A
Okay,
good,
I
think
committee
members,
I
think
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
call
this
meeting
to
order.
It
is.
It
is
905,
and
we
do
have
a
lot
to
get
done
here
today.
So
with
that,
I
will
go
ahead
and
call
the
meeting
to
order
miss
jones.
If
you
would
please
call
the
roll
today
for
us.
A
And
I
am
here,
thank
you
all
very
much
for
being
here
this
morning.
We
will
go
ahead
and
follow
our
standard
procedures
for
ifc
and
we'll
start
with
public
comment
as
published
on
the
agenda.
Public
comment
may
be
made
by
a
mail
email
submitted
by

or
by
calling

the

number
was
posted
on
the

and
by
following
the
directions,
as
you
call

we
will
have,
we
will
take
up
to
approximately
45
minutes
of
public
comment
if
it's
necessary
this

A
We
do
want
to
limit
each

so
we
would
ask
our

morning.
Thank
you.

C
D
Begin
good
morning,
chris
bailey
c-h-I-s,
d-a-l-y
nevada,
state
education,
association,
the
voice
of
nevada
educators
for
over
100
years
on
this
morning's
agenda
is
an
item
to
use
3.3
million
dollars
in
cares,
act,
funds
for
contracts
related
to
professional
development
related
to
distance
education.
D
This
is
a
small
fraction
of
the
new
funds
necessary
as
we
approach
next
school
year.
Over
the
last
couple
of
weeks,
there's
been
a
concerted
push
for
schools
to
fully
reopen
in
the
fall
donald
trump
and
betsy
devos
has
demanded.
We
ignore
the
current
state
of
the
copa,
19
pandemic
and
thoughtful
recommendations
from
health
experts
and
just
to
reopen,
with
no
plan
no
proposed
additional
funding.
These
comments
are
reckless.
They
ignore
the
fact
that
one
and
a
half
million
teachers,
one
and
four,
are
in
high
risk.
D
A
serious
illness
is
effective
with
coronavirus
for
many
reopening
is
more
than
an
educational
issue.
It's
a
life
and
death
issue.
When
it
comes
to.
When
we
reels
in
schools,
we
must
follow
the
guidance
of
health
experts
when
it
comes
to.
How
do
we
reopen?
We
must
be
listening
to
educators
before
reopening
schools.
There
needs
to
be
sufficient.
Containment
of
the
virus
available
health
infrastructure
to
address
future
outbreaks.
Unfortunately,
nevada
has
not
enclosed
the
meaningless
threshold.
D
We
are
in
this
together
and
it
will
take
all
of
us
to
open
our
schools
as
soon
as
we
safely
can.
This
includes
making
sure
resources
are
available
to
safely
reopen.
We
know
that
cutting
the
budgets
while
safely
reopening
just
won't
work.
We
need
to
fund
what
is
necessary
to
ensure
the
safety
of
students,
educators,
our
families
and
community,
as
more
support
from
the
federal
government
is
stalled.
D
C

C
E
Hi,
my
name
is
selena
larue
s-e-l-e-n-a,
larue,
l-a
space
capital
r-u-e,
I'm
calling
in
supportive
funds
allocated
for
professional
development
in
distance
learning.
However,
I'm
concerned
that
this
small
band-aid
will
not
staunch
the
flow
from
all
of
the
cuts
being
proposed
by
the
legislature
this
session
to
education.
We
need
to
be
able
to
reopen
our
schools
safely.
This
fall,
and
that
includes
measures
the
legislature
has
already
put
in
place.
E
Plexiglas
hands-free,
faucets
sanitizer,
spacing
all
of
these
things
require
funds
that
not
only
do
we
not
have
in
our
schools,
but
are
actively
being
cut,
and
I
am
deeply
concerned
by
the
direction
we
are
going.
I'm
asking
you
to
please
be
brave
and
bold
and
stop
this
tired
cycle
of
cutting
education.
E
Every
time
we
hit
a
road
bump
and
then
having
us
claw
our
way
back
for
the
next
10
years,
only
to
hit
another
crisis
and
us
to
be
cut
back
again.
We
cannot
be
last
in
the
nation
anymore.
We
cannot
follow
this
same
cycle
of
cut
and
cut
and
cut.
We
need
new
revenue
and
we
need
a
new
way
to
fund
education.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
We
will
go
ahead
and
proceed
then.
So
the
next
item
on
our
agenda,
I
believe,
is
going
to
and
oh
and
as
always,
committee
members
since
we
are
working
virtually,
we
are
used
to
doing
the
roll
call
votes
for
each
item-
those
those
will
be
done
by
ms
jones
today
so
and
when
we
do
get
the
point
to
the
point
of
voting
for
each
item,
we
will
be
taking
individual
votes
and
ms
jones
will
be
calling
the
role.
So
with
that.
A
I
believe
we
can
go
ahead
and
go
to
item
number
c.
We
have
four
items
on
item
number
c
today.
If
we
could
go
ahead
and
bring
up
the
person
on
item
c1,
that
would
be
great
department
of
education
office
of
the
superintendent.
A
G
G
G
So
these
funds
will
be
expended
on
three
emergency
contracts
which
will
support
our
teachers
and
our
students
as
they
prepare
to
return.
This
fall
in
a
currently
blended
or
hybrid
environment.
The
department
initiated
these
emergency
contract
contracts.
The
first
one
is
an
amendment
to
our
existing
contract
with
infinite
campus,
which
provides
the
integration
of
the
learning
management
system,
which
will
support
the
information
flow
of
how
our
students
are
doing
directly
into
a
system
that
we
already
run.
G
G
It
has
social
emotional
supports
for
our
teachers
as
well
as
students,
they
have
just
added
a
social
justice
component
which
is
very
important
to
us
and
then
as
well
as
providing
time
learning
and
resources
for
our
families
and
children.
So
with
these
contracts,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee,
we
are
hoping
that
you
will
approve
them.
They
were
approved
by
the
board
of
examiners
on
the
30th,
pending
your
approval
for
this
work
program.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
miss
evert.
I
think
I'll
go
ahead.
I've
got
a
list
of
folks,
so
I'll
just
go
ahead
and
start
I'll
go
to
vice
chair
woodhouse.
To
start
us
off.
E
Morning,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you,
superintendent.
Ebert.
I
really
appreciate
that
description.
I
would
like
to
to
go
a
little
bit
further.
Could
you
provide
for
us
an
overview
of
how
the
department
does
plan
to
use
the
rest
of
the
26.5
million
in
the
governor's
emergency
education
relief
funds
that
would
support
k-12
education.
G
G
G
We
know
that
our
children,
our
families,
our
teachers,
need
additional
support
at
this
point
in
time,
given
how
the
spring
went,
and
so
we
would
like
to
spin
up
and
offer
a
pathway
for
retired
educators,
folks
that
have
been
displaced
by
their
current
job,
who
could
become
educators
to
be
able
to
support
our
children
as
we
move
forward.
So
those
are
the
five
main
areas
that
have
been
requested
for
the
governor's
emergency
relief
fund,
which
is
for
education.
E
A
G
Great,
thank
you
senator
excellent
question.
So
all
of
these
tools
do
have
metrics
of
use
having
been
in
the
virtual
environment
for
over
two
decades.
You
do
want
to
make
sure
that,
if
you've
made
an
investment
in
tools
that
they
are
used
appropriately
and
that
the
teachers
or
or
families
whoever
is
using,
the
information
is
actually
provided
support
to
implement
so
that
they
can
use
it
appropriately.
G
We
talked
earlier
a
few
months
ago
about
a
pencil
and
you
know
chromebooks.
We
need
to
give
our
communities
time
and
support
to
be
able
to
use
these
tools
effectively
and
all
of
those
metrics
will
be
available
in
both
of
these
tools
and
we're
here
to
support.
We
spun
up
the
digital
learning
collaborative
with
resources
as
well
as
I
asked
people
to
raise
their
hand
across
the
state
on
people.
G
We
have
highly
effective
educators
as
well
as
administrators
to
become
digital
engineers
and
they
raise
their
hand
and
have
self-identified,
and
we
are
working
to
provide
a
structure
that
is
statewide
that
it
doesn't
matter.
If
you're
an
educator
in
mineral
and
you're
exceptional,
you
have,
you
are
an
asset
in
our
state
and
you
can
help
teachers
in
wendover
or
in
clark
or
in
reno.
G
We
need
to
capitalize
on
the
assets
that
we
have,
which
are
highly
effective
educators
through
this
pandemic.
So
as
I
apologize
sometimes
I
get
excited
about
this
work,
but
making
sure
that
we
have
the
people
making
sure
that
we
have
the
tools
and
support
and
a
structured
plan
rolling
out
into
the
future,
because
we
know
this
is
not
just
going
to
be
one
or
two
months
it's
over
time
and
that's
why
it
was
important
too,
to
have
a
plan
and
support
that
is
systemic.
That
changes
and
supports
the
new
structure
for
educating
our
children.
E
Thank
you.
I
have
just
a
second
question,
if
that's
okay,
madam
chair,
sure,
go
ahead
so
shifting
gears
and
looking
at
the
nine
nine
million
in
change
for
the
broadband
connectivity
issue,
which
we
know
is
something
that
affects
families
across
the
state.
E
G
Thank
you
senator.
What
I
would
add
to
that
too
is.
Since
you
spoke
about
health,
is
we
need
to
be
strategic
as
a
state
not
only
in
our
educational
components
with
these
dollars,
but
telehealth
telemedicine
resources
to
those
that
have
not
had
access
and
so
working
collaboratively
again
with
brian
mitchell,
who
is
the
director
of
the
office
of
science,
innovation
and
technology
for
our
state
and
also
working
with
private
industry?
G
That
broadband
needs
to
be
robust
and
reliable,
and
so
that's
another
bucket.
And
then
we
have
the
third
bucket
where
there
are
homes
that
already
have
access
sufficient
to
conduct
learning
at
home,
and
so
right
now
we're
trying
to
triangulate
between
what
the
providers
across
our
state.
We
have
multiple
providers
across
our
state
what
they
have
and
where
they're
currently
located,
and
how
we
can
expand
existing
broadband
via
these
wi-fi
components
which
can
spin
up
rather
quickly.
G
There
actually
needs
to
be
additional
fiber
laid
in
the
ground
to
be
able
to
get
more
and
for
excuse
me,
high
quality
broadband
into
those
homes,
and
then
third
is
actually
asking
the
families
themselves
with
what
access
they
currently
have
and
that's
what
the
school
districts
are
in
the
process
of
doing
we're
working
very
closely
with
clark
and
washoe
right
now
with
their
gis
folks
to
make
a
determination
looking
at
the
heat
maps
where
our
children
are
and
then
rolling
that
out.
G
So
it's
in
process
senator,
I
I
will
say
it's
not
done,
but
that
information
is,
is
the
first
step
gaining
that
data
to
better
understanding
where
the
need
is
and
then
not
only
where
the
need
is.
But
you
know,
is
it
multiple
fixed
wi-fi?
