A
Well
good
morning,
I
believe
we're
we're
live
and
welcome
to
the
ifc
second
ifc
of
this
legislative
session,
and
I
would
like
to
remind
everyone
that
we've
got
a
dense
agenda
right
in
the
middle
of
session.
We
have
a
joint
full
after
this
and
real
real
quick
one,
and
so
I
need
to
move
through
this
as
quick
as
quickly
and
as
efficiently
as
possible,
so
that
we
can
actually
get
the
business
our
other
business
done
today.
A
A
If
I
move
past
something
to
just
voice,
raise
your
voice
and
we'll
stop
and
I'll
recognize
you
and
right
after
this
right
after
this
ifc,
we
will
adjourn
and
we'll
have
to
give
broadcast
services
and
staff
some
time
to
switch
over
to
the
other
one
just
to
stay
put
and
we're
going
to
go
to
a
joint
poll
right
after
that
of
the
joint
full
of
senate
finance
and
assembly
ways
and
means,
and
so
please
you
know,
don't
go
too
far,
because
we're
going
to
need
to
start
right
up
so
that
we
can
get
our
other
business
and
floor
done
today.

The
next
agenda
item
is

Here
and
please
mark

canazzaro
president

and
that
will
jump
right
into
the
agenda
the
agenda.
The
first
agenda
item
is
public
comment.
There
will
be
on
ifs
ifc.
A
We
do
a
public
comment
here
in
the
beginning
and
at
the
end,
because
of
time
constraints
today
we're
going
to
limit
public
comment
to
no
more
than
15
minutes
and
and
and
each
member
will
or
excuse
me,
each
member
of
the
the
public
who
calls
in
we
want
to
limit
to
two
minutes
each
when
they
give
their
public
comment.

During
the
2019
session,
nsa
pushed
for
greater
accountability
for
charter
schools,
while
our
proposal
to
cap
charter
school
expansion
was
not
successful,
the
legislature
passed
a
five-year
growth
management
plan
for
charters.
Interestingly
enough,
while
the
charter
school
authority
was
developing
this
growth
management
plan,
they
approved
nearly
5
000
new
charter
slots.
F
This
past
week
we
found
that
charter
school
slots
are
projected
to
increase
8.6
in
fiscal
year
22
and
a
whopping
15.9
percent
in
fiscal
year
23,
while
enrollment
in
neighborhood
public
schools
remains
relatively
stagnant.
While
the
charter
school
authority
has
done
some
improvement
since
last
session,
including
actually
conducting
site
visits.
Let's
be
honest
with
each
other.
The
charter
school
authority
is
only
now
clearing.
A
relatively
low
bar
of
accountability
lost.
Greater
charter.
School
authority
has
begun
to
address
the
baked
in
biases
against
disadvantaged
students.
F
When
looking
at
overall
chartered
student
populations
charter,
schools
still
served
as
proportionately
fewer
at-risk
students,
english
learners
and
students
with
disabilities,
even
with
progress
on
more
diversity
and
new
charter
seats,
there
is
no
path
for
charters
to
achieve
parity
in
the
foreseeable
future.
But,
what's
most
concerning
is
the
behavior
of
many
charter
schools
during
the
pandemic,
who
claim
to
be
public
schools
when
it's
convenient
and
something
else
when
it's
not.
F
According
to
a
december
24th
article
in
the
nevada,
current
nevada
charter,
schools
took
31
million
dollars
in
forgivable
loans
from
the
paycheck
protection
program
in
2020..
This
included
4.6
million
dollar
loan
to
doral
academy
and
a
4.6
million
dollar
loan
to
pinecrest.
F
These
federal
funds
were
not
available
to
neighborhood
public
schools,
who
got
hit
with
major
cuts
during
last
summer's
special
session
during
the
darkest
days
of
the
pandemic
charter.
Schools
gaining
the
system
by
triple
dipping
taking
state
funds
per
pupil
funds
and
care
care,
tax
funds
and
ppp.
I'm
sorry,
while
playing
by
their
own
set
of
rules.

