assemblywoman,
spiegel
absent

the

sends
its
deep

on
the

A
We

Public

email

or
by

in
directions
on

due
to
time

and
I
will

approximately
45

A
An
additional

make
public
comment
will
be
available
at
the
end
of
this
meeting
also
committee
members
and
members
of
the
public,
since
this
was
a
very
quickly
posted
meeting
to
deal
with
expeditious
work
programs.
We
are
sharing
the
resources
with
another
committee,
so
therefore
we
do
have
some
time
constraints.
This
morning.
We,
the
chair,
would
like
to
have
our
a
business
finished
by
noon
if
possible,
but
we
still
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
thorough
betting
of
all
the
items.
C
C
C
Yes,
chairman
chairwoman,
carlton
members
of
the
committee,
this
is
william
stanley
representing
the
southern
nevada
building
trade
union.
I
was
offered
testimony
this
morning
on
item
d3.
We
are
in
support
of
the
studies
that
are
recommended
here,
specifically
item
number
two
having
to
deal
with
supply
chain.
As
many
of
you
may
know,
we
are
very
fortunate
in
the
construction
industry.
Throughout
the
pandemic
we
have
remained
essential
and
for
the
most
part,
our
members
have
remained
on
the
job.
C
C
E
A
Thank
you
very
much
so
with
that.
I
believe
we
can
go
ahead
and
proceed
committee
members
as
usual,
since
this
meeting
is
being
conducted
virtually
senate
fiscal
analysis.
Mark
mr
compatic
will
be
doing
the
roll
call
votes
for
us
today.
A
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
there
are
three
more
programs
on
item
c.
These
were
expeditious
work
programs
submitted
under
nrs
353
225,
and
the
committee
decided
not
to
hold
a
special
meeting
for
these,
so
these
items
have
been
deemed
approved.
Staff
has
not
identified
any
issues
with
these
three
work
programs.
B
Moving
on
to
I
to
to
list
d
item
one
on
this
list,
no
issues
have
been
identified
with
that
one.
However,
the
remainder
of
the
items
on
the
list
are
being
held
for
testimony
numbers.
Two
three
and
four
are
all
for
the
governor's
office
of
economic
development,
while
they're
not
interrelated.
B
They
are
all
for
the
same
agency
item
five
will
be
held
for
discussion,
department
of
tourism
and
cultural
affairs
and
then
items
six
and
seven
both
for
the
department
of
health
and
human
services,
the
for
the
division
of
public
and
behavioral
health,
and
that's
all
we
have
for
now.
Madam
chair,
thank
you
thank.
A
You
very
much
miss
jones.
I
was
made
aware,
I
believe
it
was
last
evening,
but
my
days
and
nights
tend
to
run
together
lately
that
I
believe
senator
brooks
would
like
to
also
have
make
a
comment
or
ask
a
quick
question
on
item
number
d1.
A
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
I
really
just
looking
at
the
funding
for
the
secretary
of
state's
office
and
at
the
upcoming
elections
and
just
the
new
way
we're
doing
things
as
a
result
of
the
pandemic
is
there.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that
the
secretary
of
state's
office
felt
that
they
had
the
capacity
to
deal
with
the
this.
F
This
new
election
process,
and
especially
since
there's
been
some
some
change
of
personnel
over
there
as
a
result
of
some
shifts
and
and
and
how
we're
doing
things
and
is,
and
we
really
wanted
to
understand
who
the
point
of
contact
would
be
within
the
secretary
of
state's
office.
If
there
were
an
issue
at
the
local
level
that
we
needed
to
have
immediate,
you
know
lines
of
communication
open
and
and
and
if
they
feel
they
have
the
capacity
necessary
to
handle
this.
G
Good
morning,
madam
jared,
my
name
is
mark
valashen,
I'm
the
deputy
secretary
of
state
for
operations
for
the
record
senator.
I
appreciate
your
question
and
it's
something.
Certainly
that
has
been
weighing
pretty
heavily
on
our
minds,
starting
with
the
capacity
question,
though,
certainly
between
the
the
staff
here
at
the
state
level,
as
well
as
the
really
the
lion's
share
of
work
that
has
been
done
to
the
counties.
G
The
secretary
is
confident
we
do
have
the
capacity
to
address
not
only
our
routine
statutory
requirements
leading
into
this
election,
but
also
addressing
some
of
the
changes
that
have
resulted
out
of
assembly
bill
4.
so
from
a
pure
capacity
level
that
there
are
no
concerns.
Part
of
the
this
request,
though,
clearly
does
identify
a
need
for
two
additional
temp
services:
the
intent
there
is
really
to
just
address
and
get
a
couple
additional
personnel
to
to
help
answer
some
of
the
questions.
G
The
it's
been
an
exponential
growth
of
questions
that
have
come
from
voters.
Most
of
the
time
just
trying
to
understand.
You
know
the
changes
from
ab4
as
well
as
understanding.
You
know
all
the
different
things
maybe
they're
seeing
in
the
media
and
how
it
applies
to
the
state
or
in
many
cases,
doesn't
apply
to
the
state,
but
from
a
capacity
level
we
are.
G
We
are
good
one
thing
also
that
this
this
work
program
really
doesn't
hint
at
or
even
really
indicate,
but
there's
been
a
lot
of
internal
decisions
and
discussions
about
how
we
can
adjust
our
our
current
personnel
to
match
that
requirement
before
coming
to
ifc.
It
does
not,
for
example,
highlight
the
fact
that
we
have
shifted
six
personnel
to
assist
the
elections.
Division
in
many
of
their
customer
service.
Calls.
In
regards
to
your
question
about
a
set
point
of
contact.
That
is
something
that
secretary
is
weighing
pretty
heavily
right
now.
G
She
has
not
yet
made
a
decision
as
to
who
will
replace
deputy
thoroughly,
but
it
is
something
that
again
our
routine
discussions
with
the
counties.
There
is
plenty
of
redundancy.
It
is
not
just
deputy
thoroughly
alone
and
unafraid
he's
answering
the
county's
questions
or
is
here
to
provide
support
to
them.
There's
a
number
of
us
myself
included,
and
certainly
many
of
the
elections,
division
staff
that
remain
poised
to
support
any
of
the
county
requirements
moving
forward.
G
F
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
that,
and
I
just
want
to
make
a
comment,
that
I
appreciate
everything
that
your
staff
and
that
staff
and
the
secretary
of
state
are
doing,
and
this
trying
time
and
and
the
professionalism
and
and
efficiency
that
you're,
showing
through
this
process.
D
G
Certainly
again
mark
falasham
for
the
record
deputy
secretary
of
state
for
operations.
You
know
this.
This
request
really
is
three
separate
requests
with
three
different
backlogs
and
I
think
it's
worth
identifying
that
of
the
five
positions
that
we've
requested
in
this
work
program.
Two
of
these
are
in
support
of
the
secretary
of
state's
elections.
Division.
Two
positions
are
in
support
of
the
securities
division,
and
one
position
is
in
support
of
the
nevada,
lockbox
and
domestic
partnerships
program.
Each
of
those
three
different
entities
has
its
own
backlog
in
the
case
of
the
elections
division.
G
The
number
of
phone
calls
for
example,
and
emails
that
we
receive
on
a
daily
basis
has
skyrocketed
from
about
50
to
approximately
a
thousand
to
1500
a
day,
given
a
lot
of
the
confusion
surrounding
the
election,
so
that
that
backlog
by
itself
is
one
that
warrants
individual
and
separate
attention
from
the
other
two
requests:
the
secretary
of
state's
securities
division
again,
another
backlog.
This
one
again
related,
though,
to
the
compliance,
audit,
investigators
and
the
number
of
cases
as
part
of
the
requested
budgetary
reductions.
G
Earlier
in
the
year,
there
were
a
number
of
positions
that
were
frozen
unfilled.
G
Three
of
those
in
particular,
were
associated
with
the
securities
division
as
a
result,
there's
a
number
of
cases
that
just
don't
have
the
personnel
to
to
address
them,
so
that's
again
a
separate
backlog
and
then,
lastly,
the
the
lockbox
and
domestic
partnerships
program,
approximately
43
000
registrants
are
supported
through
that
program,
the
the
one
individual,
some
that
was
responsible
for
them
left
the
agency
in
january
and
as
a
result,
that
became
a
collateral
duty
for
a
number
of
other
personnel
in
the
agency
again
requesting
an
individual
to
to
address
those.
G
The
requirements
of
that
program
and
making
sure
that
requests
are
facilitated
in
a
much
more
timely
manner
are
all
part
of
this
work
program.
Does
that
answer
your
question.
D
It
does,
and
I'm
especially
interested
because
the
description
of
this
work
program
speaks
specifically
to
ab4,
I'm
interested
in
where
you
are
directing
voters
to
when
they
call
with
questions.
And
if
you
could
give
us
guidance
on
the
kinds
of
questions
and
whether
you're
seeing
trends
and
what's
leading
to
all
of
these
calls.
Because
it's
my
belief
that
we
as
leaders
in
our
community
can
be
helpful
in
addressing
some
of
the
issues
that
you're
seeing.
G
Yes,
ma'am.
I
tremendously
appreciate
that
question
to
start,
we
whenever
folks
call
asking
about
the
election
some
of
the
trends
again,
not
necessarily
about
ab4.
There
are
some
about
eight
before
what
the
implications
are.
Some
questions
are
about.
Are
there
long-term
permanent
changes
to
the
law?
So
we
explain
that
when
it
comes
to
resources,
we
certainly
direct
them
to
the
secretary's
website
to
make
sure
that
again
they
go
to
our
source
as
a
trusted
source,
where
we
have
everything
from
the
myth
and
facts.
Pdf
file,
it's
about
six
pages.
G
Now
addressing
many
of
the
concerns
and
confusing
language
they
might
see
in
the
national
news
media
so
that
they
understand
what
is
again
pure
truth
coming
out
of
the
secretary
of
state's
office
in
regards
to
trends
again,
really,
there's
just
a
lot
of
confusion,
a
lot
of
explaining,
there's
so
much
information
being
presented
across
the
board
from
a
variety
of
sources,
whether
it's
social
media
or
other,
that
that
really
it's
it's
just
explaining
the
law
explaining
ab4
and
in
many
cases,
just
explaining
you
know
how
things
are
the
same
in
many
cases
that
they
had
been
in
the
past.
G
Folks
call
asking
well
I
want
to
be
able
to
vote
in
person
is.
Is
that
not
there's
so
much
that
was
going
on?
Is
that
not
possible
and
we
explain
absolutely
and
we
direct
them
to
their
county
clerks
or
the
county
registrar,
to
make
sure
that
they
understand
those
locations?
So
again,
nothing,
nothing,
nothing!
Nothing!
Necessarily!
You
know
outlandish,
or
certainly
you
know
unique.
G
It
really
ends
up
just
being
more
clarification
and
reassurance
that
voters
will
have
the
ability
to
to
safely
and
and
securely
cast
their
ballot
this
november,
or
really
even
starting
here
in
a
few
days
when
those
ballots
go
out
to
the
different
counties.
D
Or
like
those
that
have
already
gone
out
in
two
of
our
in
two
of
our
counties,
and
if
I
may
have
just
one
final
question,
madam
chair
yeah,
thank
you.
I'm
especially
interested
in
making
sure
not
only
that
these
two
temporary
workers
will
help
relieve
the
inundation
of
questions
that
your
office
is
getting,
but
that
they
will
also
be
properly
trained
to
answer
those
questions.
D
Are
you
confident
that
adding
these
two
folks
will
make
a
significant
difference
and
if
they
do
not,
and
if
arguably
we
can
it's
predictable,
that
calls
will
increase,
as
people
do
start
to
get
their
ballots
and
you
all
as
a
central
repository
of
all
things,
elections
will
likely
grow
your
call
load.
D
G
Our
colosseum
for
the
record
again
again,
another
tremendous
question.
Thank
you
for
that.
These
two
personnel,
again,
as
I
indicated
just
a
few
minutes
ago,
are
really
a
continuation
of
our
our
efforts
to
reinforce
the
elections
division.
It
started
off,
we
looked
internally
and
we
found
two
individuals
that
were
able
to
balance
their
workloads
and
enable
them
to
come
over
to
the
elections.
Division
didn't
quite
meet
the
mark,
even
with
training.
There
was
still
again
an
increase
in
calls
and
it
wasn't
meeting
the
requirement.
G
So
we
added
two
additional
personnel
now
we're
up
to
six.
By
doing
that,
internally,
it
actually
enabled
the
elections
division
to
practice,
training
individuals
we
now
have
for
black
or
better
term
cheat
sheets
on.
You
know
kind
of
top
20
questions
that
will
come
into
the
agency
outside
of
those
20
questions.
The
individuals
understand
who,
in
the
division,
they're
able
to
reach
out
to
to
get
those
specific
questions
answered
that
that
might
be
again
on
the
the
fringes
of
of
technical.
G
You
know
understanding
of
some
of
the
nrs's
or
again,
something
that
relates
to
assembly
build
four
in
regards
to.
If
these
two
don't
match
the.
B
G
Requirement,
you
know
the
the
analysis
that
went
into
this
and
part
of
the
reason
why
we
requested
these
two
is
out
of
a
belief
that
it
will
match
our
requirement
and
enable
us
to
not
only
answer
the
questions,
but
also
again,
we
have
our
social
media
again
through
twitter
and
facebook.
G
So
we're
continuing
our
outreach
there
as
well
to
make
sure
that
that,
whether
it's
through
phones
for
some
again
voters
that
prefer
to
make
phone
calls
we
have
access
to
email
or
for
some
of
the
younger
voters
that
prefer
social
media.
G
We've
got
basically
all
stops
and
a
full
100
effort
to
make
sure
that
we're
conducting
as
much
outreach
as
absolutely
possible
to
get
those
questions
answered
in
more
of
a
proactive
manner
than
necessarily
sitting
back
and
waiting
for
somebody
to
contact
us.
So
again.
If
this
doesn't
end
up
meeting
the
requirement,
we'll
certainly
conduct
an
analysis
and
look
closely
to
see
what
what
other
steps
we
may
need
to
take,
and
certainly
we
will
be
in
touch
with
this
body
if
there's
anything
that
the
secretary
determines
might
be
further
warranted.
D
Thank
you,
and
I
would
ask
that
you
provide
this
committee
and
at
least
I
am
very
interested
in
having
a
copy
of
that
cheat
sheet
so
that
we
are
all
giving
out
correct
and
accurate
information.
So
if
you
could
provide
that
to
this
committee,
it'd
be
very
helpful.

