E
President
and
general
manager,
vegas
pbs,
for
the
record,
madam
chair,
as
we
emerge
from
the
hardships
of
the
pandemic,
we're
very
encouraged
to
be
able
to
share
with
you
how
public
television
can
bring
much
greater
equity
and
economic
benefit
to
nevada.
Vegas
pbs
has
submitted
two
proposals
for
arpa
investments.
E
The
first
request
is
a
joint
3.5
million
dollar
vegas
pbs
and
reno
pbs
project
to
transmit
broadband
over
public
television's
airways.
As
you
are
aware,
the
digital
gap
only
widened
during
the
pandemic,
particularly
in
underserved
rural
areas
and
low-income
urban
communities.
The
new
next
generation
technology
means
that
public
television
has
the
capacity
to
transmit
broadband
or
internet
protocol
or
ip
signals
over
the
air.
Unlike
the
internet,
which
is
a
one-to-one
service
broadcast,
is
a
one-to-many
service.
This
means
that
public
television's
broadband
can
reach
every
household
within
antenna
range.
E
E
Tap
into
these
signals
for
broadband
applications,
we
are
ready
to
serve
and
and
respond
to
education,
emergency
response
and
public
safety
needs.
An
investment
now
means
that
statewide
public
television
has
infrastructure
in
place
and
piloted
new
technology
in
applications
that
will
emerge
over
the
next
decades.
E
Our
second
proposal
is
for
the
state
to
continue
to
support
our
weekly
half
hour
series
outdoor
nevada,
the
state
helped
fund
the
last
two
seasons
of
the
show,
and
that
support
has
led
to
outdoor
nevada's
national
distribution
to
numerous
key
travel
markets.
We've
collected
evidence
that
travel
and
visitation
has
increased
in
locations
featured
in
the
show.
We
believe
continued
production
strategically
featuring
communities
hit
hard
economically
can
have
a
significant
positive
impact
on
tourism
revenue
with
this
national
distribution.
I
thank
the
committee
for
your
review
and
consideration.
E
Good
morning,
madam
chair
tom
warden,
here
I'm
a
senior
vice
president
of
the
howard
hughes
corporation.
My
name
is
spelled
t-o-m-w-a-r-d-e-n,
also
a
board
member
of
vegas
pbs,
and
I'm
also
immediate
past
president
of
that
board.
E
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
your
continued
service
and
leadership
to
our
state,
especially
throughout
the
pandemic,
for
the
record,
madam
chair,
I'm
here
this
morning
to
provide
comment
on
a
couple
of
proposals
submitted
by
vegas
pbs
for
potential
arpa
investment.
E
This
asset
can
significantly
close
the
digital
divide
which,
as
you
know,
has
been
ex
exacerbated
by
the
pandemic
emerging
next
gen
tv
technology
will
allow
over-the-air
signals
to
transmit
broad
and
bad
levels
of
data,
and
this
means
that
every
household,
regardless
of
background
or
geography,
can
receive
these
signals.
Beyond
that.
The
educational
emergency
response
and
public
safety
applications
for
this
technology
are
endless,
which
is
why
it's
so
important.
E
E
We
have
verified
that
outdoor
increases
visitation,
particularly
to
rural
locations,
as
well
as
underutilized
urban
spaces
after
features
air.
This
translates
to
economic
growth
in
rural
areas
and
increased
equitable
access
within
urban
areas.
Outdoor
nevada
addresses
many
of
the
economic
community
and
quality
of
life
priorities
that
are
listed
in
the
state's
every
nevadan
recovery
framework.
E
I
have
seen
firsthand
how
public
television
can
bring
greater
economic
and
social
equity
to
the
people
and
communities
of
our
great
state.
Public
tv
has
accomplished
this
primarily
by
investing
today
in
assets
that
achieve
the
greatest
impact
for
tomorrow
do
proposals
before
you
follow
this
strategy.
E
Now,
with
hundreds
of
thousands
more
viewers,
this
emmy
award-winning
show
we
saw
just
last
night,
exploring
baby
and
rhyolite
explores
the
places,
people
and
events
of
nevada's
outdoor
wonders,
which
means
and
evidence
shows
increases,
travel
and
thus
economic
growth.
Without
the
state's
previous
investment
in
outdoor
nevada,
national
distribution
would
not
have
been
possible.
E
Secondly,
next
gen
broadband
broadcast
infrastructure
is
the
poster
child
for
investing
today
and
tomorrow,
as
next-gen
technology
continues
to
evolve.
Transmitting
broadband
over
the
air
will
not
only
reach
every
household
but
potentially
every
car,
every
school.
Every
hospital
and
every
government
building
previous
state
investments
have
helped
build
the
foundation
for
this
infrastructure,
and
an
opera
investment
would
solely
update
next-gen
equipment
on
existing
towers
and
station
infrastructure.
E
E
Our
current
voting
as
far
as
what
we
want
our
district
to
do
as
parents
is
probably
15
to
one
right
now,
14
to
15
to
one
to
have
the
mandate's
gone.
We
want
the
mass
mandates
gone.
We
want
the
vaccination
agenda
gone,
we
want
crt
gone,
which
is
the
biggest
the
critical
race
theory
that
we're
fighting
right
now,
because
we
don't
feel
that
it's
something
that
is
a
teacher's
responsibility
to
teach.
E
I'm
gathering
all
the
curriculum
on
that
right
now,
and
it
is
really
disheartening
that
we,
as
parents
are
50
to
100
members
at
these
meetings
consistently
speaking
out
against
these,
and
our
voices
are
going
completely
unheard
because
you
guys
are
choosing
a
commerce
law
and
the
stranglehold
of
funds
over
what
the
parents
and
the
people
of
the
district
are
are
speaking
out
against.
E
It's
a
violation
of
section
242,
title
18
of
the
color
of
law,
where
we're
at
right
now
with
our
voices
being
unheard,
and
I
would
like
to
know
if
there's
somebody
in
the
legislation
that
actually
cares
about
the
each
individual
county
and
what
we're
enduring
and
what
we're
going
through,
because
we
are
consistently
fighting
this
agenda
and
it
is
consistently
being
pushed.
We
are
not
being
heard.
E
E
This
is
a
pretty
big
ponzi
scheme
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
fight
it.
If
we
have
to
go
levels
above
you
guys,
I'm
going
to
be
reaching
out
with
emails,
but
I
really
want
you
guys
to
know
what's
happening
in
our
district.
Specifically,
we
as
parents
have
spoken
and
we
are
being
ignored
by
superintendent,
keith
lewis,
completely.
We
are
being
degraded
and
we
are
being
mistreated
over
funds.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much,
and
this
this
meeting
will
not
be
discussing
the
masks
mandates
just
so.
You
are
aware
of
that.
E
Okay,
great,
I
really
want
this
to
be
on
record,
what's
happening
in
our
county
and
you
as
a
state
legislation,
are
completely
ignoring.
E
You're
discussing
funds
that
ultimately
impact
us
all
across
the
state,
so
her
the
lady's
last
comment
was
very
valid.
You
are
using
money
against
us
through
the
karzak
rescue
plan
and
many
other
acts,
and
we,
the
people,
know
it
at
a
99.98
survival
rate
of
covid
and
other
inexpensive
life-saving
treatments.
You
have
failed
us
and
we
know
it.
We
address
you
today
regarding
your
failed
leader
of
your
failed
leadership
and
failures
to
protect
the
fundamental
rights
of
nevada's
in
this
in
nevadans.
E
E
We
have
filed
the
writ
of
mandamus,
which,
with
affidavit,
attacked
in
support
to
demand
the
governor
system
like
uphold
his
oath
with
one
voice.
We
demand
that
you
preserve
and
protect
our
freedom.
We
offered
you
ample
opportunities
to
address
these
issues,
yet
you
stood
by
wise
tyranny
while
tyrannical
governor
overreaching
mayors
and
unaccountable
federally
the
I.
A
E
E
Good
morning,
my
name
is
dr
tiffany
tyler
garner
and
I'm
calling
on
behalf
of
the
strong
star
prenatal
to
three
collaborative
as
a
member
of
the
children's
advocacy
alliance.
We
just
like
to
thank
you
for
your
willingness
to
consider
and
prioritize
the
needs
impacting
nevada's
children
and
families.
Critical
to
this
discussion
is
the
ongoing
need.
E
Are
encouraged
to
see
the
discussion
on
nevada's
child
care
landscape
agendas
today,
we
also
encourage
you
to
consider
investments
in
this
area
and
others,
including
infant
and
early
childhood
mental
health,
home
visiting
and
infant
and
toddler
child
care.
Thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
commitment
to
ensuring
that
we
all
recover
together.
E
Good
morning
my
name
is
liberal
johnson
and
I'm
representing
single
working
parents,
whose
income
falls
above
30
percent
of
the
federal
poverty
level,
but
below
85
percent
of
the
state's
median
income.
I
was
on
a
wait
list
to
receive
child
care
for
close
to
two
years
and
I
recently
came
up
and
got
denied.
E
E
The
state
does
not
supplement
child
care
passed
80,
which
makes
it
just
doesn't
make
sense
to
me
because
I
can
pay
half
like
we
can
go
half
on
it,
but
you
guys
are
willing
to
pay.
You
know
100
or
80
for
someone,
but
not
half
it
just
it
doesn't
make
sense
to
me.
So
I'm
just
here
speaking
for
the
working
parent
and
if
you
guys
could
please
allocate
some
discretionary
funds
and
increase
that
subsidy
for
us
working
parents.
E
Unneeded
good
good
morning,
madam
chair
and
members
of
this
committee,
my
name
is
anna,
marie
binder,
I'm
calling
from
clark
county-
and
I
just
wanted
to
call
in-
and
I
viewed
the
agenda
and
you
guys
are
going
to
be
discussing
some
stuff
for
department
of
health
and
or
I'm
sorry,
dcfs
and
department
of
health,
and
I
just
want
to
remind
the
state
that
the
office
of
civil
rights
issued
a
report
on
november
1st,
that
outlines
the
environment
of
nevada
and
it
has
several
recommendations
for
investment
for
our
children.
E
So,
if
you're
unfamiliar
with
that
report,
you
can
grab
it
right
off
of
the
office
of
civil
rights.
It's
dated
november
1st.
There
was
a
lot
of
time
put
into
this
and
it
very
much
addresses
the
need
for
behavioral
and
mental
health
and
expanding
professionals
and
aligning
like
state
licensing
with
sac
degrees,
expanding
higher
education
offerings
to
support
these
degrees.
I
am
a
mother
to
a
child
who
has
severe
behavioral
mental
health
issues.
E
He
is
almost
13
years
old
and
I've
been
navigating
that
through
our
system-
and
I
just
really
would
appreciate
a
review
of
that
report
and
putting
some
money
into
our
state
where
we
can
actually
start
helping
our
our
children.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
very
much
so
with
that
with
the
end
of
public
comment,
we
will
go
to
the
next
agenda
item
and
that
is
for
the
approval
of
the
minutes
of
october
5th
2021
meeting
of
the
ifc
subcommittee
and
the
meetings
have
the
minutes
have
been
prepared
by
the
staff
and
I
believe
all
members
have
should
have
received
a
copy
of
those
draft
minutes.
A
A
The
first
presentation
of
the
day
will
come
from
the
governor's
finance
office
on
the
status
of
the
cares
act,
corona
virus
relief
fund
and
presenting
today
we
have
susan
brown,
the
director
of
the
governor's
finance
office
and
leslie
mullen
camp
and
miss
brown
and
ms
molinkamp.
When
you're
ready,
please
feel
free
to
start.
H
Next
slide
on
this
slide,
you
can
see
a
snapshot,
the
snapshot
of
the
coronavirus
relief
fund
balance
sheet,
and
there
is
a
lot
of
information
on
this
document,
we'll
be
going
over
that
next.
For
now,
it's
important
to
note
that
the
total
amount
of
the
finalized
or
approved
allocations
is
currently
831
million.
Seventy
eight
thousand
one
hundred
ninety
nine
dollars,
so
this
leaves
just
under
five
million
dollars
in
remaining
corona
virus
relief
on
dollars.
As
noted
on
the
balance
sheet,
these
amounts
here
represent
the
actual
payments
made
from
march
2020
through
september
of
2021..
H
Because
of
this,
the
dollar
amounts
you
see
here
represent
both
the
actual
amounts
year
and
the
projected
expenses
for
the
month
of
december.
At
this
time,
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
lesley
mullenkamp
and
she
will
review
items
on
the
list
and
discuss
how
these
funds
were
spent
to
help
nevana
through
the
pandemic.
F
F
So
here
you
see
that
some
of
the
first
crf
payments
made
were
to
local
governments
with
populations
of
500,
000
or
less.
The
state
provided
a
total
of
148.5
million
dollars
to
nearly
every
county
and
city
in
the
state,
to
provide
financial
resources
and
to
help
manage
response
and
recuperation
efforts.
F
Lander
county
did
not
accept
their
allocation
and
esmeralda
county
only
requested
a
portion
of
funds.
So,
as
a
result,
1.1
million
dollars
was
returned
for
reallocation.
F
It
also
included
salaries
for
those
employees
whose
duties
shifted
substantially
to
respond
to
the
public
health
emergency
and
it
covered
public
health
and
public
safety,
regular
and
overtime
pay,
and
altogether.
These
allocations
total
300
336
million
dollars
for
fiscal
years,
20,
21
and
22.
F
These
funds,
augmented
other,
cares
act
allocations
that
were
distributed
to
k-12
through
the
elementary
and
secondary
school
emergency
relief
fund
or
esser,
and
the
governor's
emergency
education
relief
fund,
also
known
as
gear
crf.
Funds
were
used
to
develop
online
learning
programs
and
to
provide
connectivity
to
schools.
A
C
C
A
C
F
There
we
go
all
right
so
again,
these
funds
were
were
used
for
a
variety
of
purposes
and
again
they
were
to
supply
school
districts
with
ppe,
computers,
hot
spots
and
ventilation
system
upgrades
and
to
augment
any
funding
gaps
to
ensure
the
safe
opening
of
schools.
And
so,
as
you
can
see
here
on
the
slide,
the
total
allocation
of
crf
for
the
k-12
education
was
65
million
and
now
on
to
housing.
F
One
of
the
eligible
uses
of
crf
was
to
respond
to
the
secondary
effects
of
the
copa
19
emergency
by
providing
economic
support
for
housing.
Assistance
early
on
the
state
responded
by
using
crf
to
fund
a
rental
assistance
program
for
tenants
struggling
to
pay
rent
due
to
the
covet
19
economic
downturn.
F
The
state
also
funded
the
homeowner
connect
portal
to
offer
homeowner
mortgage
assistance.
The
state
also
assisted
with
additional
homeless
housing
in
washoe
county
to
accommodate
social
distancing
measures,
and
it
provided
funds
for
an
eviction
mediation
program
to
help
resolve
tenant
landlord
issues
and
to
help
prevent
evictions.
