A
Good
afternoon,
everyone
at
this
point,
I
will
call
the
committee
to
conduct
an
interim
study
of
the
requirements
for
reapportionment
and
redistricting
in
the
state
of
nevada,
to
order
welcome
to
this
virtual
meeting
of
the
committee
to
conduct
an
interim
study
on
requirements
for
reapportionment
and
redistricting.
This
is
our
fourth
meeting
of
the
2019-20
interim.
We
thank
everyone
who
has
joined
us
today
online
and
we
appreciate
your
participation.
Even
if
we
can't
see
you
in
person
members
as
usual,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
you
meet
mute.
A
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
the
record
michael
stewart
calling
roll
today
senator.

Anyone
who
would
like
to
receive
electronic
notification
and
access
to
the
committee's
agendas,
minutes
or
final
report
can
sign
up
on
the
nevada
legislature's
website
and
we
will
have
two
periods
of
public
comment
today,
one
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
and
one
at
the
end
of
the
meeting.
Our
public
comment
is
limited
to
three
minutes
per
speaker
and
will
be
taken
over
the
telephone.
A
A
As
always,
this
meeting
will
be
recorded
and
available
on
the
legislature's
website
and
is
also
available
for
live
and
archived
viewing
on
the
nevada,
legislature's
new
youtube
channel
for
an
overview
just
a
couple
of
things,
while
our
public
commenters
are
being
connected.
I'd
like
to
say
a
few
words
about
our
work.
A
This
interim,
the
genesis
of
this
interim
study,
is
senate
joint
resolution
9
of
the
2019
legislative
session,
and
this
study
is
held
every
10
years
in
advance
of
the
redistricting
session
to
help
us
prepare
for
the
redistricting
exercise
because
of
the
pandemic
and
two
special
sessions
this
summer.
Our
meeting
opportunities
were
limited
and
we
do
think
the
legislative
commission
gave
this
committee
the
opportunity
to
meet
beyond
our
june
20th
2020
meeting
deadline
so
that
we
could
continue
our
business.
A
A
We
will
also
hear
about
nevada's
complete
count
committee
and
its
efforts
to
promote
the
census
this
past
year,
and
we
will
also
receive
an
update
on
how
the
2019
legislative
appropriation
was
used
in
the
census.
Outreach
also
on
our
agenda
today
is
an
overview
of
public
participation,
practices
and
options
for
nevada
and
the
review
from
legislative
staff
in
utah
regarding
their
public
participation
practices
in
reapportionment
and
redistricting.
A
A
Before
we
go
on
to
our
agenda
item
number
two,
which
is
probably
comment,
I
want
to
announce
to
the
committee
that
we're
going
to
take
some
of
our
agenda
items
today
out
of
order.
A
So
if
you
want
to
grab
a
pen
pencil
after
agenda
item
number
three,
we
will
hear
item
six,
followed
by
eight
nine
and
ten,
and
then
we
are
going
back
to
four
and
five
and
we
will
finish
with
number
eleven.
A
Okay,
I
don't
hear
anything
so
everyone's
got
it.
Thank
you.
So
now
we're
going
to
open
to
the
first
period
of
public
comment.
Each
speaker,
as
I
indicated
earlier,
we'll
have
three
minutes
and
we
encourage
members
of
the
public
to
submit
their
written
testimony
via
one
of
the
methods
listed
on
the
agenda
so
to
our
bps
staff.
Would
you
please
add
the
first
caller
with
public
comment
into
our
meeting.
A
Very
good,
thank
you.
So,
with
that
we'll
move
to
agenda
item
number
three,
which
is
approval
of
the
minutes
for
the
meeting
of
august
27th
2020.
A
A
So
the
motion
has
been
made
by
speaker,
fryerson
seconded
by
senator
canezaro,
and
since
we
are
any
first
of
all
any
discussion
on
the
motion,
okay,
seeing
none
mr
stewart,
we
will
have
you
call
the
rule
and
we
ask
that
committee
members
respond
with
a
yes
or
no.
Thank
you.
C
C
C
A
C
A
Chair,
thank
you
and
that
motion
has
passed.
So
our
next
agenda
item
will
be
item
number
six,
and
this
is
the
item:
two
discussion
of
public
participation,
options
and
considerations
for
reapportionment
and
redistricting
in
nevada
and
a
review
of
public
participation
activities
in
the
state
of
utah
and
other
states.
A
So
I
believe
mr
stewart
will
start
with
a
brief
review
of
general
practices
and
then
we
also
have
jerry
howe,
who
is
the
strategic
initiatives
manager
with
utah's
legislative
staff,
the
office
of
legislative
research
and
general
counsel,
and
he
will
be
presenting
participation,
practices
there
in
utah
and
then
finally
haley
pro
our
lcb's
gis
analyst
in
redistricting
will
also
highlight
the
capabilities
of
our
system
here.
So
we
will
go
ahead.
Mr
stewart
and
your
team,
you
may
begin.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair
again
for
the
record
michael
stewart,
lcb
research.
I
was
just
going
to
start
by
just
briefly
covering
maybe
just
a
few
national
trends.
B
I
did
upload
into
the
website
for
the
committee
an
ncsl
legis
brief
that
actually
was
provided
to
us
at
our
last
meeting
in
august,
but
it's
very
specific
to
public
participation
practices
in
other
states
as
well.
So
I'll
kind
of
just
highlight
some
items
and
then
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
nevada
has
done
in
the
past
and
also
what's
been
included
in
our
rules
in
the
past
so
beginning
in
it
back
in
the
1970s
and
80s
and
90s.
B
As
you
can
imagine,
the
public
played
little
role
in
redistricting,
but
in
our
2000
cycle,
more
states
did
provide
the
opportunity
for
the
public
to
play
a
larger
role
up
to
and
including
creating
maps
for
the
legislature
to
consider
now
by
2010,
the
role
of
the
public
became
even
more
prominent
and
looking
into
2021.
It's
likely
that
many
states,
including
nevada,
will
have
even
more
formal
or
informal
opportunities
for
public
participation.
B
In
fact,
since
2010
legislation
aimed
at
transparency
and
public
input
has
been
very
common
and
states
are
likely
to
find
individuals
and
constituents
groups
actively
seeking
for
an
opportunity
to
have
a
say
in
the
redistricting
process,
even
if
the
final
decision
is
made
by
the
legislature,
some
states
carry
out
public
hearings
on
what
general
concerns
and
values
and
the
values
that
matter
to
which
groups
of
people
and
many
states
conduct
hearings
after
they
receive
data
from
the
census
bureau.
B
And
let
residents
comment
on
how
district
populations
have
changed
over
the
decade
and
in
general,
most
states
hold
hearings
both
before
and
after
drafting
plans
and
after
they're
released
to
the
public
and
finally
approved,
and
this
obviously
is
much
of
much
like
what
we're
doing
right
now,
with
the
interim
study
that
we
hold
every
10
years
prior
to
the
redistricting
session,
as
well
as
some
of
the
required
public
hearings
that
I'll
cover
in
the
rules
that
we've
had
in
the
past,
as
well
as
the
public
hearings
that
the
redistricting
committees
of
the
nevada
legislature,
which
has
been
the
legislative
operations
and
elections
committees,
there's
been
opportunities
during
those
hearings
as
well.
B
Another
opportunity
that
some
states
do
are
sort
of
like
listening
tours
again,
that's
something
that
nevada
has
done
during
redistricting
sessions
and
also
set
forth
in
the
rules.
The
requirement
to
have
a
public
hearing
in
the
northern
part
of
the
state,
a
southern
part
of
the
state
and
the
rural
part
of
the
state,
and
we've
been
doing
that
for
the
last
at
least
two
possibly
three
redistricting
cycles
and,
of
course,
there's
always
public
comment
periods
on
our
agendas
that
are
managed.
B
Pursuant
to
standard
committee
protocols,
many
states
have
now
created
specific
redistricting
portals
or
email
addresses
to
receive
input
from
those
who
cannot
appear
in
person,
and
I
and
haley
will
kind
of
comment
a
little
bit
more
about
our
capabilities
for
that,
based
on
the
new
software
that
was
purchased
or
that
has
been
approved
to
be
purchased
for
the
upcoming
cycle.
B
And
so
of
course,
the
biggest
question
I
think
is
about
the
public
input
is
how
the
how
the
public
will
be
able
to
submit
plans
and,
if
so,
when,
and
how
and
that
sort
of
thing
and
again
that's
dependent
on
our
technology
and
the
technology.
These
days
is
such
that,
frankly,
many
many
more
people
will
are
able
to
sort
of
redistrict
at
home,
and
so
that's
something
that
the
legislature
will
need
to
probably
manage
moving
forward.
B
As
I
mentioned,
I
did
upload
into
the
website.
Legis,
what's
called
a
legis
brief
from
the
national
conference
of
state
legislatures,
I
won't
go
through
it
in
great
detail,
but
just
to
say
that
that
document
does
highlight
various
states
and
what
sort
of
public
input
they
either
require,
or
or
or
do.
This
includes
public
map
submissions
which
states
participate
in
public
comment
and
offer
public
comment.
Testimony
provide
public
hearings
and
access
and
various
notice
requirements,
as
I
mentioned
as
well.
B
Nevada
has
typically
held
in
its
standing
or
in
his
joint
standing
roles,
public
participation
requirements
in
2011.
This
appeared
in
joint
standing
rule
13.6
concerning
public
participation
and,
specifically,
that
rule
says
that
the
redistricting
committees
shall
seek
and
encourage
public
participation
in
all
aspects
of
redistricting
and
reapportionment
activities
and
seek
the
widest
range
of
public
input
into
the
deliberations
relating
to
those
activities.
B
It
also
provides
that
notices
of
all
meetings
of
redistricting
committees
must
be
transmitted
to
any
member
of
the
public
who
so
requests
it
without
charge.
So
in
this
case,
it
would
be
folks
who
sign
up
for
to
hear
or
to
receive
notices
from
committee
hearings.
F
B
Finally,
the
legislative
council
bureau
shall
make
available
to
the
public
copies
of
validated
of
the
validated
2010
census
database
and
I'm
sure
that
will
be
updated
for
the
2020
census
database
for
the
cost
of
reproducing
only
and
then
the
committee
shall
make
available
for
review
by
the
public
copies
of
all
maps
prepared
in
the
direction
of
the
committee.
