A
Good
morning
welcome
to
this
ifc
meeting
and
one
of
the
first
ones
we've
had
back
in
person
in
a
long
time,
and
it
feels
really
nice
to
be
here
with
all
of
my
friends
on
ifc
and
seeing
all
the
wonderful
people
in
the
audience
in
person.
It's
a
nice
change
and
I
really
enjoy
it
much
better
than
doing
it
at
my
office.
But
I
had
to
put
on
long
pants
today
and
there
are
no
chickens
in
the
background
when
I
did
it
from
a
field
in
hawaii.
A
A
I'm
not
exactly
sure
it's
a
long
agenda
today,
there's
a
lot
going
on
and
it's
going
to
be
a
relatively
long
day
and
there's
a
lot
of
folks
that
have
a
lot
of
questions
on
some
very
important
items
and
at
one
point
we
will
take
a
lunch.
I'm
not
exactly
sure
when
that's
going
to
be
I'll
kind
of
see
what
the
kind
of
cadence
of
the
of
the
meeting
is
and
then
as
soon
as
I
feel
like.
A
I
have
a
good
understanding
of
when
that
break
will
be
I'll,
make
sure
everybody
knows
so
that
they're
not
sitting
here
waiting
for
something
that
you
know
they
might
not
have
to
do,
and
we
will
start
with
roll
call,
and
we
only
have
one
member
that's
virtual
today
and
that's
assemblyman
hafen,
who
we
have
see.
I
see
him
on
the
screen
good
morning.
Assemblyman
and
the
rest
of
us
are
here
in
the
room,
so
we'll
start
with
roll

in

room
please

up
and
state.
Your
name

it
and
two
minutes.
Please.
I
All
right,
can
everyone
hear
me:
okay,
perfect
hi,
my
name
is
matthew
han,
that's
spelled
m-a-t-t-h-e-w
han
h-a-w-n.
My
email
is
mhon
unr.edu.
I
Earlier
this
year,
this
academic
year,
we
put,
we
passed
a
resolution
at
the
nsa
and
at
the
gsa
level,
in
support
of
affordable
housing
for
graduate
students,
not
just
at
the
university
of
nevada
reno,
but
at
the
university
of
nevada,
las
vegas
to
help
support
the
graduate
education
programs
there.
As
graduate
students,
we
sit
at
a
fixed
state,
salary
income
of
fourteen
hundred
dollars
minimum
to
nineteen
hundred
dollars
per
month,
which
means
that
we
are
very
susceptible
to
the
rates
of
inflation
and
also
the
rising
housing
costs.
I
What
I
don't
want
to
see
here
for
higher
education
and
especially
graduate
higher
education,
is
housing
costs
being
a
barrier
to
entry,
and
the
reason
for
that
is
because
we've
been
working
with
our
higher
administration
to
try
to
fix
these
housing
costs.
However,
we're
coming
to
you
to
the
state,
because
we
need
your
support
as
well
in
terms
of
graduate
students
and
the
importance
and
what
they
show
to
the
university
of
nevada,
reno
and
the
university
of
nevada.
I
Las
vegas
is
we're
essential
to
the
r1
carnegie
status,
because
our
graduation
rate
helps
determine
that
r1
carnegie
status.
Additionally,
we
work
with
our
professors
on
a
day-to-day
basis,
working
on
the
bench
work
which
provides
research
for
the
state
of
nevada,
along
with
teaching
undergraduates
and
other
graduate
students.
We
are
essential
to
the
r1
status
for
these
universities.
We
are
also
essential
to
the
structure
and
function
of
these
universities.
I
Today,
we
wanted
to
come
for
public
comment
to
applaud
the
governor's
investment
in
affordable
housing
today.
That
is
on
your
agenda.
Additionally,
if
any
of
you
would
like
to
come
to
campus,
to
see
the
programs
that
we're
working
at
for
graduate
education,
we
would
love
to
have
you
there.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
L
Thank
you,
kent
irvin,
k-e-n-t
e-r-v-a-n
for
the
banana
nevada
faculty
alliance.
Good
morning,
chair
brooks
and
members
today,
you're
allocating
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
of
federal
funds
to
address
affordable
housing.
That
is
great
and
I
hope
it
makes
a
real
difference.
100
million
is
being
allocated
for
state
agencies
for
mostly
unspecified
work
programs.
L
L
L
This
is
especially
critical
at
the
public.
Employees
benefit
program
where
the
call
center
is
understaffed
and
can't
keep
up
with
calls
about
their
failed
transition
to
a
new
enrollment
system
vendor
at
nc.
Our
best
and
brightest
are
leaving
or
are
on
the
academic
job.
Market
inflation,
as
measured
by
the
western
urban
cpi,
has
been
11
since
the
last
cost
of
living
adjustment
for
state
employees.
In
july
2019
a
majority
of
state
employees
will
get
a
poultry
one
percent
increase
in
july
of
this
year
from
2009.
L
To
date,
the
take-home
pay
of
an
energy
faculty
member
in
continuous
service
has
declined
over
20
percent
in
real
dollars.
After
considering
all
pay
adjustments,
while
employees
in
state
collective
bargaining
units
will
get
a
still
part,
paltry
three
percent
and
she
faculty
are
explicitly
excluded
by
statute
for
bargaining
at
the
state
level.
L
Ambitious
state
and
higher
education
programs
can't
be
realized
without
a
strong
and
engaged
state
workforce.
It
is
essential
for
the
future
of
the
state
to
make
state
employee
compensation
and
benefits
more
competitive
and
attractive
to
new
workers.
Please
work
with
executive
branch
to
make
that
happen.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
miss
irvin
and
next
public
comment.
Please.
E
My
name
is
arturo
macias,
franco,
a-r-t-u-r-o,
macias,
m-a-c-I-a-s,
franco,
fra,
nco,
and
I
am
here
representing
the
university
of
nevada,
more
specifically,
the
graduate
student
association,
I'm
a
council
member
for
the
college
of
agriculture,
biotechnology
and
natural
resources,
and
I
just
wanted
to
provide
a
picture
of
a
little
story
of
why
I
came
to
nevada.
You
guys
will
notice
that
I
have
an
accent
right
and
my
former
education
was
in
the
state
of
california,
but
unfortunately,
even
though
I
got
accepted
into
any
university
that
I
wanted
to
go,
affordability
drove
me
to
nevada.
E
E
This
story
being
said,
is
one
of
the
primary
drivers
towards
my
education
was
affordability.
I
had
to
work
over
three
years
to
put
myself
through
college
during
my
undergrad
degree
and
often
times
making
decisions.
That
would
mean
if
I
was
going
to
pay
for
my
food
pay
for
my
tuition.
I
pay
for
my
housing.
Unfortunately,
oftentimes
I
decided
for
tuition,
I
was
living
in
my
car.
I
was
homeless
for
a
large
part
of
my
education
in
california.
E
Then
I
came
to
nevada
when
I
first
moved
to
nevada
in
2016
in
california.
Unfortunately,
in
the
present
there
is
some
that
is
also
unheard
of
in
the
state
of
nevada,
specifically
in
reno.
I
wanted
to
provide
a
brief
story
in
that
students
like
me
that
come
to
the
university
and
stay
in
the
university
because
of
all
the
beauties
and
the
services
that
has
to
offer
are
no
longer
coming
if
housing
is
an
issue.
E
A
Thank
you,
mr
masseuse
franco
and
the
next
public
comment.
Please.
E
M
a
as
me
a-z-m-e-e,
I'm
also
with
the
university
of
nevada,
reno
and
a
graduate
student,
a
member
of
the
graduate
student
association.
I
represent
the
college
of
liberal
arts
and
journalism
recently
me
and
my
fellow
representatives
have
sent
out
a
survey
to
our
constituents
and
ask
them
what
is
a
barrier
to
you.
What
are
you
struggling
with
at
this
time?
Most
of
our
students
replied
with
housing
and
stipend
increase.
We
like
we
would
like
to
applaud
you
for
working
to
provide
affordable
care
or
affordable
housing
for
our
students.
E
I
wanted
to
read
some
of
the
comments
and
responses
that
we've
received
on
our
questionnaire
from
one
of
our
students.
The
price
of
housing
in
this
area
is
more
than
what
we
are
paid.
A
hundred
percent
of
my
stipend
goes
to
rent
and
I'm
still
two
hundred
dollars
short
every
month
from
another
student.
E
E
In
addition
to
that,
a
lot
of
our
college
students
do
not
also
have
medical
care,
so
between
choosing
from
their
housing,
food
and
medical
care.
We
are
left
short
we
would
like
to
let
you
know
that
this
is
a
great
opportunity
not
to
not
just
provide
immediate
solutions
for
our
students
and
the
state
in
general,
but
also
it
can
be
an
investment
for
the
future,
and
we
would
like
your
help
in
that.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you,
chair
brooks
vice
chair
carlton
and
the
committee
for
the
record
bill.
Brewer
b-r-e-w-e-r,
the
executive
director
for
the
nevada
rural
housing
authority,
I'm
here
today
to
ask
for
your
vote
to
transfer
250
million
dollars
in
fiscal
recovery.
Funds
to
the
home
means
nevada
initiative,
which
would
be
allocated
to
the
department
of
business
and
industry,
housing,
division
for
the
purposes
of
developing
and
preserving
affordable
housing
in
nevada.
C
We're
grateful
to
the
housing
community
in
this
state
and
to
the
governor's
office
for
getting
this
request
to
you.
Nevada
is
at
a
crossroad,
and
you
have
an
important
decision
to
make.
This
isn't
a
question
of,
should
we
or
shouldn't
we.
Instead,
it's
a
question
of
what
happens
if
we
don't
invest
in
housing.
The
answer
presents
itself
every
day
in
our
current
environment.
We
are
at
a
place
of
crisis
because
of
decades
of
uphill
challenges,
but
we
have
a
once
in
a
lifetime
opportunity
to
reduce
this
incline.
C
Nevada.
Rural
housing
authority
is
mission
driven
to
its
core,
but
missions
are
tough
to
fulfill.
When
it's
wildly
difficult
to
make
housing
developments
pencil
these
dollars
could
change.
So
much
of
that.
For
us
in
rural
nevada,
while
there
are
other
challenges,
we
can't
control
in
our
industry
or
in
the
world
for
that
matter.
This
is
something
we
can
do
to
continue
the
momentum
of
recovery.
We
have
partnerships,
relationships
and
movement
on
projects
throughout
rural
nevada
that
could
potentially
benefit
from
this
investment
without
the
opportunity
to
utilize
some
of
these
funds.
C
C
This
investment
will
impact
our
kids,
our
grandkids
and
generations,
to
come
if
done
right,
and
we
have
the
utmost
confidence
in
the
nevada,
housing,
division's
people
and
proven
processes
to
be
a
responsible
and
accountable
steward.
This
could
help
our
housing
ecosystem
in
perpetuity.
Let's
do
this
together
now.
Thank
you.

