A
Good
morning,
everyone
I
would
like
to
officially
call
this
meeting
to
order.
I
don't
have
a
gavel,
so
please
take
that
as
if
I
gaveled
in
and
we're
starting
promptly
at
eight
o'clock.
I
know
we
don't
have
all
of
our
members
right
now,
but
we
have
an
extremely
robust
until
pro
at
least
10
15
closer
to
probably
10
30,
to
make
sure
we
can
get
as
much
done
as
possible
and
then,
of
course,
give
the
senators
time
to
get
to
their
caucuses
and
floor
sessions.
A
So
with
that
good
morning
everyone
welcome
to
everyone
in
zoom
and
on
the
screen
and
those
that
will
physically
be
with
us
committee
secretary
when
you're
ready.
Please
take
the
role.
B
A
Here
and
please
mark
assemblywoman
tolls
president
when
she
arrives
okay,
and
so
with
that
we
have
a
number
well,
we
will
be
closing
the
budget
for
department
of
conservation
and
natural
resources.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair
nancy,
morris
fiscal
analysis
division.
The
first
budget
I
will
be
presenting
to
the
subcommittee
today
begins
on
page
three
of
the
closing
packet.
It
is
the
account
for
off
highway
vehicles
which
awards
grants
for
law
enforcement,
education
and
public
awareness,
off-highway
vehicles,
trail
maintenance
and
development,
and
the
prevention
of
environmental
and
wildlife
habitat
impacts.
The
budget
is
entirely
funded
with
off-highway
vehicle
registration
and
title
fees
collected
by
the
department
of
motor
vehicles.
C
The
decision
for
the
subcommittee
on
page
five
does
the
subcommittee
wish
to
recommend
approval
of
utilizing
reserves
of
seven
hundred.
Ninety
two
thousand
nine
hundred
seventy
four
dollars
each
year
of
the
twenty
one.
Twenty
three
biennium
to
fund
off
highway
vehicle
related
project
grants,
as
recommended
by
the
governor.
A
Could
you
please
continue
with
the
other
closing
items
and
we'll
take
one
motion
on
that?
Certainly
thank
you.
C
There
are
six
other
closing
items
noted
on
page
five,
one
with
the
technical
adjustments.
Fiscal
staff
recommends
other
closing
items
one
through
five
be
closed,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
and
other
closing
item.
Six
be
closed
with
the
noted
technical
adjustments,
fiscal
staff
requests
authority
to
make
other
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
A
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
During
the
hearing
on
this,
I
was
very
concerned
about
the
department's
reserve
funds
and
the
fact
that
they
hadn't
awarded
as
much
as
many
grants
as
we
would
hope
somebody
who
has
several
of
these
vehicles
that
we
pay
our
fees.
I
always
worry
that
either
we
use
them
appropriately
or
we
decrease
the
fees
or
we
eliminate
all
together.
So,
madam
chair,
I
really
I
approve
this.
D
These
two
motions,
the
you
know
the
decisions
and
the
other
closing
items,
but
I'd
respectfully
ask
that
that
perhaps
you
asked
for
a
letter
update
to
the
interim
ifc
regarding
how
many
of
these
grants
have
been
awarded
and
not
just
wait.
Two
years
to
find
out,
they
haven't
been
awarded
them
and
so
some
sort
of
a
follow
back
a
follow-up
in
six
months
or
so
to
see
where
this
process
is
going.
I'd
very
much
appreciate
it.
A
And
thank
you
for
that,
dr
titus.
I
know
that
we
don't
like
to
that.
Every
time
we
have
a
letter
written
that's
more
work
on
our
fiscal
staff
as
well
as
more
that
comes
in,
but
for
the
for
the
the
need
for
accuracy
and
accountability
and
transparency
and
and
again,
two
years
is
a
long
time
to
wait.
So
we
will
include
that
in
our
motion.
Thank
you
for
that
recommendation.
E
You,
madam
chair,
and
more
of
the
comment
and
anything
it.
It
really
concerns
me.
There
is
a
huge,
a
big
reserve
there.
Clearly,
the
law
enforcement
side
of
it
is
where
they
really
need
to
focus.
We've
got
problems
occurring
out
there,
whether
it's
vandalism,
people
actually
establish
new
roads
or
whatever
that's
a
very
small
amount.
If
they
would
really
focus
on
the
law
enforcement
side
of
it
as
much
as
some
of
the
other
trails
and
aspects,
they
can
clearly
spend
a
million
dollars.
There's
no
doubt
about
it.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
senator
any
additional
questions.
Okay
with
that,
I
will
accept
a
motion,
including
the
additional
recommendation
for
the
letter.
F
Madam
chair,
I
would
I
would
move
to
recommend
approval
of
utilizing
reserves
of
792
974
each
year
the
2123
biennium
to
fund
off-highway
vehicle-related
project
grants,
as
recommended
by
the
governor,
and
also
that
we
recommend
other
closing
items
one
through
five
be
closed,
as
recommended
by
the
governor.
Another
closing
item
six
be
closed
with
the
noted
technical
adjustments,
give
fiscal
staff
authority
to
make
technical
adjustments
that
necessary
and
that
we
request
a
letter
oven.
Let's
see
what
is
it
letterman
tent?
No.
G
F
B
Madam
chair,
yes,
that
is
sufficient.
We
will.
We
will
put
that
in
the
report
to
the
full
committee.
A
Thank
you.
I
have
a
motion
from
chair
dennis
and
a
second
from
assemblywoman
monroe
moreno,
any
further
discussion.
A
C
The
next
budget
begins
on
page
seven
of
the
closing
packet.
It
is
the
division
of
water
resources
which
conserves
protects,
manages
and
enhances
the
water
resources
of
nevada
through
the
appropriation
and
reallocation
of
public
waters.
There
are
two
major
closing
issues
in
this
budget.
The
first
is
a
budget
reduction
to
achieve
general
fund
savings
of
304
822
dollars
in
fiscal
year
22
and
three
hundred
and
thirteen
thousand
eight
hundred
and
eighteen
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
C
C
The
agency
manages
water
district
assessment
funding
for
99
water
basements
in
five
water-based
and
district
budgets
that
are
not
included
in
the
appropriations
or
authorizations
act
pursuant
to
nrs
533-295-1
water.
District
assessments
must
be
used
exclusively
for
expenses
incurred
in
the
administration,
operation
and
maintenance
of
the
particular
water
system
from
which
the
money
is
collected,
with
the
exception
of
an
activity
outside
of
the
basin.
C
If
the
activity
bears
a
direct
relationship
to
the
particular
groundwater
basin
in
which
the
money
is
collected,
the
governor
recommends
allocating
the
six
hundred
and
eighteen
thousand
six
hundred
forty
dollars
in
personnel
costs
to
the
five
water
basin
district
budgets,
based
on
the
share
of
total
assessment
revenue
projected
by
the
agency
for
each
water
basin
district
budget
in
the
2123
biennium.
As
shown
on
the
chart
on
the
top
of
page
9.
C
They
all
perform
both
statewide
work
and
work
specific
to
the
basins,
and
the
agency
indicates
the
majority
of
duties
of
the
five
positions
in
this
decision.
Unit
relate
to
individual
basins,
including
directly
monitoring,
supervising
and
conducting
work
that
supports
the
individual
basins
and
the
agency
has
mechanisms
in
place
to
track
work
performed
to
ensure
water.
District
assessments
are
only
utilized
for
work,
benefiting
the
related
basin.
C
The
agency
indicates
the
proposed
allocation
of
personnel
costs
included
in
this
decision
unit,
based
on
the
percentage
of
total
projected
revenue
for
each
basin
is
permissible
because
the
work
performed
by
these
positions
outside
of
the
basin
in
which
the
revenue
is
collected,
bears
a
direct
relationship
to
the
responsibilities
and
activities
of
the
state
engineer
regarding
the
particular
groundwater
basin,
from
which
the
revenue
was
collected.
In
addition,
the
agency
indicates
the
work
performed
by
the
physicians
supports
the
state
engineers
activity
within
all
assessed
basins.
C
The
assessments
recommended
to
replace
the
general
funds
total
six
hundred