B
So
committee
members,
this
was
accomplished
in
2011
and
largely
in
2001,
as
well
through
the
public
hearings
that
I
mentioned
by
the
legislative
operations
and
elections
committees,
also
in
2011.
If
you
were
there,
you
remember
that
lcb
staff
was
asked
to
presented
a
couple
committee
of
the
whole
meetings
as
well.
I
was
part
of
those
presentations
along
with
my
colleague,
kathy
steinle.
B
B
So
it's
quite
robust
and
I
think
the
public
will
enjoy
kind
of
poking
through
that
and
looking
at
all
the
various
pieces
of
information
and
map
submissions
and
that
sort
of
thing
that
we
get
as
we
move
through
the
process
and
then
finally,
I
would
just
say
that
the
lcb
has
always
made
its
staff
available
not
only
to
the
legislators
but
also
to
the
public
for
any
questions
on
the
process
relating
to
reapportionment
and
redistricting.
B
So
I
I
would
imagine,
those
procedures
will
still
remain
the
same
and
I
think
with
that
I'll
leave
it
open
for
any
questions
you
may
have
before
we
could
go
over
to
my
colleague
from
utah.
Thank.
D
I
I
have
one
madam
chair,
so
I
know
thank
you
so
we've
been
talking
about
and
I
know
we
had
a
discussion
earlier
about
the
public
workstations
and
the
public
maps
and
how
those
would
be
available.
Do
we
foresee.
D
Midst
of
a
pandemic,
where
there's
limited
interaction,
are
we
coming
up
with
any
ideas
for
how
we
would
still
be
able
to
encourage
and
utilize
public
participation
in
the
form
of
being
able
to
submit
maps
or
view
maps
if
it
is
more
difficult
for
the
public
to
make
it
to
a
public
workstation
or
if
we
can't
use
a
public
workstation
or
you
know
view
a
public
map.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
michael
stewart,
for
the
record
to
you
and
through
you
to
senator
canazzaro,
that's
an
excellent
question
and,
as
you
know,
the
legislature
is
contemplating
what
the
2021
session
will
look
like
in
all
aspects
of
our
deliberations
and
to
the
extent
that
the
committees
and
the
public
hearings
that
we
have
will
be
when
we
don't
know
yet,
but
we'll
be,
let's
say
virtual,
we
would
be
able
to.
You
know,
extend
that
virtual.
I
think
comment
feature
and
capability
to
anybody
who's
interested
much
like
we're
doing
today.
B
The
other
thing
that
I
would
mention
as
well
is-
and
I
think
haley
parole
can
maybe
comment
a
little
bit
about
this
at
the
end
of
at
the
end
of
this
particular
agenda
item.
Is
the
robustness
now
of
our
not
only
our
website,
but
also
of
the
software
itself,
in
order
that
allows
the
public
to
submit
maps
and,
and
you
know,
various
proposals
along
the
way
as
we
as
we
move
through
this
process.
B
Most
of
the
vendors
now
have
a
sort
of
public
input
or
public
submission
tool
as
part
of
their
as
part
of
their
gis
suite
of
capabilities.
B
So
I
do
believe
and
and
frankly,
senator
will
probably
have
a
more
people
than
ever
honestly
doing
redistricting
from
their
homes
on
on
their
own
sort
of
gis
sites.
So
I
think
the
one
thing
that
we'll
have
to
look
at
as
we
get
closer
to
session
is
just
to
make
sure
that
any
of
those
public
map
submissions
do
meet
the
certain
criteria
that
that
will
actually
mesh
like
with
our
gis
system.
B
Of
a
long
answer
to
say
that
yeah,
I
think
we
should
be
able
to
accommodate
the
public
through
technology,
much
like
we're
doing
today
and
and
based
on
our
our
redistricting
software
purchase
that
does
allow
for
submissions
a
little
bit
more
electronically,
if
that
makes
sense.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
any
other
committee
members
with
questions
for
mr
stewart.
A
Okay,
I
see
none,
so
I
think
we'll
go
on
to
mr
howe
from
utah.
If
you
are
ready-
and
I
think
mr
stewart
you're
going
to
do
his
screen
sharing
for
us-
is
that
correct.
B
F
F
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
of
that
before
I
proceeded
I've
been
asked
today
to
discuss
utah's
experience
seeking
public
participation
in
redistricting
for
context.
This
presentation
contains
15
slides
and
it
will
take
about
25
minutes
or
so
I'm
pleased
to
take
questions
as
they
arise
or
when
we're
finished.
Just
what
whatever
is
in
your
pleasure,
I
assume
we
can
all
agree
that
redistricting
is
one
of
the
biggest
headaches
the
legislature
faces
in
any
given
decade.
F
I
mean
by
that
that
redistricting
is
difficult
and
legislators
and
redistricting
commissions
don't
need
an
added
complication
if
public
participation
doesn't
serve
a
purpose
in
utah
after
the
2011
cycle.
Even
the
skeptics
within
the
legislative
environment
were
convinced
that
public
participation
improved
utah's
redistricting
result.
F
It
did
not
only
appease
demanding
voters,
but
it
also
improved
the
outcome
of
our
redistricting
process
in
its
entirety
and
I'll
talk
more
about
that.
As
we
proceed,
let
me
acknowledge
right
off
the
bat
that
utah
walked
out
on
a
limb
in
2011
and
encouraged
the
public
to
draw
redistricting
maps
using
an
online
tool.
F
This
made
it
very
easy
for
people
all
they
needed
was
an
internet
connection
and
they
could
draw
they
could
draw
maps.
I
realized
that
not
every
politician
is
comfortable
with
this
approach,
even
and
perhaps
especially
in
today's
political
environment.
Let
me
say
upfront
that
it's
neither
my
purpose
nor
my
intent
to
convince
anyone
to
do
things.
The
utah
way,
I'm
here
to
explain
how
utah
did
it,
but
I
fully
acknowledge
that
there
are
other
processes
that
may
accomplish
one's
objectives.
F
It's
important
to
note,
as
I
have
that
utah
voters
passed
the
initiative
creating
this
independent
redistricting
commission
and
that
it
was
amended
to
permit
the
legislature
to
to
ought
to
implement
its
functions
under
the
utah
constitution.
F
The
proponents
of
the
redistricting
commission
agreed
to
amend
the
state
statutes
governing
the
commission
during
the
2019
session.
The
amended
language
resolved
some
conflicting
some
staffing
conflicts,
provided
that
the
independent
district
commission
is
given
ample
opportunity
to
present
its
proposed
plans
in
a
public
meeting
of
the
legislature's
registering
committee,
and
it
clarified
that
the
commission
is
advisory.
F
The
utah
redistricting
commission
excuse
me
the
redistricting
committee
in
in
this
next
cycle
and
in
past
cycles
is
comprised
of
about
20
legislators
that
are
appointed
by
the
president
and
the
speaker.
The
redistricting
committee
will
adopt
principles
and
guidelines.
They
hold
about
28
meetings,
including
17
public
hearings
across
the
state.
F
This
kind
of
information
is
extremely
valuable,
but
the
difficulty
is
that
requests
made
by
different
regions
within
a
state
are
often
mutually
exclusive.
One
with
another
redistricting
is
controversial,
because
some
city,
some
county,
some
community,
some
special
interest
or
some
political
party,
some
incumbent
or
some
future
candidate-
will
always
be
convinced
that
there's
a
better
way
that
there's
a
smarter
way
to
draw
the
map.
F
This
is
the
paradox
of
redistricting,
although,
as
there
is
nearly
an
infinite
number
of
ways
to
draw
new
redistricting
maps,
there
isn't
a
single
one
that
can
be
drawn
to
satisfy
everyone
notwithstanding
in
the
2011
cycle,
despite
the
inherent
risk
of
being
the
first
state
to
encourage
and
provide
a
simple,
easy
to
understand
format
for
the
public
to
participate
in
drawing
redistricting
plans.
Our
legislative
leaders
believe
that
public
input
had
a
potential
upside.
F
The
potential
upside
was
that
people
are
more
comfortable
with
the
map
when
they
participate
in
drawing
it,
and
we
believe
that
the
more
input
we
received,
the
better
our
maps
could
be
now
for
the
record.
We
knew
that
providing
the
public
away
to
draw
maps
was
unchartered
territory
and,
let's
be
honest,
doing
things
that
have
never
been
done
before
can
be
scary,
although
some
people
believe
our
decision
was
naive,
some
people
with
our
own
legislature.
F
Only
after
legislators
and
constituents
have
a
common,
mutually
mutual
understanding
of
the
redistricting
problem,
with
the
will.
The
problem
then
be
easier
to
discuss
and
to
resolve
even
members
of
the
media
accepted
invitations
to
draw
a
complete
redistricting
plans.
Utah's
effort
during
the
last
cycle
really
did
result
in
establishing
mutual
understanding.
F
F
Our
congressional
deviations
were
to
be
0.1
percent,
our
legislative
deviations
in
the
house
and
the
senate
seats
were
to
be
plus
or
minus
three
and
a
half
percent,
and
our
school
board
districts
were
going
to
be
as
well
as
three
and
a
half
percent
plus
or
minus.
Now
those
were
our
ground
rules
and
every
state
needs
them.
F
F
F
F
To
be
clear,
I'm
not
here
to
convince
anyone
to
take
this
path
by
driving
the
deviations
down
this
low
and
although
I
think
it
was
the
right
path
for
utah,
I
have
no
idea
how
implementing
public
info
would
play
out
on
this
level
in
any
of
in
in
nevada
or
anybody
else's
state.
So
please
understand
that.
I
don't
mind
if
you
challenge
our
thinking
here
today.
F
F
As
I've
already
mentioned,
I
will
say
that
we
received
from
some
pushback
from
some
members
of
our
legislature,
particularly
in
the
house
of
representatives,
because
these
tight
deviations
required
some
very
fine
tuning
that
we
in
in
every
district
that
resulted
in
getting
off
of
main
roads
and
unnecessarily
dividing
some
neighborhoods
that
could
have
remained
intact
if
the
deviations
were
just
a
little
higher
again,
we
drove
the
variations
down
to
discourage
litigation
and
you'll
have
to
decide
for
yourself.
If
this.
F
If
this
is
worth
the
effort,
there
are
a
few
redistricting
concepts
that
I
would
just
like
to
just
to
touch
on.
Briefly,
first
thing
is:
is
we
found
in
utah
where
a
state
starts
drawing
its
first
map
or
the
house
or
for
the
senate
or
for
congress?