G
Is
it
you
know,
trenching
in
love
lock,
my
understanding
is:
they
have
been
trying
to
go
under
the
railroad
to
get
some
broadband
into
the
communities,
and
so
now
we're
talking
about
going
over
the
railroad
and
looking
at
partnering
with
nevada
energy
on
some
flyovers
that
may
already
exist
so
we're
working
together.
G
I
think
that
leadership
with
all
of
the
entities
to
pull
this
out
people
need
to
step
up
and
make
sure
that
we
have
the
right
information
and
these
few
dollars.
That
is,
that
are
available
that
it's
deployed
properly
and
we're
in
the
process
of
of
ensuring
that.
G
There
is
a
huge
need
after
this.
This
is
just
a
start
right
now,
the
school
districts
have
been
for
a
very
long
time
able
to
support
wi-fi
within
buildings
and
then
also
libraries.
If
you
look
at
your
telephone
bill,
you
actually
have
a
line
in
your
telephone
bill
that
says
that's
a
tax
that
has
universal
services
for
schools
and
libraries.
G
So
if
you
haven't
taken
a
look
at
that
lately,
you
can
see
that
money
does
travel
up
to
the
federal
government.
There
is
an
entity
called
usac
which
distributes
those
dollars
under
the
e-rate
program,
but
what
has
transpired
is
that
is
based
on
the
learning
units
being
the
school
building
and
or
community
libraries.
G
Unfortunately,
learning
now
is
happening
in
the
home,
so
at
the
federal
level,
our
state
board
is
also
going
to
write
letters
and
I've
spoken
with
several
of
our
several
several
of
our
federal
members
to
really
push
the
shift
in
policy
and
how
those
dollars
are
used,
because
this
is
a
long
term
need
and
it's
just
a
lot
of
people
have
been
comparing
it
to
electricity.
G
A
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
so
what
I'll
do
is
there
are
folks
with
other
questions
is
I
I
have
a
couple
questions
but
I'll
kind
of
stay
in
one
area
for
now,
and
I
thank
you
for
the
ability
to
ask
the
question
so
I
do
see.
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
pending
contract
with
instructure
and
then
other
dollars
that
look
like
they're
being
used
for
statewide
learning
management
system
so
with
the
instructure
contract
of
the
1.9
million.
H
Is
that
part
of
or
separate
from
the
4.6?
That
is
also
going
to
be
used
for
statewide
learning
management
system.
G
It's
one
in
the
same
assemblywoman,
so
you're
just.
H
Half
of
it
now
and
then
you'll
hold
off
the
other
amount
to
for
like
a
contract
in
year
two
or
a
con.
We
just
talk
about
kind
of
the.
I
guess
the
total
use
of
that
money
then.
G
Yes,
so
what
you
have
before
you
for
we're
seeking
approval
is
for
fy21,
and
then
the
additional
half
will
come
before
you
for
fy22.
H
G
It
is
a
two-year
contract
that
we
asked
for
and
that
strategically
we
know
that
moving
into
this
environment,
it
is
not
one
and
done
it's
a
multi-year
process
and
works
with
closely
with
the
superintendents
and
making
a
determination
to
move
in
this
direction
and
and
that's
what
to
support
our
students
and
family
the
first
year,
if
you're
looking,
I
think
in
the
backup
material.
G
Thank
you.
In
the
first
year
of
the
contract,
we
know
that
spinning
up,
we
have
half
a
million
children
in
our
state
and
we
cannot
on
board
the
entire
state,
and
some
school
districts
have
indicated
that
they
are
going
to
currently
remain
with
some
of
the
tools
that
they
have
hey.
H
Can
I
ask
you
about
that
piece,
real,
quick,
because
I
just
wanna
I
I
did
have
a
follow-up
question
about
that.
But
since
we'll
go
we'll
go
there,
so
it
sounds
like
year
one's
gonna
be
on
boarding
some
students
year
two
will
be
onboarding
students
or
districts.
So,
like
I
and
I'm
kind
of
naive
about
a
lot
of
the
curriculum
opportunities
out
there
like
I
only
I
I
see
such
a
small
snapshot
as
a
parent
like,
I
only
see
what
my
kids
use
right.
It's
like
I've
seen
my.
H
I
think
I
had
three
of
my
four
children
who
got
to
learn
microsoft
teams
and
we
got
to
learn
microsoft
thing,
especially
like
the
second
grader
access,
microsoft
team.
So
is
this
instructure
and
a
program
that
will
complement
districts
in
the
program
that
they
currently
have,
or
is
the
department
buying
a
new
set
of
programs
to
offer
up
to
districts.
G
Great
great
question
so
right
now
not
only
does
the
and
she
use
in
structure,
but
the
clark
county
school
district
has
been
using
instructure
for
over
six
years
for
their
delivery
of
of
online
learning.
Also,
several
of
the
regional
professional
development
programs
have
been
using
instructure
and
I
apologize.
I
can't
remember
off
the
top
of
my
head
if
it's
humbled
and
or
churchill
or
both.
Oh,
I
do
know.
Elko
has
also
been
using
this
tool.
G
H
Does
it
make
sense,
then,
like
it,
I
guess
I'm
wondering
the
thought
behind
supporting
districts
where
they're
at
in
and
the
products
they've
been
using
versus
onboarding
new
systems
and
programs
that
people
already
know
so
like
it
makes
sense
if
clark
county's
been
using
instructure
and
that's
what
teachers
and
parents
and
kids
know
like
how
is
there
a
way
to
support
them
in
in
their
contract
with
that,
but
then
the
other
school
districts
that
use
other
products
that
everyone's
become
familiar
with,
how
supporting
them
in
the
cost
of
those
products.
G
So
it's
a
multi-layered
approach
which
is
awesome.
You're
speaking
my
language,
the
rpdps
we've
been
working
with,
as
well
as
the
individual
school
districts,
and
so
it's
not
a
rip
and
replace
it's
to
blend
and
expand
what
we
already
have
and
what
the
beauty
about
using
and
structure
in
this
new
realm
is.
H
Okay,
thank
you
so
much,
and
then
I
interrupted
you
and
I
apologize
for
that,
because
I
saw
wait
a
minute.
I
was
thinking
about
that
and
wanted
to
ask
about
the
instructor
and
how
it
holds
in
with
other
tools
that
districts
are
using.
You
were
in
the
middle
of
talking
about
the
onboarding
of
the
two-year
contract,
so
the
deliverables
from
the
the
contract,
the
deliverables
in
the
contract
for
year,
one
and
then
the
deliverables
in
the
contract
per
year
too.
G
Hired
project
managers
are
part
of
the
contract
as
well
as
content
developers,
because
we
have
a
short
window,
as
you
all
know,
before
school
starts,
so
that
service
is
in
the
initial
contract,
with
two
members
to
join
us
across
the
state
to
do
this
work
along
with
the
digital
engineers
that
I
spoke
to
earlier
this
first
year
contract
we
requested
for
200
000
licenses
that
would
cover
grades
6
through
12
again,
knowing
that
we
already
have
content
that
exists
across
the
state
that
we
can
use
and
collaborate
and
expand
rather
quickly,
as
well
as
all
of
the
advanced
placement
courses
that
we
can
now
offer
statewide,
and
so
the
200
000
licenses
would
support
the
612
environments,
all
of
the
regional
professional
development
programs,
the
staff
here
in
nde,
as
well
as
other
entities
that
will
provide
support
for
our
families
and
children
wraparound
services,
those
pieces.
G
Then
we
expanded
the
in
the
contract
to
450
000
students
for
year
two,
and
so
that's
the
proposal
as
it
sits
now.
H
G
H
That's
good
ballpark
is
absolutely
fine
and
if
you
want
to-
and
if
you
want
to
follow
up,
I
imagine
that
in
year
two
we
get
to
100
of
students
covered
by
a
license
and
then
some
right
because
we'll
have
we've
got
500
000
ish
kids
in
through
12,
but
then
we'll
have
600
650
000
licenses.
So
we'll
have
we'll
be.
It
seems
like
that,
would
be
100.
G
A
Oh
sorry
about
that
I
was
muted,
so
I
will
go
ahead
and
go
to
senator
kitkapper
next.
C
Hey,
madam
jerry,
I
appreciate
that
it's
good
to
see
you,
man,
superintendent.
I
had
a
couple
of
follow-up
questions
on
that,
so
there's
no
plan
to
mandate
all
districts
ex
adopt
the
instructure
lms.
C
And
so
we're
paying
for
a
fixed
number
of
licenses
for
licenses.
If
districts,
don't
don't
choose
to
use
this
system,
are
we
able
to
break
back
some
of
those
fees.
C
G
G
Thank
you.
I've
been
reminded,
I'm
superintendent
ebert
for
the
record,
so
discovery
discovery
can
be
used
in
both
ways.
It
can
stand
alone
and
it
can
integrate
into
infinite
campus,
and
so
that's.
What's
the
beauty
about
the
tool
as
assembly.
One
noted
earlier
that
if
a
district
is
using
microsoft
teams,
they
still
have
access
and
you
can
use
the
discovery
tools
as
well.
So
it's
very
flexible.
G
C
And
I
noticed
as
well
in
the
discovery
contract
that
includes
summer
school
for
summer.
That's
over
is
that
is
there
for
that,
still
as
a
part
of
the
contract.
G
G
C
Okay,
perfect
so
receiver.
C
C
Thank
you
so
when
it
comes
to,
we've
got
professional
development
for
teachers,
but
is
there?
Is
there
support
in
in
this?
For
helping
parents
to
understand
the
software,
and
if
they
have
issues
is
there
support
for
them
on?
You
know
what
they
need,
who
they
need
to
call
those
kinds
of
things.
G
G
A
G
C
On
the
technology
side,
just
could
you
is
the
plan
to
get
a
device
to
each
child
and
not
just
one
per
family.
G
C
Great,
thank
you
and
then,
when
it
comes
to
broadband
access,
you
mentioned
nb
energy,
helping
you
with
some
being
over
the
railroad.
Have.
Are
you
guys,
looking
into
other
technologies,
to
provide
broadband
such
as
broadband
over
electric
lines
or
working
with
public
television
to
do
wireless
through
their
digital
lines
that
they
have?
Are
we
looking
into
those
kind
of
things
also.
G
Superintendent
ebert
for
the
record.
We
have
had
a
lot
of
conversations
with
reno
pbs,
as
well
as
vegas
pbs
on
their
technologies
that
they
have.
I
have
not
had
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
anyone
about
broadband
over
power.
I
I
believe
that
in
the
education
environment,
we
need
to
make
sure
we're
tapping
into
those.
G
You
know
you
think
about.
We
have
the
air
force
base
in
the
south
right.
What
logistics
can
they
help
provide
at
this
point
in
time
during
this
crisis?
So
we
need
to
to
call
upon
folks
that
in
our
state,
the
best
and
brightest
to
make
sure
that
we're
setting
this
up
for
success
and
not
only
short-term
success
but
long-term
success.
