A
C
Apologies
that
was
muted
chair.
C
Thank
you,
sir
good
morning,
chair
and
members
of
the
committee
dustin
speed
fiscal
analysis,
division
for
the
record
this
morning,
I'll
be
reviewing
the
budgets
for
the
department
of
corrections.
I
will
be
starting
with
the
department-wide
overview,
which
is
starting
on
page
three
of
your
packet.
C
The
governor
recommends
reductions
in
general
fund
appropriations
of
130
826
dollars
and
other
funds
of
295
765
dollars
in
an
increased
reserves
of
forty
six
thousand
nine
hundred
fifty
five
dollars
over
the
2021-23
biennium
as
a
result
of
reduced
inmate-driven
costs
related
to
decrease
in
projected
inmate
population,
a
decrease
in
the
projected
inmate
population
for
the
2123
biennium
compared
to
the
2019-2021
biennium,
based
on
the
inmate
population's
projections,
which
results
in
a
decrease
of
inmate-driven
costs.
C
According
to
the
department's
2021
capacity
analysis
report
and
displayed
in
the
following
tables,
the
the
department
has
one
or
13
479
beds,
department-wide,
which
is
2160
more
than
the
11
319
beds.
That
would
be
needed
to
meet
the
updated
projected
inmate
population.
Those
tables
can
be
found
on
page
six.
C
The
department
of
corrections
updated
the
annual
average
population
by
a
facility
based
on
the
march
2021
population
projections
by
custody
level,
which
results
in
a
reduction
in
projected
inmate
population
of
1
352
inmates
in
fy,
2022
and
1076
inmates
in
fiscal
year,
23
as
compared
to
fiscal
year.
20
actually
made
populations
as
reflected
in
the
table
below
on
page
seven.
C
The
governor's
finance
office
submitted
21
budget
amendments
that
are
outlined
in
the
first
table
below
to
the
up
to
update
the
caseload
throughout
the
department
that
results
in
the
reduction
of
projected
inmate
populations
of
1
302
inmates
in
fiscal
year,
22
and
1030
inmates
in
fiscal
year,
2023
as
compared
to
budget
amendments
submitted
by
the
governor's
finance
office,
recommended
reductions
in
the
general
fund,
appropriations
of
4.2
million
in
fiscal
year,
22
and
3.4
million
in
fiscal
year,
23.
and
other
funds
of
2.2
million
in
fiscal
year,
22
and
2.4
million
in
fiscal
year
20..
C
Additionally,
fiscal
staff
recommends
technical
adjustment
detailed
in
the
second
table
that
results
in
reductions
in
general
flood
appropriations
of
1.1
million
in
each
year
of
the
upcoming
bill.
A
result
of
the
march
2021
jfa
institute
projections.
The
department's
m200
decision
units,
as
amended
by
the
governor,
including
technical
adjustments,
noted
in
the
table
above
on
page
eight
results
in
a
reduction
in
total
funding
of
5.9
million,
4.2
million
of
which
is
general
fund
and
fiscal
year.
22
and
4.7
million,
3.4
million
of
which
is
general
fund
in
f123.
C
A
C
Technical
adjustments
noted
by
the
fiscal
staff
to
base
inmate-driven
expenditure-
it's
based
in
main
current
expenditures,
would
result
in
an
additional
general
fund
reduction
of
1
million
in
each
fiscal
year
for
the
2123
biennium.
C
Does
the
subcommittee
wish
to
recommend
approval
of
the
adjustments
to
average
annual
inmate
population
caseloads,
as
included
in
the
executive
budget,
including
the
21
budget
amendments
submitted
by
the
governor's
finance
office
and
technical
adjustments
identified
by
staff
related
to
the
department
of
corrections
at
200
decision
space
to
the
base
decision
units
identified
by
staff
relating
to
inmate-driven
expenditures,
which
would
result
in
net
reductions
to
general
fund
appropriations
of
5.3
million
and
fiscal
year?
22
and
4.4
million
in
fiscal
year?
23.
A
A
A
C
Sure
we
have
one
additional
item
here,
which
is
a
request
for
a
letter
which
is
a
request
for
a
letter
of
intent
for
temporarily
reassigned
positions.