It
really
matters
with
respect
to
how
that
map
develops
and
how
it
progresses
and
protecting
incumbents
in
the
cores
of
districts
is
as
important
to
legislators
as
any
other
principle.
F
It's
no
longer
sufficient
to
educate
only
legislators
about
these
redistricting
realities.
If
the
public
strongly
desires
to
be
part
of
the
redistricting
process,
and
if
the
public
doesn't
understand
these
these
redistricting
principles,
then
they
will
inevitably
engage
in
the
process
with
unrealistic
expectations
which,
as
we
all
know,
breeds
frustration.
F
F
The
tool
met
our
expectations,
which
allowed
any
registered
user
to
submit
a
plan
in
the
slides
that
follow
I'll,
discuss,
registered
user
statistics,
but
for
now,
plans
submitted
by
the
public
were
required
to
comply
with
the
same
redistricting
principles
as
the
legislature's
plans,
including
that
the
plans
were
required
to
be
complete.
They
were
required
to
be
statewide
plans.
F
Plans
drawn
for
a
single
district
or
a
particular
region
were
not
accepted
in
our
state,
from
the
public
plans
had
to
be
statewide.
This
was
important
to
our
legislators,
leader
to
our
legislative
leaders.
For
the
reasons
we
discussed
about
the
law
of
the
river,
everyone
who
draws
a
plan
needs
to
deal
with
the
implications
that
are
sent
downstream.
F
For
the
record.
We
knew
that
providing
the
public
away
to
draw
maps
was
unchartered
territory.
The
good
news
is
that
the
public
improved
the
redistricting
process.
We
even
experienced
an
unexpected
bonus.
That
was,
we
got
a
lot
of
improved
public
relations
with
through
the
media
through
lobbyists
and
others.
F
Although
our
critics
believe
that
seeking
public
input
was
naive,
the
decision
ensured
that
every
citizen
who
drew
a
complete
redistricting
plan
walked
away
with
the
same
frustrations
and
the
same
difficulties
that
we
all
experience
when
trying
to
accommodate
all
the
input
we
receive,
allowing
the
public
to
experience.
The
actual
difficulty
of
drawing
a
complete
plan
was
really
a
good
thing
in
the
state
of
utah.
F
F
F
I
hope
no
one
thinks
that
that
utah
believes
that
allowing
public
input
will
cause
your
strongest
critics
to
respect
your
choices,
because
they
discovered
all
of
a
sudden
that
redistricting
can
be
really
hard,
because
they
won't
do
that.
However,
if
the
public
is
permitted
to
draw
maps
important
constituencies
on
the
left
and
the
right
learn
this
one
fact
that
the
perfect
statewide
map
can't
be
drawn
to
accommodate
everyone's
dream.
District,
even
legislators
need
to
learn
on
occasion
and
even
relearn
with
it
with
each
cycle.
F
So
utah
is
currently
evaluating
an
rfp
for
redistricting
software
and
we've
not
made
a
decision
as
to
what
software
we
will
use
for
the
2020
cycle.
So
I
don't
have
anything
to
report
to
date
about
where
we're
going
in
the
future,
but
during
the
2010
cycle,
staff
drew
maps
with
arcgis
and
autobound,
whereas
the
public
tool
was
an
esri
web-based
redistricting
tool,
and
I
would
really
encourage
any
legislature.
That's
considering
allowing
the
public
to
draw
plans
to
use
an
internet
based
system
rather
than
hardware
in
certain
locations.
F
F
So
a
group
in
southern
utah
could
work
together
with
a
group
in
central
utah
to
draw
maps
for
that
region
and
they
could
put
them
out
on
the
internet
and
other
people
could
build
off
of
those
maps
and
make
comments
about
those
maps
to
help
them
build
and
to
grow
local
ideas
into
regional
ones,
even
into
statewide
plans,
and
that's
very
easy
to
do
on
the
internet.
Not
so
easy
to
do
from
a
from
a
different
location.
F
So
the
injury
tool
permitted
the
public
to
create
groups
to
share,
to
modify
plans
prior
to
submission
and
to
submit
public
plans
to
the
redistricting
committee
for
discussion
at
public
hearings.
The
easy
thing
for
us
using
this
this
tool
on
the
internet
was
when
the
redistricting
committee
went
on
the
road
it
was.
It
was
real
easy
when
people
that
were
attending
a
public
hearing
had
drawn
maps,
they
could
give
us
the
name
of
the
map.
F
We
could
put
the
name
of
the
map
into
our
computer
based
on
the
internet
and
we
could
bring
up
their
map
right
there
online.
We
could
show
it
to
everybody
in
the
committee
meeting.
The
people
could
take
a
clicker,
they
could
walk
through
the
map
that
they
had
drawn.
We
could
show
it
on
a
big
screen
and
there
could
be
a
discussion
about
that
about
that
map,
so
that
was
very
convenient
and
it
was.
It
was
really
nice
for
everybody
to
participate
in
that
way.
F
This
is
what
our
online
tool
looked
like.
We
had,
you
could
take
a
peek
at
the
state
of
utah.
These
are
our
congressional
districts.
There
were
just
five
tabs
across
the
top.
They
were
quite
easy
to
learn.
The
first
one
was
a
a
little
tutorial.
Then
you
could
create
your
maps,
you
could
review
them,
then
you
could
share
them
with
anybody
that
you
wanted
to
and
then
they
could
be
submitted.
F
So
five
tabs
is
all
that
the
tool
had
they
could
assist
users
to
draw
maps.
Each
tab
had
a
ribbon
of
tools
and
information
that
was
listed
on
it,
so
it
was
about
as
basic
and
as
simple
as
as
it
could
be,
and
this
is
the
statistics
that
we
had
with
our
online
tool.
First
of
all,
we
had
over
a
thousand
registered
users
with
that
we
had
323
plans
submitted
now.
That's
323
plans
that
drew
the
entire
state
of
utah
for
either
congressional
districts
for
house
and
senate
districts
or
for
our
state
school
board
districts.
F
One
of
the
things
that
we
had
was
that
only
271
of
these
plans
met
all
of
the
criteria
and
we
required
everybody
in
the
public
that
wanted
to
create
a
plan
to
follow
the
same
criteria
that
the
legislature
had
to
follow
when
they
were
going
to
submit
a
plan.
So
that
is
that
the
plan
had
to
be
compact.
It
had
to
be
a
single
member
district
and
the
deviation
requirements
we
place.
The
same
deviation
requirements
on
the
public
as
we
did
with
the
legislature.
F
This
saved
a
tremendous
amount
of
time
in
public
hearings,
whereas
if
someone
came
to
a
redistricting
committee
meeting
with
a
map
that
they
had
drawn
that
did
not
meet
the
standard
deviation
requirements,
we
didn't
spend
a
lot
of
time
with
that
plan
because
we
couldn't
pass
it.
It
would
be
outside
the
scope
of
a
legal
plan
from
the
beginning,
so
we'd
ask
them
to
redraw
the
plan
to
meet
the
criteria
and
we
published
early
what
the
criteria
was
and
let
people
know
what
the
expectations
were.
F
F
To
the
extent
that
people
commented
on
the
online
plans,
everyone
knew
what
the
critics
and
the
advocates
were
thinking,
because
we'll
we
created
a
blog
that
allowed
people
to
comment
on
plans
that
were
submitted,
even
if
the
drafters
of
every
plan
wanted
to
present
their
plan
at
a
public
hearing.
It
isn't
possible,
with
30
meetings,
to
hear
from
271
complete
plans,
still
not
every
person
who
submitted
a
complete
plan
wanted
to
present
the
plan
at
a
public
meeting.
F
F
Lawmakers
endorse
logan
residents
map
for
a
school
board.
Boundary
is
what
we
learned
is
that
one
individual
created
a
map
for
state
school
boards.
That
really
did
come
come
through
as
the
best
map
available,
and
there
were
some
in
the
legislature
that
wanted
to
change
that
map
a
little
bit
you
know,
or
for
some
for
political
reasons,
but
the
end
of
the
day
the
legislature
adopted
this
map
that
was
drawn
by
a
member
of
the
public.
F
To
accommodate
public
comment
in
2010
the
legislative
leaders,
we
created
a
blog
and
we
posted
all
redistricting
plans,
public
and
legislative
on
this
website.
Public
comment
and
analysis
was
encouraged
on
all
the
plans,
and
this
was
an
afterthought
for
us.
We
believed
in
the
beginning
that
it
would
be
sufficient
to
allow
people
just
to
draw
a
map
and
then
come
to
a
public,
caring
and
discuss
the
map
and
is
what
we
learned
to
our
surprise
is
that
people
did
not
just
want
to
to
draw
a
map.
F
F
A
Thank
you,
mr
howe.
So
yes,
committee
members
questions
just
a
shout
out.
Let
me
know
who
you
are
and
we'll
have.
Mr
howe
address
your
questions.
Any
questions
go.
A
Ahead
one
thing
I
would
say,
mr
howe,
is
I
really
I
really
appreciated
the
the
things
that
you
learned,
especially
regarding
the
public
participation
that
is
very
positive
to
have
that
kind
of
experience.
So
maybe
we
will
have
the
same
thing
happen
here
in
nevada.
That
would
be
great.
C
I'm
sure,
madam
chair,
if
I
may
just
quickly
briefly
and
at
a
little
a
couple
of
different
points,
but
my
question
is
really
more
of
a
practical
one.
Moving
forward.
I
was
a
freshman
when
we
did
redistricting
ten
years
ago
here
in
nevada,
and
so
I
wasn't
part
of
the
process
leading
up
to
session.
But.
C
From
what
I
saw,
then
there
was
a
determination
pretty
much
on
the
front
end
and
no
matter
what
happened.
It
was
going
to
end
up
in
a
lawsuit,
and
that
was
10
years
ago
between
then
and
now,
I
don't
think-
and
several
members
of
this
committee
probably
feel
the
same
way-
I've
never
been
sued
more
and
so
what?
C
What
does
the
landscape
look
like
from
your
perspective?
If,
if
you
have
one
in
utah
about
the
possibility
of
of
there
even
being
a
kumbaya
redistricting
effort,
because
what
I've
been
hearing
across
the
country
from
other
leaders
is,
every
state
should
just
prepare
for
a
lawsuit,
whether
there's
adequate
grounds
or
not.
F
Very
good
question:
certainly
the
political
climate
going
into
the
2020
redistricting
cycle
is
is
more
intense
than
perhaps
any
of
us
have
ever
experienced
before.