Heidi

good
morning,

senators
and
assembly
members.
Thank
you
for
your
time
today.
My
name
is
heidi
mckendree,
I'm
the
interim
executive
director
for
the
reno
housing
authority.
It's
no
secret
that
the
shortage
of
affordable
housing
in
nevada
has
been
has
become
a
crisis.
We
see
it
on
the
news.
Every
day,
housing
prices
for
a
modest
one-bedroom
apartment
in
northern
nevada
have
nearly
doubled.
In
the
past
six
years,
availability
of
affordable
housing
was
scarce
before
the
pandemic
and
is
even
more
so
now.
J
J
There
has
never
been
a
time
when
the
need
for
affordable
housing
has
been
greater
than
right.
Now
the
american
rescue
plan
has
provided
nevada
a
unique
opportunity
to
address
the
affordable
housing
crisis
head
on
the
nevada
housing
division
is
the
most
qualified
agency
to
administer
this
historic
and
unprecedented
federal
allocation
of
funds
that
the
governor
has
earmarked
500
million
dollars
of
for
affordable
housing.
J
The
rha
wholly
supports
the
nevada,
housing
division,
administering
the
250
million
dollars
that
you're
considering
today
and
any
future
allocations
for
affordable
housing.
They
are
the
most
qualified
organization
to
ensure
that
these
dollars
are
used
in
the
most
impactful
and
efficient
manner
by
prioritizing
projects
that
will
serve
the
greatest
number
of
nevadans.
J
The
reno
housing
authority
with
over
75
years
of
experience,
providing
affordable
housing
and
a
hud
high
performing
agency
is
poised
and
ready
to
work
with
the
division
and
our
local
jurisdictions
to
move
the
this
issue
forward
and
take
action.
Our
seniors,
our
disabled
community
members
and
our
low-income
families
cannot
wait.
I
appreciate
the
ifc
addressing
this
vital
need
for
nevadans
today
and
thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.

What
does
housing?
Affordability?
Look
like
affordability
looks
like
rick,
a
formerly
homeless
veteran
who
lives
at
richards
crossing
an
affordable
community
built
by
nevada,
rural
housing
in
carson
city.
E
Rick
once
told
me
that
not
only
did
the
hand
up
ensure
a
safe
place
to
sleep
at
night,
but
that
it
got
him
on
a
path
toward
being
able
to
apply
for
a
job
reconnecting
with
family
and
achieving
some
stability.
It's
tough
to
do
that
from
the
street.
Affordability
looks
like
samantha
who
works
in
housing
herself
and
her
husband,
brian,
as
a
welder,
with
assistance
from
our
home
at
last
program.
They
were
able
to
purchase
a
home
of
their
own
in
winnemucca,
giving
their
family
a
better
opportunity
for
generational
wealth.
E
E
We
all
know
our
communities
need
brian
there
to
do
those
welding
jobs,
teachers
who
can
work
and
live
in
the
areas
they
serve.
The
server
at
the
restaurant
you
like
to
frequent
the
dental
hygienist,
the
law
enforcement
officer,
those
in
the
service
and
hospitality
industries.
If
we
can't
all
survive
and
thrive
in
the
communities
we
serve
the
ecosystem
fails.
E
I
encourage
you
to
think
about
the
veterans
like
rick,
the
brian's
and
the
samantha's,
those
who
serve
our
communities
in
important
and
vital
ways.
As
you
make
many
important
decisions
today,
I
ask
that
this
committee
vote
to
transfer
250
million
to
the
home
means
nevada
initiative
category
to
allocate
to
the
department
of
business
and
industry
housing
division
for
the
purposes
of
developing
and
provi
preserving,
affordable
housing
in
nevada.
Thank
you.
A
E
My
name
is
mark
ellis
m-a-r-c-e-l-l-I-s.
Can
everybody
hear
me
I'm
having
an
asthma
attack
right
now,
so
critical
housing
isn't
affordable.
Housing
is
critical
here,
but
I
feel
kind
of
sheepish
following
all
that
up,
but
I'm
here
to
talk
about
something
that
I
feel
is
also
important,
which
is
broadband
in
nevada.
E
One
thing
we
learned
during
this
pandemic
is
how
important
internet
is
to
everybody's
home.
Currently
I
am
working
with
the
company.
I
work
out
in
austin
nevada.
I've
also
worked
been
working
in
eureka,
nevada,
very
rural
areas.
E
I've
been
talking
with
some
of
the
cities,
some
of
the
rural
areas
and
they're
on
board
with
it.
What
I
want
to
add
is
I've
dealt
with
att
as
well,
and
normally
you'll
hear
communication
workers
of
america
and
at
t
don't
always
see
eye
to
eye.
We
are
in
absolute
locked
step
on
this.
E
E
E
Good
morning,
chairman
brooks
vice
chair
carlton
and
members
of
the
interim
finance
committee.
For
the
record,
my
name
is
ariel
edwards
a-r-I-e-l-l-e,
e-d-w-a-r-d-s
government
relations
manager
for
nevada
hand,
nevada
hand
is
the
state's
largest
501c3
nonprofit
organization
dedicated
to
the
financing
development,
construction
and
management
of
high
quality
homes
in
support
of
resident
services
in
working
families
and
seniors
on
fixed
incomes.
There
are
35
nevada
hand,
communities,
housing,
8,
000,
low-income
residents
in
southern
nevada
across
our
portfolio,
our
average
monthly
rent
for
our
residents
is
approximately
730
dollars
a
month.
E
We're
proud
that
we
currently
have
over
700
units
of
affordable
housing,
either
under
construction
or
currently
being
rehabbed.
However,
we
also
recognize
that,
according
to
the
national
low-income
housing
coalition,
nevada
is
50th
in
the
nation,
with
the
lowest
statewide
supply
of
affordable
housing
and
in
nevada
we
only
have
20,
affordable
units
available
for
every
100,
extremely
low
income.
Households.
Therefore,
with
the
help
of
unprecedented
federal
relief
dollars
going
towards
housing,
our
state
is
positioned
to
move
the
needle
and
to
start
to
close
the
gap
between
the
affordable
housing
need
and
the
current
housing
stock.
E
We
rely
on
the
on
a
variety
of
federal
and
state
financing
mechanisms
to
ensure
that
a
project
can
be
funded
adequately.
We
believe
the
home
means
nevada
initiative
shows
nevada's
vested
interest
in
affordable
housing
throughout
our
state.
There
are
many
ways
to
support,
affordable
housing,
but
access
to
arpa
funds
for
affordable
housing
developers
and
our
community
partners
would
have
wide
reaching
benefits
for
the
residents
of
our
communities
in
nevadans
across
the
state
nevada
hand
is
ready
with
projects
in
a
pipeline
that
could
potentially
benefit
from
these
funds.
E
E
Nevada
is
facing
a
housing
crisis
due
to
the
skyrocketing
rents
and
limited
supply
of
affordable
housing.
We
must
invest
in
housing
options
to
meet
this
moment
and
ensure
that
all
nevadans
can
have
a
safe
and
affordable
place
to
call
home.
But
that
is
not
a
simple
problem
that
can
be
solved
through
one
vote.
We
need
to
be
thinking
both
and
when
it
comes
to
solutions
not
this
or
that
the
homing's
nevada
initiative
is
an
important
piece
of
the
puzzle,
alongside
tenant
protection
legislation
to
address
the
needs
of
the
community.
E
Today,
our
communities
cannot
thrive
when
our
neighbors
are
at
risk
of
unfair
displacement.
Housing
stability
is
the
foundation
for
safety
and
security,
children's
educational
success,
positive
health
outcomes,
economic
opportunity
and
equitable
vibrant
communities.
Right
now
we
are
squeezing
families
budgets
to
the
brink.
Even
if
displacement
does
not
occur,
lack
of
affordable
housing
means
families
spend
more
of
their
income
on
housing
and
less
on
other
basic
necessities
like
food,
medicine
and
utilities.
E
We
are
thankful
that
the
governor
has
heard
the
call
from
constituents
that
this
is
the
most
pressing
issue
in
their
lives
today
and
urge
you
to
continue
to
invest
in
affordable
housing
and
policies
that
ensure
all
nevada
residents
can
maintain
a
safe
and
affordable
roof
over
their
heads.
Thank
you.