and,
mr

D
Thank

Good
morning,
everyone
wayne
thorley
lcb
fiscal
analysis,
division
I'll
be
going
through
list
c
and
indicating
which
items
fiscal
staff
has
identified
for
discussion.
D
There
are
also
two
items
that
have
been
withdrawn.
I'll
note,
though,
starting
on
the
first
page
of
list
c
item
c5,
the
judicial
discipline
discipline
commission
has
been
withdrawn.
D
D
D
I
will
also
note
that
on
the
informational
items
list,
which
is
list,
g
staff
has
not
recommended
any
items
from
the
informational
item
list
be
pulled
for
additional
discussion.
A
Thank
you,
mr
thorley.
Do
the
committee
members
have
any
additional
items
they
would
like
pulled
for
discussion
either
from
the
work
program
list
with
c
or
the
informational
item
list
and
that's
list
g
sure.
First
up,
I
think
I
have
assembly
woman,
titus.
I
A
I
I
believe
I
also
have
assembly
men
roberts.
Yes,.
J
F
J
J
K
A
G
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
item
20.
H
C
Thank
you,
chair
brooks
item
18
and
dr
tyus
already
had
us
pull
83,
so
those
were
my
two
so
just
adding
c18.
Thank.
C
A
And
and
thoroughly,
if
it's
possible,
if
you
could,
if
you
could
give
us
that
list
of
all
of
the
items
that
we'll
be
pulling,
including
stat
the
ones
we've
identified
with
staff
as
well
as
the
ones
the
members
just
requested,.
D
Certainly,
mr
chair,
so
I
have
item
c15
c17,
c18,
c20,
c50,
c56,
c58,
c60,
c66,.
G
I
had
thought
that
assemblywoman
titus
had
requested
c62.
If
that
was
not
on
her
list,
I
would
like
to
talk
about
62
as
well.
Only
300
million
dollars.
A
So
c62
as
well,
okay,
well,
this
ifc
meeting
just
got
long
so
keep
in
mind
that
we
we
do
need
to
move
through
this
agenda
as
quickly
and
as
efficiently
as
possible,
and-
and
so,
if
you
can
keep
your
questions
and
and
and
or
comments
as
efficient
and
succinct
as
possible,
it
would
be
appreciated
by
the
committee.
A
A
So
I
have
a
motion
from
carlton
in
a
second
from
senator
dennis
we
have
any
discussion
on
that.
A
A
All
right
with
no
discussion
on
that
motion,
miss
kaufman.
You
please
take
a
roll
call
vote.
D
D
J
C
E
F
A
I,
if,
if
we
get
to
a
situation
where
we
run
out
of
time,
we
can
recess
and
come
back,
and
so
if
this
gets
to
be
too
long
and
we
have
to
keep
the
business
of
the
day
running
it'll
turn
into
a
long
night
in
ifc.
So
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
that
we
have
some
options
so
I'll
start
with.
If
we
could
we'll
start
working
through
the
list
and
we'll
start
with
items,
c15
and
and
then
we'll
go
to
c17,
and
so
let's,
let's
go
with
c15.
M
Good
morning
for
the
record,
heidi
hearts,
I
serve
as
the
deputy
superintendent
for
business
and
support
services
at
the
nevada
department
of
education
agenda.
Item
number.
15
is
a
work
program
that
seeks
to
utilize
revenue
from
the
governor's
emergency
education
relief
fund
or
gear
to
expand
services
available
through
infinite
campus.
M
The
funding
requested
would
allow
us
to
expand
the
services
available
through
campus
to
serve
both
the
department
of
education,
our
school
districts
and
our
charter
schools
by
adding
four
premium
product
suites
to
our
services.
That
would
include
campus
workflow
campus
analytics
campus
learning
and
online
registration
opportunities
through
their
prime
account.
A
Thank
you
miss
hearts.
I
I
do
believe
that
we,
we
have
a
question.
I
believe
senator
daryl
luke
does.
C
Thank
you
very
much
chair
brooks.
I
do
have
a
couple
questions
that
I'd
just
like
some
clarification
on,
and
would
you
just
give
us
some
information
on
how
the
use
of
infinite
campus
would
that
data
would
improve
the
identification
of
at-risk
at-risk
pupils.
N
Mr
chair
senator
john
darrell,
this
is
dr
jonathan
moore,
deputy
superintendent
of
student
achievement
for
the
record
in
response
to
the
question.
So
campus
analytics
includes
a
variety
of
indicators
that
are
used
to
determine
a
student's
readiness
as
they
progress
toward
graduation
and
so,
together.
All
of
those
factors,
as
data
is
inputted
into
infinite
campus.
N
They
they
the
variables,
then
the
variables
then
are
entered
into
the
model,
which
then
creates
a
score
that
helps
determine
a
student's
trajectory
toward
graduation.
What
that
score
does
is
it
allows
school
districts
and
schools
to
be
able
to
determine
what
necessary
supports
and
interventions
are
needed
to
ensure
that
that
student
is
moving
on
pace
toward
graduation.
N
A
Yes,
the
invite
senator
kikifer
go
ahead.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
G
Thank
you,
dr
moore,
so
our
staff
indicates
that
the
exact
actual
calculations
for
how
we're
going
to
be
determining
at-risk
students,
though,
is
is,
is
proprietary.
Is
that
accurate,
like
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
see
how
we're
actually
calculating
how
many
at-risk
students
were
funding
through
the
new
formula.
N
Dr
moore,
for
the
record,
so
while
the
methodology
is
proprietary,
there
are
indicators
that
we
know
that
take
into
account
on
the
ability
to
generate
this
grad
score
things
such
as
a
student's
behavior.
So
as
incidents
of
behavior
are
entered
into
the
system
that
plays
a
part
in
the
algorithm,
either
household
demographics.
If
a
student
identifies
as
homeless,
for
example
or
experiencing
homeless,
excuse
me
student
engagement,
so
the
degree
to
which
a
student
is
regularly
attending
school
as
well
as
grades
and
any
other
academic
data.
N
Dr
moore,
for
the
record,
that
is
correct,
so
they
all
work
in
concert
in
order
to
identify
a
student's
score
based
on
their
determination
for
readiness
toward
graduation.
G
N
This
is
dr
moore
for
the
record,
so
in
our
conversation
with
infinite
campus,
yes,
there
is
evidence
that
the
algorithm
measures,
in
fact,
what
it's
designed
to
it,
is
in
use
in
other
states.
I
believe
kentucky
is
another
example
of
a
state
that
uses
this
campus
analytics
statewide
in
terms
of
the
specific
algorithm
it
is
proprietary,
and
so
we
are
privy
to
the
indicators
that
comprise
the
algorithm,
but
the
exact
formula
behind
the
curtain.
If
you
will
is
proprietary,
but
yes,
there
is
evidence
on
that.
It
does
work,
it
is
used
statewide
and
kentucky
also.
A
I
believe
I
had
a
question
from
receivers
cancer
is
that
correct.
C
Mr
chair,
so
I
have
a
question
on
on
18,
not
not
on
this
one,
but
I
do
appreciate
the
questions
that
have
been
asked
in
the
responses.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
great
and
I
believe.
O
I
thank
you
so
much
so
I
guess
I
was
wondering
if
you
could
tell
us
a
little
bit
more
about
the
record
attendance.
This
has
been
an
issue
this
year.
I
know
just
in
reviewing
my
children's
attendance.
O
They
look
like
ones
who
have
that
over
that
threshold
of
chronic
of
attendance,
but
it's
there
were,
I
think,
three
different
ways
of
calculating
attendance
that
were
used
by
school
districts
or
the
department
at
different
times
during
the
year,
and
so
would
this
goal
to
be
to
get
us
to
kind
of
one
consistent
method
to
electronically
count.
N
This
is
dr
moore
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
the
question
assemblywoman,
so
part
of
what
we're
requesting
with
regard
to
the
four
premium
products.
One
includes
a
campus
workflow
suite,
and
what
that
is
designed
to
do
is
that's
designed
to
help
improve
on
the
accuracy
of
tracking
student
attendance,
as
well
as
improve
efficiencies
within
local
schools
and
districts
around
how
they
process
attendance.
So
it
is
the
hope
that
that
particular
feature
will
assist
and
aid
in
the
effort
to
better
account
attendance.
O
N
Dr
moore,
for
the
record
that
is
correct,
assemblywoman
as
they
move
through
the
local
school
district
or
shift
schools.
Yes,
that's
correct.
O
I
appreciate
that
and
then
the
last
thing,
I'm
just
echoing
what
senator
key
kepper
said
about
the
campus
analytics,
because
we
work
so
hard
in
the
state
to
try
to
when
we
talk
about
policy
and
we
talk
about
what
successful
learning
is
try
to
set
metrics
in
policy
to
that.
So
like
what
does
it
mean
to
be
chronically
absent?
And
what
is
that
number
of
you
know,
kids,
who
are
missing
days
before
you
kind
of
fall
into
that
category
being
declared
at
risk
and
and
different
things
like
that.
N
A
A
M
A
I,
who
was
that
motion
from
I
apologize,
I
didn't
see.
A
Of
a
motion
from
senator
loop
and
a
second
from
vice
chair
carlton,
any
discussion
on
that
motion.
Senator
kieckoffer.
G
G
I
think
you
know
this
move
to
a
weighted
funding
formula
or
to
appeal
to
the
pupil
centered
funding
formula
to
target
additional
interventions
for
at-risk
pupils
is
is
critical
as
we
move
forward
and
being
unable
to
understand
how
people
get
identified
as
at
risk,
knowing
that
it's
some
combination
of
many
factors
that
some
cuticles
may
fit
into
some
may
not
just
doesn't
allow
us
to
do
our
job
and
for
that
reason,.
L
And
thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
I
I
I
can
kind
of
understand
where
senator
kick
upper
is
coming
from,
but
you
know:
infinite
campuses
has
been
around
for
a
while
we're
moving
forward.
There
will
was
my
understanding.
There
are
some
things
we
will
be
able
to
get,
and
I
I
think
the
majority
leader
put
it
very
well
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
our
policy
and
our
data
analytics
go
together
and
I
have
not
seen
anything
yet.
L
So
it's
not
like
you
know,
I'm
all
the
way
in
the
boat
on
it
yet
so,
but
on
this,
in
this
particular
case,
I
I
believe
we've
we've
addressed
the
concern,
so
I
have
no
problem
with
it
moving
forward,
but
I
I
do
understand
where
some
of
the
concerns
are,
but
I
know
that
there
are
some
things
that
through
this
process-
and
it's
it's
not
new,
our
this
is
just
the
way
that
the
system
is
set
up.
So
I'm
I'm
fine
with
this
moving
forward.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
vice
chair
carlton.
I
I
feel
the
same
way
and
I
appreciate
that.
A
Encapsulating
that
argument
and
do
I
have
any
other
discussion
on
the
motion,
verse
item
c15.
C
J
E
B
A
Yes-
and
I
did
not
hear
senator
donderol
lupe's
reply.
M
The
department
is
requesting
permission
to
obligate
these
funds
for
fiscal
year
2022,
because
there
is
a
requirement
from
the
federal
government
that
all
funds
awarded
to
the
states
through
the
gear
fund
be
awarded
within
one
year
of
the
state.
Having
received
that
allocation,
and
we
are
coming
up
on
that
date
very
quickly.
That
will
be
within
the
first
week
of
may
again.
The
methodology
that
was
used
to
identify
the
funding
amount
was
based
on
the
amount
of
victory
and
zoom
funding
that
were
previously
braided
to
support
pre-k
seats.
M
As
we
move
forward
with
the
implementation
of
the
pupil-centered
funding
plan,
funding
that
was
previously
designated
for
at-risk
students
and
english
language
learners
will
be
allocated
through
the
pupil
center
funding
plan
and
targets
grades
k
through
12,
not
pre-k.
With
that,
we
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
O
Yes,
thank
you
chair.
My
question
is,
and-
and
this
has
been
people
are
concerned
about
these
programs,
would
the
funding
be
provided
only
to
those.
M
M
Heidi
hearts
for
the
record,
our
staff
in
the
office
of
early
learning
and
development
worked
with
each
of
the
sub-recipients
who
currently
provide
state-funded
pre-k
services
across
the
state
to
identify
how
much
funding
from
zoom
and
victory
had
been
used
to
support
pre-k
services
that
generated
that
dollar
value,
which
is
the
amount
that
we're
looking
to
continue
to
support
in
fiscal
year.
2022
using
these
federal
funds.
A
Thank
you,
and,
and
so
just
wanted
to.
Are
there
any
further
questions
from
the
committee
for
on
item
c17.
C
Thank
you,
so
just
so,
this
is
a
restoration
is.
Would
this
be
a
restoration
of
funds
that
were
cut
before.
M
Heidi
hearts
for
the
record,
these
are
the
funds
that
were
previously
invested
to
support
pre-k
seats
as
we
move
forward
with
the
implementation
of
the
people-centered
funding
plan.
This
type
of
braided
funding
would
not
be
available
to
support
pre-k
seats
because
the
funding
that
was
previously
used
for
zoom
and
victory
would
be
allocated
through
the
pupil
centered
funding
plan,
which
targets
students
in
grades
k
through
12..
M
So
it
is
ensuring
that
we
have
funding
to
maintain
what
is
currently
in
place
in
the
state
for
pre-k
services.
I'm
understanding
that
the
ability
to
use
what
are
currently
considered,
zoom
and
victory
funds
will
change
as
we
move
into
the
next
