C
A
Senator
gueykichia
here,
chair
dennis
here.
Thank
you
all
right.
Just
it's
a
lot
easier
now,
when
we're
in
here
that
you
can,
you
can
mute
because
you
got
the
mute
button
there,
but
just
remember
to
stay
muted
and
for,
of
course,
all
of
those
that
are
online
when
you're
not
talking
and
also
let's
see.
A
A
If
you
do
wish
to
get
public
comment,
there
is
that
process
you
have
to
go
through
to
register,
and
so
we
appreciate
that
today
we
have
three
budgets
to
hear
our
budget
accounts,
the
department
of
veterans
services
and
the
department
of
public
safety
safety.
Actually,
too,
I
don't
know
how
to
count
so
with
that
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
begin
with
the
department
of
veterans
services,
and
I
believe
this
day
is
going
to
do
that.
These
first
budgets.
D
D
A
E
Thank
you
chair.
I
move
that
physical,
that
to
follow
the
recommendations
from
fiscal
staff
that
this
budget
be
closed,
is
recommended
by
the
government
and
request
authority
for
staff
to
make
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
D
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
The
next
budget
is
the
southern
nevada
veterans
home,
which
can
be
found
on
page
five
of
your
closing
packet.
The
southern
nevada
state
veterans
home
is
located
in
boulder
city.
It
is
a
180
bed
facility.
As
of
yesterday,
the
census
for
the
home
was
132
residents
with
a
wait
list
of
32.
D
D
The
chiller
replacement
project
was
due
to
the
failure
of
one
of
the
home's
chil
to
chillers,
which
has
required
the
rental
of
a
temporary
chiller,
a
request
for
the
replacement
of
the
chiller
system
at
the
home,
including
the
replacement
of
the
failed
chiller,
and
the
remaining
operable
chiller
was
approved
by
the
interim
finance
committee
on
january
27
2021
to
expedite
the
project.
Therefore,
this
recommendation
would
be
duplicative
and
is
no
longer
necessary
in
a
follow-up
response
to
questions
from
committee
members.
D
The
anticipated
construction
start
date
is
october,
25th
2021,
with
a
completion
date,
completion
due
by
january
23
2022,
since
the
equipment
cannot
be
torn
apart
during
the
summer
months,
fiscal
staff
would
recommend
the
subcommittee
to
not
approve
decision
unit
e
731,
since
the
chiller
replacement
project
was
approved
by
the
interim
finance
committee
on
january
27
2021
and
I
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
This
subcommittee
may
have.
A
Do
we
have
any
questions,
senator
gokita.
F
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and,
as
I
remember
the
in
the
hearing
now
we
have
two
chillers
that
are
presently
being
leased,
I
believe,
and
so
other
than
just
the
economic
impact
it
shouldn't
shouldn't,
interfere
with
the
operation
of
the
building
other
than
just
gonna
cost
us
a
little
bit
more
in
the
short
term
for
the
lease.
So
I'm
definitely
in
favor
of
it
right.
A
D
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
for
the
record.
Stephanie
dave
fiscal
analysis
vision.
The
new
when
the
chiller
replacement
project
is
complete.
Both
of
the
chillers
will
be
replaced,
the
one
that
has
failed
and
the
new
one
and
the
currently
operating
one
there
will
be
a
chiller
that
will
be
rented
until
that
project
is
completed.
E
Thank
you
chair.
I
move
that
the
subcommittee
does
not
approve
decision
unit
e731,
since
the
chile
replacement
project
was
approved
by
the
interim
finance
committee
on
january
27,
2021.
G
A
We
have
a
motion
by
some
of
them
in
middle
earth.
Second,
by
senator,
brooks
any
further
discussion
on
the
motion.
A
D
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
for
the
record.
Stephanie
dave
fiscal
analysis
division.
There
are
four
other
closing
items
in
this
budget.
Number
four
is
a
technical
adjustment.
The
depart
department
provided
updated
revenue
projections
on
march
17th,
which
are
detailed
in
the
table
on
page
seven,
which
result
in
net
reductions
to
revenues
of
3.7
million
in
fiscal
year
2022
and
5.2
million
in
fiscal
year.