E
Here,
representing
nami,
which
is
national
alliance
on
mental
illness,
nami
nevada,
so
nami
too
supports
and
appreciates
your
consideration
of
the
250
million
dollars
pushed
toward
you
today
in
the
home
means
nevada
initiative.
This
initiative
has
five
important
buckets
to
it,
and
one
of
them
is
the
development
of
affordable
housing.
What
I
ask
your
attention
to.
E
Our
substance
addicted
population,
people
whom
we
want
to
move
into
recovery
and
the
workforce.
We
really
need
to
use
this
subsidy,
this
gift,
to
create
that
subsidy
for
the
extremely
low
income
nevadans.
Our
existing,
affordable
housing
system
is
working
very
well
for
people
at
60
percent
of
ami
and
above
we
are
not
reaching
the
lowest
folks,
and
so
with.
O
This
gift
of
arpa,
we
have
the
subsidy
to
reach
the.
E
People
we
need
most.
Everyone
today
has
talked
about
this
being
a
once-in-a-lifetime
gift,
lifetimes
go
on,
and
so
nami
will
be
bringing
forward
to
you,
proposals
to
create
revenue
to
address
this
extreme
gap.
More
than
50
or
50.
An
enormous
number
of
the
people
who
are
extremely
low
income
pay
more
than
50
percent
of
their
rent
for
housing,
as
we
just
heard
from
the
graduate
student
association.
So
thank
you
for
this
great
work,
let's
target
it
to
where
we
need
it
most
have
a
great
day.
Thank
you.
Thank.
E
E
According
to
a
hud
federal
family
option
study
without
stable
housing,
young
people
are
more
vulnerable
to
mental
health
problems,
developmental
delays
and
poor
cognitive
outcomes.
There
is
a
correlation
between
housing,
instability
and
trauma
which
can
negatively
impact
future
success.
Educational
outcomes
for
children
are
also
improved
with
housing
stability.
Young
people
in
stable
housing
are
less
likely
to
repeat
a
grade
and
less
likely
to
drop
out
of
school.
E
Ultimately,
the
lack
of
stable
housing
has
long
lasting
effects
that
can
impact
health,
education
and
employment
throughout
people's
lives
and
future
generations
another.
In
an
example,
the
study
demonstrated
that
access
to
housing
that
is
affordable
and
supportive
leads
to
substantial
benefits,
reducing
food
insecurity
and
school
mobility.
It
also
improves
well-being
among
adults
as
well
as
children.
In
addition,
the
study
offers
evidence
that
providing
access
to
housing
that
is
affordable,
strengthens
family
well-being
and
dramatically
reduces
child
separations
and
domestic
violence
and
physical
distress.
E
I
would
like
to
say
that
previously
I
was
a
teacher
and
I've
witnessed
this
firsthand,
and
I
know
that
some
sitting
members
are
also
teachers
and
witness
the
effects
that
insecure
housing
has
on
their
students.
One
student
in
particular
that
I
would
like
to
mention
was
extremely
angry
and
violent,
and
no
one
could
figure
out
what
was
wrong.
She
was
on
her
last
leg,
and
this
was
the
last
school
that
would
accept
her.
E
She
was
taking
public
transportation
to
her
home
because
all
of
the
schools
that
she
was
zoned
for
were
no
longer
able
to
accept
her
and
when
she
missed
the
bus.
One
day
I
took
her
home
to
find
out
that
they
had
no
electricity,
because
mom
had
had
to
decide
between
electricity
and
paying
rent
and
was
living
with
eight
people
in
a
one-bedroom
apartment,
which
is
why
she
was
unable
to
turn
in
her
homework
on
time
and
so
angry
at
school.
E
E
Thank
you
good
morning,
chair
brooks
vice
chair,
carlton
and
members
of
the
committee.
For
the
record,
my
name
is
christine
hess
and
I
am
the
executive
director
for
the
nevada
housing
coalition.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
time
and
service
this
morning.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
governor,
the
department
of
business
and
industry,
the
governor's
team,
the
nevada
housing
division
for
their
commitment
to
affordable
housing,
with
the
request
to
transfer
250
million
dollars
to
the
home
means
nevada
reserve.
E
E
How
much
should
nevada
leadership
consider
committing
our
statewide
task
force
concluded
that
a
500
million
dollar
investment
matched
the
needs
of
struggling
nevadans
wow?
My
eyes
got
wide
too,
but
we
listened,
as
you
are
all
listening
to
the
untenable
situation
of
our
neighbors,
our
businesses,
our
seniors,
our
workers,
our
students,
our
children.
E
How
should
an
allocation
of
funds
be
distributed
among
the
various
affordable
housing
priorities
and
initiatives,
multi-family
development,
preservation
of
our
existing,
affordable
housing,
home
ownership
and
land?
Also,
let's
prioritize
20
percent
of
the
funds
for
permanent
supportive
housing
and
housing
for
our
extremely
low
income.
Nevadans.
E
E
The
division
has
been
leading,
collaborative
and
coordinated
conversations
throughout
the
pandemic,
and
now,
as
it
looks
ahead,
I
urge
you
to
approve
the
200
and
the
transfer
of
250
million
dollars
to
the
home,
means
nevada,
reserve
and
activate
these
resources
for
affordable
housing.
Today,
this
investment
will
benefit
nevadans
for
generations
to
come.
Thank
you.
E
F
E
I
B
I
Sir,
thank
you
and
good
morning,
chair
brooks
vice
chair
carlton
and
members
of
the
committee.
My
name
is
austin
brown,
that's
a-u-s-t-I-n-b-r-o-w-n
and
I
have
the
privilege
of
serving
as
the
asun
student
body
president
at
the
university
of
nevada,
reno
you're
voting
on
a
transfer
of
250
million
dollars
that
would
go
towards
funding,
affordable
housing
today,
and
I
want
to
let
you
all
know
how
impactful
this
would
be
on
the
students,
staff
and
faculty
at
the
university
of
nevada.
I
But
first
I
want
to
thank
our
governor
and
our
legislators
for
investing
in
affordable
housing
in
our
state
in
2020
22
of
our
students,
who
responded
to
a
civic
engagement
survey
identified
as
not
having
a
home
over
the
last
six
months.
These
dollars
would
be
absolutely
critical
in
helping
our
students
succeed
in
completing
their
education
here
in
the
state
of
nevada,
where
scholars
are
going
to
sleep
at
night
should
not
be
a
factor
that
hinders
their
education,
but
and
by
approving
these
funds
we
are
one
step
closer
to
making
this
concept
a
reality.
I
Under
the
guidance
of
president
sandoval
and
through
collaboration
with
our
wonderful
mayor,
our
university
has
made
great
steps
this
year
to
ensure
that
students
have
what
they
need
to
succeed,
including
working
towards
more
affordable
housing
units
for
students
on
and
near
our
campus.
However,
we
are
still
hearing
from
our
students,
like
you've
heard
from
many
today,
that
we
are
still
in
need
of
help,
and
today
I'm
asking
for
all
of
you
to
be
a
part
of
that
solution.
I
A
Are
there
any
rebels?
I
mean
any
other
public
comment
in
the
in
the
audience
before
we
move
to
the
phone,
so
I
think
do
we
have
anyone
else
here.
O
O
I
all
of
you
that
spoke
today
live
right
in
my
community,
and
it
just
makes
me
so
proud
and
thank
you
for
the
kind
words
I
didn't
pay
him
to
say
that,
but
I
was
very
proud,
but
I
have
to
tell
you
I
don't
want
to
sound
like
a
broken
record.
You
guys
all
know
that
this
is
a
dire
need
for
many,
many
of
many