biennium
with
the
implementation
of
the
pupil
centered
funding
plan.
C
A
Any
further
questions
on
c17.
L
Forward
to,
but
it
hasn't
been
proved
yet
in
in
this
session,
so
this
is
a
bit
of
a
transition
period.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know,
as
we
do
this,
that
this
will
all
transition
over
to
what
the
legislature
will
be
deciding
on
this
in
the
future.
M
It
appears
that
the
pre-k
budget
account
is
scheduled
to
be
closed
on
april
27th,
and
so
the
department
believes,
if
this
work
program
were
approved,
that
we
could
do
some
sub
grant
agreements
very
quickly
to
obligate
these
funds,
as
required
by
the
federal
funding
requirements
by
within
the
one
year
window
that
we
have
before
any
unextended
or
unobligated
funds.
Excuse
me,
unobligated
funds
would
have
to
revert
to
the
federal
government.
L
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Vice
chair,
carlton
assemblywoman
benitez
thompson.
Do
you
still
have
a
question.
O
A
Thank
you,
and
so
do
any
of
the
other
committee.
Members
have
a
question
on
mc17.
A
Seeing
no
more
questions
on
c17,
I
would
be
looking
for
a
a
motion
to
approve
the
item,
but-
and
this
is
based
upon
the
the
what
vice
chair,
carlton,
just
asked
and
and
the
timing
associated
with
when
the
funds
have
to
be
obligated,
as
well
as
when
we're
going
to
come
up
with
the
the
the
methodology
to
to
use
those
funds.
A
So
I
would
look
for
a
motion
to
approve
and
and
direct
the
department
to
allocate
this
funding
based
on
the
final
distribution
methodology
approved
by
the
2021
legislature
for
the
state
pre-k
program.
A
I
have
a
motion
from
vice
chair
carlton
and
a
second
from
senator
dennis
discussion
on
the
motion.
Senator
kieckoffer.
G
A
Seeing
none,
I
have
a
motion
and
a
second
miss
kaufman.
Will
you
please
take
roll
or
roll
call
vote.
C
J
J
J
C
A
Thank
you,
miss
kaufman,
and
that
brings
us
to
the
next
item
and
that
was
item
18
and
department
of
education
still,
and
so
we
could
go
through
item
18.
M
I
would
note
that
this
work
program
is
what
we
would
refer
to
as
an
annual
true
up,
where
we
are
balancing
forward
unexpended
funds
from
the
previous
fiscal
year
into
this
fiscal
year,
so
that
we
can
expend
the
funds
in
accordance
with
the
budgets
of
the
federal
grant
application.
With
that
we'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
have.
A
Thank
you,
miss
hearts.
Do
we
have
any
questions
from
the
committee
on
and
senator
seaver's
cancer.
C
Thank
you
chairman.
I
just
wanted
to
check
in
on
this
program
and
understand
a
little
bit
more
of
the
demand
and
and
if
this
is
enough
funding
or
if
we
should
be
looking
at
potentially
adding.
I
understand
this
is
a
grant
that
I
want
to
know
about
the
demand
side
and,
if
we're
serving
her
for
everyone
we
can
or
if
we
have
a
wait
list
for
services.
Thank
you.
C
More
providers
in
to
provide
services
on
a
monthly
basis,
our
goal
is
to
also
not
only
have.
C
A
I
see
none,
so
I
look
for
a
motion
to
approve
item
c18.
B
J
C
G
E
F
A
Passes
all
right,
thank
you,
miss
kaufman,
that
that
will
bring
us
to
our
next
item
still
in
department
of
education
item
20.
M
Heidi
hearts,
for
the
record,
this
work
program
is
also
a
true
up
of
a
federal
grant,
so
this
would
seek
to
add
approximately
24.3
million
dollars
in
federal
21st
century
learners,
federal
funding,
which
would
allow
the
department
to
continue
providing
academic
enrichment
opportunities
during
non-school
hours.
Again.
This
is
an
annual
process
that
we
use
for
all
federal
grants
within
the
department
of
education
balancing
forward
any
unexpended
funds
from
the
previous
year.
With
that
we'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
regarding
this
work
program.
A
Thank
you,
miss
hearts
and,
I
believe,
senator
sivers
cancer.
This
is
one
that
you
had
a
question
on
as
well.
I
think
this
was
me,
mr
chairman,
appreciate
it
senator
claire.
G
Keycopter,
I'm
sorry,
that's
all
right
and
I
think
it's
hard
to
answer
my
question.
This
is
an
increase.
I
think
original
authority
was
six
million
and
this
pulls
in
another
24..
So
I
guess-
and
I
think
you'd
indicated
that
unexpended
funds
could
be
balanced
forward.
So
we
expect
a
big
chunk
of
this
to
be
balanced
into
fiscal
year
22
that
could
be
used
to
support
things
like
summer
school
in
the
coming
recession.
M
Heidi
hearts,
for
the
record.
Yes,
when
we
have
federal
grants
available
to
us,
we
often
balance.
We
always
balance
forward
any
unexpended
funds
into
the
next
fiscal
year.
That's
not
an
uncommon
business
practice,
because
many
federal
grants
are
funded
on
a
federal
fiscal
year
and
so
that
we
still
have
several
months
remaining
in
our
expenditure
period.
G
A
M
Thank
you
so
much
chair-
and
I
was
just
curious-
is
this:
would
we
have
received
this
with
or
without
the
pandemic.
N
Mr
chair,
this
is
dr
moore
for
the
record
to
the
assembly
women's
questions.
So
each
year
the
state
of
nevada
receives
an
approximate
nine
million
dollar
allocation
and
we
have
been
a
twenty
first
century
state
for
the
better
part
of
approximately
six
years,
and
so,
while
the
funds
can
support
learning
loss,
they
are
a
complement
to
the
other
funds
that
nevada
is
receiving.
In
response
to
the.
A
Thank
you
assemblywoman
tools
and
thank
you,
dr
moore,
for
the
response.
Any.
A
I
see
no
other
questions
on
item
c20,
so
we're
looking
for
a
motion
to
approve
c20.
A
And
a
second
from
senator
dennis
any
discussion
on
the
motion.
A
I
see
no
discussion
on
the
motion
so
miss
kaufman.
Will
you
take
roll
call
vote.
D
A
J
C
E
F
A
Thank
you,
miss
kaufman.
That
brings
us
to
and
and
thank
you,
the
team
from
the
department
of
education
for
for
answering
our
questions
today
and,
and
that
takes
us
to
the
next
item:
c50
from
the
department
of
health
and
human
services,
the
aging
and
disability
services,
home
and
community
based
services.
C
So
items
50,
56,
58
and
60
are
all
asking
for
additions
of
federal
dollars
into
these
budgets
due
to
the
6.2
percent,
federal
medic,
federal
medic,
medical
assistance
percentage
or
fmap
increase
due
to
the
family.
First
coronavirus
response
act.
A
Yeah
assemblyman
titus
and
if
you
want
to,
while
we
have
the
agency,
if
you
want
to
do
50,
56
and
58
and
kind
of
they're,
all
kind
of
linked
together.
And
so
if
you
want
to
view
those
as
one
question
or
thank.
I
You
and
that's
exactly
where
I
was
going
with
this
for
50,
56,
50
and
60,
and
thank
you
for
being
here
today.
This
is
all
under
your
department.
The
department
of
human
services,
aging
and
disability
services,
and
the
reason
I
asked
for
these
to
be
pulled
was
because
the
statement
we
we
recognized
during
the
special
session
that
there
was
a
projection
that
the
f
map
that
six
percent
increase
was
going
to
be
indeed
extended,
but
we
couldn't
be
sure,
and
so
now
we
are
witnessing
that.
I
Indeed
it
was
extended
your
your
argument
with
these
all
of
these
actually
is.
It
says
that
the
work
program
reverts
the
additional
general
fund
that
will
be
saved
by
the
increased
medicaid
revenues.
So
I
wanted
to
go
on
record
saying
with
each
one
of
these.
Then
I've
done
the
math
of
what
you
have
there.
It's
about
an
additional
two
million
dollars
that
then
will
revert
back
into
the
general
fund
because
now
we
have
had
this
f
map
extended,
and
it's
been
documented
that
we
do
have
those
monies
correct.
I
A
Thank
you,
assemblyman
titus,
do
any
of
the
other
committee
members
have
a
question
on
one.
O
Yes,
yeah,
I
do
I,
oh
sorry,
assemblywoman
benitez
thompson.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
You
know
this.
I
think
that's
an
interesting
question
and
I
think,
as
well
as
interesting,
is
how
we
have
to
think
about
how
the
cuts
in
the
summer
that
we
implemented
how
the
extension
of
f
map
and
then
subsequent
extensions
kind
of
actually
end
up
playing
out.
So
they,
the
reductions
that
we
put
in
place
for
the
summer,
are
actually
not
reductions
that
have
hit
yet
to
the
providers.
C
Just
adam
so
for
these
particular
budgets,
item
number
50,
which
is
the
home
and
community
based
services
program,
so
that
is
for
our
waivers
for
people
of
physical
disabilities
or
the
frail
elderly.
There
are
providers
in
that
category
that
did
have
the
six
percent
rate
reduction.
C
O
I
I
might
mr
chair,
I
think
the
next
one
will
be
62
and
that
one
would
involve
providing
the
providers
that
we
were
concerned
about.
A
Thank
you
for
that
clarification.
I
appreciate
that.
Do
any
of
the
members
have
any
questions
on
item
50,
56,
58
or
60,
and
we're
taking
those
together
as
as
a
group
because
they're
all
interconnected.
I
Mr
chair,
yes,
if
you're
ready,
I
would
move
to
prove
50
56,
58
and
60.
A
I
I
would
accept
that
motion
in
a
second
second,
I
think
senator
dennis
second,
and
is
there
any
discussion
on
that
motion.
L
Thank
you,
and
you
know
it
was
brought
up
that
some
of
these
decisions
were
made
under
ab3
of
the
special
session
and
we
all
had
to
make
decisions
based
on
hard
facts
and
what
we
were
looking
at
moving
forward.
I
know
there
was
a
lot
of
concern
during
the
special
session
on
making
these
cuts,
because
everyone
felt
very
strongly
about
that
money
coming
in,
but
you
don't
spend
money
that
you
don't
have
in
your
hand.
L
So
that's
why
these
cuts
were
made
in
order
to
balance
the
budget
and
deal
with
the
issues
that
were
in
front
of
us.
So
it's
really
easy
to
monday
morning
quarterback
on
some
of
these
things,
but
until
you
actually
know
what
you've
got
in
your
hand,
you
can't
make
commitments
for
it,
and
I
appreciate
the
conversation
on
and
we'll
have
more
conversations
on
the
waiver
process.
L
A
I
appreciate
you
reminding
us
all
of
what
incredible
situation
we
faced
in
the
special
session
and
some
of
the
decisions
that
we
made
to
keep
the
state
running,
and
so
I
appreciate
you
clarifying
that.
Are
there
any
other
comments
or
or
questions
just
our
discussion
on
the
motion.
A
A
J
B
E
C
C
A
A
Thank
you.
That
brings
us
to
our
next
item,
which
I
believe
is
item
62.
C
Good
morning
this
is
phil
burrell,
deputy
administrator
for
the
division
for
healthcare
financing
and
policy
with
me
is
melissa,
lewis,
our
administrative
services
officer
for
physical
services
for
item
c62.
This
work
program
requests
a
transfer
from
the
parents
and
children
category
to
the
newly
eligible
category.
C
As
a
result,
the
division
is
requesting
this
work
program
to
align
various
category
and
federal
revenue
shortfalls.
With
that
we're
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
Thank
you,
ms
morrell,
and
I
I
believe
it
was
senator
keith
had
a
question
on
this.
G
Yeah,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
appreciate
it.
I
think
I
understand
exactly
what's
going
on
and
I
understand,
though,
the
work
program
was
prepared
and
submitted
back
in
february,
so
things
may
have
changed
a
little
bit
in
terms
of
the
numbers,
but.
G
So
ultimately,
it
looks
like
we're
booking
about
306
million
dollars
in
revenue,
but
we
need
241
million
to
cover
the
the
shortfall
in
the
newly
eligible
category
is
that
is
that
right
that
we're?
So
we
have
about
306
and
we
need
about
241.
Does
that
free
up
60
something
million
65
million
dollars
to
balance
forward.
C
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Melissa
lafferlowes
for
the
record,
so
essentially
the
division
is
anticipating
a
shortfall
in
federal
revenue
of
that
306
million
dollars.
However,
it
would
not
generate
additional
reversion
funds
at
this
point.
The
division
is
anticipating
a
state
general
fund
surplus
at
the
end
of
the
state
fiscal
year.
However,
the
majority
of
those
funds
will
be
used
as
a
part
of
our
budget
reductions
for
the
next
biennial
budget.
G
G
And
then
am
I
reading
your
work
program
correctly
that,
just
in
terms
of
projected
expenditures
for
the
current
fiscal
year
we're
spending
the
newly
eligible
category
is:
has
total
expenditures
of
about
a
billion
dollars
more
than
the
mavic
category?
Is
that
right
is
it?
Has
it
shifted
that
dramatically.
C
It
has
and
sorry
melissa,
loper
lewis,
for
the
record.
It
has
increased
dramatically.
You
know
with
the
additional
maintenance
of
effort
and
the
caseload
requirements
as
part
of
the
coronavirus
relief
funds.
This
is
the
largest
population
that
we
are
seeing
increases
on.
We
are
currently
seeing
about
a
34
increase
above
level,
ledge-approved
caseloads,
so
this
is
definitely
the
largest
increase
in
our
budget.