2023
fiscal
staff
recommends
a
technical
adjustment
to
update
the
revenues
as
detailed
in
the
table
which
appear
reasonable
to
staff.
E
A
D
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
for
the
record.
Stephanie
dave
fiscal
analysis
division.
The
last
budget
for
the
subcommittees
consideration
this
morning
for
the
department
of
veterans
services
is
the
northern
nevada
veterans
home,
which
is
located
on
page
9
of
your
closing
packet.
It
is
located
in
sparks.
It
is
a
96
bed
facility.
D
D
There
are
no
major
closing
issues
in
this
account.
There
are
two
other
closing
items.
The
second
one
is
a
technical
adjustment.
The
department
provided
updated
projections
on
march
17th,
while
the
updated
revenue
projections
are
consistent
with
the
amounts
included
in
the
executive
budget.
The
contract
costs
included
in
the
adjusted
base
budget
inadvertently
excluded
management
fees.
Fiscal
staff
recommends
a
technical
adjustment
to
reduce
reserves
by
seven
hundred
and
eleven
thousand
five
hundred
and
ninety
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
D
Twenty
two
and
seven
hundred
and
twenty
eight
thousand
six
hundred
and
sixty
eight
dollars
in
fiscal
year,
2023
to
appropriately
reflect
the
contract
funding
levels
required
in
the
2021-23
biennium,
which
appears
reasonable
to
staff.
Fiscal
staff
recommends
that
this
budget
be
closed.
As
recommended
by
the
governor,
with
the
noted
technical
adjustment
and
request
authority
for
staff
to
make
other
technical
adjustments
as
necessary,
and
I
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
on
this
budget.
B
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
I'm
sorry.
I
didn't
catch
this
during
the
original
hearing
on
this
budget
item.
The
bet
the
the
northern
nevada
veterans
home,
is
a
new
building
that
we
supported
over
the
last
couple
sessions
and
it
is
looks
like
it's
doing
very
well.
It's
a
96
bed
facility.
However,
it's
occupied
by
89
folks
now
with
a
13
person,
wait
list.
Is
there
a
plan
to
expand
it
to
full
capacity
of
the
96
beds.
D
Thank
you,
mr
pierre,
throw
you
to
dr
titus
stephanie
dave
fiscal
analysis,
division
for
the
record.
Yes,
there
are
currently
13
applications.
There
are
13
individuals
on
the
wait
list
and
the
department
is
or
excuse
me,
the
home
is
currently
working
on
all
13
of
those
applications.
B
All
right,
so,
if
so,
if
they
are
all
accepted,
that's
gonna
put
it
over
that'll,
be
a
hundred.
You
know,
just
I'm
just
looking
at
the
math
there
and
that'll
be
102,
but
it's
96
beds,
so
just
kind
of
do
the
math
for
me
on
that
one,
and
why
is
it
not
full?
Why
isn't
96
folks
there
with
a
wait
list?
That's
what
I'm
trying
to
clarify.
D
D
B
D
Thank
you
for
the
record.
Stephanie
dave
fiscal
analysis
division.
This
the
home
in
northern
data,
is
actually
a
single
bed
facility.
It
is
the
home
that
is
in
southern
nevada.
That
is
currently
a
double
bed
facility
and
cat
miller
from
the
department
is
actually
available.
If
you
would
like
the
the
department
to
to
talk
about
the
the
current
wait
list,.
B
Yeah,
please,
because
if
it's
a
not
a
double
bed
issue
and
you're
supposed
to
have
96
beds-
and
you
only
have
89,
what's
the
hold
up
on
or
there's
a
potential
there
to
fill
all
those
beds,
we'll
still
have
a
weight,
lift
if
I'm
just
doing
the
math
correctly.
Just
I'm
sorry,
I
just
like
clarification
thanks.
Mr
chairman.
B
Kat
miller,
for
the
record,
thank
you
for
the
question
mr
chair.
Through
you,
the
assembly
woman,
miss
day
is
absolutely
correct.
We
do
have
a
wait
list
of
13
applications
right
now
for
the
northern
nevada
home.
We
didn't.
