Okay,
so
we
have
quite
a
few
closings
for
the
budgets
out
of
the
department
of
health
and
human
services,
division
and
child
family
services.
So
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
staff
to
walk
us
through
the
first
one.
C
A
Excuse
me,
john,
I
forgot
one
very
big
step.
We
need
to
you
allow
folks
to
print
out
the
closing
documents.
Yes,.
A
A
C
Thank
you,
chair,
rowdy,
very
much
appreciate
it.
This
is
john
cusara,
with
lcb
fiscal
this
morning,
we'll
be
going
through
19
budget
closings
for
the
department
of
health
and
human
services,
division
of
child
and
family
services,
nine
of
which
are
staff
close
and
will
be
heard
at
the
end
in
a
single
consolidated
motion
taken
on
those.
Otherwise
I
will
do
my
best
to
pause
after
each
motion
is
read
to
allow
for
discussion
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
along
the
way.
C
Members
may
note
different
sections
indicating
discussion
during
the
subcommittee
hearing
for
the
division
of
child
and
family
services
was
on
february,
10
2021
and
a
separate
section
just
including
information
during
the
hearing
and
or
follow-up
information
obtained
by
fiscal
staff
from
the
relevant
agencies,
beginning
with
the
first
major
issue
again
on
page
four
of
your
closing
document
is
a
governor
recommended
edition
of
one
new
social
services
manager
position.
This
includes
175
000
in
federal
revenue
over
the
21
to
23
biennium.
C
C
This
new
position
would
analyze
unmet
needs
across
the
victim
services
provided
by
dcfs
would
seek
out
and
apply
for
new
sources
of
funding
and
develop
community
partnerships
for
a
leadership
role,
and
really
it
is
this
leadership
role
that
is
provided
as
justification
for
this
new
position.
According
to
the
agency,
the
existing
management
analyst
position
would
remain
and
would
take
on
additional
data
analytics
responsibilities.
D
C
D
C
Thank
you
for
the
question
study
women.
According
to
information
provided
by
the
agency
during
the
hearing,
these
federal
sources
are
stable
and
are
fairly
large
in
scope
as
well.
So
the
agency
did
not
indicate
any
concern
with
funding
this
position
in
the
future.
With
the
identified
federal
funding
sources.
D
E
F
On
that,
madam
chair,
if
I'm
right,
ms
thompson,
thank
you
so
much
if
I'm
right,
these
are
kind
of
legacy
grants
that
come
in
like
the
title
for
e,
the
title,
4b
and
those
kinds
of
federal
grants
that
are
coming
in.
So
these
aren't
the
new
federal
dollars.
These
are
more.
I
guess
we
would
say
legacy
federal
dollars
that
we
receive
into
these
programs.
C
A
correct
assembly
woman,
the
exact
funding
source
here,
is
primarily
our
voca
grant
and
also
the
federal
family
violence
grants.
So
these
funding
sources
are
not
tied
to
perhaps
any
pandemic
related
funding.
These
are
established
funding
sources.
F
A
All
right,
any
additional
questions
see
none
assemblywoman
monroe
moreno.
You
have
a
motion.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
move
that
we
go
with
the
recommended
175
318
in
federal
revenues
over
the
2021
2023
biennium,
to
support
the
new
social
services
manager
position
and
the
associated
expenditures
to
oversee
the
victim
services.
A
H
B
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Moving
on
to
other
closing
items.
Fiscal
staff
will
not
go
through
each
item
individually.
However,
if
there
are
any
questions
from
members,
I'd
be
happy
to
address
any
of
those
that
come
up
of
notes
are
other
items
that
are
closing
items
eight
and
nine,
which
include
a
position
transfer
and
base
budget
technical
adjustments.
Fiscal
staff
would
also
like
to
note
other
closing
item
number
seven
includes
a
item
discussed
as
a
major
closer
issue
in
the
36
46
southern
nevada
and
china.
C
Adolescent
services
budget
relating
to
the
elimination
of
the
lease
at
4180,
south
pecos
road
and
based
on
that
fiscal
staff,
will
recommend
a
slightly
different
motion
for
these
closing
items.
That
is
as
follows.
Fiscal
staff
recommends
other
closing
items
one
through
six
be
closed,
as
recommended
by
the
governor.
Other
closing
item
seven
be
closed
contingent
on
the
approval
of
the
associated
major
issue
in
the
3646
southern
nevada,
child
and
adolescent
services,
budget.
H
C
H
Okay,
I
appreciate
that
it
seems
to
me
that
this
is
sort
of
the
decision
for
the
subcommittee
over
whether
we
want
to
create
that
unit.
Overall.
This
is
because
there
are
going
to
be
positions
moving
in
from
all
kinds
of
different
agencies.
These
just
seem
to
be
the
first
ones
that
are
coming
to
us.
I
personally
like
the
idea
of
having
that
data
analysis
unit
within
dhhs.
H
C
C
Time
absolutely
sure
ready.
The
motion
is
as
follows:
fiscal
staff
recommends
other
closing
items
one
through
six
be
closed,
as
recommended
by
the
governor.
Other
closing
item
seven
be
closed
contingent
on
the
approval
of
the
associated
major
issue
in
the
3646
southern
nevada,
child
and
adolescent
services,
budget.
Other
closing
items
eight
and
nine
be
closed
with
the
noted
technical
adjustments
and
request
authority
for
staff
to
make
other
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
that
we
accept
the
recommendations
as
presented
and
described
by
mr
casara.
G
H
C
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
If
I
may
move
on
to
the
next
budget,
account
in
the
closing
packet
is
washoe
county
child
welfare
budget
account
31..
The
first
major
issue
begins
on
close
on
page
8
of
your
closing
packet.
This
is
the
fiscal
incentive
payment
budget
reduction,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
of
what
892
500
in
fiscal
year,
22
and
805
thousand
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
C
23
is
being
recommended
for
budget
productions
related
to
the
fiscal
incentive
payment
program
for
washoe
county
there's
a
similar
decision
unit
in
the
following
budget
for
clark
county
that
will
be
discussed
separately
as
well.
The
fiscal
incentive
program,
as
discussed
during
the
hearing
members
of
the
subcommittee,
brought
up
concerns
that
reductions
to
these
general
fund
appropriations
may
impact
the
county's
ability
to
provide
child
welfare
services.
C
In
response
information,
the
county
noted
that
historically,
funding
provided
by
the
state
through
this
fiscal
incentive
program
was
used
to
support
the
safe
babies,
our
place
differential
response
and
family
preservation,
programs
and
services.
These
programs
seek
to
improve
permanent
outcomes,
the
well-being
of
infants
and
toddlers
in
foster
care,
improve
responsiveness
to
child
protective
services
and
also
improve
outcomes
related
to
youth
and
families
experiencing
homelessness,
as
well
as
family
reunion,
family
reunification
efforts.
A
A
Can
we
go
ahead?
I'd
like
to
ask
for
a
one
minute
recess.
H
H
A
I
say
that,
as
with
many
of
these
budgets
in
health
and
human
services,
where
I
have
concerns
about
the
populations
that
were
affecting
I,
I
would
prefer
that
we
didn't
have
to
do
these
cuts,
but
I
am
fully
aware
that
we
don't
have
any
revenue
at
this
point
that
we
can
allocate
to
this.
So
while
I
would
prefer
not
to,
I
think
that
our
decision
at
this
point
is
to
go
with
govrek
and
hopefully
that,
as
we
make
our
way
through
session,
we
can
find
some
answers
on
a
lot
of
these
budgets.
A
D
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
make
a
comment.
I
too
am
just
heartbroken
on
some
of
these
decisions
that
we
have
to
make.
These
are
tough
decisions,
but
we
also
have
to
balance
our
budget
and
we
have
to
balance
our
budget
on
what
we
have
today,
not
what
we
may
have
in
the
future.
Having
said
that,
however,
we
do
have
perhaps
some
opportunity
in
the
future
to
restore
some
of
this
funding,
but
we
can't
go
on
that
with
what
we
are
obligated
to
do.
A
Thank
you
all
right.
Any
additional
discussion.
A
All
right,
then
I
assemblywoman
monroe
moreno.
Do
you
have
a
motion.
G
A
D
D