you

you
for

health,
human
services,

and

the
communicable
disease.
P
Good
morning,
julia
peak
for
the
record
on
behalf
of
the
division
of
public
and
behavioral
health,
I'm
joined
remotely
by
tory
johnson,
and
he
oversees
our
hiv
and
aids
program
and
christina
hadwick
of
our
divisions.
Administrative
services
officer
today
we're
requesting
additional
authority
for
our
aids
drug
assistance
program
also
called
adapt
for
pharmaceutical
rebates
to
continue
to
provide
core
medical
and
support
services
to
our
clients
under
ryan
white
part
b.
I'm
happy
to
take
any
questions
you
have
or
provide
further
description.
I
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
for
being
here
again
miss
peak.
I
always
appreciate
seeing
you
and
all
that
you're
doing
for
our
state
and
your
whole
department.
I
The
reason
I
ask
that
this
be
pulled
I've
received,
I
I
can't
tell
you
the
number
of
emails
and
tweets
I
have
about
concerns
regarding
the
hiv
program
and
these
pharmacy
rebates
and
where
the
perhaps
2
500
to
3
000
clients
that
that
you
list
will
be
able
to
access
that
care,
and
I
just
wanted
a
a
description,
because
in
your
in
the
notes
for
this,
it
says
that
the
care
is
actually
given
through
nevada
hopes,
community
and
cultural
training
programs
and
southern
nevada
health
district
planned
parenthood,
washa
county
health,
district,
carson
human
services.
I
So
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
this
program
and
these
monies
are
going
to
be
this
rebate.
Monies
will
be
actually
spread
throughout
this
state
because
there
was
some
concern
that
they'll
only
be
able
to
get
their
treatment
through
one
program.
One
company
and
I
just
needed
some
clarification.
P
Thank
you
chair
for
letting
me
answer
the
question.
Julia
peek
again
for
the
record.
The
rebates
are
incredibly
complicated,
so
I'm
going
to
try
not
to
get
in
the
weeds
and
I'll
be
high
level.
Yes,
so
all
of
the
entities
that
you
named
do
receive
funds
through
this
program
to
provide
direct
services.
Our
division
does
not
provide
direct
services.
We
provide
the
funding
for
that
to
happen
throughout
the
state.
P
One
of
the
things
that
we
were
seeing
in
late
2019
is
that
the
rebates
we
were
realizing
versed
on
program
utilization
was
getting
smaller
so
that
different,
so
our
expenses
were
going
up
and
our
income
was
going
down
related
to
rebates.
After
investigation,
we
found
out
that
this
had
to
do
with
a
number
of
the
agencies
in
our
communities.
P
Turning
to
a
340
b
model,
I
mean
a
yes
a
340b
model
and
we
cannot
realize
a
rebate
if
they're
using
that
program
model
on
the
pharmaceutical
dispense,
and
so
again
we
were
seeing
that
go
down
and
we
offered
a
number
of
options
for
policy
changes.
But
as
we've
talked
about
at
prior
ifc
meetings
to
this
body,
our
community
partners
were
worried
about
that,
as
were
our
clients.
So
we
put
that
on
hold.
P
Today,
we've
requested
information
on
program
income
again
realized
through
that
program
locally.
So
we
can
understand
what
policy
implications
we
might
make
would
affect
our
community
partners.
So
we
understand
that
we
probably
will
not
pull
in
the
rebates
needed.
So
what
we've
done
in
preparation
for
this
is
we've
provided
shortened
sub
awards
to
our
community
partners
so
that
we
have
time
to
realize
those
rebates
we
don't
want
to.
We
don't
want
to
over
protect
what
we
will
award
them,
understanding
that
there
could
be
potential
cuts
coming
from
the
state
for
those
programs.
P
We
just
want
to
make
sure
that
our
clients
across
the
state
can
continue
to
get
the
services
that
they're
accustomed
to,
whether
that
be
done
locally
through
program,
income
and
agencies
or
through
the
state
again
through
rebates.
We're
not
married
to
either
option,
but
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
folks
can
continue
to
have
the
services
that
they
need.
I
Well,
thank
you
for
that.
If
I
might
follow
up
on
that,
mr
chair,
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
these
again,
I'm
actually
okay
getting
in
the
weeds
over
pharmaceutical
rebates.
I
think
it's
important
that
a
lot
of
the
members
of
this
body
are
new
for
their
first
session
on
that.
I
So
I
think
perhaps
after
we're
done
here,
I
know
we
have
a
limited
schedule
and
in
respect
of
that
that
maybe
a
little
primary
on
pharmaceutical
rebates
would
be
appropriate
to
all
of
our
members,
because
I
think
it's
important
that
they
understand
it,
because
certainly
their
constituents
will
reach
out
to
them
about
that.
I
So
I
think
some
follow
up
on
that,
and
then
the
second
thing
is
that
I
think
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that,
as
you
sort
through
these
rebates
and
as
you
decide
what
the
best
is
to
maximize
our
return-
that
at
the
same
time,
we
don't
limit
and
cut
off
some
of
these
other
resources
that
these
folks
so
desperately
need
throughout
this
entire
state
and
it's
it's
no
community
is
spared
this
horrific
disease
and
that
we
make
sure
this
access
to
care
is
really
important
and
that
this
transparency
with
these
rebates
needs
to
be
be
there.
I
So
I
have
no
further
questions.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
A
Thank
you
so
much
titus
and
any
of
the
other
committee
members
have
any
further
questions
on
this
item.
A
A
Even
if
it's
a
you
know
one
pager
on
the
mechanics,
I
think
that
that
would
be
helpful
to
the
members
when
they're
communicating
with
their
constituents,
and
so
I
would
like
to
make
that
request
as
well
and
for
the
committee
and
if
I
do
not
see
any
other
questions
on
this
item,
so
I
would
look
for
a
motion
to
approve
item
62.,
mr
chair
so
moved.
I
have
that
on
this.
Second,
second
from
your
dentist
and
stop
when
you
take
a
roll
call
vote.
C
K
C
J
M
E
B
A
Yes-
and
I
also
I
misspoke
similarly
woman
titus
made
the
motion
on
item
66.
I
think
I
said
item
62.
by
that
that
that
assemblywoman
titus
made
the
motion
on
item
66
and
senator
dennis
seconded.
That
and-
and
that
was
the
vote-
apologies
for
the
speaking
so
that
brings
to
73
and
79
and
we're
taking
those
together.
A
They
both
deal
with
ten
of
funds,
and
so
we're
gonna
take
those
together
and
if
you
go
ahead
and
walk
us
through
those,
please.
E
Sure,
good
morning,
for
the
record,
my
name
is
steve
fisher.
I
serve
as
the
administrator
for
the
division
of
welfare
and
supportive
services
and
with
me
this
morning
I
have
robert
thompson:
deputy
administrator
of
field
operations,
also
on
this
morning:
julia
pete,
deputy
administrator
from
the
division
of
public
and
behavioral
health
and
her
team.
In
case
there
are
specific
questions
about
this
program
agenda
item
73
and
79
are
requesting
157
368
dollars
in
federal,
temporary
assistance.
E
You
know
we
began
discussions
with
the
division
of
public
and
behavioral
health,
probably
back
in
july,
of
2020
talking
about
this
program,
and
certainly
I
determined
at
that
point
that
it
was
perfect
use
of
tan
of
funds
really
for
the
following
reasons.
Number
one
nevada
would
join
17
other
states
who
used
tanf
funds
to
support
their
nurse
family
partnership
program.
E
Also,
the
nurse
family
partnership
is
an
evidence-based
community
health
program
with
over
40
years
of
evidence
showing
significant
improvements
in
the
health
and
lives
of
first-time
moms
and
their
children.
Living
in
poverty
and
10
of
the
tana
program
certainly
promotes
a
two-generational
approach,
and
so
this
fits
nicely
as
well.
The
the
program
has
three
goals,
and
one
of
the
goals
aligns
really
well
and
perfectly
with
a
couple
of
tanf
goals.
E
Their
goal
is
improve.
The
economic
self-sufficiency
of
the
family
by
helping
parents
develop
a
vision
for
their
own
future
plan,
future
pregnancies
and
continue
their
education
and
find
work,
and
that
aligns
well
with
two
purposes
of
tanf,
the
first
one
being
to
provide
assistance
to
needy
families
so
that
children
may
be
cared
for
in
their
own
homes
or
in
the
homes
of
relatives
and,
secondly,
and
the
dependency
of
needy
parents
on
governmental
benefits
by
promoting
job
preparation,
work
and
marriage.
E
And
finally,
you
know,
according
to
a
2015
study
by
ted
miller,
from
the
pacific
institute,
research
and
evaluation,
the
nurse
family
partnership
services
resulted
in
lower
enrollment
in
medicaid
and
snap,
with
an
8.5
reduction
in
medicaid
costs
from
birth
to
age,
18
and
a
nine
point
percent
reduction
in
snap
costs
in
the
12
years
following
the
birth
of
the
child.
So
federal
savings
were
estimated
at
approximately
3
billion
dollars
for
the
tanf
program,
the
snap
program
and
the
medicaid
program.
E
A
Here
and
I
believe
we
have
a
question
from
assemblywoman.
O
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
fisher.
Obviously
I
think
we
are
all
excited
about
potentially
growing
this
program,
and-
and
so
I
don't
want
you
to
think
that
I
have
any
kind
of
qualitative
questions.
My
questions
are
just
more
simply
about
logistics,
so
this
particular
request
is
a
sub
grant
down
to
southern
nevada,
public
department
of
public
or
public
health,
and
then
it's
specifically
may
1
through
june
30th.
O
So
just
the
completion
of
this
fiscal
year
and
then
kind
of
like
the
same
question
I
had
for
the
department
of
education
right.
We
we
haven't
yet
closed
these
budgets
on
our
side
for
the
next
biennium.
So
I
guess,
how
do
you
imagine
that
all
playing
out
in
terms
of
continuity.
O
Yeah
like,
like,
I
guess,
hypothetically
since
we
haven't
closed
the
budgets,
there
would
be
the
prospect
that
we
might
not
that
we
might
not
have
available
funds
to
close
out
the
budgets,
the
the
way
that
they've
been
requested
or
the
shifts
and
adjustments
in
it.
So
as
we
fund
this
today
through
may
through
june,
and
then
if
we
had
any
kind
of
changes
or
july
one,
I
guess
realistically,
what
would
that
look
like
on
the
ground?
Would
that
be
hiring
people
and
bringing
them
on
board?
E
I
guess
if
there
were
some
issues
with
regards
to
closing
the
budget,
I
do
know
that
we
are
anticipating
having
tanf
reserves
at
the
end
of
this
fiscal
year.
So,
therefore,
if
there
were
some
issues
or
concerns
around
that,
we
could
certainly
perhaps
come
before
this
committee
again
with
another
work
program
for
additional
funding.
If
that
were
the
case,
if
there
were
some
issues
with
our
budget
and
budget
closing,
but
again
we
do
have,
I
think,
we're
projecting
around
30
million
dollars
plus
in
our
tanf
reserve.
O
I
appreciate
that
it's
a
little
bit
of
kind
of,
like
we've,
got
a
lot
of
different
chairs,
we're
moving
around
and
different
decision
points
in
that
and
for
the
upcoming
biennium
and
obviously
we'd
love
to
find
things
like
this.
But
obviously
you
know
our
hearts
sometimes
are
bigger
than
our
budgets
too.
O
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
weren't
inadvertently
getting
ourselves
into
a
corner,
and
you
know
raising
something
up
that
we
that
might
not
be
possible
to
sustain,
although
we
we
hope
to
so
that
was
kind
of
my
line
of
questions.
I
appreciate
that.
Oh
wait.
One
quick
question,
one
quick
question:
it's
just
a
piece
I
see-
and
this
is
just
a
technical
piece
this
this
is
going
to
be
sub
granted,
but
once
it
lands
at
the
sub-grantee
level,
it
won't
be
sub-granted
out
again
correct.
E
I
may
defer
that
question,
I'm
99.9
positive.
That
is
the
case.
Is
there
someone
from
republican
behavior
health
that
can
verify
that,
for
me,.
P
Yes,
absolutely
thank
you,
chair
for
allowing
us
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
that
to
the
last
question
as
well.
I'll
just
note
that
that,
as
you
all
know,
many
of
our
programs
are
run
on
grant
funds,
and
so
our
sub-awardees
know
that
it's
only
contingent
upon
funding
so
that
we
hope
the
outcome.
That
is
that
this
is
a
long-term
investment.
Certainly,
our
sub-awardees
know
that
all
our
funding
is
flexible,
as
it
relates
to
the
question
that
you
just
had
I'll
defer
to
chris
alopra.
I
apologize.
I
interrupted
her.
P
She
was
answering
no
no
problem,
thanks,
julia
umber
for
the
record.
Yes,
it
is
subgranted
to
the
southern
nevada
health
district
to
run
the
nurse
family
partnership.
It
is
not
subgranted
down
from
there.
O
Perfect,
I
I
appreciate
that
and
then
the
the
expectation
would
be
they
would
spend
all
150
000
in
a
two-month
period
or
that
they're
gonna
have
that
and
then
be
able
to
this.
I
guess
is
that
do
we
have,
does
it
all
have
to
be
spent
by
the
by
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year
or
just
kind
of
planned
for
by
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year?.
O
L
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
chairman,
so
we're
talking
about
tanf
recipients,
but
they
won't
be
the
only
folks
that
will
be
involved
in
this
program.
So
what
are
the
categories
of
the
people
that
you're
going
to
be
reaching
out
to,
or
will
they
all
strictly
have
to
qualify
for
tana?
First.
E
Yeah
they're
they're
one
of
the
requirements
for
this
to
use
can
of
funds.
There
has
to
be
a
means
test,
so
there
has
to
be
a
test.
So
yes,
this
will
include
individuals
who
are
on
the
tanup
program.
L
A
Thank
you
for
for
clarifying
that
mr
fisher
and
thank
you
vice
chair
carlton
for
the
question.
Any
other
questions
on
items
73
and
79.
A
Seeing
none,
I
would
take
a
motion
to
approve
items.
73
and
79
together.
A
A
Second,
from
senator
dennis
any
discussion
on
the
motion.