Thank
you
very
much,
mr
compotic
appreciate
that
and
committee
members

I'll
apologize.
If
you
hear
any
background
noise
on
my
end,
I
have
a
large
delivery
of
food
coming
in
today
here
at
my
office
and
a
lot
of
volunteers.
So
if
there's
a
lot
of
noise
in
the
background,
I
I
apologize
I'll
try
to
keep
myself
muted
as
much
as
possible.
So
with
that
I
will
go
to
item
number
d2.
A
K
K
Madam
chair,
this
is
michael
brown
at
goad.
Is
you
should
proceed.
A
Good
morning,
I
think
we'll
just
go
to
questions
since
it's
written
up
for
us,
rather
than
go
to
deeply
into
anything
so
with
that
ms
benitez
thompson,
if
you
would
like
to
go
ahead
and
ask
your
questions
and
then
I'll
open
it
up
to
other
committee
members.
L
Yes,
thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
and
good
after
or
good
morning,
mr
brown,
I
was
wondering
if
we
could
start
off
with
talking
a
little
bit
about
how
the
economic,
the
rental
assistance
program
for
our
business
community
is
going.
I
know
with
this
recommendation
we're
looking
to
use
the
same
vendor
as
the
vendor.
L
Who's
been
processing
those
applications,
and
so
I
I
indicate
it
seems
like
we
might
have
kind
of
a
bellwether
indication
of
how
things
are
are
going
so
far
and
what
demand
looks
like
and
I
think
it
kind
of
speaks
to
what
demand
might
look
like
for
this
item.
So
could
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
that's
going
first
off.
K
Certainly,
thank
you,
michael
brown,
for
the
record
director
go
ahead.
Thank
you,
leader
and,
and
chair
carlton
for
today's
hearing.
This
program
was
developed
jointly
with
go
ad
the
office
of
the
treasurer
and
the
department
of
business
and
industry.
We
were
charged
with
it
last
june
and
it
was
based
on
a
model
that
moved
around
the
nation
that
was
developed
initially
in
utah
and
shared
with
a
network
of
economic
development
directors
around
the
country
and
the
concept
behind
it
was.
It
was
almost
twofer.
K
You
were
going
to
benefit
the
business
that
needed
to
pay
its
landlord
and
you
were
going
to
stabilize
a
small
business
landlord
in
turn,
and
so
we
have
rolled
that
out
and
it
closed.
On
monday
we
have
over
800
applications
and
the
treasure
estimates
that
that's
a
commitment
of
about
eight
million
eight
and
a
half
million
dollars.
K
I
believe
that
would
be
expended
through
this
utah
had
allocated,
I
believe,
40
million
dollars
for
their
program,
and
they
were
coming
in
at
about
half
at
20
million,
which
is
how
we
came
forward
with
the
recommendation
of
20
million
and
we've
committed
about
half
of
that.
K
It
is
a
complicated
program
and
so,
as
we
have
moved
the
program,
the
treasurer
and
and
the
team
of
people
in
my
office
in
his
office
have
been
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
simplify
this
next
program
and
in
that
program
it
will
be
direct
assistance
to
the
individual
business.
It
won't
be.
K
There
won't
be
a
third
party
landlord,
where
we
need
to
certify
that
the
funds
are
actually
expended
by
the
landlord
as
they
committed
to
their
tenant
and
and
and
it
will-
and
we
also
included
the
department
of
tourism
as
we
built
this
program
out
of
the
proposed
program
out
for
your
consideration
today,
and-
and
so
that's
where,
how
we're
driving
forward
on
this
program,
eligibility
will
be
brought
in,
as
the
legislature
wished,
and
you
know
we
went
back
and
changed
the
some
of
the
standards
for
the
commercial
program,
because
some
members
of
the
legislature
felt
that
perhaps
it
was
to
some
of
the
categories
with
too
narrow.
K
So
we
made
those
broad
and
then
finally,
we
have
worked
with
business
and
industry
to
develop
an
outreach
plan.
I
will
personally
be
leading
the
rural
part
of
that
plan,
and
we
have
we're
also
going
to
partner
with
chamber,
propose
to
partner
with
chambers
of
commerce,
because
what
we
found
with
small
business
that
is
in
the
first
program
leader,
is
that
you
know
if
you're
running
a
small
business,
you're
spending
your
time
running
your
small
business,
and
so
my
staff
and
the
treasury
staff.
K
M
K
In
implementing
that
I
can
turn
to
the
treasurer,
because
you
know
my
office
is
more
of
a
policy
office.
His
office
has
got
a
lot
of
programmatic
experience
and
his
staff
has
been
dealing
with
a
lot
of
the
day-to-day
implementation
of
the
existing
craig
program.
So
if
you
give
me
the
deference
I'll
pass
to
the
treasurer
to
say
a
few
words.
L
I
think
I'll
ask
real
quick.
I
want
to
make
sure
I
got
a
number
that
you
stated
right
so
so
far
in
the
commercial
rental
assistance
program,
800
applications,
so
you
see
that
paying
out
about
8.5
million
right,
so
we're
going
to
have
a
balance
left
of
unspent
funds
for
the
commercial
assistance.
Is
that
right.
K
L
Okay
and-
and
I
can
couch
it
into
a
bigger
context
for
the
the
treasure
as
well
just
kind
of
to
get.
I
think
it's
it's
more
of
a
perspective
than
necessarily
a
direct
question,
but
the
idea
being
they're.
Looking
at
the
we
want
to
support
business,
we
want
to
support
small
business.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
putting
resources
out
there
to
be
used,
but
also
looking
at
the
demands
and
what
programs
seem
to
where
there
seems
to
be
the
most
demands.
L
What
that
demand
was
looking
like
versus
the
residential
assistance
program,
with
the
thought
being
that,
before
we
put
more
money
in
either
either
bucket,
does
it
make
sense
to
to
see
if
we
haven't
you
know
under
demand
in
one
place,
but
over
demand
like
in
the
residential,
then
why
we
wouldn't
consider
first
additional
residential
assistance
versus
more
commerce
assistance?
So
that's
that's
kind
of
the
bigger
question
that
that
I'm
I'm
getting
at.
N
Share
with
your
deference
I'd
love
to
throw
in
some
additional
data
here,
that's
all
right!
It's
treasurer!
Conan!
Good
morning,
everybody
thanks
for
taking
the
time.
N
The
the
crag
program,
the
commercial
rental
assistance
grant
program,
was
additionally
funded
with
20
million
dollars
that
included
administrative
costs,
which
we've
been
able
to
negotiate
down
to
about
six
percent
of
the
process,
and
that
includes
both
the
application
review
outside
of
the
review,
that's
being
done
by
state
employees,
no
additional
costs
there
and
the
process
of
actually
sending
checks
out
to
vendors,
which
we
determined
was
going
to
be
bureaucratically
a
problem
on
the
state
side
to
get
done
as
quickly
as
it
needed
to
be
happy
to
go
into
that.
N
But
that's
where
it
is.
The
program
originally
received
1465
pre-applications
that
that's
that
first,
two
page
application
process.
As
a
reminder,
the
application
was
a
two-fold
one
where
some
initial
information
for
eligibility
was
sent
in
first
and
then
the
vendor
would
reach
out
to
get
more
information
of
those
14.
65
130
were
denied
and
130
excuse
me.
1
335
were
approved.
The
denials
were
primarily
three
reasons:
one
lacking
the
necessary
business
licenses.
N
They
had
a
license,
perhaps
in
the
county,
but
not
in
the
state,
or
they
didn't
have
a
license
in
the
state
or
the
county,
not
being
in
business.
Long
enough,
there
was
a
six
month
window.
The
businesses
needed
to
be
open
prior
to
march
and
not
meeting
the
minimum
loss
in
revenue
threshold,
which
was
30.
N
Most
of
them
fell
into
the
first
two
categories.
After
applicants
submitted
their
pre-applications,
they
were
able
to
move
on
to
the
full
application
of
the
1335
831,
fully
submitted
application
materials.
Now
those
application
materials
included
things
like
backup
on
revenue,
so
that
we
have
the
data
to
see
whether
or
not
they
were
eligible.
They
also
included
involvement
from
the
landlord
because
the
payments
were
intended
to
be
made
directly
to
the
landlords,
the
landlord
needed
to
stipulate
they
weren't
going
to
evict
for
a
100
or
90
days
from
the
end
of
the
process.
N
Anecdotally.
The
denials
from
this
second
review
are
things
like
employing
more
than
50
people,
so
larger
businesses
than
we
were
intending
to
support
and
not
being
able
to
substantiate
the
loss
in
revenue.
So
we
have
some
businesses
who
said
yes,
I
lost
more
than
30,
but
their
financials.
Don't
don't
show
that
and
so
obviously
they'd
be
kicked
out
of
the
program
from
a
broader
sense.
N
The
thing
that
we've
learned
here-
and
I
think
the
thing
that
we're
seeing
in
economic
assistance
programs
around
the
country
is
that
it
makes
sense
to
prioritize
whom
gets
funds
first,
but
not
to
have
eligibility
criteria
that
prevent
people
from
applying
and
the
easier
it
is.
The
more
businesses
will
do
it.
I
know
director
brown
worked
with
more
than
a
dozen
businesses
walking
through
them
the
process.
Our
staff
has
dealt
with
thousands
of
emails
on
the
topic.
N
I've
coached
businesses
through
we've
called
landlords,
and
we
went
out
and
tried
to
give
this
money
away
and
it
was
more
difficult
than
we
thought
it
was
and
the
I
think,
that's
because
of
the
process,
and
so
this
next
program
the
pets
program.
Please.
N
Yeah,
absolutely
and
if
I
could
right
before
that,
to
talk
scope
of
full
economic
development
proposals
that
have
been
in
front
of
you,
because
I
think
that
that
speaks
to
to
where
we
are
originally
the
economic
development
proposals
that
you
were
looking
at
were
about
70
million
dollars.
There
was
the
20
million
dollars
originally
in
the
crag
and
then
in
the
ifc
subcommittee
on
a
previous
friday
times
flat
circle.
I
apologize.
N
70
million
dollars
of
original
economic
development
hold
was
intended
and
we're
only
bringing
forward
about
32.5
million
worth
of
projects,
which
leaves
37
million
dollars
to
support
other
priorities
of
the
governor
and
the
legislature,
and
certainly
we
be
an
advocate
for
some
of
that
money
or
all
of
that
money
going
to
affordable
housing.
There
are
a
lot
of
other
things
in
that
bucket
response
and
recovery
and
other
programs,
but
from
an
economic
development
standpoint.
N
Given
the
money
that's
gone
out
on
on
craig,
assuming
that,
with
the
pets
program,
the
new
20
million
dollars
were
able
to
get
all
the
money
out
the
door
because
of
how
easy
we're
trying
to
make
it
that
and
assuming
that
the
two
other
minor
programs,
d3
and
d4
are
approved
today.
That
would
still
leave
37
and
a
half
million
dollars
currently
unallocated.
That
was
originally
going
to
go
to
economic
development
pieces.
N
Now
that
37
and
a
half
is
a
because
craig
didn't
get
fully
subscribed
by
the
commercial
rental
program,
but
also
because
there
were
programs
that
didn't
make
it
off
the
original
plan
because
they
weren't
going
to
be
able
to
be
implemented
in
time,
because
we
didn't
have
enough
time
to
do
the
vetting
before
we
brought
them
to
you,
because
we
frankly
think
that
rental
assistance
and
other
programs
need
the
money
more
than
more
speculative
projects.
N
So
what
we're
bringing
to
you
today
from
an
economic
development
standpoint,
is,
in
our
office's
opinion
and
goed's
opinion
the
cream
of
the
crop,
the
things
we
absolutely
need
to
get
done
from
a
response
and
a
recovery
perspective
and
resiliency.
Excuse
me
hope
that
answers
and
scopes
the
the
problem
a
little
bit,
because
in
talking
to
a
lot
of
you
I
I
agree.
There
are
a
lot
of
other
needs
of
this
money
and
there
are-
and
it's
finite
right.
L
8.5
of
a
million
of
the
crack
program
being
appropriated,
but
about
12,
11.5
or
12.
That
from
that
program,
is
that
11.5
being
being
shifted
over
in
part
of
this
20
million.
N
So
I'll
answer
that
question
from
a
from
a
money
standpoint,
which
is
capital,
is
fungible
from
a
work
program
perspective.
I'm
not
sure
exactly
how
that
works
and
wouldn't
want
to
speak
to
it
but
functionally
it's
all.
In
the
same
cares
bucket
director.
L
Right,
so
that's
why
I'm
begging.
The
question
like
did
from
the
craig
program
are:
are
you
in
in
your
accounting
process?
Is
the
unused
balance
from
craig?
Should
I
assume
that
this
20
million
is
11.5
that
didn't
get
spent?
That
was
intended
for
economic
development
to
to
help
on
the
commerce
side
for
small
business,
and
since
it
didn't
get
used
there,
we're
going
to
put
it
over
here
to
to
help
with
this.
It's
part
of
the
vision
of
this
20
million.
K
Michael
brown
director
go
at
the
unspent
funds
from
the
craig
program.
I
don't
have
authority
to
make
that
which
that
would
rest-
I
I
presume
with
the
governor's
finance
office
or
the
legislature,
and
what
I
said
at
the
start
of
this
is
that
we
would
put
a
soft
date
of
october
15th
on
craig
and
whatever
wasn't
committed
or
expended
at
that
point,
would
would
have
to
be
made
available
for
other
state
priorities
and
on
the
pets
program
stop
date
of
october
30th.
L
Thank
you,
chairwoman.
I
have
some
additional
questions
that
are
kind
of
more
logistical
related,
but
I
but
my
kind
of
overall
perspective
ones.
I
think
I've
got
answered
so
I'll.
I
will.
I
appreciate
the
members
indulgence
all.
A
You
thank
you
and
if
we
need
to
come
back
on
the
logistics
we
will,
if
they
don't
get
addressed,
I
okay,
I
believe
I
have
senator
parks,
wanted
to
ask
a
question
on
this.
One.
K
Chair,
I
don't
really
have
a
question,
but
I
do
have,
I
guess
a
little
words
of
encouragement
and
that
is
to
director
brown.
I
would
like
to
make
a
pitch
for:
go
it
not
to
overlook
or
minimize
the
granting
of
awards
to
those
non-profit
organizations
that
provide
behavioral
health
care
delivery
services.
K
Forward
with
whether
it's
900
or
a
thousand
grants
that
you
will.
K
Those
that
provide
non-profit
services
in
the
behavioral
health
care.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you,
director
brown.
K
Yes,
brown
director
go
ahead,
so
noted
we
will
do
that.
You
know
this
is
less
economic
development.
This
is
really
economic
relief.
That's
been
administered
through
go
out.
Go
ahead
is
functioning
more
as
an
orchestra,
conde
of
this
across
multiple
agencies
and
partners
in
state
government.
At
the
request,
the
governor's
office,
I've
made
note
of
that
and
we'll
make
we'll
make
some
outreach
into
those
areas.
N
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
suggestion,
senator
parks
and
just
for
the
record,
both
in
the
crag
program
and
in
the
proposed
pets
program.
Behavior
health
entities
would
be
able
to
apply
for
that
grant
funding.
We'd
love
to
include
them
in
outreach
efforts
additionally,
and
not
on
this
item,
but
on
on
d3.
A
I
do
have
a
question
and
we've
talked
a
lot
about
rent,
but
I'm
not
sure
I
specifically
see
that
these
dollars
are
just
for
rental
assistance.
Is
this
assistance
for
especially
when
we
get
into