C
Through
the
agency's
administrative
regulation,
staff
can
be
temporarily
temporarily
reassigned
to
another
duty
location
to
meet
workload
needs
of
the
agency.
Given
the
movement
of
inmates
between
facilities.
These
transfers
are
not
intended
to
be
used
for
adjusting
the
legislatively
approved
staffing
levels
of
a
particular
institution
in
response
to
inquiries
from
fiscal
staff.
The
department
provided
a
list
of
62
staff,
currently
reassigned
and
or
working
in
facilities
other
than
the
one
for
which
they
are
paid
of
the
62
positions.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
just
looking
at
some
of
this
in
here.
I
I'm
glad
to
see
that
they
are
not
considering,
then
the
change
of
the
maximum
to
southern
to
high
desert,
at
least
through
this
next
biennium.
So
that's
interesting
to
me.
It
was
kind
of
that.
It
is
funny
final
and
we're
not
going
to
consider
that.
As
far
as
the
honor
camp
is
concerned
there
in
ely,
you
know
that's
a
key
piece
as
far
as
rehab
work
and
fire
suppression.
B
With
that
camp
closed,
we
we
need
to
focus
on
trying
to
get
it
reopened.
Unfortunately,
I
know
most
of
the
staff
that
was
at
the
ely
conservation
camp
was
transferred
to
the
ely
state
prison,
but
it's
my
understanding
there's
only
about
seven
of
those
people
left,
so
we're
continuing
to
struggle
with
staffing
at
the
max
in
ely,
even
with
the
that
crew
being
shifted
from
the
honor
council.
I
agree
that
we
definitely
need
to
have
some
oversight
on
that
and
it's
critical
that
we
open
that
camp
at
some
point.
B
A
D
Madam
chair,
I
would
move
that.
We
recommend
that
the
the
the
letter
of
an
intent
instructing
the
department
of
corrections
to
report
to
the
governor's
finance
office
and
interim
finance
committee
on
a
semi-annual
basis
on
the
temporary
assignment
of
positions
among
its
institutions
to
meet
the
workload
needs
of
the
agency.
A
Okay,
I
have
a
motion
by
chair
dennis
I'll.
Take
a
second
thank
you.
We
have
a
second
by
vice
chair
monroe
moreno
with
that
any
further
discussion
on
the
motion.
C
Thank
you,
chair,
we'll
proceed
to
the
next
budget.
The
next
question
we'll
be
discussing
is
the
directors
off
this
budget.
Three,
three,
seven
one
zero,
which
starts
on
page
13
of
your
packet.
This
budget
has
two
major
issues.
The
first
major
issue
is
a
department-wide
staffing
study
decision
unit
e-229,
the
governor
recommends
appropriation
of
289
000
in
fiscal
year,
2022
to
fund
a
department-wide
staffing
study.
C
During
the
budget
hearing
on
march
3rd
2021,
the
department
testified
that
the
department-wide
staffing
study
was
prompted
by
the
fact
that
the
last
stuffing
staffing
study
was
done
several
years
ago.
The
department
indicated
that
they
do
not.
They
have
not
yet
selected
a
vendor
for
the
staff,
saying
that
would
be
working
with
the
state
purchasing
on
a
request
for
a
proposal
process.
If
funding
is
approved
and
follow,
actions
received
on
april
5th
2021,
the
department
confirmed
that
funding.
If
funding
were
approved,
the
staffing
study
for
the
staffing
city
department
would
request.
C
B
B
C
Dustin
speed,
fiscal
analysis,
vision
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
your
question.
The
discussion
with
the
department
indicated
that
they
require
the
staffing
study
in
order
to
elucidate
the
needs
of
the
department
and
to
to
identify
exactly
how
they
can
how
they
need
to
change
the
structure
of
staffing
for
for
each
each
facility,
also
in
line
with
sure
there
was
discussion
of
identifying
the
things
were
associated
with
the
task
based
modeling
system,
which
was
discussed
by
the
department
in
the
previous
hearings.
C
Do
you
have
any
further
questions?