H

C
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Moving
on
to
major
issue
number
two
in
the
washoe
county
child
welfare
budget.
This
relates
to
the
block
grant
for
respite
funding
and
can
be
found
on
page
nine
of
your
closing
packet,
as
recommended
by
the
governor.
There
is
continuation
of
180
thousand
dollars
in
general
fund
appropriations
in
the
base
budget
each
year
of
the
21
to
23
biennium,
to
support
respite
services,
which
are
short
term
relief
to
caregivers
and
can
be
one
time
or
ongoing.
C
This
is
currently
within
the
child
welfare
block
grant
within
both
washoe
and
clark
county
and
will
similarly
be
discussed
in
the
following
budget,
while
unspent
block
grant
funds
are
not
required
to
revert
to
the
general
funds.
The
money
committees

passing
this.
This
funding
in
2019
intended
funds
appropriated
for
respite
to
be
expended
on
respite
services,
in
line
with
the
program
that
was
presented
to
the
subcommittees
and
approved
by
the
legislature.
C
C
Staff
will
note
the
agency
presented
some
validity
concerns
with
this
information,
projecting
information
out
to
22
and
23,
based
on
the
uncertainty
of
future
funding
sources,
as
well
as
the
utilization
of
these
services.

so

funds

year

in
each
year
of
the
21

biennium,
as
is
the
current
practice
for
adoption

Information
would
be
provided
to
dcfs
at
the
fiscal
year

closing
to
determine
the
appropriateness
of
expenditures
within
the

relevant

reservations.

was

option

subcommittee.
The
subcommittee
may
also
wish
to
consider
reissuing

for
all
three
child
welfare
agencies,
including
washoe

appropriations
for
respite
funding
each
year
of
the
21

move
the

category.
A
A
All
right,
I'm
leaning
towards
option
number
two,
which
I
think
make
sure
that
the
dollars
were
are
used.
The
way
we
intended
and
have
the
opportunity
for
the
reversion
also
that
they
having
the
letter

would
be
a
good
starting
point
so
that
we
just
can
get
a
handle
on
what
these

are
doing.

The
subcommittee
expressed
similar
concerns
during
the
march.
Excuse
me,
during
the
february
hearing
and
the
agency
provided
information
that
indicated
positive
results
from
the
specialized
foster

pilot
again
beginning
as
far
back
as

C

How,
when,
when
asked
what
the
impact
of
the
implementation
of
this
state
plan
amendment
would
be
on
existing
services
and
or
potential
duplication
with
services
funded
by
the
general
fund.
All
the
agencies,
including
clark
washoe
and
the
division
of
child
and
family
services
indicated
the
impact
is
largely
unknown.
Fiscal
staff
will
note
that
both
counties
represented
that
there
would
be
no
fiscal
impact
and
there
would
be
no
duplication
of
general
funds.
As
noted
previously,
appropriations
for

are
not
required

However,
it
is
within

to
include

appropriations
act
requiring

certain
circumstances,
and
in
this
case
the
option
for
the
subcommittee
would
be
to
recommend
approval
of
back
language
in
the
appropriations
act.
That
would
require
these
agencies
to
both
identify
and
revert
potential
duplication
of
general

