A
Wonderful.
Thank
you.
I
would
like
to
call
this
meeting
to
order
on
the
combined
senate
committee
on
finance
and
assembly
ways
of
me
subcommittee
on
public
safety,
natural
resources
and
transportation.

A
And
chair
miller
here
and
as
I
mentioned
before,
we
have
members
that
will
be
coming
in
and
out
they're
actually
presenting
bills
in
other
committees
right
now.
We
we
know
that
this
is,
you
know,
part
of
the
norm,
and
so,
as
they
arrive,
can
you
please
mark
them
present?
Of
course.
A
Thank
you
so
much
with
that
again,
just
a
few
reminders
that
asking
everyone
to
make
sure
that
their
telephone
electronics
are
muted,
also
that
anyone
that
would
like
to
make
any
kind
of
public
comment
or
anything
today
that
you're
able
to
register
online
through
the
agenda
when
the
agenda's
posted
get
that
registration
number
and
the
id
that
you
need
in
order
to
participate.
A
That
way
today
we
are
hearing
a
few
different
budgets,
we'll
be
hearing
from
the
department
of
corrections,
and
we
have,
I
believe,
director,
daniels
and
inspector
general
jones
with
us
who
will
be
presenting.
A
So
with
that
generally,
what
we
like
to
do
is
go
budget
through
budget
and
and
stop
intermediately
to
actually
so
that
members
can
ask
questions.
So
does
that
for
you.
A
Okay,
excellent,
so
we
are
there,
you
all
are
okay,
so
we
are
ready
whenever
you're
ready.
G
As
of
march
1
2021
ndoc
has
an
offender
population
of
10
894..
This
number
excludes
pending
transfers
from
local
jurisdictions.
In
the
oc
I
presented
the
state
with
budget
record
reductions
exceeding
the
minimum
requested.
We've
also
defended
our
strategies
with
the
sentencing
commission,
aclu
and
federal
courts.
G
We
do
happen
to
struggle
with
staffing
in
rural
areas,
despite
retention
and
recruitment
efforts
and
we've
also
developed
an
agency
mission
statement,
vision,
goals
and
core
values,
but
they
focus
on
the
governor's
mission
to
include
public
safety
staff,
safety
and
offender
safety
next
slide.
Please.
G
Please
allow
me
to
introduce
you
to
my
executive
team
from
left
to
right.
We
have
our
acting
deputy
director
of
support
services
inspector
general
james
jones.
We
have
deputy
director
of
prison
industry,
william
koenga,
who
also
serves
as
our
public
information
officer.
We
have
deputy
director
of
programs,
harold
wickham
who's
up
north
with
me
today.
G
We
also
have
deputy
director
of
operations,
brian
williams,
who's.
Also,
here
with
me,
we
also
have
medical
director,
dr
michael
minev,
he's
down
in
our
southern
office
today
and
then
to
bring
it
home.
We
have
christina
leathers
and
she
serves
as
their
chief
of
human
chief
of
human
resources.
G
Today,
my
team
and
I
will
be
covering
our
mission
and
vision,
goals,
major
issues,
population
trends,
capacity
and
housing,
the
governor's
recommended
budget,
medical
and
president
industries
and
then
budget
accounts
3710,
which
are
the
director's
office
budget
accounts
3751,
which
includes
ely
state
prison,
and
then
the
budget
account
3747,
which
is
healey
conservation
camps.
G
What
you
have
before
you
say
the
exact
language
in
our
mission
statement
as
opposed
to
reading
it.
I
will
just
tell
you
the
key
points.
We
firmly
believe
we
are
mandated
to
operate
consistently
with
the
eighth
amendment
that's
listed
in
the
u.s
constitution,
which
also
talks
about
safe
and
human
conditions
for
inmates.
G
We
know
that
we
must
prepare
inmates
for
their
eventual
re-entry
back
in
this
society
by
the
time
of
an
inmate
gets
to
us.
They've
gone
through
the
enforcement
end
of
our
criminal
justice
system.
They've
also
gone
through
the
prosecutorial
piece,
as
well
as
the
judicial
piece.
However,
once
an
inmate
is
with
us
on
the
imprisonment
side
we
go
above
and
beyond
and
try
to
identify
what
their
needs
are.
What
issues
are
if
they
have
any
addiction
issues
or
any
mental
health
issues?
G
We
try
to
really
identify
the
issues
that
genuinely
impact
an
inmate
and
then
put
that
inmate
on
a
plan
to
be
able
to
help
him
or
her
move
forward
with
the
education
or
vocational
training
or
any
other
type
of
training
that
will
lead
to
them,
as
once
they
leave
our
confines
that
there's
a
high
probability,
not
a
not
a
likelihood
that
they
will
not
recidivate.
G
We
believe
that
our
upcoming
programs
in
the
future
will
help
us
meet
those
needs
and
we're
looking
at
moving
forward
with
our
partnerships
with
the
private
sector
as
well
as
labor
unions
and
so
on.
We
really
want
to
under.
G
Also,
I
believe
it's
the
next.
Our
goal,
of
course,
is
the
probability
as
opposed
to
the
possibility
of
success.
The
next
slide,
please.
H
G
This
is
a
collaborative
effort
from
modeling
behavior
to
understanding
our
laws
and
how
we
deal
with
our
inmates
and
offender
population
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it's
about
ensuring
that
we
treat
them
with
dignity
and
respect
and
do
not
abuse
our
authority
to
make
the
life
for
these
inmates
better
and
to
continue
to
move
forward
with
having
an
impact
in
our
community
next
next
slide.
Please.
E
G
Are
definitely
going
to
continue
with
our
professional
development,
we're
going
to
certainly
spend
a
lot
of
time
and
effort,
improving
our
vocational
training
and
all
of
our
re-entry
efforts.
We
believe
that
we
do
this
well
and
we
can
do
much
better
and
we're
changing
the
landscape
and
we
want
to
serve
as
the
model
for
the
us
and
corrections
in
terms
of
preparing
our
individuals,
our
inmates
for
their
reentry
back
in
the
society.
I
Good
morning,
chair
miller,
distinguished
committee,
it's
a
privilege
to
be
here
for
the
record.
My
name
is
harold
wickham,
I
am
the
deputy
director
of
programs
and
I
have
the
distinct
role
of
supervising
our
re-entry
organization,
our
division,
which
works
in
collaboration
with
our
community
partners
to
return
offenders
successfully
to
the
community.
I
also
cover
the
education
substance,
abuse,
mental
health
and
offender
management,
divisions
and
we'll
be
talking
about
that
in
future
budget
presentations,
but
just
wanted
to
give
you
that
introduction.
I
We've
had
two
major
events
in
2019
that
dramatically
decreased
our
admissions
and
obviously
that
was
a
reduction
in
the
admissions
as
well
as
ab-236,
and
the
big
question
here
seems
to
be:
how
long
will
it
take
for
kobe
19
impacts
to
correct
itself?
Well,
obviously,
we
can't
answer
that
just
yet,
but
we
are
monitoring
it
as
well
as
the
jfa
are
monitoring
next
slide.
Please
and
you'll
see
on
this
slide
are
male
population
trends.
I
The
red
line
indicates
the
ledge-approved
projection
forecast
and
then
you'll
see
our
actual
forecast,
which
was
a
significant
decline
in
the
male
population
and
you'll,
see
the
difference
between
that
and
the
governor's
recommended
forecast
as
well
next
slide
and
in
the
next
slide.
I
You'll
see
the
same
trend,
basically
on
our
female
population,
just
a
a
large
reduction
in
the
amount
of
admissions
and
then
to
kind
of
clarify
that
next
slide
you'll
see
on
the
mail
admissions
and
releases
you'll
see
that
in
2019
we
had
755
more
releases
than
admissions
well
and
then
in
2020
you'll
see
how
that
increased
to
1084
more
releases
than
admission.
I
So
our
population
obviously
is
trending
downward
and
then
the
last
slide
on
that
will
be
the
email
admission
and
releases
again
in
2019
you'll
see
a
significant
difference
from
2020,
where
we
had
242
more
releases
than
admissions.
I
To
ask
our
statistician,
jennifer
corsi
bonacorsi,
to
cover
the
next
two
slides,
which
will
be
case,
load,
adjustment
and
capacity
and
housing.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
E
Good
morning,
for
the
record,
my
name
is
jenna
bonacorsi
and
I
am
a
statistician
with
the
nevada
department
of
corrections
in
regard
to
caseload
adjustments,
you
will
see
that
the
legislative
approved
budget
for
fiscal
year
2021
shows
an
8.3
increase
when
compared
to
the
actual
fiscal
year
for
2020..
E
Now,
when
you
look
at
the
governor
recommends
fiscal
year,
2022
and
fiscal
year,
2023
you'll
see
that
we're
actually
predicting
a
percent
increase
that
the
8.3
percent
increase
is
important
to
know
that
this
projection
was
finalized
in
2019
in
a
pre-covered
world.
So
far
for
the
first
six
months
of
fiscal
year
2021.
E
So
as
of
december
2020,
the
nboc
has
an
average
inmate
population
of
11
309
for
fiscal
year,
so
this
will
show
a
more
accurate
representation
of
where
our
population
is
heading
for
the
close
of
this
fiscal
year.
Next
slide,
please
in
terms
of
capacity
and
housing,
there
were
a
couple
major
changes
that
took
place
first,
being
the
return
of
out-of-state
inmates
from
arizona
in
november
of
2020
and
the
second
being
that
the
common
theme
throughout
this
projection
presentation
is
the
effects
of
covet
19..
E
It
has
presented
a
different
scenario
than
last
session.
What
you
see
on
the
screen
here
is
the
projected
male
population
and
female
populations,
and
the
governor
recommends
phase
for
2023
june,
broken
down
by
custody
level.
To
give
you
an
idea
of
the
projected
custody
to
come.