The
amount
allocated
towards
housing
programs
totaled
over
31
million
dollars.
F
F
The
department
of
tourism
also
received
an
allocation
of
crf
to
remarket
re-market
nevada
as
a
safe
is
a
place
that
safe
and
open
for
responsible
travel,
and
that
was
to
help
generate
tourism
dollars.
In
total,
the
workforce
development
economic
development
area,
those
programs
received
68
million
dollars
in
crf
allocations.
F
And
next
we
have
crf
allocations
related
to
food
assistance,
which
was
key
to
helping
citizens
comply
with
public
health
measures
and
helping
those
that
were
hit
hardest
by
the
economic
downturn.
Crf
funds,
augmented
other
care
act,
allocations
for
food
assistance
and
and
these
other
federal
dollars
were
routed
directly
to
state
agencies.
F
But
our
crf
allocations
for
food
assistance
included
grants
through
the
department
of
agriculture
to
community
organizations
and
public
entities
working
to
reduce
food
insecurity.
Agriculture
also
supported
a
grant
program
to
offset
reductions
for
the
agriculture
and
food
industries
caused
by
shutdowns.
F
F
It
was
also
used
to
promote
socially
distanced
elections
at
the
height
of
the
pandemic
and
assist
with
a
wireless
network
project
for
the
city
of
las
vegas.
Additionally,
crf
allocations
help
state
agencies
with
unanticipated
expenses
that
were
due
to
the
copen
19
pandemic.
This
included
supporting
expenses
such
as
additional
resources
for
the
unemployment
call
center
free
inmate
phone
calls
to
offset
the
elimination
of
in-person
visits
during
the
height
of
the
pandemic.
F
So
these
proposals
are
focused
on
expenses
that
can
simply
be
reimbursed
rather
than
trying
to
set
up
a
new
program
or
launch
a
new
program,
which
would
be
quite
a
tall
order
to
do
in
a
matter
of
weeks,
proposals
that
we're
looking
at
right
now,
center
around
telehealth
cove
overtime,
vaccination
testing
and
helping
to
replenish
the
ui
trust
fund.
These
are
some
of
the
options
that
are
on
the
table.
F
The
gfo
is
conducting
weekly
check-ins
with
programs
that
currently
are
using
dollars
through
the
end
of
the
year
to
ensure
that
their
projects
are
on
target
and
that
we
don't
have
any
remaining
dollars
left
on
the
table,
and
we
look
look
to
finalize
these
these.
These
proposals
that
you
see
here
for
the
remaining
dollars
within
the
coming
week.
F
The
gfo
is
dedicated
to
ensuring
that
all
crf
dollars
will
be
spent
by
the
end
of
the
year
and
with
that
director
brown
and
I
are
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
that
information
and
I
do
think
we
have
a
question.
Assemblywoman
had
a
picky,
would
you
go
ahead.
C
Thank
you
so
much
chair
and
I
just
wanted
to
go
back
to
the
housing
dollars.
I
I
wanted
to
see
if
you
could
walk
me
through
I've
read
that
nevada
was
one
of
the
states
that
wasn't
meeting
the
u.s
treasury
distribution
targets
and
distributing
the
rental
dollars
out.
Could
you
kind
of
update
us
on
the
rental
assistance
program
and
how
it's
going
and
what
we're
doing
to
get
those
dollars
in
the
hands
of
the
families
that
need
to
pay
their
rent
to
stay
in
their
home.
F
This
is
leslie
mullen
camp
for
the
record.
I
believe
I
I
am
aware
that
our
housing
division
has
been
absolutely
working
with
the
treasury.
I
I
do
believe
there
are
some
considerations
and
I
and
I
apologize
because
I
do
not
know
those
fully,
but
we
can
look
to
see
if
we
can
see
if
somebody
from
housing
maybe
can
can
speak
to
that
matter.
I
do
know
that
they
they
were
working
very
directly
with
the
treasury
to
ensure
that
that
was
corrected.
I
do
believe
it
may
be.
C
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Any
additional
questions
senator
brooks.
G
Thank
you
chair.
I
have
two
questions
and
my
first
question
is:
is
around
the
the
remaining
five
million
dollars?
If
well,
will
those.
H
Susan
brown,
for
the
record,
I
believe,
you're
asking
if
that
five
million
dollars
will
require
ifc
work
programs
and
if
so,
if
we
would
be
submitting
those
as
15
day.
H
G
Thank
you,
and
my
second
question
I
think,
is
to
ms
mullen
camp
and
it's
the
65
million
that
you
outlined
for
k
through
12
of
of
cares
and
crf
money.
Is
that,
in
addition
to
the
yes
or
gear
money,
which
was
a
couple
hundred
million
dollars,.
F
Leslie
mullen
camp
for
the
record.
Yes,
that
is
correct.
Definitely
we
wanted
to
point
out
that
there
were.
There
was
a
a
hundred
there
were.
There
were
millions
of
dollars
that
came
in
through
ether
and
gear
and
the
crf
paid
to
augment
that,
so
it
was
in
addition
to
those
funds.
A
A
Okay,
seeing
no
more
questions
we'll
go
to
the
next
agenda
item,
which
is
a
public
health
programs
presentation
and
that
will
be
a
presentation
also
from
the
governor's
office,
and
we,
I
believe
we
have
tim
robb,
the
state
pandemic
response
coordinator
and
mr
rob.
I
believe
you
have
several
agency
representatives
to
join
you
today.
So
when
you're
ready,
please
go
ahead.
D
Awesome
sorry
about
that
good
morning,
chair
donderloop,
my
name
is
tim,
rob
the
state
pandemic
response
coordinator
in
the
office
of
the
governor
members
of
the
subcommittee.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
to
present
on
a
few.
D
19
public
health
programs
that
we
have
going
in
the
state
we
do
have
several
people
joining
us
to
help
with
the
the
presentation.
So
many
of
the
subject
matter,
experts
that
we
have
in
the
state
to
be
able
to
help
us
through
this
pandemic
and
we
did
have
a
few
changes
so
they're,
not
the
exact
ones
that
are
in
the
slides
that
were
provided
to
you
today.
But
we
have
melissa
peak
bullock,
our
state
epidemiologist.
I
I
Looking
at
our
daily
new
cases,
with
the
14
day,
moving
average
and
you'll
notice,
a
general
smoothing
of
our
coven
metrics
on
that
blue
line,
which
indicates
progress
towards
a
sustainable
baseline
and
the
peaks
and
valleys,
are
approaching
much
more
slowly
and
are
less
extreme
in
magnitude
than
they
were
in
2020
next
slide.
Please.
I
And
as
of
november
30th,
2021,
almost
58
of
all
nevadans,
and
that
62
percent
of
nevadans
aged
over
five
have
initiated
vaccination
compared
to
no
vaccine
availability
in
2020.,
it's
likely
that
we
will
see
increases
in
cobit
in
the
upcoming
months.
However,
in
2020
in
the
winter
holiday
surge
it
peaked
on
november
30th,
we
did
have
some
additional
localized
peaks
on
december
28
and
january
4th,
which
followed
our
christmas
and
new
year's
day
holidays.
I
Next
slide,
please,
and
we
can
go
on
to
the
next
slide.
Thank
you.
According
to
the
current
lineage
data,
that's
produced
and
published
by
our
nevada
state
public
health
laboratory,
the
predominant
stars
kobe
32
lineage
in
the
over
the
past
30
days,
continues
to
be
the
delta
variant
currently
at
52.1
percent,
and
the
delta
variant
continues
to
be.
The
predominant
predominant
lineage
in
the
united
states
as
well.
I
The
b11529
or
omicron
variant
was
first
reported
to
the
world
health
organization
from
south
africa
on
november
24th
2021
and
was
subsequently
classified
as
a
variant
of
concern
both
by
the
world
health
organization
and
recently
by
the
united
states.
This
variant
has
been
identified
in
multiple
countries,
including
canada
and
now
here
in
the
us
next
slide.
Please.
I
I
We
can
make
some
predictions
about
the
impact
of
these
mutations
on
the
variant,
but
full
significant
remains
uncertain,
and
we
do
know
that
vaccines
remain
the
critical
tool
to
protect
us
against
severe
disease.
We
also
know
that
the
omicron
variant
has
infected
fully
vaccinated
persons
and
persons
that
have
recovered
from
the
delta
variant.
I
There's
no
systematically
collected
data,
yet
on
the
full
spectrum
of
signs
and
symptoms
and
severity
of
the
illness.
However,
south
african
public
health
authority
has
not
officially
reported
any
increases
in
the
proportions
of
hospitalizations
icu
admissions
or
deaths.
It
is
too
early
to
make
a
final
determination
on
the
severity,
but
at
this
time
it
does
appear
to
be
mild
overall
slide.
Please
there's
many
questions
that
still
need
to
be
answered
and
work
is
already
ongoing
to
do
so.
This
includes
the
extent
of
spread
of
this
variant.
I
I
I
All
passengers,
post
arrival
into
the
u.s,
will
be
required
to
test
upon
entry
and
self-quarantine
for
seven
days,
regardless
of
their
test
results
and
regardless
of
their
vaccination
status.
In
addition,
all
travelers
will
be
required
to
have
a
pcr
test
performed
three
to
five
days.
Post
arrival
and
again,
this
is
regardless
of
their
initial
post-arrival
test
result
and
regardless
of
their
vaccination
status,
travelers
will
sign
an
attestation
that
they
will
comply
with
both
the
testing
and
quarantine
requirements
and
isolation
requirements
if
they
become
positive
or
symptomatic.
I
I
And,
in
addition,
our
epidemiology
teams
across
the
state
will
continue
to
focus
on
outbreaks
and
special
settings.
These
epidemiology
teams
continue
to
prioritize
cases
among
special
populations.
They
monitor
for
outbreaks,
provide
mitigation
measures
to
control
any
outbreaks
by
slowing
and
stopping
the
continued
spread
of
copin
19,
and
these
settings
include
schools,
correctional
facilities,
health
care
settings
and
child
care
settings
and
I'll
just
close
by
saying
that
we
do
have
the
tools
to
continue
to
reduce
the
impact
of
covid
on
our
community
members
and
on
our
community
infrastructure.
I
C
C
C
5
years
and
older
have
initiated
vaccination,
53
of
nevadans
ages,
5
and
older
have
completed
vaccination
and
approximately
9
of
all
doses
administered
are
boosters
or
third
doses
for
immunocompromised
people.
Approximately
eight
percent
of
our
five
to
eleven
year
olds
have
initiated
vaccination
at
this
time.
I
C
Utilizing
authorized
funding
to
support
the
program
in
various
ways.
We
have
enhanced
staffing
for
the
nevada
state
immunization
program
considerably
to
ensure
that
we
are
able
to
meet
community
needs
and
deliver
the
copen19
vaccine
across
the
state,
as
well
as
enhance
and
support
nevada.
Web
ic.
C
We
are
also
working
on
vaccine
confidence
messaging
with
immunized
nevada
and
we
are
working
with
community-based
organizations
to
host
listening
sessions.
We've
been
working
with
immunized
nevada
in
the
minority,
health
and
equity
coalition
to
utilize
some
of
those
activities
we're
also
it
can
be
a
challenge
for
providers.
Vaccinating
providers
to
have
the
right
storage
equipment
to
handle
their
vaccine
appropriately.
So
we
have
a
mini
grant
program
working
with
immunized
nevada
for
providers
to
to
get
the
equipment
that
they
need
to
properly
store
the
vaccine.
C
C
C
Thank
you
shannon
and
hello.
Everyone.
Thank
you
for
your
time
today
for
the
record,
I
am
heidi
parker,
I'm
executive
director
of
immunized
nevada.
Today
I'll
walk
you
through
the
highlights
of
nevada's
vax
nevada
days
report
and
it's
an
assessment
of
the
eight-week
promotional
effort
that
we
put
together
in
collaboration
with
the
governor's
office.
This
past
summer,
it
was
created
to
help
incentivize
nevadans
to
get
a
covenanting
vaccine
and
it
rewarded
vaccinated
nevadans
with
a
chance
to
win
a
share
of
5
million
in
cash
and
prizes
simply
for
protecting
themselves
against
the
disease.
C
C
While
it
is
hard
to
draw
a
definitive
causality
line,
we
are
confident
that
vax
nevada
days
played
a
significant
role
in
driving
up
vaccination
numbers,
pushing
those
on
the
fence
or
those
that
yet
hadn't
gotten
around
to
it
being
part
of
the
vaccinated
group.
Next
slide
cash
prizes
ranged
from
one
thousand
dollars
to
the
million
dollar
grand
prize
and
vaccinated
12
to
17
year
olds,
qualified
to
win
a
529
education
savings
plan
which
ranged
between
five
thousand
and
fifty
thousand.
C
C
In
total,
we
had
2
000
winners
that
were
randomly
selected
from
all
nevadans
to
an
initiated
at
least
one
dose
of
a
covenanting
vaccine.
They
included
a
wide
variety
19
students,
11
members
of
the
military
and
25
healthcare
and
essential
workers,
just
to
highlight
a
few.
The
youngest
winner
was
12
years
old
and
the
oldest
was
83..
C
Many
of
these
prizes
were
life-changing
kids,
who
didn't
know.
If
they
could
afford
college,
they
could
suddenly
make
plans
to
go
people
with
debts
incurred
during
covered
job
layoffs,
suddenly
had
a
path
forward
and
most
significantly,
that
four
hundred
and
forty
thousand
nine
hundred
and
eighty
eight
additional
nevadans
got
protected
against
covered
in
eighteen.
Next

C
C
Vaccination
data
was
provided
by
the
nevada
health
response
team
and
coordinated
through
the
state
of
nevada,
immunization
program
and
immunized
nevada,
and
it
was
reflected
in
the
covered
health
response,
covenanting
dashboard
and,
lastly,
a
giant.
Thank
you
to
all
of
our
vaccinations
partners
as
well
as
immunized
nevada
staff
and
volunteers.
We
were
simultaneously
managing
this
project,
while
also
assisting
with
the
next
project
that
you
will
hear
about
get
out
the
vex.
D
By
the
the
federal
government,
and
so
the
the
get
out,
the
vaccine
mission
was
started
in
july
when
we
were
seeing
some
significant
increases
in
cases
in
the
clark
county
area
and
a
lot
of
challenges
that
came
along
with
that,
including
hospital
capacity
challenges
and
and
deaths
and
other
things
so.
Fema.
The
division
of
emergency
management,
southern
nevada,
health
district
and
an
incredible
amount
of
partners
came
together
to
come
up
with
solutions.
D
So
we
started
with
some
canvassing
strategies
and
they
used
information
to
get
people
to
those
nearby
clinics.
So
it
was
specifically
targeted
by
neighborhoods
and
zip
codes.
There
were
22
zip
codes
identified
by
low
vaccination
rates,
high
case
rates,
high
death
rates
and
social
vulnerability
criteria
that
were
really
looked
at
and
analyzed
to
find
the
gaps
and
where
people
maybe
are
not
getting
the
right
information
or
have
access
to
clinics
that
are
easily
or
close
by
to
their
home.
