A
Perfect,
thank
you
very
much.
All
right
we'll
go
ahead
and
begin
our
public
safety,
natural
resources,
transportation.
Joint
subcommittee
this
morning.
A
Let
me
make
sure:
could
we
because
secretary
police
call
the
roll.
B
A
I'd
like
to
remind
everyone
that,
while
we
as
committee
members
and
some
staff
are
here
in
the
committee
room,
the
zoo
meeting
is
still
being
hosted
for
staff
and
agency
representatives
to
participate
remotely.
This
is
due
to
the
current
capacity
limits
on
the
number
of
people
that
can
attend
committee
meetings
in
person.
Those
wishing
to
attend
committee
meetings
in
person
can
register
to
attend
by
visiting
the
legislature's
nellis
website.
A
Also
just
a
reminder,
those
on
zoom
to
keep
yourself
muted
when
you're,
not
speaking,
and
for
those
in
the
room
to
turn
off
or
mute
any
electronic
devices.
You
have
I'm
going
to
do
that.
While
I'm
thinking
about
it
today,
we
will
be
closing
six
budgets
in
the
office
of
the
military
and
I
think
that's
it.
So,
let's
begin
we're
going
to
begin
with
the.
As
I
mentioned,
it's
the
office
of
the
military,
so
the
staff
will
lead
us
through
this.
C
C
There
are
three
major
closing
issues
for
this
budget:
the
first
major
closing
issue,
the
governor
recommends
federal
funds
of
2.6
million
k-12
funding
of
1.2
million
and
general
fund
reductions
of
190
000
over
the
2021-23
biennium
to
continue
the
implementation
of
the
nevada
national
guard.
U
challenge
program
which
was
initially
approved
by
the
2019
legislature,
combined
with
the
amount
included
in
the
base
budget.
C
The
table
on
page
4
provides
the
governor
recommended
budget
for
the
program
in
each
year
of
the
2021-23
biennium
and
just
for
background
information.
The
2019
legislature
approved
senate
bill
295,
now
codified
in
chapter
388
of
nrs
created
the
nevada
national
guard.
You
challenge
program
to
be
administered
by
the
office
of
the
military
for
the
purposes
of
educating
training
and
mentoring,
youth
who
have
dropped
out
or
are
at
risk
of
dropping
out
of
high
school
and
sets
for
the
requirements
for
the
operations
of
the
program.
C
The
national
guard
bureau
provides
funding
of
75
percent
of
the
cost
of
the
program
with
matching
state
funding
required
for
the
remaining
25
percent
to
assist
with
the
state
match.
The
2019
legislature
approved
general
fund
appropriations
of
500
000
in
each
year
of
the
2019-21
biennium
for
the
nevada
national
guard.
You
challenge
program
that
amount
is
included
in
the
governor's
recommended
base
budget
in
the
upcoming
biennium.
C
Pursuant
to
nrs388d330,
the
office
is
required
to
enter
into
an
agreement
with
the
superintendent
of
public
instruction
and
the
board
of
trustees
of
a
school
district
to
establish
a
challenged
school
based
on
the
contract
between
the
office
and
the
elko
county
school
district.
The
per
pupil
funding
allocation
from
the
distributive
school
account
for
students
enrolled
in
the
program
would
be
paid
directly
to
the
elko
county
school
district.
C
However,
the
governor's
recommended
k-12
funding
of
595
000
in
each
year,
which
is
based
on
a
per
pupil
amount
of
5950
for
100
students
appears
to
reflect
a
historic
amount
that
only
includes
the
guaranteed
revenue
provided
under
the
nevada
plan.
K-12
formula
funding
and
does
not
include
the
other
local
revenues
that
the
elko
county
school
district
receives
staff
would
note
that
the
challenge
school
is
a
school
under
the
elko
county
school
district
and
as
such,
it
is
entitled
to
all
the
state
and
local
funding
that
all
elko
public
schools
currently
receive.
C
During
the
budget
hearing
the
office
indicated
the
contract
with
the
elko
county
school
district,
anticipate
a
transition
to
the
nevada
plan
to
the
new
pupil-centered
funding
plan
in
follow-up
communication
with
fiscal
staff.
The
office
indicated
it
is
coordinating
with
the
office
of
the
military's
deputy
attorney
general,
the
elko
county
school
district,
the
nevada
department
of
education
and
the
legal
counsel
of
the
legislative
council
bureau
to
amend
the
contract
to
ensure
appropriate
language
is
included
to
allow
all
funding
available
from
federal
state
or
local
sources
to
be
provided
to
the
challenged
school.
C
As
indicated,
the
governor's
recommended
base
budget
includes
general
funding
corporations
of
500
000
in
each
year
of
the
2021-23
biennium
to
ensure
that
the