A
Thank
you
miss
kaufman,
so
that
brings
us
up
to
our
next
item,
which
was
item
83.
E
Good
morning,
mr
chair
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
steve
fisher
administrator
for
the
division
of
welfare
and
supportive
services
with
me
this
morning,
is
christelle
askew
she's,
the
chief
of
our
child
care
program
agenda
item
83
is
requesting
additional
authority
of
92
million
725
thousand
733
dollars
in
federal,
coronavirus
response
and
relief.
Supplemental
act
grant
funds
to
provide
assistance
to
child
care
providers
to
prevent,
prepare
for
and
respond
to
the
continued
impact
of
the
coronavirus.
E
K
Sure,
good
morning
this
is
christelle
askew
for
the
record
chief
of
the
child
care
and
development
program.
So
what
we've
done
so
far
is
we?
We've
developed
a
two-phase
plan
with
some
overlap
and
our
goal
is
to
really
support,
have
long-term
impact
on
the
child
care
industry,
and
so
one
of
the
first
pieces
that
we're
looking
at
really
is
resolving
the
current
crisis
current
issues.
So
we
know
that
we
have
continued
low
enrollment
in
child
care
and
supporting
safety
precautions
as
well,
so
just
to
ensure
that
child
care
exists
after
the
pandemic.
K
So
we're
looking
at
restoration
grants,
you
know
operating
costs,
stimulus
grants
and
then
funding,
covetor
related
supplies
or
purchasing
and
distributing
ppe
and
then
the
second
phase
of
that
really
is
as
the
vaccine's
rolling
out
and
we
assume
people
are
going
to
be
returning
to
work.
K
Utilizing
existing
community-based
models
to
recruit
new
child
care
providers
to
start
new
businesses
and
again
supporting
those
existing
licensed
exempt
family
friend
and
neighbors,
and
helping
them
to
become
licensed
childcare
providers
grow
into
a
business,
serve
more
children
at
a
targeted
capacity
building
we're
looking
at
targeting
healthcare
deserts.
We
really
want
to
build
a
strong
partnership
with
the
business
community
and
assist
them
with
smaller
learning
pods
for
their
employees.
We
have
a
really
wonderful
partnership
with
mioa.
K
We
want
to
work
with
our
family
resource
centers
for
recruitment,
so
really
looking
at
those
community
partners
and
building
this
with
them.
We
want
to
provide
business,
trainings,
technical
assistance
pandemic,
related
health
and
safety,
trainings
and
resources
that
are
going
to
evolve
with
need
and
again
with
the
staff,
recruitment
and
support
really
working
with
those
staff,
because
workforce
is
a
huge
part
of
what
we're
doing
and
looking
at
those
existing
community
based
models
for
recruitment
there,
too
paid
training
and
internships,
our
partnership
with
viola,
to
go
and
do
that
recruitment
piece.
K
Get
them
on
board,
provide
the
mentorship
aid,
internship
and
placement
in
position
in
the
field
of
early
childhood
and
and
then
really
a
large
focus
on
tracking
outcomes
and
return
investment.
Oh
it's
all
about
data.
We
want
to
make
sure
we're
looking
at
the
outcomes,
we
want
to
look
at
the
cost.
We
want
to
look
at
that
roi
and
look
at
the
long
term
results
and
that
the
sort
of
a
high
level
overview
of
what
we
intend
to
do.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
for
the
description,
and
I
think
we
have
a
question
from
assemblywoman
titus
on
this
issue.
I
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
actually
I
do
have
lots
of
questions,
but
I
know
that
senator
super
ganzer
also
wanted
this,
so
I
will
have
if
it's
all
right
with
you
I'll.
Let
her
ask
the
questions
and
then
I
I'll
ask
if
mine
aren't
answered.
A
Absolutely
I
appreciate
that
I'm
getting
some
of
my
my
members
confused
and
mixed
up.
I
appreciate
that
center
receivers
cancer.
Would
you
go
right
ahead.
C
Thank
you,
chair
brooks.
I
think
we
both
were
interested
in
this
and
so
one
of
the
questions
I
had
because
we
don't
have
that
much
information
is
we
have
a
breakdown
as
far
as
counties
and
some
of
the
entities,
and
it
was
mentioned
sort
of
the
accountability
piece,
because
if
we're
we're
paying
for
enrollment,
but
the
kids
aren't
necessarily
there,
I
kind
of
want
to
get
an
idea
of
what
that
looks
like,
because
I
do
think
we
need
good
child
care
in
nevada,
and
this
will
help
with
that.
C
K
So
a
piece
of
that!
Oh
sorry,
this
is
christelle
askew
for
the
record
in
looking
at
long-term
stabilization
of
child
care.
K
Part
of
what
we're
doing,
in
addition
to
trying
to
open
up
our
wait
list
temporarily
and
pay
by
enrollment
versus
attendance
temporarily,
is
really
getting
into
those
child
care
programs
and
assessing
what
their
longer
term
needs
are
and
providing
support
to
help
them
accumulate,
cost
savings
and
one
of
the
ways
that
we're
doing
that
is
by
putting
together
a
staffed
child
care
network,
and
that's
part
of
that
is
a
shared
services
agreement
and
that
takes
some
of
the
burden
and
some
of
the
cost
away
from
these
providers
so
that
they
can
have
some
of
the
funding
freed
up
to
help
pay
staff,
higher
wages
and
just
more
money
toward
quality
within
the
child
care
program.
K
Right,
it
can
be
several
different.
This
is
christelle
askew
for
the
record.
First
of
all,
absolutely
what
you
said.
It's
part
of
the
accounting
piece,
removing
some
of
the
burden
of
the
business
piece,
and
it's
also
things
like
buying
things
in
both
learning
tools,
all
sorts
of
equipment,
supplies
and
things
that
child
care
providers
need
to
come
together
and
buy
them
in
bulk
and
have
a
cost
savings
in
that
way
as
well.
C
K
This
is
crystal
ascii
for
the
record,
so
at
this
time
we
have
some
incredible
technical
assistance.
We
have
we're
working
with
an
entity
called
homegrown
and
they're
going
to
be
helping
us
sort
of
develop
a
plan
to
put
this
together.
K
Our
hope
is
to
have
a
tiered
family
child
care
network
that
includes
family
child
care
and
also
the
smaller
centers
and,
and
so
we
haven't
sussed
out
all
of
the
pieces
yet
as
to
how
the
funding
will
be
distributed
to
the
providers
and
how
the
support
will
be
distributed
to
the
providers
and
in
doing
that,
you
know
we're
going
to
have
to
have
deliverables
and
outcomes
from
these
entities.
That
would
be
partnering
with
us
to
do
this.
C
Is
your?
Is
it
your
intent
to
come
back
and
then
report
to
us
on
houses?
It's
a
lot
of
money,
that's
93
million
dollars.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
the
outcomes
and
that
we
have
that
we
are
able
to
create
a
more
robust
network
of
child
care,
so
part
of
it's
going
to
be
the
outcomes
given
that
this
isn't
established.
Yet
thank.
K
You
yeah
this
is
chris
delaskey
for
the
record.
We
have
every
intention
we're
really
hoping
to
gather
all
of
the
data
track
this
as
we
move
through
and
then
have
outcomes
out
the
other
side
to
share
absolutely.
I
I
still
I
do
have
some
additional
questions
and
thank
you
for
answering
the
questions
that
have
already
been
asked,
but
again,
along
that
same
line.
I
I'm
concerned
about
the
the
monies
and
the
accountability
and
the
follow-up
and
how
you
are
tracking
it.
So
far
from
what
I
can
see
from
what
was
submitted
with
this
budget
item,
there's
been
110
million
dollars
already
spent
towards
this.
I
This
is
an
additional
other
than
what
we've
already
authorized:
an
additional
90,
almost
93
million
dollars-
and
I
see
from
just
the
three
pages
that
were
submitted
with
this-
that
it's
going
to
be
distributed
to
the
urban
league,
the
children's
cabinet
and
quote
various
community
partners
and
I'm
concerned
about
that
funding.
93
million
dollars,
then
going
away
from
your
department
into
communities
and
and
I'm
worried
about
that
accountability
piece.
I
That
line
item
accountability,
because
once
we
distribute
this
because
I
only
see
really,
you
have
down
a
million
dollars
to
actually
go
to
cares
to
to
ppe
for
for
the
providers
a
million
dollars.
The
rest
of
this
huge
amount
of
money
is
going
out
into
the
children's
cabinet
urban
league
and
quote
various
community
partners,
and
I
just
worry
the
further
out
it
gets.
I
Who
is
really
going
to
monitor
that
not
just
outcome
data,
but
where
does
this
money
actually
go
who's
going
to
spend
it?
When
are
they
going
to
report
to
you?
What
are
these
some
community
plans
and
who,
who
in
your
department,
holds
these
money
these
folks
accountable
and
not
just
you
know,
gathering
data,
but
really
are
you
just
providing
it
to
565
child
care
businesses?
That's
the
number
here
is
that
all
we
have
in
our
state
and
what's
your
end
goal,
how
many
do
we
need
in
our
state?
I
K
This
is
christelle
askew
for
the
records,
so
we
actually
did
stimulus
grants
to
providers
for
three
months
of
operating
costs
with
the
karzak
dollars
in
may.
We
were
down
by