D
D
There
are
many
of
the
the
22
zip
codes
that
were
that
were
canvassed
and
and
outreach
too
that
had
success
as
well.
I
think
that
there
was
really
there
was
no
no
zip.
G
D
D
E
D
K
D
F
D
Here's
a
few
quick
numbers.
So
over
the
the
month
of
november,
a
total
of
12
625
flyers
were
distributed
and
targeted
social
media
continues
and
they've
identified,
16
unique,
zip
codes
and
continue
to
evolve
with
strategies
based
on
the
needs
in
the
community.
The
next
program
I
want
to
briefly
touch
on
is
the
cdc
foundation
partnership.
D
So,
within
the
the
governor's
office
we
were
bringing
on
members
of
the
nevada
health
response
team.
We
have
a
program
director.
We
have
a
strategic
communications
arm
with
some
support
staff,
private
business
sector
coordinator
and
a
project
manager
to
make
sure
that
we
have
all
of
the
resources
that
we
need
and
are
able
to
get
the
work
done.
D
I
D
On
the
division
of
emergency
management-
and
they
continue
to
be
an
incredible
asset
to
the
state
and
help
get
the
work
and
expertise
in
the
right
places
so
that
we
can
continue
to
work
through
the
pandemic
response,
and
with
that.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
time
for
allowing
us
to
present
these
pieces
of
the
response
to
you.
They're
just
a
few
of
the
very
many
things
that
are
happening
in
the
state.
A
C
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
chair.
If
we
could
go
back
to
slide
number
10
if
it's
possible,
please
I
have
some
questions
about.
C
I
know
I
know
a
lot
of
folks,
including
some
very
close
friends
of
mine
who
go
south
of
the
border
over
the
holidays,
especially
over
new
year's,
and
when
I
was
looking
at
that
slide,
it
came
to
me
when
they
come
back
or
are
they
going
to
be
required
to
quarantine
for
seven
days
and
I'm
not
sure
if
that's
out
there
in
the
public
yet
because
I
know
a
lot
of
folks
make
make
that
holiday
trip.
C
So
could
you
address
that
and
if,
if
so,
I
think
we
need
to
get
the
word
out
folks
that
they
need
to
account
for
that
week
when
they
come
back.
I
Yes,
the
list
of
people
for
the
record-
and
I
can
speak
to
that.
Yes,
they
will
be
any
passengers
that
will
be
entering
into
the
united
states,
will
be
required
to
to
quarantine
and
go
through
the
testing
measures
as
outlined.
I
do
believe
that
cdc
updated
their
website
today
to
reflect
this
information
and
we're
happy
to
push
out
communication
around
that
as
well.
C
I
Yeah,
the
recommendation
is
for
all
travelers
to
to
quarantine.
However,
the
air
passenger
travelers
will
be
going
to
the
airport
and
receiving
this
information
and
being
asked
to
attest
to
the
testing
and
the
quarantine
and
perhaps
isolation.
The
land.
Travelers
will
not
have
that
step,
but
it
is
still
recommended
that
they
they
follow
the
quarantine
when
they,
when
they.
C
I
Yeah
not
at
this
time,
there's
nothing
in
place
for
land
travel
officially.
So
it's
it's
really
at
this
time
put
out
as
a
recommendation.
The
way
they're
handling
this
at
that
at
this
time
is
through
air
travel.
I
And
we
we
would
hope
that
folks
would
would
adhere
to
the
quarantine,
regardless
of
their
their
mode
of
travel.
But
that
said,
the
the
the
information
is
really
focused
on
air
travel.
At
this
time.
C
G
Thank
you.
I,
my
question
is
around
that.
It
was
the
last
part
of
the
presentation
about
the
cdc
academy
and
is
that
this
is
that
completely
cbc
foundation.
Thank
you
is
that
completely
outside
of
cares
and
crf
funds
is
that
a
cdc
grant
type
situation
that
was
in
addition
to
those.
D
G
Now,
in
those
positions,
is
there
kind
of
a
timeline
associated
with
them?
You
you
get
to
reapply
for
the
grant.
In
a
certain
time
period,
senator.
D
A
Thank
you
very
much
any
additional
questions
from
the
committee.
I
don't
see
you
please
speak
up.
A
I
have
one
going
back
to
assemblywoman
carlton's
question
so
with
that
seven
day,
quarantine
and-
and
we
can
all
assume
that
children
would
be
part
of
that
because
they
would
be
with
a
family.
But
how
are
we
going
to
handle
that
going
back
into
schools?
Is
that
been
discussed
or
is?
Are
we
just
under
the
assumption
that
if
the
family
has
gone
together,
they
will
all
quarantine.
I
Yes,
that's
a
that's
exactly
right.
If
they've
all
gone
together,
they
will
quarantine
and
the
children
returning
will
be
quarantined
at
home
and
should
not
be
attending
school
during
that
seven
day
period.
D
A
A
Not
seeing
any
questions,
although
there
could
be
some
coming,
not
seeing
any
questions
we'll
go
to
the
next
agenda
item,
and
that
includes
presentations
from
three
executive
branch
agencies
on
how
they're
expanding
the
federal
coven,
19
relay
funding,
and
so
mr
acroff,
the
administration
and
minister
of
the
housing
division.
A
If
you
are
ready,
please
feel
free
to
go
ahead
when
you
are
there.
Thank
you.
J
Thank
you
there.
You
are
thank
you
chair,
don
darrell,
luke
and
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
steve
aycroth,
administrator
of
the
nevada
haslam
division
here
to
present
to
you,
the
current
status
and
history
of
the
housing
assistance
provided
during
the
pandemic
and
we're
going
to
start
with
the
single
largest
assistance
program,
and
that
is
rental
assistance.
J
Please
bear
with
me,
while
I
have
a
particular
set
of
skills,
zoom
and
screen
sharing
is
not
among
them.
So
hopefully
you
are
now
seeing
a
slide.
That's
headed
by
nevada,
housing,
division.
J
And
okay,
thank
you.
Senator
brooks
all
your
thumbs
up.
First,
I
I
want
to
remind
the
committee
of
sort
of
what
the
housing
division
does
during
blue
skies
and
pretty
much
solely
what
we
did
up
until
march
13th
of
2020,
and
that
is
providing
home
ownership
opportunities
for
our
home
as
possible
program,
the
production
and
preservation
of
multi-family
rentals
and
homes.
J
Through
our
tax
credit
programs,
we
have
oversight
of
state
and
federal
grants
that
come
in
for
housing
and
oversight
of
manufactured
housing
and
compliance.
J
So
our
pandemic
response
prior
to
any
federal
rental
assistance
provided
the
state,
as
previously
mentioned
by
miss
mullen
camp
combined
with
local
jurisdictions
using,
and
we
all
use
coronavirus,
drivers,
relief,
funds
for
rental
assistance
and
I'm
going
to
spend
a
bit
of
time
here
discussing
not
necessarily
the
funding
but
the
architecture,
because
that
sort
of
frames.
What
we're
going
to
talk
about
here
in
the
future,
so
clark
county
initiated
their
chat
program
with
their
own
funding
of
30
million.
J
J
We
engaged
the
reno
housing
authority
and
the
nevada
rural
housing
authority
to
serve
the
rest
of
the
state.
The
reno
housing
authority
was
provided,
initially
5
million
for
washoe
county
the
city
of
reno
and
sparks
also
added
additional
funding
and
the
nevada
rural
housing
authority.
We
provided
solely
five
million
dollars
in
initial
funding
that
gave
us
coverage
throughout
the
state.
It
also
sort
of
created
a
structure
where
there
could
be
no
duplication
of
benefits.
So
if
you
were
clark
failing
resident,
you
had
to
be
pointed
to
clark
county
social
services.
J
Following
the
cares
act,
emergency
rental
assistance
was
provided
through
the
federal
government
and
there
were
two
programs.
The
first
one
was
208
million
and
we're
going
to
call
that
era
one
and
that
was
passed
by
the
consolidated
consolidated
appropriations
act
back
in
december
of
2020
and
then,
of
course,
with
the
american
rescue
plan.
We
received
an
additional,
but
we
haven't
received
it
yet,
but
we
were
allocated
or
will
be
allocated,
potentially
another
185
million
in
residential
rental
assistance.
J
So
going
back
to
era
one
when
that
program
was
announced,
we
worked
very
diligently
with
our
current
partners
and
we
all
felt
that
we
could
continue
effectively
that
same
structure.
So
we
worked
with
clark,
county
social
services,
the
reno
housing
authority,
again
nevada,
rural
housing
authority
and
we
did
bring
in
home
means
nevada.
Also
as
they
were
running
or
will
soon
to
be
running
the
eviction
mediation
program,
so
when
that
was
established
legislatively
we
were
able
to
support
them
with
era
1
funds.
J
J
So,
while
we've
received,
while
we've
been
identified
to
receive
185
million,
the
state
throughout
all
the
entities
has
has
just
received
74
million
and
those
funds
expire
september,
30th
2025.,
so
they
have
much
more
of
a
spend
out
period.
Now,
I'm
moving
into.
J
Hopefully
you
can
see
a
spreadsheet,
that's
labeled,
nevada,
housing
assistance
and
I'm
going
to
talk
you
through
sort
of
exactly
what
this
looks
like
in
its
entirety
so
table
table.
One
shows
the
distribution
of
funding
by
county
with
specific
crf
funds.
So
the
29.1
million
that
ms
mullen
camp
identified
the
additional
that
clark
county
provided
of
their
funds,
and
you
can
see
there
that
basically
108
million
dollars
was
provided
in
rental
assistance
prior
to
the
establishment
of
the
federal
funding.
J
J
Once
we
were
able
to
receive
the
era
1
funds,
we
had
a
bit
of
a
struggle
because
that
was
a
new
funding
source
and
there
were
different
eligibility
requirements.
Different
rules,
different
guidance.
Those
challenges
have
been
well
documented
by
mere
reports
at
the
time.
But
ultimately
the
program
was
going
up
in
april
and
moving
forward
significantly
in
may
so
table
two
shows
the
current
spend
out.
As
of
october
31st
by
county,
you
will
notice
in
clark
and
washoe
counties.
J
Local
jurisdictions
received
their
own
funds
of
era
assistance,
but
because
of
the
infrastructure
that
was
created
through
the
previous
chapter,
rental
assistance,
those
jurisdictions
rolled
their
funding
to
both
clark,
county
social
service
and
the
reno
housing
authority,
and
in
fact
the
clark
county
program
was
recognized
by
the
u.s
treasury
as
a
promising
practice
in
their
partnership
programs
as
listed
on
their
website.
J
So
as
of
october
31st,
114
million
dollars
has
been
provided.
Assisting
18
000
households
through
this
program,
and
you
can
see
the
breakdown
by
county
and
the
number
of
households
assisted
table.
Three
shows
how
much
has
been
provided
to
date
through
the
use
of
both
of
those
funds
era.
1
and
crf
so
total
provided
as
of
october
31st
through
all
the
programs,
is
over
220
million
dollars.
J
J
How
do
you
answered
and
I'll
try
to
spend
some
time
here,
because
this
is
pretty
pretty
critical,
while
the
state
received
208
million,
the
true
value
for
expenditure
is
187
million
and
that's
because
10
is
allowed
for
administration
of
funds,
so
that
now
becomes
the
denominator
on
the
expenditure
of
funds
that
from
the
entirety
is,
is
187
million
and
all
those
jurisdictions
in
that
column
show
that
the
10
has
been
adjusted
for
for
administration
now,
65
percent
expenditure
rate
on
september
30
30
was
a
key
date
in
this
guidance
and
triggered
potential
reallocation
of
funds.
J
So
anything
that's
below
that
percentage.
In
that
last
column,
below
65
percent
effectively
was
potentially
subject
to
reallocation
and
if
a
jurisdiction
had
not
spent
30
of
the
funds,
then
a
program
improvement
plan
had
to
be
submitted
and
regardless
of
not
meeting
the
65
percent.
If
you
submitted
a
program
improvement
plan,
then
you
are
not
going
to
be
subject
to
reallocation
and
when
we
talk
about
reallocation,
it's
very
important
to
know
here
per
treasury
guidance.
J
Any
reload
reallocations
would
first
occur
within
the
state.
So
if
the
state
is
below
that
30
level,
our
funding
would
be
distributed
to
a
higher
performing
entity
which
in
this
case,
would
be
clark,
county,
social
services,
henderson
or
las
vegas.
Basically,
all
that
would
be
routed
through
clark
county,
but
the
design
of
our
program
already
allows
for
that
and
the
state
funding
really
kicks
in
when
the
local
funding
jurisdiction
funding
has
been
exhausted.
J
Now
I'm
going
to
move
on
to
the
next
spreadsheet,
which
is
sort
of
this.
This
comes
direct
from
treasury.
I've
modified
it
a
little
bit
for
cleanup
for
this
presentation,
and
this
is
the
expenditure
by
state
for
all
entities
within
that
state,
so
the
state
and
the
local
jurisdiction
funding
sort
of
cobbled
into
one,
and
if
you
roll
down
to
row,
17
you'll
see
nevada.
J
J
K
J
So
the
second
tab
here
shows
yep
the
spend
out
of
era
2
in
nevada,
and
you
will
see
six
percent
of
our
40
or
the
40
being
74
million
dollars
has
been
sent
again
by
state,
that's
19th
in
the
country.
You
also
see
that
this
is
just
getting
started.
As
you
look
across
the
months
here,
the
priority
is
to
expend
those
era-
funds
era,
one
fund,
sorry,
as
they
have
an
earlier
expiration
date
and
then
the
era
ii
funds
can
be
used
until
2025.
J
J
I
would
also
like
to
state
that
this
is
not
necessarily
a
bad
thing.
You've
been
may
have
read
recent
reports
of
jurisdictions
stopping
their
programs
because
of
the
structure
we've
created
here
in
nevada,
should
any
local
entities
spend
out
their
funds
quickly?
The
state
will
then
provide
them
the
funding
effectively.
Our
programs
will
not
stop
until
funding
throughout
the
state
is
completely
exhausted.
J
D
Mr
across
this
is
wayne
thorley
with
lcb
fiscal
chair,
don
darrell
loop.
C
Got
kicked
out
of
the
meeting,
so
she's
logging
back
in
so
senator
brooks.
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
take
over
duties.
G
Yeah
I'll
take
over
and
I
have
a
question
but
I'd
like
to
give
the
the
committee
members
opportunity
to
ask
first.
If
there
are
any,
I
see
assemblywoman,
hattigy
yeah.
Please
go
right
ahead.
C
Thank
you
and
thank
you
so
much
director
a-croft.
This
was
actually
very
helpful
and
will
help
helpful
and
will
help
us
take
back
information
to
our
districts,
because
I
think
there
was
a
lot
of
misinformation
out
there
about
where
nevada
stood
in
the
distributions
of
the
rental
assistance
funds.