and
eighteen
thousand
six
hundred
and
forty
dollars
over
the
biennium,
which
does
not
align
with
the
position
costs
for
the
five
positions
in
this
decision
unit.
The
agency
and
governor's
finance
office
have
requested
a
technical
adjustment
to
align
the
funding
in
this
decision
unit.
With
the
position
costs,
the
technical
adjustment
would
decrease
the
general
fund
savings
to
a
total
of
six
hundred
and
thirteen
thousand
one
hundred
fifty
six
dollars
over
the
2123
biennium.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
have
a
question
related
to.
B
A
A
Good
morning,
please
proceed
when
you're
ready.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair
michelin,
fairbank,
deputy
administrator
with
the
divisional
water
resources
for
the
record,
so
the
tracking
mechanisms
we
have
as
we
track
our
metrics
in
terms
of
work
perform
with
respect
to
a
variety
of
different
factors
that
may
be
water
right.
Applications
reviewed,
different
well
drilling
matters,
different
field
investigations,
various
hydrological
studies
and
reports,
and
review
conference
inventories
and
data.
B
All
of
those
are
different
mechanisms
that
our
office
tracks
work,
that's
being
performed
both
out
of
basins
and
within
assassin's
spaces,
and
so
within
those
particular
current,
currently
existing
tracking
mechanisms
in
which
we
we
keep
track
of
our
metrics
and
performance
within
the
agency.
That's
how
we
can
go
ahead
and
make
determinations
is
to
assure
that
the
work,
that's
the
proportional
amount
of
work
that's
being
performed
by
these
physicians,
is
being
allocated
to
those
particular
basins
or
for
the
benefit
of
those
assessed
basis.
B
So
it's
internal
managerial
rather
than
like
external
accountability.
B
So
we
we
do
have
as
part
of
our
budget
process
as
we
do
have
to
report
our
performance
metrics
in
our
activity
budget
and
we're
currently
in
the
process
of
updating
our
strategic
plan,
which
is
also
going
to
update
our
performance
metrics
and
how
we
report
that,
within
our
activity,
budget
to
have
more
comprehensive
and
thorough
reporting
and
reflection
of
the
various
types
of
work
that
the
agency
does.
B
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
also
have
some
real
concerns
about
how
we're
funding
this.
Clearly,
the
majority
of
the
basins
do
not
have
basin
assessments
in
place,
and
so
what
we're
proposing
to
do
here
is
a
significant
reduction
in
the
work
going
forward.
Here
we
are
in
a
drought
scenario.
A
number
you
know,
159
basins
that
are
not
designated
basins,
therefore
are
going
to
be
outside
the
funding
formula.
E
E
There's
a
three
dollar
minimum
fee
on
a
basin
assessment,
but
there's
no
cap
and
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
concern
out
there
that
we're
going
to
see
them
because
they
technically
can
raise
the
cap
on
these
designated
basins
and
yet
almost
two-thirds
of
the
basins
don't
have
a
mechanism
even
to
pay.
The
water
assessment
clearly
need
work
to
go
on.
I'm
very
concerned
about.
E
I
don't
think
we're
adequately
funding
this
and
I
think
we
need
some
general
fund
appropriation
and
course,
as
we
move
forward
and
with
some
of
the
infrastructure
funding,
I'm
going
to
plead
my
case
right
here.
Some
of
that
money
needs
to
go
to
division
of
water
resources.
We
need
to
bring
that
data
up
up
to
speed.
We've
got
data
that
was
delivered
their
horseback.
That
has
never
been
incorporated
in
the
files.
It's
that
bad.
So
thank
you.
A
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
absolutely
concur
with
senator
gokutiya's
comments,
but
also
need
a
clarification
on
on
page
nine
of
our
packet,
just
below
where
assemblywoman
peters
pointed
out.
There
was,
with
regards
to
the
long-term
impact
on
the
basins,
indicated
that,
in
support
to
support
personnel
costs,
it
would
decrease
the
amount
of
funding
available
to
support
basin
activities,
but
it
was
my
impression
that
these
personnel,
this
personnel,
these
folks,
would
actually
be
out
there
doing
the
investigation
and
the
studies
et
cetera.
That
was
the
argument
for
for
the
positions.
D
So
how
is
that
going
to
decrease
in?
I
understand
that
the
actual
funding
it
says
is
going
to
be
used
now
for
these
these
personnel,
but
I
thought
these
personnel
were
supposed
to
be
out
there.
Collecting
water
levels
investigating
travel
and
all
you
know
supporting
the
base
and
activities.
So
is
that
not
what
they're
going
to
be
doing.
B
Thank
you,
michelin,
fairbank
again
for
the
record,
so
the
positions
that
have
been
proposed
as
part
of
this
enhancement
unit
in
terms
of
reducing
our
federal
fund
expenditures,
are
managerial
positions
within
the
agency.
So
these
are
not
actual
field
staff
or
field
personnel.
Those
individuals
that
are
most
most
of
our
field
staff
are
water.
Commissioners
are
well
supervisors
as
well,
as
we
also
have
basic
level.
B
Engineers,
however,
and
proposed
here
are
those
supervisory
positions
manager
who
oversees
the
duties
and
responsibilities
of
both
classified
base
of
engineers,
as
well
as
wealth,
supervisors
and
water
commissioners
that
are
actually
once
boots
on
the
ground,
conducting
the
field
work.
So
in
response
to
center
height
or
someone
along
titus's
question
the
reality
is,
it
does
reduce
the
available
funding
to
be
able
to
perform
some
of
those
other
work
in
those
particular.
B
We
were
faced
with
that
that
difficult
decision
of
how
to
go
ahead
and
retain
our
limited
staff
that
we
have
to
perform
the
work
of
the
agency
that
could
also
be
justified
to
be
funded
through
this
alternative
funding
service.
D
A
You
assemblywoman
any
additional
questions:
okay,
not
seeing
any.
I
will
take
a
motion.
A
E
Madam
chair,
although
I
I
know
that
it's
way
late
in
the
budget
process,
but
I
can't
support
this.
We
clearly,
I
I
can't
see
replacing
general
funds
in
this
budget.
They
need
the
activity
if
we're
ever
going
to
have
any
answers.
So
I'm
going
to
have
to
oppose
the
motion.
A
Okay,
thank
you
senator
all
right
with
that
I'll
take
a
vote
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye,
anyone
opposed
nay,
so
I
have
a
name
from
assemblywoman
titus
and
from
senator
gokuchiya
and
from
assemblywoman
tolls.
Okay,
and
with
that
the
most
the
motion
passes.
Can
we
move
on
to
the
next
one.
C
C
C
C
Certainly,
there
are
three
other
closing
items
for
this
budget,
one.
I'm
sorry,
two
with
noted
technical
adjustments.
Fiscal
staff
recommends
other
closing
item
one
be
closed,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
and
other
closing
items.
Two
and
three
be
closed
with
the
noted
technical
adjustments,
fiscal
staff
request
authority
to
make
other
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
guess
either
way.
If,
if
assembly
bill
465
does
pass,
then
in
fact
the
funding
is
in
place.
I
think
it
is
critical.
You
know
the
south
fork
dam,
you
have
to
understand,
wasn't
a
real
ideal
site
to
build
a
dam.
It's
leaked
since
it's
been
put
in
there,
but
it
is
now
significant
flows
and
I
understand
it's
starting
to
carry
some
gravel
out
with
it.
E
You
know
that's
a
huge
so
where
that
water
is
coming
out,
it's
actually
washing
some
material
from
the
damn
face
or
somewhere
interior,
and
I
don't
have
to
tell
you
what
would
happen
if
you
turn
that
south
fork
damn
loose
the
city
of
carlin
on
down
the
river
palisade
is
really
in
trouble,
so
I
think
we
have
a
huge
liability
there.
We
need
to
understand.
E
F
I'm
sure
I'd
move
to
recommend
the
subcommittee
recommend
not
approving
budget
amendment.
Eight
two
one:
five:
zero
one:
four
one:
seven
one
for
general
funds
of
2.1
million