G
A
F
Thank
you
chairwoman,
so
I
had
a
question
on
the
canvas,
basically
so
in
terms
of
canvas,
because
I've
used
canvas
before
how
are
you
guys
going
to
allow
people
to
like
access
the
library
in
the
conversation
with
anita
thompson?
You
were
talking
about
the
commons,
so
also
there's
a
feature
where,
if
you
have
access
to
a
library
system
or
the
library
they
can,
students
can
access
articles
or
teachers
can
attach
a
library
documents
that
have
been
attached
to
the
library
into
their
assignments
or
modules.
F
G
Thank
you,
assemblywoman
neil,
and
I'm
glad
that
you've
had
the
opportunity
to
use
the
tools.
Superintendent,
ebert
for
the
record,
and
so
the
commons
and
having
access
to
the
resources
and
expanding
them
across
the
state
is
is
absolutely
the
goal.
I
can't
tell
you
that
that
would
be
the
first
layer
of
getting
the
system
up
and
running,
but
definitely
is
on
the
project
management
out
after
we
get
people
in
the
tool
using
the
tool
with
with
fidelity.
F
Yeah,
because
some
of
the
things
that
you
have
to
do
like,
if
a
teacher
is
trying
to
use
like
washington,
post
or
los
angeles
times
like
you,
have
to
already
have
those
subscriptions
through
the
library
system,
and
so
there's
some
like,
I
would
just
say,
mechanical
things
that
probably
you
know
conversations
that
need
to
take
place
to
make
sure
that
if
teachers
say
I
want
to
add
on
to
content,
they
need
to
have
the
access
to
do
that.
But
if
the
library
doesn't
have
those
subscriptions,
they
won't
be
able
to
do
that.
F
F
I
remember
discovery
education
being
around
in
the
school
system
ccsb
a
while
ago,
but
I
don't
remember
it
being
having
a
lot
of
rigor
right
like
it.
It
was
good
for
k3,
but
if
you
really
wanted
to
take
your
accelerated
students
and
try
to
get
use
the
digital
library,
the
digital
library
didn't
have
enough
rigor
or
content
that
I
felt
really
pushed
kids
to
a
level
where
they
could,
you
know,
go
beyond
a
basic
thought.
You
know
what
I'm
saying
like.
I
thought
it
was
really
simplistic.
F
I
thought
a
lot
of
the
video
content
was
simplistic
as
well,
so
has
it
changed
since,
like
I
don't
know,
2010.
G
Yes,
superintendent
ebert
for
the
record,
it
has
changed
immensely
and
so,
as
as
you
were
speaking,
I'm
thinking
that
you
know
we
can
have
a
session
for
the
legislators
that
would
like
to
actually
see
a
demonstration.
G
I
had
the
digital
engineers
review
it,
which
they
are
there
across
the
entire
state
prior
to
making
this
recommendation
as
as
supplemental
materials
and
resources.
G
I'm
really
impressed
back
to
several
of
the
committee
members
questions
resources
for
parents,
multilingual
access,
so
multiple
languages,
as
well
as
various
grade
levels
of
resources,
and
so
we
will
make
sure
that
I
will
make
sure
that
there
is
the
opportunity,
multiple
opportunities
for
you,
as
our
elected
officials,
to
review
that.
But
we
did
have
teachers
go
in
and
that
they,
some
of
the
teachers
remembered
when
it
was
called
united
streaming
and
it
is.
It
is
nothing
like
the
2010
version.
F
Then
my
final
question
here:
woman
for
homeschooling:
there
are
a
lot
of
parents
that
are
basically
now
going
to
be
homeschooling.
So
I've
been
getting
a
questions
about
how
they're
going
to
get
training.
What
are
the
support
systems
that
they
have
because
a
lot
of
the
parents
they
were
traditional,
you
know,
get
their
kid
on
the
bus
parents
and
now
they're
want
to
take
control
over
their
kids
education
and
they
they
don't
really
know
number
one.
The
process
number
two:
what
are
the
supports?
Number
three?
F
G
So
you
had
three
questions:
superintendent
ebert
for
the
record.
The
one
on
process
is
actually
working
with
the
school
district
to
identify
that
they
are
going
to
become
a
homeschool
family
student.
G
I
guess
first
and
foremost,
is
that
I
would
encourage
them
to
remain
with
the
public
school
system
as,
as
we
know,
there's
a
lot
of
shifts
and
I'll
stop
there.
The
second
one
in
supports
we
as
a
state
have
not
private
schools,
the
separation
of
private
schools
in
the
public
schools.
We
have,
as
a
state,
have
not
provided
resources
like
this
to
the
private
schools.
In
this
instance,
they
are
not
on
infinite
campus,
which
is
the
base
for
us
to
be
we're
very
fortunate
that
we
have
a
statewide
student
information
system.
G
I
would
not
be
able
to
tell
you
that
we'll
have
this
up
and
running
in
a
short
period
of
time
if
we
did
not
have
one
system
that
all
of
our
children
are
in
and
when
I
say
all
of
our
children,
I
mean
all
of
the
public
school
children
as
well
as
the
charter
school
authority,
children
and
charter
schools,
as
well
all
on
one
system.
So
when
those
systems
connect,
those
children
will
have
access,
and
so
at
these
funds
are
were
not
scaled
to
home
school
students.
J
You,
madam
chair
and
I
had
reached
out
to
cindy
so
I
apologize.
I
wasn't
in
your
queue
earlier.
I
have
some
questions
regarding
that.
The
access
and
just
want
to
make
sure
that,
as
you
said,
infinite
campus
is
available
to
all
school
districts
and
it
doesn't
matter
what
platform
they're
in
so
that
infinite
campus
is
available.
Correct.
Is
that
correct.
G
The
infinite
campus
is
super.
Thank
you.
Assemblywoman
superintendent,
ebert
for
the
record.
Infinite
campus
is
our
student
information
system
that
has
all
of
our
grades
attendance
health
records
iep.
I'm
sorry.
I
don't
know
that
all
the
school
districts
have
their
ieps
in
it,
but
it
is
the
information
system
that
we
use
for
all
of
our
reporting
components,
not
only
at
the
state
level
in
the
federal
level,
but
also
to
parents.
So
that's
our
base.
J
That's
separate
than
the
discovery
education
platform
that
you're
now
going
to
be
purchasing
and
make
available
throughout
the
state,
regardless
of
what
school
district,
regardless
of
where
they're
located
providing.
They
have
adequate
internet
access,
correct
that
connectivity
availability,
that's
the
kind
of
the
rub
in
some
of
the
areas
that
is
correct,
assembly,
woman!
J
Well,
I,
as
you
may
know,
I
do
ieps
for
the
lyon
county
school
district
and
one
of
the
things
I'm
concerned
about
that.
I
constantly
hear
about
in
this
kind
of
online
formats
homeschooling
is,
is:
where
are
we
connecting
with
our
special
needs?
Kids,
those
kids
who
have
ieps
those
kids
who
need
speech
therapy,
those
kids
who
need
some
other
instructions?
J
G
I
thank
you
so
much
superintendent
ebert
for
the
record
for
that
question.
I
apologize
our
differently.
Abled
students
will
have
access
to
the
discovery
tools.
It's
they're
building
those
components
out,
but
they
already
do
have
language
components,
and
I
I
can
get
you
a
list
specifically
excuse
me
the
whole
body,
a
list
specifically
of
in
that
area
with
our
differently
abled
students
in
the
in
structure.
G
The
learning
management
system
we
will
be
building
out
supports
for
our
educators
in
turn
helping
our
our
children.
So
a
lot
of
right
now,
oh
surly,
as
well
one
of
our
departments
and
working
with
will
you
can
take
current
content
that
we
have
across
the
state
and
and
put
it
into
infinite
campus.
I'm
sorry
put
it
into
the
lms
instructure,
and
so
that's.
What
we're
trying
to
do
is
create
the
one-stop
shop
for
parents,
for
teachers
for
administrators
to
be
able
to
create
a
system
that
is
sustainable
over
time.
J
So
one
more
question:
if
I
might
madam
chair:
yes,
please
go
ahead
so,
along
the
same
lines,
we
have
federal
funds
that
are
and
certain
requirements
to
get
those
federal
funds,
especially
with
our
uniquely
needy
or
our
special
needs.
Children,
so
are.
Will
this
satisfy
that
requirement
so
we're
not
in
danger
of
losing
any
of
those
federal
funds
and
those
federal
requirements
of
so
much
contact
and
so
we're
the
federal
government?
This
will
be
meet
that
criteria.
G
Assemblyman
woman,
titus
superintendent
ebert
for
the
record.
This
is
not
a
tool
to
meet
those
specific
requirements,
but
can
be
used
based
on
a
student's
iep
to
support
the
students.
So
I
don't
want
to
mislead
in
saying
you
know
this
tool
is
going
to
support
all
children
in
all
of

G
J
All
right,
so
so
it's
a
cross
spectrum
with
what
I'm
hearing
and
thank
you,
madam
chairwoman,
so
that
so
we
have
this
kind
of
titrated
to
the
education,
because
we're
hearing
that
certain
kids
are
good
on
the
computers
and
certain
kids
are
not
depends
on
the
age
group,
and
so
one
of
the
things
about
a
program
like
this,
and
we
heard
a
question
a
little
bit
earlier
about.
I
think
someone
when
neil
asked
a
question
about
it
was
great
for
the
up
to
third
grade
and
after
that
didn't
really
challenge.
J
J
You
know
the
connectivity,
regardless
of
where
you
live,
so
it's
it's
statewide
also
from
k-12
you've
accomplished
all
the
education
programs,
it's
more
challenging
than
what
it
had
been
in
the
past,
and
so
I
just
appreciate
you
trying
to
look
out
for
the
needs
of
our
nevada
students.
So,
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
A
Thank
you,
dr
titus,
so
with
that
I
have
not
seen
any
other
questions
in
the
queue
I
was
going
to
go
ahead
and
go
to
miss
benitez
thompson.
She
had
a
comment
to
close
us
out,
but
I
just
got
a
message
from
senator
kitkefer,
so
senator.
If
you
have
a
something
very
brief
and
then
I
do
want
to
finish
up
with
miss
benitez
thompson,
please
thank.
C
You
ma'am
chef,
very
brief.
Is
he
if
we're
picking
up
these
licensing
costs,
does
that
then
alleviate
the
district's
costs
and
they're
going
to
save
money?
If
we're
picking
up
these
250
000
licenses
for
this
year,.
G
Thank
you
senator
not
for
all
all
of
the
costs.
For
instance,
you
know
some
school
districts
just
had
a
portion
for
grade
level
of
licenses
and
now
they're
moving
to
k-12.
G
So,
as
I
explained
earlier,
we're
at
for
year,
one
we're
doing
612
in
infinite
campus
to
the
point
of
others
that
have
been
brought
up,
612
ready
to
move
forward
with,
so
it
doesn't
replace
the
cost
for
all
of
the
licenses
for
all
of
the
entities
because
they
may
be
using
it
in
other
grades.
C
G
Thank
you,
superintendent
ebert,
for
the
record.