And
this
is
actually.
C
C
J
Steve
across
for
the
record,
that
is
the
first
step
in
the
reallocation
process.
So
if,
for
some
reason
the
funding
couldn't
get
spent
in
its
entirety
through
the
state,
then
potentially
it
could
get
shifted
to
another
state.
That's
really
not
going
to
happen,
we'll
never
get
to
that
step.
Two,
because
we're
doing
a
pretty
good
job
of
getting
the
funding
out
and
getting
it
to
these
entities.
It's
that's
more,
a
small
state
that
wasn't
really
right-sized.
J
You
know
a
state
like
north
dakota
or
south
dakota,
some
of
those
states
that
you
saw
towards
the
bottom
of
the
list
if
it
even
displayed
on
the
screen.
So
those
are
the
ones
that
that
are
more
at
risk
of
having
their
state
funding
being
moved
to
another
state.
C
Thank
you,
director,
a
croft
and
chair.
Can
I
follow
up?
Please
please
go
ahead,
I'm
back
okay,
thank
you,
director
aircraft,
and
just
to
follow
up
to
that
question
that
you
said
that
that
would
be
the
first
step,
reallocation
from
state
like
the
state
to
maybe
clark
county.
Do
we
know
our?
Is
that
going
to
happen
or
no
I
mean
because
we
were
very
close,
61
distribution
of
funds
to
65,
which
was
the
goal.
I
think
that's
very
close.
So
is
I
mean?
C
Is
that
likely
to
happen
or
will
the
state
still
be
in
control
of
the
money
and
not
have
to
reallocate
their
funds.
J
At
this
point,
as
long
as
we
stay
above,
it
started
at
a
30
level
on
september
30th
it
increases
per
month.
So
as
long
as
we
are
well
ahead
of
that
increase,
we
will
never
be
susceptible
to
the
reallocation,
and
I
will
tell
you
that
virtually
all
the
local
jurisdiction
funding
has
been
extinguished
in
clark
county,
so
they
are
using
primarily
state
funding
now.
So
I
don't
anticipate
that
happening.
C
And
just
last
question
chair
and
then
just
by
my
calculations,
you
said
that
we
had.
It
was
187
million,
plus
the
administration
administrative
costs,
so
it
was
about
220
million
that
had
been
distributed.
So
we
still
once
we
get
the
entire.
J
We
we
have
185
million
some
of
that
at
our
potential.
Looking
at
it.
I
think
we
had
spent
seven,
so
that's
180
roughly
and
then
we
have
and
I'd
have
to
go
back
to
the
spreadsheets
and
take
a
look,
but
there
is
significant
funding
to
continue
this
program
for
quite
a
while.
I
guess
is
the
best
way
I'll
answer
that.
A
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
senator
brooks
in
my
brief
absence
where
the
computer
decided
to
stop
and
please
go
ahead
with
your
questions.
Senator
brooks.
G
G
Oh
okay,
and
how
how
many
homes
of
all
sorts
do
we
have
in
the
state
of
nevada?
Is
that
a
number
that
you
keep
rentals
and
and
homes
and.
C
G
All
right
well,
thank
you.
That's
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
see
what
the
scope
of
this
was.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
additional
questions
from
the
committee.
Please,
let
me
know
if
I
don't
see
you
assemblywoman
haragi.
Another
question
go
ahead.
Please.
C
C
Their
dollars
reallocated
how
other
states
would
become
eligible
for
those
dollars
if
there's
still
a
need,
like
would
nevada,
be
eligible
to
receive
some
of
the
reallocated
dollars.
J
Yeah,
there
are
certain
standards
that
we
have
to
meet
in
in
expenditure
ratios,
and
then
we
would
have
to
request
from
treasury
a
real
reallocation,
and
I
will
tell
you
that
there
has
been
I'm
on
a
weekly
call
with
all
the
states
effectively
regarding
this
through
another
entity.
And
there
are
some
states
that
are
gonna
have
to
voluntarily
return
some
of
their
funding
because
they
just
don't
have
the
population
and
the
need.
J
A
Okay,
thank
you
additional
questions.
I'm
senator
brooks.
I
see
your
hand
for
a
second
time
go
ahead.
Please.
G
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
ask
another
question:
I'm
just
trying
to
kind
of
get
at
some
percentages
here
and
so
do
you
know
what
the
average
occupants
of
a
home
in
the
state
of
nevada
are?
Is
it
like
4.2
or
something
like
that.
J
I
think
it's
lower
than
that.
I
don't
have
that
statistic
right
at
my
at
at
my
fingertips,
but
I
I
do
believe
it's
lower
than
that,
but
I'm
not
100
sure.
Okay,
thank
you.
J
That's
that's
my
guess.
We
have
a
lot
of
single
seniors.
We
have
a
lot
of
couples
and
there's
just
not.
J
A
Thanks
so
much,
I
see
assemblywoman
carlton's
hand
up
go
ahead.
Please.
C
And
thank
you,
madam
sharon.
The
discussion
has
kind
of
gone
this
way.
This
was
purely
rental
assistance
and
what
we
found
out
was
we
had
a
lot
of
folks
reaching
out
who
had
mortgages
and
with
the
mortgages.
So
I
think,
in
order
to
take
a
real
look
at
this,
especially
I
think
where
senator
brooks
is
going.
We
would
have
to
take
those
home
home
owners
out
and
truly
look
at
just
rental
assistance
and
how
many
folks
and
it
broke
up
during
some
of
this
conversation.
C
So
I
hope
I'm
on
the
right
path
and
also
keep
in
mind
that
a
lot
of
folks
that
got
rental
assistance
got
six
months
worth.
Very
large
checks
were
being
cut
to
landlords,
so
it
was
long
term
stabilization
that
we
were
looking
for
in
that
that
first
round
of
funding,
so
I
guess
in
order
to
really
get
a
percentage
of
folks
that
have
been
impacted
by
these
programs,
we
would
have
to
take
the
home
ownership
number
out
and
look
at
pure
rental
units
in
the
state.
If
that's,
if
that's,
where
you
were
going
senator.
A
G
Thank
you
for
clarifying
that
assuming
one
carlton,
because
that's
exactly
where
I'm
trying
to
get
I'm
trying
to
I'm
trying
to
make
some
sort
of
correlation
between
the
amount
of
unemployed
people
in
the
state
of
nevada,
how
many
of
those
unemployed
people
live
in
a
household
in
the
state
of
nevada.
How
many
households
have
received
persistence,
whether
it
be
rental
assistance,
mortgage
assistance
and
how
many
rental
households
how
many
mortgage
holding
households
are
in
the
state
of
nevada?
G
It
seems
that
there's
a
good
correlation
between
folks
who
lost
their
jobs
due
to
the
pandemic,
the
households
that
they
live
in,
how
many
of
those
people
who
lost
their
jobs
share
a
household
and
what
type
of
household
it
is
that
received
assistance,
and-
and
for
me
that
gives
me
some
sort
of
understanding
of
when
this
assistance
won't
be
required
anymore
and
how
many
households
are
getting
it.
That
may
not
necessarily
need
it
any
longer,
and
so
that's
I'm
just
trying
to
wrap
my
head
around
that
and
it
should
be
a
pretty
data-driven
conversation.
G
J
Yeah,
I
I
I'm
stephen
across
the
record.
I
understand
where
you're,
where
you're
headed
and
what
you're,
what
you're
the
end
result
of
what
you're
trying
to
to
get
to.
So
I
can
have
staff
work
on
that.
A
Thank
you
so
much
additional
questions
from
the
committee.
A
Not
seeing
any
we'll
transition
into
chair.
J
A
J
So
there's
a
number
of
programs
that
were
established
during
the
pandemic.
One
of
them
was
emergency
solution
grant
cb.
J
Now
the
division
gets
emergency
service
grants
annually
from
hud
in
the
amount
of
about
400
000
through
legislation
we
received
7.8
million
this
year
in
additional
emergency
grant,
cv
and
you'll
see
that
the
state
received
40
million,
32
million
was
provided
directly
to
local
jurisdictions.
We
got
roughly
almost
8
million.
J
These
funds
must
be
used
specifically
to
prevent,
prepare
for
respond
to
coronavirus
regarding
those
who
are
homeless
or
and
need
homeless
assistance.
So
we
were
able
to
fund
11
agencies
across
the
state
and
get
this
money
out
the
door.
These
funds
expire
on
september,
30th
2022
and
it
most
of
the
I
should
say
most
of
it's
tied
from
the
admin.
These
funds
are
in
the
hand
of
those
11
agencies
that
are
providing
rapid,
rehousing
and
things
of
that
nature
across
the
state.
J
We
also
will
be
receiving
6.7
million
in
national
housing
trust
funds
and
those
are
provided
solely
to
the
state
and
again,
this
is
something
we
typically
receive
three
million
dollars
annually,
so
this
was
another
boost
that
was
provided
through
the
federal
government.
J
We've
identified
six
projects
which
will
receive
this
money,
and
these
are
funds
specifically
used
to
produce
and
preserve,
affordable
housing
for
extremely
low
and
low
income,
households.
So
they're
incorporated
into
our
nine
percent
tax
credit
program,
these
funds
expire
in
2028..
J
We
also
will
be
receiving
home
arp
funds
and
that's
again,
37
million
statewide.
You
can
see
the
breakdown
there.
The
state
will
be
receiving
an
additional
6.4
million
on
top
of
the
3
million
that
we
receive
annually,
but
the
home
arp
funds
are
they
kind
of
expanded
the
scope
of
the
arp
funds
to
backstop?
J
If
you
will
the
esg
and
they
are
supposed
to
be
used
again
for
homelessness
prevention
guidance
just
came
out
a
couple
months
ago
and
we
have
to
do
a
plan
and
because
these
funds
expire
in
2030,
as
indicated,
we
have
a
little
bit
of
a
longer
bandwidth
to
do
this.
J
J
We
will
be
administering
that
through
the
nevada,
affordable
housing,
assistance,
corporation
or
nehac
10
was
advanced
and
approved
to
to
the
state
to
create
infrastructure,
hire
staff
and
begin
a
pilot
program.
That
pilot
program
was
launched
by
nahak
on
november
15th.
J
The
remaining
90
will
be
advanced
to
the
state
once
our
haf
plan
is
approved
by
treasury
and
we
submitted
the
plan
on
august
18th
2021.
After
all,
the
guidance
was,
and
the
templates
were
established
by
treasury
treasury
reached
back
about
a
month
ago
for
some
discussion
and
some
clarifying
questions.
We
have
answered
those
questions.
We
are
still
awaiting
treasury
approval
and
to
our
knowledge,
on
a
call
that
I
was
on
yesterday,
only
three
states
had
received
approval
of
their
plans.
J
Basically,
the
ball
is
in
treasury's
court
now
to
either
come
back
and
ask
additional
questions
or
approve
the
plan
as
submitted,
so
that
that
is
in
process
and
we'll
be
coming
to
you.
Hopefully,
soon
for
an
additional
110
million
dollars
to
assist
homeowners
through
nevada.
J
Also,
we
have
been
involved
heavily
with
the
division
of
emergency
management.
We
are
their
rs4
primary
lead
for
response
for
recovery
for
disasters
in
the
state
and
we're
banned.
So
we
were
pointed
out
that
way,
because
we
have
the
existing
relationships
with
all
our
housing
providers,
the
local
jurisdictions,
the
phas
developers,
non-profit
agencies,
federal
agencies
and,
and
even
through
this
entire
process.
J
Of
course,
we've
been
involved
heavily
with
the
governor's
office,
even
the
supreme
court
and,
of
course,
the
treasurer's
office
who
has
taken
a
deep
dive
into
housing,
even
though
it's
not
on
their
scope
of
business
typical
business.
So
I
want
to
sort
of
emphasize
here
that
we've
done
all
this
post
march,
13th
of
2020.
J
we're
still
titling
permitting
manufactured
homes,
insurance
compliance
which
we
have
oversight
over.
We
are
in
the
process
of
getting.
We
have
received
approval
and
are
currently
working
with
our
our
partners
to
develop
over
2
100,
affordable
units
and
assisted
over
1600
home
buyers
through
our
homeowner
assistance
program
during
the
pandemic.
J
So
going
back
to
where
we
started
with
sort
of
our
blue
sky
operations,
I
I
really
want
to
take
a
moment
here
to
commend
all
our
partners
that
are
mentioned
legislators
and
my
team
at
the
housing
division
that
we've
been
able
to
really
ensure
and
and
make
sure
that
we
create
new
housing
opportunities,
provide
the
housing,
stability
and
and
keep
everything
going.
The
way
it
is,
and
so
anyway,
with
that
I
I'll
get
off
my
soapbox
and
and
take
any
questions.
A
Thank
you,
mr
across
any
questions
from
the
committee
looking
across
at
all
of
you.
I
don't
think
I
see
any.
A
So
we
thank
you
so
much
for
this
information.
It's
very
valuable
and
we
appreciate
all
you
and
your
team
have
done
so
with
that.
A
If
you
are
finished,
mr
across,
we
will
jump
to
the
next
presentation,
which
will
be
the
executive
branch
agency
of
the
department
of
wealth
of
welfare
and
supportive
services
and
ms
chappelle,
the
deputy
administrator
with
that
department,
will
present
on
how
her
agency
is
spending
this
federal
covert,
19
relief
funding
and
ms
chappelle,
when
you
are
ready,
please
go
ahead.
A
B
Morning,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
marco
chapel
for
the
record
for
the
division
of
welfare
and
supportive
services.
Just
for
point
of
clarification
broadcast
am
I
sharing
my
screen
or
are
you
going
to
put
up
my
slides.
D
B
Did
I
get
kicked
out,
miss
chapel?
This
is
wayne
thorley
from
lcb
physical.
We
can
hear
you,
we
can
see
your
screen.
It
generally
helps
to
do
a
full
screen
view
that.
D
B
Even
as
is
okay,
thank
you
because
I
I
on
my
screen,
it
looks
like
it's
full
screen,
so,
if
any,
if
anybody
wants
to
give
me
feedback
on
what
I
can
do
differently,
I'm
certainly
open
to
it.
So
anyway,
I
apologize
for
that
delay.
Thank
you
so
much.
B
My
name
is
margot
chapel
for
the
record
again,
and
this
is
a
slide
indicating
that,
with
all
the
child
care
funding,
we've
gotten
through
covid
that
we
have
been
addressing
26
projects
in
all
seven
categories
of
the
strategic
enhancements
declared
by
in
the
governor's
plan,
and
so
we
have
planned
actually
I'll.
Just
take
you
to
the
next
slide,
but
but
clarify
that
the
size
of
each
colored
section
relates
to
the
number
of
projects
in
each
area,
not
the
amount
of
money
spent.
B
Nevada
has
already
was
already
implementing
important
projects
related
to
family,
supports
provider,
supports
and
system
improvements.
This
influx
of
funding
is
allowing
us
to
enhance
existing
programs
and
projects.