J
J
The
activity
budget
tracks
performance
measures
used
to
measure
the
essential
functions
with
which
the
agency
is
funded.
As
the
parch,
as
the
part
pie
chart,
indicates
the
largest
performance
measure
for
the
nevada
department
of
corrections
is
related
to
our
medium,
close
and
maximum
security
inmates.
The
performance
measure
includes
maintaining
the
staff
and
offender
safety
within
the
institutions.
J
The
next
major
initiative
would
be
the
e
filing
for
law,
library
and
the
next
major
budget
initiatives
for
law,
library
e-filing,
which
is
a
court
mandate.
This
request
funds,
two
administrative
assistants
at
southern
desert,
correctional
center
in
florence,
folklore
and
women's
correctional
center
to
comply
with
the
court
mandate
for
civil
and
habeas
corpus
e
filing,
as
was
previously
approved
in
the
prior
legislative
sessions.
The
budget
initiative
is
funded
with
inmate
welfare
funds
for
201
587.
J
Another
major
budget
initiative
is
the
continuation
of
rural
pay
for
staff
at
ely
state
prison,
elite
conservation
camp.
As
a
background,
the
2019
legislature
approved
a
5
rural
pay,
increase
for
all
custody
positions
to
include
lieutenants,
sergeants
senior,
correctional
officers
and
correctional
officers
at
ely,
state
prison
and
healey
conservation
camp.
This
request
continues
that
funding
was
approximately
624
thousand
dollars
in
general
fund
appropriations.
J
First,
one
is
upgrading
to
notice
next-gen.
The
governor
is
recommending
2.2
in
general
fund
appropriations
to
update
the
nevada
offender
tracking
information
system,
also
known
as
nodus.
The
current
system
uses
hardware
and
software
that
will
soon
be
unsupported,
which
could
pose
a
security
risk
and
put
our
production
systems
out
of
compliance.
If
we
choose
to
stay
on
unsupported
versions
of
oracle,
we'll
be
required
to
pay
additional
extended
support.
J
Ndoc
is
a
key
contributor
of
overall
criminal
of
the
overall
criminal
justice
system
of
nevada.
The
current
nevada
tracking
information
system
are
notices
utilized
by
numerous
law
enforcement
and
court
agencies
within
nevada,
as
well
as
the
department
of
public
safety.
The
attorney
general
parole
board
national
crime
information
system
and
the
federal
bureau
of
investigations,
our.
J
In
fiscal
year,
1819
ndoc
received
10
money
to
upgrade
our
production,
databases
and
application
servers
to
oracle
12.,
as
we
were
way
behind
on
upgrades
with
our
version,
and
it
was
going
out
of
support
the
move
to
next.
The
next
generation
of
notice
safeguards
against
technological
obsolescence,
allowing
the
agency
to
utilize
the
most
current
and
up-to-date
technology
technology
available.
J
Ndoc
will
continue
to
evaluate
and
invest
in
novus,
which
is
continuously
evolving
product,
which,
on
occasion
were
forced
to
upgrade
similar
to
windows
upgrades
there
will
be
security
risks
due
to
the
inability
to
upgrade
the
oracle
database.
The
parole
board,
parole
and
probation
and
approximately
20
interfaces
will
be
vulnerable
as
well.
Upgrading
to
cisco's
next-gen
product
will
also
allow
us
to
depreciate
our
current
nodus
lab
reporting
module,
which
is
based
on
outdated
html
packaged
generate
page
generation
using
pl
sql
technology.
J
This
is
currently
desupported
in
its
own
shape
and
form
to
overcome
this.
We
have
to
tweak
the
database
project
objects
so
that
it's
supported
while
taking
the
performance
hit
supportive
notice
web
is
labor
intensive
and
duplicate
for
the
purposes
of
allowing
department
staff
to
output
data
into
excel
and
perform
it
performing
some
data
entry
outside
of
the
notice.
E
J
J
The
senate's
calculations
required
by
the
nevada,
revised
statute
and
was
built
in-house
with
java
technology
that
we
unfortunately
cannot
support.
The
reintegration
will
allow
cisco
to
provide
this.
The
support
cisco
is
our
vendor
for
the
node
system.
Osm
is
our
department's
mission.
Critical
application
that
uses
sentence
calculation
features
that
automates
to
a
limited
extent
the
calculation
and
adjustment
of
important
dates
associated
with
an
offender's
sentence.
Osm
has
many
limitations
and
is
proven
to
require
the
utilization
of
both
internal
and
external
resources.
J
E
J
Being
the
unavailable
system
during
the
calculation,
which
is
averaging
20
hours
per
run,
when
ndoc
originally
purchased
the
offender
management
system
in
2005,
it
paid
for
a
license
and
implemented
a
module
software
program
that
provided
sense
calculations
in
account
counting
functionality
by
implementing
the
sentence,
calculation
and
accounting
features
within
notice.
This
ensures
consistency
in
the
administration
of
all
offender
sentences
within
the
state.
J
Furthermore,
with
osm
tightly
embedded
with
the
notice,
our
system
can
be
proactive
in
driving
senate's
dependent
business
process.
For
example,
when
an
offender
sentence
wait
status,
changes
that
trigger
can
be
developed.
That
automatically
sends
a
message
to
our
classification
personnel
identifying
that
a
reclassification
is
required.
J
The
next
one
shot
is
for
surveillance,
cameras
and
storage
aerial
networks,
known
as
sans
this
request
funds,
the
continuation
of
critical
camera
systems
department
wide
and
replaces
storage
area
networks
department
wide.
The
storage
area
networks
provide
data
backup
for
services
for
critical
software
development.
All
these
items
are
past
their
useful
life.
This
will
be
funded
with
roughly
247
000
of
general
fund
appropriation.
J
J
J
With
the
advent
of
the
coca-19
vaccine,
the
nevada
department
of
corrections
is
currently
prioritizing
vaccination
efforts
for
all
eligible
staff
members.
Given
that
staff
members
are
constantly
interfacing
with
their
communities,
they
are
most
likely
to
spread
the
kode
19
virus
to
other
staff
and
to
susceptible
offenders.
J
J
The
close
collaboration
of
ndoc
prison
industries
with
local
health
authorities
has
yielded
personal
protective
equipment
for
all
ndoc
staff
and
inmates.
The
acquisition
of
the
bionx
now
rapid
code,
the
19
test
kits,
has
allowed
ely
state
prison
to
more
effectively
identify
infected
staff
and
inmates
in
a
timely
manner.