Silly
one.
B
Minute
follow
up
sure.
Thank
you.
I
guess
maybe
to
help
me
out
a
little
bit.
What
I'm
looking
for
is
that
return
on
investment?
You
know.
So
if
you
know
to
invest
the
289
000,
are
we
hoping
that
that's
going
to
lead
to
greater
savings,
or
you
know
versus
just
taking
that
289
000
and
hiring
two
or
three
more
staff
members.
C
A
And
as
assemblywoman,
I
also
have
in
my
notes
that
when,
when
the
department
was
questioned
on
this,
that
it
was
about
the
integrity
and
effectiveness
of
the
prior
studies
and
being
able
to
use
the
data
to
support
the
needs
that
they
have,
because
we
know
that,
instead
of
things
being
just
viewed
as
something
that
is
desired,
but
actually
to
have
the
data
behind
it.
Do
we
have
someone
from
the
department
that
can
respond
to
that?
B
A
A
B
Have
been
some
previous
issues
regarding
our
actual
needs,
the
prior
study
was
viewed
by
summit,
have
not
been
impartial
with
our
goal,
to
not
only
suggest
that
or
understand,
but
we
needed
a
independent
third
party
to
address.
A
It
is
so
there
is
a
lot
of
actually.
I
couldn't
hear
specifically
if
you
said
reverb
or
feedback,
but
either
way
we
just
needed
a
brief
response
so
and
I
am
having
a
little
trouble.
B
A
C
Once
again,
this
is
director
daniels,
batter
department.
B
B
Look
at
our
legitimate
needs,
the
previous
to
my
understanding.
The
previous
study
was
rejected
as
not
necessarily
being
impartial
and
just
to
avoid
us
having
to
ask
for
particular
needs,
while
also
having
to
defend
this
study.
We
did
not
conduct
it's
just
not.
B
B
B
Thank
you
so
did
to
summarize,
madam
chair,
just
to
make
sure
I
understand
correctly
so
so.
This
is
because
the
the
last
study
had
some
integrity
issues
and
because
there
are
new
models
that
would
be
applied
in
this
study,
that
would
provide
new
information
that
would
be
of
value
to
the
department
of
corrections
in
order
to
base
staffing
decisions.
B
D
Madam
chair,
I
would
move
to
recommend
a
general
fund
appropriation
of
289
000
in
fiscal
year
2022
to
fund
a
department-wide
staffing
study
is
recommended
in
the
executive
budget.
A
A
B
A
That
is
a
grand
idea.
Thank
you.
So
do
we
need
to
make
a
motion
for
that,
or
can
we
just
request
it
from
director
daniels
or
would
that
be.
A
C
C
D
Okay,
I
will,
I
think
I
got
that
in
addition
to
my
motion,
I
would
move
that
we
that
they
report
back
the
results
to
our
staff
and
that
that
also
be
made
available
to
us
in
the
in
the
for
the
20
22
23
session.
As
we
go
through
that
budget
process
is
that
did
that
cover
it.
C
A
Thank
you.
So
I
have
a
motion
by
chair
dennis
and
a
second
by
vice
chairman,
roe
moreno,
all
those
in
favor.
Anyone
opposed
and
the
motion
passes
unanimously.
Can
we
move
to
the
next.
C
Thank
you
matter
of
chair
dustin
speed,
fiscal
announcement
division
for
the
record.
The
next
major
issue
is
a
new
un
classified
position
which
is
decision
unit
e-228.
C
Overall,
the
governor
recommends
the
addition
of
an
unclassified
assistant
to
the
director
position
that
would
serve
as
the
member
of
the
director's
executive
staff,
with
a
proposed
annual
salary
of
100
132
dollars
and
to
be
funded
through
the
elimination
of
the
vacant
personnel
officer
2
and
the
vacant
information
technology
officer,
professional
3,
resulting
in
reductions
in
general
fund
appropriations
of
100
thousand
241
dollars
over
the
21
23
by
and
one
net
position
during
the
budget
hearing
on
march
3rd
2021,
the
department
testified
that
the
requested
assistance
of
the
director
position
was
necessary
because
there
is
currently
a
lack
of
strategic
planning,
no
appropriate
liaison
for
stakeholders
such
as
commissioners,
committees
or
other
agencies.