This
slide
shows
that
existing
those
existing
programs
in
regular
font
and
new
programs
are
projects
that
we're
preparing
to
to
implement
or
are
in
the
process
of
implementing
in
bold.
B
I
believe
you
have
received
a
document
describing
all
the
programs
on
this
slide,
so
I
will
not
go
into
detail
unless
you
would
like
me
to
so
I'll
pause
for
a
minute
and
ask
if
you
would
like
me
to
describe
any
of
these
programs
on
this
slide.
B
B
A
provider
grants
that
we
issued
through
the
the
three
different
funding
sources
we
received
in
may
of
2020
we
received,
cares,
act,
funding
and
the
provider
grants
were
required
to
for
20
to
go
to
staff,
20
percent
reduced
cost
in
some
way
to
families
such
as
lowering
fees
or
co-pays,
providing
supplies,
meals,
etc
and
providers
were
given
flexibility
and
how
they
would
do
this.
It
was
up
to
the
provider
to
propose
how
they
passed
that
20
savings
on
to
families.
B
We
are
looking
at
additional
increases,
considering
the
long-term
impact,
as
the
previous
caller
in
during
public
comment
mentioned,
so
we
have
remove,
remove
the
waiting
list
directing
our
funded
partners
to
process
all
applications
and,
most
importantly,
I'd
like
to
draw
your
attention
to
the
middle
rectangle
at
the
bottom,
and
thank
many
of
you
for
approving
an
agency
manager
who
can
provide
leadership
during
this
unprecedented
time
of
this
funding
that
has
come
to
nevada.
B
And
then,
finally,
over
here,
I'd
like
to
just
summarize
and
the
final
rectangle
at
the
bottom,
that
for
provider
supports,
we
have
provided
operational,
supports,
workforce
engagement,
improved
business
practices
for
family
supports,
we
are
doing
cost
reduction
measures
for
them,
increasing
access
to
quality
and
equity
of
services,
and
then
for
system
improvements.
We
are
working
on
data
management
and
automation,
policy,
alignment
and
equitable
and
sustainable
support
and,
in
our
final
slide,
nevada
has
about
170
000
children
between
the
ages
of
0
and
12
that
are
200
percent
of
the
federal
poverty
level.
B
B
Before
covid,
we
had
grown
to
ten
thousand
children
serving
about
six
percent
of
the
need,
but
we
couldn't
have
sustained
that
caseload
over
time
with
the
funds
nevada
receives
in
our
regular
annual
appropriation.
We
have
had
to
wait.
We
we
have
had
a
waiting
list
in
place
to
keep
our
caseload
manageable.
However,
the
recent
influx
of
spending
allowed
us
to
eliminate
it
and
about
60
percent
of
children.
0
to
12
in
nevada,
are
infants
and
toddlers
and
about
two
percent
of
children
in
nevada.
B
Under
the
age
of
five
have
a
disability
if
they
work
well,
perhaps
we
can
build
these
pilots
out
to
serve
more
children
and
families.
Funding
is
being
utilized
to
establish
a
pilot
project
creating
contracted
slots
for
approximately
200
infants
and
toddlers
in
high
quality
programs
in
high
need
areas
each
year
over
the
next
two
year
project
period
and
the
funding
will
include
an
enhanced
rate
for
the
slots
to
improve
access
to
care
for
that
population.
B
A
Thank
you
so
very
much
and
miss
chapel.
I
have
corrected
myself
and
apologies
for
saying
your
last
name
wrong.
Any
questions
from
the
committee.
A
I
just
have
one
with
with
the
information
that
you
gave
us
about.
The
children
are
we
are
we
short
anything
in
there
are
we?
Are
we
missing
any
children,
or
is
that
covering
what
we
need
to
cover.
B
Well,
as
of
right
now,
we
are
serving
every
child
that
has
applied
to
the
level
that
we
possibly
can,
and
so
we
have
no
waiting
list
and
we
are
hopeful
that
we
can
serve
even
more
children
and
and
we've
convened
some
work
groups
in
conjunction
with
the
governor's
office
and
so
we're
looking
at
how
we
can
serve
more
children.
We're
looking
at
engaging
employers
more
in
child
care,
as
benefits
and
options
for
that,
and
and
so
many
several
different
things
that
we're
looking
at
right
now.
B
Workforce
development
pipeline
business,
incubation
for
child
care
benefits
and
wrap
around
services
for
children
that
may
need,
like
behavioral,
supports
or
other
individual
needs.
A
B
So
several
different
options
we
have
now.
We
now
have
a
website,
that's
nevadachildcare.org,
where
any
parent
or
provider
can
go
and
get
information
on
subsidies
for
families
or
for
providers,
any
grants
that
are
available
to
them
or
services
and
supports
that
are
available
to
them,
and
then
we
also
have
the
children's
cabinet,
who
is
our
partner
in
the
north,
distributing
the
child
care
subsidies
and
in
the
south,
the
urban
league
and
both
of
them
do
outreach
as
well.
B
We
also
are
one
of
the
projects
you
saw
in
the
list
you
were
sent
of
the
projects.
We're
funding
is
a
child
care
hub,
and
so
those
were
that
that
will
be
a
hybrid
of
a
a
virtual
hub
where
people
can
get
that
information
such
as
the
website
that
I
just
mentioned,
but
also
there
will
be
physical
spaces
in
las
vegas
and
in
reno.
B
The
las
vegas
office
is
actually
slated
to
open
mid-month
this
in
december
and
they'll
be
having
probably
a
grand
opening
in
in
jan
mid
to
late
january,
and
actually
I
apologize.
I
think,
they're
moving
in
in
mid
december,
not
opening.
A
Thank
you
very
much
for
that
information.
Any
additional
questions
from
the
committee
senator
sievers
cancer.
Please
go
ahead.
H
B
You
margot
chapel,
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
the
question
we
are.
We
are
still
I
I'm
sorry.
So
the
first
question
was
about
the
whether
we're
doing
enrollment
and
yes,
we
are
still
basing
it
on
enrollment.
With
the
covent
pandemic,
we've
had
a
number
of
children.
B
We
some
facilities
have
still
had
to
close
down,
but
they've
also
had
to
eliminate
children,
and
so
we
want
that
stability
for
them
and
not
to
lose
out
on
that
funding,
because
we
know
they
don't
make
a
lot
of
money
in
the
first
place
and
then
and
then.
Secondly,
this
the
stipends
are
a
one-time
thing
right
now,
but
we
are
looking
at
sustainability
of
of
doing
those
ongoing
or
addressing
the
wages
as
an
issue
and
benefits
for
child
care
staff.
C
Thank
you,
and
what
do
those
stipends
look
like?
Is
it?
Is
it
a
per
hours
or
per
employee?
Is
it
based
on
enrollment
in
a
facility?
How
does
that
work.
B
So
I
think
we
I
want
to
make
sure
we're
using
stipends
in
the
same
way.
Are
you
asking
a
question
about
the
individual
stipends
we're
giving
to
people
who
work
in
child
care
facilities.
C
Well,
what
I
saw
as
provider
supports,
I
saw
staff
stipends.
So
so
I
think
yes,
because
I
know
you're
probably
giving
money
to
facilities,
so
they
can
stay
open
and
sound
like
that
was
based
on
enrollment.
So
whether
the
students
are
there
or
not
you're
trying
to
keep
the
capacity
and
keep
them
open.
But
then
it
looks
like
you're
also
doing
some
at
the
wage
level
for
the
individuals
who
work
there.
B
Yes,
thank
you
for
the
clarification
margo
chapel
for
the
record.
We
are
about
to
we're
prepping
to
distribute
a
thousand
dollars
per
individual,
who
is
on
the
nevada
registry,
which
is
a
requirement,
a
licensing
requirement,
and
so
any
individual
child
care
provider
who
works
in
a
licensed
facility.
Who
is
in
the
nevada
registry,
which
should
be
a
100
of
that
staff
that
work
in
those
facilities
will
be
will
have
access
to
that
thousand
dollar
stipend
soon
it
has
not
been
distributed.
B
Yet
we're
still
in
the
process
of
making
sure
the
children's
cabinet
and
urban
link
have
that
funding
to
distribute
and,
and
so
that,
should
roll
out
soon.
C
No
longer
work
in
child
care,
but
they're
still
on
the
registry.
You
know:
how
does
that
work
to
make
sure
we
get
the
dollars
to
the
people
who
are
who
have
been
working
and
continue
to
work
in
child
care.
B
Marco
chapel
for
the
record,
our
partner,
the
the
nevada
association
for
the
education
of
young
children,
who
operates
the
teach
scholarship
program
which
pays
for
college
education
for
for
early
childhood
educators
in
child
care
provider
in
child
care
licensed
child
care
facilities
is
distributing
that
and
they
have
rules.
They
will
be
checking
they're
going
to
work
closely
with
the
nevada
registry
to
make
sure
that
the
person
still
is
working
in
a
facility.
A
Not
seeing
any
hands,
I
thank
you
very,
very
much
for
this
information
and
all
your
hard
work
during
this
time
and
we
will
move
on
to
the
division
of
public
and
behavioral
health,
and
this
is
the
last
presentation
under
a
gen
agenda.
Item
f
and
I
believe
ms
reynolds
and
miss
peak
are
going
to
present.
So
please
go
ahead
when
you're
ready.
C
C
C
Slide
three
provides
an
overview
of
the
crf
treasury
funds
we've
received.
We've
received
just
over
eight
million
dollars
since
craft
treasury
reimbursement
funds
for
payroll
overtime,
ppe
and
telework
equipment.
We've
also
received
over
80
million
dollars
in
crf
treasury
reimbursement
for
specific
project
initiatives.
C
K
Hi
everybody
chair,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
talk
today
again,
julia
peek
for
the
record,
and
I
serve
as
one
of
the
deputy
administrators
with
the
division
of
public
and
behavioral
health.
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
present
many
of
these
programs
to
you
at
the
main
ifc
committee,
but
I'm
really
happy
to
spend
the
next
10
slides
talking
about
some
of
our
really
focused
interventions.
K
This
truly
is
a
subset.
I
could
spend
50
slides
talking
to
you
about
a
more
comprehensive
list,
but
I
do
want
to
just
highlight
some
of
our
projects
related
to
lab
capacity,
testing
disease
investigation,
vaccination,
public
health
infrastructure
and
I'll
just
say
that
we
are
taking
the
opportunity
with
all
these
funds
to
look
at
how
one
time
investments
could
really
set
us
up
for
future
strength
in
public
health,
so
excited
to
talk
about
those
and
then
several
of
our
behavioral
health
related
projects,
including
community
resilience,
suicide
prevention
and
then
behavioral
health
capacity.
K
I
will
note
that
diversity
and
equity
has
really
been
the
foundation
for
all
these
projects,
but
we
have
received
special
funding
just
dedicated
to
this
and
several
of
the
team
members
on
prior
agenda
items
talked
about.
Some
of
these,
so
there'll
be
a
little
bit
of
duplication,
but
I
will
keep
it
high
level.
K
The
next
slide
specifically
talks
about
laboratory
capacity,
and
that
has
been
a
big
challenge
with
covid,
but
certainly
these
funds
have
helped
us
address
issues
and
also,
as
I
mentioned,
look
at
opportunities
to
use
one
time
or
short
time,
investments
for
growth,
long
term
in
public
health.
One
of
those
things
that
I'd
like
to
note
is
working
really
hard
with
the
nevada
state,
public
health
lab
and
the
churchill
county,
social
services
and
health
services
out
there
to
develop
a
satellite
lab
in
churchill
county
to
service
rural
nevada.
K
We
were
in
crisis
really
at
the
beginning
of
the
response,
because
we
started
getting
more
lab
results
in
a
week
than
we
had
in
an
entire
year
and
it
really
we
struggled
in
addressing
that
with
our
it
infrastructure.
So,
as
debbie
noted,
we
are
trying
to
improve
that
now
also
equipment
purchases,
obviously
to
ensure
that
we
can
address
that
staffing
and
then
contracting
with
private
laboratories,
and
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
this-
that
this
truly
has
been
such
a
huge
effort.
K
The
next
slide
speaks
about
testing
testing
again
has
been
a
really
foundational
part
of
our
covered
response
and
there's
a
variety
of
testing
options
that
we
utilize
in
nevada
point
of
care
testing,
where
rapid
results
are
needed,
testing
and
targeted
locations,
and
that
includes
skilled
nursing
facilities,
corrections,
schools
and
child
care
settings.
We
also
partnered
with
private
vendors
to
increase
our
ability
to
offer
specimen
collection,
especially
when
we
were
seeing
the
turnaround
time
in
labs
really
lengthened.
K
K
Tim
rob
with
the
governor's
office
talked
about
how
we
used
federal
supports
to
provide
vaccination
outreach.
We
also
did
that
with
our
federal
partners
to
provide
sewerage
testing
and
then
also
develop
a
program
for
testing
within
areas
of
high
social
vulnerability
index
and
nevada
is
one
of
the
states.
That's
really
using
that
project,
not
only
in
schools,
which
is
what
it
was
designed
for,
but
also
with
faith-based
organizations
and
community-based
organizations
on
the
next
slide.
K
Just
talked
a
little
bit
about
disease
investigation,
as
was
noted
earlier
in
the
slide
from
the
governor's
finance
office,
we
had
to
increase
our
surge
staffing
in
this
area
exponentially,
and
so
the
funding
really
helped
with
that
also
information
technology
improvements
and
then
really
focused
disease
investigation
efforts
in
areas
of
high
transmission
nevada
is
one
of
the
only
states
that
really
jumped
quickly
on
exposure
notification
tools.
K
K
The
next
slide-
and
I
really
this-
does
not
do
justice
from
the
presentation
you
had
earlier
from
immunized
nevada
and
our
immunization
team,
but
I'll
just
highlight
again
outreach
and
education
mobile
services,
which
has
been
a
great
partnership,
especially
with
private
vendors
and
then
we've
gotten
mobile
units,
both
directly
and
with
our
federal
partners,
so
that
we
could
outreach
areas
of
high
need
and
then
again
information
technology
improvements.
K
I
did
not
include
it
on
that
slide,
but
I
do
just
want
to
acknowledge.
The
vaccine.
Call
center
has
been
a
huge
opportunity.
We
developed
an
opportunity
for
folks
to
have
both
english
and
spanish
to
help
navigate
where
they
could
get
their
vaccination
services.
So
that's
been
a
huge
opportunity
with
the
funding
we
were
given
public
health
infrastructure.
K
K
As
my
colleague
provided
earlier,
there's
been
so
much
money
coming
to
the
division
that
we
really
did
need
to
increase.
Our
administrative
supports,
and
so
we're
excited
that
we're
able
to
do
that
and
get
the
funding
out
to
our
community
partners.
Also
quality
improvement
at
first
specifically
I'll
just
note
around
the
accreditation
we're
working
hard
to
make
sure
our
policies
and
procedures
are
in
place
that
we're
truly
offering
the
best
public
health
services
to
our
residents
possible.