Good
morning,

Thank
you
old
passes
over
to
assistant
direct
deputy
director
jones.
A
Okay,
you
know
what
right
now
I
would
actually
like
to
stop
here,
so
that
we
can
start
asking
questions
on
the
department
of
corrections,
because
I
know
that
members
are
accumulating
a
lot
of
questions
right
now.
So
if
we
could
stop
here
and
just
the
way
that
our
materials
and
resources
are,
we
would
like
to
actually
start
at
the
very
beginning
if
that
works
for
for
everyone.
A
So
I
see
that
I.
I
would
like
to
ask
one
brief
question
just
to
sort
of
frame
this
for
us
all.
How
much
does
the
state
spend
per
inmate.
G
G
This
is
director
daniels
department
of
corrections,
deputy
director
williams.
G
You
have
the
latest
data
on
that.
What
we
want
to
do
is
we
can
actually
get
you
a
figure.
If
you
don't
mind,
can
we
get
that
to
you
momentarily.
A
Absolutely
absolutely,
and
are
you
saying
during
during
this
hearing,
you'll
be
able
to
have
it
or
after
the
hearing?
Okay,
so
then
we'll
we'll
move
on
to
the
next
questions.
First,
questions
will
be
coming
from
assemblyman
watts.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you
for
the
the
overview
to
this
point.
A
lot
of
information.
I
know
you
discussed
the
inmate
population
and
I
was
just
wondering
if
you
could
provide
some
additional
detail
on
the
factors
that
have
gone
into
declining
inmate
numbers
in
both
the
male
and
female
populations.
G
This
is
a
deputy.
This
is
director
daniels
and
I'll,
be
speaking
to
that,
then
we
have
subject
matter
experts
here
as
well.
Well,
right
now,
there's
been
a
confluence
of
of
many
issues
that
have
contributed
greatly
to
the
reduction
in
our
inmate
population.
G
Since
the
we
started,
mitigating
cobit,
19
procedures,
since
we
implemented
them,
the
the
state
was
impacted
greatly.
For
instance,
we
do
not
receive
as
many
individuals
from
the
local
county
jails
as
we
once
used
to,
nor
are
there
as
many
trials
and
many
of
the
individuals
who
would
have
normally
been
prosecuted.
G
They
in
turn
were
actually
given
tickets
and
they
will
be
their
issues,
will
be
addressed
a
little
bit
later
so
with
fewer
inmates
going
into
the
the
system
and
being
prosecuted
with
pure
prosecutions
and
with
all
the
other
things
that
have
impact
impacted,
the
state,
for
instance,
with
the
hotels
and
the
the
hotels
and
sets
being
closed
down
a
lot
of
the
places
to
eat
there.
G
Just
haven't
been
that
many
individuals
involved
in
the
criminal
justice
system,
from
a
prosecutor,
prosecutorial
and
or
a
an
enforcement
in
and
therefore,
of
course,
then
the
judiciary
doesn't
have
as
much
to
do.
Although
the
work
is
extraordinarily
important.
We
do
recognize,
though,
once
the
circumstance
change
provided.
There
are
no
additional
issues
related
to
changes
in
law
that
we
do
anticipate
that
there
will
be
an
increase
to
what
we
would
consider
to
be
normal
and
we
recognize
that
the
we
and
we
have
a.
G
We
believe
that
the
numbers
will
increase
and
that
we
also
believe
that
that
will
be
a
steady
increase
moving
forward.
But
right
now
we
can't
tell
you
all
the
reasons
why,
because
we're
a
new
chart
we're
in
new
territory
as
it
relates
to
cobit
19,
and
but
we
do
anticipate
that
the
jfa
estimates.
Those
are
the
people
that
work
with
us
on
on
population
data.
We
do
realize
that
at
some
point
in
time
the
tide
will
return
and
then
our
inmate
population
will
increase
supporting.
F
Thank
you
for
that,
and
then
could
you
just
speak
a
little
bit
more.
I
know
the
chair
asked
a
little
bit
about
the
inmate-based
cost,
but
what
have
been
the
fiscal
impacts
as
a
result
of
the
declining
population
in
comparison
to
what
was
legislatively
approved?
Has
there
yeah?
Could
you
just
speak
to
what
the
fiscal
impact
has
been
to
those
defining
populations.
J
F
J
F
Thank
you.
That
would
be
great
if
you
can
send
that
to
committee
staff
and
we
can
get
that
distributed
to
all
the
members.
Thank
you
for
the
questions.
Madam
chair.
A
C
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
I
want
to
kind
of
follow
up
on
that
on
the
fiscal
impact,
but
I
want
to
talk
about
the
physical
impact
of
transferring
inmates
from
ely
to
ph
and
how
the
what
the
impact
has
been
on
the
current
fiscal
year.
G
This
is
director
daniels.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
I
will
defer
this
to
our
subject
matter.
Experts.
J
Yes,
sir,
are
we
clarifying
moving
the
inmates
from
ely
conservation
camp
to
the
two
other
camps
that
they
were
moved
to.
J
Senator
dennis
yeah
there,
okay
again,
if
you
can
allow
me
to
just
a
moment,
I
can
probably
get
something
for
you
here
in
the
next
few
minutes.
C
Okay
and
while
you're
working
on
that
too
yeah,
I
wanna-
and
maybe
you
can
answer
this
while
while
you're
doing
that,
but
the
the
timeline
to
reopen
ely.
And
you
know
what
are
the
tasks
and
other
things
that
have
to
happen
for
that
to
to
to,
for
that
camp,
to
be
able
to
be
open.
J
Yes,
sir
james
jones,
for
the
record
and
staffing
levels
are
so
low
at
high
desert
state
or
ely
state
prison.
I
apologize
that
the
the
camp
was
closed.
On
july
8th.
Let
me
grab
my
notes.
Real
quick.
J
J
I
could
refer
this
over
to
warden
bill
gitter
or
I
can
semi
answer
your
questions
in
when
the
staffing
numbers
are
able
to
go
up
a
hilly
state
prison
where
they
can
safely
staff
our
maximum
state
prison.
C
Okay,
that's!
That's!
That's!
Fine!
That's
that's
what
I
was
looking
for.
So
what
what
can
you
discuss
a
little
bit
about
your
your
intent
to
reclassify
ely
state
prison
in
high
desert
prison.
L
Deputy
director
williams
over
the
past
year,
ndlc
has
had
challenges
to
has
been
challenged
to
identify
and
review
best
practices
for
our
department.
L
All
factors,
such
as
public
staff
and
offender
safety,
have
been
taken
into
consideration,
while
also
adhering
to
the
offenders
constitutional
rights.
Over
the
last
several
years,
starting
in
december
2017,
we
had
a
total
of
53
vacancies
in
july
of
2018
that
vacancy
their
vacancy
rate
increased
to
73
and
in
january
2019.
L
I
L
Elie
currently
has
available
to
them,
160
assigned
positions
that
are
filled,
they
have
62
vacant
positions
and
they
have
63
reassigned
and
unavailable
for
their
use.
At
this
time,
these
63
positions
have
been
reassigned
to
other
facilities
throughout
the
state
to
help
with
their
staffing
shortages.
This
gives
ealey
state
prison,
125
custody
below
their
total
authorized
staffing.
L
So
that's
part
of
the
reclassification
that
we're
looking
at,
and
I
would
also
ask
that
you
guys
be
understanding
to
the
sensitive
and
confidential
nature
of
this
proposal
as
we
move
forward
as
it
deals
with
staffing
and
the
movement
of
inmates,
elysee
prison,
current
staffing
289
for
max
we're,
looking
to
reduce
it
to
223
staff
for
a
medium
custody
facility
and
then.
B
L
C
And
include
you
know
you
might
have
to
do
some
capital
improvement
in
all
of
that,
so
I'm
just
wondering
that
whole
process
senator
dennis
for
the
record.
My
name
is
warden,
william
gitter
at
ely
state
prison,
madam
chairperson
and
distinguished
committee
members,
to
speak
to
your
question,
senator
essentially
by
changing
our
mission
or
our
classification
from
maximum
to
medium.
C
We
reduce
the
number
of
custody
staff
that
are
required
to
safely
execute
that
mission
down
to
where
we
can
sustain
it.
For
instance,
with
the
media
mission,
our
total
authorized
staffing
would
be
223,
but
our
standard
staffing
required
to
actually
do
the
mission
to
for
sustained
operations
would
come
down
to
approximately
160..
C
I
have
160
officers
on
my
roster
right
now,
so,
instead
of
incurring
2.4
million
dollars
a
year
in
unfunded
overtime
to
staff
us
at
a
maximum
capacity
standard,
we
would
nearly
zero
out
our
overtime
for
vacancies
if
we
flipped
and
became
a
medium
security
prison
okay.
So
what
about
the
opposite,
though?
The
the
high
desert,
because
you're
going
the
other
way
out
in
high
desert
right
that
would
be
correct
and
deputy
director
williams.
You
might
be
better
to
speak
to
that.
L
C
L
Currently,
high
deputy
director
williams
for
the
record
currently
high
desert
is
a
medium
security
facility
and
it's
also
our
intake
facility
being
our
intake
facility
over
70
percent
of
our
inmates.
Come
from
the
clark
county
area,
two
high
deserts,
so
you're
talking
about
maximum
security,
inmate
death
row
inmates
already
coming
through
height
other
state
prison,
and
it's
also
unique
that
it
also
is
designed
with
a
security
of
an
electric
security
fence
around
that
facility.
So
it's
better
to
is
better
able
to
accommodate
a
higher
custody
level
at
high
density
state
prison.
So
we
don't.
L
C
L
And
we're
hoping
that,
with
the
increase
of
staffing
and
being
able
to
recruit
the
southern
nevada
area
in
the
las
vegas
area,
that
we
will
be
able
to
increase
our
staffing
to
help
with
the
overtime
that
high
def
you're,
currently
seeing
with
high
desert.
But.
L
E
C
All
right,
I
think
that
covered
what
I
needed.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
A
Thank
you
senator
I
just
so.
Everyone
knows
where
you
are
in
the
cube,
because
I
know
it's
a
little
difficult
to
to
to
feel
it
right
now,
virtually
I
have
go
to
assembly,
woman,
titus
and
then
senator
bill,
pacia,
okay
and
then
anyone
else
who
has
a
question
so
assemblywoman.
B
B
The
first
question
that
was
asked
by
assemblyman
watts
and
with
with
the
numbers
that
you
projected
and
the
about
ten
thousand
versus
twelve
thousand
inmates
right
now
and
the
cost
the
reasons
for
that
and
there's
a
multitude
of
reasons,
and
we
appreciate
you
answering
that,
but
perhaps
when
you
do
get
some
numbers,
you
can
do
us
a
comparison
of
where
we
are
per
population
compared
to
other
states.
B
I
think
that
that
would
be
a
good
thing
to
see.
Right
now
we
have
about
10
000
people,
and
we
have
about
3
million
people
in
our
state.
Is
that
a
national
average?
Where
do
we
fall
on
on
what
other
states
are
doing
and
how
many
of
folks
do
they
have
in
prison
and
have
been
prepared
to
give
us
those
figure
on
a
national
level?
Now
that
would
be
great.
If
not
all
would
be
good.
G
This
is
director
daniels
for
the
record.
We
will
be
more
than
happy
to
gather
that
information
for
you
and
we
will
follow
up
as
soon
as
possible.
B
Great,
thank
you
and
then
another
question,
madam
chair.
If
I
might,
I
am
curious
about
you
mentioned
that
on
the
prison
population
number
that
included
the
inmates
that
we
had
sent
out
of
state
to
arizona
that
had
been
brought
back
to
our
state,
her
legislation
that
we
passed
last
session
and
one
of
the
arguments
in
the
past
that
had
been
made
for
sending
those
inmates
out
of
state
was
for
their
own
security.
B
Maybe
they
had
a
particular
health
reason.
Maybe
they
belong
to
a
certain
gang
or
group
that
they
needed
to
be
separated
from
one
I'm
wondering:
if
do
you
have
any
statistics
on
those
inmates
specifically,
regarding?
Has
there
been
any
increasing
attacks
or
threats
in
their
lives?
Has
there
been
any
negative
consequences
to
those
inmates
or
bringing
them
back
to
the
state
that
you
know.
C
I
Go
ahead,
deputy
director
for
the
record:
this
is
deputy
director,
harold
wickham.
The
consequences
we've
seen
from
bringing
them
back
have
been
no
more
than
any
other
inmate
population,
but
it's
it's
been
relatively
new,
since
we've
brought
them
back
currently,
there's
no
significant
uptick
from
that
population
versus
any
other
population.
We
were
very
cognizant
of
the
of
bringing
them
back,
so
we
took
our
time
and
provided
the
appropriate
spaces
based
on
offender,
management's,
expertise
on
where
we
should
house
the
offenders
and
so
far
we're
having
a
pretty
good
success
with
it.
B
Very
good,
thank
you
for
that.
Obviously
they're.
They
are
our
responsibility
and
we
certainly
want
to
make
sure
that
we
keep
them
safe
and
and
then
finally,
one
last
question.
If
I
might
madam
chair,
you
briefly
mentioned
since
we
went
through
all
these
budgets
and
so
I'm
kind
of
jumping
around
myself
here.
One
of
the
questions.
B
The
comments
were
that
you
had,
I
believe,
seven
or
eight
hepatitis
c
inmates
that
I
think
in
ely
that
would
qualify
for
treatment
starting
april
of
this
year,
which
which
I
think
is
a
good
thing,
and
you
mentioned
it-
was
going
to
be
through
the
hopes
clinic
and
I'm
just
wondering
at
some
point.
Could
you
give
us
and
it's
not-
I
didn't
see
it
anywhere
else
in
the
presentation
or
anything
that
we
had
at
some
point.
Would
you
give
us
an
overview?
B
I'm
sure
you're
not
prepared
to
do
that
today.
Maybe
send
it
out
to
all
members
about
the
number
of
folks
that
you've
identified
in
that
category
to
be
treated
and
potential
costs
of
that
and
access
to
care,
as
we
had
discussions
in
the
past
from
a
healthcare
aspect
and
diagnostic
aspects,
but
just
maybe
give
us
an
update,
they
are
our
patients.
We
know
that
we're
responsible
for
them
or
our
inmates,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
everything
we
can
for
them
based
on
supreme
court
decisions,
etc.
B
So
I'd
like
a
follow-up
after
you
know
at
some
point
when
you
have
more
data
and
no
you're
not
prepared
to
do
that
today.
So
thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
the
moment
to
ask
the
question
and
looking
forward
to
more
information.
A
You're
welcome
and
assemblywoman
titus.
We
actually
will
have
them
in
depth
on
that
topic
on
in
a
few
weeks
when
the
department
of
corrections
comes
again.
So
thank
you
for
that,
because
I
think
that
prepares
them
for
some
information
that
we'll
be
looking
forward
to
okay.
B
G
A
Yes,
can
we
just
hold
on
one
moment
just
so
senator
gokuchiya
can
get
his
questions
in
and
then
okay
and
then
we're
eager
to
hear
your
responses.
Senator
please.
K
Share
miller
and
I'll
probably
expand
your
list
just
a
little
bit
director
daniels.
As
I
go
with
my
questions,
I
I
am
really
very
interested
in
the
fact
that
we
are
still
looking
at
reclassifying
ely
state
prison
in
high
desert.
I
I
think
it's
critical
to
make
it
work,
as,
as
our
numbers
reflect
the
maxi.
Neely
is
just
over
50
percent
of
capacity.
We
know
that
staff
driven
just
because
we
can't
put
the
staff
in
place
and
the
subsequent
impact
of
that
is
the
fact
that
the
ely
conservation
camp
is
is
closed.
K
We've
got
a
lot
of
resource
work
that
has
been
contracted
for
clearly
will
be
paid
for
in
many
cases
by
the
federal
government.
If
it's
a
wildland
fire
interface
fuel
reduction.
I
know
they
did
a
lot
of
these
projects
last
a
year
ago
and
that
fuel
load
is
still
on
the
ground
and
there's
never
been
actually
picked
up
cleaned
up,
and
I
realized
this
is
ndf
technology
contracts
for
it.
K
But
it
is
critical
now,
with
ph
and
wells
and
carlin,
trying
to
pick
up
the
slack
because
of
this
huge
void
created
by
the
closure
of
the
ely
camp.
K
A
lot
of
the
work
is
not
not
getting
done,
and
it
is
so
I'd
like
to
know
just
what
we're
looking
at
as
far
as
how
long
it'll
be
before.
We
know
whether
we're
going
to
reclassify
those
two
prison
systems,
and
otherwise
I'm
afraid,
if
we
don't
reclassify
it,
I
don't
know
the
ability
to
ever
really
staff.
The
ely
conservation
camp
can
happen.
I
For
the
record,
harold
wickham
deputy
director
of
programs
through
the
chair
to
the
honorable
senator
gokuchiya.
I
Thank
you
senator
just
just
for
information.
Just
yesterday
I
reached
out
with
the
ndf
casey
casey.
We
had
very
good
conversation
about
getting
these
camps
back
in
business.
We're
looking
at
making
some
some
significant
policy
change,
as
covid
starts
to
wane
off,
as
our
offenders
start
to
get
vaccinated.
I
We're
looking
at
changing
some
policy
that'll
make
it
a
lot
easier
for
the
ndf
to
bring
crews
out.
I
can't
speak
for
ndf
on
on
their
ability
to
provide
the
the
crews
based
on
their
staffing,
but
there
are
some
logistics.
We
still
have
to
work
out
as
far
as
with
ely
conservation
camp
being
closed,
we're
going