with.
C
Alternatively,
if
the
subcommittee
wishes
to
recommend
for

the
subcommittee
may
wish
to
issue
a

result
of
the
implementation
of
the
specialized
foster
care
state
plan,
amendment
for
potential
consideration
by
the
2023
legislature.
C
A
E
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
man,
I'm
sure,
and
I
I
really
want
to
appreciate
staff
for
the
the
hard
work
on
this
one.
This
is
these
things
can
get
very,
very
complicated.
I'm
I'm
leaning
towards
option
number
two.
If
extra
money,
if
the
medicaid
dollars
do
come
in,
I
believe
I
mean
we
just
had
a
conversation
about
a
cut
of
1.7
million
dollars
in
another
area.
I
believe
if
there
are
general
fund
dollars
that
can
come
back
in
the
future
and
do
work
in
other
areas
where
there's
still
going
to
be
need.
E
I
I'm
totally
supportive
of
that.
I
believe
the
back
language
and
the
appropriations
act
will
will
give
us
what
we
need
and
then
then
future
legislators
can
actually
take
a
look
at
this
to
see
what
did
happen,
but
if
it
doesn't
come
through,
we've
fulfilled
our
responsibility
as
far
as
these
programs
across,
and
this
is
across
the
whole
state.
So
this
is
a
statewide
decision,
we're
not
just
doing
for
one
county
and
not
for
another,
we're
taking
where
everyone
is
going
to
be
asked
to
do
the
same,
because
it
is
the
medicaid
program.
H
Hey
man,
I'm
sure,
I'm
just
you
know,
based
on
the
the
previous
decision
we
made,
and
now
this
one.
I
think
we
need
to
consider
the
fact
that
we're
really
changing
a
lot
of
the
dynamics
of
the
block
grants
for
the
for
the
for
counties
and
whereas
we
moved
to
the
block
grants
to
provide
the
flexibility
to
provide
comprehensive
services
that
they
need
necessary,
surviving
the
ground
in
their
communities.
H
This
is
eroding
some
of
that
flexibility
and
I
worry,
frankly
that
it
might
make
it
more
difficult
for
county
family
services
to
do
their
jobs
long
term.
But
you
know
if
final
two
is
the
motion.
I'd
be
happy
to
I'll
support
it,
but
I
think
I
would
need
to
think
long
term
about
what
what
we're,
where
we're
moving
to,
if
we're
moving
away
from
a
block
grant
strategy
for
child
welfare.
E
And
madam
chair,
if
I
may
senator
key
kepper,
I
I
had
some
of
the
same
concerns.
It
took
me
a
while
to
get
used
to
block
grants
but
times
change
and
the
fact
that
there
could
be
other
dollars
in
this.
This
is
not
getting
rid
of
the
block
grants
which
you
know.
If
I
got
to
write
these
closing
documents
that
might
be
in
there.
E
This
is
basically
just
saying:
okay,
we
want
to
take
a
really
good
look
and
we
want
to
understand-
and
we
want
to
be
able
to
evaluate
we've
done
them
for
a
while,
it's
time
to
evaluate
hold
them
accountable,
figure
out,
what's
actually
going
on.
So
it's
it's,
not
an
elimination,
but
it's
just
a
real
hard
look
at
where
we're
going.
So
I
I
appreciate
your
your
point
of
view
and
that'll
be
a
decision
for
future
legislators
to
make,
but
they'll
have
data
to
make
it
on.
A
C
Gerard
you
are
correct.
This
motion
would
allow
fiscal
staff
to
include
back
language
in
the
appropriations
act
for
consideration
by
the
joint
full
committees
when
the
appropriation
act
is
heard
and
as
being
part
of
session
law,
that
back
language
would
be,
in
effect,
for
the
23
to
20.
Excuse
me,
21
to
23
biennium
were
future
legislatures
inclined
to
approve
the
continued
language
they
could,
but
would
not
be
obligated
to
do
so.
A
D
A
It's
a
journey
learning
how
to
be
a
legislator
here
in
carson
city.
So
if
we
could,
then,
if
there's
no
more
discussion,
we'll
go
ahead
and
take
a
motion
danielle,
I'm
sorry,
assemblywoman,
monroe,
moreno.
E
I
would
move
option
two
to
approve
the
block
grant
general
fund
appropriations
for
washoe
county
child
welfare,
clark,
county
child
welfare
and
the
categorical
appropriation
in
the
rural
child
welfare
budget
for
specialized,
foster
care
included
in
the
executive
budget
and
recommend
the
addition
of
language
in
the
appropriations
act
requiring
dcfs
to
identify
and
revert
any
general
fund
savings
associated
with
the
implementation
of
the
specialized
foster
care,
medicaid
state
plan,
amendment
and
corresponding
general

appropriations
for

adoption
subsidy
case
load
increases
were
discussed
as
a
major
issue
in
the
highlight.
However,
fiscal
staff
have
identified
no
concerns
and
this
was
moved
to
other
closing
items,
as
is
common
for
health
and
human
services
agencies.
Caseload
updates
are
provided
through

These
caselet

have
been
included
by

as
technical

and
are
reflected

may
move
on
to
clark
county
child
welfare
budget
account
3142
beginning
on
page

of
your
closing
packet.
These
major
issues
will
sound
very
familiar
as
the
ones
just
discussed
in
washoe
county
child
welfare
as
they
involved.
First,
the
fiscal
incentive
payment
budget
reduction
and
second,
the
child
welfare
block,
grant
president
funding
regarding
the
fiscal
incentive
payment.

The
governor
recommends
general
fund
budget
reductions
to
clark
county
child
welfare
of
2.7
million
in
fiscal
year,
22
and
2.4
million
in
fiscal
year
23.,
as
was
done
in
washoe
county.
These
governor
recommended
budget
reductions
represent
a
51
and
46
respective
reduction
to
the
fiscal
incentive
program
in
fiscal
years.
22
and

very.