They
did
not
have
200
or
excuse
me
in
those
grades.
They
did
not
have
enough
licenses
to
serve
all
of
those
children.
I
believe
they
had
approximately
fifty
thousand
licenses.
C
A
Thank
you,
senator
and
so
mrnas
thompson.
You
had
a
comment
and
then
I
believe
we'll
need
to
move
on.
Thank
you.
H
Yeah,
yes,
yes,
it'll,
be
quick,
I'm
just
was
thinking
much
more
about
the
instructure
and
I
guess
the
the
approach
to
say
that
the
department
of
education
is
going
to
kind
of
buy
products
and
make
them
available
to
the
district,
and
I
see
or
in
certain
instances
that's
really
helpful.
But
I
I
I
do
think
that
as
we
move
forward,
should
we
be
so
fortunate
enough
to
receive
more
federal
blocks
of
dollars
that
come
down.
H
It
just
seems
to
me
to
make
sense
to
meet
the
districts
where
they're
at
and
say:
okay,
as
opposed
to
us,
buying
a
product
and
making
it
available
to
you.
You
know
block
granting
these
dollars
down
to
the
district
so
that
they
can
enhance
what
they're
doing,
because
it
it
kind
it
sounds
like
and
I'm
just
taking
an
instructor
as
an
example.
We
we
know
of
two
counties
who
are
using
this.
H
That
means
15
counties
may
or
may
not
be,
and-
and
some
of
them
are
not
so
while
it
helps
to
say
we're
gonna
within
the
next
two
years
by
450
licenses.
If
the
counties
aren't
using
this
product
right
now
or
don't
plan
to
or
they
want
to
make
enhancements
into
the
the
systems
that
they
have
right
now,
then
we're
just
going
to
end
up
with
a
contract
for
450
licenses,
potentially
half
that
don't
get
used.
So
I
just
and
then
I
along
the
comment
that
assemblywoman
neal
made.
H
I
was
thinking
about
this
a
little
differently
as
opposed
to
homeschooling
being
a
parent
who's.
Now,
schooling
from
home,
like
as
much
consistency
as
we
can
have
around
programs
and
applications
that
kids
are
using
and
then
just
helping
our
new,
our
parent
community
dive
deeper.
I
don't
necessarily
think
it's
helpful,
for
you
know
your
second
grader
and
your
kindergarten
to
have
a
bunch
of
different
applications.
They
have
to
learn
and,
and
then
say
the
department
is
offering
a
new
application.
H
A
And
thank
you,
ms
benitez
thompson,
and
you
know
I'm
I
this
moment
in
time.
I
am
so
glad
that
my
children
are
grown.
I
do
I
cannot
imagine
what
parents
are
facing
right
now,
so
I
really
appreciate
all
the
great
questions
on
this.
This
is.
This
is
a
new
world
for
us
in
the
state
of
nevada
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
every
kid
is
involved
in
it.
A
B
D
J
B
Senator
woodhouse
yes
motion
passes
madam
chair.
A
Thank
you
very
much
miss
jones,
and
if
I
could
just
do
a
brief
reminder
to
all
the
committee
members,
please
do
remember
to
mute
when
you
can't,
when
you're
comfortable,
if
you're
unmuted
just
keep
that
in
the
back
of
your
mind,
and
if
you
please
keep
your
cameras
on
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
we
always
have
a
quorum
and
there
isn't
an
issue
since
we're
working
virtually.
We
have
to
be
able
to
verify
that
there
are
enough
members
in
the
committee
to
be
able
to
move
forward
and
and
process
the
items.
A
So
when
you
can
keep
your
cameras
on
please
so
with
that
we'll
go
ahead
and
go
to
item
number
two
department
of
business
and
industry
housing,
the
account
for
low
income
housing.
This
is
the
rental
assistance
program
that
will
be
funded
through.
Some
cares
act
dollars
if
we
could
go
ahead
and
queue
up.
Our
first
presenter,
I
believe,
from
the
department
of.
I
Good
morning,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
my
name
is
steve
across
the
administrator
of
the
nevada
housing
division.
I
want
to
thank
the
committee
for
consideration
of
this
work
program
which
will
provide
much
needed
rental
assistance
to
the
nevada
families
impacted
by
the
code
of
19
pandemic
and
their
resulting
economic
hardships.
I
I
Early
on
in
this
process,
it
was
evident
that
clark
county
was
going
to
use
some
of
its
allocated
direct
allocated
crf
for
a
rental
assistance
program,
and
so,
as
we
have
oversight
over
the
entire
state,
it
made
sense
to
us
to
effectively
use
the
same
parameters.
They
were
using
for
rental
assistance
for
consistency.
I
I
I
Both
entities
are
well
versed
and
have
existing
assistance
program
and
it
dramatically
simplified
the
communications
and
agreements
we
need
to
have
in
place
to
get
the
money
out
to
those
who
so
desperately
need
it
by
using
their
already
established
geographic
parameters,
we
can
ensure
there
will
not
be
a
duplication
of
assistance,
as
any
household
within
a
specific
county
will
only
be
assisted
by
the
agency
serving
that
county
in
clark
that
will
be
clark:
county
social
services
in
washoe,
the
reno
housing
authority
and
in
the
15
rural
counties,
nevada,
rural
housing
authority.
I
I
It's
really
really
exciting
to
see
the
engagement
and
their
enthusiasm
for
getting
the
program
out
per
the
program
parameters.
Rha
well,
renal
housing
authority
will
receive
5
million
of
the
funding
nevada.
Rural
housing
authority
will
receive
5
million
in
addition,
and
the
balance
of
20
million
will
be
reserved
for
clark
county.
I
The
last
point
I'd
like
to
make
is
the
eviction
moratorium,
stop
the
clock,
but
it
didn't
stop
time.
Rent
is
still
due.
Landlords
need
to
meet
their
obligations
and
renters
need
to
stay
sheltered
for
the
benefit
of
all
nevadans.
Given
the
health
challenges
we
are
seeing
with
that
high
level
oversight,
I
will
turn
it
over
to
treasurer
conan
for
some
introductory
comments.
D
Okay
perfect
good
morning,
madam
chair
and
committee
members,
I'm
treasurer
zach
ko9,
I'm
here
today
to
provide
some
brief
testimony
on
behalf
of
this
work
program
which
will
transfer
30
million
dollars
in
corona
virus
relief
funds
to
the
division
of
housing
to
provide
a
residential
relief
program.
At
the
outset,
I'd
like
to
thank
my
colleagues
in
the
housing
department
for
the
important
feedback
of
members
of
this
legislative
body
and
others,
and
governors
just
like
for
the
faith
that
we
can
get
this
program
up
and
running
as
quickly
as
we're
about
to
with
your
support.
D
We
know
that
many
families
have
been
hit
hard
by
the
economic
effects
of
covet
19
executive
directive.
008
was
successful
in
helping
nevada
residents
remain
in
their
homes
during
the
coven
19
pandemic.
However,
now
the
moratorium
is
in
the
beginning
stages
of
being
lifted.
Back
nevada
must
take
steps
to
avoid
a
potential
backlog
of
missed
rent
payments
resulting
in
a
wave
of
evictions
throughout
the
state
in
working
with
the
division
of
housing.
Our
goal
is
to
stand
up
a
program
that
is
easy
to
understand,
easy
to
apply
for
and
will
ensure
landlords
get
paid
back.
D
As
quickly
as
possible,
as
indicated
by
the
nevada
housing
division,
they
will
administer
the
program
in
coordination
with
local
housing
authorities,
local
housing
assistance
programs.
Excuse
me
such
as
clark,
county
social
services,
the
reno
housing
authority
and
the
nevada
rural
housing
authority.
The
statewide
administration
of
the
program
will
ensure
standardization
of
rental
relief
available
to
tenants
in
southern
northern
and
rural
nevada
funds
will
be
paid
directly
to
the
landlord
on
tens
behalf
and
are
offered
as
a
grant
to
eligible
nevada.
D
Tenants,
therefore,
not
being
required
to
pay
back
be
paid
back
under
the
guns
from
the
federal
treasury
on
the
chronovirus
relief
fund.
Ross
is
committed
to
working
with
housing,
providing
a
support
they
may
need
in
getting
the
program
stood
up
as
effectively
and
as
quickly
as
possible.
That
concludes
my
brief
remark.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time
this
morning
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
from
the
committee.
A
Thank
you
treasurer.
I
guess
before
we
go
too
much
further,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
all
on
the
same
page,
because
in
the
packet
that
I
received
there's
also
on
page
2.9,
there's
a
discussion
of
a
commercial
provision
to
pay
commercial
lease
payments.
Is
that
part
of
the
discussion
this
morning
on
this
particular
work
program.
A
Okay,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody's
kind
of
on
the
same
page
so
with
that
I'd
like
to
go
ahead
and
just
get
a
couple
of
clarifying
questions
out
of
the
way.
And
then
I
do
have
some
members
who
have
questions
and
in
the
interest
of
full
disclosure
to
the
committee
and
and
to
the
public,
and
we
are
a
citizens
legislature
in
my
private
life,
the
non-profit,
that
I
am
an
executive
director
of,
does
do
rental
assistance
and
has
done
rental
assistance,
for
I
think,
close
to
almost
25
years.
A
So
we
understand
how
important
this
is,
and
we
also
understand
how
difficult
it
can
be
and
some
of
the
challenges
that
can
happen
when
you're
trying
to
provide
this
type
of
assistance.
A
I
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
I
do
appreciate
that
and
it's
my
understanding
that
you
will
be
able
to
assist,
to
get
folks
on
an
even
keel.
So
even
if
they've
got
two
to
three
months
in
arrears
and
we're
looking
at
trying
to
stabilize
them
through
the
eviction
moratorium
time
frame,
you
will
be
able
to
assist
them
with
possibly
three
four
or
five
months
worth
of
assistance.
I
Record
that
is
affirmative.
I
We
modeled
this
after
the
clark
county
rental
assistance
program
and
you
can
go
up
to
arrears
all
the
way
back
into
april
and
potentially
march,
depending
on
what
the
covet
effect
was
on
the
applicant.
A
Correct
and
these
dollars
do
need
to
be
spent
by
december.
The
30th-
and
I
did
hear
you
say
there
would
be
a
clawback
provision,
so
there
will
be
monthly
or
bi-monthly
monitoring
to
make
sure
that
money
is
being
expended
and
if
someone's
having
a
harder
time
expending
it
it's
going
faster
on
another
tranche.
You
would
be
able
to
shift
those
dollars
to
address
those
needs.
A
Okay,
all
righty.
I
think
that
pretty
much
covers
what
I
have.
Oh,
I
do
have
one
other
one
in
committee,
I'm
I'm
sorry,
but
so
I
know
one
of
the
difficulties
we've
had
in
in
southern
nevada,
with
the
emergency
food
and
shelter
program
dollars
is,
we
do
have
citizens
that
don't
necessarily
have
a
lease
per
se.