to
have
to
either
take
the
offenders
from
ph
or
find
a
way
to
use
minimums
out
of
ely
state
prison,
and
that's
that's
a
project
we're
currently
working
on
I've
talked
to
director
about
it.
Yesterday.
I
We're
also
easing
some
of
the
restrictions
for
the
carling
camp,
so
one
we
can
get
those
community
trustees
back
out
to
work,
but
again
it's
going
to
take
them
some
coordination
to
make
sure
that
we're
covid
compliant.
More
than
anything,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
if
we
send
the
offenders
out
to
work
that
they're,
safe
and
the
community
is
is
safe
as
well
in
regard
to
cobit.
I
So
that's
kind
of
been
our
big
hold
up,
but
I
can
assure
you:
we've
got
the
the
fire
stoked
to
get
these
offenders
back
out
to
work
as
quickly
as
possible
and,
like
I
said,
we're
working
with
the
department
of
nevada
department
of
forestry
to
get
these
out
there
just
as
quickly
as
possible.
As
far
as
a
date.
L
Want
to
clarify
deputy
director
wickham,
I
want
to
advise
him.
I
did
speak
to
casey
casey
as
well
after
she
spoke
to
him
and
I
did
send
a
memo
out
to
her
as
well
as
my
wardens
authorizing
the
use
of
the
camp
inmates
with
with
a
specific
protocol
as
to
when
they're
in
the
public.
L
I
also
discussed
that
with
our
medical
director,
so
that
will
start
it
should
have
started
yesterday,
probably
today,
but
I
know
it
will
be
in
effect
on
monday,
as
far
as
those
crews
going
back
out
and
doing
their
india,
fire
crew
and
their
mitigation
of
different
areas
throughout
the
state.
So
that
has
been
approved.
That
is
out-
and
everybody
has
been
made
aware.
G
And
this
is
director
daniels
in
addition
to
what
both
of
the
deputy
directors
stated,
I
just
want
to
state
publicly.
We
have
a
very
good
working
relationship
with
the
nevada
division
of
forestry
and
although
we've
had
a
very
difficult
time
with
the
spread
of
public
within
our
camp
populations,
we
have
always
availed
our
inmates
to
go
out
and
fight
fires,
and
we
know
that
there
has
been
some
concerns
as
to
well.
What
do
we
do
if
we
have
fires?
G
Our
goal
is
to
open
the
camp
as
soon
as
possible
at
ely,
but
right
now
our
staffing
is
so
low,
it's
critically
low
that
we
have
to
ensure
we
have
enough
resources
to
demand
the
higher
security
level
of
inmates,
as
our
staff
have
an
expectation
that
we
have
enough
staff
there
to
support
them.
In
the
event
we
have
some
challenging
situations.
K
Thank
you,
and
I
really
appreciate
that
and-
and
I
I
really
assure
you
it
is
about
the
safety
both
for
the
inmates,
as
well
as
our
officers
working
there,
but
it's
it's
also
a
revenue
side
of
it
again.
I
I
believe
most
of
these
contracts,
especially
if
it's
resource
work
even
outside
of
fire.
K
It
does
help
pay
some
of
the
bills,
and
so
you
know
I
I
think
it
is
beneficial
for
all
of
us,
including
the
inmates
to
you
know,
have
the
ability
to
go
out
in
and
work,
especially
if
you're
in
an
honor
camp
or
a
minimum
security.
So
I
appreciate
that.
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
again
just
it's
all
we're
all
trying
to
get
through
this
together
and
it's
been
a
very
trying
time.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
senator
director
daniels,
if
you'd
like
to
respond
with
those
with
the
responses
that
you
were
able
to
gather.
G
Yes,
madam
chair,
once
again,
deputy
I'm
sorry
director
daniels
for
the
record.
The
first
set
of
numbers
I'm
going
to
provide
you
are
the
inmate
cost.
Now
the
reason
that
we
had
to
go
gather
information,
there's
no
one
number,
because
it's
based
on
the
security
level.
Obviously
the
higher
security
level,
the
more
it
costs
to
keep
someone
safe
and
to
keep
be
able
to
monitor
them
in
a
manner
necessary.
You
know
and
it
matters
consistent
with
their
security
level.
G
So
as
it
relates
to
our
institutions,
our
overall
operating
costs
are
51
dollars
and
19
cents
per
day,
but
when
you
break
it
down,
there's
30
and
25
cents
for
remote
camps
for
non-remote
camps,
it's
22.11
for
transitional
housing,
it's
37.58,
and
so
the
overall
costs
are
roughly
47.49,
and
I
will
also
share
with
you
if
we
were
to
determine
what
our
costs
per
inmate
were
in
2019,
the
actual
cost
came
out
to
15
480
per
year
and
actual
in
2020
19926,
and
then
our
projections
can
continue
to
go
higher,
but
the
projections
were
based
on
data
that
was
gathered
prior
to
covert.
F
A
G
This
is
director
daniels.
I
do
believe
acting
deputy
director
jones
is
researching
that
information
and
I'm
not
sure
if
he'll
be
able
to
have
it
retrieved
during
this
meeting.
However,
in
the
event
we
aren't,
we
will
certainly
get
that
back
out
to
you
as
soon
as
possible.
A
Okay,
thank
you,
and
can
you
also
submit
to
us
what
you
just
explained
to
the
day
the
kind
of
the
prices
per
day
breakdown.
G
But
I
think
there's
a
side
note
that
everyone
should
be
aware
of,
as
it
relates
to
daily
cost
per
inmate.
There
are
a
couple
of
caveats,
so
our
daily
operations,
cost
of
incarceration
are
authorized
with
each
fiscal
year
budget
approved
by
the
nevada
legislature
in
each
legislative
session.
G
However,
they
do
not
include
medical,
administrative
or
programming
cost,
so
if
you
were
to
average
those
in,
of
course
it
would
be
higher,
but
so
I
just
want
to
ensure
everyone
is
aware,
and
we
can
even
submit
the
footnote
so
that
you
understand
this,
isn't
the
entire
picture,
some
of
the
things
that
we
actually
do-
services
we
provide
are
actually
unfunded
and
we
just
work
with
it.
The
best
we
can.
A
Okay,
thank
you
and
we
have
one
last
question
from
assemblywoman
tolls.
H
Okay,
thank
you
one
job,
okay,
thank
you,
so
so
just
one
question
in
general,
just
making
sure
that
I
understood
the
director
clearly
in
your
presentation,
you
mentioned
that
mental
health
and
substance
use
was
under
the
director
wickham
your
purview-
and
I
was
just
wondering-
is
that
also
in
collaboration
with
dr
minev
under
the
medical
director,
or
is
that
separate.
I
For
the
record,
this
is
deputy
director,
harold
wickham.
The
medical
side
is
definitely
not
under
programmed
that's
a
separate
budget,
but
of
mental
health
and
substance
abuse
those
fall
under
the
programs
division
which
again,
we
will
have
a
budget
hearing
coming
up
in
the
near
future.
On
those.
H
Wonderful
then
I'll
leave
it
for
that.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
heard
you
correctly
just
so
I
had
that
clear
in
my
mind
and
then
the
quick,
one-shot
appropriation
question
is
for
the
food
costs
according
to
the
court
mandate,
500
thousand
dollars.
I
I
know
of
particular
interest
to
some
of
our
inmates-
is
the
not
only
the
quality,
the
nutrition
and
so
forth,
but
also
the
availability
of
kosher
food,
and
I'm
wondering,
if
that's
included
in
that.
J
James
jones,
for
the
record,
the
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
my
understanding
is
to
cover
an
offset
of
over
spending
for
this
fiscal
year
due
to
the
supreme
court
ruling
or
to
update
our
nutritional
menu.
J
H
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
My
questions
are
related
to
the
task.
Centric
staffing
model.
Can
you
just
talk
about
the
impact
on
the
budget?
F
G
This
is
director
daniels
for
the
record
just
to
let
you
know,
though,
that
the
differences
in
the
two
types,
quite
frankly,
are
just
a
difference
in
our
ability
to
accomplish
all
the
tasks
that
are
required
of
a
corrections
agency
to
further
public
safety
staff,
safety
and
inmate
safety.
Having
said
that,
we
do
not
have
an
operational
plan
for
that.
We
do
that
has
not
been
approved,
and
so
therefore,
I
just
need
you
to
be
aware
that
that
is
not
something
we're
putting
into
effect
today
or
tomorrow.
G
It's
just
something
that
we
know
we
need
to
evolve
in
so.
E
G
Corrections
has
changed
exponentially
since
the
late
80s
and
for
whatever
reason
we
haven't
kept
up,
so
we
want
our
staff
to
be
able
to
do
more.
I
do
not
anticipate
an
increase
in
cost,
although
I
can't
make
that
statement,
because
I
haven't
done
all
of
the
research,
but
I
will
tell
you
this.
We
will
be
able
to
get
much
more
bang
for
the
buck
and
we'll
know
exactly
what
we
need
to
do.
G
One
of
the
things
that
I
will
tell
you
quite
frankly,
we
are
somewhat
remiss
in
is
in
dealing
with
the
criminal
element
within
our
prison
system.
Having
an
impact
on
the
citizens,
you
will
primarily
see
that
through
various
forms
of
extortion
and
so
on,
we
know
that
there
are
better
ways
to
do
it,
and
but
we
don't
have
the
staffing
to
accomplish
it.
But
if
we
post
individuals
that
we
put
a
science
staff
that
have
worked
to
multiple
tasks,
we
can
still
do
what
we
need
to
do
as
a
collector.
G
So
right
now
I
do
not
have
any
data
in
terms
of
number.
I
I
feel
very
comfortable
in
saying
that,
although
I
don't
have
those
numbers
that
there
will
not
be
a
huge
change
upward
or
downward,
it's
just
that
we're
able
to
utilize
our
staff
much
more
effectively
and
as
needed
and
so
on.
I
hope
that
answers
your
question.
F
Thank
you
for
the
clarification
that
does
answer
some
of
my
questions
around
where
you
are
within
that
transition
and
planning.
I
I
did
want
to
ask,
though,
for
can
you
just
give
us
a
brief
cut,
because
I
know
you
said
that
you
want
to
be
careful
about
how
you
talked
about
this
since
it's
not
approved
yet.
But
where
are
you
in
the
planning
process
for
that
move
from
post-centric
staffing
to
task
centric,
and
do
you
expect
that
to
be
something
that's
approved
and
finalized
within
the
next
biennium.
G
The
answer
is
unknown
because
I
can't
quite
frankly
determine
when
this
will
come
up
and
or
we
don't
even
have
concurrence
yet
from
the
governor's
office
and,
as
you
know,
we
work
for
the
executive
branch.
So
I
once
again
I
am
very
cautious
about
speaking
in
terms
of
times
only
because
we
don't
know,
but
I
will
tell
you
we're:
we've
looked
at
it,
we've
even
created
sample
rosters.
G
We
also
created
not
only
sample
rosters,
but
how
we
would
bid
them
and
how
a
staff
member
who
heretofore
right
now
would
be
assigned
to
one
post
one
area
or
eight
ten
or
twelve
hours
and
go
home
on
a
task
centric
model.
The
benefits
would
be
you
could,
at
certain
parts
of
the
day
you
will
assist
with
shaking
down
cells,
doing
cell
searches.
Another
part
of
the
day.
You
may
be
asked
to
do
some
escorting.
Another
part
of
your
day
will
be
training.
We
have.
G
We
will
utilize
field
training
officers
and
then
we'll
have
actual
lesson
plans
on
each
topic
that
we
can
go
in
and
follow
the
training
of
all
of
our
staff.
We
have
a
responsibility
for
professional
development
and
ensuring
we're
getting
the
best
bang
for
the
buck,
for
the
individuals
that
sign
on
and
work
for
us.
They
also
want
to
know
that
we
care
about
them
and
we
will
avail
them
too
many
opportunities
to
have
experiences
that
typically
under
the
current
model.
G
So
this
is
a
win-win
for
everyone,
but
there
is
a
large
piece
of
this
that
has
to
deal
with
our
ability
to
deal
with
offenders
that
are
still
violating
the
law.
So
if
you
were
to
look
at
things
such
as
human
trafficking,
distribution
of
narcotics,
it
doesn't
matter
whether
an
inmate's
incarcerated
or
out
on
the
streets,
they
can
still
do
it.
If
we
don't
in
fact
interdict
it
the
other
one,
of
course.
Well,
there
are
many.
I
could
actually
bring
up
and
I
don't.
G
G
We
have
to
do
a
better
job
and
I
think
we're
focused
on
it.
But
once
again
we
need
to
present
this
properly
and
let
those
folks
that
will
vet
how
much
it
will
cost
and
ask
the
tough
questions.
We
certainly
want
to
be
able
to
answer
those
tough
questions,
and
so
I'm
looking
forward
to
that
process,
but
I
arrived
in
december
of
19..
G
We
were
we're,
started
talking
about
covet
in
february
the
last
week
in
february,
and
by
may
we
were
in
full-fledged
protocol
mitigation.
So
a
lot
of
the
things
that
would
have
normally
been
inside
of
our
strategic
plan
we
didn't
get
to
because
the
rest
of
the
state
was
also
having
to
deal
with
the
same
struggles.
I
will
also
tell
you
we
had
issues
with
staffing
like
every
other
organization.
G
Our
staff
could
not
go
home,
they
couldn't
take
all
this
lead.
We
have
to
man
out
24
7.,
so
we
did
the
best
that
we
could
but
now
looking
forward.
It
is
something
that
I
look
very
forward
to
having
that
discussion
with
the
people
that
I
have
to
explain
the
process
he's
on.
I'm
looking
forward
to
that,
and
hopefully
we
will
be
successful
and
I
will
have
numbers
and
dates
for
you.
Moving
forward.
F
Thank
you.
I,
my
third
question
had
to
do
with
the
determination
of
staffing
levels
for
in
each
institution
and
facility
under
that
new
task,
centric
plan,
which
it
sounds
like
we
don't
have
even
estimates
at
this
point,
but
I
I
will
ask
that
you
follow
up
with
staff
on
just
where
the
status
of
that
is
at
tincher.
We
have
the
basic
background
information
to
move
forward
with
your
budget.
Thank
you,
chair.
A
And
thank
you
assemblywoman.
We
have
some
additional
questions
by
senator
brooks.
E
G
M
Since
joining
the
agency
in
december
of
2016,
it
has
been
my
understanding
that
the
agency
has
the
authority
to
reassign
the
pcns
and
we've
been
doing
so
under
with
the
permission
of
the
executive
budget
office,
as
well
as
the
director
and
deputy
director
of
support
services.
During
that
time.
As
far
as
the
history,
I
don't
know
how
far
back
it
goes.
E
M
G
E
E
Thank
you,
it
really
is
is
about
the,
and
I
think
you
touched
on
it
a
little
bit.
There
was
some
guidance
that
was
issued
and,
and
this
is
really
about
what
changes
the
department's
policies
in
regards
to
those
reassignments,
have
been
implemented
as
a
result
of
the
findings
from
the
the
internal
audit
report
that
was
completed
earlier
this
year,.
G
Yes,
this
is
director
daniels
for
the
record
again.
Currently,
we
quite
frankly,
right
now,
we
are
immersed
in
cobit,
19,
emergency
protocols
and
but,
as
time
goes
on,
we
obviously
look
at
all
of
the
recommendations
and
then,
as
we're
able
to,
we
will
implement
them.
Now,
when
you
look
at
some
of
the
issues
regarding
staffing
and
its
totality,
we
have
a
certain
amount
of
individuals
that
are
authorized
legislatively
to
be
assigned
to
each
individual,
each
individual
facility
or
institution.
G
All
of
that
is
seen
as
temporary,
and
it
is
always
our
goal
to
ensure
that
the
legislature
knows
exactly
where
those
positions
are
that
they
approve,
which
is
obviously
something
we
need
to
ensure
we
avail
them
to,
but
so
some
of
what
you're
asking
is
future
oriented,
but
if
there
are
recommendations
that
we
can
implement
and
there's
no
legal
reason
to
not
do
it
or
a
immoral
reason
to
do
something,
we
will
we
will
implement
the
new
procedures,
but
in
terms
of
timing
right
now,
as
with
all
the
other
agencies,
our
timing
is
skewed
and
I
do
not
want
to
offer
at
this
particular
time
a
timeline
when
I
know
that,
just
depending
on,
what's
going
on
with
cloven
clover19,
I
may
have
to
change
that
answer.
H
G
And
really
focusing
on
vaccinating
staff
and
then
in
addition
to
that
inmates,
as
we
move
forward.
E
Thank
you,
director
and,
and
if
I
may
follow
up,
I
I'll
just
ask
about
a
specific
example
about
the
correctional
officer
positions
from
the
ely
state
prison
that
were
reassigned
to
the
director's
office.
Just
what
job
duties
are
those
correctional
officers
performing
for
the
director's
office
right
now.
M
M
So
again
those
positions
are
our
central
transportation
report
is
budgeted
under
the
director's
budget,
so
those
pcns
are
used
to
help
with
transferring
of
inmates.
A
Thank
you
for
that.
Senator
any
final
questions
before
we
move
on
to
the
next
budget
for
the
director's
office.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
It
doesn't
look
like.
We
have
any
other
questions,
so
we
are
ready
to.
I
know
we
stopped
you
in
the
kind
of
midpoint
in
your
presentation,
but
we're
ready
to
pick
up
if
you're
ready
to
continue
with
the
director's
office.
E