about
66
percent
of
child
care
providers,
and
then
we
distributed
out
those
funds
for
operating
costs
and
by
the
time
we
got
to
about
december.
K
We
were
up
about
close
to
don't
quote
me,
but
about
95
of
providers
were
back
open
again
and
so
they're
still
struggling
right
now
with
those
overhead
costs
and
staying
keeping
their
heads
above
water.
So
definitely
a
portion
of
these
funds
will
go
out
to
be
stimulus,
grants
to
those
providers
and
they,
our
hope,
is
to
provide
a
stimulus
check
to
every
licensed
provider.
K
K
So
a
good
portion
of
these
funds
are
going
to
go
toward
us.
Some
of
that
similar
type
of
thing
where
we're
looking
at
operating
costs-
and
we
calculated
capacity
into
that,
and
so
that's
our
intent-
is
to
have
that
kind
of
impact
again
to
help
sustain
those
child
care
businesses
right
now,
with
their
immediate
need.
K
When
they're
running
on
a
really
thin
margin
and
as
we
all
know,
even
before
covert,
they
were
already
running
on
quite
a
thin
margin.
So
just
trying
to
keep
child
care
the
industry
from
going
away
with
these
operating
cost
grants.
And
then
yes,
a
portion
of
the
funds
will
be
going
to
some
community
entities,
but
our
every
intention
is
to
be
extremely
involved
in
all
of
the
activities
that
we
do
and
before
we
provide
any
funding
for
these
activities,
they're
required
through
their
sub
award
to
give
us
their
deliverables
to.
K
Let
us
know
what
those
outcomes
are
and
we
will
be
monitoring
how
those
funds
are
spent.
When
we'll
be
a
part
of
developing
the
plan
to
we'll
have
our
subject
matter,
experts
involved
and
how
to
build
in
those
plans
and
pa
from
the
federal
government
and
from
that
entity.
Homegrown
that
I
mentioned
before,
they're
really
excited
to
work
with
nevada
and
help
us
with
this
plan.
K
This
is
christelle
askew
for
the
record.
We
do
have
more
licensed
providers
than
that
number.
However,
we
we
don't
intend
to
provide
operating,
cost
funding
to
the
head
start
programs,
and
they
take
up
some
of
that
number.
That
overarching
number
that
you're
looking
at
includes
head
start
programs.
Headstart
programs
are
already
federally
funded
and
in
addition
to
that,
they
also
received
some
covid
related
funding,
so
we're
only
looking
at
those
licensed
family,
child
care,
in-home
care
and
those
licensed
centers.
I
K
We're
looking
at
560
providers
before
we
disseminate
the
funding.
Our
every
intention
is
to
make
sure
we've
captured
all
of
the
licensed
providers.
Aside
from
head
start
and,
and
so
there
may
be
a
small
shift
in
the
way
the
funding
looks,
but
it
should
be
fairly
similar.
Does
that
answer
your
question.
I
Well,
thank
you
thank
you
for
trying
to
answer
my
question,
but
you
haven't
actually,
but
what
I
would
like
to
say
and
I'm
sure
if
it's
okay
with
the
chair
to
report
back
again,
I'm
I'm
very
concerned
about
the
accountability
piece
of
this
funding
and
when
we
distribute
it
to
these
major
non-profits
and
looking
at
where
these
monies
are
being
spent.
And
does
it
really
get
to
your
intent,
which
is
making
sure
there's
access
to
a
very
good
high
quality
child
care
throughout
this
state.
I
I
And
so
I'm
very
concerned,
and
really
I'd
like
to
see
not
just
that
information
as
far
as
what
you're
saying
at
training
but
the
whole
global
business
plan
with
this
kind
of
funding
and
what
you
have
in
mind
and
where
this
is
going
to
be
spent,
because
I
truly
think
there's
a
need
throughout
this
state,
especially
in
needed
urban
centers
and
and
in
our
in
clark
county
and
not
to
mention
the
rules
in
washington
county.
But
boy
there's
a
need.
So
I
really
would
appreciate
the
follow-up
on
this
funding.
I
Some
outcome
information
and
really,
where
does
this
money
go
and
not
an
overhead
cost
administrative
fees?
Does
it
really
get
to
the
children,
which
is
what
we're
all
here
for?
So
thank
you
very
much,
mr
chair,
for
the
line
of
questioning.
A
Yes,
question:
that's
so
can
I
call
on,
I
believe,
senator
kikover
had
questions
on
this
item
as
well.
Unless
I
am
confused
nope,
I
am
confused.
We
do
have
assembly
woman
benitez
thompson,
however,
who
does.
O
I
appreciate
that
so
yeah
we
have
a
quality
child
care
issue
on
the
state,
and
we've
been
talking
about
it
and
trying
to
pass
measures
and
legislative
measures
to
to
fix
it
for
for
years,
and
it's
been
a
conversation
in
the
health
and
human
service
committee
with
bills
brought
by
assemblywoman
joyner
with
bills
brought
by
so
many
members
and
also
on
in
the
ways
and
means
committee,
and
we
are
also
the
previous
governor
sandoval,
but
a
big
chunk
into
child
care.
O
So
we've
been
in
this
conversation
and
the
reason
why
it's
so
important
is
because
child
care
is
a
small
business
that
makes
business
work.
And
so,
if
we
are
sincere
to
getting
women
back
into
the
workforce
post
pandemic,
then
we're
supporting
child
care.
We've
been
talking
about
the
fact
that
we
have
a
limited
number
of
spaces
for
years
and
that
we
need
to
grow
spaces.
O
I
I
think
that
we
have
seen
that
first
chunk
of
money
that
was
referenced.
What
happened
with
the
first
30
42
million
dollars?
That
was
the
first
chunk
of
money
that
came
down
in
the
first
cares
act,
and
this
committee
did
talk
about
that.
30
million
dollars
and
we
did
have
staff
testify
and
talk
to
us
and
give
us
a
great
record
about
what
was
happening
with
that
money.
O
So
I'm
just
really
sensitive
to
the
fact
that
we
would
paint
it
as
if
we
have
not
been
talking
about
this
issue
or
haven't
been
talking
about
these
dollars
and
where
these
dollars
have
been
allocated
and
how
we
want
these
dollars
to
work.
I
don't
want
that
to
be
the
legislative
record,
because
we've
all
been
asking
and
talking
about
this
for
a
while.
That
being
said,
I
do.
I
do
see
that,
as
I
turn
myself
sideways
to
look
at
the
spreadsheets
that
the
department
has
submitted
that
they're.
It
looks
like
that.
O
We're
still
planning
to
have
kind
of
weightless
slots,
and
I
understand
that
still
might
be
a
capacity
issue.
But
I
didn't
know
what
percentage
of
that
waitlist
might
be
capacity
issue
as
in
there
are
not
enough
slots
versus
if
it
was
just
funding
and
if
we
weren't
planning
to
fund
more
slots.
K
K
And
you
know
our
long-term
goal
in
this
program
is
really
to
take
a
look
at
how
our
subsidy
program
is
set
up,
how
we're
doing
our
reimbursement
payments,
what
families
we're
impacting,
and
our
intention
is
to
really
overhaul
what
that
looks
like
so
part
of
this
funding-
and
this
is
what
you
know
was
required
in
the
guidance
for
the
grant
is
to
provide
those
stimulus
checks
which,
like
I
said,
they
were
really
helpful
last
time
and
then
that
other
portion
of
money
that
30
something
million
is
to
do
all
of
those
things
and
getting
into
the
infrastructure
of
child
care.
O
I
appreciate
that
I
think
it's
just
a
moment
for
if
those
dollars
allow
for
any
flexibility
to
talk
about
kind
of
the
capital
issue
that
comes
along
with
with
child
care
and
increasing
slots,
which
would
mean
you
know,
facility
space,
I
think
that
would
be
a
wonderful
chance
to
do.
It
might
be
our
one
and
only
chance
to
actually
catch
up
on
that
issue
here
in
nevada.
I
thank
you
so
much.
A
Thank
you,
assemblywoman
benitez
thompson
and
thank
you,
miss
ask
you
and,
and
simply
woman
you
just
brought
up
like
a
really
important
point
about
I
mean
this
is
the
front
line.
This
is
the
first.
These
are
the
first
casualties
of
of
the
pandemic
and
families
and
child
care
and
without
child
care.
A
Our
economy
will
not
run
and
we've
seen
that
women
have
taken
the
the
brunt
of
the
of
the
damage
that's
been
caused
by
the
pandemic,
and
they
also
disproportionately
are
involved
in
the
child
care
raising
of
our
children,
and
so
this
is
such
an
important
piece
and
seeing
the
federal
funds
go
directly
to
helping
on
the
front
line
of
the
front
line,
and-
and
I
just
appreciate
what
you're
doing
miss
ask
you,
and
I
I
appreciate
everyone.
A
This
is
what
we
voted
on
in
ifc
over
this
entire
year,
and
I
appreciate
everyone
who
voted
to
accept
federal
funds
so
that
we
could
put
that
into
these
programs
and
and
so
and
I
I
I'm
glad
to
see
this
is
what
we're
doing
and
continue
the
work
and
the
these
are
the
front.
These
are
the
front
lines
that
we
need
to
support.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
for
for
the
clarification
and
a
question
assembly
beneath
thompson,
and
I
think
I
saw
assemblywoman
tolls-
try
to
raise
their
hand
for
this
item
unless
I
am
confused
again.
B
No
thank
you.
I
I
just.
M
K
C
C
A
I
I
we'll
see
if
there's
any
other
comments
or
questions
from
on
this
item,
and
oh
vice,
chair
carlton,
did
you
want
to