However,
this
penalty
will
be
held
in
abeyance
and
forgiven
with
the
sex,
with
the
successful
completion
of
the
program
improvement
plan
and
according
to
documentation
submitted.
This
plan
is
expected
to
be
complete
by
the
end
of
october
2021.,
to
better
understand
this
impact
and,
as
was
done
in
washoe,
county
fiscal
staff
requested
impacts,
as
described
by
clark,
county
department
of
family
services,
and
there
is
a
direct
quote
at
the
top
of
page

That.
D
B
A
Thank
you
comments
or
questions
from
the
committee.
F
Thank
you,
I
think,
just
like
how
we
closed
the
washoe
budgets,
I
mean
at
added
face
value.
This
is
this,
is
the
I
mean,
there's
there's
not
a
good
way
to
put
a
smiley
face
on
what
this
could
potentially
do,
and
you
know
we're
trying
to
constantly
problem
solve
around
it.
F
But
you
know
I
don't
want
anyone
out
there
in
the
public
to
think
that
we
are
we're
not
fully
cognizant
and
recognizing
the
impacts
that
some
of
these
might
have
and
and
hopefully
we
can
figure
out
something
else
different,
but
for
today
this
is
where
we're
at,
but
I
don't,
I
don't
want
it
to
be
lost
or
for
anyone
to
think
that
we're
not
fully
absorbing
what
these
mean
and
what
these
cuts
mean,
and
I
just
it
feels
right
to
say
that
before
we
vote
on
this.
A
Yes,
assemblywoman,
I
appreciate
your
comments
and
I
think
they
are
shared
broadly
by
the
committee,
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
a
process,
this
session,
that
we
have
to
keep
moving
through
the
process
right
now.
This
is
a
subcommittee
close.
There
will
be
a
full
committee
close
and
then
there
will
be
a
budget
bill
at
the
end
and
we're
hoping
that
there
will
be
better
news
for
some
of
these
budgets
along
the
way
setting
an
expectation.
A
I
don't
know
if
there'll
be
better
news
for
every
budget,
but
this
is
the
first
step
in
a
process
and
we're
sensitive
to
what
we're
doing
here.

Over
fiscal
year,

and
23,
and
the
result
of
that
request
is
displayed
in
the
table
at
the
top
of
page
18..
This
request
mirrors
very
closely
the
program
approved
by
the
2019
legislature
and
includes
daily
rates
of
20
and
50
per
day

care.
However,
based
on
a
report
provided
to
the
interim
finance
committee
over
this
over
the
prior
interim
clark,
county
indicated
that
approximately
thousand
dollars
of
the
total
general
fund
appropriation
in
fiscal
year
2020
was
expended
on
traditional
respite
services
with.

would
maintain

thousand
dollars

in

for
potential
expenditure
for
any

welfare
purpose,

not
related
to
traditional
respite
care?
Option.
Number
two
again
is
the
same
as
was
presented
in
washoe
county,
which
would
take
155
thousand
dollars
from
the
block
grant
in
each
year
of
the
biennium
and
move
it
to
a
special
use.
Category
again
doing
so
would
restrict
the
use
of
these
funds
to
traditional
respite
care
and
require
the
reversion
of
unexpected
funds
as.
D
C
Case
with
the
prior
budgets
were
the
agency
to
request
a
transfer
funding
to
the
interim
finance
committee.
Such
a
transfer
could
be
approved
to
the
block
grant
category
for
general
child
welfare
expenditures.
Were
there
a
surplus
in
this
special
use
category
and
with
the
approval
of
the
internet
finance
committee.

Is
to
approve
one

fifty
five
thousand
dollars
in
general
fund
appropriations
for
respite
funding
each
year
of
the
21

ten
thousand

in
total

move
the

authority
from

Restricting
the
funding
to
the
provision
of
traditional
services
and.
A
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
It
would
be
my
motion
that
we
move
option
two,
as
presented
by
staff,
to
be
consistent.
C

March
adjustments
through

and
the
updates
to
actual
caseload
are
including
are
included
in
tables
at
the
bottom.
However,
fiscal
staff
has
no
concerns
with
these,
and
thus
they
have
been
moved
from
the
major
closing
issue
in
the
hearing
to
the
other
closing

motion:

I'm
sure
senator
key
cover
yeah.
H
Thank
you
I've
just
for,
mr!
So
in
the
updated
caseload
projections,
it's
reducing
general
fund
need
by
a
million
dollars.
Am
I
reading
that
correctly
over
the
biennium.