The
nevada
natural
heritage
budget
begins
on
page
13
of
the
closing
packet.
The
nevada
division
of
natural
heritage
collects
information
on
the
location's
biology
and
conservation
status
of
all
endangered
threatened,
sensitive
and
at-risk
plant
and
animal
species
in
nevada.
There
is
one
major
closing
issue
in
this
budget.
The
governor
recommends
general
fund
appropriations
of
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
fiscal
year,
22
to
fund
contract
scientists
to
support
nevada's
climate
initiative,
efforts
by
developing
a
method
to
estimate
carbon
emissions
and
sequestrations
in
nevada's
various
ecosystems.
C
Pursuant
to
nrs445
380,
an
annual
report
concerning
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
reductions
in
the
state
is
required,
and
the
report
must
include
a
statewide
inventory
of
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
projection
of
annual
greenhouse
gas
emissions
in
nevada
for
the
20
years
immediately
following
the
date
of
the
report,
the
annual
report
must
also
identify
policies
that
could
achieve
emissions
reductions
and
a
qualitative
assessment
of
whether
such
policies
support
the
long-term
reduction
of
greenhouse
gas
emissions
to
zero
or
near
zero
by
twenty.
Fifty.
C
The
dcnr
has
indicated
the
data
used
to
compile
the
state's
annual
greenhouse
gas
emissions
report
was
not
representative
of
heavily
was
representative
of
heavily
forested
or
agricultural
lands
typical
of
other
regions
in
the
u.s,
and
was
not
reflective
of
nevada's
landscape.
Specific
models
for
carbon
flow
in
nevada's
ecosystems
do
not
exist,
creating
gaps
and
data
included
in
the
report.
According
to
the
agency.
C
C
As
of
april
26
2021
and
the
agency
indicated
it
was
considering
contracting
with
a
carbon
sequestration
analyst
to
assist
the
agency
with
understanding
existing
data,
interacting
with
experts
to
develop
a
natural
and
working
lands.
Action
plan
similar
to
those
developed
in
california
and
north
carolina
and
funding
projects
and
on-the-ground
research
in
order
to
gather
baseline
data
and
quality
quantify
carbon
flows
in
the
state's
ecosystems.
C
C
Specific
cost
estimates
supporting
the
200
000
are
not
available
yet,
as
the
agency
has
not
finalized
its
plans
at
this
time,
the
agency
indicated
that
it
anticipated
utilizing
the
funding
in
both
years
of
the
2123
biennium,
which
fiscal
staff
would
note
would
require.
Inclusion
of
language
in
the
appropriations
act
authorizing
the
transfer
of
general
funds
between
years.
C
C
The
decision
for
the
subcommittee
on
page
16
is:
does
the
subcommittee
wish
to
recommend
approval
of
general
fund
appropriations
of
200
000
in
fiscal
year,
22
to
fund
contract
scientists
to
support
nevada's
climate
initiative
efforts,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
and
recommend
approval
of
language
in
the
appropriations
act
to
allow
for
the
transfer
of
general
funds
from
fiscal
year
22
to
fiscal
year?
23
for
this
purpose,.
C
E
You,
madam
chair,
and
I
apologize
for
taking
so
much
time,
we'll
try
and
be
brief,
but
on
this
I
guess
it
really
concerns
me.
Clearly.
We
have
to
do
something
but
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
when
realistically,
we
will
probably
spend
ten
million
dollars
fighting
forest
fires
this
summer
and
what's
the
carbon
flows
connected
there,
all
right
so
yeah,
it's
a
start.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
Senator
senator
brooks.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
building
upon
what
senator
gokuchi
said
that
this
this
study
actually
leverages
some
of
the
monies
that
we
received
as
a
grant
from
the
climate
alliance.
Her
yes,
climate
alliance,
and
it
has
crossover
and
rangeland.
D
Yeah,
just
also
briefly,
I
I
I'm
supportive
of
this
too,
because
I
think
the
key
component
here
is
that
we
do
lack
data
relevant
to
nevada,
and
I
think
that
that's
what
this
is
all
about,
and
I
think
it's
important
when
we
start
developing
some
policies
and
changes
and
focusing
our
money
is
that
we
need
we
need
data
relevant
to
nevada.
So
I'm
supportive
of
this
also
thank
you.
F
I'm
sure
I'd
move
that
the
subcommittee
recommend
approval
of
general
fund
appropriations,
200
000
fiscal
year,
22
to
fund
contract
scientists
to
support
nevada's
climate
initiative
efforts,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
and
recommend
approval
of
language
in
the
appropriations
act
to
allow
for
the
transfer
general
funds
from
22
to
23.
For
this
purpose.
F
Additionally,
that
the
subcommittee
recommend
other
closing
items
one
and
two
be
closed,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
and
request
authority
to
make
other
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
A
G
G
The
division
of
state
parks
plans
develops
and
maintains
a
system
of
27
parks,
recreation
areas
and
historic
sites
for
the
use
and
enjoyment
of
residents
and
visitors.
The
budget
is
primarily
funded
with
general
fund
appropriations
and
visitor
user
fees.
There
are
four
major
closing
issues
in
this
budget.
The
first
is
a
budget
reduction
measure.
G
G
F
I'm
sure
a
move
that
the
subcommittee
recommend
approval
the
governor's
recommendation
to
replace
general
fund
appropriations
of
1
million
in
each
year
of
the
21
23,
by
name
with
increased
visitor
fee
revenue.
A
G
G
The
state
park's
annual
visitation
increased
from
3.1
million
to
4
million
visitors,
and
this
has
necessitated
additional
cleaning
supplies
and
utility
costs,
facilities,
maintenance
and
other
expenses
related
to
operating
the
parks.
The
table
on
page
20
summarizes
the
recommended
funding
included
in
the
four
decision
units.
G
The
agency
provided
supporting
documentation
indicating
that
decision
units
e-256
and
e-262
were
slightly
overstated
with
noted
technical
adjustments,
the
additional
operating
supplies,
building
maintenance
and
utility
costs
would
total
237
thousand
and
eleven
dollars
each
year
of
the
upcoming
biennium.
G
The
agency
has
relied
in
part
on
funds
that
are
set
aside
in
the
account
for
maintenance
of
state
parks
and
the
account
for
maintenance
of
state
parks,
facilities
and
grounds
which
are
two
non-executive
accounts
outside
of
this
budget
to
support
utilities,
supplies
and
other
reaching
costs
in
excess
of
the
amounts
budgeted
in
the
state
parks
budget
in
recent
years.
G
Additionally,
currently,
there
is
not
sufficient
authority
in
the
account
for
maintenance
of
state
parks
by
individual
park
to
fund
the
maintenance
cost
costs
that
are
recommended
in
decision
unit
e262.
However,
if
senate
bill
53
passes,
then
this
would
provide
additional
flexibility
to
access
those
funds.
G
During
the
budget
hearing,
the
agency
indicated
that
essentially
that
well
it
is
the
agency's
preference
to
maintain
these
accounts
for
unforeseen
maintenance
and
large
maintenance
projects,
while
that
is
the
agency's
preference.
The
statute
does
not
preclude
the
agency
from