F
I
can't
say
with
any
certainty
that
utah
will
come
to
a
conclusion
that
people
in
the
legislature
and
without
would
not
want
to
to
seek
litigation
to
resolve
there's.
What
I
do
know
is
that
I
believe
at
any
rate,
that
the
more
people
who
are
brought
into
the
redistricting
process,
the
the
the
open-mindedness
that
the
legislature
might
have
towards
members
of
the
public
and
the
minority
party
when
drawing
plans,
helps
to
overcome
some
of
the
difficulties
in
in
the
redistricting
process.
There's
a
great
deal
at
stake
in
redistricting.
F
One
thing,
though,
that
if
people
feel
heard
if
they
feel
that
their
ideas
and
their
concepts
and
their
understanding
of
their
distributing
process
is,
is
listened
to
and
understood
and
tried
to
be
accommodated,
sometimes
that
helps
in
the
litigation
process.
Sometimes
not.
I
don't
know
enough
about
nevada
to
know
if
you
will
be
able
to
to
sing
kumbaya
at
the
end
of
your
resisting
process.
I
don't
know
frankly
enough
about
utah-
and
this
is
my
fourth
redistricting
cycle
to
know
if
we
will
be
sued.
F
A
Any
further
questions
from
community
members-
hey,
I
see
none.
I
hear
none.
So
mr
howe,
thank
you
so
much
for
sharing
on
your
perspective
and
the
experiences
in
utah
regarding
redistricting
and
I'm
sure
that
our
staff
will
be
communicating
with
you
as
we
all
both
go
through
this
process.
So
thank
you
again
so
much
for
being
with
us
today.
A
Yes,
we
do
and
we
know
it
so.
Thank
you.
We
appreciate
that
so
next,
we'll
move
on
to
haley
parole,
she's
going
to
do
the
third
part
of
this
agenda
item
so
haley.
Please
go
ahead
as
soon
as
you're,
ready.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
the
record,
my
name
is
haley
poole.
I
am
the
gis
analyst
and
redistricting
jazz
specialist
with
the
research
division
at
lcb.
So
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
public
participation
capabilities
of
the
redistricting
software
purchased
for
the
nevada
legislature.
As
you
may
now
be
curious
to
know
what
public
participation
will
look
like
or
will
have
the
potential
to
look
like
in
nevada
next
year,
so
staff
does
not
have
the
software
in
hand,
yet
it
is
in
the
process
of
being
ordered.
So
I.
H
D
I
D
Citygate
gis
did
not
have
an
online
redistricting
option
in
2011,
so
it
is
new
to
the
nevada
legislature,
this
redistricting
cycle,
so
now
members
of
the
public
will
be
able
to
participate
in
redistricting
through
any
device
with
an
internet
connection.
D
The
system
is
designed
to
be
easy
to
use
and
simple
to
learn.
Users
can
create
redistricting
plans,
share
their
work
with
specific
groups,
solicit
and
manage
comments
from
others
and
submit
their
plans
for
consideration
on
the
management
side
of
things.
Mydistricting.Com
provides
tools
that
allow
tracking
of
submitted
plans,
analysis,
quality
control,
evaluation
feedback
to
the
plan
creator,
as
well
as
approval
and
rejection
functions.
D
D
We
also
plan
to
post
proposed
public
and
legislative
plans
to
the
redistricting
website
to
make
available
for
public
viewing
in
real
time
during
redistricting,
and
so
once
we
received
the
redistricting
software
next
month.
We
look
forward
to
learning
more
about
exactly
how
this
public
redistricting
tool
will
operate.
A
I
don't
see
any
yet
so
I'm
sure
as
we
go
through
this
process,
there
will
be
a
lot
of
questions
for
you
moving
forward.
A
So
I
think
with
that,
we
will
next
move
to
agenda
item
number
eight,
which
is
the
overview
of
the
use
of
partisan
data
in
redis,
searching
and
selection
of
elections
for
the
2021
redistricting
database,
and
we
will
welcome
back,
miss
haley
poole
and
mr
sam
quest,
and
there
is
a
powerpoint
for
that
as
well.
I
believe
so.
You
may
begin
as
soon
as
you're.
A
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee,
just
trying
to
share
my
screen
again
for
the
record.
My
name
is
haley
poll.
I
am
the
gis
analyst
and
redistricting
specialist
with
the
research
division.
D
I
hope
you
can
all
see
my
screen
now
so
today,
my
colleague,
sam
quast
and
I
are
going
to
provide
an
overview
of
the
use
of
partisan
data
and
redistricting
and
provide
recommendations
for
the
selection
of
elections
to
be
used
in
the
2021
redistricting
database,
or
at
least
the
three.
The
past
three
redistricting
cycles,
1991
2001
and
2011.
The
nevada
legislature
has
included
election
results
in
the
redistricting
database
to
provide
some
measure
of
competitiveness
of
districts
in
redistricting
plans
by
using
election
results
from
multiple
competitive
statewide
elections
across
several
election
cycles.
D
D
E
D
E
D
D
Okay,
great
so
by
using
election
results
from
multiple
competitive
statewide
elections
across
several
election
cycles.
The
election
data
depicts
a
comparison
of
voting
patterns
over
the
years
and
provides
a
method
for
evaluating
the
political
effects
of
redistricting
plans
before
diving
into
the
elections
recommended
for
the
2021
redistricting
database.
D
J
All
right
well,
thank
you
good
afternoon,
sam
quast
legal
division,
legislative
council
bureau,
I'm
going
to
give
a
brief
overview
of
the
legal
basis
for
the
use
of
partisan
data
in
the
redistricting
process.
J
Now,
if
we
want
to
pull
up
the
first
slide
here,
there
we
go
thanks.
So
courts
use
the
term
partisan
data
or
political
data
to
refer
to
various
types
of
information
pertaining
to
the
political
process
that
is
sometimes
used
for
certain
purposes
in
redistricting.
J
For
example,
in
the
case
of
gaffney
v,
cummings
connecticut
used
the
party
voting
results
from
the
previous
three
statewide
elections
to
fashion
a
redistricting
plan
that
contained
a
roughly
proportionate
number
of
republican
and
democratic
seats
relative
to
each
party's
political
strength
in
the
state.
The
supreme
court
found
that
using
political
data
to
maintain
the
competitive
balance
among
political
parties
did
not
offend
the
us
constitution,
so,
in
addition
to
maintaining
party
competitiveness,
courts
have
also
sanctioned
the
use
of
political
data
to
assist
in
furthering
traditional
districting
principles.
J
J
So
if
we
go
to
the
next
line
well,
so
our
courts
have
recognized
the
legitimacy
of
using
partisan
data
in
redistricting
for
the
purposes
of
maintaining
party
competitiveness
and
furthering
traditional
districts
and
principles.
J
Some
state
constitutions,
statutes
and
redistricting
guidelines
prohibit
the
use
of
partisan
data
in
redistricting
altogether
or
prohibit
the
drawing
of
districts
to
favor
a
particularly
particular
party
or
person.
Nevada
law
has
no
restrictions
on
the
use
of
political
data
in
the
redistricting
process.
J
Additionally,
the
nevada
supreme
court
has
never
addressed
the
issue
of
using
partisan
data
for
the
purposes
of
partisan
gerrymandering,
because
courts
have
generally
upheld
the
use
of
partisan
data
for
the
purposes
of
maintaining
part
of
competitiveness,
preserving
communities
of
interest
and
avoiding
contests
between
incumbents.
It
would
most
likely
be
permissible
to
use
partisan
data
for
those
purposes.
F
D
Thank
you
sam,
so
one
point
I
want
to
make
is
that
partisan
data
specifically
election
results
is
only
an
estimate
of
competitiveness.
It
is
not
an
exact
measure,
so
election
results
are
reported
at
the
precinct
level,
which
is
a
different
geography
level
than
what
the
2020
census
redistricting
data
will
be
reported
at,
which
is
the
census
block
level.
D
Precincts
are
geographically
larger
than
census
blocks,
so
the
election
data
must
be
disaggregated
down
to
the
census
block
level,
which
makes
it
less
accurate
and
more
of
an
estimate.
So
the
image
on
the
right
shows
the
difference
in
geographical
size
between
precincts
and
census
blocks.
Precinct
boundaries
are
outlined
in
red
and
census
blocks
are
outlined
in
black
and
for
reference.
The
colored
areas
represent
state
assembly
districts.
D
in
2011,
the
2006
governor
race,
2008
presidential
race
and
2010
u.s,
senate
and
state
treasurer
races
were
used
in
the
redistricting
database
in
2001,
the
1996
presidential
race,
1998
senate
race,
u.s,
senate
race
and
2000
u.s,
president
and
u.s
senate
races
were
used
in
each
case.
Elections
were
drawn
from
the
previous
three
election
cycles,
and
four
races
were
used
in
1991,
which
is
not
listed.
Elections
were
also
used
from
the
past
three
election
cycles,
but
only
three
races
were
used
when
choosing
election
data
to
include
in
the
redistricting
database.
D
D
Elections
should
also
be
statewide.
We
want
election
data
that
encompasses
the
entire
geography
of
the
state,
not
just
a
subset
of
voter
precincts
within
nevada.
So
this
rules
out
all
local
elections
and
regional
elections.
Like
those
for
state
senate
state
assembly
and
congressional
seats
among
others,
elections
should
be
competitive.
D
D
D
A
Okay
with
that,
let's
go
to
committee
members,
questions
on
this
item
and
this
is
an
action
item
for
today,
so
we're
looking
at
partisan
data
and
redistricting
and
and
selecting
the
elections
that
we're
going
to
use
so
discussion
and
questions.
A
We
have
three
highlighted,
so
one
of
the
questions
I
would
throw
out
to
the
committee
would
be
to
what
would
be
your
thoughts
regarding
the
fourth
slot
that
we
need
to
fill
and
the
most
current
year
would
be
to
use,
would
be
2018.
A
The
ones
that
are
highlighted
are
2016.
miss
pearl.
Could
you
put
up
that
slide
again?
2016
is
the
presidential
race
with
a
2.42
difference
in
2018
is
the
attorney
general
race,
which
has
a
0.47
percent
difference
and
then
2020
the
us
president.
There
we
go
so
we
need
to
so
in
processing
a
motion
here.
We
would
need
to
find
a
fourth
slot,
assuming
we
will
take
the
other
three,
as
recommended
by
staff,
which
all
three
of
them
certainly
make
sense
to
me,
but
we
need
to
find
a
fourth.