Four
b
sub
part
one
funding
each
year
of
the
21
to
23
biennium
during
the
subcommittee
hearing,
members
of
the
subcommittee
noted
concern
with
the
reduction
in
sub
awards
from
4b
subpart
1
funding
how
this
governor
recommended
decision
unit
works
is
700
000
in
4b1
funding,
instead
of
being
used
for
supplemental
awards
and
other
activities
is
being
recommended
to
be
repurposed
to
support
personnel
within
the
child
and
family.
Excuse
me
within
the
real
child
welfare
budget.
The
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
general
fund
that
is
being
reverted,
was
previously
used
to
support
these
positions.
C
According
to
the
agency,
such
a
rearrangement
of
federal
funds
is
preferable
to
eliminating
positions
in
the
child
welfare
budget
based
on
direction
from
the
subcommittee
fiscal
staff,
requested
follow-up
information
from
the
agency
requesting
detailed
information
of
what
this
700
000
reduction
may
look
like
based
on
the
prior
years
awards.
Seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
is
detailed
in
the
bottom
of
page.
23
primarily
includes
reductions
to
supplemental
awards
for
washoe,
county
and
clark.
County
fiscal
staff
will
note
that
these
in
the
prior
year
were
supplemental
awards
which,
based
on
on
fiscal
staff's
understanding,
are
awards.
C
Above
and
beyond,
what
has
historically
been
provided
to
these
counties-
and
this
is
a
fixed
general-
a
fixed
federal
fund
amount,
meaning
that
the
rural
child
welfare
budget
is
currently
recommended
by
the
governor
to
receive
approximately
2.4
million
dollars
in
each
year
of
the
biennium.
So
this
is
a
fixed
funding.
Source
and
reallocation
of
these
funds
would
not
impact
the
total
amount
of
federal
funds
in
the
state
simply
how
they
are
utilized
to
make
room
for
the
700
000
in
general
fund
reversions.
C
A
B
C
A
G
E
Madam
chair,
if
I
may
thank
you
and-
and
I
intend
on
supporting
the
motion,
but
when
I
look
at
the
chart
in
the
center
of
page
23-
and
I
see
clark,
county
and
washoe
county
bearing
the
burden
of
this,
so
this
money
can
go
to
support
the
rurals.
I
just
think
it's
important
that
that
is
on
the
record.
E
There's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
about
things
like
that
over
the
years,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that
is
part
of
our
record
today,
but
I
do
plan
on
supporting
this,
even
though
I
have
some
serious
concerns.
Thank
you.

presented
for
consideration

packet.