J
J
Unit
e
two
two
eight
requests
funding
to
create
one
new
assistant
to
the
director.
This
request
is
for
an
unclassified

which
reduces
the
personnel

expenditures
by
eliminating
two
vacant
classified
positions,
one
personnel

decision
unit

is
requesting
funding
for
a
contract
to
provide
a
department-wide
staffing
study.
J
The
primary
goal
of
this
project
is
to
provide
the
nevada
department
of
corrections
with
a
comprehensive
objective
review
and
assessment
of
the
current
security
staffing
of
its
prisons.
This
will
enable
it
to
perform

uniform
manner
way.
Preserving
the
primary
mission
to
maximize

facility
security
and
staff
safety,
ensuring
the
staffing
levels
and
posts
are
consistent
with
the

mission
is
a
paramount
concern.
J
Institutional
culture
issues
and
the
philosophy
and
mission
of
the
department
analysis
will
be
performed
on
with
on-site
assessments
of

including
conducting
interviews
with
all
appropriate
staff
and
department
officials
for
viewing
data
records
and
procedural
manuals,
observing
operations
and
attending
meetings
as
necessary
to
fully
support
the
findings.
In
conducting
these
assessments,
auditors
will
maintain
a
close
contact
with
the
department's
leadership.
J
Attention
will
be
given
to
the
optimization
of
consultant
time
and
travel
expenses
through
a
well-planned
logistical
strategy.
Finally,
they
will
prepare
comprehensive