They
have
a
rental
agreement
and
the
person
that
they're
renting
from
may
not
have
the
w-9
is
what
type
of
guidance
will
you
be
giving
to
the
folks
receiving
this
money
on
how
they
should
handle
that?
A
Because
we
know
we
have
a
lot
of
people
with
cohabitation
different
there's
a
lot
of
different
ways
to
pay
for
the
roof
over
your
head.
So
what
type
of
guidance
will
you
be
giving
on
that.
I
So
stevia
cross
again
for
the
record.
We
will
be
requiring
a
current
lease
agreement.
We
will
be
crop
requiring
some
rent
roll,
some
proof
that
those
folks
have
have
resided
there
and
we
will
be
requiring
a
w-9
to
be
filed
with
the
division
and
with
the
chair's
permission,
if
chris
and
cooper
from
clark
county
would
like
to
kind
of
chime.
In
on
that,
I
would
appreciate
it.
A
And-
and
that's
that's
great
and
ms
cooper
nice
to
see
you,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
were
all
working
under
the
same
guidelines.
And
everyone
was
aware
that
this
this
program
helps
a
lot
of
folks.
But
there
are
some
folks
out
there
that
are
kind
of
outside
the
silo.
K
Great,
thank
you.
Kristin
cooper,
clark,
county
social
service.
We
currently
are
you
have
to.
They
have
to
submit
a
w-9,
that's
part
of
this,
and
so
if
there
are
special
circumstances,
that
is
something
that
then
I
think,
as
a
group
of
there's
14
agencies
that
we're
working
with
that.
We
would
need
to
have
a
discussion
with
everybody.
If
that
becomes
an
issue
and
figure
out
what
we
could
do,
because
currently
we
they
have
to
have
a
w-9.
A
Okay
and
thank
you
and
miss
cooper,
if
I
could
have
you
clarify
one
other
thing
for
me
and
then
I'll
turn
it
over
to
my
committee
members
who
have
questions.
I
know
as
far
as
the
state's
concerned
when
it
comes
to
income,
we
do
not
count
medicaid
as
income.
We
have
that
discussion
in
one
of
our
presentations
here.
While
we
were
in
special
session.
A
How
is
the
county
viewing
the
600
extras
in
unemployment?
As
far
as
income
goes,
I
know,
medicaid
will
not
count
that
against
you
for
qualifying
how
is
clark
county
viewing
that
600?
I
know
you
have
a
check,
an
income
requirement
that
you're
looking
at
and
a
reserve
requirement
for
those
particular
folks
that
they
can
have
no
more
than
three
thousand
dollars
in
a
checking
or
savings
account.
How
are
you
looking
at
that
at
six
hundred
dollar
bump
through
unemployment.
K
Again,
kristin
cooper
for
the
record.
We
are
counting
that
as
income
and,
however,
our
income
max
is
120
of
area
median,
which
is,
if
somebody's
getting
600
on
top
of
let's
say:
400,
that's
4
000
a
month
they're
still
going
to
qualify
under
the
120
of
area,
median
income.
A
Thank
you
very
much
miss
cooper.
I
was
hoping
you
would
put
that
on
the
record
for
us
today,
just
to
make
sure
people
understood
we're
we're
looking
for
a
way
to
spend
this
we're
looking
for
ways
to
say.
Yes,
we're
not
looking
for
ways
to
say
no,
so
thank
you
very
much
for
all
the
flexibility
clark
county
has
put
into
this
program.
So
with
that
I
do
have
some
members
and
committee.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
latitude
to
be
able
to
get
some
of
those
things
out.
A
I
think
I'd
like
to
go
to
ms
spiegel.
First.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
my
question
is
related
to.
I
know
that
las
vegas
got
federal
dollars
to
help
with
housing
assistance,
but
henderson
and
north
las
vegas
and
other
parts
of
the
state
did
not,
and
I
was
wondering
if
priority
would
be
given
to
people
who
do
not
qualify
for
other
programs,
such
as
the
program
that
the
city
of
los
angeles
is
putting
together.
I
This
is
steve
across
for
the
record,
as
my
understanding
is
right
now
lost
the
city
of
las
vegas
has
put
a
pause
on
their
program.
They
allocated
four
million
dollars
worth
of
funding
to
this
program.
They
are
not
currently
accepting
applications
when
that
an
individual
receives
that
money
that
will
be
counted,
and
so,
if
that's
to
go
back
to
the
chairs
first
question
in
arrears.
If
that
goes
and
covers
their
arrears,
they
will
be
eligible
going
forward,
provided
that
assistance
did
not
cover
their
rents
upcoming.
A
And
so
with
that,
I
believe
I
can
go
to
ms
benitez
thompson
got
a
question.
H
Thank
you.
Sorry.
I
just
had
to
switch
between
screens
there,
so
my
questions
are
in
the
line
of
applicability
throughout
the
state
to
ensure
we
kind
of
have,
I
would
hope,
like
common
application
questions
that
are
going
to
be
asked,
I
could
print
off
and
see
the
clark
county
social
services
application
program,
so
I
saw
that
five
page
application
and
the
questions
that
are
being
asked.
H
I
the
one
thing
I
really
like
about
this
one,
that's
a
big
difference
from
what
I
see
from
the
division
of
housing
and
mr
a
crop.
I
know
that
your
application's
online,
and
so
I
would
have
to
start
an
application
myself
in
order
to
see
what
questions
are
going
to
be
asked
if
a
paper
version
could
be
made
available,
I
think
that
that's
really
helpful
to
make
referrals
such
as
social
workers
or
other
nonprofit
organizations
to
be
able
to
just
download
a
paper
copy.
H
So
I
can't
tell
if
the
questions
being
asked
specifically,
but
I
do
know
in
another
program
you
have
with
like
the
for
help
with
the
down
payment,
the
security
deposit
in
rentals.
In
that
application,
you
require
the
social
security
number
for
all
adult
age
of
18.,
which
to
me
just
really
seems
like
it
would
be
a
barrier
for
families
who
are
looking
to
apply.
H
I
would,
I
would
hope
that
in
the
state's
rental
application
process,
that
it
would
mere
a
lot
more
like
clark
counties
where
it's
asking
questions
like
that,
it's
simply
requiring
that
you
provide
the
lease
and
as
long
as
the
applicant's
name
and
id
is
matching
the
name
on
the
lease,
then
we're
good
to
go
without
having
to
have
the
entire
family
or
those
under
the
roof,
submitting
the
applications
and
then
on
the
the
for
the
city
of
the
reno
housing
authority.
H
I
I
see
a
couple
different
places
where
these
program
dollars
might
lie,
and
so
I
wanted
clarification.
I
didn't
know
because
they've
got
a
landlord
program
and
they
have
their
traditional
hud
programs.
So
I
imagine
for
the
reno
housing
authority.
They
will
have
a
new
application
and
a
new
process
specific
to
these
dollars,
but
I
just
didn't
want
to
work
from
that
assumption,
and
I
didn't
know
if
someone
could
tell
me:
are
they
gonna?
I
I
will
defer
to
amy
jones
at
reno
housing
authority
to
answer
specifically
what
their
process
will
be.
L
A
E
C
Okay,
okay,
so
we
will
have.
H
Okay,
thank
you.
So
then
it'll
be
a
new
application
type
and
then
do
you.
Do
you
have
a
time
frame
for
when
that
might
be
available
for
folks
in
reno.
E
That
is
available
now
and
I
could
I'd
be
happy
to
get
a
copy
to
anyone
who
would
like
to
review
that.
H
Yeah,
that
would
be
great.
I
was
playing
around
on
this
looking
for
it
and
I
I
probably
missed
it.
I
did
see
the
traditional
five
page
application
or
just
to
sign
up
for
services,
so
I
didn't
know
if
it
was
going
to
be
that
application
or
if
it
would
be
broken
out
and
then
mr
a
crop.
I
saw
that
on
the
housing
division
site
you
guys
set
up
that
chap
the
cares
housing
assistance
program,
so
it
looks
like
you
already
have
a
landing
site.
H
I
Yeah
that
steve
across
for
the
record,
we
don't
have
that
application.
I
think
you're
referring
to
the
one
at
the
nevada
rural
housing
authority,
because
they
already
have
their
chat
page
up
so
I'll
turn
it
over
to
bill.
Brewer
executive
director
of
the
nevada,
rural
housing
authority.
H
D
H
H
Okay,
thank
you
and
I
it
would
just
be
my
request
if
you
could
stick
a
paper
application
up.
Having
worked
in
rural
areas
with
real
persons
before
I
know
it's
just
easier
for
community
providers
to
sometimes
pay
for
application
at
hand.
H
Also
I'll
give
an
example
of,
like
the
the
senior
wonderful
wonderful
senior
center
out
there
in
silver
springs
nevada
like
how
their
staff
will
be
helpful
in
helping
people
complete
applications
versus
asking
a
very
you,
know,
elderly
or
medically
fragile
person
to
do
it
all
on
their
own
online.
I
I
Again,
with
housing
authority,
we're
happy
to
do
that
as
required
and
would
certainly
hope
to
assist
those
folks.
A
Okay,
I
believe
everyone
heard
you.
I
could,
I
think,
we're.
Okay
with
that,
I
can
go
to
assemblywoman
neil.
F
Thank
you
chair,
so
I
had
a
question
and
I
don't
know
if
it's
to
a
crop
or
the
county,
but
what
I
heard
folks
say
was
that
they're
going
to
be
14
agencies
that
you're
going
to
be
working
with,
but
what's
not
clear,
is
how
north
las
vegas
residents
will
be
able
to
participate
through
clark.
County
in
terms
of
the
program
is:
is
there
going
to
be
some
sub
granting
to
north
las
vegas
or
their
specific
non-profits
that
operate
in
north
las
vegas
that
are
going
to
receive
the
funds.
K
This
is
christian
cooper,
clark,
county
social
service.
I
can
answer
that.
Madam
chair.
That's!
Okay!
Thank
you
all
right.
So
these
funds,
because
we
are
clark,
county
social
service
and
we
serve
all
of
southern
nevada.
These
funds
are
available
to
anyone
in
southern
nevada.
It
doesn't
matter
what
jurisdiction
they
live
in.
There
are
also
agencies
that
are
specifically
located
in
north
las
vegas,
who
have
received
some
of
this
funding.
We
have
14
agencies
and
all
so
they're,
actually
scattered
throughout
southern
nevada
and
we'll
be
providing
this
assistance
from
las
vegas.
F
And
then
and
then
my
second
question
is,
you
said
you
were
you're
going
to
count
the
the
600,
but
the
600
ends
on
july
25th.
So
so,
how
will
that
be
reviewed?
If,
if
because
I
don't
know
when
this
program
is
going
to
start
so,
let's
say
application
is
put
in
on
7
26
and
then
you
know
that
the
600
is
going
to
dry
up.
How,
then,
will
the
review
happen.
K
So
the
that
will
not
preclude
them
so
somebody's
getting
600
unless
they're
they
would
have
to
get
a
substantial
amount
of
unemployment
that
just
the
state
doesn't
allow.