C
C
The
department
indicated
that
the
intent
of
the
assistant
to
the
director
of
position
would
be
to
mirror
existing
deputy
director
positions
with
some
exceptions,
the
department
further
indicates
that
the
position
would
be
supervising
a
management
analyst
for
which
would
be
responsible
for
optimum
use
of
resources.
Fiscal
staff
would
note
the
department
previously
indicated
in
its
organizational
chart.
This
position
would
not
have
any
staff
members
reporting
to
it.
According
to
the
department.
C
If
the
subcommittee
recommends
approval
of
the
new
position,
does
the
subcommittee
wish
to
recommend
elimination
of
the
dedicated
fleet
services
vehicle
for
the
position
for
general
fund
savings
of
six
thousand
sixty
two
dollars
in
fiscal
year?
Twenty
two
and
six
thousand
five
hundred
seventy
seven
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
Twenty
three.
C
D
Madam
chair,
I
would
make
a
motion
to
recommend
funding
for
a
new
unclassified
assistant
to
the
director
position,
funded
with
the
elimination
of
a
vacant
classified
personnel
officer
and
a
vacant
information
technology.
Professional
classified
position,
as
recommended
in
the
executive
budget,
also
to
recommend
elimination
of
the
dedicated
fleet
services
vehicle
for
the
position
for
general
fund
savings
of
six
thousand
sixty-two
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
2022
and
6577
fiscal
year.
2023.
D
In
addition,
recommend
that
items
be
closed,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
request
authority
on
the
other
closing
items
that
the
they
be
closed.
As
recommended
by
the
governor
and
request
authority
for
staff
to
make
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
A
C
I
thank
you,
madam
chair
justin,
speed
fiscal
analysis,
division
for
the
record.
Our
next
budget
will
be
ely
state
prison,
which
is
budget
account
3751
located
on
page
19
of
your
packet.
This
budget
has
two
major
closing
issues.
The
first
major
closing
issue
is
the
rural
salary
pay
adjustment,
which
is
decision
unit
e-375,
the
governor
recommends
general
fund
appropriations
of
297
717
dollars
in
fiscal
year,
22
and
306
807
fiscal
year
23
to
fund
a
five
percent
increase
for
rural
pay,
salary
adjustment.
C
The
legislature
approved
funding
for
five
percent
increase
in
rural
pay,
salary
adjustment
during
the
2019
session
for
positions
already
not
receiving
the
pay
adjustment.
However,
the
five
percent
increase
was
not
included
for
all
custody
positions
in
the
21
23
by
adjusted-based
budget.
C
In
response
to
questions
from
the
subcommittee
during
the
budget
hearing
on
march
3rd
2021,
the
department
testified
there
were
no
eligible
staff
at
ely
state
prison
that
were
not
receiving
the
rural
pay
adjustment
of
5.
The
department
further
clarified
that
there
were
no
employees
that
were
owed
back
pay
or
pay
related
to
five
percent
salary
adjustment.
C
The
department
has
also
indicated
the
five
percent
salary
adjustment
has
has
had
positive
impact
regarding
recruitment
efforts
and
vacancy
rates,
but
the
impact
was
difficult
to
quantify
and
agreed.
It
would
work
with
physical
step
by
quantifiable
data
in
fallout
provided
april
5th
2021,
the
department
provided
data
related
to
the
average
yearly
vacancy
rates
detailed
in
the
following
tables.
On
page
21.,
fiscal
staff
would
note
that
the
average
vacancies
related
vacancy
percentage
would
be
impacted
by
positions
temporarily
reassigned
to
other
2d
locations.
C
Does
the
subcommittee
wish
to
recommend
general
fund
appropriations
of
297
717
fiscal
year
2022
and
306
thousand
eight
hundred
seven
dollars
in
fiscal
year
2023
to
continue
the
five
percent
increase
for
rural
pay,
salary
adjustment
that
was
approved
by
the
2019
legislature
for
97
custody
positions,
but
which
was
not
otherwise
included
in
the
2021-20
2023
biennium
based
budget
with
the
authority
for
fiscal
staff
to
make
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
clear
before
we
proceed,
and
now
everyone
is
getting
the
five
percent
rural
paid
adjustments
and
that
grievance
has
been
settled
that
was
filed.