A
C
C
C
A
A
So,
okay,
what
is
your
pleasure?
Any
questions,
if
not
so
the
chair
will
accept
a
motion
from
the
speaker.
C
I
would
move
along
consistent
with
what
senator
ganser
noted
on
the
fourth
country.
A
B
Chair
for
the
record,
michael
stewart,
and
just
for
clarification
on
our
minutes
did
that
motion
for
the
fourth
one
also
include
the
secretary
of
state
race
in
2018.
Was
that
correct.
A
Yes,
yes
in
2018,
it
would
be
the
secretary
of
state
race
and
the
attorney
general's
race
in
16
would
be.
The
u.s
president
in
2020
would
be
a
u.s
president.
B
Okay,
roll
call
for
that.
One
senator.
B
All
right
we'll
go
back.
Senator
canezaro.
C
B
Okay,
senator
goykicha,
yes,
chairwood
house.
A
C
C
A
I
have
to
come
off
mute
okay.
The
motion
has
passed.
Thank
you
very
much.
We
will
now
go
on
to
agenda
item
number
nine,
which
is
the
review
of
possible
recommendations
for
increasing
the
maximum
size.
The
precinct
set
forth
in
the
battery
by
statutes
and
we'll
go
to
mr
stewart
and
mr
killian
from
lcb.
B
All
right,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
the
record.
This
is
michael
stewart
with
lcd
research
division.
I'm
going
to
share
just
a
little
write-up,
that's
also
uploaded
on
the
web.
Hopefully
you
can
see
it.
There
agenda
item
number
nine
for
the
consideration
of
a
recommendation
to
increase
the
maximum
size
of
precincts
set
forth
in
the
battery
by
statutes,
293
207
committee
members.
B
B
and
at
its
meeting
in
of
last
month,
you'll
recall
that
the
members
of
the
committee
heard
testimony
from
the
registrar
of
voters
in
both
clark,
county
and
washoe
county,
who
noted
that
in
some
cases,
certain
areas
of
their
counties
could
accommodate
precincts
with
more
than
3
000
active,
registered
voters
and,
in
addition,
under
the
new
vote
center
model
used
by
nevada's
counties,
the
need
to
assign
voters
to
single
to
a
single
precinct
or
a
single
polling
location
is
no
longer
necessary
and
they
further
noted
that
being
able
to
assign
more
voters
into
one
precinct
would
be
helpful.
B
In
avoiding
the
splitting
into
multiple
precincts
of
certain
high
density
population
areas
such
as
larger
apartment
complexes
or
certain
neighborhoods,
there
was
of
course,
some
discussion
about
how
that
would
affect
the
royal
communities,
and
I
would
note
that
testimony
indicated
that,
since
the
proposed
increase,
that's
worth
a
maximum
number
of
active
voters
per
precinct,
certain
jurisdictions
to
include
rural
counties
could
continue
to
create
smaller
precincts
as
needed,
or
leave
their
existing
precincts
unchanged.
B
So,
based
on
that
that
testimony,
I
think
the
question
for
the
committee
today
is.
Does
the
committee
wish
to
recommend
a
bill
draft
request
to
amend
nrs
293
207
to
increase
from
3
000
to
5000?
B
The
maximum
number
of
active
voters
participated
in
an
election
precinct,
and
I
would
note
for
members
of
the
committee
that
I
did
reach
out
to
joe
gloria
registrar
voters
in
clark,
county
and
obviously
he's
quite
occupied
right
now
with
early
voting,
but
he
did
say
that
he
was
certainly
okay
with
that
recommendation
and,
of
course,
committee
members
should
know
that
you
know
if
they're
the
numbers
certainly
could
be
adjusted
if
need
be
through
an
amendment
for
next
session.
B
But
this
would
certainly
get
the
bdr
in
process,
and
so
with
that,
madam
chair
I'll
turn
it
over
to
you
and
unless
my
colleague
mr
killian
has
further
to
add.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
mr
killian.
Did
you
wish
to
add
any
remarks
to
this
agenda
item.
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair
asher,
killian
committee
council.
No,
I
believe
michael
covered
it
pretty
well,
and
the
only
thing
I
would
note
is
that
an
increase
from
three
thousand
to
five
thousand
would
be
consistent
with
previous
amendments
to
this
section
generally,
each
time
the
legislature
has
considered
this
number
for
an
increase,
the
increase
has
been
between
50
and
100
percent
of
the
previous
number,
so
this
increase
would
be
consistent
with
previous
actions.
A
Very
good,
thank
you
very
much
so
discussion
from
committee
members,
and
this
is
essentially
to
increase
the
number
on
of
the
maximum
size
of
precincts
from
three
thousand
to
five
thousand
active
voters.
Discussions.
C
So,
just
for
my
own
curiosity
is
there:
is
there
a
minimum
number
of.
K
Thank
you,
madam
sharer
asher
gillian
committee
council.
There
is
no
minimum
set
forth
and
statute.
That's
left
up
to
each
county.
All
that
we
establish
in
statute
is
a
maximum
number
of
members
in
each
or
maximum
number
of
voters
in
each
precinct.
A
Okay,
seeing
none,
mr
speaker,
do
you
wish
to
make
the
motion
regarding
this
item.
A
And
we
have
a
motion
from
speaker
fryerson
to
increase
the
maximum
size
of
precincts
from
three
thousand
to
five
thousand.
Do
we
have
a
second
second,
madam
chair?
Thank
you.
I
think
that
was
senator
ganzard
assemblywoman.
How
did
he
oh
great?
Thank
you.
Thank
you
assemblywoman.
I
appreciate
that
any
discussion
on
the
motion.
A
Okay,
seeing
none,
mr
mr
stewart,
we'll
have
you
call
the
roll
and
just
a
reminder,
yes
or
no,
on
the
motions.
Thank
you.
C
C
C
A
C
A
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
the
record,
michael
stewart
with
the
research
division
of
the
legislative
council
bureau.
I
hope
I
am
successfully
sharing
the
other
screen
here
to
show
agenda
item
number
10.,
as
we've
discussed
several
times
throughout
the
interim.
J
B
A
little
bit
of
background
when
recommending
rules
for
reenforcement
and
redistricting
and
inclusion
into
the
joint
roles
rather
than
voting
on
specific
rule
language.
Previous
iterations
of
this
interim
study
generally
would
vote
on
the
particular
principles
it
wishes
wishes
to
include,
and
these
would
then
serve
as
a
basis
for
the
drafting
of
the
relevant
portions,
of
the
joint
standing
rules
for
this
regular
session,
which
are
approved
on
day
one
of
the
regular
session.
B
So
as
a
review
in
2011,
the
recommendation
for
the
rules
included
addressing
the
responsibility
for
redistricting
measures
and
the
approval
of
research
requests,
the
quality
of
representations
for
the
various
districts,
the
use
of
a
population
database
for
reapportionment
and
redistricting,
and
that's
the
database
that
this
committee
just
approved
the
use
of
census,
geography
for
district
boundaries,
the
procedures
for
these
senate
and
assembly
committees,
who
are
tasks
that
are
tasked
with
reapportionment
and
redistricting
compliance
with
the
voting
right
rights
act
and,
as
I
noted
previously,
public
participation
in
the
reapportionment
and
redistricting
process.
B
So
these
recommendations
are
generally
handled
generally
handled
the
housekeeping
and
staff
management
elements
of
the
redistricting
process,
in
addition
to
specifically
citing
the
equality
of
population,
the
use
of
census,
geography
and
compliance
with
the
voting
rights
act
as
guiding
redistricting
principles.
B
B
In
addition
to
other
matters
brought
before
the
study,
this
interim
that
might
merit
inclusion,
are
recommendations
to
adopt
rules
that
require
the
nesting
of
assembly
districts
within
senate
districts,
authorizing
the
use
of
a
database
of
election
data
for
the
purposes
of
present,
preventing
contests
between
incumbents
and
performing
an
analysis
to
ensure
compliance
with
voting
rights
act.
B
That
again
is
tied
in
with
the
database
elections
that
we
talked
about
earlier
and
encouraging
district
lines
when
possible,
to
take
into
account
local
government,
local
government
boundaries
and
districts
to
minimize
the
number
of
ballot
styles
created
by
local
election
administrators
and
then,
of
course,
based
on
the
appetite
of
the
committee
members.
Following
the
participation
following
the
presentation
on
public
participation,
it
may
be
helpful
to
recommend
rules,
language
that
establishes
some
parameters
for
public
participation.
B
So-
and
I
would
just
note
that
they're
also
some
of
some
plan-
submission
requirements,
could
be
set
forth
in
committee
rules
and
adopted
committee
rules,
which
could
be
amended
appropriately
as
needed
to
best
accommodate
the
needs
of
the
public
and
the
redistricting
committees.
To
include
the
committee
schedule
and
the
availability
of
the
census
data
upon
its
delivery
to
nevada
so
with
that
man,
I'm
sure
that's
kind
of
a
summary
of
the
recommendation
and
I'll
get
over
to
you
unless
my
colleague
mr
killian
may
have
more
to
add.
Thank
you.
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair
asher,
killian
committee
council.
I
think,
mr
mr
stewart
did
a
great
job
presenting
those
recommendations.
The
only
thing
I
would
offer,
just
as
a
matter
of
background
on
the
nesting
of
assembly
districts,
that
is
not
an
issue
that
in
the
past
has
been
included
in
the
redistricting
rules
and
the
joint
standing
rules,
and
that
is
because,
before
this
previous
decade,
the
legislature
had
not
nested
its
assembly
districts
within
senate
districts.
That
was
a
creation
of
the
court
during
the
2011
process
and
not
part
of
the
legislative
drawing
of
lines.
C
C
Chair,
I
know
that
in
an
earlier
meeting
we
had
also
discussed
the
content
of
the
actual
approved
legislative
measure
and
defining
the
boundaries,
and
we
had
discussed
the
possibility,
I
think,
in
the
future
of
referencing
a
map
file
instead,
and
I
I
just
wanted
to
ask
staff
if
that
is
something
that
needs
to
be
addressed
in
the
rules
at
all
or
if
that's
something
that
we
can
decide
as
we're
crafting
the
legislation.
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair
asher,
killian
committee
council.
That
is
something
that
your
various
staff
divisions
have
been
working
very
hard
on
during
this
interim
to
enable
we
believe
we're
going
to
have
a
solution
available
for
that.