of
you
and
my
community,
all
of
us
in
nevada.
The
great
thing
is
nevada.
We
truly
work
together.
O
That's
the
state
that
we
all
are,
and
we
know
and
love
so,
like
I
said,
I'm
not
gonna
go
through
these
notes.
I
think
this
is
totally
redundant.
Everyone
has
made
some
excellent,
excellent
points.
What
I
am
going
to
tell
you
is
that
reno
is
ready.
We
have
been
ready.
I've
worked
with
many
of
you
for
many
years
on
housing,
especially
we
started
in
2018.
We
knew
this
was
going
to
be
coming.
O
We
kept
going,
we
kept
going
after
and
after
and
after
it
and
I've
been
fortunate
enough
to
work
with
so
many
people
in
my
community
that
build
and
develop
housing,
and
we
need
it
now
more
than
ever,
but
reno
is
ready
and
we're
putting
shovels
in
the
ground.
Now
it's
always
been
incredibly
challenging.
All
of
us
know
in
2018
sort
of
in
the
in
you
know
the
downturn
of
the
economy,
projects
stopped
and
now
we're
trying
to
play
catch-up.
So
really
this
money
is
essential.
It
is
essential
to
make
it
happen.
O
I
many
of
you
know
I'm
a
massive
mental
health
advocate.
I
never
ever
realized
the
difference.
Having
a
roof
over
your
head
could
possibly
be
a
young
man
by
the
well,
I
say
young,
but
a
young
man
by
the
name
of
cowboy.
O
I
met
him
at
the
safe
camp,
it's
our
shelter
in
reno
and
we
were
talking
about
what
his
future
looked
like
and
he
said
I'm
becoming
hopeless
and
he
looked
defeated
and
he
looked
so
tired
and
he
said
all
I
want
is
a
roof
over
my
head
and
I
said:
well,
we
will
put
you
on
the
housing
list
when
I
walked
away.
I
will
tell
you
I
thought
to
myself.
This
could
take
a
very
very
long
time
months,
if
not
years
he'd
been
living
on
the
street.
For
five
years.
O
Three
weeks
ago
I
attended
affordable
housing,
grand
opening
green
street
built
a
beautiful
property
100,
affordable
units.
This
man
walked
up
to
me.
We
started
talking.
He
had
tears
in
his
eyes,
but
not
just
tears.
They
were
crocodile
tears
and
he
said
you
don't
recognize
me
do
you
and
I
said
no,
I
don't,
and
he
said
I'm
cowboy
and
he
said
I
can't
begin
to
tell
you
how
my
life
has
changed.
He
looked
well
rested.
O
He
was
clean-shaven,
he's
gotten
a
job
he's
connecting
with
his
family
and
he
said
it
brought
hope
back
into
his
life.
I
had
no
idea
the
impacts
of
what
that
meant
to
someone,
and
so
many
people
in
my
community
tell
I
saw
it
firsthand.
You
would
have
been
shocked
night
and
day
difference
because
he
had
a
roof
over
his
head.
O
It
truly
moved
me.
It
really
really
moved
me,
so
I
just
want
to
tell
you.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
hard
work.
All
you
all
you
guys
do.
It
means
a
lot
to
me.
It
means
a
lot
to
our
community.
It
means
a
lot
to
the
state,
and
so
we
really
do.
We
have
an
opportunity
with
this
money
to
really
make
a
difference,
and
I'm
I'm
grateful
that
I
get
to
partner
with
all
of
you,
and
I
know
your
job
is
hard
and
and
just
appreciate
you
very
much
so.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
mayor
stevie,
do
we
have
any
other
folks
in
the
audience
that
want
to
make
public
comment
before
I
move
to
the
phones?
All
right,
I
don't
see
any
so
broadcast
services
team.
Do
we
have
anybody
on
the
phones
that
would
like
to
make
public
comment.
N
H
I
have
no
chin
today,
so
it's
quiet
in
the
background
somebody
stepped
on
my
dog's
paw,
so
we're
off
today
he's
going
to
be
fine.
Looking
at
that,
I
do
represent
the
nevada
disability
peer
action
coalition,
and
I
do
echo
all
of
the
public
commenters
before
me,
especially
the
nami
rep.
We
I
do
represent
some
people
with
disabilities
or
most
of
my
coalition
are
people
with
disability
and
they
do
fall
under
the
ami
of
30
percent.
H
We
would
really
encourage
you
guys
to
please
the
even
the
accessible
and
affordable
housing
is
needed,
and
especially
inclusion
and
diversity
and
disability
must
be
included
in
that.
At
some
point
you
are
born
non-disabled,
but,
as
you
get
older,
you
know
you
become
a
disabled
population.
So
so
please
do
not
forget
us.
I
know
sometimes
we're
out
of
sight,
but
we
are
here
and
we
do
suffer
a
lot
of
stuff-
that
people
with
all
due
respect,
people
who
are
non-disabled,
take
it
for
granted.
H
One
of
the
ladies
who
is
a
member
of
my
coalition,
always
almost
go
to
food
pantry,
because
her
rent
is
six
hundred
dollars.
She
makes
900
from
ssi.
She
can't
find
a
job
because
her
affordable
housing
is
outside
of
transportation
circle,
so
sometimes
she
relies
on
friends
and
and
good
samaritans
that
will
give
her
a
ride.
H
A
Thank
you,
miss
martinez
next,
caller,
please,
and
I
just
want
to
remind
the
callers
on
public
comment
to
try
to
be
as
concise
as
you
can,
because
I
just
I
just
saw
that
there's
35
calls
in
in
the
queue
and
so
to
the
extent
that
it's
something
that
you
can
echo
or
or
just
reinforce
what
maybe
another
caller
said.
That
would
be
helpful
to
make
sure
that
we
can
hear
from
every
one
of
those
35
people.
So
with
that
next
caller.
Please.
N
Good
morning,
chris
bailey
nevada
state
education
association,
the
voice
of
nevada
educators
for
over
120
years,
nsca
offers
our
strong
support
for
investment
of
american
rescue
plan
dollars
in
the
home
means
nevada
initiative
to
take
a
big
step
toward
addressing
the
housing
crisis
sweeping
across
the
state.
Nfc
stands
united
with
our
allies
and
the
nevada
housing
justice
alliance,
because
we
understand
the
critical
importance
of
housing
availability
for
the
families
of
our
students,
as
well
as
our
members
before
the
pandemic.
N
A
lack
of
safe,
decent
and
stable
place
to
live
was
a
significant
obstacle
to
learning
and
success
for
our
most
at-risk
students.
Now,
on
the
heels
of
the
pandemics
unemployment
crisis,
skyrocketing
costs
have
seriously
compromised
housing
security
for
more
and
more
nevadans.
This
not
only
harms
our
students
and
their
families.
It
places
additional
pressures
on
already
overburdened
school
communities.
N
Nsca
represents
teachers,
other
licensed
professionals,
as
well
as
education
support
professionals
across
the
state.
It
is
increasingly
common
to
hear
stories
from
new
teachers
about
their
struggles
to
find
housing.
A
starting
teacher
would
have
to
spend
nearly
one
half
of
their
salary
to
rent
an
average
one-bedroom
apartment
in
reno.
Home
ownership
is
just
plain
out
of
reach
for
most
new
educators,
with
the
average
sales
prices
there
over
half
a
million
dollars.
These
numbers
are
far
more
daunting
for
many
of
the
workers
who
make
our
schools
run.
N
The
stark
contrast
between
educator,
pay
and
cost
of
living
helps
explain
the
unprecedented
shortage
of
educators
to
teach
our
kids
and
make
our
schools
run
right
now.
Ccsd
alone
lists
nearly
2
000
vacant
positions.
Nevada
needs
bold
action
to
address
this
crisis
in
public
schools
by
both
paying
educators
better
and
investing
in
affordable
housing.
Nsca's
proposed
time
for
20
that
includes
a
20
increase
in
educator
pay
and
at
least
20
an
hour
for
the
workers
who
make
our
schools
run.