It
was
five
or
seven
custody
officers
that
had
filed
a
grievance
two
years
ago
because
they
did
not
receive
the
five
percent
everybody's
good.
Today,
that's
that's
what
we're
saying.
D
Madam
chair,
I
would
move
that
we
recommend
general
fund
appropriations
of
297
717
in
fiscal
year
22
and
eight
hundred
and
306
thousand
in
fiscal
year.
Twenty
three
to
continue
the
five
percent
increase
for
a
rural
pay,
salary
adjustment
that
was
approved
by
the
night,
the
2019
legislature
for
the
97
custody
positions.
D
But
it
wasn't
included
in
the
2123
banning
base
budget
and
also
authority
for
fiscal
staff
to
make
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
A
C
Thank
you
very
much
and
we'll
continue
dustin
speed,
fiscal
analysis,
division
for
the
record.
Our
second
major
issue
is
the
operational
level
of
facility,
while
the
executive
budget,
as
amended,
recommends
a
significant
reduction
in
projected
inmate,
the
projected
inmate
population
for
the
2021-23
biennium
compared
to
fiscal
year.
C
2020,
a
reduction
in
the
operational
level
of
facility
is
not
included
the
executive
budget,
as
amended
by
the
budget
amendment
82160-93751,
includes
funding
for
ely
state
prison
to
operate
at
fully
operational
level
which,
with
a
projected
population
of
539
inmates
in
fiscal
year,
2022
and
562
inmates
in
fiscal
of
2023,
which
is
an
average
of
40
42
percent
average.
Less
than
42
percent
of
the
facilities,
emergency
capacity
level
of
1
322
beds,
the
average
inmate
population
in
the
fiscal
year
22
of
918.,
while.
C
Amended
has
been
adjusted
based
on
the
population
for
the
inmate
driven
expenditure,
such
as
food
clothing,
a
reduction
in
operational
level
of
the
facility,
including
staffing,
has
not
been
recommended.
On
march
3rd
2021.
The
department
indicated
that
as
april
2nd
2021
ely
state
prison
had
124
vacancies
and
that
it
cannot
reopen
the
camp
until
staffing
could
be
sustainable
above
emergency
staffing
levels,
which
would
require
64
additional
staff.
C
This
option
provides
funding
for
the
budget,
personnel,
inmate-driven
and
institutional
housing
unit
maintenance
operating
costs,
as
recommended
by
the
governor,
but
prevents
the
department
from
using
any
savings
in
these
appropriate
general
funds
for
non-really,
stated
prison
costs
or
other
institutions,
or
option
b,
recommend
approval
to
fund
the
institution,
as
amended
by
budget
amendment
821-609-3751
at
reduced
staffing
levels,
reduced
staffing
and
operational
operating
levels
consistent
with
the
march
2021
inmate
population
projection
for
fiscal
year,
22
and
fiscal
year,
23.
C
By
not
funding
the
positions
assigned
to
the
three
closed
housing
units
based
on
the
institution's
post,
chart
reduction
in
general
fund
appropriations.
If
the
subcommittee
recommends
this
option,
the
subcommittee
may
wish
to
direct
the
governor's
finance
office
and
the
department
of
corrections
to
work
with
fiscal
staff
to
determine
the
appropriate
staffing
reductions
as
a
result
of
the
three
housing
units
being
closed
and
to
determine
the
corresponding
amount
of
funding.
That
may
be
considered
to
be
appropriated
to
the
interim
finance
committee.
C
Contingency
account,
in
order
that
the
department
could
request
part
or
all
of
the
funding
if
the
housing
units
are
required
to
be
reopened
to
address
an
unforeseen
increase
in
the
inmate
population.
If
the
subcommittee
recommends
this
option,
the
recommendations
will
be
presented
at
the
full
committee
for
consideration.