My
suggestion,
though,
would
be
that
that
might
be
a
better
matter
for
the
committee
rules
rather
than
the
joint
standing
rules
at
this
point,
because
we're
not
certain
what
the
contours
of
the
solution
will
be
just
yet.
K
A
So
I
highly
support
us,
including
the
nesting
of
the
assembly
districts
within
the
senate
districts,
anything
anyone
else.
Any
questions
comments.
A
Okay,
seeing
none
mr
speaker,
do
you
want
to
put
forth
a
motion
regarding
agenda
item
number
10.
A
And
I
didn't
oh
senator
koikitia.
Thank
you.
So
the
motion
has
been
made
by
speaker:
fryerson
second
advisor
okay,
and
so
that
will
include
the
2011
as
well
as
the
three
additional
ones
that
were
on
the
possible
recommendations
for
2021.
B
Thank
you,
senator
cancella.
H
A
A
C
A
A
That
one
is
the
update
of
the
us
of
the
united
states,
census,
bureau
activities,
outreach
and
census
response
rates
in
nevada
and
discussion
of
future
census
operations,
and
we
have
mr
gonzalez
and
mr
berman
available.
I
believe
and
there's
a
hand
or
there's
a
powerpoint
for
that
one
as
well.
So,
gentlemen,
you
can
begin
when
you're
ready.
I
I
We're
going
to
the
the
first
slide,
we
we
adjusted
our.
I
think,
that's
the
third
slide,
michael.
I
want
to
go
to
the
second
one
yeah
that
one
that's
it
so,
due
to
the
pandemic,
we
adjusted
our
time
frame
for
the
census
and,
as
everybody
knows,
the
census
concluded
on
october
15th
at
11
59
hawaii
standard
time.
I
We
we
adjusted
our
all
our
operations
from
the
original
dates
that
you
see
on
the
left,
to
the
dates
that
you
see
on
the
right
are
surface-based
enumeration
ran
from
september
22nd
through
the
24th,
the
non-sheltered
outdoor
locations,
which
included
the
the
homeless
population,
concluded
on
september
24th
and
began
on
september
23rd.
I
The
group
quarters,
as
you
see,
went
from
april
2nd
through
september
3rd.
The
transitory
locations
went
from
september
3rd
to
the
28th.
The
internet
and
self-response,
of
course,
ran
all
the
way
up
to
october
15th.
I
I
I
I
Our
team
in
nevada
worked
closely
with
these
groups
and
completed
approximately
432
mobile
questionnaire
assistance
events
across
the
state
since
august
27.
on
august
27th,
nevada
self-response
rate
was
approximately
63.7
percent
by
october
15th.
At
the
conclusion
of
the
census,
nevada's
health
response
rate
was
66.6.
I
So
our
census
takers
were
trained
to
rigorously
and
universally
follow
the
cdc
recommendations
and
guidelines
to
mitigate
the
risk
of
transmission
and
this
included
wearing
a
face,
mask
maintaining
social
distance
of
six
feet
or
more
practicing
hand,
hygiene
and
not
entering
homes
or
facilities
to
conduct
interviews.
I
I
So
our
nationwide
self-response
rate,
as
of
october
15th
at
the
conclusion
of
the
census,
was
99
of
addresses,
were
accounted
for
and
66
were
accounted
through.
The
self-response
either
online
by
phone
or
by
mail,
and
the
remaining
33
percent
were
accounted
through.
Our
non-response
follow-up
operation
and,
incidentally,
the
self-response
rate
was
higher
than
in
2010,
and
this
was
largely
due
to
the
first
time
that
the
census
was
available
online
for
folks
to
respond
to
next
slide.
Please.
I
Now
that
the
collection
period
has
ended,
the
census
bureau
is
evaluating
its
schedules
for
producing
that
data.
Once
an
apportionment
schedule
has
been
solidified,
then
we
will
be
able
to
reestablish
the
the
excuse
me
somebody's
going.
Then
we
will
be
able
to
reestablish
that
redistricting
schedule,
hopefully
we'll
be
able
to
make
some
announcements
regarding
the
release
of
registering
data
soon,
as
our
data
is
tabulated.
G
Thank
you,
mr
gonzalez,
and
thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
allowing
us
to
be
here
with
you
today.
Thank
you
good
to
the
committee.
My
name
is
brian
lee
berman.
I
am
the
senior
partnership
specialist
here
in
the
great
state
of
nevada,
I'm
here
in
the
very
pleasant
capacity
to
share
with
you
on
the
really
great
data
that
we
have
from
the
both
self-response
and
total
enumeration.
G
Mr
stewart,
please
show
slide
three.
Looking
at
the
2020
response
rate
table.
G
C
B
G
G
I
promise
first,
let's
start
I
want
to
start
in
the
the
left-hand
column
there
total
self-responded.
You
will
see
that
nevada
finished
terrific
25th
in
the
nation.
For
those
of
you
who
don't
know
in
2010,
nevada
was
40th
in
the
nation
in
self-response,
the
growth
from
40th
to
25th
is
the
best
growth
of
any
state.
So
that
is
really
really
great.
We're
thrilled
about
that.
I
also
want
to
show
you
on
that
left
column.
The
total
enumerated
column.
G
Those
rankings
are
in
terms
of
relative
total,
enumerated
responses,
so,
although
each
one
says
number
one
they're
ranked
from
highest
to
lowest-
and
these
are
just
a
public
table-
because
this
is
available
online,
but
this
is
a
literally
a
screen
shot
that
we
took
yesterday
that
I
could
just
show
you
now,
so
you
can
check
this
yourself.
Nevada
was
24
as
we
counted
in
the
nation
in
total
enumerated,
which
is
also
very,
very
good.
G
I
want
to
it's
really
exciting
and
then
you'll
see
also
that
the
states
are
ahead
of
in
terms
of
in
terms
of
total
enumeration.
You
know
nebraska
minnesota,
michigan
massachusetts
maryland
right,
so
I
mean
we
did
really
really
well
here
in
2020
and
we
should
all
be
very,
very
proud.
The
really
exciting
data,
though,
is
on
slide
four.
Mr
stewart,
if
you
please
and
we'll
take
a
look
here
at
the
groceries,
that's
really
where
you
can
see
and
I'll
always
let
you
know
when
you're
there.
G
No,
I'm
sorry
confirmation
that
you
were
on
the
the
growth
rate.
Page
excuse
me.
G
Thank
you
so
much
I
apologize,
so
I
wanted
to
begin
right
right
on
this
first
line
with
the
top
line
here
and
just
take
a
moment
to
kind
of
almost
pause
and
reflect
as
we
can
see
in
2010
the
self-response
rate
in
nevada,
61.4
percent.
The
growth
to
66.6
is
an
astound
8.5
and.
G
Earlier
that
is
the
highest
growth
rate
in
the
entire
nation
in
self-response.
You
all
should
be
very,
very
proud.
That
is
an
amazing
accomplishment.
To
be,
I
mean
to
be
number
one
in
the
nation.
You
can't
argue
with
that
right
and
I
wanted
to.
I
gave
you
some
of
the
localities
here
so
that
we
could
kind
of
get
an
understanding
of
how
we
did
so
well,
and
I
wanted
to
start
with
the
city.
Our
cities
did
so
well
and
they're,
really
the
the
crown
jeweled
the
effort.
G
If
you
ask
me
the
city
of
las
vegas,
8.3
percent
growth
right,
can't
beat
that
city
in
north
las
vegas
double
digit
growth,
10.1
percent
growth
from
2010..
G
I
also
highlighted
the
city
of
henderson
that,
although
the
8.3
growth
is
great,
I
wanted
folks
to
see
that
76
growth
rate,
which
I
must
apologize,
is
actually
76.1
percent.
This
table
is
from
last
week.
Henderson
has
the
fourth
highest
self-response
rate
of
the
cities,
with
200
000
people
in
the
entire
nation
wow
right.
G
Well,
only
three
cities
did
better
than
henderson,
but
I
also
wanted
to
point
out
that
moved
to
that
second
line
on
clark
county
that,
if
you
notice
at
clark
county's
growth
rate
right,
we
went
from
60.4
to
67.1
percent
at
11.1
percent
growth.
That's
even
higher
than
those
amazing
numbers
posted
by
the
city,
which
means
that
the
best
growth
was
coming
from
the
unincorporated
parts
of
the
county.
So
it
was
really.
G
I
mean
when
you
remember
that
clark
county
has
almost
2.3
million
people
to
get
a
locality
that
large
to
grow
at
11.1
percent
is
an
amazing
accomplishment,
which
is
my
humble
opinion,
speaks
to
the
the
depth
and
the
breadth
of
our
volunteer
network.
Yes,
between
the
complete
count,
committees
that
we
had
and
all
the
amazing
partnerships
that
we
formed-
that's
not
possible
to
grow
at
11
in
clark
county
without
the.
F
G
Congratulations
to
everyone,
and
I
also
wanted
to
point
it:
it's
not
just
the
larger
city
with
clark,
mesquite,
25
percent
growth.
I
mean
come
on
fantastic,
but
also
the
growth
is
seen
in
the
northern
part
of
the
state
as
well.
Washoe's.
Four
percent
growth
is
great
right,
but
we
also
saw
some
very
silly
growth
statistics
on
some
northern
parts,
right
city
of
fernley,
17
story,
county
36.9,
right
up
to
64.6
lion,
county
14.7
percent
growth.
So
it's
it's
the
growth,
it's
not
a
self-response
rate.
It's
it's.
F
G
Over
the
state,
but
particularly
in
our
biggest
population,
centers
folks,
really
came
together
and
decided
that
this
this
project
was
important
and
the
data
reflects
that
and
to
thank
our
wonderful
partners
elixir
stewart
please
slide
five.
G
We
are
happy
and
excited
to
announce
the
first
ever
2020
census.
Thank
you,
the
gala,
I
believe
with
the
technical
term
for
it
where
we
are
going
to
be
in
conjunction
with
the
nevada
casino
committee.
The
census
bureau
is
going
to
celebrate
all
of
the
wonderful
people
that
helped
make
this
self-response
rate
growth
possible.
We're
going
to
be
over
statewide
over
zoom,
it's
going
to
be
10
november
about
1
pm.
We
correctly
invite
everyone
on
this
call
to
join
us
on
the
meeting.