We
were
closed
for
admission
because
of
the
outbreak
once
it
opened.
We
accepted
the
the
applications
and
then
we
received
quite
a
few
of
them
in
order
to
process
the
applications.
B
B
Homes
are
short-term
care,
they
may
have
just
had
a
surgery
had
a
heart
condition,
had
an
accident
and
broke
a
leg,
and
so
we
do
have
many
folks
that
might
just
come
for
six
weeks
and
then
leave
so
it
doesn't
mean
that,
because
we
have,
when
you
add
up
our
current
number
of
98
and
add
13,
yes,
that
would
exceed
our
96.
B
B
E
A
We
have
a
motion
from
someone
miller
second
by
senator,
brooks
any
further
discussion
on
the
motion,
if
not
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye
and
if
I'll
say
nay,
motion
carries
okay,
let's
go
on
mr
day
on
on
the
next.
Actually,
as
we
move
forward
here,
if
you
could
go
ahead
and
do
the
just
go
through
all
both
items,
including
the
I
think
this
one
has
yeah
the
other
closing
items,
if
you'll
do
them
all
at
once,
we'll
just
do
one
motion.
D
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
The
the
next
senate
is
will
be
handled
by
karen
hoppy.
A
C
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
for
the
record.
This
is
karen
hoppe
lcb
fiscal
analysis.
Division
today,
we'll
be
walking
through
six
budgets
from
the
department
of
public
safety
and
the
fire
marshal
division
and
the
office
of
traffic
safety
division.
The
first
one
is
on
page
11
of
your
closing
packet,
and
this
is
the
fire
marshal
budget.
C
C
The
agency
indicates
additional
staff
is
needed
within
the
inspections
and
planner
review
function
of
the
division,
the
division's
fire
protection
engineering
bureau
to
conduct
fire
and
life
safety
plan
reviews.
The
agency
has
experienced
delays
in
plan
review
turnaround
times,
which
has
caused
a
delay
in
construction
start
and
completion
times.
C
The
budget
currently
has
one
authorized
plans
examiner
position,
and
this
decision
unit
recommends
a
second
position
of
plans.
Examiner
2.
fiscal
staff
would
note
that
previously,
this
budget
funded
three
permanent
plans,
examiner
positions
which
were
reduced
to
one
position
for
the
2009-11
biennium
during
the
great
recession.
C
Since
that
time,
plan
review,
fee
revenues,
fee
revenues
have
steadily
increased,
supporting
the
agency's
indication
that
workloads
have
grown
during
the
march
9
budget
hearing.
The
subcommittee
was
interested
in
the
consequences
experienced
by
the
fire
marshal
from
delayed
plan
review
turnaround
times
with
the
approval
of
the
new
position
the
agency
indicated
it
would
anticipate
a
significant
decrease
in
turnaround
time,
which
would
lessen
delays
for
construction
and
result
in
more
fee
revenue
for
this
budget.
C
C
fiscal
staff
has
included
a
technical
adjustment
to
establish
the
reserve
category
and
also
to
increase
the
fee
revenue
projections
for
the
2123
biennium
adjusted
for
the
higher
fee
amounts
approved
by
the
legislative
commission.
At
its
february,
26
2020
meeting
fiscal
staff
recommends
other
closing
items
one
through
six
be
closed,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
and
other
closing
item.
Seven
be
closed
with
a
noted
technical
adjustment
and
request
authority
for
staff
to
make
other
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
B
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
for
for
presenting
the
budget.
I
appreciate
that
I
boy.
I
just
think
that
I
supportive
of
adding
the
the
new
plans
examiner
delaying
construction
from
10
days
in
clark
county
to
30
days,
because
you
need
the
extra
person
is
that's
just
important
to
solve
that
problem.
B
There
shouldn't
be
those
kind
of
delays,
and
I'm
just
interested
that
if
it's
okay
with
the
chair
that
if
we
do
okay,
this
position
wondering
how
long
it
will
take
to
fill
it
and
then,
if
we
could
have
a
follow-up
on
making
sure
that
those
kind
of
delays
are
improved.
It's
always
interesting
to
know
if
the
choices
we
make
here
actually
solve
the
problems
for
the
communities
and
the
construction.