D
I
also
moved
that
we
recommend
to
to
direct
the
governor's
finance
office
and
department
of
corrections
to
work
with
fiscal
staff
to
determine
appropriate
staffing
reductions
as
a
result
of
the
three
housing
units
being
closed
and
to
determine
the
corresponding
amount
of
funding.
That
may
be
considered
to
be
appropriated
to
the
interim
finance
committee.
Contingency
account
in
order
that
the
department
could
request
part
or
or
all
of
that
funding
if
housing
units
are
required
to
be
reopened
to
address
an
unforeseen
increase
in
the
inmate
populations.
D
This,
and
that
would
be
the
the
motion,
of
course,
this
would
then
be
presented
to
the
full
committee.
A
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and,
and
I
my
only
concern
with
this
is,
will
they
be
able
to
maintain
the
staffing
levels
at
the
prison
even
at
the
reduced
60
percent?
You
know
that
something
we'll
have
to
follow
along
on.
Clearly,
I
think
the
motion
makes
sense
ifc.
If
we
need
to
need
the
facility
to
stand
it
up
a
little
more,
we
could
do
that
through
ifc,
but
I'm
just
concerned.
Maybe
they
can't
even
maintain
a
60
staffing
level.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you
and
I
believe
that
this
this
a
this
motion
gives
time
between
now
and
when
we
as
a
the
full
committee
for
them
to
be
able
to
do
this.
So
I
I
think
that
that'll
be
good.
Thank.
A

Yes,

Our

is

which
is

That's
all

The
following
decision

for
the
record.
The
next
budget
is
ely
conservation
camp,
which
is
budget
account
3747.
This
budget
has
two
major
issues.
The
first
major
issue
is
the
rural
pay
salary
adjustments,
which
is
decision
unit
e375,
the
governor
recommends
general
fund
appropriations
of
nine
thousand
eight
hundred
twelve
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
Twenty
two
and
nine
thousand
nine
hundred
sixty
eight
dollars
fiscal
year,
2023
to
funded
five
percent
increase
in
world
pay
salary
adjustment.
C
The
legislature
approved
funding
for
the
five
percent
increase
in
rural
pay,
salary
adjustment
during
the
2019
session
for
positions
not
already
receiving
the
pay
adjustment.
However,
the
five
percent
increase
was
not
included
in
the
21
fiscal
year,
21
to
23
biennium,
adjusted
trusted-based
budget.
C
Does
the
subcommittee
wish
to
recommend
general
fund
appropriations
of
nine
thousand
eight
hundred
twelve
dollars
in
fiscal
year?
Twenty
twenty
two
and
nine
thousand
nine
hundred
sixty
eight
dollars
in
pistol
year
2023
to
continue
the
five
percent
increase
for
rural
pay
for
a
rural
pay,
salary
adjustment
that
was
approved
by
the
2019
legislature
for
three
custody
positions,
but
which
was
not
otherwise
included
in
the
fiscal
year
21-23
biennium-based
budget
and
with
the
authority
of

to

staff
to
make
other
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
A
C
C
Since
july
10
2020,
the
budget
has
been
funded
at
a
fully
operational
level
in
response
to
the
department
to
the
department
determining
that
a
critical
staff
shortage
existed
at
ely
state
prison,
the
department
temporarily
closed
italy
conservation
camp
on
july,
10
2020.
assign
the
staff
to
ely
state
prison
and
transfer
the
inmates
to
wells
conservation,
camp
and
piyo
conservation
camp.
C
The
executive
budget,
as
demanded
by
the
budget
by
budget
amendment
8216-413-747,
includes
funding
for
the
elite
conservation
camp
to
operate
at
a
fully
operational
level
with
an
average
population
of
101
inmates
fiscal
year,
2022
and
106
inmates.
In
fiscal
year,
2023.,
based
on
supporting
documentation
received
on
february
25th,
the
department
indicated
that
it
intends
to
reopen
in
conservation
camp
contingent
upon
the
approval
of
the
reclassification
of
high
desert
state
prison
and
ely
state
prison
and
the
status
of
the
covenant
19
pandemic
and
follow-up
response
to
questions
from
the
subcommittee
members.