the
nonprofit
world
there's
a
lot
of
different
issues
that
go
on?
So
is
this
specifically
for
helping
them
to
pay
the
rent,
or
is
this
just?
Basically,
funds
that
were
lost
due
to
covid
can
be
applied
for
to
be
able
to
help
fill
the
gap
that
was
created.
N
Treasurer
conan
for
the
record,
the
latter
ma'am,
so
the
goal
for
these
funds
is
for
them
to
be
fully
flexible.
So
if
a
business
needs
help
paying
rent,
they
can
use
it
if
they
need
help
to
retain
employees,
they
can
use
it
if
they
need
help
to
retrofit
their
store
or
buy
ppe.
They
could
use
them
for
that
if
they
need
them
to
buy
additional
supplies,
because
the
need
on
their
business,
especially
from
a
non-profit
standpoint,
has
exceeded
their
their
supplies.
Currently,
they
can
use
them
for
that.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that's
clear
so
that
a
lot
of
folks
have
already
dealt
with
the
rental
issue,
but
there
may
be
other
gaps
that
they
need
to
fill
between
now
and
the
beginning
of
the
next
fiscal
year.
So,
okay,
thank
you
other
questions.
I
believe
senator
woodhouse
had
a
comment.
A
J
Yes,
madam
chair,
I
wanted
to
make
a
similar
comment
to
senator
parks's
comment.
We
all
know
that
our
small
businesses
are
struggling
are
heavily
impacted
by
what
has
happened
with
the
pandemic,
but
I
also
want
to
make
a
plea
to
director
brown
and
to
the
treasurer
that
you
do
all
you
can
through
this
funding,
to
assist
our
arts
and
and
culture
nonprofits,
and
they
are
struggling
exceedingly
and
when
that
happens,
just
like
everything
else,
it
directly
impacts
the
citizens
of
our
state.
So
anything
you
can
do
is
you're.
K
C
K
K
K
This
is
a
state
that
has
a
robust
arts
and
culture
that
has
has
definitely
suffered
from
this,
and
it
is
a
priority
that
would
be
within
this
program.
I
kind
of
envisioned
this
as
part
a
was
for
the
commercial
landlord
assistance.
The
craig
program,
part
b,
is
this
more
direct
assistance
to
businesses
and
non-profits.
I
Thanks,
madam
chair,
sorry,
that's.
I
So,
okay,
I
just
had
two
quick
questions.
The
first
one
is
on
the
priority
list
of
applications
of
applicants.
I
So
I
so
I
have
you
guys,
have
a
number
five
businesses
closed
due
to
executive
order,
but
then
in
the
qualifications
you
guys
have
be
in
good
standing
with
no
liens
or
judgments,
and
so
I
wonder
you
know
what
what
kind
of
data
do
you
have
around
those
businesses
that
had
to
close
for
six
months
and
whether
or
not
they
are
being
impaired
by
a
potential
lien
or
judgment
that
they
may
have
received
on
their
property?
I
N
Okay,
I'm
seeing
it
not
treasure
conan
for
the
record,
the
the
lean
just
make
sure
I
get
the
language
correctly.
The
lean
language
is
specifically
around
state
liens,
so
someone
who
perhaps
didn't
pay
their
property
tax
or
didn't
pay
there
something
else.
The
crf
grants,
chronovirus
relief
fund
dollars
very
specifically
can't
be
used
for
revenue
replacement,
which
means
that
we
can't
pay
someone's
property
tax
because
we'd
run
a
foul
of
the
treasury
guys.
N
So
when
someone
has
been
behind
on-
and
we
had
a
couple
of
these
for
the
commercial
rental
assistance
grant
program
when
someone's
been
back
on,
say,
property
tax
or
back
on
a
business
license,
we've
worked
with
them
to
get
that
current.
So
then
we
could
release
the
funds
to
them.
We
haven't
we're
working
with
businesses
to
try
and
get
them
through
the
process.
This
doesn't
involve
liens
that
could
be
on
the
business
for
some
other
reason,
like
a
landlord
put
a
lien
on
on
property,
because
rent
hasn't
paid,
or
something
like
that.
N
K
Yes,
michael
yes
or
something
on
neil,
the
the
partnerships
with
the
chambers
are
really
to
help
us
reach
out
to
particularly
to
micro
businesses
and
to
small
businesses
to
get
the
chambers
help
in
in
helping
those
firms
which
are
often
only
one
two.
K
Three
people
actually
complete
the
application
and
get
it
to
us
so
that
we
can
get
them
the
assistance
that
they
deserve,
and
so
we'll
be
we'll
be
canvassing
the
chambers
and
whether
it
be
the
latin
chamber
or
the
elko
chamber
and
saying
you
know,
would
you
become
our
partner
because
we
simply,
we
simply
don't
have
the
staff
available,
even
in
our
two
offices,
to
to
coach
hundreds
of
businesses.
Through
this,
this
kind
of
application,
arts
and
culture.
K
We
received
input
from
the
division,
the
department
of
arts
and
culture
as
to
how
to
structure
those
awards.
You
know,
obviously
several
of
them
have
had
substantial
revenue,
declines
and,
and
so
they've
got
a
little
separate
criteria
because
they're
not
the
same
as
let's
say
a
coffee
shop
or
a
restaurant,
and
so
we've
got
the
expertise
from
the
department
of
tourism
and
cultural
affairs.
That'll
help
us
in
that
area.
A
Okay,
with
that,
I
have
a
couple
people
in
the
queue.
If
I
can
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
forward,
I
have
miss
swank
listed
next
and
then,
after
that,
I'll
go
to
assemblywoman
tolls.
Was
there
someone
else
wishing
to
be
recognized
at
this
time.
A
Okay,
senator
gorkachia
I'll
put
you
on
the
list
so
we'll
go
to
assemblywoman
swank
next.
O
P
P
K
N
For
the
record,
we've
structured
that
or
proposed
to
structure
that,
based
on
the
widest
amount
allowable
under
the
chronovirus
relief
guidance.
So
from
the
beginning
of
march
to
now.
N
It
would
be
that's
correct
until.
Q
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thanks
for
for
all
these
proposals.
Today,
as
I
look
through
the
documents
under
the
section
on
priority
of
funding-
and
you
know
disadvantaged
business
enterprises,
arts,
culture
chambers,
other
businesses,
other
non-profits,
I
wonder
if
specifically,
there
was
discussion
about
adding
businesses
at
the
top
of
the
priority
list
that
were
either
fully
closed
or
limited
to
50
capacity.
So
as
I've
surveyed
other
states
that
you
have
used,
this
cares
act
funding
for
business
relief
programs.
N
Director
brown
I'm
happy
to
take
this
one.
I
know
you
could
too
treasurer
conan
for
the
record
completely
agreeing
one
of
the
governor's
priorities
in
helping
to
design
this
program
was
to
make
sure
that
businesses
that
were
closed,
like
bars,
for
instance,
due
to
the
the
pandemic
and
executive
order,
would
be
prioritized
at
the
top
of
the
list.
N
We
looked
at
doing
a
separate
program
for
bars
and
restaurants,
but
I
think
the
the
thing
that
we've
all
learned
through
this
pandemic
is
that
it
all
takes
longer
than
it's
expected
to
both
to
put
together
to
get
out
on
the
street
to
get
people
to
apply
for
and
then
to
get
the
funds
out
the
door.
And
so
we
wanted
to
use
that
as
a
prioritization
within
pets,
but
not
have
a
standalone
program
again
just
to
try
and
get
those
funds
out
as
effectively
as
possible.
N
For
the
record,
we
expect
that
every
one
of
those
priority
groups
would
be
at
the
top
of
the
list
versus,
say
a
business
that
doesn't
fall
within
that
list.
Think
about
that
list
is
as
as
binary
you're
on
it
or
you're.
Not,
but
certainly
the
intention
is
to
focus
on
businesses
like
that.
Q
Okay,
thank
you
and
then
the
other
thing
that
I
noticed
is,
as
I
looked
at
other
states
and
how
they'd
set
up
similar
programs,
a
lot
of
states
required
some
sort
of
reporting
back.
So
you
know
typically
within
a
six-month
period
of
time.
If
they
received
these
funds,
they
had
to
report
back
how
they
used
it
so
that
we
could
keep
track
of
that
and
and
see.
You
know
what
percentage
was
used
on.
Q
You
know,
for
example,
payroll
utilities
inventory
what
have
you
out
of
the
list
and
and
if
that
was
used
as
attended
as
just
an
accountability
measure.
N
Treasurer
conan
to
the
record.
Currently
the
plan
is
to
have
businesses,
fill
out
a
report
on
their
plans
for
the
money
and
then
to
spot
audit
from
there,
but
we
can
certainly
have
a
requirement
to
give
a
narrative
of
how
they
spent
that
money
kind
of
a
one
page
trying
to
keep
the
administrative
costs
down,
especially
post
december
30th,
when
it
won't
be
federal
dollars
paying
for
but
happy
to
do
that.
I
think
it's
a
great
idea
and
we'll
give
us
some
good
data.
Q
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I've
got
a
couple
of
questions
just
first
and
foremost
though,
and
one
of
them
was
answered
in
your
response
to
ms
swank.
We
can
go
clear
back
to
march
1st
now
the
total
amount
of
this
this
grant
would
be
ten
thousand
dollars
say
to
a
small
business.
Will
they
be
able
to
make
this
application
online.
C
And
you
prep,
you
pregnantly
got
a
website
up
or
somewhere
they
can't
apply.
I'm
concerned,
I
represent
a
lot
of
the
rurals.
Some
of
them
have
chambers
some
of
them,
depending
on
you
know
how
effective
their
particular
chamber
is.
A
lot
of
them
might
not
belong.
Ten
thousand
dollars,
which
I
assume
I
understand
it's
a
grand
award.
When
we
look
at
what
has
occurred
since
march.
C
First,
just
logistics,
product
shortages,
it,
I
don't
think
it's
going
to
be
very
difficult
for
a
lot
of
businesses
to
show
a
ten
thousand
dollar
loss.
K
Michael
brown,
director
of
gohan,
thank
you
senator
yes,
I
agree.
We
learned
a
lot
in
the
craig
program
and
you
know
you.
We
really
have
to
go
out
and
and
make
the
marketing
pitch
to
small
businesses,
and
we've
worked
up
a
plan
with
business
and
industry
to
do
that,
and
there
will
be
a
special
focus
on
our
more
remote
rural,
small
businesses.
K
Michael
brown,
for
the
record
senator
it
will
be
on
the
go
ad
website
and,
I
believe,
is
an
upload
treasurer's
website
and
I
think
what
we
will
also
do
is.
We
will
send
all
the
legislators
something
simple,
that
they
can
also
share
with
with
their
constituents
and
have
availability
if
they
get.
If
you
will
get
direct
inquiries.
C
Well,
thank
you
and
again
where
they
can
go
clear
back
and
it
a
lot
of
things
qualify.
I
think
you're
gonna
get
a
lot
of
applications,
although
it
isn't
a
lot
of
money,
ten
thousand
dollars
that
might
be
the
difference
in
make
or
break
in
some
of
these
small
mom-and-pop
businesses.
Thank
you.
A
And
thank
you
senator,
and
I
see
in
my
notes
that
the
processing
and
the
timeline,
I
believe,
there's
an
outreach
program
that
intends
to
have
applications,
go
live
within
the
next
three
weeks
of
this
being
approved.
Is
that
correct?
Mr
conan?.
A
A
Thank
you,
and
just
on
the
other
side,
as
we
have
talked
about
non-profits
and
essential
services.
I
know
there
were
businesses
that
were
asked
to
close,
but
there
were
also
those
of
us
that
were
asked
to
stay
open
and
did
stay
open,
but
resources
still
disappeared
because
of
just
the
the
nature
of
how
the
pandemic
hit.
B
A
There
were
entities
that
were
asked
to
stay
open
and
still
losing
contributions
at
the
same
time
because
of
the
way
that
they
were
funded
and
just
to
put
it
on
the
record
as
being
involved
in
these
types
of
things.
I
have
participated
in
this
discussion
and
will
be
voting
on
this
item,
but
as
executive
director
of
the
non-profit
that
I'm
at
we
have
no
intention
of
applying
for
these
funds,
so
I
feel
comfortable
in
being
able
to
participate
in
this
particular
discussion.
Are
there
other
questions
or
comments
from
other
committee
members.
J
L
A
L
I
I
had
one
last
one
and
it's
it's
more
just
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
the
statement
on
the
record
for
the
remaining
30
million,
that's
outside
of
the
20
million
that
the
office
intends
to
spend,
and
I
think
it's
comprised
of
the
8.9
million
for
and
she
4.5
in
resiliency
projects
with
goed
and
dieter
10
million
to
be
hell
in
reserves
and
then
6.5
is
unplanned.
But
I
think
we
needed
to
I'm
hear
from
mr
brown
a
little
bit
more
about
the
the
plan
for
those
dollars.
K
Excuse
me:
yes,
michael
brown,
director
of
business
and
industry,
and
now
I'm
director
of
co-ed.
Now
the
governor's
office
asked
in
july
or
a
plan
on
economic
relief
resiliency,
and
that
I
was
to
pull
all
the
departments
in
the
state
to
see
you
know
what
contribution
they
might
want
to
make
in
this.
So
we
reached
out
to
tourism.
K
We
reached
out
to
dieter,
we
reached
out
to
osa,
we
reached
out
to
inchi
and
we
reached
out
to
treasurer
and
business
and
industry
again
functioning
as
the
as
the
orchestra
leader,
we're
not
playing
every
one
of
these
instruments
here
at
go
lab.
We,
when
we
when
we
did
that
with
using
the
50
million
number
we
put
10
million
aside
in
case
any
of
these
programs
were
over.
K
So
if,
if
the
upcoming
pets
program
were
to
be
oversubscribed,
we
would
come
back
to
you
with
the
request
to
possibly
draw
on
another
10
million
that
was
penciled
into
the
under
the
spreadsheet
and
then
had
craig
been
over
subscribed
the
same
we
might
have
wanted
to
draw
on
that.
Craig
is
undersubscribed,
and
so
there
will
be
available
funds
going
back
to
the
government.
K
Finance
office
for
consideration
for
other
uses
and
she
had
projects
that
they
took
forward
that
they
brought
forward
as
suggested
and
those
are
working
their
way
through
the
government
of
governor's
finance
office
to
inchi.
At
this
point,
and
then
we
had
the
proposal
that
the
treasurer
will
be
discussing
at
length
here,
which
is
on
the
agenda
today.
K
That
was
originally
slated,
I
think
at
two
and
a
half
million,
but
I
think
he's
now
brought
it
in
for
about
a
million
less
than
that
and
then
finally,
I
canvassed
my
staff
and
the
deter
staff
on
what
we
could
do
in
the
area
of
resiliency.
You
know:
how
can
we
strengthen
workforce
programs?
K
How
can
we
strengthen
our
labor
market,
our
workers
and-
and
so
those
are
the
other
two
proposals
that
are
on
here
today
and,
like
I
say
I,
I
was
not
any
unspent
funds,
like
I
say,
go
back
to
go
unallocated
funds
go
back
for
the
gfo
and
for
I
assume
this
committee
to
make
decisions
on
what
happens
to
those
going
forward.
A
Seeing
none
mr
brown
and
mr
kona
and
I
appreciate
the
information
and
the
depth
of
the
information,
even
though
we
did
receive
this
item
just
a
little
little
late
than
later
than
we
would
have
wished.
But
we
do
understand
the
importance
of
this
and
it
seems
as
though
it
is
it's
very
thoroughly
explained,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
information
on
it.
So
if
there
are
no
other
questions
from
committee
members
at
this
time,.
A
You're
welcome
good,
thank
thank
you,
madam
majority
leader.
Sometimes
I
can
miss
folks
with
their
hands
raised
on
this.
So
with
that
seeing
no
other
questions
or
concerns
we'd
be
happy
to
go
ahead
and
process
item
number
d2.
I
would
accept
a
motion
from
majority
leader,
ms
benitez
thompson,
and
a
second
from
senator
woodhouse.