G
Please
join
us
if
you'd,
like
an
invitation,
please
send
me
an
email
at
the
address
on
your
screen
there
brian.l.berman
at
2020census.gov,
and
I
will
send
that
invitation
to
you
in
the
days
after
the
election
the
wednesday,
thursday
friday
after
the
four
november
election
and
before
I
turn
over,
to
turn
it
over
to
questions
from
mr
gonzalez,
and
I
had
two
more
points
of
business.
G
If
folks
are
interested
in
getting
that,
if
you
want
to
sign
up,
you
can
to
the
initial
release
of
the
2020
census
data
that
can
be
done
at
2020census.gov.
G
If
you
go
there
now,
you
can
click
a
link
and
enter
your
email
address
and
you'll
be
the
first
one
to
be
alerted
once
the
data
is
released.
So
I
would
recommend
doing
that
and
then
second
tomorrow,
we're
going
to
have
a
2020
census
operations
and
next
step
press.
It's
a
national
press
conference
and
I
want
to
invite
everyone
to
attend.
If
you
have
further
questions
about
census
operations,
that's
going
to
be
held
on
mr
fontenot
and
mr
olson
and
the
gentleman
in
charge
of
the
2020
census
will
be
leading
the
press
discussion.
G
A
I
don't
see
any
so.
Thank
you
both
so
very
much
for
your
presentation
today
and
I
believe
mr
stewart
got
the
phone
number
and
information
written
down
so
we'll
send
that
out
to
the
committee
members
again
in
case.
Anyone
wants
to
sign
up
for
those
events,
but
thank
you
so
much.

update
on
the
use
of
the
legislative
appropriation
that
was
made
in
senate
bill
504
for
nevada
census
activities,
and
we
welcome

So
thank

H
I
have
been
asked
to
present
to
you
a
summary
of
the
efforts
brought
forth
put
forth
by
the
state
complete
count
committee
over
the
course
of
the
last
18
months.
A
well-known
fact
for
the
record
governor
sislek
established
the
state
complete
count
committee
in
april
of
2019
naming
the
lieutenant
governor
chair
of
this
committee.
I'm
going
to
go
through
a
brief
summary
of
all
we
did
since
our
first
meeting
in
june
of
last
year,
and
this
shouldn't
take
too
long.
H
I
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
have
along
the
way
if
I
am
able,
and
so
I'll
begin
with
my
quick
recap
june
of
2019,
we
held
our
first
complete
count
committee
meeting,
bringing
together
the
nine
members
appointed
by
the
governor
lieutenant
governor
kate
marshall,
served
as
chair
assemblywoman
sandra
haudegee
served
as
vice
chair.
The
remaining
members
were
secretary
of
state,
barbara
sagasti,
senator
james
settlemyer
city
of
sparks
councilman,
chris
dair
davis,
gonzalez
nicole
lamboli,
dagny,
stapleton
and
emily
zamora.
H
This
was
an
introductory
meeting.
We
went
over
the
plan
and
expectations
of
the
upcoming
year
and
a
half,
and
the
census
bureau
presented
the
committee
with
their
outreach
field
and
enumeration
plans
in
august
of
2019.
The
complete
count
committee
meant
to
discuss
programmatic
items
such
as
best
practices
when
targeting
hard
to
count
communities
and
the
possibility
of
creating
subcommittees,
which
would
be
tasked
with
building
an
outreach
program
for
certain
areas
of
focus.
H
H
Those
subcommittees
were
the
government
subcommittee,
which
focused
on
engaging
our
federal
delegation,
our
elected
officials
and
their
constituencies,
government
workers,
military
members
and
veterans
across
the
state.
We
had
the
education
subcommittee,
which
was
tasked
with
creating
and
executing
a
plan
to
have
every
student
from
pre-k
to
higher
education
counted
in
the
2020
census.
H
The
employer
subcommittee
was
among
the
six
subcommittees
created
and
we
collaborated
with
our
union
partners,
our
chambers
of
commerce,
our
resorts
and
casinos.
The
list
goes
on.
This
subcommittee
worked
hard
to
create
a
plan
to
ensure
that
every
employee
and
or
patron
of
our
businesses
would
have
the
opportunity
to
be
counted
while
on
company
grounds.
H
The
tribal
subcommittee
partners
across
the
state
from
our
tribal
nations
were
creative
and
persistent
in
their
task
of
ensuring
their
representation
in
this
year's
census.
They
were
quite
successful
or
the
organizational
subcommittee
which
was
our
non-profit
and
faith-based
focus
subcommittee.
H
We
gathered
non-profit
and
faith-based
leaders
from
across
the
state
to
represent
nevada
and
to
assist
us
in
reaching
their
networks
and
congregations.
And
finally,
we
have
the
heart
to
count
subcommittee.
This
subcommittee
was
set
on
counting
every
individual
from
our
hardest
to
reach
neighborhoods
over
75
individuals
made
up
the
committee
and
the
six
subcommittees
each
person
representing
a
different
community
industry
or
trade
across
the
state
we
met
once
to
twice
a
month.
While
we
were
able
again
that
was
seven
committees.
H
75
members
of
the
community
total
meeting
once
to
twice
a
month
to
discuss,
census,
outreach
efforts.
We
discussed
various
topics
but
focused
on
the
most
effective
ways
to
reach
particular
communities
of
focus.
Many
ideas
were
taking
shape
during
these
meetings.
H
Excuse
me,
I'm
sorry,
many
ideas
were
taking
shape
during
these
meetings.
Multilingual
events
were
discussed.
Our
heart,
our
higher
ed
institutions,
were
creating
plans
to
reach
their
student
base.
Our
employee
subcommittee
was
working
on
creative
ways
to
engage
both
the
small
business
community
and
the
resort
and
casino
industry.
We
were
met
with
full
cooperation
from
all
involved
october
2019.
H
The
committee
established
two
types
of
grants
which
were
made
available
to
the
public
to
apply
for
these
grants,
made
it
possible
for
organizations
and
or
community
partners
to
contribute
to
our
success
in
this
year's
decennial
census.
The
first
type
of
grant
was
the
partner
grant
which
had
a
maximum
award
of
two
thousand
dollars.
The
second
type
of
grant
was
the
mini
grant,
which
awarded
a
maximum
of
ten
thousand
dollars.
H
During
this
october
meeting,
we
also
voted
on
the
grants,
application
and
approval
process
grant
applications
would
first
be
seen
by
the
governor's
finance
office
where
they
would
go
through
a
quality
check
and
a
check
for
completion.
They
would
then
head
to
the
governor's
office
for
review
and
for
possible
recommendations.
H
Finally,
grant
applications
would
be
presented
to
the
state
complete
count
committee
for
final
review
and
possible
approval
november
and
december
of
2019.
We
met
kerry
dermick,
who
served
as
our
statewide
coordinator
for
the
census.
As
the
subcommittee's
plan
continued
to
evolve,
we
engaged
other
community
partners
such
as
the
clark
county
libraries,
who
were
incredibly
helpful.
We
worked
on
drafting
plans
for
weeks
and
weekends
of
action
on
school
campuses
at
food
banks
and
at
children's
story
times
in
libraries
across
the
state.
H
The
point
of
these
plans
and
weekends
of
actions
was
to
prepare
for
the
march
12th
launch
of
the
census
survey
march.
10Th
2020
we're
getting
very
close
to
the
great
turn
of
events.
Here.
The
committee
met
to
approve
a
number
of
grant
grant
applications
from
community
partners
of
the
nine
grants
presented,
nine
were
approved,
some
were
approved
as
presented,
some
were
approved
with
contingencies
or
adjustments.
H
I
would
like
to
note
the
nine
applications
presented
to
the
state
complete
committee
on
this
date
were
just
some
of
the
applications
received.
The
applications
not
reviewed
by
the
state
complete
count
committee
on
march
10
were
still
making
their
way
through
the
other
two
steps
of
the
grant,
application
and
approval
process.
H
I
will
quickly
go
over
the
nine

were
presented
and
approved.
The
first

The

They

Outreach
that
grant
application
was
approved
as
presented.
This
meeting
again
was
held
on
march
10th.
Two
days
later,
on
march
12,
2020
census,
surveys
were
sent
out
to
residents
and
self-response
response
began.
H
On
march
13,
the
committee
had
scheduled
a
data
deep
dive.
We
plan
to
train
our
committee
and
sub-committee
members
to
use
the
rome
database
tool
just
for
those
of
you
who
may
not
be
familiar
with
rome.
Rome
is
an
acronym
which
stands
for
response.
Outreach
area
mapper
this
tool
provides
a
mapping
of
the
various
census
tracts
within
our
state.
We
wanted
to
provide
this
training
to
our
committee
members
so
that
they
could
continue
to
tailor
and
fine-tune
their
outreach
plans.
H
However,
due
to
the
rapid
increase
in
covet-19
cases,
we
had
to
cancel
that
meeting
the
next
week.
As
we
all
know,
everything
shut
down.
The
committee
and
subcommittee
members
did
meet
via
teleconference
line
in
april
to
connect
and
discuss
ways
in
which
we
could
adapt
our
plans
of
outreach.
The
best
method
and
most
viable
tactic
we
had
at
the
time
was
digital
outreach
and
we
advised
the
members
to
use
their
social
media
and
any
other
ways
of
contacting
their
networks.
For
the
time
being.
H
Additionally,
the
governor's
finance
office
provided
a
written
statement
to
us
on
the
status
of
the
grants
approved
at
the
march
10th
meeting,
with
which
the
lieutenant
governor
read
aloud
to
the
committee.
That
statement
read
as
follows:
the
governor's
finance
office
has
suspended
most
of
the
grants
approved
by
the
complete
count
committee
due
to
social
distancing
protocol.
H
The
governor's
finance
office
will
reconsider
the
grants,
should
social
distancing
restrictions
be
lifted,
the
governor's
finance
office
will
no
longer
be
accepting
or
processing
any
further
grants.
At
this
time,
this
statement
and
procedure
can
be
re-evaluated
in
the
future,
but
the
governor's
finance
office
believes
it
is
more
likely
than
not
that
the
governor's
finance
office
will
not
issue
any
further
grants,
including
those
that
have
already
been
received
prior
to
covet
19
circumstances,
and
that's
the
end
of
that
statement.
H
As
the
members
of
this
committee
know
all
too
well,
the
state
had
to
make
some
hard
adjustments
to
our
budget
due
to
the
economic
shutdown.