C
There
are
currently
seven
incumbents
assigned
to
the
elite
conservation
camp,
but
to
the
elite
conservation
camp
budget,
including
four
correctional
officers,
one
correctional
caseworker,
one
sergeant
and
one
lieutenant
if
option,
b
or
or
option
c
below
or
is
chosen,
the
correctional
officers
and
the
correctional
caseworker
incumbents
could
be
reassigned
to
vacant
positions
at
healey
state
prison.
If
the
camp
is
not
reopened,
however,
there
are
currently
no
vacant
sergeant
or
lieutenant
positions
at
hilly
state
prison.
C
Therefore,
if
the
subcommittee
chose
to
recommend
option,
b
or
c,
the
sub
committee
may
wish
to
recommend
that
the
sergeant
lieutenant
positions
and
associated
costs
be
transferred
from
elise's
conservation
camp
from
the
ely
conservation
camp
budget
to
the
ely
state
prison
budget.
If
the
camp
does
not
reopen
to
avoid
potential
layoffs
of
the
incumbents.
C
Options
for
the
subcommittee's
consideration
option
a
recommend
approval
to
fund
the
facility,
as
included
in
the
executive
budget,
as
amended
by
budget
amendment
8216413747,
which
includes
funding
to
operate
the
camp
at
a
fully
operational
level.
If
so,
the
subcommittee
may
wish
to
recommend
excluding
the
budget
from
back
language
of
the
appropriations
act
that
allows
for
budgetary
transfer
of
general
fund
appropriations
between
department
of
corrections
budgets
with
the
approval
of
the
interim
finance
committee.
C
Option
b
recommend
approval
to
fund
the
facility,
as
included
in
the
executive
budget
for
fiscal
year
2022
as
amended
by
budget
amendment
8216413747,
which
includes
funding
to
operate
the
camp
at
the
fully
operational
level
for
three
months
of
the
staffing
operational
costs
in
the
in
the
budget,
with
the
remaining
nine
months,
appropriated
as
restricted
funds
to
the
interim
finance
committee.
This
contingency
account
that
the
department
could
request
if
the
camp
is
reopened
and
appropriate.
C
The
funding
for
fiscal
year
2020
budget
amendment
821-641-3747
as
restricted
funds
to
the
interim
finance
committee's
contingency
account
that
the
department
could
request
if
the
camp
is
reopened
with
the
budget.
With
the
budgetary
transfer
restriction
imposed
in
option.
A
this
option
provides
funding
for
three
months
of
fiscal
year
2022
but
places
the
remaining
fiscal
year
2022
and
fiscal
year.
C
2023
funding
in
the
interim
finance
committee,
rather
than
with
the
department
in
recognition
that
october
2021
would
be
15
months
that
the
facility
that
the
facility
will
have
been
closed
if
the
agency
has
not
reopened
the
facility
by
that
time
in
the
subcommittee.
If
the
subcommittee
recommends
this
option
the
subcommittee,
could
it
should
should
consider
recommending
that
the
sergeant
and
lieutenant
position
be
transferred
from
elite
conservation
camp
from
the
elite
conservation
camp
budget
to
the
ely
state
prison
budget?
In
the
event
that
the
camp
is
not
reopened?
C
If
the
subcommittee
recommends
us,
he
may
wish
to
direct
the
governor's
finance
office
and
the
department
of
corrections
to
work
with
fiscal
staff
to
determine
the
appropriate
amount
of
funding
to
represent
three
months
of
staffing
and
operational
costs,
so
that
those
details
can
be
brought
to
the
full
full
committees
for
closing
consideration
or
option
c
recommends
the
updated
projected
inmate
population
to
occupy
the
camp
of
101
inmates
in
fiscal
year,
2022
and
106
inmates
in
fiscal
year,
2023
and
associated
costs
be
included
in
other
budgets
as
appropriate,
reduce
the
funding
for
the
camp
to
a
to
minimum
expenditures
required
to
maintain
the
camp
in
mothball
status
and
recommend
closure
of
the
camp.