K
Next
is
staffing
and
pipeline
supports
and
we're
working
really
hard
with
our
universities
and
our
community
partners
to
look
at
pipelines
so
finding
folks
who
are
interested
in
public
health
and
then
working
them
through
the
pipeline
of
public
health
services,
ultimately
to
become
public
health
professionals
in
our
state
and
also
another
one.
I'm
really
excited
about
is
local
public
health
infrastructure
projects.
K
The
next
projects
are
related
to
our
behavioral
health
services.
As
you
know,
covid
has
been
an
infectious
disease
crisis,
but
also
a
behavioral
health
crisis,
and
so
the
projects
here
we're
really
excited
about
the
nevada
resilience
project
focused
on
statewide
strength,
building
crisis,
counseling
service
and
resilience,
building
resources
and
they've
helped
more
than
230
000
nevadas.
With
the
39
resilience
ambassadors
noted
there.
They
did
offer
these
in
multilingual
services.
K
K
We
worked
really
closely
with
nevada211,
not
only
to
help
folks
with
behavioral
health
service
navigation,
but
also
as
a
general
covid
support
line,
and
also
to
complement
our
vaccine
call
center.
We
also
trained
staff
on
several
different
mental
health
skills,
which
included
suicide
prevention
and
psychological.
First
aid
related
to
suicide
prevention
in
2021.
New
prevention
campaigns
were
launched
to
address
the
uptick
in
suicide
attempts
and
best
in
nevada
following
covet
19.,
in
addition
to
more
training
for
staff
and
community
tv,
radio
and
social
media
ads
were
also
shared
to
address
stigma
and
provide
resources.
K
K
K
K
with
our
mobile
crisis
response
team
113
youth
were
stabilized
with
a
safety
plan
in
clark
county
for
a
single
month.
36
were
hospitalized
for
their
safety.
We
also
rolled
out
several
statewide
operations
to
increase
access
to
behavioral
health
services
and
the
crisis
call
center,
including
through
the
same
campaigns
as
noted
earlier,
including
the
one
with
the
las
vegas
raiders
related
to
our
dpbh
clinical
services.
This
does
mostly
cover
northern
nevada,
adult
mental
health
services,
southern
nevada,
adult
mental
health
services
and
outpatient.
K
We
were
able
to
increase
or
keep
our
mobile
outreach
safety
teams.
As
you
all
know,
this
is
a
really
important
project
that
partners,
law
enforcement
and
pub
and
behavioral
health
professionals
to
address
needs
in
our
communities.
When
somebody's
having
a
mental
health
crisis,
this
coveted,
crf
funding,
really
filled
the
gap.
These
services
would
have
had
to
be
cut.
Should
this
funding
have
not
been
available
and
you've
all
heard
a
ton
about
how
important
this
program
is.
K
It
also
provided
us
an
opportunity
internally
at
dpdh,
in
our
clinical
services
to
review
infection
control
practices,
and
this
really
spread
beyond
dpbh
to
our
private
providers
as
well.
We
added
staff
at
the
entrance
for
screening
to
keep
infection
rates
low
and
we're
really
proud
that
we've
done
our
best
to
keep
staff
patients
and
the
public
healthy
and,
as
I
said,
diversity.
Inequity
has
really
been
such
a
foundation
to
the
covert
response
since
the
beginning.
K
But
there
are
very
specific
projects
we're
working
on
as
well
with
this,
as
our
focus
just
want
to
acknowledge
our
office
of
minority
health
and
equity
and
our
minority
health
and
equity
coalition.
Apologize
for
my
typo
we're
looking
at
also
increased
data
collection,
and
there
were
a
few
bills
during
session
where
we
addressed
collecting
soji
data,
also
ensuring
that
we
had
data
related
to
language
of
preference,
and
so
the
grant
for
diversity
and
equity
is
also
addressing
building
that
capacity
within
our
public
health
systems.
K
Very
excited
about
increasing
community
health
workers
across
nevada.
These
are
pivotal
outreach
workers
who
are
from
the
community
to
serve
the
community.
This
is
also
a
complement
to
pipeline
efforts,
because
many
community
health
workers
may
then
find
a
passion
for
public
health,
and
then
we
can
work
them
through
a
process
of
increasing
their
education
and
again,
hopefully
getting
incredible
public
health
careers
for
their
future.
K
I
do
just
want
to
know
there
will
be
future
needs
that
we
come
forward.
I
think
one
of
at
least
dpvh's
focus
is
to
look
at
therapeutics,
and
I
know
dave
least
with
the
board
of
pharmacy
was
on
to
join
me
and
answer
questions
about
that
that
that's
an
area
that
we
will
potentially
be
coming
forward
to
ask
for
funds
in
the
future
as
it's
not
allowable
under
our
current
grants.
K
A
Thank
you
so
much
any
questions
from
the
committee.
A
C
All
these
topics
are
incredibly
important,
so,
but
I
just
I
was
curious
a
little
bit
more
about
the
resiliency
ambassadors.
If
you
could
tell
us
a
little
bit
more
about
what
they
do
in
the
community
and
how
they're
distributed
across
the
state
just
find
that
program
particularly
interesting
thanks.
K
L
Samsa
they.
C
With
within
community
partners,
and
so
we
had
community
partners,
washoe
county
in
the
rural
counties
in
las
vegas,
and
they
were
just
distributed
that
way,
we
also
worked
with
a
population
exposure
model
to
determine
what
areas
might
need
a
little
bit
more
assistance
or
resource,
and
so
I
can
get
you
that
information
if
you're
interested
in
that.
C
Thank
you
follow
up.
Madam
chair,
please
go
ahead.
I
think
maybe
it's
just
a
a
little
bit
more
basic.
What
what
is
an
ambassador?
What
it?
What
do
they
do?
You
know
if
I
were
to
meet
one.
What
are
they
doing
on
a
daily
basis
and
if
we
want
to
connect
people
to
that
as
a
resource?
How
would
we
do
that
sure
don
joey
for
the
record,
so
a
resilience
ambassador,
they're.
C
Them
as
resilience
ambassadors
and
originally
they
were
developed
to
assist
with
kovid,
and
so
the
health
departments
were
getting
us
lists
of
individuals
who
would
test
positive
for
covid.
Our
ambassadors
would
reach
out
to
every
single
one
of
those
nevadans
and
make
sure
that
they
were
okay
and
get
them
any
resources
that
they
might
need.
As
far
as.
L
Behavioral,
health,
physical
health,
any
sort.
C
I
I
hope
that
answers
your
question,
but
let
me
know
thank
you
appreciate.
C
C
One
thank
you,
my
computer
really
glitched
in
and
out
towards
the
end
of
the
presentation.
What
was
the
discussion
around
therapeutics?
I'm
sorry,
I
totally
missed
it.
K
Yeah
julie
peak
for
the
record,
I
can
start
and
then,
if
you
have
specific
questions
on
therapeutics
I'll
turn
it
over
to
dave
wiest
with
the
pharmacy
board.
But
but
therapeutics
is
not
something
covered
by
our
grants.
Right
now,
specifically,
the
epidemiology
and
laboratory
capacity
grant
has
been
a
major
infrastructure
grant
for
dpbh's
response,
and
it
just
doesn't
cover
support
for
therapeutics.
K
So
some
things
that
we've
seen
actually
actually
some
of
the
counties
and
other
states
do
is
stand
up,
for
example,
freestanding
treatment
centers
for
folks
if
they
need
to
get
therapeutics
related
to
like
monoclonal
antibody
treatment,
an
example
of
how
this
was
done
locally
in
elko
county
they're,
using
emts
at
great
basin
college,
so
folks
can
go
in
there
if
they
test
positive
and
get
that
treatment
and
then
go
home.
This
type
of
treatment
is
shown
to
reduce
hospital
stays
and
mortality
by
70,
so
really
really
important,
both
for
the
vaccinated
and
unvaccinated.
K
If
you're
going
to
have
a
severe
outcome,
we
want
to
make
sure
you
get
to
therapeutics
as
fast
as
possible
and
it's
a
challenge
now
in
nevada,
and
so
we
do
think
standing
up.
Those
free
pre-setting
standing
clinics
is,
is
a
really
important
part
of
the
response
going
forward
and
so
we're
looking
at
various
options
to
do
that
with
the
funding
streams
that
are
available.
K
Also
just
note
because
it
is
in
the
news-
there
are
oral
medications
that
are
potentially
going
to
be
hitting
the
market
in
the
coming
months,
and
that
will
be
part
of
the
response
as
well,
and
so
we
just
need
to
figure
out
how
to
best
get
that
resource
equitably
to
everybody
in
the
state
and
so
we're
looking
at
what
that
project
might
look
like
and
what
funds
would
be
devoted
to
that.
C
A
A
Our
last
presentation
of
the
day
will
be
on
the
development
of
an
expenditure
roadmap
for
the
funding
of
the
state
that
we
have
received
under
the
american
rescue
plan
act,
and
we
have
bayley
bertolin
with
us
today.
The
deputy
chief
of
staff
for
the
governor,
as
well
as
shawna
tilly
from
the
governor's
finance
office
and
heather
hilliard
from
innovation,
emergency
management
and
please
go
ahead
when
you're
ready,
miss
bortland.
L
Thank
you,
chair
bailey
borbolyn
for
the
record
wh
doctor
governor
siselek.
As
you
mentioned,
I
have
shawna
tilly
with
gfo
here
and
heather
hilliard
with
iem,
and
so
we're
just
going
to
take
you
forward
thinking
now.
As
you've
heard
extensively,
we
are
wrapping
up
the
crf
and
cares
portions
of
our
federal
funding,
which
means
that
over
at
the
governor's
office,
we
are
diligently
working
through
our
plan
with
the
next
phase
as
we
head
into
2022,
which
is
how
we
will
expend
further
arp
dollars.
H
H
Nevada's
share
of
these
funds
is
estimated
at
6.7
billion,
which
is
not
including
an
estimated
4
billion
in
economic
impact
payments
and
child
tax
credit
extend
expansion.
That's
going
directly
to
taxpayers
residents.
Arpa
funds
are
coming
in
through
more
than
79
different
funding
streams,
a
few
of
which
you
see
listed
on
this
slide
next
slide.
H
L
And
for
a
little
context,
bailey
portland
for
the
record-
I
just
wanted
to
add
so
the
three
agencies
that
you've
just
heard
from
those
are
just
pieces
of
where
some
of
these
dollars
have
gone
directly
to
agencies
and
the
work
has
already
been
thoroughly
in
action.
So
we've
seen
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
in
child
care,
we've
seen
the
rental
assistance
dollars,
so
those
were
just
three
that
we've
highlighted
this
time,
but
many
of
our
state
agencies,
through
all
of
these
spending
sources,
are
actively
using
these
dollars
to
help
the
community.
H
This
represents
a
wide
variety
of
programs,
and
these
programs
vary
in
their
performance
periods
as
well
as
in
their
allowable
uses.
Several
programs
have
the
same
allowances
so
evaluating
which
funds
are
to
be
used
first,
and
what
initiatives
have
already
been
funded
is
paramount
to
make
the
best
use
of
the
available
funding
next
slide.
L
And
bailey
portal
in
for
the
record,
we
wanted
to
highlight
this
because,
while
you've
seen
the
large
pie
charts
that
there
are
many
billions
of
dollars
coming
to
the
state
of
nevada,
the
real
flexible
bucket
that
we've
all
been
working
with
through
the
legislative
session
and
since
then
through
ifc,
the
state
general
aid
bucket,
it
did
start
with
over
three
billion
dollars,
but
as
we
continue
to
spend
the
dollars
that
we
have,
that
is
us
hopefully
soon
down
to
1.88.
L
We
did
go
ahead
and
factor
in
if
next
week's
ifc
items
are
approved
as
scheduled.
So
that
is
the
amount
of
dollars
that
we
are
working
through
for
that
flexible
state
generally
bucket.
Of
course,
there
are
many
other
buckets
and
we
continue
to
receive
new
revenue
streams,
but
I
think
that's
the
most
talked
about
bucket
for
a
lot
of
the
things
that
are
coming
up
in
the
community.
So
we
wanted
to
keep
you
specifically
apprised
on
that.
H
H
I
think
it's
important
to
note
that
recipients
must
demonstrate
that
uses
of
the
funding
directly
address
a
negative
economic
impact
of
the
public
health
emergency
and
that
compliance,
reporting
and
record-keeping
requirements
are
really
robust
for
this
funding
source,
regardless
of
the
source
or
program
that
they're
aligned
with
that's
a
little
bit
different
than
we
were
accustomed
to
with
the
cares
act,
money
and
that
virus
relief
funds
or
crf.
So
I
wanted
to
highlight
that,
and
with
that
I
hand
it
back
to,
I
think,
to
bailey
or
to
heather.
H
Thank
you,
sean.
I
had
to
hillyard
for
the
record,
so
one
of
the
things
that
we
are
stressing,
not
only
as
we're
looking
at
eligible
projects
that
come
through
and
we
did
the
phase
one
of
the
listening
tour
that
bailey
will
talk
about
shortly,
but
there
are
different
eligibility
requirements
in
the
arpa,
so
it
is
supposed
to
look
at
the
disproportionately
impacted
most
vulnerable
populations
from
the
public
health
emergency.
H
There
are
caveats
of
different
things
that
may
or
may
not
be
allowable,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we're
highlighting
is
that
we
are
still
in
the
interim
final
rule.
While
we
have
the
quarterly
report
guidance
issued
by
the
department
of
treasury-
and
we
know
specifically
the
different
categories
in
which
things
will
have
to
be
reported,
some
of
the
things
that
are
highlighted
you
see
in
the
black
text
text
are
stronger,
neighborhoods,
educational
disparities
that
have
been
exacerbated
by
kova
19
and
that
word
exacerbated
is
from
the
treasury,
healthy
childhood
environments,
assistance
to
small
businesses.
H
What
we
are
doing
right
now
with
these
work
groups,
that
we
started
forming
that
are
discussing
things
that
were
put
through
the
portal
for
the
public
comment,
and
that
was
just
under
1500
different
topics,
50
or
which
were
opinions
and
not
really
proposals,
and
that's
in
addition
to
the
approximately
100
from
the
legislative
group
or
the
state
agencies
which
were
also
submitted
separately,
is
that
we
are
taking
a
look
at
these
in
order
to
to
make
sure.
Are
they
going
to
be
eligible?
Are
they
duplicative?
H
We
have
an
socioeconomic
tool
that
we're
looking
that
if
you
have
10
projects
of
the
same
focus,
are
you
going
to
be
able
to
consider
them
all?
Are
they
duplicative?
H
Are
they
reaching
the
same
population
and
that
sort
of
thing,
so
we
have
different
measures
that
will
be
looking
at
all
the
eligible
components
that
have
come
in
and
that's
already
being
started
in
the
process,
and
the
other
thing
that
we're
looking
at
on
the
next
slide
is
that
you
have
already
been
designated
your
4.04
billion
for
infrastructure,
so
things
that
are
eligible
that
shawna
mentioned,
such
as
water
and
sewerage.