D

A
I
believe
this
is
mr
conine
will
be
the
presenter
on
d3.
A
Yes,
very,
very
briefly,
please,
especially
since
we
did
receive
this
quite
late,
and
it
seems
as
though
as
there's
a
lot
of
missing
information
on
this
one,
and
especially
with
the
concerns
the
legislature
has
had
about
studies
recently.
We
really
want
to
make
sure
we're
understanding
what
the
proposal
is.
I
know
we
did
not
receive
this
one
until
monday,
late
monday,
so
staff
barely
had
a
day
to
actually
work
on
this
proposal.
So
if
you
would
give
us
an
overview,
we'll
move
forward
from
there.
N
Absolutely
treasure
conan
for
the
record.
First
off:
apologies
for
the
timing,
as
I'm
sure
everyone
is
working
as
hard
as
they
possibly
can
to
get
these
things
over
the
line
relatively
complicated
one
to
get
sorted,
and
we
also
wanted
to
make
sure
we
brought
you
the
number
that
was
accurate.
N
So
originally
we
thought
it
was
going
to
be
about
2.5
million,
but
our
team
has
been
able
to
negotiate
these
contracts
down
to
a
little
bit
more
than
one
million
dollars,
which
represents
just
to
put
it
in
scope
a
little
bit
more
than
84
basis
points
or
0.08.
Excuse
me,
8.4
basis
points
0.08
of
the
total
chronovirus
relief
spent
to
date,
you've
seen
a
lot
of
proposals
that
fall
into
two
of
the
three
buckets
contemplated
by
the
treasury
when
they
and
the
congress,
when
they
enacted
the
carnivorous
relief
fund.
N
Those
three
buckets
are
response,
so
the
immediate
health
response
masks
ppe,
making
sure
that
we've
got
contact
tracing
in
the
rats.
Now
a
good
chunk
of
the
funds
have
gone
there.
Bucket
number
two
is
recovery
and
the
project
that
you
just
approved.
Thank
you
for
that
speaks
to
recovery.
Bucket
number.
Three
is
resiliency
and,
as
we
looked
at
programs
that
other
states
around
the
country
are
doing
and
programs
that
were
intended
by
the
language,
one
of
the
pieces
that
we
hadn't
brought
forward
and
we're
bringing
forward
with
item
number
d3
is
a
resiliency
plan.
N
Now
I'm
very
familiar
chair
carlton
to
your
and
other
concerns
as
it
relates
to
studies.
I
think
too
often
studies
get
done
in
the
state
they're
put
on
the
shelf
next
to
the
study
that
preceded
it
and
it
goes
from
there
now.
These
studies
are
different
and
the
reason
they're
different
is
for
a
couple
of
reasons.
One.
We
have
a
crack
team
that
is
very
dedicated
to
making
sure
they
get
done.
They've
gotten
done.
I
don't
believe
I've
ever
been
in
front
of
you
asking
for
a
study
before
and
I
don't
expect
to
ever.
N
Do
it
again
unless
I'm
sure
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
do
something
with
it.
Two,
the
chronovirus
relief
fund
guidance
in
and
of
itself
requires
that
these
be
quickly
and
immediately
both
conducted
and
actionable
to
meet
guidance
and
in
our
conversations
with
treasury,
with
the
national
governors
association,
the
national
association
of
state
treasurer's
national
association
of
state
budget
offers
officers
dozens
of
treasures,
dozens
of
conversations
with
treasury.
N
We
feel
these
are
not
just
eligible
but
necessary,
and
here's
why,
as
we
come
out
of
this
pandemic,
we
need
to
develop
a
targeted
and
comprehensive
plan
which
can
be
acted
on
immediately
for
the
state
so
that
we
can
get
folks
back
to
work
and
we
can
begin
diversifying
our
economy.
I
don't
think
this
will
come
as
a
surprise
to
everyone
else,
but
our
road
to
economic
recovery
cannot
be
simply
turning
around
and
walking
back.
N
There
are
six
studies
as
part
of
this
and
they're
gelled
together
by
a
study
that
strengthens
state
systems
and
processes,
and
the
goal
of
that
study
is
to
put
together
a
plan
for
the
state
infrastructure
bank
and
other
ways
that
we
can
attract
funding
from
outside
the
state
that
do
not
require
taxpayer
dollars.
That
will
create
jobs,
and
that's
why
I
was
so
happy
that
william
stanley
was
able
to
testify
earlier
on
because
he
understands
the
importance
of
infrastructure
jobs
as
it
comes
out
of
this.
One
of
the
studies
is
about
broadband
technology.
N
One
of
the
studies
is
about
enhancing
nevada's
supply
chain
and
last
mile
delivery
to
avoid
not
just
the
temporary
toilet
paper
problems,
but
to
make
sure
that
our
products
can
get
in
and
out
from
a
construction
perspective
from
a
food
perspective
and
to
make
sure
that
we
aren't
subject
to
effectively
being
engorged
on
wages
and
other
costs
at
the
end,
to
assess
behavioral
health
capacity.
A
lot
of
members
on
this
committee
and
other
members
of
the
legislature,
we've
talked
about
behavioral
health.
How
can
we
fix
it?
N
N
We
believe
from
economic
resiliency
standpoint
to
come
up
with
ways
to
make
sure
that
those
workers
can
be
retrained
to
find
the
types
of
jobs
that
they
can
go
to
and
to
make
sure
that
we
we've
got
a
plan
for
them
and
then
finally,
a
study
that
will
bring
all
of
those
pieces
together
into
a
comprehensive
plan
that
can
exist
and
be
implemented
next
to
the
governor's
office
of
economic
development
or,
at
this
point,
recovery
plan,
that's
being
conducted
by
sri
to
look
towards
what
the
next
pillars
are
to
deal
with
a
couple
of
questions
that
I've
got
one.
N
I
know
that
there
is
a
frustration
to
some
on
this
committee
about
the
use
of
incentives
as
a
tool
to
attract
businesses
to
the
state.
Incentives
are
one
of
the
few
tools
that
we
have
to
attract
businesses
to
the
state.
This
item
d3
helps
us
create
other
tools
that
can
attract
businesses
to
the
state,
using
money
that
isn't
tax
dollars,
using
money
that
wouldn't
go
to
schools
or
something
else,
there's
also
been
a
concern
about
using
funds
for
a
study
for
future
planning.
N
When
we
have
an
immediate
need-
and
I
think
you're
right-
we
do
have
an
immediate
need-
we
have
an
almost
infinite
immediate
need
if
I
can
take
a
moment
just
a
personal
privilege,
to
get
off
topic
for
a
brief.
Second,
it's
about
bonds,
but
I'll
come
right
back.
I
think
it's
important
for
this
committee
to
know
that
yesterday,
moody's
affirmed
our
high
high
credit
rating
and
they
affirmed
it
specifically
because
of
the
difficult
decisions
that
this
legislature
made
and
this
governor
made
to
cut
the
budget.
N
When
we
knew
revenues
weren't
coming
in
a
lot
of
other
states
kicked
the
can,
they
said
we're
going
to
wait
for
federal
support,
we're
going
to
wait
for
someone
to
come
in
and
save
our
butts,
but
we
didn't.
You
made
the
hard
decisions,
moody's
and
the
market
reflects
that,
which
is
why
we're
going
to
be
able
to
borrow
money
in
this
general
obligation
note
coming
up
the
cheapest
rate
possible.
Why
is
that
important?
Because
they
see
the
work
that's
been
done
and
they
see
the
dedication
to
actually
making
sure
that
the
hard
decisions
are
made.
N
N
Is
one
of
those
hard
decisions?
This
is
a
spend
of
a
little
bit
more
than
a
million
dollars
on
surveys
that
I
individually
promise
each
and
every
one
of
you
will
be
used
because
that's
my
job
and
I'm
not
going
to
come,
ask
for
money
that
could
go
to
housing
or
could
go
to
something
else.
If
I
didn't
think
it
was
going
to
be
necessary
and
useful
down
the
road.
Additionally,
just
from
a
scope
perspective,
we
talked
about
how.
N
Originally
there
were
70
million
dollars
worth
of
capital
projects,
government
economic
development
projects
that
were
on
the
table.
That
number
is
now
down
to
32.5,
which
opens
up
37.5
million
dollars
for
all
sorts
of
other
important
and
necessary
government
functions.
But
this
is
the
only
thing
that
you're
going
to
see
come
forward
from
our
office
or
from
the
governor's
office
of
economic
development
that
deals
with
economic
resiliency.
What
we
do
next-
and
I
think
it's
deeply
deeply
important
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
I
really
appreciate
the
time
and
the
discretion
chair.
A
And
thank
you,
mr
conan,
so
I'm
concerned
about
spending
this
money
on
a
study.
I'm
not
sure
the
guidance
actually
allows
that
it
was
my
impression
that
this
was
good
to
go
to
other
things.
So
do
you
have
anything
that
says
that
these
funds
can
be
used
for
a
study.
N
Yes,
ma'am
so
in
conversation
with
goed
and
again,
our
federal
partners,
the
nga,
the
nast,
which
is
the
national
association
of
state
treasurer's,
lively
group,
the
national
association
of
state
budget
officers,
also
a
lively
group.
We
are
sure
that
it's
not
only
allowable
for
use
under
cares,
but
is
one
of
the
most
effective
uses,
a
couple
of
pieces
of
relevant
coronavirus
relief
fund
guidance.
Of
course,
that
guidance
has
changed.
N
Capabilities
gives
me
for
public
employees
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
covenant.
19
public
health
precautions,
the
coronavirus
relief
fund
guides
issue
from
the
department
of
treasury
states.
A
I'm
going
to
stop
you
there,
because
this
is
your
your.
This
is
the
type
of
thing
that
should
have
been
in
the
document
for
us,
so
you
were
saying
expenses
related
to,
but
you
weren't
saying,
study
so
you're
associating
the
study
with
the
expenses
related
to.
N
Yes,
ma'am,
that
is
correct.
I
apologize.
I
believe
I
thought
that
information
was
tremendous
to
lcb,
I'm
looking
at
my
staff,
but
the.
But
yes,
that
is
the
that
is
the
nexus
and
is
the
nexus
being
used
by
other
states
for
this
type
of
work.
A
And
if,
if
I
didn't
know
that,
I
probably
wouldn't
have
asked
the
question
so
just
curious
as
to
why
so
this
morning
I
was
reading
through
some
news
and
different
things
and
noticed
that
assemblywoman
titus
are
excuse.
Me,
congresswoman
titus
had
a
blurb
out
there
that
the
state
is
receiving
13.8
million
over
three
years
to
the
nevada,
governor's
workforce
innovation.
To
do.
A
N
Treasure
conan
for
the
record,
so
owen
and
the
other
groups
who
are
involved
in
that
process
will
be
and
have
been
involved
in
the
development
of
this.
The
goal
of
this
is
to
create
not
redundant
work
but
work
that
can
sit
next
to
and
on
top
of
additional
work.
That's
going,
for
instance,
the
broadband
piece
as
an
example
is
in
partnership
with
osit
who's,
been
working
on
this
for
a
long
time
and
needs
a
little
bit
more
information
to
get
over
the
hump
on
their
pandemic
recovery
plan.
A
D
I
You
chair
so
now
I
have
just
one
question.
I
I
understood
that
what
was
going,
I
mean,
I
think,
matt,
chair
carlton,
for
number
one
asking
about
the
studies,
but
I
guess
the
thing
that
popped
up
in
my
mind
was:
how
are
we
dealing
with
or
trying
to
prior
prioritize
understanding
what
actually
happened
with
the
business
sectors
and
how
and
which
ones
expired
and
how
they're
struggling
and
their
needs
around
covid
versus
all
of
all
of
this
other
stuff,
like
I
get
the
need
for
broadband
and
all
the
other
things,
but
I
I
feel
like
businesses,
there
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
happen
within
that
six
months
and
ordered
and
businesses
that
are
not
coming
back
and
it
kind
of
this
question
ties
into
so
many
other
things
in
terms
of
an
of
an
economic
recovery,
because
if
we
don't
have
the
data
that
helps
us
understand
which
business
sectors
were
completely
lost
and
how
and
the
ones
that
are
struggling
and
how
we
support
them,
how
do
we
really
really
sufficiently
move
forward
as
a
state
and
as
an
economy
for
our
state?
N
K
Yes,
michael
brown,
director
go
ahead.
Almost
the
second
week
of
the
pandemic,
bob
potts
here
at
goad
organized
a
weekly
call
of
all
the
state's
economists,
all
the
advisors
that
are
connected
to
goat,
and
we
have
had
that
every
thursday
and
have
extensive
body
of
knowledge
as
to
what's
happened
in
the
nevada
economy.
There's
a
tendency
in
public
life
to
always
want
to
put
scenario
around
difficult
situations,
and
we
have
not
done
that.
We
are
looking
at
an
l-shaped
recovery
of
the
potential
alphabet
series
of
recoveries.
K
Priority
has
to
be
restoration
of
public
health
systems
and
and
dealing
and
confidence
needed
for
business,
travelers
convention
travelers
to
return
to
las
vegas.
So
we
have
prioritized
first
and
foremost
based
on
that
data.
The
public
health
response,
and
only
after
july
started
to
focus
on
relief
now
focused
here
at
the
end
of
the
year
on
some
potential
longer
term
resilience
matters,
but
we.
Q
K
K
K
I
want
to
commend
bob
for
doing
this
because
he
started
it
by
using
the
small
business
administration's
responses
that
they
received
for
the
initial
round
of
of
disaster
relief
loans,
and
he
really
built
this
model
out
and
then
brought
all
the
state
economists
and
experts
into
the
room
for
these
weekly
briefings.
So
we
have
a
very
good
feel
for
all
this
and
we'll
get
that
around
everyone.
Thank
you.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
My
question
goes
back
to
the
process
and
the
documents
that
were
submitted
to
us
that
it
was
mentioned.
You're
seeking
out
five
economic
analysis
are
there's
going
to
be
and
you're
going
to
contract
that
out.
Are
they
five
separate
groups
that
you're
using
and
then
you're
going
to
compile
that
all
into
one
item,
and
you
have
a
set
date
for
that?
So
can
you
fill
me
in
on
perhaps
a
process,
and
then
I
have
a
follow-up
question.
N
Treasurer
conan
for
the
record.
Thanks
for
the
question.
Yes,
there
are
five
separate
industry
leading
experts.
Three,
I
believe,
based
in
nevada.
One
is
the
the
premier
infrastructure
group
in
the
united
states
and
the
others
premier
behavioral
health
group
in
the
united
states,
neither
of
which
are
based
in
nevada.
The
others
are,
and
the
process
is
upon
approval.
We
will
move
to
board
of
examiners.
N
We
have
contracts
in
place
in
front
of
them
for
their
review
and
approval
and
then
immediately
get
to
work,
putting
draft
reports
together,
which
would
be
due
approximately
a
month
from
today
around
the
beginning
of
november.
Then
those
reports
get
consolidated
and
made
final
and
then
used
all
before
december
30th,
which
is
and.
H
H
Okay
and
then
my
next
actual
question
is
looking
at
the
the
five
different
sets
of
information
that
you're
gathering
having
been
involved
with
this
for
quite
a
long
time.
We
hear
study
after
study
in
each
of
these
departments
is
something
like
broadband.
It's
been
an
issue
for
our
state
for
a
long
time.
We've
done,
in
my
mind,
infinite
studies
on
this
problem
and
and
behavioral
health.
I
mean
those
of
us
involved
in
the
four
quadrants
of
the
state
and
being
on
these
behavioral
health
committees,
and
we
do
analysis
after
analysis,
where
we're
lacking.
H
I'm
just
concerned
that
it
seems
like
this
is
some
duplication
and
perhaps
the
reach
should
have
been.
Maybe
the
department
heads
assembly
department
saying
hey:
what's
your
need
because
they've
been
looking
at
this
for
a
long
time
and
I'm
just
wondering
if,
if
that's
what
your
consultants
are
going
to
do,
just
basically
go
to
the
departments
that
have
already
been
doing
this,
and
is
this
how
we're
spending
this
money?
H
N
Absolutely
treasure
conan
to
the
record
first
off
and
I
think
that's
an
exceptionally
good
question
and
a
clarification
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
make.
This
is
not
a
make
work,
consolidation
process.
This
is
taking
the
work
that
the
department
heads
have
been
working
on.
N
That
has
to
be
supported
by
property
taxes
or
something
else,
and
that's
where
the
infrastructure
bank
piece
comes
in
right.
So
all
of
this
ties
together
to
provide
not
just
an
answer
to
the.
What
should
we
do,
but,
finally,
an
answer
to
the?
How
can
we
do
it
and
that's
why
I
feel
comfortable
bringing
studies
forward,
because
I
know
if
we
can
answer
the,
how
can
we
do
it
question
these
things
can
actually
get
done?
L
Thank
you
so
much.
I
appreciate
that,
and
some
of
this
is
going
to
be
echoing
what
assemblywoman
titus
just
mentioned.
It
just
seems
to
me
that
so
many
of
these
needs
that
we're
talking
about,
I
feel
like
we
have
empirical
evidence,
if
not
studies
already
existing
about
what
the
needs
are,
and
it's
always
just
been
a
lack
of
funding
to
actually
accomplish
them.
With,
with
with
broadband,
we
know,
we
need
more
more
infrastructure
and
it's
just
a
matter
of
build
out
specifically
with
behavioral
health.
We
we
know
what
the
issues
are.
L
They've
been
well
documented,
well
discussed.
You
know
lengthy
conversations
on
the
public
testimony
regarding
this,
but
we
also
know
that
there
have
been
requests
from
federally
qualified
health
care
centers
to
say
we
plan
to
build
out
and
we
can
meet
this
public
health
care
crisis
need
if
we
can
get
this
small
investment
to
help
us
expand
our
footprint,
so
we
can
take
in
more
patients
and
provide
specifically
more
behavioral
health.
So
I'm
especially
opposed
to
the
idea
of
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
study.
L
There
are
requests
sitting
there
for
dollars
that
can
can
be
put
to
work
so
that
we
can
immediately
start
expanding
capacity
in
behavioral
health
and
I
know
of
one
project,
but
I'm
sure
that
there's
many
other
statewide
and
building
out
those
feather
readily
qualified
healthcare
centers
would
be
so
important.
I
don't
think
we
need.
L
I
think
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
study
that
need
is,
is
probably
the
the
least
best
use
of
those
dollars
and
then
just
at
going
around
the
studies
on
displaced
workforce,
we
have
so
many
departments
that
do
that
work
and
who
have
been
keeping
track
of
data
for
years.
L
I
know
chair
chairwoman,
carlton
was
was
talking
about
them,
no
sitting
that
on
on
the
subcommittee
of
health
and
human
services,
when
we
review
those
programs,
especially
the
programs
within
dieter
and
regard
regarding
workforce,
we
have
so
many
entities
out
there
and
and
once
again
we
we've
talked
about
this.
So
much
that
I
don't.
I
don't
think
we
need
a
study
on
it.
L
I
think
it's
about
actually
identifying
project
and
getting
dollars
to
work,
and-
and
so
I
just
I
guess-
that's
my
my
biggest
thing-
is
that
we've
we've
been
presented
with
the
legislature
with
dozens
of
projects
that
we
weren't
able
to
afford
in
a
lot
of
these
arenas,
and-
and
I
imagine
that
there
has
to
be-
you
know-
I
would
say-
shovel
ready,
although
they're
not
all
shoveled
but
as
a
use
of
analogy,
there
are
plans
out
there
that
I
think
could
probably
hit
the
ground
running,
that
just
need
dollars
behind
them
and
we
finally
have
the
dollars.
L
N
Sure
do
my
best
on
the
federally
qualified
health
centers.
We
completely
agree.
Our
office
worked
with
senator
cortez
masto's
office
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
treasury
guidance
and
ability
to
use
money
for
those
things
that
doesn't
fall
within
economic
development
doesn't
fall
within
a
direct
around
or
my
scope,
but
deeply
support.
It
think
it
would
be
an
eligible
use.
N
What
this
does
is
it
helps
us
identify
how
to
pay
for
things
like
that,
and
I
can't
speak
to
it's
not
in
our
office's
control
on
spend
of
crf
and
prioritization
of
it,
but
we
were
asked
to
put
together
economic
development
work,
and
this
is
economic
development
work
that
will
help
fix
that
long-term
behavioral
health
problem
by
finding
money.
That
is
not
tax
money,
because
I
think
you
hit
it
right
on
the
head.
We
know
right
that
there
is
needs
from
an
fqhc
and
and
for
other
functions
on
behavioral
health.
N
We
know
that
there's
needs
on
broadband,
but
ocit
tells
us
that
they
need
additional
studies
and
they
need
to
know
how
to
pay
for
it,
and
what
this
does
is
it
helps
create
that
long-term
resiliency
which
lets
us
pay
for
this,
isn't
another
study
for
the
sake
of
a
study.
I
don't
have
time
and
I
expect
none
of
you
have
time.
N
Nor
would
I
bring
you
that,
but
this
is
a
study
about
how
to
pay
for
it
and
how
to
make
sure
that
we
are
dealing
with
the