first
is

the
spring
mountain
youth
camp.
Each
year
of
the
21
to
23
biennium
at.
A
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
So
this
has
been
a
conversation
point
for
a
number
of
cycles.
We've
had
we've
tried
to
do
what
we
can.
E
They
came
came
before
us
wanted
to
do:
medicaid
we've,
given
them
that
option
numerous
times
at
the
end
of
the
session
or
when
we've
closed
these
budgets,
we've
asked
for
them
to
go
back
and
work
with
folks
and
see
if
they
could
come
up
with
a
plan
towards
being
a
little
more
self-sufficient,
not
totally
self-sufficient,
but
a
little
more
self-sufficient
and
the
response
that
we
got
after
the
first
hearing
was,
I
believe,
inadequate.
E
It
basically
said
our
our
answer
to
the
solution
is
for
us
for
you
to
just
you
know,
fund
us
there.
There
was
no
real
skin
in
the
game
on
their
side,
so
I
just
I
just
feel
sooner
or
later,
especially
when
we're
we're
dealing
with
cuts
from
all
over
the
place,
and
this
is
looking
like
an
add
back.
E
I
just
feel
right
now.
As
far
as
the
subcommittee
goes
that
we
should
stick
with
gov
wreck
for
now,
because
this
is
the
point
that
we're
at
hopefully
folks
will
have
some
more
conversations
and
we
could
have
another
conversation
in
the
future.
I
don't
know,
but
sooner
or
later
I
feel
very
strongly
that
this
needs
to
get
addressed
the
county.
If
the
counties
need
something
from
this,
then
they
need
to.
E
Let
us
know
if
there
are
other
issues
we
can
help
with
that,
but
for
right
now
I
believe
we're
we're
in
a
position
where
I
would
be
leaning
towards
option
number
one:
approval
of
of
govrek.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
being
able
to
have
a
comment.
I
appreciate
it
and
I
appreciate
assemblywoman
carlton's
comments.
Also
I
do
will
I
do
realize
that
she
has
indeed
all
the
last
four
sessions
that
I've
been
here
with
her
on
this
committee.
Put
out
to
china
springs
that
they
needed
to
come
up
with
a
different
funding
formula.
D
One
of
the
medic
one
of
the
solutions
was
medicaid,
which
they
did
successfully
pass
and
we
did
in
this
body
last
session.
They
did
come
forward
with
some
of
the
plans
this
session.
It
was
also
a
big
lift
and
again
I
I
saw
what
they
proposed
and
it
they
need
to
have
of
some
more
responsibility
in
this,
but
I
would
be
supportive
only
of
number
two
at
this
point.
I
am
concerned
about
the
immediately
immediate
results.
D
There's
no
cushion
here,
there's
no
ability
to
sustain
this
program
if
we
do
not
fund
this
program
at
this
time.
So,
unfortunately,
if
we
go
with
one
I'll
have
to
be
a
no
on
that.
H
Thank
you.
I
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
it's
a
good
discussion
and
obviously
we
have
work
to
do
with
how
we
fund
these
facilities
long
term.
I
worry
if
we
do
close
with
number
one
and
then
don't
find
a
resolution
that
we
end
up
in
a
situation
where
a
lot
of
kids
are
going
to
be
sent
to
some
of
you
or
mitc
or
some
other
facility.
That
might
not
be
the
most
appropriate
placement
for
them.
So
we're
going
to
err
on
the
side
of
caution
on
this
one
and
and
fund
it
with
with
general
funds.
H
A
A
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair
same
here,
I'm
in
favor
of
number
two.
I
I.
F
Feel
that
the
short-term
impact
will
be
felt
immediately
in
those.
D
Facilities
and
although
we
can
find
alternative
funding,
we
do
it
over
time
and.
A
Thank
you,
so
anybody
else
like
to
make
a
comment
all
right.
I
would
like
to
just
explain
where
I
am
on
this
one
and
then
we'll
go
ahead
and
take
a
motion,
so
I
am
sympathetic
to
the
plight
of
the
the
camp
and
particularly
to
the
children
who
benefit
from
that
camp,
but
also
understand
the
conversation
and
that
we
just
aren't
making
any
progress
on
the
conversation,
one
of
the
things
that
I'm
thinking
is
again.
This
is
just
the
subcommittee
closing
and
that
there's
still
opportunity
to
work
on
this.
A
A
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
this
one
is
a
difficult
one.
However,
after
the
conversations
we
had
yesterday
and
the
conversation
here
today
in
the
subcommittee,
I
too
would
like
to
make
a
the
motion
for
option
number
one.
The
approval
of
the
governor's
recommendation,
including
the
1.2
million
in
general
fund
reduction
to
china,
springs
and
rural
pines
youth
camps
and
the
addition
of
the
12
750
in
general
fund
appropriations
to
spring
mountain
youth
camp
each
year
of
the
2021
2023
biennium,
and
the
authority
for
staff
to
make
the
other
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
A
D
D
C
A
Thank
you.
Yes,
so
motion
passes
five
to
three
in
the
assembly,
but
fails
on
a
thai
vote
of
two
to
two
in
the
senate.
I
would
take
a
new
motion
on
the
senate
side.
Senator
keffer.
H
I'm
sure
I
would
recommend
those
with
recommendation,
numbers
and
work
out
our
differences.
A
A
Seconded
by
senator
hammond
for
the
purposes
of
moving
us
along
today,
I'm
going
to
change
my
vote,
and
so
we
will
close
this
one
with
differences
in
the
senate
and
the
assembly
and
we'll
work
it
out
when
we
get
to
the
full
committee.
B
C
Okay,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
That
concludes
the
youth
alternative
placement
budget.
Moving
on
to
summit
view,
youth
center
budget
account
3148,
beginning
on
page
31,
and
continue
on
to
page
32..
There
are
no
major
issues
in
this
budget.
C
H
Thank
you
yeah
during
our
discussion,
mr
cucera,
regarding
both
summon.
D
H
Mit
and
kelly
anthony
there
was,
we
talked
a
decent
amount
about
caseload
projections
and
and
and
where
those
those
facilities
were
in
terms
of
caseload
based
on
the
current
fiscal
year.
H
Moving
forward,
let
me
receive
back
additional
information
that
case
loads
included
in
government
might
be
a
little
overstated.
C
D
C
Provided
are
perhaps
artificially
low
in
the
current
pioneer
based
on
biennium.
Excuse
me,
based
on
the
concerted
efforts
of
county
juvenile
justice
departments,
for
a
couple
of
reasons,
one
the
the
concerns
of
of
congregate
care
during
the
pandemic
and
number
two
understanding
the
reduced
facility
capacity.
C
These
diversions
have
been
taking
place
at
a
staff
understands
at
a
local
level,
whether
those
diversions
could
reasonably
be
forecasted
to
continue
in
the
22
in
fiscal
years.
22
and
23
frankly,
is
an
unknown
and
and
while
more
information
may
be
put
forth
there,
there
was
no
additional
consideration
of
holding
positions
vacant
based
on
that
level
of
uncertainty,.
H
As
I
recall,
excuse
me
these
were
some
of
the
budgets
where
there
were
significant
vacancy
savings
being
generated
in
the
first
year
of