a
manner
that
will
allow
the
department
to
quickly
identify

recommendations
while
providing

presentation,

A
Okay,
great,
we
will
come
in
with
some
questions.
First
question
will
come
from
assemblywoman
tolls.
H
Thank
you
chair,
and
thanks
for
that
presentation,
I
I
particularly
interested
in
the
budget
e-229
and
the
effort
to
do
a
little
bit
more
study
on
reducing
overtime.
H
I
know
that
that's
been
an
issue
in
the
past
and
particularly
in
an
audit
in
2018
it
was
showed
we
showed
that
in
2016
and
17
there
was
a
34
increase
in
overtime,
and
I
just
wondered:
could
you
just
give
us
an
update
on
where
we
are
in
more
recent
years
and
what
we
anticipate
is
going
to
be
the
savings
as
a
result
of
this
study.
I
For
the
record,
this
is
deputy
director,
harold
wickham.
Thank
you
for
the
question,
senator
tolls.
I
don't
have
the
specific
numbers
on
the
cost.
Savings
that'll
be
yet
to
be
determined
and
we'll
provide
that
as
soon
as
possible,
but
I
just
want
to
provide
some
clarity.
This
staffing
study
is
kind
of
an
overall
broad
picture
of
where
the
agency
needs
to
be
because
we
haven't
had
a
comprehensive
staffing
study
in
quite
a
while,
and
the
last
one
we
had
was
through
the
aca,
not
aca,
but
asca.
I
The
ask
a
study,
which
was
not
that
comprehensive
and
didn't
go
into
the
necessary
detail.
As
you
can
tell
with
our
agency,
we've
got
some
concerns.
We
can't
staff
ealy,
so
we
have
all
these
vacant
positions
these
vacant
positions.
We
then
try
to
utilize
it
other
facilities
as
a
cost
savings
measure.
So
we
don't
encourage
so
much
overtime
because
we
still
have
to
provide
transportation
and
hospital
guarding,
especially
in
light
of
covid.
I
It's
been,
it's
been
challenging
us
for
us
to
meet
all
of
our
transportation
needs,
so
we
use
a
lot
of
these
vacant
pcns
to
cover
those
positions
that
seem
to
uprise
that
are
not
budgeted
for.
So
that's
that
that
kind
of
goes
into
the
overtime
thing,
but
ultimately
it's
about
safety
and
security,
and
we
need
this
staffing
study
in
such
a
desperate
way,
because
this
also
goes
into
our
task
centric
staffing
model,
because
we
believe
that
modern
corrections
needs
to
change
the
way
we
do
things
and
with
a
good,
comprehensive
staffing
study.
I
We
think
we'll
find
more
of
those
efficiencies
if
we
bring
in
experts
that
can
can
help
us
with
this,
and
so
I
I
hope
that
answers
your
question
to
an
extent
again,
I
don't
have
those
specific
numbers,
but
I
think
this
staffing
study
is
vital
for
the
agency
to
move
forward
in
modern
corrections,
and
it
will
provide
us
the
necessary
data,
so
we'll
know
where
we're
at
and
what
we
need
to
ask
for.
I
hope
that
answers
your
questions.
Ma'am.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair
follow-up
quickly.
Please
thank
you
so
you'd.
I
definitely
realize
that
we
may
not
have
those
projections
until
after
we
have
the
study,
but
if
you
could
provide
to
the
committee
the
overtime
costs
for
fiscal
year,
18
19
and
if
20
is
available.
H
I
just
like
to
see
in
comparison
to
how
we're
doing
in
more
recent
years
from
how
we
were
doing
in
fiscal
year,
17
and
16.,
and
one
last
question
you
mentioned
having
transportation
supervision
to
the
hospital
and
it's
my
understanding
that
in
2018
director
zarinda
changed
a
policy
that
we
no
longer
needed
to
two
officers
to
escort
an
inmate
to
the
hospital
and
that
that
was
proposed
to
save
3.5
million
dollars.
Did
we
in
fact
implement
that
policy
change
and
did
that
actually
lead
to
savings
in
overtime.
I
For
the
record,
this
is
deputy
director,
harold
wickham.
Thank
you
for
the
question,
senator
tolls.
We
did
in
fact
implement
that
program.
However,
it
wasn't
for
the
transportation.
It
was
just
for
the
hospital
guarding
and
transportation.
It
still
requires
a
minimum
of
two
officers
again
depending
on
the
custody
level
of
the
offender,
but
one
has
to
drive,
and
one
obviously
has
to
supervise
the
offender
as
far
as
the
savings
numbers
I'll
have
to
get
with
our
fiscal
department,
get
you
those
specific
numbers.
I
A
Chair,
thank
you
assemblywoman
and
thank
you
for
that
question
too,
because
I
I
am
also
interested
in
seeing
if
there
was
a
cost
savings
there,
even
if
it
was
just
regarding
inmates
in
the
in
medical
facilities,
I'm
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
have
assemblyman
watts,
that's
his
questions
and
and
then
I
have
some
follow-ups.
F
Thank
you
so
much
from
adam
chair,
just
on
the
the
staffing
model
a
little
bit
more,
I
have
some
additional
questions
following
up
on
assemblyman
tools.
What
are
some
of
the
challenges?
The
department
is
seeing
with
the
current
staffing
model
and
so
and
what
exactly
prompted
the
recommendation
to
do
this?
This.
G
Study
is
director
daniels
for
the
record.
What
caused
us
to
take
a
look,
and,
first
of
all,
when
I
arrived,
is
just
your
routine
assessment.
You
look
at
fiscally
how
you
operate
you
and
a
part
of
that,
of
course,
is
over
time.
But
you
also
look
at
the
types
of
violence
that
you
have.
You
just
do.
G
We
didn't
even
have
a
recognition
of
what
needed
to
be
done
or
what
was
available
based
on
new
strategies
and
such
within
the
corrections,
industry
and
new
best
practices,
as
it
relates
to
industry
best
practices,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
because
we
were
not
accredited
with
the
major
correctional
industry
associates,
meeting
the
american
racial
correctional
association
of
when
I
did
my
initial
review
on
all
of
our
policies
and
procedures,
I
found
that
there
weren't
more
to
anything
so
a
reason
that
we
would
do
x,
y
and
z
would
normally
be
because,
because
it's
the
best
practice
or
an
industry
standard
no
different
than
what
a
developer
would
have
or
no
difference
in
the
practice
of
medicine
or
building
aircraft
engines.
G
We
weren't
more
to
anything.
So
a
lot
of
the
things
that
were
done
was
just
because
somebody
in
the
past
decided
it
would
be
a
good
idea
that
never
is
helpful
in
court
to
say.
Well,
we
don't
even
know
where
this
came
from
or
where
we're
doing
it,
but
I
also
realized.
Although
we
were
very
limited
in
staff,
we
weren't
maximizing
what
we
could
get
our
staff
to
do
while
on
duty,
and
many
of
them
were
on
static
posts
and
basically,
under
the
old
prison
model,
pre
late
1980s,
you
had
prison
guards.
G
G
We
can
build
that
in,
but
also
after
a
person
leaves
the
academy,
there's
not
a
whole
lot
of
training
that
they
have
other
than
onboarding.
So
if
you
don't
get
a
post
or
no
one
else
is
willing
to
teach
you,
you
miss
out
on
all
the
things
that
a
modern
corrections
agency
must
do
to
ensure
the
safety
of
their
staff
and
the
inmates
and,
of
course,
keep
the
image
from
going
home.
So
over
here,
post,
8,
10,
12
hours
count
the
guys
once
or
twice
take
them
to
the
showers.
G
If
you
need
to-
and
that
was
it,
but
then
they're,
post
centric,
I'm
sorry
another
task
center.
We
can
literally
design
our
day
to
ensure
that
we
get
the
maximum
bang
for
the
buck.
A
staff
member
that
has
been
on
a
post
knows
these
going
to
be
more
than
likely
doing
x,
amount
of
things
performing
x,
amount
of
tasks
it
gets
them
out.
They
get
to
learn
more,
they
get
to
be
around
more
staff,
especially
more
experienced
staff,
and
so
what
it
does.
G
E
G
Have
one,
and
as
far
as
I'm
concerned,
that's
corrections
malpractice
we
need
to
do
better.
We
have
to
the
beautiful
thing
about
our
staff
is
they're,
really
talented
and
they
do
work
hard.
So
I'm
I'm
so
pleased
with
the
folks
that
serve
under
me,
whether
it
be
from
my
wardens
or
my
executive
team
or
my
officers.
G
They
are
thirsty
for
information
and
knowledge
and
they're
willing
to
do
what
they
have
to
do,
but
we,
as
a
leadership
body,
have
to
provide
a
mechanism
for
them
to
ensure
all
the
advantages
of
being
a
post-certified
law
enforcement
official
and
prepare
them
for
the
future,
because
that
way
we're
preparing
the
agency
for
the
future
right.
Now,
though,
there's
no
way
to
get
there
because
we're
social,
not
staff.
We
know
there's
a
better
way.
G
We
once
again
it's
not
approved,
and
I
will
not
be
get
ahead
of
my
ski
so
to
speak
on
this
issue.
I
firmly
believe
that
I
need
to
get
this
run
through
the
appropriate
people
once
again,
though,
all
of
this
would
have
already
been
visited
if
it
had
not
been
for
kobe
and
once
again,
with
my
staff
here
down
south
and
my
men
and
women
out
on
the
front
line,
we.
E
G
24
7
and
nobody
went
on
vacation.
Nobody
stayed
at
home
unless
you
were
isolated
or
otherwise
you
could
come
in
due
to
quarantine,
but
we've
been
running
24
7
and
we
need
to
provide
our
our
staff
with
better
and
we
need
to
provide
the
citizens
of
the
state
and
the
governor's
office
and
the
legislature
with
a
way
of
running
our
presence
that
really
focus
in
on
the
re-entry
piece,
those
humans
that
come
to
us.
We
had
nothing
to
do
with,
but
we
certainly
have
everything
to
do
with
with
their
reintegration
back
in
the
society.
G
All
of
this
will
assist
us
in
ensuring
that
we
do
that,
and
that
should
be
something
that's
measured.
When
you
look
at
our
corrections,
how
many
people
are
recidivating?
What
are
the
rates?
Why?
Where
are
we
missing
it
who's
reoffending?
What
what
type
of
training
did
we
provide
them?
And
so,
when
you
put
all
of
that
together,
we
can
be
more
effective
and
more
efficient,
but
the
next
is
the
beginning
of
all
this.
G
The
birthplace
of
all
this
is
new
person
comes
in
they
do
the
routine
assessment,
like
any
other
executive,
would
in
any
other
agency
or
industry
or
business,
see
where
we
are
take
a
snapshot,
learn
what
we
do
and
then
identify
a
strategic
plan
embark
upon
a
strategic
plan
up.
You
put
it
together
to
be
able
to
reach
your
goals.
So
that's
where
we
are
with
that.
H
F
The
beginning
of
your
response
has
a
vendor
been
selected
for
this
study
and
has
the
department
worked
with
state
purchasing
on
this
selection
process?.
I
For
the
record,
this
is
deputy
director,
harold
wickham,
a
vendor
has
been
identified,
but
no,
we
haven't
selected
one
that
we'll
have
to
go
through
state
purchasing
and
an
rfp
to
accomplish
that.
We
just
talked
to
a
couple
vendors
just
to
get
cost
estimates
on
what
we're
looking
at,
and
that
was
the
average
cost.
Was
the
288
000
mark.
E
K
I
If
I
may
indulge
the
chair
to
respond
to
a
question
that
was
asked
by
senator
tolls,
we
do
provide
a
quarterly
report
on
overtime
to
lcb,
it's
and
also
a
letter
of
intent.
That
goes
into
very
specific
detail
on
the
overtime
cost
and
comparisons
as
to
previous
years.
I
can
certainly
ask
our
fiscal
department
to
send
an
additional
copy
to
the
committee.
If
you'd,
like
ma'am,.
H
No,
that's,
okay!
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
was
clear
for
the
record
and
thank
you
for
that
detail
and
all
the
work
you're
doing,
especially
at
a
time
like
this.
F
I
For
the
record
deputy
director,
harold
wickham,
the
completion
date
would
obviously
depend
on
the
date
we
are
approved
to
start
send
out
the
rfp
get
the
contracting
in
and
once
all
of
that's
done,
we're
looking
at
probably
anywhere
from
three
to
six
months
for
a
finalized
report.
Once
the
finalized
report
is
presented
from
the
vendor,
we
would
certainly
share
that
with
the
committee
as
well
as
lcb
or
any
interim
finance
that
may
need
it
as
well.
A
You're
welcome.
Thank
you.
I
I
have
a
question
on
this.
I
guess
to
go
back
to
this
overall
discussion
and
I
hear
you
saying
you
know
we
really
need
the
study.
We
need
this
study
and
I
I'm
wondering
do
we
really
need
the
study?
A
Some
of
the
women
told
reference,
other
studies
that
have
been
done
and,
and
it
feels
so
closely
to
so
many
times
we
we
we
keep
studying
stuff
well,
we
already
have
identified
the
problems
and
we
already
know
what
the
solutions
and
recommendations
are,
and
we
have
obviously
other
states
that
that
do
things
well,
that
we
can
look
at
and
other
good
practices
out
there
in
the
industry.
So
with
this
with
this,
where
we're
not
even
there
yet
with
you
know
contracting
with
someone
I
mean,
is
this
something
that's
really
necessary?
A
Are
we
going
to
gather
data
and
information
that
we
don't
already
that
we
don't
already
know?
Is
there
going
to
be
recommendations
and
solutions
that
we
don't
already
have
within
us?
Is
there
stuff
that
we
just
can
already
do
and
we're
not
moving
on,
or
is
this
that
we're
trying
to
use
this
as
the
catalyst
or
the
support
to
make
those
those
systemic
changes
that
we
know
that
we
know
need
to
be
made.
G
I'm
madam
chair,
this
is
director
daniels.
Thank
you
for
your
question.
G
Part
of
the
reason
that
we
really
want
to
move
forward
with
the
staffing
analysis
is
because,
when
you
look
at
all
of
the
things
we
are
required
to
do
just
to
stay
in
compliance
with
provisions
that
have
been
identified
in
the
eighth
amendment
of
the
u.s
constitution
and
then
the
subsequent
rulings
that
have
come
down
further
defining
it.
We
in
our
opinion,
do
not
have
enough
staff
to
operate
the
agency
effectively
and
efficiently.
G
Some
of
it
has
to
do
with
the
location
of
some
of
our
facilities,
but
the
reality
is,
for
instance,
if
anyone
is
coming
in
new
and
they
want
to
look
at
our
staffing,
the
first
thing
they're
going
to
want
to
find
out
what
does?
What
is
the
mission?
What
are
you
required
to
do?
They'll,
look
at
your
statutes
and
so
on,
and
then
how
the
most
effective
and
efficient
way
to
move
forward
with
all
of
those
one
of
the
things
that
you
will
find.
I'm
in
my
fourth
agency
in
six
years
and.
E
G
Will
tell
you
we
don't
have
the
we
don't
have
enough
staff
quite
frankly
so
well,
how
would
that
happen?
If
we've
had
previous
studies?
Well,
almost
every
single
one
of
those
will
boil
down
to
a
post-shift
relief
factor
and
that
takes
into
consideration
how
many
people
you
need
to
run
your
facility,
and
that
will
also
include
the
time
they're
out
on
vacation
pay
and
training.
G
G
Came
back
most
of
the
recommendations,
weren't
addressed
I'll
leave
it
like
that,
but
so
we
just
want
an
independent
group
to
come
in
and
assess
it.
So
when
we
move
forward
and
say
listen,
we
need
some
help
on
our
staffing.
G
That
was
just
not
viewed
as
as
just
pure
100
mismanagement,
which
is
from
my
understanding,
based
on
a
combination
of
a
lot
of
conversations
with
the
people.
I
deal
with
that,
apparently
there's
a
notorious
reputation
of
ndoc,
basically
just
mismanagement,
we're
here,
24
7.,
seven
days
a
week
we
run
many
cities,
as
in
with
any
city.
You'll
have
crime.
G
You
gotta
deal
with
stores,
you
gotta
deal
with
the
infrastructure,
but
I
tell
you
right
now:
our
staffing
is
not
sufficient,
which
then
forces
us
to
utilize
overtime
on
a
regular
basis
just
to
get
by
there's
a.
E
E
G
If
it
goes
below
here
we're
at
emergency
level,
because
we
don't
have
enough
staff
to
effectively
respond
to
an
emergent
situation
and
because
of
that,
we
literally
do
our
best
to
stay
in
contact
with
our
field
leadership
we're
out
and
about
all
meeting
my
executive
team,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
we
don't
have
enough
staff
to
do
the
job.
That's
just
the
bottom
line.
G
G
G
Understaffed
and
so
basically,
our
staff
burn
themselves
out
just
trying
to
have
some
semblance
of
a
personal
life,
and
it
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
work
ethic
or
any
male
thesis.
It
has
everything
to
do.
We
just
don't
have
enough
humans.
You
have
to
have
humans
to
run
a
corrections
agency.
So
that's
why
we
want
to
revisit
it,
and
I
do
agree
with
you.
It's
been
revisit.
It's
been
visited
in
the
past,
but
crisis
has
also
changed.
G
G
Well,
we
knew
that
was
wrong
when
I
started
and
we
really
improved
meaning
corrections
in
general
and
trying
to
make
it
better
and
understand.
We
are
not
guarding
inmates,
we're
not
prison
guards.
We
are
here
to
ensure
that
when
the
inmates
come
to
us,
regardless
of
what
they
do,
they
pay
their
debt,
but
after
the
paying
of
their
debt
to
society,
they're
then
prepared
to
stay
out.
So
we
now
have
taken
on
all
of
those
duties,
whether
it
be
in
prison
industries
or
working
with
schools,
colleges,
universities.
G
Those
are
severely
mentally
ill
and
we
have
to
protect
a
lot
of
our
inmates
from
via
protective
custody,
because
we
do
have
predatory
inmates.
We
have
to
do
a
lot
to
keep
everyone
safe
and
to
keep
them
from
escaping
and
once
again,
if
it
hadn't
just
been
for
the
extraordinary
talent
and
work
ethic
of
my
staff
in
which
and
all
my
agencies,
the
work
ethic
in
this
state
is
extraordinary.
E
G
G
We
need
to
move
forward
in
a
great
way
and
there's
a
lot
more
things
we
could
be
doing
which
we're
working
on
right
now
as
it
relates
to
re-entry,
but
we
could
do
more,
but
we
can't
get
beyond
public
safety
staff
taking
an
inmate
safety.
That's
just
paramount
and
you
have
to
have
humans
to
address
those
issues.
I
I
I
want
to
get
my
apologies
for
probably
giving
you
way
much
more
than
you.
A
Ask
I
I
I
appreciate
that
director
and-
and
you
don't
have
to
convince
me
about
the
staffing
ratios-
I
have
visited
the
prisons
here.
I
I
won't.
I
won't
publicly
say
how
I
feel
or
what
I
saw
not
because
I'm
afraid
to
say
things
on
the
record,
but
for
the
safety
of
our
our
staff.
So
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
convincing
me
about
the
numbers
and
and
our
staffing
ratio.
A
I
I
guess
I'm
just
to
the
point
where
I'm
like
you
know
ready
for
some
action
and
if
that's
what
what
you
feel
will
support
that
initiative,
then
then
I
I
accept
that
and
with
that,
the
only
suggestion
that
I
would
ask
is
that
when
whoever
comes
in
to
do
this
independent
study,
please
make
sure
that
the
actual
staff
is
included
in
in
this
process,
that
they
have
a
voice
and
a
seat
at
the
table,
because
oftentimes,
the
people
that
are
most
impacted,
the
people
that
are
literally
delivering
the
services
are
the
last
people
that
are
asked
and
often
the
best
solutions
and
recommendations
actually
come
from
the
people
that
are
directly
administering
and
delivering
that
service.
A
And
yet
often
they
are
the
first
ones
overlooked.
So
I
would
just
think
that
that
also
allowing
them
to
be
part
of
the
process
would
be
great
with
that.
I
don't
see
any
further
questions
on
this
item,
so
we
can
move
on
to
the
next
ones
if
you're
ready
for
with
the
prison
and
the
conservation
camp.
J
H
J
Prisons,
nevada's
maximum
security
facility
has
equipped
the
house
and
care
for
the
most
unmanageable
inmates
to
include
death
row,
disciplinary
and
administrative
segregations
in
its
population.
The