office
has
sufficient
state
match
for
the
program
until
the
program
receives
sufficient
k-12
funding
for
the
required
match.
Additionally,
as
indicated
previously,
the
governor's
recommended
k-12
funding
of
595
000
in
each
year
appears
to
be
understated
and
does
not
include
all
the
federal
and
other
local
revenue
sources
that
are
provided
to
all
public
schools.
C
Approval
staff
would
also
note
that
nrs
388
that
325
establishes
the
nevada
national
guard
deal
challenge
program,
account
to
house
the
revenue
and
expenditures
associated
with
the
challenge
school.
The
office
has
not
utilized
this
account
since
it
continues
to
establish
the
program
using
federal
and
state
revenue
in
this
budget.
However,
the
subcommittee
could
recommend
a
letter
of
intent
to
be
issued
requiring
the
office
to
research.
The
use
of
this
separate
account
that
is
established
in
statute
in
the
2023-25
biennium.
C
C
Additionally,
the
dishes
decision
unit
includes
federal
funds
of
1.3
million
fiscal
year,
22
and
1.2
million
in
fiscal
year,
23,
which
the
office
indicates
is
incorrect
and
should
show
1.5
million
in
each
year
of
the
2021-23
biennium.
Accordingly,
fiscal
staff
recommends
technical
adjustments
to
increase
contract
services
to
reflect
the
requested
amounts
which
would
result
in
a
net
increase
in
federal
funds
of
four
hundred
forty
four
thousand
nine
hundred
fifty
eight
dollars
over
the
two
thousand
twenty
one.
Twenty
three
biennium.
C
Top
of
page
nine
are
the
decision
for
the
subcommittee.
Does
the
subcommittee
wish
to
recommend
approving
federal
funds
of
2.6
million
k-12
funding
of
1.2
million
and
general
fund
reductions
of
190
000
over
the
2021-23
biennium
to
continue
the
implementation
of
the
nevada
national
guard?
U
challenge
program
with
the
technical
adjustments
noted
by
fiscal
staff
and
provide
fiscal
staff
with
authority
to
make
other
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
C
The
office
could
further
be
required
to
research.
The
ongoing
state
match
funding
that
would
be
needed
in
the
2023-25
biennium
once
the
challenge
school
is
established
and
enrollment
and
k-12
funding
history
is
available.
The
office
could
provide
a
report
with
its
finding
to
the
interim
finance
committee.
No
later
than
september,
1st
of
2022.
D
Thank
you
chair.
I
move
that
we
I
move
for
the
adoption
of
all
of
the
suggestions
as
detailed
by
fiscal
staff
that
is
listed
verbatim
on
page
nine.
C
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
On
page,
nine
is
the
second
major
closing
issue.
The
governor
recommends
general
fund
appropriations
of
one
hundred
eighty
five
thousand
three
hundred
ninety
eight
dollars
over
two
thousand
twenty
one.
Twenty
three
biennium
for
one
unclassified
psychological
health
manager
position.
The
office
indicates
the
recommendation
for
one
new
unclassified
psychological
health
manager
position
would
provide
an
additional
mental
health
provider
for
service
members
and
would
ensure
the
health
and
safety
of
military
personnel,
their
families
and
the
community
the
office
indicates.
C
During
the
budget
hearing
on
march
17,
the
office
indicated
that
the
state
does
not
have
enough
personnel
to
assist
with
mental
health
issues
for
service
members
and
has
a
waiting
list
of
individuals
wishing
to
see
a
mental
health
specialist.
The
office
further
indicated.
The
recommendation
would
expand
the
state
resources
available
for
support
and
technical
expertise
for
service
members
seeking
help
with
mental
issues
and
service
members
who
were
deployed
to
integrate
back
to
society.
C
The
decision
for
the
subcommittee
is.
Does
the
subcommittee
wish
to
recommend
approving
one
unclassified
psychological
health
manager
position
for
the
office
of
the
military,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
and,
if
approved
the
final
salary
for
this
new
unclassified
position
will
be
determined
by
the
money
committees
when
the
payable
is
considered
fiscal
staff
also
request
authority
to
make
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
D
Thank
you
chair.
I
moved
to
approve
one
classified
psychological
health
manager
position
for
the
office
of
the
military,
as
recommended
by
the
governor,
and
we
realize
the
final
salary
for
the
new
unclassified
position
will
be
determined
by
the
money
committees
when
the
pay
bill
is
considered,
and
also
for