Today
you
have
an
opportunity
to
vote
for
children
and
families
while
making
a
dent
in
some
pressing
social
issues,
whether
addressing
dwindling
housing,
housing,
affordability,
food
insecurity
or
the
vital
access
to
learning
and
services
afforded
by
broadband.
You
can
vote
for
progress
today.
H
In
support
of
this
effort,
we
have
submitted
an

detailing
the

with
the
potential
to
positively
improve
conditions
for
children

families
in
the
areas
of
health,
education,
child

and
economic
well-being.
We
hope
you
will
join
us
by
investing
in

I'm

I'm
here
on

of
the
nevada

H
As
many

know,
housing

our

health,
and
it
is
important
for
us
to
work
together
to
develop
creative
strategies
to
keep

housed

healthy.
The
development
of
affordable

and,
in
particular,
supportive

is
key
to
us
scaling
up
evidence-based
housing
interventions
for
our

Thank
you.

I'm

We
see

every

H
The
homies

initiative
is
an
important
way
to
strengthen
the

for
our
community,
to
help
people
regain
their
footings
and
to
help
them
have
a
sense
of

When
it
comes
to
the
basic
human
right
of
housing,
it's
not
enough
to
say
that
we
care
about

We
have
to
show
that

and
that's
what
this

does.

N
Good
morning,
chair
and
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
paul.
Katha,
that's
c-a-t-h-a
and
I
represent
the
culinary
workers
union
local
226.
nevada
is
experiencing
a
housing
crisis
that
is
destabilizing
our
neighborhoods,
making
nevadans
less
safe
and
pushing
working
families
out
of
their
communities.
The
culinary
union
recently
did
a
survey
of
hospitality
workers
and
20
of
those
who
responded
said
they
were
hit
with
more
than
a
500
rent
increase.
This
year,
one
culinary
union
guest
from
attendant
had
their
rent
recently
doubled
from
900
to
900
a
month
to
1800
a
month.
N
The
rent
is
too
high.
The
culinary
union
applauds
governor
syslax
proposal
to
invest
500
million
in
affordable
housing.
The
home
means
nevada
program
is
a
worthy
use
of
once
in
a
lifetime
arpa
dollars
to
address
housing,
affordability.
The
culinary
union
would
like
to
thank
the
governor
and
the
legislature
for
this
historic
investment.
N
Furthermore,
the
culinary
union
encourages
elected
officials
to
aggressively
work
to
find
solutions
which
ensure
nevadans
can
afford
their
rent
in
the
coming
weeks
and
months.
The
state
of
nevada
must
protect
nevadans
by
preventing
members
of
our
community
from
being
priced
out
of
the
housing
market.
By
wealthy
corporations
attempting
to
profit
here
and
gouge
tenants
with
massive
and
unfair
rent
increases,
thank
you.
N
N
As
previous
speakers
have
indicated,
the
initiative
will
lower
the
cost
of
housing,
help
seniors,
make
repairs
and
accessibility
retrofits
to
stay
in
their
homes
and
boost
housing,
availability
house
state
housing
is
an
essential.
Social
determinant
of
health
and
saint
rose
is
thankful
that
the
legislature
and
governor's
office
are
taking
action
to
address
nevada,
nevada's,
affordable
housing
crisis.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
N
N
N
I've
always
believed
the
balance
between
the
three
three
branches
of
government
serves
our
citizens
best
because
of
the
limitations
of
biennial
sessions
and
biennial.
Budgeting
nevada's
executive
branch
has
disproportionate
influence
over
the
budgeting
function.
That
is
constitutionally
assigned
to
the
legislature.
N
The
transfer
of
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
to
do
a
work
program
from
the
interim
finance
committee
to
the
housing
division
for
affordable
housing
should
be
concerning
to
legislatures
legislators,
but
extraordinary
opportunity
calls
for
extraordinary
measures
where
this
item
could
go
through
the
normal
legislative
process.
The
normal
process,
the
legislature,
would
follow
certain
steps.
You
define
the
problem,
you
can
identify
possible
solutions,
you
vet
the
best
options
and
you
create
a
work
program
that
effectively
and
efficiently
solves
a
problem,
and
you
would
fund
it
accordingly
here.
N
You're
dealing
with
the
problem
of
affordable
housing
problem
is
hardly
a
new
one,
and
this
body
has
spent
decades
defining
what
the
problems
are
further,
because
this
is
not
a
new
problem.
The
universe
of
efficient
and
effective
solutions
has
been
narrowed
over
time
as
well.
The
challenge
has
always
been
finding
sufficient
funding
resources
to
implement
those
solutions.
N
Through
these
arp
dollars.
We
have
a
unique
opportunity
to
do
just
that
to
fund
many
of
the
strategies
we
hoped
would
help
nevadans
with
secure,
affordable
housing
options,
governor
sissel
accredited
not
recognized,
affordable
housing
as
a
priority
for
use
of
this
money.
As
you
know,
this
money
comes
with
restrictions
on
use
and
must
also
be
used
within
a
time
window.
The
nevada
home
builders
association
has
actively
worked
with
the
nevada
housing
coalition
to
consider
options
to
address
the
housing
needs
of
nevada's.
N
We
have
examined
in
detail
the
work
programs
under
the
housing
division.
We
have
spent
time
with
their
leadership.
The
governor's
recommendations
are
closely
aligned
with
those
of
the
nevada
housing
coalition.
That
is
why
we
are
comfortable
recommending
approval
of
this
work
program.
It
is
a
vital
constitutional
function
that
the
legislature
control
the
power
of
the
purse.
The
arp
is
an
extraordinary
opportunity
to
fund
many
of
the
priorities
the
legislature
has
struggled
to
fund.
In
the
past,
many
of
governors,
systematics
recommendations
have
been
thoughtfully,
reviewed
by
a
robust
process
within
the
nevada
housing
college.
N
I
am
confident
that,
even
if
this
were
to
go
through
the
entire
legislative
process,
there
would
be
little
if
any
variance
from
the
current
solutions
proposed.
Therefore,
because
of
the
constraints
of
time
and
the
extraordinary
opportunity
presented
under
the
arp,
we
support
the
ifc
approval
of
this
agenda
item.
N
N
I'm
the
policy
director
of
safety
next
nevada,
and
we
are
a
member
of
the
nevada
house
of
deployment.
A
Excuse
me,
sir
you're
really
you're
very
muted,
and
we
can't
hear
you
if
you
could
start
over
and
maybe
try
to
talk
just
a
little
bit
louder.
N
All
right,
hopefully,
this
is
a
bit
better.
It
is
better
go
right
ahead
to
the
interim
finance
committee
awesome.
My
name

benjamin

b-e-n-j-a-m-I-n.
N
N
The
transfer
of
250
million
dollars
of
upper
funds
to
the
home
means
nevada
program,
we'd
also
like
to
applaud
governor
sisselek
and
the
legislature
with
the
eventual
passage
of
this
transfer.
This
is
an
unprecedented
investment
of
500
million,
a
part
of
the
precedent,
investment
of
500
million
dollars
for
affordable
housing
here
in
nevada.
This.
C
N
An
essential
investment
for
all
nevadans
who
are
experiencing
housing
and
securities,
as
many
have
mentioned
prior
folks
of
different
walks
of
life,
have
have
been
making
difficult
decisions
when
it
comes
to
their
budgets,
especially
when
housing
costs
take
up
more
than
the
quote:
unquote
recommended
30
percent
of
their
budget,
oftentimes
more
than
50
percent.
This
has
a
lot
of
shorts
and
long-term
effects
on
health,
mental
health,
education
and
much
more.
N
N
This
housing
crisis
crisis
has
been
present
in
nevada
for
years
now,
but
has
been
made
much
much
worse
as
a
result
of
the
pandemic.
With
this
investment
we
will
begin
to,
but
to
make
huge
steps
with
fixing
the
inequalities
in
housing
access.
This
is
not
only
the
right
moral
step
to
do
to
make
sure
that
all
nevadans
have
access
to
a
safe
and
affordable
housing.
N
Additionally,
we
also
must
be
making.
We
must
also
be
taking
a
look
at
additional
tenant
protections
to
keep
nevadans
in
their
homes.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
N
Good
morning,
chair
brooks
and
members
of
the
interim
finance
committee
for
the
record,
this
treasurer
zach
conan,
I'm
calling
in
support
of
item
g118,
an
amazing
investment
into
affordable
housing
for
nevada
housing,
or
the
lack
thereof,
is
the
most
existential
threat
to
nevada's
strong
economic
recovery
during
the
nevada,
recovery's
listening
tour,
we
held
over
120
community
meetings
over
80
days.
Hearing
constantly
that
housing
was
a
top
concern
for
residents
throughout.
Our
state.
Nevada
is
currently
facing
a
deficit
of
over
105,
affordable
housing
units,
including
84
000
units
for
extremely
low
income
individuals.
N
Since
2020.,
we
recognize
that
housing
is
a
human
right
and
every
single
nevadan
should
have
access
to
an
affordable
place
to
live
to
address
nevada's
housing
crisis.
We
are
doing
everything
we
can
at
the
state
level
to
make
strategic
investments
in
housing
across
the
state
we've
provided
over
280
million
dollars
in
emergency
rental
assistance
to
over
52
000
households.
N
We've
issued
more
tax-exempt
bonds
to
support
affordable
housing
than
any
other
administration
in
history,
with
an
additional
300
million
in
bonding
that
will
support
3
000
units
by
2024
and
our
very
own
nevada
state
infrastructure
bank
has
worked
to
partner
with
the
afl-cio's
housing
investment
trust
to
develop
a
pipeline
of
projects
supported
by
nevada's,
first
ever
social
bond
issuance.
That
will
deliver
an
additional
200
million
dollars
in
new,
affordable
housing
projects
beginning
this
year.
N
Today's
investment
of
an
initial
250
million
into
the
governor's
home
means
nevada
initiative
demonstrates
the
state's
long-term
commitment
to
making
sure
that
tackling
the
affordable
housing
crisis
is
a
top
priority
at
the
highest
levels
of
our
government.
With
this
investment
home
means
nevada.
The
state
is
committing
more
than
a
million
a
billion
dollars
dealing
with
a
b
towards
making
sure
that
every
nevadan
has
a
place
to
live
and
make
a
life
for
their
families.
N
N
I'm
calling
today
in
support
of
g118
this
historic
investment
of
once
in
a
lifetime
funds
into
affordable
housing
will
go
a
long
way
toward
addressing
nevada's,
equally
historic,
under
investment
in
affordable
housing
infrastructure
and
do
much
to
help
nevadans
all
across
our
state
who
are
increasingly
being
shut
out
of
the
housing
and
rental
markets.
It's
a
challenge
for
us
to
say
home
means
nevada
when
nevadans
cannot
afford
to
live
in
nevada.