ramifications
of
the
pandemic
and
creating
long-term
resiliency
for
it.
I
completely
agree,
I
think,
a
great
use
of
the
funds
that
are
left
and
I
would
certainly
be
up
there
testifying
for
it.
In
37
million
of
economic
development
money,
we're
not
spending
would
be
to
support
some
of
those
fqhcs.
N
L
I
I
feel-
and
I
think
maybe
I
think
maybe
that's
the
the
sentiment
that
we're
feeling
is
that
disconnect
in
the
agent
sees
to
do
the
work.
So
are
you?
Is
there
something
prescriptive
in
the
cares?
Act.
That's
preventing
these
specific
projects
from
falling
under
the
purview
of
health
and
human
services
or
dieter
or
weala,
or
those
kind
of
existing
programs.
N
No,
but
when
those
agencies
have
been
focused
on
the
response-
and
we
were
tasked
with
focusing
on
the
recovery
and
the
resiliency
and
so
we're
thinking
about
what
the
steps
are
beyond
this
and
how
we're
going
to
pay
for
them,
create
the
jobs
associated
with
expanding
fqhcs,
create
the
jobs
associated
with
expanding
broadband,
the
jobs
associated
with
supply
chain
and
the
rest
that's
been
our
focus,
but
we're,
of
course,
working
with
those
departments
to
make
sure
that
the
needs
they
have
and
the
studies
they
already
have
done
aren't
repeated
right
that
we're
not
wasting
money
or
funds.
N
Frankly,
that's
how
we
were
able
to
get
the
initial
projections
of
2.5
million
down
to
this
1.05
million
by
working
with
those
agencies
to
not
be
redundant
and
to
make
sure
that
we
were
doing
the
work
necessary
for
us.
I
think
to
some
extent.
Yes,
these
are
not
functions
of
the
treasurer's
office
and
I
deeply
look
forward
to
getting
back
to
a
post-pandemic
time
when
we
can
talk
about
bonds
in
college
savings.
K
Michael
brown,
director
gohan,
a
part
of
this,
also
comes
out
of
the
advice
that
we
had
received
from
sri
that
we
should
look
for
our
opportunities
to
strengthen
the
core
infrastructure
of
the
state
and
to
work
across
agency
in
the
in
this
area,
and
treasure
brought
this
idea
forward.
We've
edited
it
with
our
advisors
at
stanford
research
institute,
and
they
they
thought
it
was
something
that
we
should
pursue.
They
said
the
same
to
the
go
at
board.
K
A
So
I
guess
one
of
my
clean
up
questions
will
be
to
the
treasurer.
Of
course
we
want
to
do
everything
that
we
can
to
help
create
jobs,
but
in
my
years
in
the
legislature
I
haven't
seen
too
many
studies
actually
create
jobs,
except
for
the
people
who
do
the
studies.
A
So
we've
not
talked
anything
about
implementation
and
we've
not
talked
about
anything
about
the
possible
request
from
any
of
these
agencies
or
ed
to
be
able
to
incentivize
more
businesses
to
come
after
we
do
these
studies.
So
how
do
these
studies
create
jobs.
N
Treasure
conan
for
the
record
I'll.
Let
director
brown
talk
from.
N
Perspective,
but
in
order
to
create
infrastructure,
construction
jobs,
we
have
to
pay
for
them
and,
of
course,
and
that's
always
been
an
issue
we
know,
even
though
our
bond
rating
remains
high
and
we're
able
to
borrow
money,
the
the
simple
tax
base
size
of
the
state
prevents
us
from
doing
all
the
infrastructure
work
we'd
like
to
do
infrastructure,
jobs
and
again
I
think
that's
why
mr
stanley
testified
earlier
infrastructure.
Jobs
in
nevada
are
good,
high-paying,
union
jobs
and
the
type
of
work
that
we
try
and
support.
N
This
work
will
give
us
the
tools
that
we
need
and
the
plan
that
we
need
to
go
raise
money
from
outside
the
state
for
the
state
infrastructure
bank
to
finance
projects
without
requiring
tax
incentives.
That's
the
the
purpose
of
this
and
why
this
is
different
than
other
studies
and
other
groups
of
studies
is
because
we're
not
trying
to
figure
out
just
the
problem.
I
think
we
to
the
majority
leader's
point.
We
know
what
the
problem
is.
We
need
to
have
more
behavioral
health
centers.
N
We
need
to
fund
fqhcs
and
expand
the
existing
ones
and
put
ones
in
communities
where
they
don't
currently
exist.
We
don't
have
enough,
we
need
to
go,
find
additional
ways
to
get
federal
dollars
into
projects
like
this.
This
is
the
vehicle
and
it
supports
something
the
legislature
created
in
2017
in
assembly,
bill
399,
that
state
infrastructure
bank.
This
gets
that
off
the
ground
and
then
we're
able
to
use
that
money
to
create
jobs.
N
Thousands
of
construction
jobs,
thousands
in
broadband
installation
in
utility
expansion
in
green
energy,
but
we
don't
have
anything
to
pay
for
them
right
now,
and
the
tax
base
you
know
is
is
not
is
not
in
my
my
court,
it's
in
your
court,
and
I
don't
I
don't
envy
you
that,
but
this
is
something
we
can
do
to
help
and
a
small
amount
of
money
that
can
create
a
long-term
economic
resiliency
in
nevada,
which
is
why
we're
supporting
it.
I
hope
that
answers
the
question.
A
Thank
you,
it
sort
of
does,
but
it
really
doesn't
answer
the
question
on
how
this
creates
jobs,
but
I
understand
the
process
that
you
think
it
will
do.
I'm
concerned
about
doing
studies
and
there
being
no
implementation
plan,
and
since
we
did
get
this
document
so
late
and
staff
really
didn't
have
a
chance
to
follow
up
with
you,
there's
still
a
lot
of
unanswered
questions
so
with
that
I'd
open
it
up
to
other
members
at
this
time.
A
If
they
have
any
follow-up
questions,
I
do
man,
I'm
sure
if
I
may
yet
speaker
yes
good
morning.
Thank
you.
M
Mr
treasurer,
I
just
I
need
shorter,
more
concise
answers
on
the
job
issue,
and
so
you
number
one
well,
can
you
can?
Can
you
in
a
clearer
way
indicate
whether
or
not
this
is
going
to
create
jobs
and
b,
what,
and
you
said,
thousands
and
thousands
of
construction
jobs?
What
timeline
are
we
looking
at?
If,
if,
if,
if
I'm
going
to
support
this
and
say
that
part
of
my
reasoning
is
because
this
is
going
to
create
jobs
and
clean
energy
jobs
or
whatever
it's
going
to
create
jobs?
M
When
am
I
going
to
be
able
to
answer
the
question
as
to
whether
or
not
that
actually
happens
like
so?
Can
you
give
me
a
clear
indication
of
exactly
how
this
is
going
to
create
jobs
and
when,
like
by
when
are
we?
Are
we
going
to
really
get
a
return
on
this
decision
to
know
if
it
came
to
fruition.
N
Treasure
coming
into
the
record
and
speaker,
I
certainly
try
to
use
fewer
words
and
be
more
concise.
The
the
question
on
timing
is
one
that
is
a
little
bit
market
dependent.
But
let's
talk
in
broad
scopes.
We
expect
that,
if
we're
able
to
get
this
work
done,
that
will
quickly
lead
to
the
inflammation
of
an
infrastructure
bank
which
will
allow
with
shovel
ready
projects
for
us
to
start
getting
jobs
towards
the
end
of
next
year.
So
the
end
of
calendar
21,
the
beginning
of
calendar
22.,
that's
our
timeline!
D
N
Speaks
to
how
it
will
create
jobs
and
I'll
go
back
to
the
the
last
recession
and
our
just
real
briefly.
The
state
lost
out
on
a
number
of
projects,
because
we
weren't
shovel
ready,
because
we
didn't
have
a
consolidated
approach
to
where
those
funds
should
go,
and
so
different
municipalities
and
counties
applied
for
potential
projects
and
they
all
got
together
and
did
their
own
individual
projects
and
those
projects
competed
against
each
other
for
federal
and
other
dollars.
N
The
goal
of
this
in
some
ways
is
to
bring
all
of
that
together
and
make
sure
that
the
efforts
that
are
made
are
consolidated
and
structured
with
input
from
the
municipalities
in
the
counties,
but
to
try
and
better
achieve
the
federal
funding
that
is
out
there
and
we'll
be
out
there,
as
well
as
a
significant,
I
say
significant.
I
mean
about
2.8
trillion
dollars
worth
of
private
capital,
currently
on
the
sideline.
Looking
for
things
like
infrastructure
projects
to
invest
in.
M
Answers
the
question,
mr
treasurer:
what
this
does
that
we're
not
able
to
do
what
is
this
paying
for
that
we're
not
able
to
do
in
its
absence.
N
Treasure
coin:
for
the
record,
it
pays
for
the
how
right
so
we
know
that
we
need
more
behavioral
health
centers,
but
we
don't
have
a
plan
to
implement
them
to
raise
the
money
for
them
to
spend
and
create
the
jobs
for
them.
We
know
that
we
need
more
broadband,
but
we
don't
have
the
money,
and
so
while
I
do
think
that
the
use
of
some
of
the
additional
carriage
dollars
could
be
used
for
immediate
work,
this
creates
long-term
resiliency
and
a
plan
for
long-term
resiliency.
K
Yes,
michael
brown
at
goad,
if
I
can
just
amplify
this-
is
the
leap
forward.
This
is
we've
been
advised
by
sri
that
you
know
this
is
the
biggest
fall
since
the
great
depression
in
the
u.s
economy
and
we've
been
advised
to
start
looking
much
further
down
down
the
road
here
and
they
they
prioritized
with
the
go
ahead
board
last
week,
making
sure
we
stand
up
the
industrial
bank
to
help
bring
this
infrastructure.
M
I
I
think
I
I
think,
I'm
for
now,
I'm
still
not
entirely
clear
on
when
we
say
the
how
what
this
money-
and
I
mean-
I'm-
probably
oversimplified-
but
what
this
money
is
actually
going
to
pay
for
to
accomplish
this,
like
you
said,
we
need
our
banner,
we
need
the
money
to
pay,
for.
Is
this
money
going
to
pay
for
broadband?
Is
this
money
going
to
pay
for
positions?
Is
this
money
going
to
pay
for
staffing
for
a
meeting
to
take
place
for
all
these
entities
to
come
together
to
develop
a
plan?
N
Treasure
conan's
record,
so
the
money
funds
studies
that
include
the
steps
of
action
that
need
to
be
taken,
whether
or
not
their
regulatory
in
the
case
of
the
infrastructure
bank
would
be
things
like
helping
to
put
together
the
bylaws
so
that
that
bank,
which
has
been
in
existence
conceptually
since
2017
but
hasn't
actually
done
anything,
can
be
implemented
right,
we'll
put
together
shovel
ready
vehicles
for
broadband
and
the
rest,
so
that
we
can
go
raise
the
money
to
get
those
things
done.
It
creates
the.
N
How
is,
I
guess,
the
best
way
to
put
it?
It's
not
for
staff
time
it's
not.
None
of
it
is
being
spent
administratively
through
our
office
or
through
goed,
none
of
it's
spent
for
for
marketing
or
ribbon
cuttings
or
anything
else.
It
is
literally
spent
for
the
how
so
that
we
can
create
the
road
map
to
get
out
of
this,
and
I
think
it's
it's
important
to
mention
that
you
know
if
we
want
to
move
away
from
things
like
incentives,
we
need
other
tools.
We
need
to
be
able
to
raise
money
separately.
N
We
need
to
be
able
to
incent
businesses
separately
and
one
of
the
pieces
of
feedback,
and
I'm
sure
director
brown
can
expand
on
this.
That
we
get
a
lot
is
we
have
to
pay
businesses
to
come
here
because
the
infrastructure
doesn't
exist,
and
so
the
goal
here
is
to
fix
that
problem
from
a
long-term
perspective,
while
creating
short
and
long-term
jobs.
K
One
of
the
things
that's
coming
out
of
our
planning
is
that
we
need
to
focus
on
our
infrastructure
in
the
state
as
part
of
economic
development
in
a
large
way,
and
that
this
is
really
the
seed
corn
or
the
vehicle
that
starts
starts
that
process
through
the
with
with
the
treasure
to
attract
that
attract
that
kind
of
private
sector
capital
into
an
industrial
bank,
but
the
those
investors
need
the
confidence
of
these
kinds
of
studies
so
that
we
can
start
that
process.
Like
I
say
this
is
this
is
looking
down
the
road.
K
M
Director
brown:
do
we
have
businesses,
I'm
just
I'm
trying
to
get
to
something
concrete?
Do
we
have
businesses
who
have
indicated
we're
more
likely
to
come
if
there's
a
study
in
place
that
will
give
some
direction
and
create
a
vision
of
for
expanding
infrastructure.
K
Also
ask
the
treasurer
to
comment
on
that,
but
certainly
I'll
tell
you
that
we
are
finding
the
situation
where
our
infrastructure
in
enhance.
We
need
enhancements
to
infrastructure,
to
kind
of
bring
the
kinds
of
businesses
we're
going
to
need
in
a
post-pandemic
economy.
A
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
and
mr
conan
and
mr
brown.
This
is
the
exact
problem
with
sending
us
a
work
program
with
only
24
hours
to
go
over.
We
have
had
to
spend
an
inordinate
amount
of
time
on
this
program
and
we
have
many
other
items
to
deal
with
and
we
have
to
share
this
resource
with
another
committee
this
afternoon.
So
I'd
be
happy
to
open
it
up
to
any
other
committee
members
that
have
very
brief
questions,
but
we
really
do
need
to
move
on.
A
But
my
recommendation
to
you
in
the
future
is
to
please
send
us
a
more
vetted
program
and
give
us
time
to
have
staff
reach
out
and
get
questions
to
these
answers.
So
we
don't
have
to
go
through
all
of
all
of
this
to
to
get
where
we
need
to
be
so
with
that
I
believe,
senator
brooks.
Did
you
have
a
question.
F
Yes,
madam
chair,
thank
you.
I
I,
I
realized
that
we
are
in
an
unprecedented
time
and,
and
things
have
have
changed
and,
and
we
have
gone
from
economic
development,
to
an
economic
recovery
and
our
our
literal
life
depends
on
it,
and
I
have.
I
have.
Has
your
office,
whether
it's
the
economic
office
of
economic
development
or
it's,
the
treasurer's
office
who's
now
taking
on
additional
roles?
Have
they
grown
in
in
any
substantial
way?
During
this
this,
this
economic
crisis
that
we're
in.
K
Michael
brown
at
go
ahead:
no
we've,
not
we've
redeployed
staff
at
the
front
end
to
help
with
the
immediate
relief
measures
that
were
in
place,
and
then
we
were
asked
to
take
on
the
role
of
helping
with
economic
relief
measures
in
public
health
areas,
but
no
we've
not
added
any
folks.
This
is
all
being
done
internally.
F
Well,
I
mean,
and
in
my
day
job
I
I've
talked
to
people
all
over
the
country
and
and
in
this
position
I
talked
to
legislators
and
economic
development
experts
all
over
the
country
and
for
years,
not
just
during
this.
This
crisis
that
we're
in
they
have
have
said
that
nevada
takes
a
piecemeal
approach
to
this,
and
and
when
you
talk
about
and
when
mr
speaker
asked
about,
are
there
companies
that
that
would
come
here
did.
F
The
answer
is
is
resoundingly
yes
and
I
met
with
with
the
the
permitting
council,
the
federal
permitting
council
created
under
the
obama
administration
and
strengthened
and
grown
under
the
trump
administration,
and
they
said
there
are
trillions
of
dollars.
Trillions
with
the
t
of
of
investment
that
would
come
to
nevada
if
nevada
had
could
could
take
a
more
coordinated
approach
on
how
we
look
at
economic
development
and
all
the
aspects
of
our
government.
And
so
I
would
say
that
not
only
is
this
necessary
and
it's
timely,
it
is.
F
It
is
long
overdue
and
I
would
say
the
budget
probably
isn't
large
enough
for
for
the
studies
and
the
capacity,
the
intellectual
capacity.
We
need
to
bring
to
our
state
to
coordinate
our
efforts
amongst
these
really
talented
agencies.
We
have
here
in
the
state
to
go
forward
and
to
diversify
our
economy,
so
I
I
would
just
say
this
is
an
incredibly
important
issue
that
we
need
to
take
up
immediately.
K
Thank
you,
michael
brown,
for
the
record
to
go
ahead.
Yes,
thank
you.
Senator
while
there's
been
no
staff
at
it,
there
has
been
an
unprecedented
level
of
coordination
and
cooperation
between
your
three
lead.
Business
agencies
go
at
business
and
industry
and
the
treasurer's
office
unprecedented
level
of
integration
of
teams
working
across
silos
on
these
matters.
A
Thank
you,
sorry
to
cut
you
off
earlier,
there's
just
a
time
delay.
I
believe
I
still
have
other
folks.
So
please
try
to
make
it
make
it
brief.
If
you
can
miss
monroe
moreno,
did
you
have
a
question.
R
R
I
hate
studies.
I
gotta
just
say
that
I
hate
studies,
but
if
it's
a
study,
that's
going
to
help
us
get
to
a
better
place
to
be
prepared
for
the
next
pandemic,
then
I
understand
why
we
need
to
have
it.
However,
we
have
immediate
needs
in
behavioral
health
care.
So
when
I
look
at
everything
that's
listed
in
this
work
program,
there
are
requests
for
behavioral
healthcare
needs
right
now
today.
R
Would
it
be
bet
better
to
spend
allocated
for
this
study
to
put
the
funding
towards
what
those
immediate
needs
are
for
behavioral
health
care,
as
we
move
forward
with
the
workforce
development,
the
the
broadband
and
especially
our
supply
chain,
to
put
us
in
a
better
position
for
future
needs
for
this
state
and
give
us
a
blueprint
that
we
as
legislators,
can
work
with
and
working
with
the
the
departments
within
the
state.
So
they
are
on
a
better
end.
The
next
time.
N
N
Eight
percent
of
the
total
coronavirus
package
and
deeply
support,
as
we
have
through
residential
commercial,
the
pets,
programs
and
other
direct
aid
recovery
pieces
that
most
of
that
money
should
go
out
on
the
street
where
it's
most
needed,
but
this
million
dollars
which
helps
set
us
up
better,
not
just
for
this
pandemic,
but
for
future
pandemics
and
hopefully
solves
some
of
the
long-standing
issues
we
have
on
infrastructure.
N
A
And
thank
you
miss
monroe
right
now.
Assemblywoman
neil
did
you
still
have
a
question
or
did
it
get
answered.
A
And
we
are
doing
d3
separate
from
d4,
so
we'll
finish
up
d3
and
then
move
on
to
d4.
Since
d4
has
a
lot
more
information
provided
to
us,
so
we
were
able
to
to
work.
We
can
work
on
that
one.
Are
there
any
other
questions
on
d3.
C
Actually,
the
question
is
for
legal:
this
is
cares,
money
which,
I
believe
is
for
immediate
relief,
not
for
long-term
relief,
and
the
director
has
just
said
that
it
was
not
immediate
relief,
so
I'm
wondering
does
the
does
it
actually
fit,
or
will
we
run
afoul
of
the
federal
government
and
have
to
pay
some
of
this
money
back.
F
This
is
brian
fernley,
with
the
legal
division,
at
least
with
respect
to
the
timing.
The
the
money
would
need
to
be
spent
by
december
30th.
So
my
understanding
of
what
the
testimony
is
is
that
the
money
would
be
spent
by,
and
that
is
the
that
aspect
of
it
is
the
component
of
it.
C
But
what
I'm
wondering
mr
fernley
is:
do
we
have
to
spend
that
money
on
certain
things
that
are
related
to
kobe,
because
I
don't
see
this
being
that
related
to
cove,
but
it's
kind
of
like
a
stretch,
it's
like
we're
looking
to
spend
some
of
the
federal
government
money.
Just
if
you
clear
that
up
for
me,
so
I
could
make
an
intelligent
vote
here.
F
S
A
Okay
with
that
committee,
I
I
do
have
some
concerns
about
this,
and
I've
expressed
my
concerns.
A
One
of
the
biggest
was
the
fact
that
we
got
this
so
late,
and
we've
now
had
to
have
a
very,
very
long
discussion
about
something
that
should
that
we
should
have
had
answers
for
in
the
beginning,
and
I
expressed
those
concerns
with
the
treasurer
and
mr
brown
that
please,
if
we
do
this
again,
don't
send
it
to
us
if
it's
not
quite
ready
for
prime
time,
it
makes
it
more
difficult
for
the
committee
to
process
these
items,
especially
in
such
a
limited
limited
time-
and
I
know
this
item
is
a
time.
I
I
I'm
really
struggling
with
this
particular
item
and
I
know
it's
time
sensitive,
but
I
I
also
feel
like
we're
crunched
for
time,
because
I
agree
with
my
colleague
from
I
believe:
district
37,
whatever
benitez
thompson,
that
we
I
want
more
action,
and
I
want
projects
that,
as
she
stated,
shovel
ready
because
the
more
I
thought
about
it,
how
we're
paying
someone
to
tell
us
how
to
spend
money-
and
I
and
I
I'm
uncomfortable
with
it,
not
being
action,
but
I
get
because
I
know
for
a
fact,
like
broadband,
what
we
went
through
just
trying
to
get
our
kids
in
school
in
southern
nevada
that
there
is
true
connectivity
issues,
and
that
is
immediate
action
and
it's
directly
related
to
covid,
and
so
that's
not
neces.
I
F
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
this,
this
agenda
item
and-
and
I
think
that
that
it's
the
the
time
is
very
sensitive
when
we
look
at
the
time
frame
that
they
that
the
treasurer
and
mr
brown
laid
out
for
us
on
being
able
to
get
it
done,
get
it
contracted,
get
the
study
and
get
the
money
spent
and
go
to
work
and
raising
private
capital.
A
A
From
assemblywoman
so
comments
on
the
motion.
C