has
336
full-time

which
include

and
51
non-custody.
The

the

Twenty

is
thirty:
one
million
seven
hundred
two

eight

but
the
base
population
of

estimates.

This

Both

and
I
I'd
like
everybody
to
please
know
the

correct.
However,
they
should
have
been

This
is
applied
to
all
custody
positions,
lieutenant
and
below
in
order
to
engage
competitively
in
local
labor
market
and
incentivize
custody
recruits
and
retention.
The
governor's
recommended
budget
for
this
request
is
297
717
dollars
in
sfy
22
and
306
thousand
eight
hundred
seven
dollars
in
this
fy23.
J
It's
state
prison.
A
Okay,
so
is
this
it
for
this
particular
budget
for
ely
state?
Yes,
okay,
before
we
go
to
questions
on
this
budget,
I
I
need
to
backtrack
just
to
the
last
budget
quickly,
because
senator
dennis
does
have
a
few
questions.
So
if
you
don't
mind,
if
we
can
flip
back
to
the
previous
budget
and
then
we'll
come
back
to
ealing
state
prison,
senator
dennis.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
want
to
follow
up
on
on
your
the
the
assistant
to
the
director
position.
Who's
currently
performing
those
duties
and
how
is
that
going
to
differ
from
your
deputy
director
positions.
G
This
is
director
daniels,
I'll
address
that
always
start
out.
Then
we
can
transition
into
chief
of
human
resources
and
our
inspector
inspector
general
who's
working
right
now,
as
our
leader
in
our
services
department
right
now,
the
vast
majority
of
the
duties
that
need
to
be
performed
just
aren't
being
performed,
but
I'm
going
to
have
to
give
you
an
example
of
what
and
why
so.
For
example,
there
is
no
strategic
planning
process.
G
I
can't
recall
an
organization
that
I
work
for
that
didn't
have
strategic
planning.
We
can
look
forward
into
the
future
and
charter
of
course,
and
ensure
we
get
the
training,
the
expertise,
the
equipment
and
the
money.
We
don't
even
have
appropriate
liaisons
for
our
stakeholders,
with
the
exception
of
maybe
our
legal
entity,
we
interface
with
literally
all
of
these
committees.
We
deal
with
all
of
the
county
commissioners,
all
of
these
mayors,
the
people
that
run
these
cities.
G
We
don't
have
a
mechanism
other
than
well
who's,
the
last
person
to
talk
to
this
individual
and,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
when
I
got
here,
everyone
literally
just
reported
directly
to
me-
and
I
had
to
keep
my
home
note.
I
had
to
keep
up
with
all
of
this
and
we
were
not
effective
and,
quite
frankly,
we
still
aren't
an
organization
without
without
strategic
planning
is
an
organization
literally
flying
in
the
dark
in
a
cockpit?
We
don't
know
where.
Well,
let's
put
it
this
way?
G
We
know
where
we're
going
now,
but
we
there's
just
no
formalized
structure
to
make
anything
work.
There
was
nothing
that's
efficient.
When
I
arrived,
we
couldn't
even
find
minutes
told
to
meetings
from
in
the
past.
We
didn't
know
who
was
doing
what
and
who
was
doing
what,
with
whom,
so
in
terms
of
organizational
structure
our
ability
to
be
able
to
have
basic
meetings
like,
for
instance,
directors,
meeting
and
executive
staff
meeting
part
of
my
rival.
G
There
was
no
such
thing,
and
so
everyone
operated
in
silos,
and
I
think
a
lot
of
what
was
skewed
with
the
agency
was
that
you
have
the
silos
that
get
taught
well.
We
need
to
be
able
to
have
assignments.
Follow
up
on
those
assignments.
Have
meetings
bring
in
our
share?
Our
stakeholders
talk
to
the
community
meet
with
the
various
people,
but
we.
E
G
F
G
G
G
G
So
if
you
would
like
I'll
be
more
than
happy
to
elaborate,
I'm
I'm
presuming
that
you
already
have
a
copy
of
what
this
position
entails,
but
if
not
I'd
be
more
than
happy
to
share
with
you
what
that
person
will
be
doing
and
why
it's
necessary.
C
G
The
new
position
will
not
have
will
not
be
at
the
same
level
as
my
deputy
directors,
directors.
They'll
fall
in
a
level
right
below
that,
but
their
that
person
will
report
directly
to
me
and
we
can
appropriately
plan
strategically
to
be
a
much
better
agency
and
there'll
be
one
place
to
go.
What
assignments
are
up?
What
what
projects
are
we
working
on?
Where
do
we
all
meet
in
the
minds
and
make
sure
that
it
continues
to
go?
G
Something
so
simple
is,
for
instance,
follow-up
to
this
meeting
and
we
had
indicated
we
would
follow
up
part
of
this.
If
somebody
remembered
to
write
it
down,
they
might
get
something
to
it,
but
other
than
that.
There's
just
no
problem
who
monitors
being
responsive
to
the
legislature,
the
assembly
or
the
senate,
or
the
lcb
who's
responsible.
For
that,
what's
our
schedule,
what
reports
are
due
who's
checking
on
the
quality
of
those
reports?
Did
anybody
check
on
the
quality
of
those
reports?
G
G
The
other
thing
is
so,
for
instance,
my
executive
team
we're
requiring
we're
on
the
field
all
the
time
we
have
to
know
what's
going
on
with
our
staff,
and
it
was
quite
frankly
touching
with
madam
chair
miller,
mentioning
that
she
knows
how
tough
it
is.
G
C
Okay,
madam
chair,
I
have
a
kind
of
a
hodgepodge
because
I
got
a
couple
other
questions.
A
C
All
right,
so
the
other
one
on
the
staffing
study
that
you're
in
decision
e29,
if
that's
approved,
can
you
would
is
that
going
to
look
at
your
management
structure?
That
study.
G
This
is
director
daniels.
All
right,
I
don't
have
the
actual
written
document
on
what
we
put
out
of
what
we
assess,
but
as
a
part
of
any
of
these,
there
should
be
a
management
study.
I
participated
as
a
team
member
on
many
of
these
and
you
can't
just
do
the
the
piece
on
the
line
staff
or
the
field
step.
You
have
to
do
the
whole
thing
because
everything's
interrelated,
and
especially
when
there's
limited
resources.
G
We
need
to
really
get
have
those
people
that
come
out
and
assess
and
do
a
complete
job,
but
if
they
were
decide,
listen
based
on
the
money,
we
can
only
do
the
field
positions
then
absolutely
I'll.
Take
that,
but
we're
going
to
request
that
we
have
more
because
we
need
an
assessment
from
an
impartial
group,
and
I
want
them
to
be
able
to
communicate
with
the
legislature
and
the
governor
about
where
we
are
and
what
we're
doing.
G
C
Thank
you.
The
the
the
last
question
I
had
to
do
has
to
do
with
your
elimination
of
a
information
technology.
Professional
you've
got
some
I.t
things
coming
up,
especially
that
the
new
offender
tracking
system,
if
you're,
look
if
you're,
eliminating
that
position,
which
I
believe
is
currently
vacant.
But
how
are
you
gonna
handle
all
the
technology
things
that
you've
got
coming
up.
G
G
G
G
I
want
those
positions,
but
since
I
received
the
recommendation
of
the
two
prior
deputy
directors
that
we
should
offer
something
substantial
and
be
able
to
show
that
on
the
books
that
you
know
it's
really
not
going
to
cost
the
agency,
you
just
hire
this
one
and
eliminate
the
other
positions.
So
our
initial
request
was
three
for
one.
Then
we
cut
it
down
to
two
for
one,
but
we
gave
up
more
substantial
positions.
G
I
do
not
want
to
give
up
those
positions
but
turn
on
the
tv
every
agency
is
suffering.
I'm
willing
to
do
my
part.
E
G
Staff,
the
the
person
that
would
be
most
responsible
is
actually
in
this
room
right
now
out
of
the
camera,
and
we
made
direct
eye
contact
and
the
nut
was
yes,
I
just
provided.
I
have
a
clear
understanding.
This
will
be
a
miracle
as
well,
and
but
it
appears,
we've
been
in
the
miracle
business
now
for
the
last
few
years,
so
you
know
we're
going
to
give
it
our
best
shot.
A
Thank
you,
senator
and,
and
thank
you
director
for
allowing
us
to
backtrack
a
budget.
Let's
go
forward
with
our
questions
for
the
for
ely
state
prison.
Assemblywoman
peters,
I
believe,
has
a
question.
F
Thank
you
chair.
I
do
so
I
wanted
to
ask
about
the
impact
that
the
2019
legislative
decision
to
increase
the
five
percent
rural
pay
salary
adjustments.
F
M
Good
morning,
assembly,
woman
peters-
this
is
christina
leathers
chief
human
resource
officer
for
the
nevada
department
of
corrections.
Yes,
following
the
last
legislative
session,
all
lieutenants
and
below
custody
positions
are
receiving
the
five
percent
they're
from
what
I
understand.
Historically,
the
rural
pay
had
previously
been
allowed,
but
due
to
budget
situations
that
impacted
the
state,
I
believe
in
the
2010-2011
time
period
that
was
removed,
so
there
were
still
some
employees
that
were
receiving
it.
F
Thank
you.
Additionally,
I
wanted
to
ask
about
what
those
in
what
the
impacts
of
that
five
percent
increase
had
on
the
recruitment
efforts
and
the
retention
of
custody
staff
at
the
election
prison.
G
C
It
is
difficult
to
say
with
certainty
how
much
impact
returning
the
rural
pay
to
those
officers
that
didn't
have
it
had
on
our
recruiting
efforts.
Since
then,
I
worked
for
the
department
of
corrections
because
I
wanted
to
to
live.
Move
here
to
white
pine
county
eventually
retire
in
this
area
and
I'm
kind
of
a
unusual
person.
I
guess
I
I
love
this
rural
environment.
It
is
not
easy
to
recruit
people
to
this
rural
environment.
C
People
coming
from
more
urban
places
have
to
understand,
give
up
amenities
to
live
here
in
this
particular
environment.
We're
not
rural,
we're
very
rural,
one
grocery
store,
hardly
any
internet
spotty
cell
phone
service,
no
walmart,
if
you
don't
have
amazon
prime
you're
not
going
to
survive,
and
you
have
to
enjoy
that
I'm
a
fisherman,
I'm
an
outdoor
guy.
C
I
love
to
chop
my
own
wood
burning,
my
own
fireplace
again,
it's
a
very
rural
lifestyle,
amazing
opportunity
for
for
people
like
me
here
in
wi-fi
county,
but
for
the
average
person,
the
vast
majority
of
persons.
This
is
a
hardship
to
come
up
here
and
even
though
we
offer
a
good
job
for
a
good
wage,
it's
just
barely
competitive
with
the
other
industries
that
are
here
and,
frankly,
no
actually
not
competitive
anymore.
C
When
you
add
in
the
the
the
cost
and
the
benefits
package
that
our
employees
have
to
pay
for,
the
five
percent,
I
would
say,
made
a
difference
to
a
very
small
minority
of
our
recruits,
but
those
recruits
are
absolutely
essential.
C
It
takes
10
officers
to
staff,
one
housing
unit,
10
full-time
employees,
staff,
one
housing
unit
at
the
bare
minimum,
and
if
I
retained
five
officers
over
that
period
because
of
that
five
percent
increase,
it
made
all
the
difference
in
the
world.
So
we
sincerely
appreciate
it.
The
staff
still
talk
about
the
five
percent
that
they're
happy.
It
came
back,
but
the
five
percent
should
be
15,
20,
25
30,
to
make
a
bigger
difference,
and
I
wish
it
could
be
we're
125
officers
below
our
authorized
allocation
right
now
running
it.
C
You
know
56
of
our
work,
I'm
running
six
of
eight
units
with
less
than
60
percent
of
my
authorized
staff
at
a
maximum
security
prison
being
as
careful
as
I
can
be
to
run
a
safe,
humane
environment
for
my
inmates
and
every
day
is
a
trade-off
of
one
two
officers
to
make
that
happen.
We
are
totally
dependent
on
overtime
to
make
it
safe
and
every
dollar
that
we
can
give
our
our
staff
to
retain
them
at
this
point
is
helpful.
A
Assemblywoman,
does
that
conclude
your
questions.
F
Yeah,
I
guess
I
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
and
ask
really
that
you
work
with
staff
on
seeing
if
they're,
if
there
are
quantitative
values,
to
give
to
whether
that
five
percent
has
has
effectively
increased
retention
input
in
particular,
if
we're
not
collecting
that
data,
we
should
be
to
to
acknowledge
efficacy
of
these
these
kinds
of
decisions.
So,
but
that's
that's!
That
of
my
question.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Senator
gokujia.
E
K
I
just
want
to
clarify:
there
is
a
grievance
filed
on
this,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody
now
going
forward
is
going
to
get
the
five
percent
because
clearly,
as
has
to
have
indicated
there,
there
were
a
number
of
people
that
received
the
the
rural
pay
differential
from
11
that
didn't
receive
the
5
in
the
2019
bill.
Even
though
I
voted
for
it,
I
thought
it
was
the
intent
there
were
some
that
didn't.
M
Senator
gokacha
the
christina
leathers
chief
human
resource
officer
in
nevada
department
of
corrections
for
the
record.
Yes,
sir,
I
am
very
much
aware
of
the
grievance
of
the
four
individuals
at
elyse
state
prison
in
regards
to
the
five
percent.
Those
four
individuals
are
actually
had
never
stopped
receiving
the
five
percent
rural
pay
and
their
agreements
is
based
on
receiving
an
additional
five
percent
in
rural
pay
on
top
of
what
they're
already
receiving.
M
So
I
do
believe
that
they
are
actively
seeking
clarity
from
the
legislature
on
how
that
five
percent
is
to
be
applied,
because
the
way
that
ndoc
and
specifically
human
resources,
along
with
the
division
of
human
resource
management,
looked
at
that
was,
if
you
were
not
already
receiving
the
five
percent
rural
pay,
then
you
were
now
entitled
to
it
and
for
those
four
individuals
with
that
grievance,
they
are
asking
for
an
additional
five
percent.
In
addition
to
the
five
percent
that
they're
already
receiving.
K
L
K
A
Thank
you,
senator
and-
and
I
I
have
this
questions
with
that,
because
I
guess
that
this
this
whole
this
whole
discussion
is
a
bit
confusing
for
me
and
I
would
actually
looking
at
our
materials
for
the
ely
conservation
camp.
It
seems
to
be
similar,
so
I'm
just
similar
issues.
A
So
I'm
going
to
ask
this
question
in
referring
to
both
the
state,
prison
and
the
conservation
camp,
but
as
senator
gokuchiyo
was
asking,
I
I
guess
first,
I'm
wondering
why
if
it
was
approved
in
2019
was
this:
was
it
not
in
the
budget
for
everyone
or
was
it
in
the
budget
for
everyone,
but
we
still
had
individuals
who
did
not
receive
it,
and
you
could
brief
concise
answers
on
this.
M
M
So,
as
explained
to
me
by
former
deputy
director
john
barleman
and
former
aso4
scott
eward,
when
this
came
up
in
the
last
session,
they
provided
a
list
of
employees
that
met
the
criteria
of
lieutenant
and
below
custody
staff
that
were
not
receiving
it,
and
the
amount
that
was
allocated
was
to
be
able
to
have
budget
to
provide
it
for
those
employees
to
receive
it.
That
were
not.
A
Okay,
so
then,
essentially
that
sounds
like
it
should
have
been
handled
in
2019
that
2019
going
forward,
then
everyone
that
should
have
received
it
should
have
received
it.
But
now
it
seems
like
this
is
the
the
request
is
to
actually
true
up
the
budget
to
ensure
that
everyone's
receiving
it
so
between
2019
and
now,
can
you
tell
us
how
many
people
have
not
received
what
they
were
supposed
to,
whether
how
many
people
are
we
talking
about
that
need
to
receive
this
five
percent.
M
A
A
Yes,
okay,
so
when
you
say
now
now
can
be