H
Broadband
also
have
funding
designated
in
the
infrastructure
act.
We
do
not
have
an
in
their
interim
final
guidance
at
this
point
from
treasury.
We
are
still
waiting
on
that,
but
projects
that
come
in
that
duplicate
things
that
are
generally
outlined
infrastructure
act.
Funding
is
much
more
inflexible,
much
more
specific.
So
if
there's
something
that
can
go
to
this
we're
taking
those
projects
and
putting
them
towards
this
and
leaving
the
flexible
funding
to
use
for
projects
such
as
bailey's
about
to
describe
that
were
heard
in
the
listening
tour.
L
Thank
you,
bailey
bortland,
for
the
record,
so
you're
all
familiar
with
the
listening
tour
that
we
did
go
on
as
state
for
the
last
several
months,
and
so
we
wanted
to
provide
you
some
of
the
conclusive
data
that
we've
learned
from
that.
So
where
we
are
at
is
that
we
did
receive
over
4
000
responses
in
the
portal
that
you
all
helped
guide
people
to
every
nevada
recovers
website
and
of
those
4
000
plus
responses
about
2.
L
500
of
them
are
ideas,
submissions
of
things
that
we
could
really
look
at
and
start
to
consider
a
conversation
around.
Can
we
spend
them
in
this
way?
Should
we
spend
them
in
this
way
and
how
does
that
fit
into
a
greater
plan?
How
does
that
help
nevadans?
How
does
that
meet
the
treasury
guidelines?
How
does
that
interplay
with
state
statute
and
rules
and
timing
there?
L
So
we
are
actively
in
that
process,
but
we
did
have
incredible
engagement,
incredible
turnout,
we
heard
from
every
corner
of
the
state,
and
we
appreciate
all
the
support
that
you
all
provided
there
as
well
in
helping
get
your
constituents
there,
helping
them
be
a
part
of
the
process.
So
that
we
could
gather
their
feedback
as
well
from
that
we
have
heard
five
main
themes
that
will
be
the
governor's
priority
as
we
work
through
how
to
spend
these
dollars.
L
I
don't
think
anyone
would
be
surprised
by
the
five
things
that
we
heard
from
people.
They
are
the
things
that
you
hear
from
your
constituents
on
a
daily
basis.
One
is
that
we
have
to
invest
in
housing
security
that
is
across
a
continuum
from
transitional
housing
to
rapid
rehousing,
all
the
way
to
long-term
permanent
supportive
housing,
affordable
housing.
L
L
Quality
child
care,
so,
while
over
500
million
dollars
has
come
through,
cares
and
crf
for
our
existing
child
care
providers
to
keep
them
afloat
and
as
you
heard
that
has
successfully
been
done,
we've
been
able
to
maintain
the
providers
that
we
had
in
this
state
prior
to
covid,
which
was
no
easy
feat
to
bridge
those
gaps
and
to
make
sure
that
they
were
able
to
stay
afloat.
We
need
more
child
care
providers
and
we
need
to
do
more
to
subsidize
the
cost
of
child
care.
L
We
need
to
ensure
that
there
are
good
jobs
for
all
nevadans
and
they
will
continue
to
be
here
into
the
future
and,
as
we
look
at
job
creation
and
retention,
as
we
talk
about
the
economy
and
the
workforce,
I
will
note
that
two
of
the
things
that
come
up
most
often
are
housing
and
child
care.
We
can
fix
housing
and
child
care.
We
can
also
improve
the
economy
and
the
workforce
for
our
families,
coving,
19
and
health
care.
L
We
need
to
invest
in
state
services,
we
need
to
invest
in
health
and
human
services
and
what
we
have
as
a
public
health,
behavioral
health,
mental
health
infrastructure
and
continue
to
invest
in
the
programs
that
will
help
us
recover
from
this
pandemic,
as
you've
heard
extensively
today.
How
much
work
and
effort
has
been
going
into
that
the
last
one,
of
course,
is
strengthening
education,
so
those
dollars
are
slightly
different
in
that,
as
mentioned,
they
have
the
gears
and
the
ssr
dollars
and
the
dollars
that
have
come
specifically
for
our
education
programs.
L
At
the
same
time
as
before,
61,
as
you
all
are
well
aware,
did
add
an
additional
200
million
earmarked
for
education.
So
I
know
superintendent
ebert
is
working
hard
on
those
plans
and
actionizing
those
dollars
there
as
well.
So
these
will
be
the
five
themes
that
we
heard
the
most
that
you
will
continue
to
hear
about
the
most
and
the
lens
that
we
are
looking
at.
How
can
we
move
the
needle
in
these
important
areas
of
these
dollars?
L
The
next
slide.
I
wanted
to
walk
you
all
through
and
show
you
that
there
is
a
robust
undertaking
of
those
ideas
that
have
been
submitted
to
the
portal.
They
were
submitted
by
our
state
agencies,
the
executive
branch,
the
public,
the
legislature
and
the
judicial
branch,
and
so
every
idea
that
was
put
in
while
we
are
doing
big
systems
planning
and
we
are
trying
to
create
a
robust,
comprehensive
housing
plan
and
comprehensive
child
care
plan.
L
H
Sure
so
this
is
basically
a
grant
logic
model
and
what
we've
done
for
the
state
is
show
you
how
we're
doing
this
process-
and
I
briefly
mentioned
the
socioeconomic
tool
as
one
measure
that
we're
helping
so
that
we
are
using
public
information
from
the
cdc.
You
know
the
svi,
the
social
vulnerability
index,
we're
using
community
resiliency,
we're
using
census,
tract
specific
information,
we're
looking
at
localities
and
looking
at
percentages
of
population.
H
We
spoke
with
one
county
who
was
very
concerned
because
they
have
a
high
senior
population
and
they
were
worried
that
they
might
get
left
out
of
some
of
the
consideration.
So
this
tool
that
we're
using
is
not
a
decision
making
tool.
It
is
a
just
a
data
set
information
tool
that
will
able
to
say:
okay,
we're
taking
this
high
level.
H
Ask
that
came
from
the
portal,
the
things
that
came
in
the
listening
tour,
the
things
that
we're
hearing
in
our
our
strategic
work
groups
on
those
five
priorities,
and
I'm
also
talking
to
and
looking
going
back
to
all
these
local
communities
working
with
the
counties
working
with
the
locals,
who
receive
direct
funding
and
the
non-entitlement
units
that
got
passed
through
funding,
and
I'm
going
back
and
saying.
H
Okay,
now
that
we've
done
the
listening
tour,
let
me
really
get
into
some
of
the
nitty
gritty
of
what
you're
considering
to
see,
if
there's
similarities
for
local,
regional
and
state
that
we
can
do
basically
a
force
multiplier
kind
of
project
so
that
the
ideas
from
the
local
are
able
to
be
supported
by
the
state
or
if
it's
something
several
localities
are
doing.
H
Should
it
be
something
that's
considered
more
regionally
or
statewide
moving
to
the
fit
check
we
are
doing
with
the
gfo
there's
an
alternative
fund
use,
so
you've
heard
today
a
lot
of
the
different
funding
sources.
One
I
forgot
to
mention
was
the
buildback
better.
That
is
also
in
process
now
at
the
senate
side,
which
will
bring
more
health
care
and
child
care
dollars.
H
One
of
the
things
that
we're
looking
at
is
sunset
aspects.
So
we're
not
looking
at
programs
that
create
more
staffing,
more
buildings,
something
that's
just
going
to
build
into
your
budget
in
the
end
of
2026
that
you'll
have
to
find
other
funding
sources.
So
we're
looking
for
programmatic
support
or
ways
that
we
can
be
catalysts
in
the
community
that
have
come
through
the
portal
or
through
the
other
ideas
that
that
bailey
mentioned
moving
into
determination.
H
A
fiscal
reasonableness
test
it's
great
to
ask
for
20
million
dollars
for
a
project.
But
if
there's
no
support
behind
it,
it's
not
fiscally
responsible
for
the
state
to
make
that
decision
and
if
there's
any
duplication
of
services,
not
that
you
can't
do
10
of
the
same
program,
but
you
don't
want
to
saturate
one
area
and
leave
another
area
dry.
The
gold
star
looks
at
okay.
We
come
out
with
with
the
evaluation
components
all
these
was
gfo
and
the
evaluation
tool
and
it
moves
forward
for
approval.
H
Metrics
are
set
revenue,
expenditures
are
documented.
We
make
sure
it
fits
into
one
of
the
five
dozen.
I
believe,
different
areas
that
we
could
use
the
funds
in,
so
that
we're
setting
up
success
for
the
treasury
reporting
before
the
program
starts.
This
is
a
very
different
funding
mechanism.
As
shauna
said,
there
are
very
different
requirements
and
reporting
things
that
we
have
to
have
done,
and
then
we
want
to
look
at
the
outcomes,
the
impacts
that
are
happening
too.
H
So
this
is
already
happening
with
submissions
that
came
through
we're
already
starting
this
with
work
groups
and
starting
additional
conversations.
If
something
hasn't
been
put
in
the
portal
or
something
was
put
in
the
portal
20
times,
was
it
by
different
people
or
is
it
you
know
the
same
person
that
just
didn't
know
their
decision
or
their
submission
was
getting
through?
So
that's
really
how
this
works,
to
give
you
more
information
for
decision
making.
L
We,
there
is
no
easy
way
to
map
this,
so
we
are
doing
a
one-at-a-time,
case-by-case
evaluation
of
every
idea
that
we've
received,
at
the
same
time
we're
looking
at
how
to
move
the
needle
on
some
large
big
issues
that
we
know
are
important
to
nevadans
and
that
we
heard
were
important
to
nevadans
and
then,
at
the
same
time,
it's
trying
to
make
sure
that
every
decision
is
intentional
and
works
well
together
that
we
are
lining
this
up
to
make
sense
that
an
investment
on
the
left
hand
helps
a
decision
made
on
the
right,
and
so
that
includes
understanding
how
these
infrastructure
dollars
are
coming
through.
L
That
includes
communication
with
everyone
else,
that's
received
dollars,
so
we're
also
undertaking
the
task
of
reaching
out
to
every
city
and
county
and
school
district,
an
entity
that
also
received
federal
dollars.
That
is
not
the
state
so
that
we
can
talk
about
how
we
are
mapping.
We
can
talk
about
how
we
are
layering.
We
can
talk
about
where
we
have
overlap
and
duplication
of
efforts
and
be
really
intention
and
intentional
in
creating
those
partnerships
to
make
sure
that
these
dollars
are
used
in
the
best
way
possible
to
make
a
real
investment
in
nevada.
A
Thank
you
very
much
for
that
information
and
siloing
out
each
thing
for
us,
so
we
could
see
that
any
questions
from
the
committee.
A
Assemblywoman
tolls
go
ahead.
Please.
C
Thank
you
and
forgive
me
if
you
covered
this
and
I
missed
it,
we
had
a
package
delivery
and
a
very
loud
dog
through
some
of
that.
So,
but
I
was
just
curious:
did
you
mention
how
many
ideas
were
submitted
through
all
the
various
portals
in
total
and
is
there
a
way
for
us
and
the
public
to
be
able
to
view
those
submissions,
or
will
there
be
a
final
report
that
will
you
know
map
all
those
out
everything
that
was
submitted
and
whether
or
not
it
was
accepted
rejected?
L
Billy
bourdelin
for
the
record.
Yes,
we
did
so
for
the
every
nevada
recovers
website,
which
is
where
legislators
directed
people
and
where
the
state
directed
people
we
received
over
4
100
responses
and
of
those
about
2
500
were
true
idea.
Submissions,
as
opposed
to
a
lot
of
them
said
housing
is
important.
I
need
child
care
right,
but
a
lot
of
them
were
very
specific
in
ways
that
they
suggested
we
could
use
the
dollars.
So
there's
a
differentiation
there.
We
do
not
have
data.
I
know.
Clark.
L
County
commission,
for
example,
has
an
application
process
for
their
dollars,
so
the
numbers
that
I
am
giving
you
just
reflect
the
state's
process
and
the
state's
responses
some
of
our
partners
did
join
us
on
the
listening
to
the
permits,
participated,
also
directed
people
to
the
portal,
so
there's
a
good
share
of
local
government
ideas
and
local
government
engagement
in
our
portal.
But
it's
not
representative
if
any
local
government
or
dollar
receivable
receiver
created
their
own
intake
system.
If
that
makes
sense,
what
was
the
second
part
of
your
question?
I
apologize.
C
Thank
you
that
is
helpful,
and
I
appreciate
the
breakdown
between
general
ideas
versus
very
specific
ones,
but
my
second
part
of
the
question
was:
is
there
going
to
be
any
kind
of
reporter
and
ability
to
view
those
submissions
and
then,
at
the
end,
just
you
know
the
the
analysis
of
that
decision-making
matrix
what
was
accepted?
What
was
rejected?
What
was
the
original
request
versus
what
was
actually
allocated.
L
Thank
you,
bailey
bortland,
for
the
record,
so
we
have
maintained
the
every
nevada
recovers
website
and
that
will
grow
with
us
and
reflect
data
as
the
process
goes
forward.
So
that
will
continue
to
be
a
good
source
of
information
to
see
where
we're
at
in
the
process
and
see
how
decisions
are
being
made
if
new
programs
or
applications
are
being
brought
in,
I
will
make
a
distinction
between
ideas
that
were
submitted
and,
in
many
cases
we're
learning
a
lot
of
people
have
ideas
and
concepts
around
child
care.
We
need
to
fix
child
care.
L
As
an
example,
that's
a
bit
distinct
from
an
application
process,
so
child
care
agencies
are
able
to
apply
for
arp
dollars
through
processes,
as
director
chapel
was
discussing
earlier.
So
there
will
be
application
processes
as
we
identify
the
right
ways
to
spend
these
dollars
to
ensure
that
we're
doing
our
homework
to
be
prepared
for
a
federal
audit.
As
has
been
mentioned
several
times,
these
are
grant
dollars.
C
Madam
chair,
can
I
just
ask
one
final
clarify:
please
go
ahead.
Thank
you.
So
thank
you
for
that.
I
appreciate
it
and
definitely
would
like
to
continue
to
see
those
reports
and
I
did
attend.
You
know
some
of
the
listening
tour
events
and
appreciate
all
the
work
that
was
put
into
that.
C
My
question
is,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
heard
you
correctly
because
you
gave
an
example
of
like
a
child
care
provider.
C
L
Billy
bortlen
for
the
record.
I
appreciate
that
question.
The
answer
is,
it
depends,
but
I
think
it's
important
to
note
that
the
ideas
submission,
if
you
all,
are
familiar
with
it.
You
use
the
portal
as
well.
The
information
received
in
that
is
not
comprehensive
enough
for
the
state
to
grant
at
this
point
right.