make
that
motion?
Is
that
what
you're
saying.
L
Yeah,
mr
chairman,
yes
thank
thank
you
for
recognizing
me.
I
would
move
approval
of
this
item.
Thank
you
exactly.
A
I
have
a
motion
to
approve
this
item
from
vice
chair
carlton
in
a
second
from
yes,
any
discussion
on
the
ocean.
Mr
chair,
yes,
assembly,
one
titus.
I
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
I
too
will
be
supporting
this
motion,
because
I
do
think
it's
very
important
that
we
have
child
care
for
getting
nevada
citizens
back
to
work,
whether
it's
the
moms
or
the
dads
who
are
responsible
for
the
child
care.
I
think
it's
important
that
there
is
a
quality
child
care,
but
I
also
the
most.
I
The
most
important
thing
for
me
with
my
line
of
questions
was
the
accountability
piece,
so
I'm
looking
forward
to
supporting
this,
but
actually
even
more
so
looking
forward
to
the
follow-up
from
the
department
and
where
these
monies
are
being
spent
and
truly
seeing
that,
with
these
kind
of
funding,
we
should
be
able
to
raise
the
bar
on
our
quality
of
child
care.
So
thank
you,
mr
chair.
A
Thank
you,
so
any
other
discussion
on
the
motion.
L
And
you
know
just
in
in
response
to
that:
that's
the
job
of
ifc.
That's
what
we
do.
That's
why
we
had
21
meetings
last
interim
is
to
make
sure
that
everything
is
held
accountable.
So
I
don't
want
there
to
be
any
misconception
out
there
in
the
public
that
ifc
is
not
going
to
be
doing
its
job
after
we
sign
a
die
on
may
31st.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Vice
chair
carlton
and
any
other
discussion
on
this
item.
Before
we
take
the
the
vote
being
none.
Ms
kaufman,
will
you
roll
call
vote.
D
N
J
C
N
J
A
Thank
you,
miss
kaufman.
That
brings
us
to
our
next
item,
and
that
is
c94,
and
that
is
the
department
of
employment,
training
and
rehabilitation
and
unemployment
insurance.
C
C
The
7.6
million
dollars
supports
2.7
million
dollars
in
salaries
and
approximately
5
million
dollars
in
contractual
services.
A
Thank
you,
ms
parvin.
I
appreciate
that
and
I
think
I'll
open
that
up
to
any
of
the
membership
questions,
and
I
believe
the
first
member
I
have
with
question
is
assemblywoman
danielle,
monroe,
moreno.
O
C
A
I
do
not
see
any
so
I
just
want
just
just
clarifying,
so
I
I
would
be
looking
for
a
motion
to
approve
but
based
upon
the
revised
amount,
as
was
just
clarified
by
ms
parvin
and
in
the
question
from
assemblywoman
moreno.
A
A
All
right
and
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that
motion
is
clear
enough
for
staff
to
to
be
able
to
create
a
record.
A
K
C
G
J
E
E
B
C
B
A
Commission
passes,
thank
you,
miss
kaufman.
That
brings
us
to
our
next
item
and
I
believe
we
have
item
135.
P
P
P
Finally,
in
category
4,
pebb
is
requesting
a
transfer
of
approximately
263
000
to
account
for
the
increases
in
actuarial
services
that
have
been
required
by
pebb
and
also
for
pcquari
fees,
which
are
patient-centered
outcomes.
Research
institute
those
were
projected
to
expire
but
were
extended
by
the
irs
recently,
so
I'm
happy
to
take
any
questions
or
provide
any
other
information
on
this
item.
A
J
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
for
the
explanation
and
being
here
today.
My
real
question
is:
is
centered
around
you
and
you
kind
of
explained
it.
The
actuarial
estimates
between
the
state
employees
and
the
retirees,
and
I
see
that
you
know
we
were
10
off
or
state
employee
insurance
cost,
obviously
in
our
favor,
but
but
under
or
retirees,
and
you
believe
that
that's
going
to
be
continuing
the
trend,
and
the
reason
I
ask
is
that
in
your
budget
request
for
next
cycle,
there's
some
adjustments
to
the
retiree
contributions
and
just
curious.
P
So,
thank
you
for
the
question
more
rich
for
the
record.
It's
let
me
see
if
I
can
explain
this
in
a
in
a
very,
very
simplified
manner,
so
the
way
that
the
the
risk
pool
works
in
the
way
that
it
is
it
is
priced
is
in
one
single
unit,
and
so
let's
say
that
you
know
just
to
for
the
sake
of
expect
for
the
explanation.
P
Really,
if
you
break
it
up,
the
cost
is
more
like
six
dollars
for
the
retirees
and
four
dollars
for
the
actives,
but
the
way
that
it
is
budgeted
because
we
budgeted
it
separately,
it's
five
and
five,
and
so
there's
always
going
to
be
a
need
to
transfer
that
back
and
forth,
and
so
this
has
not
been.
This
is
just
a
way
there's
a
difference
between
you
know
the
the
way
our
risk
pools
work
and
then
the
way
that
the
state
accounting
budget
process
works.
Hopefully
that
makes
sense.
J
J
A
Thank
you,
assemblyman
roberts,
and
thank
you
miss
rich
for
that
explanation.
Does
anyone
do
any
of
the
other
committee
members
have
any
questions
on
this
agenda
item
or
on
this?
Excuse
me
this
item.
A
I
do
not
see
any
so
I
would
take
a
motion
to
approve
item
135.
I'll
make
a
motion,
sir.
I
have
that
roberts,
a
second
from
senator
dennis
any
discussion
on
that
motion.
A
E
N
J
C
J
A
Passes,
thank
you,
miss
kaufman,
so
that
that
is
the
all
the
individual
items
that
were
identified
or
pulled
for
c,
and
that
brings
us
to
our
last
item
under
c
and
that
are
the
reclassifications.
A
And
I
believe
that
we
have
we.
We
have
a
couple
of
reclassifications
that
we
wanted
to
to
discuss
and
I
think
we
can
start
with
the
reclassifications
and
department
of
administration
director's
office.
C
C
This
action
item
is
a
reclassification
of
a
management
analyst
2
position
to
an
administrative
assistant,
3
position
that
is
consonant
with
the
governor's
recommended
budget.
As
we
discussed
in
the
administration
director's
office
budget
hearing,
the
classification
of
this
position
was
recommended
by
the
governor
for
fiscal
year,
22
and
23..
C
The
reclassification
saves
17
276
dollars
in
general
fund
in
this
fiscal
year
and
also
reclassifying
the
position
now
gives
any
incumbent
stability.
If
we
were
to
recruit
for
a
management
analyst
right
now
and
the
legislature
were
to
approve
the
decision
units
in
the
government
budget
we'd
have
to
downgrade
any
person
who
was
in
the
position.
C
Also,
we've
tried
to
recruit
a
temporary
employee
and,
to
be
candid,
we
haven't
been
very
pleased
with
the
quality
of
the
candidates
we've
gotten,
so
we
feel
like
opening
an
admin
assistant
recruitment
for
the
state
would
yield
a
better
candidate
pool
also.
I
would
note
that,
as
I
testified
during
our
budget
hearing,
the
commission
for
women
supports
this
reclassification
and
they're
eager
to
have
their
own
assistance
sooner
rather
than
later.
L
Thank
you
and
thank
you
very
much
and
I
appreciate
miss
freed
what
what
you're
trying
to
do
this.
This
commission
does
some
excellent
work
and
I've
I've
worked
with
them
on
a
number
of
different
issues,
including
a
license
plate.
Everybody
hold
on
to
your
hats.
So
so,
if
I
understand
you
correctly,
you
want
to
fill
the
position
now
at
this
particular
level,
and
that
way
you
can
get
a
jump
start
on.
L
A
Thank
vice
chair
carlton,
thank
you
for
clarifying
that,
and,
and
so
thank
you
for
putting
that
on
the
record,
and
so
this
this
just
that
does
just
impact
this
fiscal
year,
and
so
with
that
any
other
questions
on
this
reclassification.
A
A
No
discussion
on
that
motion
miss
kaufman.
Would
you
take
a
roll
call
vote
please
on
this
on
just
this
reclassification.
The
other
reclassification
was
already
approved
in
the
original
vote,
and
so
we're
just
voting
on
this
reclassification.
A
A
G
J
C
A
Thank
you
miss
kaufman.
I
appreciate
that,
and
so
that
was
our
last
item
under
agenda
item
c,
and
so
we
will
move
to
agenda
item
d.
The
statement
of
contingency
account
balance.
Mr
thorley,
will
you
give
us
the
the
statement
of
contingency
account
balance?
Please.
D
D
D
Dollars
and
cents
in
the
unrestricted
highway
fund
portion
of
the
contingency
account,
the
balance
is
one
million
six
hundred
and
thirty
eight
thousand
sixty
eight
dollars
and
thirty
35
cents
and
in
the
restricted
portion
of
the
contingency
account
balance
or
the
kentucky
contingency
account.
The
balance
is
13
888,
000,
five
hundred
and
ninety
dollars.
A
Thank
you,
mr
thorley.
Do
any
of
the
committee
members
have
any
questions
for
mr
thorley
on
emergency
account
balances.
A
I
do
not
see
any
so
thank
you
and
that
would
take
us
to
our
next
agenda
item.
A
And
our
next
agenda
item
is
item
e
quest
for
allocation
from
the
ifc
contingency
account,
and
so
one
second
here
please
this.
This
agenda
item
has
been
withdrawn.
Okay
is
that
is
that
correct?
Mr
thorley?
This
agenda
item
is
both
drawn.
D
It
is
mr
chair,
this
was
withdrawn
on
march
8th,
so,
if
you
would
like
you
can
move
on
to
the
next
agenda
item.
A
A
C
Good
morning,
I'm
janice
keela
with
the
nevada