using
funding
in
these
accounts
to
support
routine
costs.
G
Considering
the
growing
maintenance
needs
at
the
state
parks,
the
agencies
pass,
reliance
on
the
maintenance
accounts
to
pay
for
routine
costs
in
excess
of
amounts
budgeted
and
the
flexibility
that
senate
bill
53
would
provide.
The
subcommittee
may
wish
to
recommend
a
lot
of
intent,
be
issued
to
direct
the
agency
to
report
to
the
interim
finance
committee
on
an
annual
basis
during
the
upcoming
biennium
on
the
costs
incurred,
in
the
account
for
maintenance
of
state
parks
and
in
the
account
remaining
state
parks,
facilities
and
grounds.
F
Madam
chair,
I
would
move
that
the
subcommittee
recommend
approval
of
the
governor's
reconditioned
support,
increased
ongoing
operating
and
routine
maintenance
cost.
With
the
noted
technical
adjustments
funded
with
additional
general
fund
appropriations
of
237
thousand
eleven
dollars
in
each
year
of
the
2123
biennium
and
issue.
A
letter
of
intent
directing
the
agency
to
report
on
an
annual
basis
to
the
interim
finance
committee
on
costs
incurred
for,
in
the
account
for
maintenance
of
state
parks
and
in
the
account
for
maintenance
state
of
state
park
facilities
and
grounds.
A
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
just
a
brief
comment
on
this.
I
I
am
concerned
as
we
raise
the
fees
in
these
parks
and
we're
already
seeing
a
huge
increase
in
people
not
actually
visiting
the
parks
but
actually
going
out
on
public
lands.
Forest
lands
receiving
some
complaints
in
many
areas
about
people
are
traveling
with
the
pandemics.
E
So
I
think
it's
critical
that
we
do
have
a
report
back
from
them
how
this
is
working
back
during
the
interim,
because
I'm
afraid
our
revenues
are
going
to
decline
a
little
bit
clearly
we're
going
to
have
additional
impacts
with
more
people
to
the
facilities.
So
I
am
concerned
this
could
get
ugly.
Thank
you.
A
G
Thank
you,
man,
I'm
sure
the
next
major
closing
issue
is
on
page
21.,
due
to
declines
in
room
tax
revenue
collected
by
the
commission
on
tourism.
The
governor
recommends
eliminating
a
433
131
dollar
transfer
from
the
commission
on
tourism
in
fiscal
year,
2022,
reducing
the
transfer
revenue
by
twenty
nine
thousand
seven
hundred
and
eight
dollars
in
fiscal
year
2023
and
adding
general
fund
appropriations
of
four
hundred
and
three
thousand
four
hundred
and
twenty
three
dollars
in
fiscal
year,
2022,
which
would
offset
a
portion
of
the
reduced
transfer
revenue
to
support
seasonal
staffing.
G
During
the
budget
hearing,
the
agency
indicated
that
it
relies
on
the
seasonal
staff
to
keep
the
parks
clean
and
operational
and
that
the
general
funds
replacement
of
the
room
tax
revenue
is
critical
to
keeping
the
parks
open
in
fiscal
year
2022..
A
A
G
G
The
2019
legislature
approved
one-time
general
fund
appropriations
of
twenty
thousand
dollars
in
each
year
of
the
current
biennium
to
support
the
development
of
the
site,
and
this
funding
would
allow
the
agency
to
continue
its
2021
budget
hearing
that
it
was
considering
supplementing
the
work,
possibly
with
federal,
grant
funds
to
continue
improving
the
site,
and
this
would
augment
the
amount
of
work
that
they
would
be
able
to
accomplish.
G
Sure
the
other
items
are
on
page
23.
There
are
seven
total.
The
last
is
a
technical
adjustment
to
align,
building
rent
costs.
Fiscal
staff
recommends
other
closing
items
one
through
six
be
closed,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
and
other
closing
item.
Seven
be
closed
with
the
noted
technical
adjustments
and
request
authority
to
make
other
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
F
Let
me
make
sure
I
get
that
one:
okay,
that
recommend
approval
of
the
governor's
recommendation
for
one-time
general
fund
appropriations
of
nineteen
thousand
seven
hundred
twenty
one
dollars
in
each
year
of
the
2123
biennium
to
continue
developing
the
elton
school
house
historic
site
and
that
the
that
other
items
one
through
six
be
closed.
As
recommended
by
the
governor
and
other
closing
item.
Seven
be
closed
with
the
noted
technical
adjustments
and
request
authority
to
make
the
first
step
to
make
other
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
A
G
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
The
next
budget
begins
on
page
25.
This
is
the
division
of
forestry.
The
nevada
division
of
forestry
is
responsible
for
supervising,
managing
and
coordinating
all
forestry
fire
and
watershed
work
on
state
and
privately
owned
lands
within
nevada.
The
budget
is
primarily
funded
with
general
fund
appropriations
and
federal
grant
funds.
G
The
governor
recommends
continuing
one
management
analyst
and
three
forester
positions
which
would
be
funded
with
general
fund
appropriations
and
funding
from
nv
energy
over
the
upcoming
biennium
at
the
june
25th
2020
ifc
meeting,
the
committee
approved
acceptance,
acceptance
of
a
5
million
revenue
contract
between
the
division
of
forestry
and
mv
energy,
and
an
allocation
of
4.8
million
from
the
sb
508
appropriation
to
match
the
funds
from
envy
energy
and
to
conduct
multiple
wildfire
prevention
projects
within
the
company's
electric
service
territory
and
adjacent
landscapes
and
communities.
G
G
G
Because
the
positions
were
originally
funded
with
sp
508
funds
to
match
the
nv
energy
funding.
If
the
subcommittee
wishes
to
recommend
approval
to
continue
funding
for
these
positions,
fiscal
staff
recommends
replacing
the
general
fund
appropriations
supporting
approximately
50
percent
of
the
position.
G
Costs
with
funds
from
the
sp
508
allocation
and
including
language
in
the
2021
appropriations
act
require
the
transfer
of
funds
from
the
sv
508
allocation
set
aside
in
the
contingency
account
to
this
budget
to
support
these
positions
in
the
2021-23
biennium,
as
they
were
originally
funded
as
a
portion
of
the
state
match
to
envy
energy.
G
A
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
The
next
major
closing
issue
is
on
page
28..
The
governor
recommends
transferring
transferring
a
vacant
camp
area
supervisor
position
from
the
forestry
conservation
camp
budget
and
reclassifying
that
position
to
an
education
and
information
officer.
This
would
be
funded
with,
as
recommended
with
general
fund
appropriations
and
honor
camp
seats
from
the
conservation
camp
budget,
fiscal
staff
notes.
The
recommendation
contains
various
errors.
The
table
on
page
29
summarizes
the
recommended
adjustments
to
align
the
position,
steps
and
start
dates
and
funding
source
to
effectuate
this.
G
This
recommendation,
fiscal
staff,
recommends
technical
adjustments
to
adjust
the
position
start
date,
steps
and
funding
source
with
the
intended
start
date
of
july
1st
2021
at
a
step
7
and
replacing
honor
camp
receipts
with
general
fund
appropriations,
which
results
in
additional
net
cost
of
sixty
five
thousand
six
hundred
and
ninety
dollars.
G
Does
the
subcommittee
wish
to
recommend
approval
to
transfer
in
a