nevadan
born

as
well
as
work
program,
22frs10034

dual
citizen
students,

quality,
pre-k
academic
programming
for

student
skills
can
and
should
include
internationally
focused
curriculum
awareness
for
our
students.
D
Sometimes
multicultural
students
get
left
behind
because
they
are
so
far
advanced
and
we
all
understand
that
this
type
of
academic
neglect
begins
to
play
out
as
social
and
emotional
challenges
for
our
students.
This
outreach
starts
pre-k
setting
up
pre-k
programs
for
globally
diverse
students,
for
example.
First
and
second,
generational
multi-language
families
not
only
sets
students
up
for
success
for
inclusion,
but
it
also
gives
opportunity
for
the
state
of
nevada
to
use
the
strength
of
our
diverse
global
industry
market.
D
We
are
missing
low-hanging,
fruit
and
the
fruits
are
our
children.
Nevada
can
level
our
biggest
educational
challenges
by
using
our
biggest
state
advantages.
Global
human
capital,
investment
through
education,
our
international
children,
are
ready
to
be
engaged
not
only
through
steam,
but
also
through
global
cultural
communication
systems
must
be
set
in
place
for
testing
students,
advanced
knowledge
pre-k,
as
well
as
maintaining
testing
options
for
advanced
placement.
K-12,
though
these
types
of
systems
are
sometimes
set
in
place
in
southern
nevada
schools.
It
has
been
my
experience
as
a
mother
that
they
are
extremely
difficult
to
access.
N
C
C
We
currently
have
a
waiting
list
of
approximately
twenty
nine
thousand
six
hundred.
Seventy
four
applicants
for
all
of
our
programs.
Our
physical
need
assessment
reports
identified
approximately
190
million
in
repairs.
We
receive
approximately
4
million
in
capital
funds
from
the
federal
government.
Apparently,
there's
a
need
for
affordable
housing
in
southern
nevada.
C
Nevada
has
the
greatest
shortage
among
states
in
the
nation
with
only
20
available,
affordable
housing
units
for
every
extremely
low
household
income.
79
percent
of
those
households
are
very
severely
cost
burdened
by
rent
because
of
the
affordable
housing
shortage.
Landlord
rents,
as
well
as
security
deposit,
has
increased
drastically.
C
C
Our
agency
has
the
experience
of
home
to
two
using
project-based
vouchers
to
maximize
and
leverage
these
funds
to
build
more
affordable
housing.
Currently,
we
have
projects
in
the
pipeline
that
could
potentially
benefit
from
all
of
these
funds
as
well.
We
also
have
approximately
52
acres
of
vacant
land
in
which
to
build
affordable
housing
throughout
the
valley.
C
Lastly,
I
believe,
with
the
support
of
our
board,
which
consists
of
county
commissioners
city
council
members
from
each
of
our
jurisdictions,
as
well
as
working
relationship
with
the
nevada
housing
division.
These
funds,
we
put
us
in
a
great
position
to
increase,
affordable
housing
in
the
region.
I
urge
you
to
approve
the
transfer
for
the
250
million
of
home.
Nevada
means
home
means
nevada
reserves.
Thank
you.
L
N
Good
morning
my
name
is
reverend
michael
willoughby
and
I'm
calling
this
morning.
I
had
prepared
remarks,
but
I'm
calling
this
morning
because
in
just
a
few
weeks
it'll
be
the
two-year
anniversary
of
my
family
being
hours
away
from
homelessness
after
a
domestic
violence
situation
and
share
brooks
and
vice
chair
carlton,
you
know
you
I
believe
are
familiar
with
me.
We
know
each
other.
I
call
in
here
regularly
and
appear
before
your
committees
and
testify.
N
N
N
N
H
D
County,
like
many
other
counties
in
nevada,
is
facing
critical
need
for
housing.
We
have
been
actively
working
on
our
housing
issues
for
several
years.
Through
this
process,
we've
identified
many
roadblocks
that
we're
trying
to
work
through.
I
wish
I
could
expand
on
these
obstacles,
but
it
would
take
much
longer
than
the
two
minutes.
I
have.
D
I
understand
this
funding
is
coveted
money.
One
example
we
have,
as
our
local
hospital
it
seems,
would
certainly
qualify
as
they've
been
on
the
front
lines
of
covid
for
the
last
two
and
a
half
years.
Their
staffing
levels
are
critical.
They
have
professionals
willing
to
move
and
work
in
white
pine
county,
but
seriously
there
are
absolutely
no
houses
or
apartments
available
in
our
community
we're.
We
have
professionals
trying
to
live
in
motels
and
in
some
cases,
camp
trailers.
D
D
We
have
completed
housing
needs
assessments
and
they
show
that
white
pine
county
critically
needs
a
minimum
of
300
apartment
units
and
100
single-family
homes.
One
of
the
nevada
recovers
priorities
listed
is
to
strengthen
secure
housing
for
all
nevadans
housing
is
an
essential
basic
need
that
only
not
is
only
vital
to
safety
and
health.
It's
critical
to
the
recovery
of
our
economy,
education
and
health
care.
D
H
H
What
we
are
seeing,
however,
is
difficulties
in
the
individuals
exiting
the
emergency
sheltering
into
any
form
of
transitional
or
supportive
housing
simply
because
it
doesn't
exist.
We're
asking
this
body
to
support
item
g118
to
invest
more
funds
into
this
critical
need
for
our
region.
The
item
on
our
on
the
agenda
today
allows
us
to
leverage
the
city's
federal
funding,
along
with
the
state,
to
get
more
projects
real
projects
over
the
finish
line.
H
It
really
is
an
opportunity
of
a
lifetime
to
make
a
monumental
change
across
the
state
we
at
the
city
of
reno
are
just
laser
focused
on
this
issue.
Increasing
the
number
of
available
housing
units
for
rent
at
affordable
rates
is
a
priority
providing
deposit
and
rental
assistance
to
more
than
2
600
households
to
date,
and
the
number
continues
to
grow
and
we
are
incentivizing
in
phil
through
reduced
development
costs,
land
contributions,
and
that
has
helped
to
create
467
new,
affordable
units.
We
are
making
progress,
but
the
need
is
still
immense
and
the
need
is
immediate.
H
H
H
The
affordable
housing
challenges
that
are
facing
southern
nevada
are
becoming
a
crisis,
one
that
is
too
big
for
any
one
city
or
agency
or
organization
to
adequately
address
and
our
residents.
Our
shared
constituents
are
suffering
increasingly
we're.
Having
many
people
come
to
our
housing
authority,
board
meetings
or
city
council
meetings
and
they're
just
pleading
to
us
to
do
something
about
rent
control.
H
That's
why
I'm
here
today
to
offer
my
support
for
item
g1
18.
That
would
make
the
first
allocation
of
funds
to
the
state
housing
division
to
support
the
home
means
nevada
initiative.
Focusing
that
level
of
funding
on
the
challenge
we
face
is
significant
and
make
no
mistake.
This
is
a
challenge
we
all
must
face
and
tackle
together
with
mayor
goodman's
leadership.
H
My
colleagues
and
I
on
the
city
council
have
dedicated
20
of
our
arp
funds
to
affordable
housing,
but
unless
we
work
together,
locally
and
regionally
and
now
with
the
state,
our
residents
won't
get
the
maximum
benefit
of
the
funding.
We
are
all
directing
toward
expanding
the
availability
of
affordable
housing
options
in
our
communities.