the
biennium
to
achieve
budgetary
savings.
So
are
these?
Are
these
all
positions
that
were
contingently
restored
last
week?
H
Yes,
senator
you're
correct.
Do
I
see
that,
somewhere
in
the
in
the
closing
packet.
C
It
is,
it
is
noted,
as
an
additional
information,
no
action
necessary
in
each
of
these
budgets.
In
this
case,
it's
on
page.
H
32.
is
there
a,
but
is
that
a
adjust
in
any
sort
of
significant
way?
The
staffing
ratios
of
these
facilities
that
are
sort
of
important
for
for
pre
considerations
or
anything
else
that
we
usually
talk
about
these
budget
closes.
C
Thank
you
for
the
question
senator
keegan
for
based
on
staff's
understanding
of
the
statewide
motion
taken
last
thursday.
These
positions
would
be
restored
with
federal
funds
beginning
in
october
of
this
fiscal
and
excuse
me,
in
fiscal
year,
22
of
this
calendar
year.
The
governor
recommended
budget,
as
submitted
to
the
legislature,
included
the
restoration
of
capacity
to
the
levels
approved
by
the
2019
legislature,
which
is
112
at
caliente
48
at
summit
view
and
64
at
nevada.
C
H
Yeah,
it
does
I'm
sure
I
guess
I'm
concerned
that
with.
H
That
were
made
to
the
for
the
positions
in
these
accounts
back
to
legislatively
approved
levels
from
last
session,
based
on
coupled
with
the
the
sort
of
suppressed
residency
counts
that
we've
seen
facilities
may
be
overstaffed.
H
It's
just
hard
to
know,
based
on
all
those
sort
of
factors,
so
just
just
a
concern
for
now
I'll
support
the
pledges
moving
forward,
but
I
may
have
more
to
say
about
it
during
full
closing.
A
I
appreciate
the
minor
questioning,
senator
and
the
ability
to
to
have
that
line
of
questioning
on
each
of
these
budgets.
I
think
it
makes
sense.
A
So
it's
a
little
hard
to
know
I
agree,
but
for
now
I
would
err
on
the
side
of
having
the
full
positions
and
then,
if
there's,
if
we
learn
more
before
we
all
get
to
go
home,
then
you
know
good
conversation
to
have.
But
I
feel
I
feel
like
this
is
the
right
right
motion
at
this
time.
Well,
actually,
it's
a
no
action
necessary,
but
I
appreciate
your
your
line
of
questioning
any
other
questions
or
comments
on
this
one.
A
Okay,
assemblywoman
monroe,
moreno.
G
A
D
D
D
D
C
Moving
on
to
budget
account,
3179
is
the
caliente
youth
center.
This
sounds
very
familiar
to
the
prior
budget.
Disapproved
there
are
no
major
closing
issues.
There
is
a
single
other
item
on
page
34,
including
agency,
specific
inflation,
fiscal
staff
has
no
concerns
pistol.
Staff
recommends
the
other.
Closing
item
be
closed,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
and
request
authority
to
make
other
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
A
D
D
D
C
D
C
G
D
D
B
D
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
That
concludes
the
discussion
of
the
juvenile
facilities.
Moving
on
to
the
northern
nevada,
child
and
adolescent
services
budget
account
3281
I'll
start
on
page
38
of
your
closing
packet.
There
is
a
single
major
closing
issue
that
is
being
recommended
by
fiscal
staff
and
was
not
was
not
previously
heard
by
the
subcommittee
at
the
february
10th
hearing
this
major
closing
issue
impacts:
five
budgets:
the
three
juvenile
facilities
just
discussed
summit
view
caliente
and
nevada
youth
training
center.
A
D
C
Budgets
just
discussed
contain
a
general
operating
expenditure
category
that
includes
standard
business,
operating
expenditures
like
building
rent
operating
supplies
and
printer
leases.
This
general
expenditure
category
also
includes
for
these
five
budgets
operating
expenditures
directly
related
to
youth,
served
that
that
can
be
referred
to
as
youth
driven
expenditures
such
as
food
costs
for
residential
programs,
mental
health
provider,
contractual
expenditures
and
laundry
services.
C
D
D
A
C
C
Occupancy
of
facilities
is
difficult
to
predict
one
example
that
comes
up
frequently
during
adjusted
base
review
and
the
closing
process
is
a
discussion
of
projecting
food
expenditures
for
youth,
as
as
came
up
this
session.
It
is
these.
These
facilities
are
budgeted
at
a
maximum
capacity
and
there's
an
argument
to
be
made
that
the
agencies
have
an
obligation
to
ensure
they're
able
to
provide
food
and
ancillary
services
to
all
youth
at
a
maximum
expenditure
based
on
the
occupancy
and
the
budgeted
capacity
of
the
facility.
C
However,
as
as
often
happens,
the
actual
utilization
of
the
facility
is
something
less
than
the
budgeted
maximum
of
the
facility
in
instances
such
as
this,
the
agency
would
be
allowed
to
take
excess,
budgeted
capacity
from
food
laundry
services,
contractual
expenditures
and
spend
them
instead
on
standard
business,
operating
expenditures.
D
C
And
while
it's
important
to
note
there,
there
is
nothing
wrong
with
this
approach,
the
subcommittee
may
consider
instructing
the
agencies
to
build
their
budgets
in
a
way
that
differentiates
and
makes
more
clear.
The
separation
between
youth,
driven
expenditures
and
standard
operating
business
expenditures
in
this
example
were
additional
general
fund
savings
realized
at
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year
for
food
or
youth
driven
expenditures.
C
Those
in
the
case
of
a
special
use
category
could
be
reverted
to
the
general
fund
and
reallocated
through
our
standard
budget
process.
However,
in
the
case
where
an
agency
realized
an
expenditure
surplus
in
a
revenue
surplus
in
this
special
use
category
and
an
expenditure
shortfall
in
the
standard
business
operating
expenditure
category
there.
B
C
Interim
finance
committee:
this
is
an
option
that
if
the
subcommittee
wishes
to
consider,
may
increase
transparency
and
accountability
for
these
two
expenditure
categories,
while
maintaining
a
level
of
legislative
oversight
through
both
the
budget
process
and
the
interim
finance
committee.
Again,
this.
D
C
Impact
five
budgets
there
is
no
budget
action.
However,
the
motion
recommended
at
the
bottom
of
page
38
reads:
the
subcommittee
may
wish
to
recommend
a
letter
of
intent,
instructing
the
division
of
child
and
family
services
to
begin
tracking
youth,
driven
expenditures,
separate
from
standard
business,
operating
expenditures
and
build
the
northern
nevada
child
adolescent
services,
the
southern
nevada,
child
and
adolescent
services
and.
B
A
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
It
would
be
my
motion
that
we
produced
a
letter
of
intent,
instructing
the
dcfs
to
begin
tracking
youth,
driven
expenditures,
separate
from
standard
business
operating
expenditures
and
build
the
northern
nevada,
child
and
adolescent
services
and
southern
nevada,