I'm
sure
I
would
move
the

you,

I'm
sure
the
next
major
closing
issue
in
this
budget.
The
last
one
is
on
page
29..
The
governor
recommends
reducing
uniform
vouchers
for
forestry
personnel
as
a
budget
reduction
measure
to
realize
general
fund
savings
of
29
thousand
and
five
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
Twenty
twenty
two
and
twenty
eight
thousand
one
hundred
and
thirty
one
dollars
in
fiscal
year
2023
during
the
budget
hearing,
the
agency
indicated
that
it
has
historically
reverted
a
portion
of
the
budgeted
uniform
allowances
each
year.
There's
a
table
on
the
bottom
of
page
30.
G
The
decision
for
the
subcommittee
is
on
page
30.
Does
the
subcommittee
wish
to
recommend
approval
of
the
governor's
recommendation
to
reduce
general
fund
appropriations
for
uniforms
by
twenty
nine
thousand
and
five
dollars
in
fiscal
year
2022
and
twenty
eight
thousand
one
hundred
and
thirty
one
dollars
in
fiscal
year
2023
as
a
budget
reduction
measure.
D
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that
their
when
it,
when
it
talks
about
having
a
delay
and
and
purchasing
some
of
their
uniform,
all
their
safety
apparatus
and
everything
they
need
will
be
available
for
them.
Regardless
of
the
actual
uniforms,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
there's
no
limit
to
the
to
their