They
would
still
qualify
under
this,
so
the
600
is
not
going
to
stop
them
generally
from
qualifying
for
these
funds
and
then,
of
course,
when
the
funds
go
away,
then
they're
in
an
even
worse
position.
K
So
that's
why
we
did
this
program
for
such
a
long
period
and
made
it
available
not
just
for
one
month
but
for
you
know
many
months
so
that
if
somebody
needs
to
come
back
to
us
or
if
the
agencies
in
advance
can
see
that
this
person
is
getting
the
pua
and
that
it's
going,
I
think
we
all
know
it's
going
to
expire
at
least
for
right
now.
Then
they
would
they
can
sort
of
pre-commit
those
funds
to
help
in
the
fought
the
following
month.
K
Unless,
of
course
you
know
they
end
up
going
back
to
work
or
or
finding
a
job,
and
even
then
we
look
backwards
for
the
assistance,
so
we
wouldn't
be
penalizing
somebody
if
they
were
to
suddenly
get
their
job.
We
want
to
help
them
get
back
on
their
feet,
so
we're
trying
to
make
this
as
as
liberal
as
possible
to
not
have
the
damage
that
we
had
after
the
2008
recession,
where
people
took
years
and
years
and
years
to
recover
we're
trying
to
ameliorate
that,
in
the
in
our
small
way,
good
chair.
E
Thank
you,
madam
care,
and
I
just
have
a
couple
quick
questions,
and
this
might
be
premature,
but
is
there
any
way
to
be
able
to
tell
about
how
many
nevada
households
will
be
able
to
assist.
I
This
is
steve
across
with
the
housing
division.
I
wish
I
could
answer
that
question.
It's
the
million-dollar
question
so
to
to
go
back
to
what
was
stated
earlier.
The
goal
is
to
get
folks
who
are
in
arrears
caught
up.
You
know
there
is
not
necessarily
a
cap
on
it.
So
if
we
have
to
go
back,
you
know
and
provide
three
months
of
assistance
and
just
for
simple
math,
a
thousand
dollars
for
those
three
months.
That
person
is
getting,
you
know
three
thousand
dollars
and
then
maybe
a
little
bit
going
forward.
I
So
it's
not
you
know
it's
not
a
flat
state
of
alaska,
as
an
example
is
doing
a
flat
twelve
hundred
dollars
with
ten
million
dollars
of
assistance.
So
they
know
the
math
on
that
is
they're
going
to
help
8
000
residents.
We
don't
have
that
number
based
off
that
we
know
the
need
is
hugely
hugely
dramatic
and
we're
gonna
do
the
best
we
can
to
to
get
it
out
to
those
folks.
D
D
A
E
Yes,
ms
harkey,
thank
you
and
just
another
quick
question.
Following
up
on
that,
you
guys
will
be
requesting
lease
agreements.
Will
the
payments
may
be
made
directly
to
the
landlord
on
the
lease
agreement
or
will.
E
And
then
just
one
last
question,
madam
chair,
as
I
was
going
through
the
figures
just
just
so
I
have
this
correctly
clark.
County
was
awarded
money
and
they
have
a
program
for
30
million
dollars
and
on
top
of
that,
they're
going
to
receive
20
million
dollars.
So
there
will
be
a
total
of
50
million
dollars
available
in
clarke,
county
and
then
10
million
dispersed
throughout
the
rest
of
the
state.
I
E
Okay,
so
that
was
my
question
so,
in
addition
to
the
20
million
dollars
that
we're
going
to
be
providing
from
the
state
clark
county
has
an
additional
30
million
dollars.
A
And
and
thank
you,
miss
haudegee
and
we
will
go
to
senator
brooks,
I
believe,
is
next.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
want
to
follow
up
on
assemblywoman
howard
question.
K
About
how
many
households
will
receive
assistance
and
using
the
alaska
example,
why
hasn't
the
division
implemented
a
floor
or
a
ceiling
on
what
that
payment
should
be.
I
Thank
you
for
the
question:
stevie
nevada,
housing
division.
The
answer
is,
is
twofold:
number
one
that
was
again
going
back
to
clark
county
was
developing
their
program.
They
worked
with
their
rs4
disaster
recovery
group
in
determining
the
parameters
of
their
program.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
as
a
backstop,
we
would
stay
right
within
the
lanes
that
they've
already
developed.
I
That's
number
one
number
two.
If
we
did
a
flat
fee
going
back
to
the
alaska
example
where
you're
providing
twelve
hundred
dollars
assistance,
you
can
spread
that
potentially
further
to
more
recipients,
but
does
twelve
hundred
dollars
keep
them
in
their
home,
and
I
would
say
the
question
is
to
the
answer
to
that
particular
question
is
probably
not.
A
M
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
have
a
few
questions.
If
that's?
Okay,
that's
fine!
Thank
you,
I'm
not
sure
who
would
like
to
answer
this,
but
it's
directed
to
clark
county
we've
heard
discussion
after
discussion
after
discussion.
We
talk
about
education
that
we
do
not
have
the
internet
capabilities
for
many
of
our
families
for
their
children
to
be
able
to
access
education.
M
These
will
be
some
of
the
same
families
that
will
be
hurting
the
most
when
it
comes
to
housing.
Assistance
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
other
ways
for
those
families
to
access
these
funds
other
than
having
to
go
online,
because
if
they
are
not
able
to
go
online
then
they
would
not
be
able
to
access
them.
That's
my
first
question:
have
we
thought
about
that,
and
how
do
we
get
the
word
out
to
these
families?
How
will
they
know
that
these
funds
are
available?
M
What's
the
marketing
strategy
behind
that?
That
would
be
my
first
two
questions.
Then
I
have
another.
K
K
So
they
can
also
call
and
work
with
somebody
on
the
phone
to
fill
out
the
application
online
and
then,
if
they
aren't
able
to
if
they
don't
have
a
phone
where
they
can
take
a
picture
of
their
documents
and
send
those
in
that
kind
of
thing,
then
they
can
work
with
the
agency
and
and
they
will
do
on-site
on
a
scheduled
basis.
K
You
know
to
keep
the
social
distancing
to
make
sure
that
people
are
safe,
so
that
option
is
available
and
then
marketing
word
of
mouth
will
be
the
will
be
what
will
happen,
but
we're
also
getting
a
hold
of
the
apartment
association
to
let
them
know
this
is
going
out
on
our
help,
hope
home
website
and
it's
going
out
to
all
of
our
social
service
agencies
that
we
currently
have
and
and
also
have
applied
for
funding
for
us
for
a
lot
of
other
other
programs
that
we
currently
operate,
and
so
they'll
all
be
getting
notification
of
this.
K
We
will
then
take
a
look
at
we'll,
be
releasing
a
press
release
with
information
about
this.
So
this
will
get
out
to
the
newspaper
and
and
our
all
the
different.
You
know
media
so
quite
a
bit
we're
doing
a
a
soft
opening
right
now,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
all
of
our
technical
difficulties
that
we
may
run
into
get
worked
out
before
that
tsunami
hits.
But
it's
it's
coming
next
week.
D
And
this
is
a
treasure
coast
to
add
on
to
that,
from
a
state
perspective,
we'll
be
using
earned
media
to
get
the
word
out.
We've
got
resource
guides
in
english
and
spanish
that
we'll
be
able
to
give
to
community
partners
to
be
able
to
share
and
we'll
continue
pounding
the
pavement
to
make
sure
everybody
knows
about
it,
both
on
the
landlord's
side,
so
that
they
can
encourage
their
renters
to
do
it.
The
landlord's
here
being
incented
to
find
a
solution
right.
D
We
think
that's
going
to
be
a
big
source
of
demand
into
the
system
and
I
would
say
to
tackle
clark
county's
point.
It
was
really
important
for
us
to
make
sure
that
the
individual
programs
worked
before
we
started
encouraging
a
tsunami
of
of
applications
right.
We
don't
want
to
have
another
situation
where
the
program
over
promised
number
delivers.
M
K
So
our
targeted
heart
date
is
monday
and
we
are
soft
open.
We're
like
soft
open
right
now
with
several
of
our
agencies,
testing
the
systems
doing
that
soft
opening
right
now,
and
what
we
have
already
found
is
that
we
have
they're
doing
pre-screening
and
we
have
at
the
moment
over
500
and
it'll.
It's
slow
is
quickly
heading
higher
in
terms
of
the
number
of
people
who
are
have
pre-applied
already
and
are
really
already
have
been
deemed
yeah.
K
They
would
probably
qualify
it's
just
a
matter
of
getting
their
documentation
at
this
point.
So
we're
already
seeing
a
large
search.
We're
expecting
this
to
be
the
city
of
las
vegas
when
they
first
opened
their
program,
they
got.
I
think
it
was
2000
phone
calls
in
the
first
day
and
a
half
or
2000
applicants
in
the
first
day
and
a
half
we're
expecting
to
triple
that
in
our
first
week.
M
Thank
you
for
that.
So
my
last
question,
and
I
guess
my
request
more
than
a
question-
is
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
every
household
that
needs
help
is
able
to
access
help,
but
we
also
know
that
we're
limited
in
the
amount
of
funding
that's
available.
So
if
there
are
nevadans
that
had
access
to
another
program
for
seeing
the
las
vegas
city
program
and
they
were
able
to
see
fundings
from
that
program,
is
there
any
way?
M
Although
I
know
you
say
it's
first
come
first
serve
but
anyway
to
prioritize
those
families
who
have
not
received
any
assistance
from
any
other
source
to
be
at
the
top
of
the
list,
so
that
at
least
we
can
make
sure
that
each
family
gets
something
to
help
them
with
their
rental
assistance.
We
don't
want
to
see
a
family
lose
everything
while
another
family
had
all
of
their
bills
taken
care
of.
Does
that
make
sense?
Is
there
a
way
to
do
that?
As
you
said,
this
system.
K
This
is
christine
cooper.
At
this
point.
We
don't
have
that
capacity.
We've
moved
so
quickly
to
get
this
out,
that
that
is
not
something
that's
built
into
the
system,
but
that
is
something
that
I
can
take
back
to
our
14
providers
and
discuss
with
them,
because
you're
right
there
are
going
to
be
people
who
have
received
the
money
that
they
got
through
the
treasurer's
office
that
went
out
to
the
different
agencies
through
the
cities,
north
las
vegas
and
las
vegas.
A
I
Please
go
ahead.
Thank
you.
There
are
additional
funding
was
provided
in
the
cares,
act,
increasing
our
emergency
solutions,
grant
and
cdbg
cv
funds.
I
So
one
thing
is
we
want
to
get
that
funding
out
the
door,
because
if
it
doesn't
get
out
the
door
it
gets
returned
to
the
federal
government,
then
we
can
go
over
to
the
esg
funds
or
the
potential
jurisdiction
could
use
the
cdbg
cv
funds
to
backstop
this
program,
albeit
it
might
be
a
smaller
group
of
individuals,
but
they
are
going
to
be
more
in
need
and
then
the
last
thing
that
I
will
add
when
the
governor
issued
chronovirus
relief
funds
out
to
the
jurisdictions
and
the
counties
if
the
county
wants
to
provide
two
and
I'll
use
nrha
as
an
example,
if
lincoln
county
says
hey,
we
don't
need
all
this
chronovice
relief
funds.