child
and
adolescent
services,
along
with
the
three
state-operated
juvenile
justice
facilities
for
2023-2025
biennium
budgets,
with
separate
youth-driven
expenditure
categories.
A
D
D
D
B
C
B
G
D
D
D
H
C
Thank
you,
chair
ready.
That
concludes
the
northern
nevada
child
adolescent
services
budget.
Moving
on
to
the
final
major
issue
in
your
closing
packet
this
morning
is
the
southern
nevada,
child
adolescent
services
budget,
beginning
on
page
41
and
I'll
begin
conversation
at
page
42
with
the
governor
recommended
closure
of
the
east
neighborhood
service
center
budget
reduction.
C
During
the
subcommittee
hearing,
members
of
the
subcommittee
presented
some
concerns
about
the
level
of
service
provided
to
individuals
receiving
services
through
division
of
child
and
family
services.
The
agency
responded
during
that
hearing
and
provided
follow-up
information.
That
indicated,
there
are
no
proposed
reductions
to
positions
or
services
and.
B
A
E
C
E
E
I
feel,
as
a
representative
of
the
east
side
of
las
vegas,
that
a
number
of
times
we
get
ignored
for
the
needs
that
we
need
that
are
out
there
and
it's
a
bit
ironic
that
they
consider
4180
south
pecos,
the
east
side.
It
really
isn't
so
I'll
I'll
be
supporting
this
today,
but
I
just
felt
that
it
wouldn't
be
appropriate.
It
wouldn't
be.
E
I
wouldn't
be
doing
my
job
if
I
wasn't
sticking
up
for
the
folks
on
the
east
side
that
are
now
going
to
have
to
travel
out
to
warm
springs,
west,
craig
and
west
charleston
to
meet
their
needs,
but,
as
I
said,
I'll
support
it,
but
I'm
going
to
remember
it.
Thank
you
very
much.
F
Thompson,
I
thank
you
so
much
so
just
knowing
that
we're
kind
of
going
from
a
change
in
structure.
I
know
the
division
talks
about
using
a
a
new
model.
It
says
they
state
to
mirror
existing
service
models
where
their
personnel
operate
within
the
community,
and
so
I'm
just
assuming
that
that
means
that
they
traveled
to
the
client's
home
versus
having
the
client
come
to
central
office
and
it
looks
kind
of
more
like
and
the
providing
these
services
it
more
like
client
home
base.
F
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that
was
gonna.
My
understanding
of
how
that
new
service
model
would
look
like.
C
Similar,
it
is
thompson,
that's
staff's
understanding,
as
well,
based
on
information
provided
by
the
agency.
Dcfs
intends
for
staff
to
spend
a
portion
of
their
time
in
the
community.
Whether
that
is
is
at
home
or
specific
locations
is
unclear.
However,
the
intent
was
clear
to
meet
clients
and
those
receiving
services
through
this
budget
account
where
they
live,
work
go
to
church
within
their
community
and
partnering
with
community
service
providers,
and
I
believe
the
quote
that
was
used
is
meeting
children
and
families
in
their
own
spaces.
F
Think
it
might
be
helpful
for
the
legislative
record
just
so
that
we
have
kind
of
a
clear
statement
on.
I
mean
it's
a
model
shift
that
is
happening
in
a
budget
hearing,
so
it's
not
like
there's
been
a
policy
hearing
on
it,
so
I
think
at
least
a
one,
a
couple
of
lines
about
what
this
will
look
like,
so
we
have
it
just
in
a
legislative
record.
Living
somewhere
would
be
is
good.
D
Good
morning,
yes,
madam
chair,
this
is
ross
armstrong,
administrator
for
the
division
of
child
and
family
services
and
yes,
the
the
intention
is
to
go
out
into
the
community
where
the
the
children
and
families
are
not
necessarily
home
based.
But
you
know,
we've
seen
a
lot
of
success
with
our
friends
over
at
the
department
or
the
division
of
welfare
and
supportive
services
in
terms
of
finding
out
where
that
that
need
is
and
and
having
staff
there,
where
they
can
be
the
most
helpful.
D
D
F
F
There
would
be
lots
of
notice
to
the
school
that
it's
attached
to
to
say,
hey
we're
going
to
have
someone
here
from
the
division
from
three
to
five
to
help
you
or
would
it
be
a
more
like
we're
going
to
be
providing
these
services
at
frc
for
a
certain
period
of
time
and
then
you're
kind
of
just
have
those
community
members
like
on
a
rotation.
D
Ross
armstrong
again
for
the
record
so,
but
you
know
the
population
that
the
division
serves
is
typically
the
higher
level
of
need
and
then
the
uninsured
as
community-based
mental
health
resources
for
children
expand,
and
we
continue
to
try
to
make
sure
those
expand.
It
would
be
really
figuring
out
okay.
D
So
if
a
community
provider
has
basic
community-based
mental
health
services
throughout
the
week,
is
there
a
day
that
we
can
come
and
be
there
on
a
regular
basis
and
have
a
presence
for
those
children
and
families
that
may
there
may
be
signs?
They
need
a
higher
level
of
care,
more
intensive
service.
The
division
provides.
So
the
idea
is
to
be
as
nimble
as
possible
to
meet
the
the
need
in
the
community.
F
I
I
appreciate
that
I
appreciate
you
putting
that
on
the
record,
mr
armstrong,
that
we
would
see
more
like,
as
I
see
it,
kind
of
the
group
of
family
therapies
in
different
locations
being
offered
so
you'd,
be
you
know,
helping
utilize,
I
guess
kind
of
we'll
say
co-locating,
but
just
utilizing
existing
space.
That's
out
there
for
these.
I
know
that
population
you're
talking
about
so
that's
why
I
was
trying
to
imagine
him
in
my
mind,
for
you
know,
kind
of
our
severely
emotional,
disturbed
children
or
our
kids,
who
do
need
these
mental
health
services.
E
Yes,
madam
chair,
since
mr
armstrong
was
called
up
I'd
just
like
him
to
answer
how
he's
going
to
provide
services
to
the
folks
on
the
east
side
and
not
just
a
general
we're
going
to
put
people
in
the
community
I'd
like
some
specifics.
Please.
D
This
is
administrator
armstrong,
so
we
don't
have
specifics
in
terms
of
agencies
that
we
have
already
confirmed
partnerships
with,
but
at
during
your
comments,
I
turned
to
deputy
tucsy
who's
in
charge
of
that
program
and
said
that
we
would
definitely
reach
out
to
you
for
brainstorming
on
the
best
places
and
community
partners
for
us
to
reach
out.
E
To
thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
have
nothing
that
I
can
say
on
the
record
that
would
be
appropriate
at
this
time.
Okay,.
A
We'll
look
for
some
follow-up
information
on
this
particular
item,
any
other
comments
or
questions.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
move
that
the
subcommittee
go
with
the
recommendation
for
the
termination
of
the
lease
associated
with
the
south
paco
service
center
location
in
las
vegas,
resulting
in
savings
of
521
992
and
which
370
779
as
general
funds
over
the
2021-2023,
biennium

concludes
all
of
the
major

issue
budgets.
At
this
point,
the

all

the

will
be