when
did
start
receiving
it
and
do
do
we
owe
anyone
I
mean,
because
you
can
say
yes
as
of
today,
but
in
the
past
two
years
did
we
and
based
on
the
lawsuit
that
was
brought
up
or
the
complaint
that
was
brought
up.
Do
we
have
staff
who
did
not
receive
what
they
were
entitled
to.
M
Christina
leathers
for
the
record,
madam
chair,
so
in
july
of
2019,
when
this
was
passed,
all
current
active
electric
employees
from
lieutenant
and
below
who
were
not
already
receiving
the
plus
five
were
submitted
in
process
to
receive
the
plus
five.
Any
new
employees
hired
specific
to
ely
state
prison
also
received
the
plus
five
upon
higher.
M
So
this
again
is
the
the
employees
that
are
grieving
it
they
were
receiving
the
plus
five
and
so,
from
their
perspective,
they
felt
that
they
would
receive
an
additional
plus
five,
so
they
were
already
receiving
rural
pay
and
they
read
the
approval
in
2019
as
oh.
Well,
I
already
get
it
so
now,
I'm
entitled
to
another
plus
five
of
rural
pay,
and
so
that's.
The
argument
is
even
though
I
was
getting
plus
five
before
july
2019,
the
legislator
approved
for
me
to
get
a
plus
five,
so
I
should
be
getting
a
plus
five
plus
five.
A
Okay,
thank
you
and,
and
I'm
assuming,
because
my
questions
would
also
apply
to
the
conservation
camp
that
we're
referring
to
employees
of
both
the
state
prison
and
the
conservation
camp.
A
Okay,
thank
you
for
that.
Any
additional
questions
from
members
senator
gokuchiya.
K
K
You
know
on
june
30th
they
actually
were
getting
this
money
much
money.
The
legislation
gave
everybody
that
was
there,
a
five
percent
pay
increase.
Their
argument
is,
and
it's
only
four
people,
but
their
argument
is
because
of
their
longevity
and
their
seniority.
They
were
there.
That
was
what
they
were
making
that
day
and
they
felt
they
were
entitled
to
the
additional
five
percent.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
the
committee
understands
that
it
was
like
everybody
gets
five
percent
raised,
but
you
don't
because
you
gotta
raise
last
year.
A
Okay,
thank
you
any
further
questions.
A
Okay,
not
seeing
any
additional
questions.
I
would
like
to
thank
the
department
of
corrections
and
the
entire
team
that
you
brought
with
you
today.
Oh
wait
am
I
missing,
we
didn't
do
conservation
camp
yet.
Did
we
let's
go
on
to
if
there's
anything.
A
Specific
you'd
like
to
share
yes
with
the
conservation
camp.
Let's
continue
please.

A
Okay,
and
so
with
that,
I
I
know
we
basically
combined
the
two-
the
conservation
camp
in
the
prison,
but
I
just
wanted
to
check
and
members
are
there
any
questions
on
this
one.
A
Okay,
seeing
none
we
can
move
on
to
the
final
ones.
D
One
of
my
primary
responsibilities
is
to
facilitate
the
development
of
capital
improvement
projects
by
interacting
with
the
ndoc
management
and
public
works
division,
as
well
as
their
board.
Clearly,
state
public
works
has
an
integral
role
in
the
cip
process,
including
estimates
of
cost
and
schedule
for
all
proposed
cips.

Furthermore,
public
works
supported
the
replacement
of
the
remaining
portion
of
the
hot
water
loop
to
ensure
reliable
heat
for
housing
units,
one
through
six,
nine
and
ten.
This
is
denoted
in
that
last
bullet.
On
this
slide,
the

crp,
so
in
summary,
ndoc
appreciates
its
ongoing
good
working
relationship
with
public
works.

A
We
know
that
those
final
budget
requests
that
you
shared
on
the
slides
will
be
presented

and
education
subcommittees,
but
we
thank
you
just
for
you
know
presenting
that
as
well,
so,
and

a
presentation
and
move
on
to
our
next
agenda
item,
which
is
public
comment,
so
broadcasting,
if
you
could
start
queuing
up
anyone
that
is
in
line
to
make
public
comment
again,
just
want
to
remind
everyone
that
we
ask
that
you
limit
your
comments
to

minutes
per
