pieces
of
what's
in
and
what's
out
and
one
of
those
great
examples
of
you-
you
take
a
chunk
of
money
out.
Then
you
realize
that
you've
you're
taking
out
too
much
and
then
you're
not
going
to
get
it
be
able
to
leverage
other
money.
But
there's
there's
also
kind
of
some
some
different
things
going
on
here,
and
so
at
least
my
thought
would
be
because
in
trying
to
follow
this
and
making
sure
I
was
understanding
it.
C
I
was
realizing
that
there's
just,
I
think,
there's
probably
more
going
on
that.
We
should
be
just
watching,
and
so
I
thought
that
at
least
it
made
sense
to
see
about
some
reports
back
every
six
months
so
that
we
could
better
kind
of
watch.
How
some
of
this
is
the
spending
and
the
allocations
going
out
over
time
and
get
come,
get
a
better
picture.
I
think
that
might
be
helpful
so
that
we
don't
end
up
next
biennium
in
the
spot,
where
we're
kind
of
sorting
back
through
things
all
right.
F
Thank
you
manager,
so
what
I
think
is
important
is
that
we
get
some
sort
of
understanding
of
what
those
trigger
points
are
for
getting
into
an
order
of
selection.
So
something
has
changed
between
when
this
document
was
written
and
now-
and
I
don't
know
exactly
what's
changed,
where
we
were
as
as
option
b
was
originally
crafted,
it
indicated
that
it
would
require
an
order
of
selection
that
has
since
been
updated,
I'm
not
sure,
what's
changed
or
where
in
the
agency's
process.
E
C
You,
yes
thank
you
for
the
opportunity,
I'm
shelley
hendering
administrator
for
the
rehabilitation
division.
I
wish.
I
could
assure
you
that,
I'm
sorry
to
say
I
don't
know
where
a
miscommunication
occurred,
but
basically
the
1.8
million,
that's
being
proposed
would
fill
the
hole
that
we
discovered
with
the
inflation
of
the
bend
soft
match.
C
I
can't
say
for
certain,
because
we've
never
been
here
before,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
processes
we'll
have
to
undertake,
including
getting
approval
from
our
federal
oversight
agency,
to
go
into
order
of
selection.
But
a
lot
of
the
challenges
that
were
expressed
in
our
budget
hearing
will
continue
to
exist.
C
The
requirement
for
pre-employment
transition
services
is
half
of
our
client
service
budget.
The
way
this
is
being
structured,
so
is
that
enough
money
for
the
rest
of
you
know
general
clients
likely
not
because
also,
if
you
look
at
that
trending
data,
these
are
the
lowest
funding
levels
in
18
years.
B
C
So
certainly
that
would
be
a
solution
to
help
us,
but
I'm
sorry
to
say
I
also
have
to
correct
that
part
of
the
information.
What
we
were
requesting
with
section
10
of
the
appropriations
bill
is
the
ability
to
pre-match
our
grant
so
section
10
doesn't
allow
us
to
spend
general
fund
when
other
fund
sources
are
available.
C
The
exception
under
section
10
would
allow
us
to
switch
to
general
fund,
say
in
the
month
of
may
or
june,
pay
all
expenditures
with
general
fund
so
that
we
could
use
all
of
our
general
fund
and
what
that
allows
us
to
do
with
our
federal
grant
is
when
we
go
into
year.
Two,
those
federal
funds
have
already
been
matched.
We
can
draw
those
federal
funds
in
year
two,
so
that
was
the
exception
that
we
were
asking
for
not
to
balance
forward
general
fund.
C
B
If
you
pull
all
the
general
fund
down
that
we're
giving
you
for
two
years
in
the
first
year,
there
may
not
be
enough
money
there,
because
we
put
it
in
each
year
to
be
drawn
down
at
a
certain
time.
B
B
All
know
right
now,
the
first
year
of
this
budget
cycle
is
like
squeaky
tight.
Yes,
so
I'm
gonna
let
fiscal
staff
jump
in
because
I'm
not
sure
the
section
10
reference
is
actually
where
we
need
to
be.
B
But
I
would
also
be
very
wary
that
if
all
the
general
fund
was
spent
in
the
first
year-
and
then
you
say,
the
federal
money
is
going
to
come,
but
the
federal
money
doesn't
come.
Then
you're
back
for
a
supplemental
and
we're
backfilling
you
in
the
future.
So
the
whole
idea
in
budgeting
is
certain
amounts
in
certain
years
so
that
we
can
budget
for
it.
C
Could
I
clarify
yes
ma'am?
Thank
you
shelly
hendren
for
the
record,
so
when
I
say
we
would
switch
to
general
fund
and
use
it
up,
I
meant
for
the
general
fund
appropriated
for
that
state
fiscal
year,
not
all
the
general
fund
for
the
biennium.
So
you
know
there's
an
argument
that
we
leave
funds
on
the
table.
C
C
B
Or
three
times
so,
I'm
just
trying
to
get
down
to
where,
where
the
actual
issue
is
because
we
are
now
at
the
end
of
april,
and
we
have
to
close
these
budgets.
So