F
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
I
think,
as
we
look
at
this
clearly
we're
going
to
have
a
a
new
plan
plan
checker
or
plan
reviewer,
but
that
just
brings
us
back
to
the
next
point
in
most
of
these
counties
under
100
000.
Are
they
going
to
then
be
able
to
do
the
site
visits
that
are
required
as
well?
That
truly
is
a
hold
up
at
night,
very
sympathetic
to
the
fire
marshal's
office
when
you
have
to
travel
all
over
nevada.
F
But
again
we
we
review
the
plans
and
and
we'll
stop
that
bottleneck,
but
that'll
just
create
another
one,
and
that's
the
fact
that
they
cannot
get
out
there.
The
fire
marshal's
office
won't
be
able
to
get
out
there
and
actually
do
those
on-site
inspections.
So
yeah
the
fire
marshal's
got
a
lot
of
work
in
front
of
them,
especially
with
this.
This
growth
we're
experiencing
right
now.
It's
I
anticipate
we'll
have
to
increase
that
budget,
some
of
their
other
personnel.
F
A
E
G
A
Sort
of
a
motion
by
someone
miller
second
by
senator,
brooks
just
to
note
that
we're
just
adding
that
report
that
they
report
back
to
the
ifc
the
progress
any
further
discussion
on
the
motion.
A
C
C
The
agency
indicates
that
the
administrator
position
is
experiencing
salary
compaction
issues
with
the
deputy
division
administrator
positions,
compensation
regularly
surpassing
the
administrator's
salary
through
paid
over
time
because
of
the
salary
compaction
issue.
The
governor
recommends
increasing
the
administrator
salary
equal
to
that
of
the
office
of
cyber
defense
coordination
division
administrator
top
annual
salary
of
117
430.
C
F
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
just
this
morning
I
got
a
an
email
from
a
lady
on
that
triple
fatality
on
95
there
at
scottish
johnson
earlier
this
month
and
yeah
no
amount
of
money
would
make
me
take
this
job.
Truly,
we've
got
some
real
issues
as
far
as
traffic
safety
is
concerned.
In
this
state
and
I'd
be
very,
very
supportive.
F
E
E
If
the
salary
increase
is
recommended
by
the
subcommittee,
the
salary
will
be
reviewed
and
considered
by
the
money
committees
for
inclusion
in
the
unclassified
section
of
the
2021-23
pay
bill.
Also
for
fiscal
that
all
other
closing
items
be
closed.
As
recommended
by
the
governor
and
request
authority
for
staff
to
make
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
A
C
C
There
are
four
major
closing
issues
here
in
preparation
for
the
march
9th
budget.
Hearing
fiscal
staff
identified
two
common
themes
that
created
concerns
about
all
four
major
closing
issues
discussed
below
one:
the
governor's
recommendation
to
fund
and
house
enhancements
with
additional
motorcycle
safety
fee
revenue
that
the
budget
is
unlikely
to
generate
which
could
result
in
budget
insolvency
and
two
duplication
of
costs
that
are
already
in
the
base
budget.
C
C
C
On
march
19
2021,
the
governor's
finance
office
submitted
budget
amendment,
a
nine
21494,
four
six,
nine
one
which
eliminates
motorcycle
safety
revenues
of
101
thousand
hundred
and
ten
dollars
and
media
campaign
expenditures
of
85
000
in
each
year
of
the
2123
biennium.
The
amendment
funds,
the
remaining.
Sixteen
thousand
one
hundred
and
ten
dollars
per
year
or
an
outreach
coordinator
in
southern
nevada,
with
budget
reserves
with
the
amendment

In
this
particular
situation,
we
typically
reach
out
to
the
colleges
who
are
under
contracts
with
the
department
of
public
safety
to
determine
their
fiscal
status,
to
ensure
that
they
are
that
they
remain
whole,
that
they
are
at
least
at
a
cost
neutral
point,
and
in
this
particular
case,
the
two
community
colleges,
college
of
southern
nevada
and
western
community
college
both
indicated
that
there
is
not
a
need
for
a
subsidy.