Yes,
ma'am,
since
legal
tells
us
that
this
is
a
good
use
of
our
cares
funds.
I
think
that
anything
we
can
do
to
actually
build
the
infrastructure
here
and
bring
business
in
probably
would
be
a
very
good
idea.
We
we're
13
and
a
half
percent
unemployment
now
and
I'd
like
to
see
that
money
actually
go
to
opening
new
businesses.
If
there
was
a
way
to
do
that,
but
apparently
there's
not
so
let's
look
at
the
future
and
we
need
to
move
on
from
here.
C
Defender
donkey
chia
broadband
is
an
issue,
especially
in
the
rurals,
and
I
think,
as
assemblywoman
neil
said,
you
know
we
need
to
look
at
that.
I
think
anything
we
can
do
to
enhance
it
and
it
is
again
cares
money.
It
will
be
spent
somewhere.
A
Thank
you
senator
I
just
there's
there's
so
many
need,
so
any
other
questions
or
comments.
These
are
always
decisions.
L
I
just
have
just
one
a
quick
one,
madam
chair,
because
I'm
gonna
be
a
no
on
the
specific
proposal,
but
I
feel
like
the
information
and
that
I
received
and
read
about
it.
It's
essentially
five
studies
and
then
the
sixth
one
is
a
study
of
the
studies
right
kind
of
like
a
meta
and
then
I'm
hearing
a
lot
of
talk
about
establishing
an
infrastructure
bank,
and
I
don't
see
anything
in
these
documents
that
actually
talk
about
an
infrastructure
bank.
L
But
I
that's
not
what
I
that's
not
what
I
I
see
here
and
so
I'm
just
I'm.
I'm
gonna
be
a
no
just,
because
I
think
that
the
immediate
need
is
to
spend
dollars.
And
if
the
idea
was
an
infrastructure
bank,
then
I
would
have
loved
to
see
that
the
documentation
proposal
and
layout
for
that.
But
but
I
I
just
don't-
I
don't
see
that.
But
I'm
you
know,
I'm
just
one
person,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
had
my
justification
on
the
record.
L
J
J
I
certainly
appreciate
the
comments
made
by
the
chair
regarding
the
lateness
of
the
proposal,
but
I
really
appreciate
us
taking
the
time
today
to
get
all
of
these
questions
answered,
and
originally
I
was
not
in
support
of
this
because
of
the
fact
we
didn't
have
all
of
the
information,
but
I
feel
better
now,
after
the
long
discussion
we've
had
so
I
just
wanted
to
let
you
all
know
that
I
will
be
supporting
the
motion
for
the
reasons
that
have
been
brought
forth
in
the
discussion.
Thank
you.
D
C
Thank
you.
I
I
too
just
wanted
to
make
some
comments.
I
I
felt
the
same
way.
I
think
there
was
a
lot
of
questions
as
to
what
needed
to
happen
here.
What
I've
heard
here
today,
because
one
of
my
biggest
frustrations
as
I
work,
especially
on
technology
issues,
broadband
issue
is
a
really
big
issue
and
we
keep
talking
about.
We
know
what
we
need
to
do.
We
keep
talking
about
about
that,
but
I
think
what
this
will
allow
us
to.
C
Finally
figure
out
is
how
do
we
pay
for
that,
and
sometimes
we
have
that
the
discussion,
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
have
that
information
in
order
to
know
what
to
do.
I
you
know,
I
too
have
had
the
same
discussion
with
business
leaders
from
across
the
country
and
they
always
talk
about
infrastructure
and
and
talk
about
how
we
seem
to
piecemeal
everything,
and
I
think
this
is
allowing
us
to
look
to
the
future
on
how
we
can
find
dollars
to
take
care
of
these
issues
that
we
all
know
we
have.
D
M
D
D
D
D
D
D
J
A
Thank
you,
mr
compotic,
so
with
that,
if
we
could
please
move
on
to
the
next
item
number
four
and
committee
members,
we
try
to
need
to
move
as
expeditiously
as
possible,
but
still
give
everything.
Good
consideration.
A
Item
number
four
office,
governor's
office
of
economic
development,
again
1.2
million
dollars
in
cares,
act,
money
for
nevada,
labor
certification
plan
and
procure
a
workforce
skills
matching
program.
I
believe
there
were
some
questions
on
this
item.
I'm
going
to
go
directly
to
questions.
I
believe
senator
dennis
was
first
up
on
this
one.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I'll
be
quick.
Mine
was
just
on
the
skills
matching
software,
just
wondering
the
is
this
an
off-the-shelf
thing?
What
is
required
to
be
implemented
with
our
current
so
that
it
so
that
it
works
with
the
other
data
that
we
have?
So
if
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
that.
K
L
A
We
cannot
hear
you,
sir,
mr
potts,
there's
no
there's
no
sound.
E
All
right
again,
sorry
about
that.
Madam
chair
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
bob
potts
deputy
director
with
go
ed,
as
director
brown
mentioned
early
on
I've
facilitated
calls
with
economists
going
back
to
the
middle
of
march
right,
and
this
has
been
a
very
interesting
downturn
because
it's
been
driven
by
policy
decisions
and
a
health
response
right
as
economists,
we
always
look
at.
We
love
to
go
to
the
data,
an
assembly
woman.
Neil
knows
this.
I
worked
with
a
similar
neil,
quite
a
bit
on
the
data
side
of
things.
E
We
always
want
to
go
to
the
data
side
of
things
to
to
make
sure
that
we
can
keep
the
decisions
that
we
make
and
the
policies
that
we
made
between
the
ditches
right.
But
in
this
situation
you
really
have
to
understand
how
economies
work
and
the
art
of
of
the
art
side
of
the
economist
equation,
so
both
the
science
and
art.
I
work
with
a
lot
of
different
data
platforms.
E
This
vendor
I've
worked
with
consistently
for
quite
a
few
years
now,
and
they
are
big
data
people,
so
they
take
very
complex
information.
They
package
it
up
in
a
way.
That's
very
understandable
and
palatable
what
really
stood
out
in
this
situations.
I
mean
we're
facing
two
major
issues
going
on
right
now:
small
business
struggles
as
well
as
dislocated
workers,
so
the
workforce
side
of
things
and
the
challenges
that
businesses
face
there
are
so
much
crosstalk
going
on
in
the
workforce.
E
Side
of
things
and
part
of
my
effort
was
to
get
all
of
the
workforce
development,
all
the
education
partners
in
the
state
to
start
really
working
together
in
a
consistent
way.
So
part
of
me
bringing
this
platform
to
this
whole
group,
and
I
brought
it
into
all
the
workforce
boards.
E
You
know
whether
it's
workforce
connections,
whether
it's
nevada,
works,
the
community
colleges
in
she
owen,
osid
the
rdas
and
their
workforce
development
program,
bringing
them
all
together
to
say,
okay,
what
is
everybody
doing
so
that
we
don't
plow
the
same
ground
twice
and
let
other
go
fallow?
Okay,
so
that
was
part
of
it.
The
other
part
of
it
was
to
introduce
them
to
this
tool.
E
This
tool
is
very
different
than
most
of
the
other
tools
and
it's
been
in
development
for
over
three
years,
but
it's
really
new
and
it
looks
at
data,
that's
different
than
what
we
traditionally
look
at
in
the
labor
market
data.
It
looks
at
what
are
employers
really
telling
us
on
the
job
posting
side?
E
What
are
workers
telling
us
on
the
resumes
resume
side
and
what
are
programs
and
training
providers
telling
us
on
the
program
side,
as
well
as
information
that
shows
up
on
syllabi
and
things
like
that
right
and
it
all
goes
back
to
this
word.
Skills
right
and
skills
has
been
a
very
over
used
word
and
what
we
look
at
and
what
means
skills
to
one
person
means
a
different
thing.
So
what
they've
done
is
they've
done
this
huge
text
search
of
this
real-time
data?
What
employers
are
telling
us
what
employees
are
telling
us?
E
What
training
providers
are
telling
us
and
they
look
at
all
these
words
that
show
up
consistently
titled
skills.
So
when
an
employer
thinks
about
you
know
when
they
put
a
job
posting
out,
they'll
put
things
in
there
can
work
with
the
group.
Are
they
forward
thinking?
Are
they
outcome
oriented?
Are
they
thoughtful?
Those
are
the
kind
of
words
that
they
look
at
right,
so
they
match
that
to
what
shows
up
in
the
resumes
and
then
they
match
that
to
what
shows
up
in
the
programs
from
the
training
providers.
E
So
it
gets
us
outside
the
limitations
of
traditional
labor
market
data.
It
complements
that
in
a
very
huge
way,
but
we're
not
tied
to
all
the
challenges
that
were
faced
with
this
very
extreme
downturn
and
recovery
period
that
we're
trying
to
work
through
with
data
that
is
often
lagged.
It's
modeled,
it
has
error
terms
associated
with
it,
and
it
tells
us
this
is
who's
hiring
which
is
kind
of
what
started.
E
All
this,
the
las
vegas
chamber
has
put
together
an
economic
and
workforce
development
task
force,
and
one
of
the
first
questions
that
came
up
is
who's
hiring,
and
nobody
really
knows
that.
But
the
job
postings
are
telling
us
that,
and
this
platform
tells
us
who's
hiring
and
what
they're
looking
for.
E
Then
we
can
look
at
all
the
resumes
that
are
out
there
match
them
up,
get
them
to
work,
and
then
we
can
look
at
the
program
providers
to
help
or
the
training
providers
to
help
fill
the
gaps
between
who's,
hiring
and
and
and
dislocated
workers
that
are
out
there.
So
this
was
an
effort
to
help
address
those
questions
to
complement
what
workforce
connections
is
doing.
E
What
nevada
works
is
doing
all
the
one-stop
shops
it's
work
with
dieter
and
we
have
partnered
with
owen
owen,
is
going
to
help
us
operationalize
this
to
make
sure
that
it
gets
deployed
out
there
to
all
the
training
providers,
whether
they
be
formal
through
the
community
college
systems,
for
the
four-year
institutions
through
the
department
of
education,
how
it
gets
played
into
anything
that
cte
counselors
are
are
advising
on.
But
for
the
meantime-
and
this
is
where
it
really
matters-
this
is
an
immediate
recovery
tool
where
we
can
go
and
say
this
is
who's
hiring.
E
This
is
what
they're
looking
for,
and
this
is
the
supply
side
that
we
have
in
order
to
answer
those
questions.
So
I'll
kind
of
leave
it
at
that
to
kind
of
round
out
what
you
have
in
the
materials
in
front
of
you
and
open
it
up
any
questions
that
you
might
have.
C
Oh
thank
you
for
that.
I
mine
were
real
specific
on
on
the
technical
side
of
the
the
skills
software.
You
know
we're
paying
500
000.
Is
there
going
to
be
an
annual
cost
to
renew
that.
E
There
is
an
annual
cost
and
so
and
honestly
senator
dennis.
That
was
my
concern
too.
So
it
is
the
500
500
000
annual
fee
part
of
what's
really
going
to
be
helpful.
Here
is
they're
going
to
integrate
it
into
the
existing
platter
platforms
that
we
use
in
the
state,
whether
it's
an
employee
or
whatever,
tools
that
the
different
groups
are
using.
The
different
organizations
are
using
500
000
for
one
year.
If
we
don't
renew
it,
but
we
can
actually
leverage
it
to
get
people
back
to
work
right
during
this
recovery
period.
E
That's
my
main
goal
in
this
whole
thing,
then
we
can
work
with
the
provider
to
take
and
build
it
out
to
talk
about
career
path
and
career
explorations
to
talk
about
aligning
it
to
in
demand,
occupations
that
align
with
economic
development
priorities,
and
you
know,
target
sectors
and
and
and
building
out
training
programs
for
that.
But
where
we
sit
right
now,
it's
a
chance
for
us
to
get
to
connect
people.
That's
the
goal.
C
So
you're
saying
it's
500
000
for
this
first
year,
would
it
cost
another
500
000
to
renew
it
after
the
first
year?
Yes,
it
would
yup.
We
would
have
to
have
that
discussion,
but
you're
saying
there's
still
benefit,
even
if
we
only
do
it
for
one
year.
E
C
C
Okay
and
so,
and
I'm
what
I'm
also
hearing
from
you,
is
that
this
is
addressing
impacts
of
the
corona
pandemic
right
now,
by
being
able
to
get
this
information
through
this
software,
correct,
yes,
that's
thank
you,
manager,.
A
Thank
you
senator
dennis,
and
thank
you
for
the
great
answers
to
the
the
questions
very,
very
succinct
and
it
looks
like
this
will
actually
be
a
tool
that
will
be
able
to
be
used
very
quickly
and
will
have
definite
impact
on
folks
actually
being
able
to
get
jobs.
So
we
do
appreciate
that.
Are
there
other
questions
from
other
committee
members
at
this
time.
I
So
two
quick
questions.
First,
one
good
seeing
you,
mr
potts
love.
You
lag
time
lag
time
on.
What's
going
to
be
the
lag
time
for
this
particular
data
and
then
two
great
on
the
job
matching
skills.
But
how
are
we?
What
are
the
discussions
around
aligning
business
development
to
then
match
those
workers
within
the
space?
I
And
I'm
asking
that
because
in
some
of
the
language
it
had
degree
degree
programs,
you
know
typically
we'll
place
people
in
degree
programs
to
bias
time
until
an
industry
can
come
up
to
speed
to
higher,
and
so
I'm
wondering
what
are
our
conversations
because
we're
going
to
have
to
do
new
business
development
and
support
and
how
our
alignment
of
these
skills
is
connecting
that
particular
dot.
E
So
this
bot
pods
again
for
the
record,
so
to
go
back
to
what
I
said
to
senator
dennis.
We
can
hit
the
ground
running
right
now
in
a
recovery
mode
right,
getting
dislocated
workers
back
to
work
with
who's
hiring
right,
and
so
you
can
match
that
up.
That
can
hit
the
ground
running
as
soon
as
we
get
contract
signed.
So
that's
that's
that
portion
of
it,
but
as
we
talked
about
being
able
to
integrate
it
into
existing
platforms
with
the
career
explorer,
the
libraries
are
using
it
or
employing
v.
E
You
know
that's
good.
They
will
work
on
that
and
they're
very
accommodating
towards
doing
that.
But
what
we
can
also
talk
about
to
your
point
about
business
development
right
and
getting
you
know
helping
with
expansions
or
companies
that
want
to
relocate
to
our
state
and
everything
else.
Then
we
can
build
into
it
on
on
the
back
end
saying
these
are
these
are
the
directions
that
we
want
to
diversify,
nevada's
economy
and
to
where
we
want
to
take
it.
This
is
the
kind
of
staff
that
they're
looking
for.
E
We
can
back
into
that
staff
that
they're
looking
for
on
the
kind
of
skills
employers
in
those
industries
are
looking
for
and
then
tie
it
back.
Then
we
can
match
those
skills
back
up
to
our
existing
workforce,
see
where
the
gaps
are
talk
to
our
training
providers,
to
see
what
capacity
we
have
to
fill
those
gaps,
and
we
can
build
on
that.
You
know
add
more
to
where
we
lack
capacity.
You
know
build
up
and
add
to
where
we
have
no
capacity.
E
So
this
is
all
something
that
we
can
evolve
out
and
the
way
that
I'm
looking
at
this
right
now.
It
kind
of
serves
as
not
only
a
recovery
tool
right
now
for
these
dislocated
workers,
but
it
also
creates
kind
of
a
pilot
program
of
how
we
can
think
past
how
we've
made
the
connection
between
great
employers
and
qualified
employees
right,
and
so
we
can
tie
those
two.
You
know
that
relationship
together
in
a
way
that
moves
us
forward.
So
I
hope
that
helps.
A
Thank
you,
assemblywoman
neil
other
questions
from
other
committee
members.
Before
I
do
that,
though,
I
think
I
need
to
clarify
something
under
senator
dennis's
questions.
There
was
a
comment
about
a
500
000.
Ongoing
cost.
Is
that
for
just
this
first
round,
and
will
you
be
coming
back
to
ifc
in
the
future
to
get
another
500
000
to
keep
this
program
going?
Where
are
we
in
the
continuum
on
that.
E
Okay
again
for
the
record
bob
potts,
it
is
a
500
once
the
sub
contracts
are
signed,
that's
when
it
begins
it's
12
months,
500
000
gets
us
through
this
recovery
period.
I
think
it's
an
amazing
tool
and
I've
got
a
lot
of
support
from
different
folks,
jaime
cruz,
a
lot
of
folks
out
there
that
are
going
to
incorporate
this
to
complement
their
existing
systems
that,
but
it
gives
us
a
year
to
get
through
this
process.
E
Hopefully
by
this
time
next
year
we
have
an
epic,
you
know
a
vaccine
that
has
great
efficacy
and
we're
kind
of
moving
past
this.
But
if
it
is
a
tool
that
really
adds
value
in
ways
that
we
that
are
unprecedented,
that
we've
not
had
before,
then
we
can
think
of
a
different
funding
mechanism.
It
may
come
to
ifc,
I
don't
you
know.
E
I
can't
see
the
future
that
far
off,
but
it
my
hope
is,
is
that
we
can
get
all
of
the
players
in
the
state
to
pitch
in
on
this
to
do
grants
to
throw
this
to
the
economic
development
agency
to
see
once
if
there's
different
ways.
If
we
decide
we
want
to
move
forward
with
this,
because
it
adds
such
value
and
an
ongoing,
then
we
can
do
that.
But
in
the
meantime
it
helps
get
us
through
this.
A
A
Okay,
thank
you
just
wanted
to
make
sure
we
had
it
clear
for
the
record.
Other
committee
members
other
questions
on
this
item.
Madam.
L
Yes,
I
believe
another
member
also
has
questions.
I
just
had
a
quick
one,
but
I
can
hold
on.
Q
All
right,
thank
you
and
appreciate
this.
I
think
it's
vital
and
it
directly
relates
to
getting
workers
back
to
getting.
You
know
nevadans
back
to
work,
so
I
appreciate.
J
Q
Connecticut,
kansas,
new
jersey,
tennessee
and
oklahoma
that
I've
researched
that
have
similar
workforce
database
programs.
Are
you
modeling
this
after
similar?
Are
they
using
the
same
software
that
we're
talking
to
the
contractor
on,
and
could
you
perhaps
direct
us
to
which
states
so
we
might
be
able
to
get
a
visual
preview
of
what
we
have
to
look
forward
to.
E
So
I'll
answer
the
last
question:
first
again,
bob
potts
I'll,
I
can
send
a,
I
can
send
a
link
to
everybody
and
you
can
play
with
it.
It's
an
amazing
user,
easy
to
use
interface.
I
think
this
is
how
it
works
right.
So,
on
the
front
end,
you've
got
a
worker,
that's
dislocated.
If
they
can
put
in
their
skills,
they
can
do
that.
They
can.
E
You
know
launder
this,
but
you
can
actually
scan
your
resume
in
and
it'll
pull
that
off
and
it'll
match
it
off
right
from
a
scanned
resume.
So
it
does
all
that
it's
fairly
new,
but
quite
honestly,
nevada
is
at
the
cutting
edge
on
this.
There
are,
I
think,
they've
deployed,
and
I
can't
give
you
the
exact
number,
but
I
think
they've
got
to
deploy
in
in
12
different
instances
most
of
it's
in
local
communities.
It's
not
a
statewide
application.
E
E
I
think
that
you
know:
nevada
has
been
in
the
lead
on
the
workforce,
development
side
of
things
and
really
trying
to
get
all
the
agencies
to
work
together
to
align
workforce
development
and
educations
to
the
jobs
of
the
future
and
where
the
future
of
work
is
going
to
stand
for
things
like
automation
and
things
like
that.
Okay,
what
this
does
is
this
takes
it
to
a
new
level,
because
it
lets
us
break
the
barrier
of
traditional
labor
market
data
and
actually
see
what's
what
real
people
real
businesses,
real
classrooms.
Q
I
think
you
would
certainly
hear
your
enthusiasm
and
that
answer-
if,
if
you
do
know-
and
it
sounds
like
you're
saying
that
this
is
groundbreaking-
that
it
won't
be
similar
to
the
other
programs
in-
let's
say,
arizona,
new
jersey,
you
know
kansas
oklahoma,
et
cetera,
but
I'd
be
just
interested
to
see
a
comparison
with.
Hopefully
we
are
groundbreaking
and
and
do
laps
around
other
states
and
others
follow
us.
It
would
be
wonderful.
My
second
question
would
just
have
to
do
with
do.
We
also
anticipate
that
that's
going
to
link
to.
Q
Is
there
going
to
be
any
kind
of
crossover
nexus
so,
for
example,
if
I'm
leaving
the
hospitality
industry-
and
I
want
to
go
into
and
there's
availability
in
jobs
as
a
certified
nursing
assistant,
but
I
need
an
eight-week
certification
program
to
get
there
and
I
need
some
scholarship
funding
to
help
pay,
for
that.
Will
this
also
be
incorporated
so
that
we
can
help
people
retrain
in
order
to
pla
place
them
in
a
new
career
pathway?.
E
So
assembly
owned
tools,
bob
potts,
so
getting
back
to
what
you
said
before
we
do
have.
The
tools
are
a
lot
of
the
existing
tools
that
we
have
are
very
similar
to
what
oklahoma
and
some
of
the
other
states
have.
Some
of
these
other
states
are
cutting
edge
too
tennessee,
for
instance,
is
using
information
like
this
as
well.
But,
yes,
what
it
will
do
to
your
second
question?
E
Is
it
actually
tells
them
what
the
real
gaps
are
and
what
they
need
to
do
to
get
there,
but
it's,
but
it
goes
deeper
than
just
talking
about.
How
do
you
tie?
You
know
an
industry
code
to
an