Thank

the
question
chair.
These
are
donations
for
donations
sake;
they
are
each
one
is
related
to,
for
example,
the
the
2a
from
pew
charitable
trust.
J
This
is
related
to
the
implementation
of
secretarial
order,
3362
on
migration
corridors
and
movement
patterns
of
ungulates,
three
ungulate
species
in
seven
western
states,
and
they
are
contributing
to
the
agency's
understanding.
J
Each
of
these
donations,
as
is
required
for
acceptance
of
these,
are
accompanied
by
a
letter
that
specifies
the
acceptable
and
intended
use
of
of
the
funding
in
certain
instances.
Some
of
our
industry
partners,
for
example,
some
of
the
mining
companies
have
requirements
associated
with
the
national
environmental
policy
act.
J
They
need
to
provide
data
relative
to
potential
impacts.
Oftentimes,
they
believe
we
have
are,
are
better
suited
to
collect
and
analyze
that
data,
also
in
some
instances
with
industry
partners,
they
they
may
make
gentlemen's
types
agreements
that
they
would
like
to
try
to
offset
their
impact.
This
is
really
just
not
a
requirement
they're
not
providing
these
funds
to
the
state
as
a
requirement
of
mitigation,
but
it's
a
voluntary
partnership
where
they're
trying
to
be
good
community
members
and
offset
impacts
to
some
of
their
activities.
J
So
there
are
none
of
these
requests
that
constitute
required,
legally
binding
or
otherwise
compensation
to
the
department.
These
are
true
donations,
each
of
which
is
accompanied
by
a
letter
describing
the
intended
usage
of
these
donated
funds,
upon
which
the
agency
will
provide
voluntarily
provide
reports
to
the
board
of
wildlife.
Commissioners
twice
annually,.
A
Perfect,
thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
do
any
of
the
other
committee
members
have
a
question
on
these
four
items
for
the
department
of
wildlife.
L
Yes,
mr
chairman,
I
do
have
one
silly
question
to
ask
and
if
I
may
please
please
vice
chair.
Thank
you,
mr
wesley.
Thank
you
for
being
patient
with
me,
but
you
got
to
tell
me
what
an
angular
is.
I'm
sorry,
it's
not
a
native
species
routine.
So.
J
I'm
sorry,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
question
vice
chair,
carlton,
dear
elk
and
antelope,
were
the
three
target
species
in
the
secretarial
order,
and
those
are
the
species
primarily
here
in
antelope
that
the
department
will
take
advantage
of
this
partnership
with
few
charitable
trusts,
to
put
some
callers
on
mule,
deer
and
pronghorn
antelope
to
better
understand
their
movement
corridors.
L
And
thank
you,
mr
wesley,
for
your
patience.
Are
we
going
to
track
that
moose?
That's
out
there,
because
I
know
assemblywoman
swank
is
probably
listening,
so
she's
going
to
be
interested
in
how
our
moose
is
doing.
J
A
Thank
you
vice
chair
for
asking
the
question
that
I
was
embarrassed
to
ask
myself,
so
I
appreciate
it
now.
I
know
an
angel.
It
is
thank
you
very
much.
Do
any
of
the
other
committee
members
have
any
questions
on
these.
These
four
items.
A
I
appreciate
the
motion
and
second
from
vice
chair
carlton,
any
discussion
on
that
motion.
D
C
A
J
B
E
B
A
Thank
you,
miss
kaufman
last
thing
under
agenda
item
f
and
that
moves
us
to
a
gender
item.
G
informational
items
staff
did
not
identify,
nor
did
any
of
the
members
identify
any
informational
items
for
discussion
this
morning.
A
So
and-
and
this
is
informational
items
only
so
no
motion
will
be
necessary.
So
if
there
is
nothing
to
discuss
on
this
item,
I
I
will
move
to
the
next
agenda
item.
A
All
right-
and
so
the
next
agenda
item
is
agenda-
item
h,
public
comment:
this
is
the
second
and
last
public
comment
period
as
we
discussed
earlier.
We
are
very
time
constrained
today,
unfortunately,
and
I'm
limiting
the
agenda
item
to
15
minutes,
and
that
is
a
maximum
of
two
minutes
per
speaker
on
this
agenda
item.
So
bps.
A
Would
you
please
open
the
public
comment
line
and
see
if
we
have
anyone
on
the
public
comment
line
and
give
just
a
minute
for
them
to
join
if
they're
not.
C
A
C
C
F
Hello
good
morning,
members
of
the
interim
finance
committee
for
the
record.
My
name
is
ian
bigley,
ian
b-I-g-l-e-y
and
I'm
providing
comment
on
behalf
of
the
progressive
leadership
alliance
of
nevada.
In
regard
to
item
f,
we
currently
rely
on
corporate
charity
to
fund
certain
conservation
efforts,
and
this
is
not
sustainable,
as
eventually
the
mines
will
leave.
We
recognize
the
importance
of
these
donations.
In
this
moment
yeah.
We
must
put
in
place
reliable,
long-term
funding
mechanisms
in
addition
to
these
donations
before
it's
too
late.
F
We
support
the
acceptance
of
these
donations
as
a
part
of
mining's
responsibility
to
address
the
externalized
costs
associated
with
their
profits,
since
we
are
not
collecting
adequate
extractive
taxes
to
compensate
for
losses
in
nevada,
for
example,
according
to
the
2019
to
2020
net
proceeds
of
minerals,
bulletin,
bald
mountain
grossed,
nearly
250
million
in
2019,
and
paid
zero
extractive
taxes
under
the
net
proceeds
of
minerals
tax.
Due
to
the
enormous
deduction
deductions
we
allow
for
mining
and
no
other
industry
to
take.
F
We
understand
that
none
of
these
proposals
provide
revenue
specifically
for
conservation,
though,
through
better
funding
our
state
via
taxes,
which
are
much
more
predictable
than
occasional
charity.
We
are
able
to
better
manage
our
financial
resources
to
put
in
place
long-term
conservation
funding
plans
which
are
determined
by
nevadans,
not
on
the
whim
of
corporate
leaders
outside
of
the
state.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
that.
So
that
is
the
end
of
that
agenda.
Item
moving
us
to
our
last
agenda
item,
which
is
adjournment.
A
I
do
need
to
remind
the
members
that
we
are
going
to
to
go
right
into
a
joint
full
committee
and
and
we'll
need
approximately
15
minutes
to
transition
from
our
current
ifc
committee
to
the
joint
full
and,
and
we
will
have
to
then
log
out
of
this
particular
meeting
and
log
into
the
next
meeting,
and
so
if,
after
this
adjournment,
don't
go
far
just
try
to
try
to
log
back
into
the
other
joint
full
link
that
you
have
so
that
we
can
roll
right
into
this
thing
just
as
soon
as
broadcast
services
gets
us
up
and
running
with
that.