In
addition,
many
of
the
plans
laid
out
in
the
already
approved
grant
applications
were
not
conducive
to
the
socially
distant
environment
required
by
the
emergency
directives.
At
that
time,
we
fast
forward
to
august
of
2020.
The
committee
met
to
receive
a
full
update
from
the
census
bureau
and
to
re-engage
our
committee
and
subcommittee
members
in
these
efforts.
H
As
social
distancing
measures
began
to
allow
for
more
interaction,
albeit
with
appropriate
ppe
in
september.
2020.
Ongoing
litigation
at
the
time
began
to
cause
confusion
over
the
official
end
date
of
the
census.
The
lieutenant
governor
asked
the
committee
members
to
host
weekends
of
action
in
the
month
of
september
to
promote
the
census
as
much
as
possible
during
the
known
final
days
of
the
2020
census
in
september.
H
The
park
county
school
district
was
an
incredible
partner
as
well
among
all
of
the
other
events
that
they
had
scheduled
and
worked
out
with
the
census
bureau.
They
also
sent
out
communications
to
each
of
their
families,
encouraging
them
to
complete
their
census.
Three
square
and
the
food
bank
of
northern
nevada,
both
sitting
members
of
our
committee
and
subcommittees
collaborated
with
the
census
bureau,
in
scheduling
hundreds
of
events
across
the
state
for
outreach
and
census
completion
purposes.
H
Census
takers
were
present
at
food
distribution
events
so
that
those
present
could
complete
their
census
on
site
september
18th,
the
lieutenant
governor
recorded
a
video
encouraging
families
to
complete
their
census.
Clark,
county
school
district
as
well
as
pershing
county
school
district,
presented
this
video
to
every
studies,
history
and
government
teacher.
So
they
could
present
it
to
their
students
to
inform
and
motivate
them
to
ensure
their
family
was
also
counted.
H
The
lieutenant
governor
called
every
mayor
across
the
state
of
nevada
and
ask
them
to
reach
out
to
their
residents
in
any
way
in
order
to
motivate
them
to
complete
their
census.
The
lieutenant
governor
was
in
las
vegas
september
19th
and
20th.
For
a
weekend
of
action.
We
scheduled
census
takers
from
the
u.s
census
bureau
to
be
present
at
a
few
of
the
cardenas
markets
in
east
las
vegas
assemblywoman
sandra
haudegee,
along
with
other
members
of
the
hispanic
caucus,
as
well
as
nevada
state
college
mifamilia
vota
and
make
it
work.
H
H
On
september
26,
through
september
27th,
we
secured
an
emergency
contract
which
allowed
us
to
deploy
a
texting
and
robocall
outreach
effort.
We
targeted
zip
codes
with
the
lowest
response
rates
in
clark,
county
and
washoe.

Seven
in
washoe,
we
targeted
eight
nine
five
zero

and
eight

on
october.
First,
the
fourteen
zip
codes
we
targeted
in
clark
were
as
follows:
eight

H
We
were
in
the
process
of
planning
our
last
weekends
of
action.
For
the
final
weeks
of
october,
when
the
supreme
court
ruling
was
announced,
this
ruling
allowed
the
administration
to
end
the
census,
count
16
days
early
census,
enumeration
wrapped
on
october
15th
at
11,
59,
hawaii,
standard
time
or
2.
H
Lastly,
I
want
to
say
for
the
record
that
our
committee
and
subcommittee
members,
those
75
nevadans,
who
gave
their
time
to
us
these
past
16
months,
did
so
wholeheartedly
paralleling
these
members
every
week
asking
them
to
push
their
plans
further
and
to
immerse
the
census
bureau
deeper
into
the
community
was
no
easy
feat,
but
we
did
so
with
what
we
had
with
the
time
and
resources
that
we
had.
This
was
a
collaborative
effort
across
the
state.
The
pandemic
certainly
made
life
difficult
for
us
more
than
we
could
have
ever
imagined.
H
A
Thank
you
so
much.
I
just
want
to
express
my
deepest
appreciation
to
everyone
in
your
office.
All
of
your
partner
groups.
I
think
we
saw
in
the
previous
reports
what
a
fabulous
job
was
done,
especially
in
such
trying
times.
I
know
you're
all
totally
committed
to
getting
the
best
census
count
that
you
could
under
the
circumstances-
and
I
I
think
you
certainly
accomplished
that
so
from
me.
A
Thank
you
so
very
very
much
and
please
extend
that
to
everyone
as
you
wrap
up
your
your
business
with
all
of
your
partner
groups,.
A
Before
we
move
on
any
community
members
have
any
comments
regarding
ms
lopez's
report.
A
C
Governor's
office,
they
did
a
wonderful
job,
overseeing
the
the
complete
count
committee
throughout
the
process,
and
especially
ms
lopez.
It
was
just
she
did
a
wonderful
job,
making
sure
that
every
single.
C
A
Thank
you.
One
question,
miss
lopez.
Could
you
provide
your
remarks
to
mr
stewart,
so
we
have
those
for
the
record.
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we
all
have
that
information
so
that
we
don't
let
it
get
past
us.
So
if
you
could
send
that
over
to
him,
that
would
be
really
appreciated
again.
Thank
you.
So
much
any
other
questions
from
committee
members
or
comments.
E
Thank
you,
catherine
bartlett,
for
the
record.
Can
you
hear
me
okay,.
E
We
are
projecting
another
32
000
to
be
spent
for
the
final
contract
for
texting,
outreach
and
then
the
census
website,
as
we
wind
that
down-
and
we
will
eventually
take
that
completely
down
about
590
000-
was
spent
on
contracted
staff
and
associated
costs.
Those
costs
would
include
email
and
phone
and
certain
supplies
we
hired
a
total
of
40
positions,
including
the
statewide
coordinator,
regional
coordinators,
digital
coordinator,
organizers,
administrative
support
and
demographer
support.
E
E
E
20
228
was
issued
in
grants
to
four
entities
and
they
used
the
funding
for
mailing
out
marketing
materials,
texting
and
mass
messaging,
as
well
as
swag
as
ms
lopez
presented.
Several
of
these
grants
were
not
able
to
be
issued
to
the
awarding
agencies
due
to
covid19
and
the
shutdown
of
various
businesses
and
events,
and
then,
after
projected
expenditures,
we
expect
to
spend
approximately
62
000
on
the
census
website
and
that
included
building
it
developing
editing
along
the
way.
E
E
A
A
I
don't
see
any
so.
Thank
you
so
much,
and
I
do
want
to
extend
our
appreciation
to
ms
lopez
and
to
miss
bartlett
on
in
having
to
readjust
our
our
agenda
today
a
little
bit.
I
know
that
we
ended
up
pushing
you
towards
the
end
of
the
agenda,
so
we
appreciate
you
sticking
around
and
and
making
your
reports.
E
A
Okay,
that
will
be
the
end
of
that
agenda
item
and
we
have
a
bit
of
a
procedural
announcement
to
make
before
we
move
on
to
agenda
item
number
seven,
and
this
is
regarding
our
second
public
comment.
So
for
those
who
are
listening
and
wish
to
make
public
comment
today
under
the
second
public
comment
at
the
end
of
the
meeting,
we
advise
you
now
to
begin
that
process
of
calling
in
and
getting
in
the
queue
and
just
a
reminder
of
the
call-in
numbers.
A
927-0242-6353
followed
by
the
pound
sign
and
then
we're
going
to
move
on
to
agenda
item
number
seven,
which
is
an
update
on
redis
searching
software
and
hardware
and
gis
staff
for
the
2021,
reapportionment
and
redistricting
cycle.
And
we
will
welcome
back,
miss
haley
parole
and
you
may
begin
when
you
are
ready.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
for
the
record,
haley
proll
gis
analyst
and
redistricting
gis
specialist.
So
I'm
going
to
give
a
very
brief
update
on
the
redistricting
software
accompanying
hardware
and
the
gis
staff
hiring
for
the
2021
redistricting
cycle
during
the
second
meeting
of
this
committee
in
may,
the
purchase
of
redistricting
software
and
hardware
and
the
hiring
of
four
session
higher
gis
technicians
to
support
each
legislative
caucus
were
discussed
and
approved.
D
So
the
following
is
an
update
of
each
area,
including
estimated
hardware,
delivery
dates,
software
arrival
and
support
dates
and
sessions.
Gis
technicians
start
dates
and
working
environments,
so,
starting
with
the
redistricting
software
autobound
edge,
redistricting
software
has
been
ordered
through
city
gate
gis.
The
licenses
and
one
year
of
technical
support
and
maintenance
begins
on
november
2nd
2020.
D
Orders
are
normally
received
in
one
to
three
weeks
time,
so
the
hardware
should
be
in-house
before
december,
printers
have
been
difficult
to
find
in
stock
and
we
are
hoping
to
have
them
sometime.
In
november
the
gis
technician
job
announcement
was
posted
at
the
beginning
of
october
and
will
close
early
november.
D
D
So
we
did
postpone
purchasing
the
software
and
hardware
and
starting
the
hiring
process
for
the
technicians
as
late
in
the
year
as
we
could,
but
we
decided
to
start
the
process
on
everything
to
be
prepared
in
the
event
that
we
do
get
the
redistricting
data
by
the
original
deadline
of
march
30th
2021,
and
so
that's
about
it.
For
me
and
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank.
A
Everyone
is
very
quiet
today
I
don't
see
any
so.
Thank
you,
miss
paul.
I
know
that
you
all
have
a
a
big
job
on
your
hands.
I
certainly
appreciate
all
the
work
that
you're
going
through
in
getting
the
hardware
the
software,
the
technicians
onboard,
so
that
we'll
be
ready
to
roll
when
it
is
time
to
do
all
that.
A
So
again,
thank
you
for
all
of
your
hard
work
on
this
next
we're
going
to
agenda
item
number
11,
which
is
public
comments,
and
we've
asked
our
individuals
who
wish
to
come
in
under
public
comment
to
have
moved
and
made
those
contacts
via
phone,
but
I'll
just
read
out
the
numbers
again:
669
900-6833
and
then
the
meeting
id
number
is
927-0242-6353,
followed
by
the
pound
sign,
so
we're
going
to
take
a
short
break
and
then
a
couple
of
minutes-
and
I
don't
want
members
to
go
very
far
and
as
soon
as
we
have
speakers
in
the
queue
we
will,
we
will
continue
with
public
comment.
A
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
so
with
that
we'll
close
public
comments
and
we'll
move
to
agenda
item