The
budget
is
primarily
funded
with
general
fund
appropriations,
federal
funds
and
reimbursements
for
firefighting
and
emergency
response,
provided
on
lands
outstanding
outside
of
the
state's
jurisdiction.
There
are
two
major
closing
issues
in
this
budget.
The
first
is
a
budget
reduction
measure.
The
governor
recommends
reducing
general
fund
appropriations
by
286
660
in
each
year
of
the
2021,
the
23
biennium
to
reduce
operating
supply,
expenditures
for
fire
suppression
work
during
the
budget
hearing,
the
agency
indicated
that
it
did
not
anticipate
the
recommended
reductions
would
impact
its
firefighting
operations.

to
be
overstated

the

that
appear
to

expenditure
reductions
of
approximately
500

in
each
year
of
the
upcoming

would
be
appropriate
in

They
work
on
forestry
and
resource
conservation
projects
and
provide
labor
for
fire
suppression,
work
and
the
program
provides
job
skills
and
training
and
practical
work
experience
and
is
funded
primarily
with
general
fund
appropriations
and
revenue
that
is
generated
from
the
camp
projects.
There
are
two
major
closing
issues
in
this
budget.
The
first
is
a
budget
reduction
measure.
The
governor
recommends
reducing
uniform
expenses
for
conservation,
camp
personnel
by
99,
928
and
staff
training
expenses
by
57
142
over
the
upcoming
biennium.
G
G
During
the
budget
hearing,
the
agency
indicated
that
the
funding
would
still
support
the
necessary
training
for
life
and
safety.
However,
in
follow-up,
the
agency
indicated
that
it
may
not
be
sufficient
to
support
the
travel
and
other
related
expenses
that
are
incurred
by
employees
that
provide
some
in-house
trainings.
G
With
regard
to
the
uniforms,
the
agency
has
historically
reverted
a
portion
of
the
budgeted
uniform
allowances
each
year
in
this
budget,
the
average
is
approximately
30
percent,
as
noted
previously,
employees
that
are
required
to
wear
a
uniform
must
be
reimbursed
for
the
expense
eventually.
So
this
is
more
of
a
deferral
of
costs.
If,
if
the
employees
are
required
to
purchase
their
uniforms
eventually,
they
would
have
to
be
paid
back.

A
G
The
elite
conservation
camp
has
been
closed
since
july
2020
and
the
executive
budget
recommends
funding
operating
costs
of
150
124
in
fiscal
year
2022
and
fiscal
year,
2023
for
the
forestry
program
at
the
elite
conservation
camp,
and
this
equates
to
approximately
85
percent
of
the
fiscal
year.
2020
actual
costs
incurred.
G
G
The
agency
provided
a
report
as
of
april
30
2021
and
indicated
that
it
has
continued
limited
camp
operations
out
of
its
elite
industrial
shop,
using
its
crew
supervisors
to
conduct
camp
project
work.
However,
it
is,
has
not
been
able
to
utilize
inmates
for
camp
projects
or
to
provide
fire
crews
for
the
camp
since
it's
from
the
camp
since
its
closure
reclassifying
the
ely
state,
prison
was
to
a
medium
security
facility
was
mentioned
as
a
possible
solution
to
the
staffing
shortage
that
caused
the
closure.
G
However,
the
governor's
finance
office
indicated
that
reclassifying
the
prison
is
not
being
considered
for
the
upcoming
biennium.
Therefore,
it
is
uncertain
whether
the
camp
will
reopen
or
resume
normal
operations
in
the
2021-23
biennium,
while
the
activities
have
been
reduced.
The
agency
is
still
incurring
operating
costs
for
the
camp
due
to
the
uncertainty
of
the
timing
of
the
reopening
of
the
camp
and
the
ability
of
the
division
to
employ
inmates
in
the
upcoming
biennium
for
camp
projects
and
fire
crews.
G
Yes,
we
have
three
other
closing
items.
The
third,
I
would
know
a
technical
adjustment
to
align
the
position
being
transferred
fiscal
staff,
recommends
other
closing
items,
one
and
two
because,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
and
other
closing
item,
three
be
closed
with
the
noted
technical
adjustments
and
request
authority
to
make
other
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
it
is
unfortunate
that
we
aren't
going
to
find
a
way
to
open
the
ely
conservation
camp.
It
doesn't
look
like
the
the
other
hearing
from
dlc.
It
looks
like
at
this
time.
It
won't
happen,
I'm
afraid
we're
really
going
to
recognize
that
huge
hole
that
it
puts
in
eastern
and
central
nevada,
especially
when
it
comes
to
fire
suppression.
E
Those
nine
crews
typically
travel
all
over
the
west,
so
I'm
concerned
about
it,
but
there's
no
other
recourse
other
than
fund
it
and
hope
we
see
a
break
there,
but
I
just
to
inform
the
committee.
I
don't
think
it's
going
to
happen.
I
think
the
camp's
going
to
stay
closed.
Thank
you.
F
I'm
sure
I
would
move
that
we
recommend
approval
of
the
governor's
recommendation
to
fund
operations
of
the
elite
conservation
camp
forestry
program
at
and
fifty
thousand
one
hundred
twenty
four
dollars,
which
is
approximately
hundred
and
five
thousand
eighty
seven
dollars
from
the
general
fund
per
year
for
the
fisc
for
the
2123
biennium
and
to
recommend
issuing
a
letter
of
an
intent
to
the
agency
to
report
on
a
semi-annual
basis
to
the
interim
finance
committee
during
the