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I'm
asking
the
other
people
sitting
up
here
with
me
to
make
decisions
based
on
real
data
and
and
answers
to
to
to
questions
that
were
posed.
H
The
reference
to
section
10
in
the
authorizations
act
is
somewhat
perplexing
in
so
much
is
that
I
don't
see
how
it
applies
to
what
I
believe
they're
talking
about
is
or
what
the
agency
is.
Referencing
is
a
concept
of
of
pre-matching
state
general
fund
dollars
or
spending
them
disproportionate
to
the
availability
of
federal
funds,
and
that's
not
what
section
10
of
the
authorizations
act
either
restricts
or
contemplates
for
that
matter.
B
I
appreciate
all
the
hard
work
that
ms
morris
did
in
getting
us
to
this
point,
but
apparently
there's
there's
still
some
issues,
so
I'm
not
sure
how,
like
I
said,
we
don't
do
this
one.
That
often
so
this
motion
isn't
in
the
back
of
my
head
as
a
lot
of
the
other
ones
are,
but
I
would
be
much
more
comfortable,
madam
chairs,
both
of
you,
if
you
would
allow
us
to
roll
this
particular
budget
to
another
time,
so
that
we
can
get
better
answers
and
move
forward.
B
I
think
order
of
selection
is
a
significant
issue,
so,
if
you'd
like
to
roll
it
to
another
day,
I
really
don't
think
closing
separately
would
would
work,
because
I
don't
think
you
could
get
the
votes
to
do
anything
on
this
right
now,
so,
if,
if
it
would,
if
that
would
work,
however,
staff
would
like
to
do
it,
but
I
would
I
think
rolling
it
to
another
day
would
be
our
best
option
at
this
time.
Thank.
E
You
assemblywoman.
I
would
just
like
to
note
that
this
budget
item
is
very
closely
connected
with
this
next
budget
item,
and
so
I
would
assume
that
your
recommendation
would
be
to
roll
both
of
them
all
right.
Well,
the
thing
that
I
would
like
to
make
clear
is:
please
don't
wait
for
our
staff
to
ask
the
right
questions.
E
Let's
just
make
sure
that
we're
sharing
the
information
that
we
need
for
us
to
understand,
and
the
expectation
is
going
to
be
that
we
understand
very
clearly
what
the
trigger
points
would
be
for
order
of
selection
and
very
clearly
what
the
issue
is
with
drawing
down
federal
match
and
anything
else
that
we
need
to
know
in
order
to
close
this
budget,
because
we
are
running
out
of
time.
So
I
hope
that
that
is
as
clear
as
it
can
possibly
be.
E
Okay,
so
with
that,
oh
senator
kekefer,.
F
E
All
right
is
the
motion
just
to
roll
this
to
another
day.
Is
it
as
simple
as
that?
H
Well,
for
the
record,
it
could
be
clear
that
if
you,
if
you
wanted
to
defer
just
this
item
to
another
day
and
then
do
the
other
closing
items
in
this
budget
or
if
you
just
wish
to
defer
the
entire
budget
as
well
as
the
budget,
account
3254
service
to
the
blind
and
visually
impaired.
That
might
be
the
cleanest
way
to
handle
it.
That
I'm
sure.
G
There
is
one
major
closing
issue
in
this
budget,
and
that
is
a
phone
system
upgrade
the
governor
recommends
federal
social
security
administration
funds
of
three
hundred.
Seventy
thousand
and
seventy
eight
dollars
over
the
2123
biennium
to
upgrade
the
agency's
existing
phone
system
to
the
department
of
employment,
training
and
rehabilitation's
modernized
cloud-based
phone
system.
G
At
its
june
1st
2020
meeting,
the
interim
finance
committee
approved
costs,
totaling
1.3
million
dollars
for
the
departments
to
develop
and
implement
an
upgraded
replacement
phone
and
interactive
voice
response
system
during
the
2019
21
biennium.
The
governor
now
recommends
the
bureau
of
disability
adjudication
upgraded
to
the
replacement
system.
G
G
Within
a
few
months,
the
agency
indicated
that
most
of
its
staff
had
been
working
remotely
during
the
pandemic
and
with
the
current
phone
system,
the
agency
could
not
transfer
incoming
calls
to
staff
working
remotely,
and
the
agency
anticipated
that
some
remote
or
hybrid
work
structure
would
continue
as
offices
reopen
in
the
future.
Indicating
the
need
to
transfer
calls
would
continue.
G
However,
the
agency
indicated
the
conversion
to
the
upgraded
system
would
not
be
complete
until
september
2021
at
the
earliest
indicating
operational
expenses
would
not
be
incurred
for
two
months
of
fiscal
year.
22.
fiscal
staff
recommends
a
technical
adjustment
to
remove
two
months
of
operating
expenses,
totaling
21
nine
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
Twenty
two
with
the
recommended
adjustment.
This
decision
unit
would
be
two
hundred
twenty
one
thousand
two
hundred
sixty
four
dollars
in
fiscal
year:
twenty
two
and
one
hundred
twenty
seven