staff
to
have
the
authority

make

A
C
Thank

The
final
major
closing
issue
for
this
budget.
The
governor's
finance
office
submitted
budget
amendment
8215
393650,
which
recommends
federal
funds,
totaling
1.8
million
over
the
2021-23
biennium,
to
establish
two
new
star-based
programs,
including
eight
new
unclassified
positions
in
clark
and
washoe
counties.
The
governor's
recommendation
would
allow
fifth
grade
students
to
interact
with
military
personnel
to
explore
careers
and
observe
real-world
science,
technology
engineering
and
math
otherwise
known
as
stem
applications
in
nevada,
national
guard
bases.
C
The
the

for
the
star-based
program
in
each
year
of
the
2021-23
biennium,
and
the

provided
on
page

provides
the
duties
and
responsibilities
and
the
recommended
annual
salaries
of
the
eight
unclassified

As
indicated
in
the
budget
amendment.
This
includes
two
unclassified
administrator
positions:
two
unclassified
executive
assistant
positions
and
four
unclassified
training
specialist
positions.
C
Decisions
pertaining
to
these
unclassified
salaries
and
position
changes
will
be
determined
by
the
money
committees
when
the
pay
bill
is
considered
and
staff
request
authority
to
make
any
adjustments
subsequently
required.
But
so
the
decision
for
the
subcommittee
is.
Does
the
subcommittee
wish
to
recommend
approving
federal
funds
of
1.8
million
over
the
2021-23
biennium
to
establish
two
new
star-based

as
recommended
in
budget
amendment?
D
Thank

I
moved
for

the
authority

D
A
C
C
There
are
no
major
closing
issues
for
this
budget.
There
are
two
other
closing
items
for
which
staff
request
technical
adjustments.
The
first
one
is
the
governor
recommends,
building
rent
revenues
of
332
757
dollars
in
fiscal
year,
22
and
332
7747
in
fiscal
year,
23,
which
the
office
indicates
it's
incorrect
and
should
reflect
333
236
dollars
in
each
year
of
the
2021-23
by
india.
C
C
Thank

the
gray
box
on
page

the
the
very
last

where
it
says,

It
is
reserves
they're,
not
revenue,.
A
A
That
took
that's
correct
right.
Okay,
just
want
to
make
sure
we
got
it
right.
Any
further
discussion
on
the

A
A
Thank
you
all

So,
let's
move
to
our
next

today.
Public

go
open.
The

A
Great,
thank
you
very
much,
we'll
go
ahead
and
close
public
comment,
and
I
know
this
went
really
quick
today,
but
the
part
that
we
didn't
do,
I'm
sure
we'll
come
up
later,
so
we'll
have
to
make
it
up
somewhere
along
the
way.
So
with
that,
we
have
no
further
items
come
before
us.
We
are.