L
We
wanted
to
take
in
all
of
the
ideas
we
wanted
to
hear
what
people
wanted,
what
people
were
thinking
and
we
are
actively
diligently
analyzing
that
and
going
through
that
and
working
through
that,
but
every
single
idea
is
going
to
fit
into
the
treasury
guidelines
differently,
and
so
more
information
will
be
required.
L
So
I
do
think
it's
an
important
distinction
that
ideas
that
went
in
the
next
step-
isn't
necessarily
the
state
saying
yes
or
no.
The
next
step
is
gathering
more
information
to
make
sure
that
we
are
doing
this
in
the
right
way.
If
that
makes
sense,
so
I
think
to
non-profits
that
will
make
a
lot
of
sense.
L
They
understand
how
comprehensive
grant
reporting
is
and
the
work
that
goes
into
getting
this
to
a
place
where
we
are
in
the
clear
to
be
responsibly
using
these
dollars,
and
so
I
do
think
it's
important
that
we
are
looking
at
every
single
word
that
will
be
reaching
back
out,
we'll
be
continuing
conversations,
but
it
is
not
the
same
thing
as
we're
not
ready
to
just
hit
a
green
light.
If
that
makes
sense,.
A
G
I
did
I
have
a
few
if
that's
okay,
chair,
I
I
my
first
question
is:
is
for
miss
hillard
hilliard
and
what
is
the
duration
of
your
current
contract?
So
how
long
do
you
anticipate
to
be
working
on
these
processes
or
contr?
How
long
you're
contractually
obligated
to
work
on
these
processes.
H
I
would
confirm
was
director
brown,
but
I
believe
it
is
through
the
end
of
june
of
next
year
as
the
first
part
of
this
contract
that
was
executed
for
eight
months.
G
Oh
perfect,
perfect,
thank
you
and,
and
you
mentioned,
build
back
better
components
of
the
buildback
better
agenda.
You
mentioned
the
infrastructure
funding
it'll,
be
the
reconciliation
bill,
final
language,
that
all
kind
of
meshes
together
with
arp
monies
and
and-
and
so
I
think
that
you
know
having
having
technical
assistance
from
your
firm
through
at
the
very
least
june,
is
very
helpful
for
us,
but
it
does
something
very
important
too.
G
It
corresponds
with
when
the
executive
branch
starts
building
their
their
governor's
requested
budget,
and
you
know
a
little
over
a
year
from
now
we'll
have
a
final
budget
submission
from
the
governor's
office
on
the
governor's
requested
budget,
and
I
think
that
this
process,
you
know
is,
is
very
well
suited
for
creating
ideas
and
creating
specific
requests
in
the
gov
wreck
budget,
as
opposed
to
you
know
a
lot
of
one-off
ifc
items
and
so
for
the
timing
seems
to
work
really
well
with
that
there'll
be
some
immediate
needs,
I'm
sure
that
we
have
to
address,
but
I
think
that
the
majority
of
these
very
complicated
plans
that
affect
a
lot
of
our
state
agencies
will
will
show
up
in
that
governor's
requested
budget,
and
this
process
that
you,
you
laid
out
seems
to
really
align
well
with
that.
H
For
the
record-
yes,
sir,
I
believe
that's
true
so
that
you
can
know
that
they're
not
having
any
duplication.
You
don't
have
overlapping
or
competing
funding
sources
too.
That's
our
intention
is
to
help
you
help
every
nevadan
in
the
most
efficient
way
urgently,
if
needed
and
for
you
know
longer
duration,
too.
That's
in
a
sustainable
manner.
C
C
Did
you
mention
that
not
all
of
them
were
actually
fit
for
the
guidelines
that
we
received
for
what
arp
funding
could
be
used
for,
but
may
be
able
to
fit
into
a
different
bucket
at
a
later
time,
as
the
senator
saying,
with
the
infrastructure
bill
the
reconciliation
bill?
So
it's
not
like
they
would
be
just
refused
for
funding,
but
it
may
fit
into
a
a
different
bucket
of
money.
I
guess
it's
a
good
way
of
saying
it
in
the
future,
but
not
qualify
for
the
guidelines
that
we
currently
have
for
arp
funding.
L
Billy
bortland
for
the
record
sure
yeah.
This
is
a
great
list
of
ideas
that
we
have
and
I
think
it
can
be
used
across
a
variety
of
ways.
Some
of
them
might
be
really
great
bdr
ideas
and
we
intend
to
be
collaborative
and
to
work
with
you
on
ways
that
that
may
be
done.
I
think
it's
important
to
look
at
a
very
unique
lens
for
every
single
idea
of.
L
What's
the
right
way
to
do
the
one
thing
that's
being
proposed
here
and
that's
why
this
unfortunately
isn't
the
fastest
process
in
the
world,
because
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
it
right
and
in
the
best
way,
there's
so
many
different
funding
streams
and
there's
a
lot
of
focus
on
the
state
general
aid
bucket,
which
does
have
very
specific
treasury
guidelines,
but
where
we
can
use
the
dollars
through
different
funding
streams.
There
are
over
70
funding
streams
and
those
continue
to
grow.
L
Those
streams
come
in
every
week
and
we
check
on
what
they
are,
what
they
look
like,
how
they
can
be
used,
what
the
rules
around
them
are,
and
so
we
do
anticipate
that
the
infrastructure
dollars
are
going
to
change
the
landscape
and
if
buildback
better
passes
it's
going
to
change
the
landscape,
and
it
can't
be
overstated
that
we
don't
have
the
final
treasury
role,
so
that
could
also
change
the
landscape.
But
some
things
are
really
appropriate
for
the
budget,
and
some
things
should
be
done
sooner
rather
than
later.
L
So,
that's
something
that
we
just
have
to
do
an
individual
analysis,
analysis
on
and
there's
not
a
great
answer.
I
think
something
that
ifc
has
been
tracking
and
understands
the
gravity
of
is
where
we're
at
with
children's
mental
health
services
in
our
state
right
now,
and
I
think
it
highlights
the
complexity
really
well,
because
right
now
there
are
some
short-term
things
that
we
can
do
that
we
will
be
moving
dollars
to
ifc
to
do
at
the
same
time.
L
Some
of
it
is
rates
issues
and
those
are
things
that
need
to
be
evaluated
in
a
governor's
budget
because
they
can't
be
changed
and
without
regular
session
legislative
action.
So
it's
a
very
complicated
roadmap,
but
it's
not
an
easy
here's,
the
ideas
that
are
we're
moving
forward
with
and
here's
the
ones
we
aren't-
and
I
imagine
that
they
will
inform
our
decisions
for
years
to
come.
A
Thank
you
very
much
additional
questions
from
the
committee.
I'm
looking
around
trying
to
see.
If
I
see
anybody,
I
believe
that
might
be
it
miss
bortland.
I
think
we
have
got
all
our
questions
answered.
I
so
appreciate
you
and
your
team
and
the
information
you
have
presented
us.
So
thank
you
very
much
and
I'm
sure.
If
anybody
has
a
question,
they
will
follow
up.
L
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
so
with
that
we'll
go
to
our
final
agenda
item
today,
and
that
is
the
second
and
last
period
of
public
comment
and
because
of
time
considerations
we
would
appreciate
if
all
public
comment
remains
at
two
minutes,
to
join
the

E
The
nature
conservancy
appreciates
the
opportunity
to
provide
input
on
how
nevada
can
spend
american
rescue
act
funds
using
the
guidance
provided
by
the
erie
nevada
recovers
framework.
The
conservancy
has
compiled
recommendations
for
addressing
budget
shortfalls,
enhancing
state
services,
investing
in
infrastructure
and
supporting
nevada's
workforce.
The
conservancy
supports
prioritizing
funds
to
address
budget
shortfalls
in
the
division
of
water
resources.
The
prolonged
drought
in
nevada
has
created
an
urgency
to
ensuring
water
security
for
both
people
and
the
environment.
E
It
is
imperative
that
the
dwr,
which
protects,
manages
and
enhances
the
state's
water
resources
for
nevada
citizens
be
fully
staffed
and
resourced.
To
meet
this
challenge,
we
recommend
that
1.3
million
of
arpa
funding
be
allocated
to
reimburse
water
basin
funds
that
were
transferred
to
general
funds
to
support
staffing
shortfalls
during
the
cobed
pandemic.
E
The
conservancy
has
identified
areas
where
enhanced
state
services
are
needed
to
both
address
challenges
that
emerged
in
the
pandemic
and
provide
a
solemn
foundation
for
recovery
that
will
position
nevada
for
resiliency.
In
the
face
of
client
change
in
particular,
there
is
a
need
to
digitize
water
data,
update
water
basin
budgets
and
invest
in
state
climate
governance
regarding
infrastructure
investment.
We
recommend
investments
and
smart
from
the
start:
renewable
energy
planning,
habitat
restoration
for
native
freshwater
species
and
the
construction
of
wildlife
crossings
statewide
to
protect
human
and
animal
safety
to
support
nevada's
workforce.
E
We
commend
governor
sisselbach,
treasurer
conan
and
the
state
of
nevada
on
a
job
well
done
with
the
listening
touring
framework
to
gather
input
from
all
nevadans.
Thank
you
to
this
subcommittee
for
the
important
oversight
and
guidance
you
are
providing
to
put
these
dollars
to
work.
We
will
follow
up
with
a
written
comment
to
the
subcommittee
that
details
our
specific
funding
recommendations
in
these
areas.
We
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
share
them
with
you.
Thank
you.
E
E
I
would
just
like
to
state
for
the
record
that
I
have
been
toggling
this
morning
between
the
ped
board
meeting
the
public
employees
benefits
program
and
this
committee
to
try
and
weave
together
what
I
need
to
say
to
you,
which
is
simply
that
in
the
agenda
for
the
pep
board
meeting
this
this
day
december,
2nd,
the
american
rescue
plan
act,
request
is
submitted
and
I
will
be
happy
to
email,
a
link
to
the
committee
members
after
this
meeting
to
these
two
documents:
they're,
not
lengthy
agenda
item
4.2,
that's
their
actual
request
that
was
submitted
to
the
portal.
E
I
would
say
that
afscme
as
an
organization
along
with
the
pebb
agency,
has
also
submitted
a
separate
request,
but
we're
all
asking
for
the
same
thing
is,
and
that
is
that
the
governor's
office
consider
seriously
restoring
the
pebb
program
from
the
special
cuts
that
were
taken
in
the
special
session
of
2020.
E
The
31st
special
session
to
the
pebble
board
to
the
peb
program
to
to
meet
the
crisis
needs
at
that
time
that
summer
of
2020.,
we
are
concerned
today,
because
the
executive
officer
report,
which
is
agenda,
item
five
and
again
I
will
email
this
to
the
committee.
These
links
is
stating
that
that
the
executive
officer,
laura
rich,
has
been
informed
by
the
governor's
office
that
there
will
be
no
arpa
money
to
restore
the
peb
program
benefits
to
the
pre-pandemic
level.
E
E
So
we
appreciate
the
complexities
of
what
the
subcommittee
is
dealing
with,
but
we
would
like,
subject
committee
to
to
be
aware
that,
at
least
at
this
time
miss
rich
is
informing
the
board,
literally,
as
we
speak,
that
that
there
will
be
no
arpa
money
to
to
put
back
that
which
was
swept
from
the
peb
poor
pebb
program
in
the
summer
of
2020
during
the
special
session.
So
thank
you
for
your
consideration.
E
E
E
As
you
just
heard
from
ms
maloney
pub
benefits
for
state
workers
have
been
drastically
cut,
25
million
was
swept
from
pebb
at
the
2020
special
session
and
those
cuts
were
continued
for
this.
Biennium
costs
have
been
pushed
to
the
most
vulnerable,
those
with
high
medical
costs
and
the
disabled
state
employees
hear
about
the
billions
of
dollars
the
state
is
receiving
from
the
federal
government
for
fiscal
recovery
and
also
that
gaming
revenues
that
are
at
all-time
highs.
Why
has
no
action
been
taken
on
restoring
the
cuts
to
benefits
for
state
employees?
E
The
state
has
been
using
the
federal
funds
to
implement
surveillance
testing
of
unboxed
donated
employees.
At
its
meetings
this
morning,
pebb
agreed
to
accept
the
governor's
office
request
to
take
over
testing
an
unfunded
mandate
to
do
so.
A
surcharge
of
fifty
dollars
for
unbacked
employees
and
up
to
175
dollars
per
dependent
was
approved
right
now.
At
this
moment,
pebb
is
considering
plan
design
changes
for
fy2023
pebb
urgently
needs
authorization
of
arpa
or
other
state
funds
to
fully
restore
benefits.
E
Unquote,
and
this
morning
his
policy
director
told
ted
that
the
state
has
to
do
something
for
state
employees
who
have
suffered
cuts,
but
apparently
this
doesn't
include
restoring
fed
benefits
decisions
not
to
use
arp
funds
to
restore
pub
have
apparently
been
made
by
the
governor's
office
before
fully
processing
the
ideas
from
the
highly
tallied
battery
coverage
listing
her
and
without
public
consultation
of
this
committee.
So
I'm
confused
on
the
role
of
this
committee
and
the
legislature
in
this
process.
E
E
My
first
comment
is
in
reference
to
assemblywoman
carlton's
quarantine
for
seven
days
coming
out
of
mexico,
and
my
question
is
to
you:
have
you
looked
at
the
border
crisis
and
everybody
coming
over
and
yet
you're
worried
about
people
coming
back
from
mexico?
Why?
You
know
ivermectin
works
correct
dr
pierre
corey
told
you
this
in
december
2020
as
a
prophylactic
as
well
as
a
cure,
if
used
early,
and
yet
it's
still
being
denied
in
our
state.
E
You
guys
keep
using
words
as
like
help
and
compliance,
and
I
kind
of
think
it's
funny
that
you
say
you're
helping
people
in
this
state
when
actually
you're
just
complying
for
dollars
for
lots
and
lots
of
money.
Why
don't
you
know
this
other
stuff
on
therapeutics
yourself?
You
had
to
ask
questions
from
one
of
the
other.
E
E
I'm
just
saying
that
right
now,
this
whole
buildback
better
and
all
this
other
stuff,
that's
being
committed
against
this
people
in
the
state
of
nevada,
are
crimes
against
humanity,
and
I
implore
you
to
investigate
and
quit
complying
with
these
funds
that
you
guys
keep
getting
you're
being
blinded
by
money
instead
of
being
aware
of,
what's
really
going
on,
and
it's
not
appreciated.
A
All
right,
thank
you
very
much
so
with
that
we
are
finished
with
our
meeting
there,
as
we
do
not
have
a
firm
date
for
our
next
meeting.
We
are
working
with
the
ifc
and
fiscal
to
ascertain
that
date
and
we'll
let
you
know
as
soon
as
we
can
so
with
that.
A
A
Thank
you
very
much
and
all
that
we
won't
see
next
week
have
a
nice
holiday.