I
will
echo
the

thank

D
Good
morning,

my

is
marlene
lockhart,
representing
sdiu
and
the
nearly
13
000
home
care
workers
in

last

This
body
had
the
foresight
to
create
the
home
care,
employment
and
standards
board
to
address
the
critical
needs
and
recruitment
and
retention
of
these
essential

D
There

program
items
on
the
agenda
today,
accepting
federal,
arthur
dollars
designed
to
improve
the

worker
in

We
strongly
urge
your

Good,
please

dawson
owens,

e

d-a-w-s-o-n
owens
o-w-e-n-s.
I'm
grateful
to
serve
as
the
school
readiness
policy
director
for
the
children's
advocacy
alliance.
Thank
you
for
all
your
work
and
service,
especially
in
regards
to
the
students
in
the
great
state
of
nevada.
H
I
would
like
to
call
in
in
support
of
items
in
g2
listed
specifically
21
through
30.
Regarding
the
charter
school
authority.
We
believe
all
students
deserve
access
to
high
quality
schools
and
support
both
district
and
charter
schools,
which
are
public
entities
and
give
choice
and
options
for
education
to
some
of
our
most
underserved
individuals
at
the
children's
advocacy
alliance.
H
Our
role
is
to
advocate
for
those
living
in
poverty,
those
with
limited
english
language
acquisition,
those
navigating
disabilities,
those
impacted
by
the
juvenile
justice
system
and,
of
course,
all
nevada
children
we've
sent
in
written
testimony,
but
we'll
highlight
a
few
priorities
here.
Item
21
will
provide
access
for
nevada
students,
a
high
quality
pre-kindergarten,
which
is
a
foundational
for
student
future
success
and
provides
them
with
a
strong
start
in
skills
such
as
literacy,
social,
emotional
learning
and
early
education
in
general.
H
In
addition,
we
support
items
103
105
related
to
child
and
family
services.
These
services
are
necessary
to
provide
all
students
continuous
access
to
high
quality
education,
despite
being
housed
in
different
settings.
Their
education
must
be
continuous.
Finally,
from
the
g
list
g1
list,
we
support
item
24
related
to
the
governor's
office
of
science,
innovation
and
technology.
H
This
will
provide
equitable
access
for
our
students
across
nevada
to
broadband
services
and
projects
in
order
to
effectively
facilitate
education
learning
for
all
of
our
students.
Thank
you
for
all.
You
do
on
behalf
of
nevada
students
and
for
valuing
education
as
a
top
investment
and
priority
for
the
future
of
our
state.
N
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
This
is
cedric,
clear,
c-e-d-r-I-c,
c-r-e-a-r
and
members
of
the
committee.
I
serve
as
the
councilman
for
ward
5
in
the
city
of
las
vegas,
which
covers
the
historic
west
side,
and
my
constituents
in
ward
5
face
many
challenges,
which
is
why
I've
been
laser
focused
on
the
100
plan
in
action.
Since
I've
been
in
office,
there's
a
plan
that
has
been
consistently
addressing
the
most
pressing
and
persistent
issues
in
ward
5.
N
among
the
most
significant
challenges
is
affordable,
housing,
both
the
quantity
and
the
ever
increasing
cost,
and
in
fact,
throughout
the
city
and
southern
nevada
region.
Collectively
we
need
an
estimated
70
000
units
of
affordable
housing
right
now
and
that
number
will
continue
to
increase,
and
this
is
a
growing
crisis
and
I'm
here
to
offer
my
support
and
seek
yours
for
item
g118
that
seeks
the
first
allocation
of
funding
for
the
home
needs
of
ad
initiative.
N
This
funding
will
make
a
considerable
difference
in
the
regional
efforts
to
substantially
improve
access
to
affordable
housing
for
the
constituents
you
and
I
chair,
and
I
mentioned
regional
efforts,
because
this
issue
is
a
much
bigger
one
than
any
one
jurisdiction,
and
to
that
end
we
have
been
a
continually
working
with
our
colleagues
in
southern
nevada
to
ensure
we
are
stretching
every
single
dollar.
As
far
as
possible
announcement
diaz
mentioned,
we
from
the
city
council
have
dedicated
20
of
our
direct
are
for
funding
towards
affordable
housing
and
other
jurisdictions
that
follow
suit.
N
They
say
that
the
best
time
to
plant
a
tree
was
20
years
ago
and
the
next
best
time
to
plant
a
tree
is
today.
So
I
want
to
thank
you,
mr
chairman,
the
members
of
the
committee
governor
schusterlach,
for
your
thoughtful
consideration
of
the
support
initiative,
and
I
urge
you
to
support
it
today.
Thank
you.
H
Good
morning,
cheer
brooks
members
of
the
committee
nicole
rourke,
representing
the
city
of
henderson
henderson
enthusiastically
supports
the
allocation
of
500
million
to
the
home,
means
nevada
initiative
to
increase
and
preserve
the
supply
of
affordable
housing
in
nevada.
This
first
tranche
of
250
million
dollars
is
critical
to
fund
and
implement
projects
quickly
and
effectively.
H
The
city
adopted
its
housing
and
community
development
strategy
in
2020.
As
part
of
our
comprehensive
plan,
this
strategy
would
start
was
started
with
a
housing
market
study
performed
by
applied
analysis,
and
that
study
found
that
in
henderson
alone,
fifteen
thousand
households
spend
more
than
fifty
percent
of
their
income
on
housing.
H
This
forecast
also
showed
that
within
a
decade
all
household
income
groups
earning
less
than
a
hundred
thousand
per
year,
would
see
a
shortage
and
for
households
earning
less
than
50
000
per
year.
Over
75
percent
are
expected
to
struggle
to
find
affordable
housing
options
without
additional
market
intervention.
H
The
city
has
a
long
history
of
working
with
the
nevada,
housing
division
and
on
affordable
housing
efforts
through
a
variety
of
funding
sources.
We
strongly
support
allocating
the
funds
to
the
division
and
look
forward
to
our
continued
partnership
with
deputy
administrator
a
croft
and
his
team
to
implement
projects
and
make
progress
in
addressing
nevada's
housing
crisis.
Thank

E
The
governor
and
the
governor's
office,
our
state
faces
a
critical
shortage
of
affordable
housing,
as
our
state
builds
back
from
the
economic
effects
of
the
pandemic.
Teachers,
nurses,
police
officers
and
hospitality
workers
and
all
nevadans
deserve
to
live
in

Good
morning,
chair
brooks
vice
chair,
carlton
and
members
of
the
committee.
This
is
joanna
jacob
on
behalf
of
clark
county
in
support
of
item
g1.
Excuse
me
18
on
the
work
program.
Today
we
recognize
the
profound
and
pressing
need
for
affordable
housing
for
clark
county.
I
wanted
to
put
on
the
record.
I
know
commissioner
naft
and
commissioner
zuckerberg
intended
to
call
in
I
don't
know
if
they're
still
in
the
queue,
but
I
know
that
they
intended
to
call
in
in
support
of
this
item
as
well.
H
Earlier
this
week,
clark,
the
clark
county
board
of
county
commissioners
approved
160
million
towards
the
clark
county
community
housing
fund.
It's
intended
to
support
and
accelerate
the
development
of
affordable
and
workforce
housing
programs
in
southern
nevada,
and
considering
that
we
estimated
that
there's
approximately
86
000
housing
units
that
are
required
in
clark
county
to
meet
the
need
of
very
low
and
extremely
low
income
households.
In
addition,
homeownership,
as
you've
heard,
is
out
of
reach
for
very
low
to
moderate
income
households
due
to
rising
home
prices
in
our
community.
H
Many
of
those
impacted
are
on
fixed
incomes
in
jeopardy
of
becoming
chronically
homeless
or
our
minimum
wage
earners
providing
critical
services
to
the
community
and
upon
whom
our
local
economy
depends.
We
believe
that
these
county
efforts
will
go
hand
in
hand
with
the
efforts
of
our
state
housing
division,
and
we
want
to
thank
the
governor
administrator
across
the
state
housing
division
for
the
ongoing
collaboration
we've
had
and
we
commit
to
working
together
as
partners
on
this
allocation
and
programming
and
we're
asking
the
committee
for
your
support.
Thank
you
very
much.
H
H
I'm
the
ceo
for
the
rural
nevada
development
corporation
here
in
ely
sticking
to
item
g-118,
home
ownership
and
rehabilitation.
One
of
the
mechanisms
you
have
listed
is
down
payment
assistance.
We
currently
administer
a
dpa
program
funded
by
nevada,
housing
division
and
the
common
issue
we
have
is
the
maximum
purchase
price,
which
impedes
our
ability
to
help
two
examples.
In
white
pine
county,
the
purchase
price
cannot
exceed
170
000
and
in
elko
county
the
purchase
price
can't
exceed
238
000..
H
H
The
maximum
project
cost
per
home
is
30
000..
This
is
five
homes
that
we
can
rehab
within
16
counties
so
everywhere,
except
clark
county.
Our
current
waiting
list
is
more
than
three
years.
Applicants
often
pass
away
are
forced
into
terrible
situations
such
as
getting
unlicensed
work
done
and
making
things
worse
or
abandoning
the
home,
and
you
all
know
what
that
means.
We
often
see
that
in
rural
areas,
I've
respectfully
asked
that
you
reevaluate
the
allocation
and
earmark
funds
specifically
for
rural
areas
in
nevada
for
rehabilitation.
H
I
would
also
add,
as
a
white
pine
county
resident,
our
critical
housing
shortage
has
reached
an
all-time
high.
We
are
in
desperate
need
of
workforce
housing.
I
recognize
affordable
housing
is
also
important,
but
I'm
asking
the
committee
to
carve
out
a
portion
of
this
500
million
initiatives
to
address
the
crucial
need
for
workforce
housing
as
well.
Please
don't
leave
out
the
world
in
your
decisions
today.
Thank
you.