the
status

G
G
G
The
agency
has
adjusted
its
assessments
charged
to
participants

adjusted
its
target
revenue
for
the
upcoming
biennium.
G
The
table
on

A
D
Madam
chair,
so
on
page
46,
just
above
the
graph
there's
a
comment
that
note
that
the
non-participating
jurisdictions
do
not
pay
their
assessed
rate
and
therefore
do
not
receive
assistance
with
incidence
response
cost,
but
they
do
receive
assistance.
With
response
correct,
I
mean
they're
they're,
the
nevada
forestry
is
going
to
help
in
whatever
way
they
can,
even
if
they
haven't
paid,
but
then
they're
going
to
be
responsible
for
the
cost.
Correct.
G
Yes,
I
apologize
kimber,
ellsworth,
fiscal
analysis
division.
Yes,
that
is
correct,
so
the
policies
will
still
respond
and
provide
assistance
with
responding
to
incidents.
However,
the
non-participating
jurisdiction
jurisdictions
have
to
pay
feedback
for
the
costs.
F
Madam
chair,
I
knew
the
subcommittee
recommend
approval
to
increase
county
participation
fund
revenue
to
1.8
million
in
each
year
of
the
2123
biennium,
based
on
the
current
program,
participation
and
updated
assessments,
with
the
noted
technical
adjustments
to
support
the
wildland
fire
protection
program
and
that
other
closing
item
that
the
other
closing
item
be
closed.
With
the
noted
technical
adjustments
and
request
authority
for
staff
to
make
other
technical
adjustments,
that's
necessary
I'll.
Second,
the
motion.
A
We
have
a
motion
by
chair
dennis
and
a
second
by
assemblywoman
monroe
moreno,
any
further
discussion
on
the
motion
not
seeing
any.
I
will
call
for
a
vote
all
those
in
favor.
Please
say
I
anyone
opposed
and
the
motion
passes
unanimously
with
the

are
present.
Can
we
move
on
to
the
next
budget.
Please.
G
The
nurseries
budget
is
an
enterprise
fund
that
supports
various
forestry
programs,
including
the
nursery
program
which
offers
low-cost
native
or
adapted
plant
species.
The
seedback
bank
program,
which
provides
seed
equipment
and
other
materials
to
restore

fire
damaged

and
the
forest
products
utilization
program,
which
sells
wood
chips
and
other
wood
products
that
are
harvested
during
fuel
reduction
projects.
G
Funding
for
the
programs
comes
primarily
from
nursery
and
seed
sales
and
equipment
rental
fees.
There
is
one
major
closing
issue
in
this
budget.
The
governor
recommends
funding,
55,
deferred
maintenance
projects
at
the
agency's
washoe
valley
and
las
vegas
nurseries,
funded
with
reserves
of
three
hundred
and
forty
thousand
two
hundred
and
ten
dollars
in
fiscal
year
2022
and
during
the
march
11
2021
budget
hearing,
the
agency
explained
that
it
had
a
backlog
of
deferred
maintenance
projects.
G
In
response
to
follow-up
questions,
the
agency
provided
an
updated
list
with
the
anticipated
completion
timeline
for
the
projects
that
are
recommended
in
the
executive
budget,
based
on
the
agency's
current
capacity,
and
this
identified
15
projects
that
are
either
no
longer
necessary
or
not
anticipated
to
be
completed
in
the
fiscal
year
2022
or
fiscal
year.
2023.
G
The
costs
of
the
40
remaining
projects
which
the
agency
indicates
are
anticipated
to
be
completed
by
the
end
of
the
biennium,
is
estimated
to
total
220
360
dollars.
These
are
included
in
the
attachment
beginning
on
page
53..
G
Considering
the
agency
does
not
anticipate
completing
all
recommended
deferred
maintenance
projects
in
the
2021-23
biennium.
It
would
be
reasonable
to
reduce
the
utilization
of
reserves
for
deferred
maintenance
projects
to
220
360,
to
fund
the
40
projects
that
are
anticipated
to
be
completed,
which
would
increase
the
projected
reserves
at
the
end
of
the
biennium
fiscal
staff
notes.
If
the
agency
determines
at
a
later
date
that
additional
projects
can
be
accomplished,
the
agency
may
submit
a
work
program
revision
to
the
interim
finance
committee
for
consideration
to
transfer
additional
reserves
to
support
the
additional
projects.
G
The
decision
for
the
subcommittee
is
on
page
51.
G
G
Yes,
the
other
closing
items
are
on
page
51..
There
are
four
other
closing
items.
The
fourth
is
a
technical
adjustment
to
replace
nursery
sales
revenue
with
reserves
in
decision
unit
e-251,
which
funds
additional
in-state
and
out-of-state
travel
expenses.
Fiscal
staff
recommends
other
closing
items
one
through
three
be
closed,
as
recommended
by
the
governor.
Another
closing
item
four
be
closed
with
the
noted
technical
adjustments
and
request
authority
for
staff
to
make
other
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
D
Chair
and
you
may
be
able
to
answer
this,
but
we
might
have
to
have
the
department
answer
it.
I'm
curious
about
part
of
the
one
of
the
problems
here
is
that
they
haven't
had
the
nursery
sales
revenue,
and
so
we
have
to
make
up
for
that.
We
went
out
there
the
other
day,
hopefully
to
buy
some
product
from
the
the
east
lake
nursery
and
it
was
closed
and
I'm
just
wondering
with,
and
I
understand
the
pandemic
enclosures
etc.

the
question

forester

Yes,
we
usually
typically
open
the
nursery
in
may,
I
think
in
mid
may
may
15th.
This
is
the
time
when
we're
planting
all
the
plants
getting
everything
ready
for
sales,
so
we
do
anticipate
opening
within
the
next
week.
You
can
call
ahead
for
they're
open
they're
out
there
they're
doing
all
the
planting,
so
you
could
call
ahead
for
a
private
showing
if
you,
if
you
wished
as
well
in
the
interim.
D
B
To
everyone,
if
that's
available
to
everyone,
if
they're
available
to
assist.
A
F
Madam
chair,
I
would
move
to
recommend
approval
to
fund
the
reduced
number
of
deferred
maintenance
projects,
reducing
projects
from
55
to
40,
at
a
cost
of
220
306
dollars
in
fiscal
year,
22
funded
with
reserves
and,
additionally,
that
other
closing
items
one
through
three
be
closed,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
and
other
closing
item.
Four
be
closed
with