I
M
So,
along
those
lines,
those
other
areas
where
money
is
available,
emergency
money
is
available
with
the
local
municipality
have
to
apply
for
that
funding
directly
or
whether
they
have
to
go
through
the
state
or
go
through
the
county.
How
the
local
municipalities
access
that
funding
to
assist
their
residents.
I
C
Good
morning,
jacob
rowe
with
the
nevada
housing
division
for
the
record,
so
we
currently,
if.
C
All
right
I'll
take
my
headphones
off.
Can
you
hear
me
now.
C
Okay
to
to
the
question,
we
have
currently
two
meetings
this
week
with
the
governor's
office
of
economic
development
that
administers
the
cdbg
funds,
one
this
afternoon
at
three
o'clock
that
I
have
arranged
to
with
local
jurisdictions,
specifically,
those
in
clark
county,
invited
representatives
from
all
the
cbg
entitlement
communities,
our
county
henderson
city
of
las
vegas
and
city
of
north
las
vegas.
C
So
the
plan
there
is
to
discuss
what
current
programs
the
existing
grantees
are
using
their
cdg
funds
for
and
how
so
they
can
inform
the
governor's
office
and
economic
development
on
how
to
potentially
distribute
those
funds
to
local
jurisdictions.
C
Additionally,
on
thursday,
we
have
a
division
meeting
the
nevada
housing
division
with
the
department
of
the
governor's
office
of
the
economic
development
discuss
on
a
state
level
how
we
can
assist
the
governor's
office
of
economic
development
to
coordinate
the
distribution
of
those
funds,
we're
current
they're,
currently
working
on
the
formula
on
how
to
calculate
how
much
funds
to
distribute
so
we're
basically
currently
working
on
the
process
on
giving
those
out.
C
We
are
in
the
process
of
our
hud
department,
housing
urban
development
planning,
to
access
those
funds
and
to
identify
how
we
can
get
those
funds
out
to
meet
the
needs,
potentially
distribute
those
to
cities
like
the
city
of
henderson
that
don't
normally
receive
those
funds
to
strategically
place.
Those
funds
to
address
households
that
are
in
need.
A
Thank
you
and
miss
monroe
moreno.
I
could
for
clarification
purposes
if
I
could
ask
miss
cooper
to
come
back
on
and
possibly
go
through
the
hmis
system,
the
homeless
management
information
system,
the
clark
county
uses.
I
know
my
agency
uses
that
to
make
sure
that,
as
people
are
receiving
service
in
clark
county,
that
we
can
kind
of
verify
what
services
they're
getting
so
that
we
don't
don't
have
folks
access
services
on
a
parallel
track
when
they,
when
they
shouldn't
be
so
ms
cooper.
A
If
you
could
clarify
that,
I
think
that
might
help
the
committee
understand
how
clark
county
handles
this.
K
Kristen
cooper
for
the
record,
I'd
be
happy
to
madam
chair,
so
the
hmis
or
cmis
community
management
information
system,
the
organizations,
the
14
organizations
that
are
receiving
these
funds
are
all
they
currently
use
that
system
and
the
funding
that
they
received
prior
to
this
for
rental
assistance,
that's
also
being
tracked
in
hmis,
so
all
these
agencies
will
be
able
to
go
in
and
see
if
somebody
has
already
received
assistance
somewhere
else
and
there
are
going
to
be
people
who
are
going
to
apply,
even
though
we
tell
them
not
to
apply
it
multiple
places
that
it
will
slow
down
their
application,
but
I'm
sure
there
will
be
people
who
will
apply
in
multiple
agencies.
K
That's
what
cimx
cmis
is
for
hmis
is
for
is
to
allow
the
agencies
to
go
and
see
that
and
then
be
able
to
figure
out
who's
going
to
actually
adjudicate
a
particular
application.
What's
been
great
about
this,
this
whole
thing
is
that
these
organizations
are
working
extremely
cooperatively.
Together.
We've
already
discussed
that
if
a
particular
agency
is
overrun
with
applications
that
we
will
be
able
to
take
those
applications
and
transfer
them
to
other
agencies,
that
may
not
be
overrun
or
oversubscribed
and
that
all
will
happen
through
htmls.
M
I
As
soon
as
we
receive
approval
and
and
sort
of
stress
test
the
systems
there
will
be
on
the
main
page
housing.nb.gov:
it's
not
there
yet,
but
there
will
be
a
one
stop
you
will
go
and
then,
depending
on
where
you
live
and
who
you
are
either
you're
a
tenant
or
a
landlord,
it
will
first
you
to
the
agency
that
will
help
you.
I
So
it's
sort
of
a
kind
of
a
flow
chart
of
you
come
into
us
and
you
go
to
either
washoe
rural
counties
or
clark
county,
and
then
it
goes
to
the
specific
agencies
that
are
listed.
That
or
that
engaged
you
in
the
conversation
as
we're.
Moving
on.
A
And
if
I
may
yeah,
just
as
a
person,
that's
is
passionate
about
this
world.
I
know
we
have
a
2-1-1
system
in
that
is
very,
very
good
about
asking
for
working
folks
through
the
system
and
making
sure
that
they
get
assistance
close
to
their
home,
so
they
will
base
things
off
of
zip
codes
also,
but
we
also
realized
with
zip
codes.
A
Also
to
get
other
assistance,
let's
say
food,
pantry,
utility
assistance,
all
the
other
things
that
families
are
going
to
need
to
get
get
through
this
crisis,
two
one
one
was
able
to
refer
them,
so
I've
done
my
public
service
announcement
for
two
on
one
today.
Okay,
all
right,
I
believe,
senator
cansala
has
a
question
yeah.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
it's
just
a
brief
comment.
I
the
sorry,
the
need
that
this
program
addresses
is
one
that
we
know
is
going
to
be
growing
or
quite
a
bit
in
our
in
our
state,
and
I
am
hopeful
that
at
some
point
we
will
see
a
second,
maybe
third,
work
program
that
increases
the
amount
of
rental
assistance
that
we're
distributing
throughout
the
state.
We
we
know
the
need
will
be
there.
Thank
you.
A
C
Yes,
madam
chair,
one
of
the
last
speakers
mentioned
cdbg,
I'm
just
wondering
if
we
could
go
back
and
touch
base
on
that,
because
I
was
one
of
the
authors
of
cbdg
a
number
of
years
ago
with
the
department
of
justice.
So
I'd
like
to
hear
some
more
explanation,
because
I,
as
I
said,
I
was
one
of
the
authors
of
the
legislation.
C
I
I
Cdbg
typically
cannot
be
used
for
rental
assistance,
however,
because
they
do
there's
a
couple
of
different
pockets
of
cdbg,
there's
cdbg
dr,
which
gets
released
to
a
jurisdiction
in
the
event
of
a
disaster
like
a
hurricane
or
an
earthquake,
or
something
along
those
lines.
In
this
particular
instance,
there
are
cdbg
cv
funds
and
they
are
specific
to
addressing
coronavirus,
relief
efforts,
and
that
might
be,
and
again
maybe
kristen,
because
you
do
get
cdbg.
I
You
can
probably
talk
a
little
more
intelligently
about
it
from
a
specific
project
standpoint,
but
whether
a
jurisdiction
chooses
to
use
this
for
rental
assistance
or
not
will
be
entirely
up
to
that
jurisdiction.
Hopefully,
that
provides
some
clarity.
A
A
I
think
this
is
a
a
wonderful
program.
I'm
I'm
glad
the
state
is
getting
involved.
I
hope
we
do
have
an
opportunity
to
have
a
discussion
about
the
money
that
is
going
to
go
ed
for
for
commercial
assistance
sometime
in
the
future
or
someone's
able
to
share
some
of
that
information
with
us.
I
know
as
this
crisis
has
evolved.
I
have
had
conversations
with
a
number
of
different
business
owners,
saying
how
do
you
guys
do
this
you've
been
doing
it
for
a
long
time
if
we
had
the
money?
A
How
do
we
implement
something
like
this?
So
I'm
I'm
hoping
they
don't
try
to
recreate
the
wheel
and
reach
out
to
the
folks,
who've
been
doing
it
for
a
while,
so
that
we
can
help
them
get
the
money
on
the
ground
fast,
because
the
one
thing
about
this
money
is,
it
has
to
be
spent
by
december,
the
30th.
A
A
So
with
that,
I
don't
believe
there
are
any
other
questions
on
this
item.
A
E
K
C
A
A
If
we
could
cue
up
the
correct
person,
please.
L
L
As
you
know,
the
the
copen
pandemic
has
really
had
a
tremendous
impact
on
our
older
populations,
especially
those
in
long-term
care,
while
our
ombudsmen
continue
to
advocate
on
behalf
of
the
residents
in
these
facilities.
Unfortunately,
they
have
not
had
an
on-site
presence
since
the
week
of
march
9th.
That
has
been
our
federal
guidance.
L
Some
of
the
things
that
we're
looking
at
doing
is
distributing
tablets
to
various
facilities
based
on
their
size,
so
that
they
have
that
interaction.
We're
also
looking
at
deploying
and
distributing
activity
books
that
will
contain
puzzles,
and
you
know,
mind,
stimulating
activities
so
that
folks
remain
engaged.
L
We're
also
looking
at
something
a
little
bit
unique
and
we've
been
working
with
the
bureau
of
healthcare
quality
and
compliance,
which
is
the
licensing
agency
we'd
like
to
get
into
the
facilities
of
visitation
stations,
and
so
these
would
be
plexiglas
or
some
other
type
of
barrier.
That
folks
could
go
on
the
resident
on
one
side
and
then
their
family
or
family
member
on
the
other
side,
and
they
can
communicate
that
way.
L
We
actually
did
start
working
with
the
bureau
of
healthcare
quality
and
compliance
to
make
sure
that
that
was
going
to
be
something
that
they
would
allow,
and
they
are
in
the
process
now
of
surveying
facilities
to
see
what
their
readiness
plans
are
to
allow
visitors
back
in
and
they
were
absolutely
excited.
So
we
are
working
with
the
bureau
in
this
endeavor
as
well.
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
other
questions.
A
L
I'm
sorry
jennifer
frischmann
for
the
record
in
researching
this.
It's
really
quite
interesting
and
and
what
manufacturers
and
other
providers
are
doing
to
make
it
look
homey
they
have
backdrops
of
the
beach
they
have
backdrops
of
the
eiffel
tower.
It's
it's
really
pretty
neat
the
way
that
providers
are
being
creative
and
engaging
their
residents.
So
we're
very
excited
about
that.