occupation
code
to
to
a
a
certified
instructional
program
code
right
it
talks
about,
what's
actually
being
taught
in
the
class
right
and
how
that
ties
back.
E
As
far
as
the
content
of
the
class
ties
to
the
content
of
what
employers
are
looking
for
ties
back
to
the
content
of
the
anatomy
of
the
person,
what
is
their
educational
experience?
What's
their
work
experience
right?
So
it's
more
of
a
holistic
comprehensive,
look
at
the
whole
pipeline
that
goes
beyond
just
you
know,
formal
diplomas
and
certificates
of
accomplishment.
So
again
it
really
complements
and
builds
on
what
we
have
with
the
added
utility
of
getting
people
back
to
work
right
away.
So
anyway,.
Q
D
Q
Want
it's
going
to
cost
me
a
thousand
dollars
and
because
I'm
unemployed,
I
don't
have
that
thousand
dollars
to
pay
for
that.
It
will
also
somehow
link
to
available
grant
scholarships
to
help
me
get
that
training
to
get
then
placed
into
a
new
industry.
E
So
this
is
bob
again,
so
it
doesn't
do
that
now,
but
but
again
as
we're
building
this
out
and
customizing
it
for
nevada.
Those
are
the
kind
of
things
that
we
can
ask
the
vendor
to
integrate
into
in
into
the
process
again.
This
is
something
that's
going
to
have
to
just
like
the
earlier
programs
we
talked
about.
E
You
add
this
layer
on
top
of
it,
but
then
you
can
have
a
holistic
picture
and
then
you
can
come
back
and
you
can
say
you
know
you
don't
have
the
money.
This
is
what
the
tuition
cost.
This
is
how
we
can
come
up
with
funding
instruments,
scholarships
or
whatever
there's
ways.
We
can
build
that
into
that
and
I'm
happy
to
have
those
conversations
to
make
it
cohesive
and
comprehensive.
L
Thank
you
so
much
so
just
wanted
to
to
see
from
the
user's
end
of
this.
What
will
it
look
like
for
them?
L
So,
let's
say
hypothetically
someone's
lost
their
job
at
a
a
big
box
chain
store
and
they
have
people
working
with
them
to
help
meet
their
basic
needs,
but
they're
they
are
still
job
searching,
so
would
it
kind
of
be,
would
it
be
direction
from
their
caseworker
or
from
community
workers
or
just
themselves
to
find
one
landing
spot
that
they
go
into
like
right
now,
we've
got
the
nevada
career
explorer
where
they
can
search
for
some
stuff
if
they're
lower
skilled
or
they
don't
have
that
post-secondary.
L
E
So
the
the
conversations
that
we're
having
right
now
and
I've
talked
to
all
of
those
groups
that
you've
mentioned
right
and
and
and
it
could
be
standalone
or
it
could
we're
going
to
integrate
it
into
career,
explorer
we're
going
to
integrate
it
in
to
employee
and
v
so
that,
if
they're
using
those
existing
tools,
you
know
it's
part
of
that.
You
know
that
interface,
but
it
could
be
standalone
too,
and
the
user
interface
is
so
intuitive
and
so
easy
to
work
with
that.
E
You
know
somebody
at
home
by
themselves
could
do
this,
and
I
think
it
would
give
a
clear
direction
and
a
better
understanding
of
the
world
they
live
in
and
what
the
opportunities
exist
for
them
and
it,
and
you
know
we
can
build
it
out
so
that
there's
links
on
you
know
nevada's
version
of
this.
It
would
be
customized
in
the
interface
for
the
state
right
to
say,
if
you're
interested
in
finding
out
about
scholarships
click
here,
you
know
those
kind
of
things
can
all
be
put
into
this
so
very
flexible.
E
L
I
think
that
does
I
think
that
right
now
is
we
have
people
who
are
job
seeking
and
we
have
people
who
are
you
know
helping
them.
So
many
of
the
folks
are
doing
it
just
kind
of
from
their
phone,
and
I
know
they've
talked
about
difficulty
in
trying
to,
for
example,
going
through
the
dieter
site
and
going
through
the
job
site
there,
and
I
think
they
have
to
do
a
unique
resume
upload
for
every
job.
L
It's
kind
of
like
a
site
that
refers
you
to
a
site
right,
and
so
I,
if
it's
something
that's
gonna,
help
folks
kind
of
get
to
one
landing
place
where
they
can
keep.
You
know
a
resume
and
it's
scanning
for
a
skill
set.
I
think
that
makes
it
easier
because
because
I
certainly
think
we
need
that
consolidation
that
makes
it
easier
on
the
front
end
as
well
as
the
back
end
to
consolidate
those
systems.
It
sounds
exciting.
E
So
if
I
could
throw
in
this
bob
potts
again
to
that
point,
that
was
a
deep
concern
of
mine
early
on
right.
I
went
when
I
first
talked
about
this
a
bit.
You
know
plowing
the
same
ground
twice
another
going
fellow,
so
much
crosstalk
going
on
and
disconnects
right
between
different
workforce
trainers
and
providers,
educators
right
and
using
this
as
a
tool
to
open
up
the
conversation
to
get
them
at
least
talking
together
and
get
everybody
kind
of
on
the
same
page.
A
A
And
so
I
just
have
one
final
question
and
and
senator
dennis
may
have
asked
us
and
I
might
have
missed
it,
but
I
always
hear
when
they
we
have
conversations
and
ways
and
means
about
the
programming
cost
and
the
time
can
you
tell
me
what
kind
of
time
frame
you're
looking
at
and
if
you
covered
this,
I
I
apologize,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
I
understood
we
know
the
annual
software
cost
now.
But
what
is
the
actual
time
frame
on
this.
E
Well,
I
think
we
could
get.
You
know
they're
again,
bob
pot,
sorry,
we
could
have
this
once
the
contracts
are
signed.
We
could
probably
have
this
up
and
running
by
the
middle
of
next
month
right
and
then
we
can
continue
to
build
out
the
rest
of
it
to
tie
in
to
employee
envy
to
have
it
tie
into
career
explorer.
Those
are
things
that
we
could
add
on,
but
we
could
actually
get
it
launched
by
the
middle
of
next
month.
I
believe.
A
Members
hearing
none,
I
would
go
ahead
and
open
it
up
to
the
committee.
L
A
From
senator
whitehouse,
thank
you
any
other
questions
or
comments
on
this.
J
D
R
D
D
D
C
D
D
D
J
A
P
Madam
chair
of
director
scolari
director
of
tourism
and
cultural.
A
A
Okay,
if
you
could
speak
up
just
a
bit.
P
Okay,
well,
our
request
for
coronavirus
relief
funding
is
in
response
to
the
the
effect
that
the
pandemic
has
had
on
our
tourism
funding.
To
give
you
some
context,
the
legislatively
approved
lodging
tax
revenue
related
to
marketing
for
the
division
of
tourism
was
just
over
15
million
dollars.
Our
projections,
now
due
to
closure
in
the
reduced
visitation,
is
just
over
4
million,
so
this
request
for
4.6
million
for
tourism
recovery
programs
would
effectively
double
our
ability
to
assist
our
rural
tourism
communities
with
their
own
tourism
recovery
efforts.
P
So
some
of
the
things
outlined
in
the
request
include
our
pandemic
related
revisions
to
travelnevada.com
and
our
visitors
guide.
Both
travelnevada.com
and
the
visitor
guide
are
kind
of
the
center
of
our
visitation
universe,
in
that
the
majority
of
visitors
will
refer
to
either
one
of
them
in
regard
to
their
trip
planning
and
we've
had
to
do
extensive
revisions
in
terms
of
letting
educating
them
about.
You
know,
what's
open
or
what
health
measures
have
been
undertaken.
P
You
know
what
they
can
expect
in
regard
to
their
experiences
in
nevada,
so
the
the
website,
the
visitor's
guide,
where
have
undertaken
a
campaign,
called
discover
your
nevada,
because
all
of
our
intelligence
related
to
travelers
sentiment
indicates
that
there's
a
very
low
comfort
level
in
terms
of
traveling
via
plane
and
people's
you
know.
Kind
of
radius
of
comfort
is
relatively
small,
so
we
want
to
encourage
people
to
explore
their
own
communities
and
we
hope
to
stimulate
the
economy
by
encouraging
nevadans
to
explore
nevada.
P
So
we
have
extensive
plans
and
a
campaign
to
assist
them
to
do
so.
We
have
already
in
place
10
branded
road
trips,
but
have
a
specific
discovery
of
nevada
related
components
to
that
we
have
built
a
discovery-
your
nevada
web
page,
which
will
feature
various
communities
and,
what's
available
there,
you
know
all
of
their
visitor
assets
and
and
what
funds
can
expect
in
regard
to
locals
and
resident
deals
and
packages.
P
This
would
be
a
version
of
it
in
which
we
have
revised
the
guidelines
to
express
all
of
the.
You
know
necessary
components
that
the
treasury
has
set
in
place
and
within
this
very
compressed
period
of
time,
so
they
would
have
to
execute
their
marketing
programs
prior
to
december
30th,
but
would
be
their
their
own.
Regional
and
community
specific
tourism
recovery
marketing
efforts.
They
could
either
co-op
with
travel
nevada
in
regard
to
the
greater
statewide
discovery
or
nevada
campaign,
or
they
could
demonstrate
their
their
own
marketing
recovery
efforts.
P
So
you
know
tourism
is
still
such
a
vital
part
of
rural
tourism
economies,
and
each
of
these
programs
outlined
within
this
request
is
a
way
to
assist,
assist
them
and
and
have
our
travel
nevadas.
That
is,
as.
A
A
Okay,
thank
you
for
your
questions.
Yes,
thank
you.
So
I
guess
my
first
question
would
be:
how
was
the
1.5
million
dollars
decided
on
for
the
discovery
of
nevada
campaign?
Was
that
based
on
previous
type
budgets
or
what
was
the
the
plan
around?
That.
A
P
D
Hi,
this
is
emmy
caltech,
deputy
director
of
tourism,
for
the
record
sure
we
did
start
at
the
300
000
level
and
based
on
some
quotes
and
proposals
that
I
received
for
other
media
buys
I
expanded
on
that
to
kind
of
do
a
phased
approach
and
also
baseline,
mid-reach
and
higher
each
levels
so
that
we
can
get
into
other
things
and
kind
of
just
reach
more
people,
particularly
for
broadcast
digital
and
some
other
components.
A
D
This
is
to
reach
people
in
nevada,
so
a
lot
of
these
buys
are
in
nevada,
but
of
course
we
have
to
be
where
the
visitors
are.
So,
if
we're
working
with
an
ota
or
we're
working
with
anybody
else
that
we
have
traditionally
worked
for
worked
with
like
a
website,
then
we
are
going
back
to
them,
but
this
isn't
something
we
do.
We
do.
L
D
Buying
company
under
agents,
our
agency,
a
record
already,
is
contracted
for
that
and
then
I'm
doing
direct
buys
on
my
own
okay,
all
righty.
Thank
you.
A
So
if
you
could
expand
and
explain
upon
how
this
is
different
than
the
rural
grants
program,
the
expenditure
that
we
approved
in
2019
2019,
the
2019
legislature,.
P
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
It
is
the
same
amount,
but
it
is
a
very
different
program
in
that
the
requirements
and
the
guidelines
will
have
to
be
met
in
accordance
with
the
coronal
virus
relief
funding
guide
rails,
so
they
will
have
to
comply.
The
same
way.
P
Travel
nevada
would,
which
is
this
will
only
be
marketing
in
regard
to
direct
covered
response,
so
they
will
have
to
be
telling
the
world.
You
know
that
they're
they're
open
they're
safe.
They
will
you
know
our
a
real
goal
here
is
to
encourage
responsible,
travel
and
safe
memorable
experiences
and
we'll
expect
our
tours
and
partners
to
do
the
same.
P
Also,
this
we
would
expect
them
to
submit
application
for
programs
that
weren't
in
prior
budgets,
so
this
isn't
business
as
usual.
This
really
is
in
regard
to
marketing
and
covid
related
restart.
P
It
it
is
also
a
as
our
historic
marketing
program
is
a
reimbursement
process,
though
any
of
the
expenditures
committed
would
have
to
meet
our
covid
requirements.
A
And
if
you
could
explain
how
you're
going
to
portion
off
the
cost
for
staff
on
the
position
costs,
will
they
be
split?
How
will
you
handle
that.
P
P
You
know
we
within
the
division
of
tourism
really
were
hit
hard
and
had
a
number
of
layoffs
and
really
don't
have
the
budget
that
we
can.
You
know,
give
the
work
like
this
to
outside
consultants,
we're
doing
the
majority
of
this
work
in-house
and
so
that
payroll
will
assist
in
in
getting
this
work
done
effectively.
A
A
A
D
D
D
C
D
K
D
D
D
J
A
J
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
chair.
Yes,
we
will
move
on
to
agenda
item
number
six,
which
is
the
department
of
health
and
human
services,
public
and
behavioral
health
health
care
regulation,
and
could
we
have
the
appropriate
spokesperson?
J
Please
come
on
and
give
us
a
short
brief
explanation
of
this
item
and
then
we'll
take
questions.
S
Good
morning,
margot
chapel
for
the
record
excuse
my
technical
difficulties
in
getting
that
unmuted
and
awesome
video,
I'm
a
deputy
administrator
for
the
division
of
public
and
behavioral
health,
and
we
are
seeking
approval
requesting
work
program,
c52880bo,
approved
and
processed
as
a
15
day
work
program
due
to
the
urgent
need
to
hire
a
management
service
company
on
august
21st,
the
division
of
public
and
behavioral
health
suspended
the
license
of
a
residential
facility
for
groups
in
reno
due
to
unsafe
conditions.
S
I
could
give
you
some
possible
details
on
that,
but
we
contacted
the
quality
healthcare
asset
management
to
assist
with
the
temporary
management,
the
facility
and
relocation
of
its
residents
on
august
27th,
our
division
received
approval
to
proceed
with
an
emergency
contract.
With
that
same
company,
initial
costs
can
be
paid
for
by
our
health
care
facilities.
Admin
penalty
budget,
which
is
budget
account
3217.
S
The
balance
of
the
cost
will
need
to
be
paid
out
of
the
regulation
budget
account
of
3216..
This
work
program
is
requesting
to
move
funds
from
the
reserve
category
to
a
newly
established
category.
For
this
purpose,
it
is
the
intention
of
the
division
to
have
the
licensee
reimburse
budget
accounts,
3216
and
3217
for
costing
occur
incurred.
S
But
in
the
meantime,
dpbh
does
need
to
pay
the
the
management
company.
J
Thank
you
very
much.
We're
going
to
go
to
assembly
first.
D
S
I
not
sure
I
can
respond
to
that
directly
in
terms
of
the
likelihood
of
them
paying,
but
we
do
have
mechanisms
to
collect
that
money
back
through
legal
action
and
the
controller's
office.
We
also
understand
that
it's
possible
that
this
building
there,
the
facility
has
decided
to
close
and
the
property
will
be
for
sale,
and
so
one
of
the
options
may
be
to
put
a
lien
on
the
property
if
we
do
not
get
repaid.
D
Okay,
thank
you
and
then
the
other
one
was
of
the
residents.
How
many
of
those
have
already
been
successfully
placed.
S
When
we
first
went
into
the
facility
there
were
80
residents
and
last
I
knew
there
were
58
remaining
and
the
county
and
the
ombudsman's
office
and
our
team
are
working
and
the
and
the
management
team
are
working
to
find
placements
for
the
others,
hoping
to
have
that
done
by
the
middle
of
october.
L
Thank
you
so
much,
and
I
want
to
say
if
I
am
correct,
I
think,
is
this:
the
the
first
time
that
we
have
used
this
snack,
where
the
state
comes
in,
finds
a
serious
deficiency
within
a
facility
and
then
puts
in
a
temporary
management
company
in
place.
It
feels
like
it's
the
first
time.
S
I
apologize
sorry,
I
didn't
mean
to
interrupt
you
margot
chapel,
for
the
record.
This
is
actually
the
second
time
on
record
that
we've
used
this
particular
management
company.
The
first
time
was
in
2016.
S
and
they
assisted
us
with
closing
down
another
facility.
Prior
to
that,
we
cannot
find
history
that
this
mechanism
has
been
used
here
before.
S
L
I
just
this.
I
think
this
is
really
good,
because
it
it
shows
that
I
think
that
in
the
past,
when
there
were
concerns
about
a
facility
and
the
ability
for
the
state
to
go
in
and
protect
those
residents
and
to
kind
of
address
the
deficiencies
with
business,
you
know
we
have.
We
have
kind
of
an
audit
trail
that
tells
us
that
that's
been
difficult
for
us
with
some
of
these
facilities.
L
So
I'm
just
really
glad
that
when
we,
when
we
started
to
hear
in
the
community
that
there
were
problems
and
then
saw
the
state
come
in-
and
I
mean
that
that
you-
although
it
was
it-
was
troubling,
it
was
real-
really
reassuring
to
kind
of
see
this
process
work
out
and
work
right,
that
we
had
that
temporary
management
program
go
in
and
you
knew
that
the
residents
were
going
to
be
safe.
I
mean,
ultimately,
it
is
really
hard,
because
these
are
the
the
poorest
of
the
poor
who
live
at
that
facility.
L
Most
of
them.
I
believe
the
facility
had
started
accepting
the
home
and
community
waiver
service
grants,
so
you
have
a
lot
of
people
who
cannot
afford
to
live
anywhere
else
and
who
could
be
very
easily
exploited,
so
it
feel
I
know
it
will
be
hard
to
place
those
68
folks
who
are
left.
We
just
don't
have
the
type
of
housing,
red
housing
available
or
group
homes
available,
but
it
this
to
me
just
shows
a
system.
That's
that's
actually
working
that
we're
doing
right
by
the
these
very
vulnerable,
this
very
vulnerable
population.
L
H
You
I
have
a
question
man
vice
chair,
if
possible.
Yes,
please
go
ahead.
Thank
you,
my
my
question
resolves
around
what
the
state
is
already
obligated
to
inspect
this
facility.
Is
it
not
correct?
So
when
was
the.
H
Right
so
I'm
curious
about
the
process
here.
This
happened
apparently
after
a
complaint
and
and
took
over
on
august
17th.
What
was
the
last
inspection
time
prior
to
that?
In
other
words,
was
this
suddenly
something
they
weren't
capable
of
doing
any
longer
when
had
they
been
inspected?
Was
the
state
not
going
in?
There
is
the
state
behind
on
inspections,
and
it
took
somebody
complaining
to
get
action.
S
Thank
you
very
much.
I
can
give
you
a
very
comprehensive
schedule,
and
actually
your
staff
also
has
your
fiscal
staff
has
a
schedule
of
when
they
were
inspected
and
what
the
findings
were
as
well,
but,
just
very
briefly,
they
have
been
cited.
They
were
cited
seven
different
times
in
2019
and
they
have
been
visited
and
cited
another
six
or
seven
times
in
just
the
calendar
year.
2020
the
the
issues
continued.
S
S
Actually,
no
that,
what's
what
is,
I
can
give
you
the
specific
dates.
On
march
27th
we
had
inspectors
go
in
for
a
periodic
inspection
and
a
complaint
inspection
which
was
substantiated
in
may
of
2020.
There
was
a
complaint
which
was
substantiated
and
there
were
three
citations.
S
In
july
there
was
a
grading
resurvey
and
there
were
two
low-level
repeat
citations
based
on
early
march
on
the
10th
of
july.
Another
complaint
investigation
was
was
was
done
and
it
was
substantiated
with
the
number
of
low-level
citations
on
august
13th.
There
was
another
complaint
inspection
that
occurred.
It
was
substantiated
with
an
immediate
jeopardy
and
numerous
high-level
citations.
S
H
It
sounds
like
that.
Certainly
there's
been
some
awareness
and
you're
doing
a
good
job,
keeping
nevada
and
safe.
Absolutely
this
is
difficult
times,
and
then
it
was
an
accumulation
of
all
of
these
and
finally,
it
was
a
real
true
safety
for
for
these
residents.
I
know
it's
hard
and
still
finding
places
for
these
folks
and
so
you're
caught
kinda
in
that
quandary,
and
I
appreciate
all
you've
done-
is
there's
something
else
in
retrospect
you
could
have
done
sooner.
H
You
know
warning
after
warning,
after
warning,
after
warning
and
suddenly
you
know
have
to
just
ultimately
make
that
decision
to
close
the
facility-
and
I
know
that's
difficult
because
we
lack
facilities.
So
again,
I
appreciate
what
you're
trying
to
do
just
want
to
make
sure
you
know
and
retrospectively.
We
haven't
caused
harm
or
damage
to
residents
when
we
knew
that
maybe
there
was
a
problem.
S
P
S
End
just
before
this
action
was
taken,
the
provider
was
given
the
opportunity
to
come
into
compliance
and
did
not
hope
that
answers
your
question.
Thank
you.
H
I
Thank
you
madame,
so
I
just
had
a
quick
question
around
the
ombudsman
is
since,
since
the
findings
is
it
also
a
part
of
the
ombudsman
to
try
to
connect
the
families
or
their
advocate
with
some
kind
of
legal
services?
Not
not
so
they
can
deal
with
some
of
the
issues
or
abuses
that
they
went
through.
S
I'm
margo
chapel
for
the
record.
I
can't
talk
on
behalf
of
the
ombudsman's
office
as
I'm
not
a
part
of
their
office.
Somebody
from
their
office
would
need
to
answer
that
question.
I
apologize.
S
S
J
J
D
D
D
D
C
Assemblywoman
is
suddenly
woman,
monk.
D
D
D
D
D