develop

There
are
two
major
issues
in
this
budget.
Excuse
me,
the
the
bureau
of
air
pollution
control
and
the
bureau
of
air
quality
planning
work
to
maintain
air
quality
and
protect
health
and
safety
through
planning,
air
quality,
monitor,
monitoring
permitting
and
compliance
assurance.
This
budget
is
primarily
funded
with
fees
and
federal
grant
funds.
G
State
agency
indicated
during
the
budget
hearing
that
it
had
staff
working
on
a
limited
part-time
basis
on
these
reporting
requirements
and
that
it
was
using
data
that
is
aggregated
at
the
federal
level
based
on
national
averages,
which
does
not
provide
a
very
state
specific
or
accurate
data
for
the
purposes
of
reporting.
G
The
agency
also
indicated
that
the
transportation
sector
is
the
largest
contributor
to
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
Therefore,
the
funds
from
the
petroleum
fund
would
be
an
appropriate
funding
source
for
this
position.
G
Assembly
bill
452
would
require
a
transfer
of
money
from
the
petroleum
fund
to
support
the
expenses
associated
with
preparing
the
required
report
on
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
including
the
personnel
costs.

additional

revenue
transferred
in

hazard
prevention
program
budgets,
to
reclassify
four
positions
to
align
the
position,
classifications
with
the
duties
and
responsibilities
performed
by
those
positions.
This
includes
four
decision
units.
This
decision
unit

reclassify
an
environmental
scientist
position
two
to
an
environmental
scientist.
Three
decision
units

B
Thank
you,
madam

I
have
a
brief
question
for
the
agency.
I
was
just
wondering
with
the
reimbursable
spending
how
much
has
been
reimbursed
by
the
company
so
far.
B
Thank
you
for
the
question
greg,
lovato,
administrator
and
dp
for
the
record.
I
don't
have
that
number
with
me
right
now:
we've
been
receiving
reimbursement
since
deferral
of
the
site
came
to
ndep
in
february
of
2018..
B
I
believe
it's
reached
close
to
a
million
or
above
is
the
number
I'm
thinking,
but
we
can
provide
that
information
to
you
as
follow-up.
Thank
you
and
that's
the
estimate
is,
is
fine.
Could
you
also
just
speak
to
what's?
What's
the
timeline
like
to
turn
around
reimbursement
once
it's
submitted.
B
Thank
you,
someone
watts
so
gregor
for
the
record,
so
we
ordinarily
invoice
the
company
for
expenditures
that
ndep
has
spent.
You
know
on
a
quarterly
basis
and
we
ordinarily
receive
payment
within
45
to
60
days
and
we
haven't
had
any
late
payments
since
deferral.
A
Thank
you
assemblyman,
any
further
questions,
not
seeing
any.
I
will
entertain.
Oh,
you
know
what
let
me
back
up
just
one
moment
please,
when
you
submit
that
information,
can
you
make
sure
that
you
submit
it
to
the
committee
so
that
all
members
are
have
access
to
it.
B
Thank
you,

Okay,
the
next
major
closing
issue
in

recommends
additional
funding
of
5.1

funded
with
fees
from
the
hazardous
waste
management
budget

the

on
an
as
needed
basis
for
emergency
cleanups.
G
During
the
february
9th
2021
budget
hearing,
the
agency
explained
that
the
recommended
funding
would
support
existing
projects
involving
historical
releases,
for
which
no

party
has
been
identified
and
provide
funding
to
address
hazardous
substance
releases

mine,
fluid
events

events.
On

G
In
response
to
questions
following
the
february
9th
budget
hearing,
the

the
recommended
funding
would
support
small

the
classifications
are
going
to
it's
a
change
in
terminology
and
that's
consistent
across
several
agencies
that
we've
seen
in
the
last
several
budgets
is.
That
is
that
clear.
Is
that
correct.
G
My
my
understanding
with
the
position
reclassifications
here
are
that
the
agency
is
trying
to
align
the
position
duties,
that
the
position
is
currently
performing
with
the
classification,
with
the
appropriate
classification,
so
they're,
just
trying
to
align
with,
say
other
professional
engineers
that
are
performing
similar
duties.
D
G
No
fiscal
analysis,
division
for
the
record,
the
in
the
table.
It
does
show
us
as
negative
numbers,
but
this
is
because
the
agency
is
funding
the
cost
increase
with
the
utilization
of
reserves.
So
all
of
the
amounts
shown
in
the
table
on
page
90
are
actual
increased
costs,
but
they're
reflected
as
negative
numbers
due
to
the
utilization
of
reserve.
I.
G
Okay,
thank
you,
madam
sure.

reclassification
of
a

align
the

the

Fiscal

has
completed
technical
adjustments

on
the
first
page
of
this

reducing
savings
in
this

unit
by
eight
thousand
seven
hundred
and
twelve
dollars
to
three
thousand
four
hundred
forty
448
over

based
on

the

indicates,
funding
is
anticipated
to
be
sufficient
to
support

B
The
decision
for
the

does
the

wish
to
recommend
approval

six

forty
two

over

23
biennium,
and
if
the

wish
to
consider

At

would
recommend

One

be

requests
authority

A
F
I'm
sure
I'd
move
the
subcommittee
recommend
approval
of
decision
units
e683
and
six
e685
reducing
18
travel
costs,
with
the

Another

four
be

request

I'll.
A
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
The
final
budget
for
today
is
the
nevada,
taco
regional
planning
agency
budget.
This
regulates
structures
that
house
gaming
establishments
in
the
lake
tahoe
basin.
This
is
a
staff
closed
budget
and
the
subcommittee
has
not
previously
reviewed
this
budget.
There
are
no
major
closing
issues.
One
other
closing
item,
which
appears
reasonable
fiscal
staff,
recommends
this
budget
be
closed,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
and
request
authority
to
make
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
F
A
A
A
A
Okay,
I
don't
believe
so
so
with
that
I
will
go
ahead
and
close
public
comment.
I
would
just
like
to
thank
all
the
members
and,
of
course,
our
tremendous
fiscal
staff.
That
always
just
is
amazing
and
keeps
us
going,
but
just
so
you
know
when
I
mentioned
earlier,
when
we
first
opened
when
I
said
we
will
work,
continue
till
10
30.,
that's
because
the
anticipation
was
that
we
would
not
be
able
to
finish,
and
we
had
already
discussed
rolling
items
over
to
the
next
day.