A
N
We
are
making
those
phone
calls
and
speaking
with
residents
when
we're
able
to
and
working
with
family
members,
to
ensure
that
we
can
advocate
in
their
best
interest
or
advocate
with
their
consent,
which
is
what
we
typically
do
we're
also
following
up
with
facility
staff
members
requesting
records,
as
we
typically
do
and
they're
sending
it
to
us
via
email
or
fax,
which
is
typically
a
little
bit
different
than
how
we
took
it
than
how
we
have
done
advocacy
before
we
have
been
able
to
have
some
video
chats
with
some
residents
and
we're
trying
to
do
some
virtual
visits
as
well.
N
So
we're
hoping
that,
with
the
deployment
of
the
tablets,
that
we
will
be
able
to
conduct
more
visits
this
way
and
actually
see
residents
more
face
to
face
because
a
lot
of
times
our
advocacy
and
our
investigations
are
done
using
all
of
our
senses
and
we're
limited
right
now
as
to
what
we
can
do.
The
cms
has
centers
for
medicare.
Medicaid
services
has
declared
us
essential
st
essential
individuals
to
have
access
to
the
residents,
but
we're
still
not
able
to
get
into
facilities
at
this
time.
A
A
A
B
D
E
F
A
B
A
You
that's
fine,
so
with
that
committee
members,
we
are
going
on
to
our
last
agendas
item.
We
still
do
have
public
comment
at
the
very
end,
but
we'll
go
to
item
number
four,
which
is
division
of
welfare
and
supportive
services,
a
discussion
to
implement
the
new
pandemic
electronic
benefits
transfer
program
for
food
assistance.
Otherwise
we
all
call
it
snap
so
with
that,
if
I
could
have
the
appropriate
person
queued
up.
O
O
This
work
program
is
to
request
authority
of
emergency
funds
awarded
as
part
of
the
cares
act
in
the
amount
of
eight
hundred
and
forty
eight
thousand
six
hundred
and
twenty
four
dollars
to
support
the
expenses
of
implementing
a
program
known
as
pandemic
ebt,
which
was
authorized
under
the
family's
first
corona
virus
response
act,
so
the
program
was
authorized
under
the
family's
first
act,
but
there
was
no
funding
in
that
act.
The
funding
is
available
in
the
cares
act,
a
pandemic,
edt
or
pebt
as
we're
calling.
O
It
allows
nevada
to
utilize
snap
program
to
release
snap
benefits
to
children
who
were
enrolled
in
free
and
reduced
lunch,
but
were
unable
to
access
those
meals
during
the
time
frame
that
schools
were
closed
due
to
the
covid19
pandemic.
Our
estimates
show
that
well
over
320
000
nevada
children
could
benefit
from
the
pebt
program,
with
an
estimated
total
benefit.
Just
under
the
maximum
benefit
looks
like
it
will
be
just
under
99
million
dollars
in
additional
stat
snap
benefits
would
be
released
to
nevada
families,
and
we
look
forward
to
taking
any
questions.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
and
I
can
tell
you
someone
who
works
in
a
food
pantry
when
the
kids
were
out
of
school.
We
were
picking
up
milk
twice
a
week.
Instead
of
once
a
week,
we
were
going
through
a
lot
more
milk
and
cereal
for
those
couple
of
months
there.
So
with
that
miss
monk,
I
believe
you
had
a
question.
A
E
O
Robert
thompson,
for
the
record,
no
outreach
is
needed
for
this
program.
We
do
not.
The
families
do
not
need
to
apply
for
this
program.
Rather,
we
are
doing
a
direct
match
with
the
department
of
education,
any
children
that
were
receiving
free
and
reduced
lunch
will
be
auto
matched
with
our
programs.
O
Children
that
were
were
on
the
snap
program
will
automatically
just
receive
the
additional
benefit,
we'll
be
adding
it
to
their
parents
card
children
that
were
not
on
the
snap
program.
We
will
be
sending
them
a
flyer
to
notify
them
of
the
program,
we'll
be
auto,
enrolling
them
in
the
program
and
we'll
be
mailing
ebt
card,
which
is
the
the
plastic
card
that
holds
the
benefit
auto
out
to
their
households.
A
So
with
that
flyer
there
will
be
an
explanation
and
I'm
assuming
whatever
accompanies
it,
will
be
in
multiple
languages
so
that
all
the
families
will
understand
that
this
card.
What
this
card
is
because
they
may
not
even
be
familiar
with
the
program,
so
I
think
there's
still
some
education
that's
going
to
go
on,
even
though
it
is
an
actual
outreach.
O
A
Okay
and
as
a
food
pantries
and
different
food
banks,
we
have
we
put
notices
out
for
families
to
help
educate
them.
So
would
it
be
possible
for
those
of
us
that
do
this
work
to
get
a
copy
of
those
flyers
so
that
we
can
make
sure
we
educate
our
clientele
on
the
availability
of
this
and
that
it
is
okay
to
use
it
that
they're
just
not
getting
a
card
in
the
mail
or
they
think?
A
O
Robert
thompson
for
the
record:
yes,
we
will
be
reaching
out
to
all
of
our
community
partners
and
doing
a
press
release,
but,
madam
chairperson,
yes,
we
will
reach
out
especially
to
our
food
bank
partners
to
make
sure
those
flyers
are
made
available.
A
E
Sharon,
thank
you,
mr
thompson.
So
one
of
the
things
in
clark
county
is
that
I
know
we
have
enough
people
who
speak
tog,
that
we
print
ballots
in
that
language.
I
think
it's
great
that
you've
got
materials
that
are
in
spanish,
but
I'm
wondering
if
there
are
any
plans
in
place
to
expand
that
to
also
include
tagalog.
O
We
do
have
a
language
line
available
to
any
customer
that
calls
in
so
we're
able
to
translate
with
any
language
that
someone
calls
into,
and
if
anybody
comes
into
our
office,
we
do
have
the
sheets
that
somebody
can
point
to
whichever
language
they're
speaking
so
that
we
can
get
somebody
on
the
phone
to
translate
with
us.
But
at
this
time
we
are,
there
are
not
plans
to
have
written
information
available
in
other
than
english
or
spanish.
A
And
ms
spiegel,
I
know
that
there
are
some
community
organizations
out
there
that
have
volunteered
to
do
translation
for
folks
so
that
you
can
post
so
that
we
can
post
things
on
the
doors
and
windows
where
services
are
provided
and
we've
even
gotten
to
the
point
where
we
can
put
qr
codes
on
there.
So
people
can
just
scan
it
with
their
phone
and
be
able
to
to
keep
it.
So
there
are
resources
out
there.
The
community
has
been
fantastic
and
coming
together
to
make
sure
that
we
can
all
communicate.
A
O
Food
nutrition
services
required
that
we
put
a
plan
together
and
it
was
not
possible
for
us
to
calculate
each
child
separately.
So
instead
we
did
an
average
of
all
school
days,
missed
in
nevada
from
the
pandemic,
taking
into
account
the
easter
breaks
and
taking
into
account
when
school
ended
in
each
district.
O
C
O
Robert
thompson
for
the
record
correct
it's
5.70
per
day
per
child
eligible
for
the
number
of
days
per
month.
If
a
child
was
enrolled
in
free
and
reduced
lunch
for
at
least
one
day
in
that
month,
they
would
receive
the
entire
month's
benefit
times,
5.70
per
child,
if
the
child,
if
the
children
were
in
all
three
months,
assuming
that
each
child
was
receiving
free
and
reduced
lunch
for
the
three
months,
the
benefit
is
calculated
at
296
dollars
per
child.
A
Thank
you
senator
I
I
was
on
mute.
I
said,
that's
that's
a
a
good
amount.
I
don't
think
I
could
have
ever
fed
one
of
my
kids
for
that
amount
of
money.
So
with
that
I
believe
senator
dennis
has
a
question.
C
Okay,
thank
you.
I
I'm
just
looking
at
the
costs
on
the
pebp.
C
It
looks
like
most
of
it
is
going
to
be
in
setup
and
then
the
non
snap,
households
and
and
and
that,
but
I
was
just
looking
at
the
like
the
it
development
in
I.t
testing,
seems
to
be
minimal.
Does
that
mean
there's
minimal
setup
and
programming
that
needs
to
occur
for
this
to
be
able
to
be
implemented?.
O
Robert
thompson
for
the
record:
yes,
the
the
the
development
costs
within
the
welfare
division
were
minimal.
The
majority
of
the
cost
for
this
program
out
of
the
almost
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
was
due
to
our
vendor
having
to
create
accounts
and
issue
ebt
cards
to
all
of
the
non-snap
household.
All
the
non-stop
children.
A
Are
there
any
other
questions
and
I'm
assuming
that,
when
this
benefit
hits
their
card,
it'll
be
the
the
same
scheme,
the
way
they
use
their
card
depending
upon
what
the
last
date
of
the
year
their
birth
is
the
date
that
the
benefits
will
be
available
and
will
it
all
be
loaded
at
one
time
then.
O
O
10
of
the
households
will
receive
their
benefit
per
day
for
10
days
to
not
overload
our
system
and
the
agreement
that
we
had
with
the
retailers
association
was
to
not
overload
the
retailers
all
at
once,
so
we
will
be
spreading
it
out
over
10
days.
A
Okay,
thank
you
because
that
becomes
a
problem.
The
shelves
become
empty,
we've
had
a
distribution
problem
in
las
vegas,
and
I've
noticed
many
times
depending
upon
what
day
it
is
you
can
go
in
and,
and
some
of
the
shelves
can
be
empty
so
by
spreading
that
out,
families
have
an
opportunity
to
get
the
things
that
they
need
to
purchase.
So
thanks
for
considering
that,
are
there
any
other
questions
from
any
other
committee
members
at
this
time.
A
Well,
it's
been
a
good
meeting,
we're
making
sure
people
have
a
roof
over
their
head
and
that
they're
fed.
So
these
are
important
issues.
So
seeing
no
other
questions,
I
can
go
ahead
and
accept
a
motion
on
this
from
miss
monk,
I'll,
accept
a
motion
and
then
a
second
from
senator
woodhouse.
J
G
B
A
Thank
you
very
much,
miss
jones.
So
with
that
that
completes
our
business
under
our
work
programs.
We
can
now
take
about
a
two
minute
pause
to
make
sure
that
anyone
that
does
want
to
call
in
under
public
comment
has
the
opportunity
to
do
so.
So
I
have
11
23
so
at
about
11
25,
we
will
come
back
and
check
with
broadcast
services
to
see
if
anyone
is
in
the
queue
and
then
we
will
proceed
from
there.
So
if
everyone
would
just
take
a
a
brief
pause
for
two
minutes,
that
would
be
great.
Thank
you.
A
I
believe
we
may
have
missed
a
couple
of
folks
on
the
roll
call
this
last
time.
I
don't
believe
we
got
miss
monk
or
miss
backus.
B
A
A
E
A
Callers
on
the
line
at
this
time-
okay,
committee
members-
I
believe
our
work
for
today
is
done.
Thank
you
all
very
much
for
your
time
and
attendance
we're
doing
things
on
double
track,
so
we
just
got
to
make
sure
everything
keeps
moving
forward.
So
with
that.
Thank
you
all
very
much,
and
this
ifc
meeting
is
adjourned.