J
J
Thank
you
very
much,
and
I
see
that
chair
carlton
is
back
so
we'll
turn
the
agenda
vector
will
go
on
to
d7.
Thank.
A
You
very
much
senator
woodhouse.
I
appreciate
your
assistance
on
that,
so
we'll
go
ahead
and
proceed
with
item
number
d7
the
I
mean
the
immunization
program
discussion
if
we
could
go
ahead
and
have
our
folks
that
will
be
presenting
cuda
if
they
could
give
us
a
brief
overview
on
this,
and
we
can
ask
our
couple
of
questions
that
we
have.
Thank
you
very
much.
O
Good
morning
for
the
record,
I
am
candice
mcdaniel,
the
chief
for
our
bureau
of
child
family
and
community
wellness
and
I'm
joined
by
shannon
bennett.
The
manager
of
the
nevada's
immunization
program
in
front
of
you
today
is
a
work
program
requesting
funds
slightly
over
1.8
million
to
support
our
immunization
program,
and
these
are
new
funds
from
the
centers
for
disease
control
and
prevention
to
support
nevada's,
statewide
planning
and
distribution
efforts
around
the
code
19
vaccine.
O
These
funds
must
be
expended
by
june
30th
of
2021..
With
these
funds,
each
state
must
develop
a
coven
19
vaccine
response
plan
following
the
cdc
guideline
guidance.
Ultimately,
the
cdc
needs
to
provide
the
plan
needs
to
be
provided,
planned
and
approved
before
it
can
be
considered
a
formal
document.
O
The
plans
are
due
to
the
cdc
no
later
than
october,
16th
cdc's
advisory
committee
on
immunization
practices
or
asip.
The
national
institutes
of
health,
the
national
academies
of
sciences,
engineering
and
medicine
are
working
at
the
federal
level
to
determine
populations
of
focus
and
ensure
equitable
access
for
the
first
doses
of
the
covid19
vaccine
that
become
available.
L
O
That
order
is
transmitted
to
the
centralized
distributor
in
aurora
colorado
and
then,
which
is
responsible
for
filling
the
orders
and
shipping
the
vaccine
through
later
phases.
More
vaccination
providers
will
be
brought
on
into
going
to
enrolling
enrollments
to
ensure
administration
capacity
for
all
nevadans,
and
that
truly
just
means
that
we
want
to
ensure
that
there
are
enough
providers
with
enough
vaccine,
storage
and
administration
capacity
to
reach
every
nevadan,
and
I
thought
I'd
be
happy
to
accept
some
questions.
O
A
So
if
you
could
elaborate
a
bit
on
the
communication
strategy,
I
think
it's
going
to
be
very
important
for
the
public
to
understand
how
this
is
going
to
work.
There
are
already
questions
out
there
and
there's
so
much
misinformation.
If
you
could
elaborate
on
that
for
us,
please.
O
Thank
you,
candace
mcdaniel,
for
the
record,
so
we
are
very
much
working
through
a
collaborative
effort
with
our
coalition
immunized
nevada
to
really
work
on
that
messaging
and
to
ensure
that
also
all
of
our
partners
in
the
community
as
well
are
very
well
informed
and
we
can
be
able
to
really
surprise,
provide
that
support
and
even
really
standard
approach
to
what
that
communication
looks
like
so
now,
if
shannon
bennett
has
any
other
input
to
provide
on
that.
A
Well,
thank
you
very
much
and
I
wouldn't
want
to
speak
for
the
whole
committee
or
the
whole
legislature,
but
we
all
have
our
ways
of
reaching
out
to
folks.
So
I
would
be
more
than
happy
that
when
we
have
vital
information
to
get
to
folks,
I
I
think
those
of
us
that
serve
can
help
with
that
communication.
Also,
the
more
they
hear
it
from
different
places.
I
believe
more,
the
more
comfortable
folks
will
be
so
consider
us
a
resource.
Also.
A
We
want
to
make
sure
everybody
knows
what's
going
on
so
with
that,
as
all
with
a
lot
of
these
items
I'll
go
to
dr
titus
first.
H
Thank
you,
madam
care.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
ask
a
question.
I
have
a
couple
concerns
and
first
I
want
to
actually
say
a
thank
you
to
our
governor,
who
listed
and
allowed
mention
of
vaccination
administration
by
pharmacy
techs
with
the
proper
training,
because
I
think
again
the
access
to
these
vaccines
are
critical.
So
I
think
that
was
a
good
first
step.
I
have
some
concerns
about
this.
H
However,
in
that
we
already
know
that
nevada
ranks,
I
think
close
to
the
bottom
on
flu
vaccines,
and
so
how
will
this
be
more
successful,
getting
this
vaccine
out
than
the
flu
vaccine
and
is
there
any
thought
that
I
know
this
is
karex
money?
I
know
this
has
to
go
to
the
corona
pandemic,
but
can
we
pair
it
with
also
making
sure
that
we
encourage
folks
to
get
their
flu
vaccine?
So
that's
my
first
question.
O
Thank
you,
dr
titus
candice
mcdaniel
for
the
record
and
just
one
aspect
to
this.
This
is
actually
an
allocation
from
the
cdc
and
not
cares
funding,
but
we
very
much
recognize
that
this
flu
vaccine,
and
particularly
in
this
time
period,
is
incredibly
important,
and
so
some
of
the
messaging
and
and
conversations
we're
having
with
a
lot
of
our
partners
is
to
truly.
We
want
to
push
and
make
sure
that
if
you
can,
please
get
your
your
flu
vaccine
by
nevada
day.
O
That's
truly
our
goal
and
something
that
we
feel
really
really
strongly
about,
and
I
think
that
with
you
really
want
to
come
from
the
place
of
planning
and
so
making
sure
that
our
job
really
is
to
make
sure
and
look
at
any
barriers
to
access
are
addressed.
And
so
a
lot
of
this
planning
really
does
address
those
things
and
trying
to
collaborate
with
as
many
interested
parties
as
possible.
O
I
will
say
that
we
we
are
kind
of
using
this
pandemic
flu
approach
and
so
very
much
utilizing
the
flu
vaccine
and
then
moving
and
pivoting
to
the
covered
vaccine
so,
and
we
do
share
that.
You
know
that
concern
with
a
very
low
blue,
especially
the
adult
flu
rate,
so
definitely
something
that
we
are
continuously
trying
to
work
with
with
our
with
our
partners.
H
Great
for
thank
you
for
that,
and
my
next
question
is
under
the
list
of
the
work
program,
one
of
the
things
the
criteria
you're
going
to
identify
specific
groups
such
as
frontline
healthcare
workers
that
should
receive
the
vaccine
first
and
then
second
and
third,
and
there's
already
a
tiered
program
out
for
vaccine
administration
and
and
crisis
intervention.
And
who
gets
these
vaccines.
And
you
know
one
I
don't
see
on
here-
the
most
vulnerables.
H
So
one
of
the
priorities,
when
you
have
a
limited
vaccine,
we
would
want
to
make
sure
we
identify
the
most
vulnerable
and
I
understand
certainly
frontline
workers.
You
want
to
protect
them
because
they're
exposed
almost
daily
to
this,
but
then
there's
such
a
fear,
and
especially
the
unknown
in
our
communities-
and
we
know
now,
through
the
rate
of
who's
infected,
who
dies
from
this
virus.
Who
are
the
people
at
most
risk?
H
And
so
I
would
want
to
make
sure
that
those
folks
would
be
at
the
you
know
after
the
frontline
workers,
the
healthcare
workers
which
have
always
been
with
all
of
these
vaccines,
a
priority
to
get
this,
our
military,
the
frontline
workers
etc,
but
make
sure
that
you
emphasize,
if
you
haven't
already,
but
I
didn't
see
it
mentioned
the
most
vulnerable
population
that
we've
already
identified.
O
Thank
you,
dr
titus,
for
for
the
question
and
the
cdc
did
actually
publish
just
last
week,
a
playbook
in
terms
of
code
by
covid19
vaccine,
and
so
there
is
a
critical
population
aspect
to
that
to
that
playbook,
and
so
actually
every
state
is
using
this
playbook
to
prepare
their
plans.
And
so
I
think
we
have
find
some
comfort
in
knowing
that
cdc
does
recognize
these
vulnerable
populations,
and
so
we
really
are.
O
Our
goal
is
to
do
our
best
to
really
look
at
all
nevadans
and
then
and
then
what
approach
we
need
to
take
to
do
these
things
so
absolutely
understand
your
concern
and
agree.
H
And
my
final
question,
madam
chair,
if
that's
all
right
sure,
go
ahead,
dr
titus,
thank
you.
One
of
the
difficulties
that
I
see,
and
I
s-
nurses,
that
I
have
and
people
who
give
these
vaccines
is
accessing
web.
I
z
there
has
been
in
the
past
sometimes
limited
access
to,
and
one
of
the
things
we
want
to
make
sure
is
that
all
of
these
are
rapidly
put
into
web
disease.
So
we
know
who
got
the
vaccine
who
didn't
and,
and
so
when
somebody
shows
up
again
to
get
it
or
whatever
we
can
quickly
identify.
H
So
so
are
you
expanding
the
web
ic
access
to
not
just
the
people
who
administer
it,
but
tax
and
those
type
of
folks
or
is
it
have
we
worked
out
all
the
bugs
on
y
z,.
O
O
So
especially
when
we're
looking
at
those
points
of
dispersing
out
in
areas
where
there
may
not
be
great
internet
access,
we
have
also
included
some
ipad
tablets
so
to
pair
with
this,
this,
this
module,
so
that
the
data
can
be
input,
no
matter
the
sort
of
where
the
service
is
at
and
that's
in
that
certain
area
and
then,
as
soon
as
you
have
internet
access,
it
can
be
uploaded
to
the
system.
H
A
I
appreciate
this
item
coming
forward.
It
is
better
to
be
prepared,
no
matter
when
the
vaccine
show
up
shows
up.
We
just
need
to
be
ready
for
it
so
and
glad
to
hear
that
there's
going
to
be
a
push
for
the
flu
vaccine
also,
we
want
to
make
sure
folks
get
get
their
flu
shots,
especially
this
year.
A
D
D
D
D
D
D
D
J
A
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
compotic.
We
appreciate
that.
That
concludes
our
business
under
item
number
d.
We
do
have
some
surprise
business
today
that
was
not
agendized,
so
miss
jones
hold
on
to
your
chair
today.
I
would
like
to
read
into
the
record
a
resolution
that
the
ifc
committee
is
doing
to
thank
miss
jones
for
all
of
her
wonderful
work
that
she
has
done.
A
So
while
we
are
preparing
we'll
do
our
two-minute
transition
to
public
comment
and
during
that
time
I'm
going
to
read
this
into
the
record
and
then,
if
other
members
would
like
to
make
comments,
I
will
open
it
up
to
other
comments.
A
And
whereas
suny's
legislative
service
has
included
four
regular
sessions
and
six
special
sessions
serving
two
ways
and
means
chairs
over
the
period
of
time.
And
whereas
cindy's
service
has
included
numerous
ifc
committee
meetings
and
during
the
2019-2020
interim
date,
cindy
served
as
primary
staff
for
18
ifc
meetings.
10
more
meetings
that
would
normally
have
occurred
during
this
period
of
time.
And
whereas
cindy's
work,
ethic
and
dedication
to
the
state
of
nevada
has
been
unwavering
during
her
30
years
of
service.
A
And
whereas
cindy
has
served
as
an
inspiration
and
role
model
to
new
and
seasoned
analysts
alike
and
is
known
to
be
kind
and
caring
towards
her
staff.
Always
thinking
about
their
welfare
and
well-being,
often
sometimes
before
herself,
and
whereas
cindy
has
always
made
sure
that
people
around
her
were
well
fed
with
an
overflowing
candy
dish
in
her
office
and.
A
A
Whereas
cindy
is
a
caring,
supportive
and
knowledgeable
leader
with
a
big
and
warm
smile
whose
presence
will
be
sorely
missed
now
and
therefore
be
it
resolved
by
the
interim
finance
committee
of
the
state
of
nevada
that
the
members
of
the
committee
do
hereby
commend
city
jones
for
her
lifetime
of
dedicated
service
to
the
state
of
nevada
and
express
our
best
wishes
for
a
wonderful
and
well-deserved
retirement
and
be
it
further
resolved
that
the
secretary
of
the
interim
finance
committee
prepare
and
transmit
a
copy
of
this
resolution
to
miss
cindy
jones
cindy.
Thank
you
very.
B
A
So
with
that,
I'd
be
happy
to
open
it
up
to
other
members
to
make
comments.
Madam
chair.
J
Senator
woodhouse,
thank
you
very
much,
madam
chair,
ms
jones.
I
would
like
to
extend
to
you
my
most
sincere
thanks
and
appreciation
for
your
work
and
your
support.
These
mini
meetings
and
legislative
sessions.
You
are
truly
a
hero
and
someone
that
we
can
always
count
upon
retirement
is
often
bittersweet
and
we
will
miss
you.
I
will
miss
you,
but
we
wish
you
the
happiest
retirement
ever
so.
Thank
you.
Cindy.
M
M
M
It
is
not
lost
on
me
how
important
it
is
for
folks
that
have
put
in
so
much
time
and
sacrifice
so
much
for
our
state
that
you
know
it
that
it
was
not
all
for
naught
and
while
I
don't
know
that
we
have
earned
the
service
that
ms
jones
has
provided
us
that
we
certainly
don't
frequently
deserve
it.
M
We
have
hugely
benefited
from
from
her
work
and
her
service
and
her
friendship,
and
so
it's
it's
impossible
for
us
to
put
in
this
kind
of
time
and
be
in
it
together,
making
the
tough
decisions
that
we
have
to
make
without
you
know
developing
a
friendship
as
well.
So
I
appreciate
your
service
and
your
love
for
the
state
and
for
your
friendship,
just
know,
no
matter
what
that
we
all
do
this
to
to
make
it
better
than
we
found
it
and
leave
a
little
bit
of
ourselves.
M
You
know
on
the
field
for
the
next
person
to
pick
up
you've
done
right
by
us
and
you
set
us
up
with
a
wonderful
replacement
that
you
helped
prepare,
and
I
I
think
that
is
all
a
reflection
of
of
your
love
for
this
institution
and
for
the
state.
M
I
look
forward
to
staying
in
touch
we'll,
certainly
miss
you
in
the
legislative
process,
but
you've
done
so
right
by
the
state,
and
we
will
certainly
carry
the
lessons
learned
from
you
on
and
teaching
not
only
the
new
staff
but
new
legislators
who
need
examples
like
you
of
how
to
do
this
job.
So
thank
you.
Congratulations
and
we'll.
Certainly
it's
gonna
be
hard
for
you
to
get
away
from
me.
So
I'll
find
you.
L
I
want
to
thank
mrs
jones
so
much
for
the
past
five
years
of
help
that
that
I've
received
from
you
sitting
on
this
committee,
and
I
think
some
of
that
help
is
the
help
just
to
get
up
to
speed
as
a
new
member
and
the
comfort
level
that
you
created,
so
that
I
had
a
place
to
ask
the
most
silly
questions
or
to
help
me
understand
formulas,
to
help
me
understand
acronyms,
because
state
budgeting
is
so
difficult
and
tricky
and
you
always
created
a
safe
space
where
questions
could
be
asked
and
that's
where
learning
really
happens.
L
So
I
think
of
you
in
so
many
ways
as
a
teacher,
because
I
learned
so
much
from
you.
I
also
think
it's
important,
because
I
know
that
we
see
it,
but
I
know
oftentimes,
the
public
doesn't
the
amount
of
work
and
hours.
L
I
am
grateful
for
public
servants
like
you
who
are
committed
to
the
state.
I
hope
we
have
more
that
are
coming.
That
can
be
as
amazing
as
you
have
been,
and
I
thank
you
for
being
a
wonderful
person.
I
thank
you
for
those
conversations
about
cancun.
I
thank
you
for
the
conversations
in
the
the
down
time
where
we
can
just
chat,
and
I
appreciate
that
you
as
a
friend
and
the
friendship
that
we
have.
H
Well,
mrs
jones,
it
has
been
a
true
pleasure
and-
and
I
share
and
echo
many
of
the
comments
of
my
fellow
legislators
with
the
friendship
and
your
true
love
and
passion
for
nevada
having
the
rural
roots
like
I
do.
You
recognize
the
whole
state
and
it's
so
important.
H
One
of
the
things
that
struck
home
for
me
and
that
proclamation
that
was
so
beautifully
written
is
the
word
trust,
and
I
I
really
think
that
is
something
that
I
will
remember
about
you
forever.
H
We
all
trusted
trust
of
what
you
said
was
what
you
knew
at
the
time
numbers
changed,
more
information
comes
in
and
we
always
knew
the
numbers
might
change,
but
we
knew
that
when
you
shared
something
with
us
or
we
asked
you
a
question
that
we
could
trust
your
response
and-
and
I
think
that
goes
so
far
in
the
world-
that
we
live
in-
where
there's
not
a
lot
of
that
sometimes
so.
Thank
you
from
an
old
nevadan
to
another.
Thank
you
for
being
there
for
our
great
state.
H
We
will
miss
you,
but
we
will
remember
you
and
and
again
that
friendship
goes
a
long
way
and
that
trust
is
just
is
unbelievable.
So
thank
you
very
much
cindy
and
have
that
great
great
retirement.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
cindy.
I
think
we
started
working
together
back
when
you
were
the
head
of
the
employment
security
division,
and
it
just
strikes
me
that
I've
been
I've
been
asking
you
for
stuff
ever
since
right.
D
It
seems
like
every
time
I
call
you
I'm
asking
for
something,
I'm
asking
for
help,
I'm
asking
for
more
information,
I'm
asking
for
a
better
understanding
of
something
that
you
know
more
about
than
I
do
and
you've
always
been
very
gracious
in
sharing
your
knowledge
and
helping
me
do
my
job,
and
I
just
I
can't
say
thank
you
enough,
because
it
is
ultimately
the
work
that
you've
done.
That
allows
us
to
do
what
we
do
and
then,
and
in
your
time,
through
all
those
different
spots
that
you've
been
in
through
with
the
state.
D
You've
made
nevada
a
better
place,
and
I
hope
that
that
is
satisfying
to
you.
That's,
I
think
what
we're
striving
for
here
and
you've
done
it,
and
we
appreciate
it
so
we're
gonna
miss
you
a
ton.
Thank
you
for
everything,
and
hopefully
I
can
start
giving
something
back
thanks.
A
I
have
no
other
members
listed
in
the
queue
right
now
is
anyone
else
wishing
to
state
anything
at
the
moment.
I
So
cindy,
thank
you
for
your
patience
with
me
and
I
came
on
the
committee
as
always
tenacious,
but
it
takes
a
teacher
to
be
able
to
convey
information
to
another
person
and
have
them
get
it
in
fullness,
and
so
you
you
were
that
for
me
and
I
really
appreciated
the
level
of
intelligence
like
and
and
it's
the
team
of
women.
You
and
sarah
were
awesome,
but
you
know
it
was
it
was.
It
was
a
new
committee
for
me
and
you
have
taken
all
of
my
questions.
I
I
30
years
is
a
long
time,
but
you
deserve
to
like
bask
in
the
sun
and
chill
for
a
while.
Don't
come
back,
don't
don't
come
back,
don't
don't
feel
guilt,
stay
free.
D
Q
Brief
my
first
session
on
waste
and
means
was
the
last
session,
but
I
echo
the
sentiments
of
my
colleagues.
I
mean
the
time
that
you
took
that
I
know
was
sacred
to
you.
You
spent
as
much
time
as
I
needed
making
sure
I
fully
understood
the
budget
and
meeting.
Q
J
R
Hi
miss
jones.
I
just
want
to
tell
you
thank
you
as
a
new
legislator
coming
into
the
building,
even
when
I
wasn't
assigned
to
ways
and
means-
and
I
had
fiscal
questions.
R
My
during
my
first
session,
you
were
there,
but
once
I
was
assigned
to
ways
and
means
you
went
out
of
your
way
to
make
sure
that
all
my
questions
were
answered,
and
that
means
some
days
coming
in
early
before
session
started
staying
late
at
night
to
answer
questions
and
even
making
special
trips
when
we
come
up
on
a
weekend-
and
you
would
make
time
to
sit
down
with
my
fellow
freshmen
ways
and
means
legislator.
R
Trust,
as
assemblywoman
titus
said,
is
truly
how
I
think
the
legislative
body
feels
about
you.
It's
definitely
how
I
feel
you
it's
hard
to
find
people
that
you
know
whatever
they
say
it's
not
coming
from
any
partisan
anything.
It's
just
the
truth,
and
I
trusted
you
with
that.
Thank
you
for
being
a
wonderful
teacher,
a
wonderful
example
of
of
statesmanship
in
the
building
and
enjoy
your
retirement.
C
Thank
you
I'll,
be
quick
cindy.
Thank
you
so
much.
I
remember
your
first
ifc
meeting
wondering
right.
Maybe
you
were
wondering
perhaps
what
you've
gotten
yourself
into,
and
you
have
far
exceeded
anything
that
that
perhaps
you
even
thought
you
could
do,
and
so
thank
you
for
all
your
great
work.
You've
been
such
a
great
help
ian
throughout
at
least
my
my
involvement
with
you
from
the
day
you
came
and
and
practicing
before,
then
so,
thank
you
and
hope
you
have
a
great
retirement.
C
A
Mr
mr
wheeler.
C
Hey
thank
you,
madam
chair
cindy.
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
everything
you
did
for
us,
showing
me
the
way,
showing
my
caucus.
The
way
I
wanted
to
tell
you
that
you
are
a
gem
in
douglas
and
you
made
douglas
high
school
very
proud
and
you
and
are
very
proud,
and
I
hope
you
really
enjoy
your
retirement.
Please.
C
D
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I'll,
be
one
of
my
lengthy
speeches.
Thank
you
cindy
for
everything
and
most
of
all,
your
patience,
it's
been
a
long
run,
enjoy.
D
C
D
D
Q
Q
A
Hearing
none
then
I'll
go
ahead
and
take
the
chair's
prerogative
and
wrap
this
up.
A
So
I
first
met
cindy
just
over
the
phone
miss
jones
over
the
phone
back
when
I
was
a
freshman
chairman
of
senate
commerce,
and
this
freshman
chairman
had
a
great
idea
on
how
to
do
some
workforce,
innovation,
stuff
and
after
three
conversations
with
miss
jones.
I
realized
I
didn't,
have
any
idea
what
I
was
doing.
So
I
learned
a
lot
back
then
back
in
19
2009.
A
I
was
thrilled
when
I
found
out
that
ms
jones
would
be
the
fiscal
analyst
when
I
was
asked
to
share
ways
and
means
we
just
had
a
couple
of
months
to
get
ready,
so
we
were
freshmen
together
and
we
had
each
other's
back
and
we
just
plugged
through
it,
and
I
knew
I
could
always
call
her,
no
matter
what
and
be
able
to
get
that
that
great
answer
when
you're
having
a
conversation
with
miss
jones-
and
you
ask
her
one
of
those-
those
really
pointed
questions
where
you
really
want
to
know
what's
going
on,
and
you
hear
that
pause
and
then
she
says.
D
A
And
the
real
answer,
and
that's
where
that
trust
really
really
comes
from
that
unvarnished
truth,
and
even
when
she
disagrees
with
you,
you
still
understand
why
why
it's
there,
so
that
has
been
just
the
most
valuable
tool
a
chairwoman
could
ever
have
is
making
sure
the
the
the
woman
who's
with
her
and
sits
next
to
her.
We
can
always
trust
each
other,
so
that
has
just
been
super
invaluable
and
I
will
never
be
able
to
say
thank
you
enough
for
you,
postponing
your
retirement
and
sticking
with
us
since
this
pandemic
hit.
A
We
truly
value
all
your
help
through
this
fiscal
crisis,
and
I
wish
you
so
much
happiness
and
enjoy
your
time
and
enjoy
your
puppies
and
we're
always
going
to
be.
You
know
where
to
find
us
and
thank
you
just
isn't
enough.
So
thank
you.
Miss
jones,
thank
you
chairman
and,
if
you'd
like
to
say
anything,
that's
fine,
but
if
not,
we
understand.
B
It
truly
has
been
an
honor
to
serve
this
body
and
in
particular
the
interim
finance
committee.
As
a
chairwoman,
carlton
indicated
I've
been
rolling
around
the
state
in
various
positions
for
30
years
now
as
of
yesterday,
and
you
know,
starting
from
a
part-time
intern,
who
would
have
thought
I
would
have
ended
up
where
I
did
at
the
at
the
end
of
my
career,
and
you
know
I
wish
you
all
well.
B
I
wish
you
all
wisdom
to
make
great
decisions
on
behalf
of
the
citizens
of
the
state
of
nevada
and
most
everyone
knows
where
to
find
me.
Should
you
have
any
questions
and
I'm
available.
You
know.
D
B
They
are
the
utmost
professionals
and
utmost
fiscal
experts
in
the
state,
and
I
can't
thank
mr
crempotic
enough
for
taking
me
under
his
wing.
It
was
tough
coming
from
the
outside
into
this
position,
but
I
was
able
to
get
through
it
with
his
support
and
the
support
of
all
my
co-workers
and
I'm.
B
As
you
know,
sarah
who's
been
my
deputy.
The
past
few
sessions
is
stepping
into
my
role
and
I
have
utmost
faith
in
her
ability
to
serve
you
all
well,
she's
super
bright,
she's,
very
caring
and
kind
and
she's
so
fast
at
accessing
information.
You
know.
P
B
The
various
systems
that
that
we
have
available
to
us
to
find
information,
so
I
am
confident
she
will
be
successful
in
serving
you
for
the
remainder
of
her
career
here
at
the
division
and
in
this
upcoming
session.
Thank
you
very
much.

A
Line

There
are
no
callers
at
this
time.
Thank
you

much.
So
we
have
no
public
comment
today.
Thank
you
again,

pretty
good

meeting
is