fifty
dollar

dollars
in
fiscal
year.
G
A
Thank
you,
madam
material
for
the
approval
of
social
security
administration
funds,
as
recommended
by
the
governor,
with
the
noted
technical
adjustments
of
three
hundred
forty
eight
thousand
eight
hundred
nineteen
dollars
over
the
twenty
one.
Twenty
three
biennium
to
convert
the
agency's
phone
system.
A
G
A
E
G
I
will
pause
following
my
presentation
of
each
budget
to
allow
for
questions
when
I
have
presented
the
last
budget
in
this
group,
and
questions
have
been
addressed.
The
chair
may
wish
to
ask
for
a
single
motion
for
closing
consideration
on
all
of
the
budgets
for
which
fiscal
staff
is
responsible
for
developing
recommendations
on
page
83,
the
blind
business
enterprise
program
budget
begins.
G
The
blind
business
enterprise
of
nevada
program
provides
blinded
individuals
seeking
self-sufficiency,
the
opportunity
to
operate
snack
bars
and
vending
operations
in
certain
federal
state
and
municipal
buildings
across
the
state.
There
are
three
other
closing
items
in
this
budget.
One
with
recommended
technical
adjustments
and
closing
recommendations
for
this
budget
are
included
on
the
summary
page
in
the
closing
packet.
G
The
next
budget
begins
on
page
85.
It's
the
rehabilitation
administration
budgets,
which
provides
administrative
support
services
to
the
agencies
within
the
division
and
is
funded
primarily
through
cost
allocation
reimbursements.
There
are
two
other
closing
items
in
this
budget.
One
with
recommended
technical
adjustments
and
closing
recommendations
for
this
budget
are
included
on
the
summary
page
in
the
closing
packet.
G
And
page
87
of
the
closing
packet
is
the
summary
page
and
fiscal
staff
recommends
that
the
following
budgets
be
closed.
As
recommended
by
the
governor,
with
technical
adjustments
to
align
the
the
department's
cost
allocation
revenues
and
charges
based
on
information
provided
by
the
agency
and
requests
authority
for
staff
to
make
other
technical
adjustments
as
necessary
budget
account.

the
blind
business
enterprise
program
and
3268

E

Okay,
well,
that
was
an
awful
lot
of
work
on
the
part
of
an
awful
lot
of
people.
So
I'd
like
to
again
thank
our
team
and
the
agencies
for
the
work
that
they
put
into
getting
us
to
this
point.
We'll
look
forward
to
some
additional
information
on
the
two
budgets
that
we
were
not
able
to
close
with
that
we've
got.
One
item
must
have
left
of
business
is
to
open
it
up
to
public
comment.
Is
there
anybody
in
the
room
who
would
like
to
make
public
comment?