C
This
budget
would
then
be
funded
at
a
sufficient
level
to
maintain
the
facility's
physical
infrastructure,
as
is
done
with
southern
nevada,
correctional
center
for
both
fiscal
year
22
and
fiscal
year
23..
If
the
subcommittee
recommends
this
option,
the
subcommittee
should
consider
recommending
that
the
sergeant
and
lieutenant
positions
be
transferred
from
the
ely
conservation
camp
budget
to
the
elite
state
prison
budget.
C
B
You,
madam
chair
and
I
hate
to
believe
in
this
budget,
but
it's
my
district,
my
constituents,
I'm
really
concerned
and
I
support
b.
Clearly,
there's
no
reason
to
to
fully
budgeted
when
the
camp
is
closed,
but
I
I
would
like
to
see
the
opportunity
for
it
to
to
be
reopened
at
some
point.
My
concern
is
to
the
committee.
B
Is
you
have
to
understand
a
lot
of
those
people
that
worked
at
the
camp
did
take
the
transfer
and
go
to
the
prison,
but
they
really
don't
like
working
there
in
that
close
custody
situation
and
I'm
afraid
if,
if
it
looks
like
we're
not
going
to
open
the
camp,
we're
going
to
see
continued
reductions
in
personnel
because
they're
just
going
to
they're
going
to
seek
employment
somewhere
else,
they're
hanging
on
hoping
that
the
camp
is
going
to
open.
If
if,
in
fact
it
doesn't,
I
think
we'll
see
continued
leakage
in
that
in
that
personnel.
B
They
don't
like
working
in
the
prison
itself
and
are
hoping
that
the
camp
was
going
to
open.
They
could
go
back.
So
I'm
afraid,
if
we
don't
open
the
camp,
we'll
see
more
people
leave
and
unfortunately
that's
what
we're
trying
to
fix
it
with
this.
So
thank
you
just
to
comment.
You
have
to
understand
that
community
and
they
are
really
struggling
and
hoping
the
camp
does
open
and
some
of
those
people
will
work
there,
but
if
they
have
to
stay
at
the
prison,
I
think
you're
going
to
see
more
people
leave.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
for
that
senator
and,
I
think
that's
a
fair
assessment
there.
You
know
people
choose
to
work
in
certain
environments
for
certain
reasons
and
we're
definitely
trying
to
continue
employment
and,
of
course,
increase
staff
in
in
our
correctional
facilities.
Vice
chair
did
you
have
a
comment
or
I.
B
Do
madam
chair,
thank
you
and
I
I
would
just
say
I
echo
and
diddle
with
senator
gokuchi's
side.
It
is
my
hope-
and
I
thank
all
of
the
committee's
hope
that,
once
the
staffing
pattern
study
is
conducted,
that
we
truly
see
the
needs
that
our
prison
system
have,
because
we
all
think
we
know
what
those
needs
are,
but
we'll
definitely
have
a
much
better
groundwork
and
blueprint
for
the
director
and
his
his
leadership
staff
to
work
from,
and
then
we
can
get
the
staffing
levels
where
we
needed
to
be
at
the
camp.
B
I
think
the
camp
is
a
vital
part
of
our
our
prison
industry
that
we
need
and
and
the
only
way
we
can
open
it
and
open
it
safely-
is
to
give
them
the
staff
that
they
need
to
run
that
so
it's
safe
for
not
just
the
staff
but
for
the
inmates
that
live
there.
So
I
I
echo

further
indicated
they
were
pursuing

you,

for

question
this.
B
Is
for
the
department
this
is
in
in
my
district
and
I've
had
people
reach
out
to
me
regarding
this
particular
piece
of
property,
wanting
to
do
something
with
it,
one
of
the
used
buildings
etc,
and
it's
stayed
in
this
mothball
kind
of
situation
since
really
2008
and
and
I
that
when
they
have
followed
up
with
me
on
reasons
why
they
haven't
been
able
to
purchase
it,
etc.
B
There's
this
kind
of
convoluted
agreement
with
the
landowner
and
these
buildings
that
remain
empty
are
getting
further
into
decay,
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
perhaps
the