I
represent
the

also
I
have
the
privilege
of
sitting
as

on

board

I'm
actually
calling
in
from
rural
or
southeastern
idaho
here
for
my
daughter-in-law's
graduation,
I'm
in
hot
water
with

Because
of
the
awesome
comments
that
have
been
made
that
I've
listened
to.
N
So
I
won't
reiterate
other
than
I
support
fully
what
has
been
said
before
you
heard
mr
fred
herron
from
the
housing
authority,
as
well
as
my
colleague,
olivia
diaz
who's.
The
current
chair
of
the
huge
deficit
of
affordable

that
we
have
in

southern
in
particular
those
29,
000
plus
individuals
that
are
on
the
waiting
list,
are
more
than
a
number.
N
I
just
wanted
to
say
how
much
I
support
this
effort
of
allocating
250
million
dollars
to
the
homing's
nevada
initiative,
for
you
today
to
support
affordable
housing.
Like
fred
herron
said
we
have
in
sort
of
the
land
we
have
partners.
We
have
tremendous
opportunities
before
us
to
make
huge
inroads
in
bridging
the
gap
for
those
that
need
affordable
housing
and
I'm
excited
for
this
first
step.
Matthias
is
taking
today
or
hopefully
we'll
take
today
in
order
to
address
this
dire
situation.
So
thank
you
for
your
time
and
allowing
you
to
speak
and
go
rebels.
H
M
Hello,
can
you
hear
me.
M
Okay,
this
is
katherine
nielsen,
catherine
c-a-t-h-e-r-I-n-e
nielsen
n-I-e-l-s-e-n
and
I'm
the
executive
director
of
the
nevada,
governor's
council
on
developmental
disabilities.
I'm
going
to
make
this
super
brief.
I
echo.
M
Martinez
across
the
nation,
people
with
developmental
disabilities
face
a
severe
crisis
in
the
availability
of
decent,
safe,
affordable
and
accessible
housing.
Our
council
continues
to
promote
inclusion
for
people
with
developmental
disabilities
to
live
in
their
communities
and
guard
against
return
to
congregate
facilities
or
other
institutions.
M
N
I
am
the
president
and
chief
executive
officer
for
catholic
charities
in
southern
nevada
and
thank
you
for
your
your
patience
and
your
ability
to
hear
from
all
of
us
the
need
for
more
affordable
housing,
and
I
again
just
want
to
echo
my
support
for
g1
g1-18.
N
We
have
the
privilege
of
serving
tens
of
thousands
of
some
of
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
community.
That
often
are
the
silent
sufferers,
those
that
have
no
voice
in
our
society
in
our
throwaway
society.
Unfortunately,
they
often
get
pushed
aside.
N
We
are
prepared
working
with
partners
with
our
jurisdictions,
nevada,
housing
authority,
the
nevada
hand,
to
build
and
construct
permanent
supportive
housing
for
people
that
we
serve
often
when
they
come
into
our
facility
for
the
16
programs
and
services,
and
we
help
them
get
to
a
better
place.
They
fall
back
into
homelessness
because
they
have
nowhere
to
live.
N
You
will
see
the
results
of
that
on
our
streets
and
on
our
sidewalks.
The
other
reality
that
we
all
know
is
that
these
folks
end
up
being
the
largest
user
of
our
social
services
dollars,
including
the
legal
system.
So
this
recommendation,
that's
being
made
for
this,
spend,
I
believe,
is-
is
financially
and
physically
responsible,
and
it
also
creates
an
opportunity
for
all
of
us
to
take
care
of
some
of
the
most
vulnerable
of
god's
children.
Thank
you.
So
much.
H
H
I
am
a
mother
to
a
child
diagnosed
under
the
nevada
child
sign
program.
I
am
forever
grateful
that
these
services
were
available
to
us
and
will
continually
be
a
supporter
of
this
program.
Since
my
child
currently
utilizes
special
education
in
kindergarten,
I
will
always
be
doing
my
best
to
keep
him
caught
up
with
his
peers.
H
I
believe
that
nevada
can
provide
additional
opportunities
for
parents
to
seek
guidance
with
a
clinician
other
than
their
pediatrician,
who
has
limited
time
to
see
their
children.
I
ask
that
you,
please
consider
the
benefit
to
our
children
and
approve
this
funding
to
use
for
special
needs,
infants
and
toddlers
with
disabilities.
H
Good
afternoon,
chair
brooks
vice
chair
carlton
and
members
of
the
interim
finance
committee.
My
name
is
brooke
page
b-r-o-o-k-e
p-a-g-e
and
I
am
the
director
of
nevada
for
the
corporation
for
supportive
housing
or
csh,
as
well
as
a
member
of
the
advisory
committee
on
housing,
where
I
advocate
for
supportive
housing
for
our
state's
community
members
who
need
services
in
order
to
access
and
stay
stably
housed.
I'm
calling
in
support
of
g118.
H
Thank
you
to
the
governor
and
treasurer
for
a
historic
commitment
to
affordable
housing.
We
support
the
first
tranche
of
250
million
being
transferred
to
the
homeless
nevada
reserve.
I
would
like
to
echo
the
comments
that
have
been
made
from
sarah
adler
and
christine
hess
and
emily
paulson
regarding
the
important
need
to
prioritize
investment
for
affordable
housing
for
individuals
and
families
who
have
extremely
low
incomes
and
who
need
these
services
in
order
to
obtain
and
remain
stably
housed.
H
Our
state
really
needs
to
better
understand
the
need
for
this
population
for
each
jurisdiction
throughout
the
state
and
work
across
state
agencies,
local
jurisdictions,
to
leverage
resources,
coordinate
and
maximize
funding.
We
are
here
to
support
building
the
capacity
of
our
state
to
ensure
that
these
resources
go
to
the
people
that
need
them.
Thank
you
so
much
and
go
reb.
A
H
H
I'm
the
chief
policy
advisor
to
city
of
las
vegas,
councilman
brian
knutson,
chair,
I'm
also
a
rebel.
I
am
completing
my
doctorate
in
public
policy
at
unlv,
with
a
focus
on
affordable
housing
in
las
vegas,
and
the
latter
is
the
capacity
I
speak
to
you
from
today
in
support
of
item
g118
and
I'll,
be
very
brief.
First,
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
responding
to
the
needs
of
our
development
community
and
the
rising
demand
on
them
to
build
which
we
heard
from
today.
H
Second,
I
want
to
also
thank
you
for
supporting
students,
teachers,
firefighters
and
other
essential
workers,
workers
who
struggle
to
afford
a
home
or
rent
in
nevada.
The
number
of
the
struggling
is
growing,
and
we
also
heard
about
that
today.
Providing
affordable
housing
now
not
only
prevents
the
gap
from
growing.
It
will
also
save
the
government
from
being
relied
upon
to
provide
a
host
of
additional
wrap-around
services
down
the
line
which
deacon
tom
touched
on.
This
is
why
housing
is
one
of
the
key
social
determinants
of
health,
finally,
which
I
don't
think
we've
heard
about.
H
Yet,
when
tenants
are
spending
no
more
than
the
recommended
30
percent
of
their
income
on
housing,
more
of
their
annual
income
is
available
for
other
goods
and
services
that
benefit
governments
through
sales
tax.
That
and
all
the
impactful
reasons
we
heard
about
today,
is
why
this
important
investment
in
affordable
housing
is
ultimately
a
win-win,
and
that
is
why
support
of
this
item
is
critical.
Thank
you
again
for
allowing
me
time
to
speak.

we
would
like
to
thank
publicly
and
applaud
the
efforts
of
the
nevada
housing
coalition
under
miss
christine
hess's
leadership
and
the
recommendations
they
set
forth
to
the
governor's
office.
Affordable
housing
is
a
community-wide
problem
that
should
be
addressed
through
community-wide
revenue
streams.
N
Additional
funding
to
the
housing
division's
existing
programs
will
ensure
these
dollars
are
used
in
a
transparent,
efficient,
timely
manner
to
continue
to
make
housing
attainable
for
working
nevadans.
We
look
forward
to
continue
to
support
the
efforts
of
the
implementation
process
at
the
local
government
level,
identifying
affordable
housing
targets,
setting
up
land
trust
and
through
the
housing
divisions,

process,
so
affordable

projects
can
be
processed
as
quickly
as
possible.

you

your
time
today.

As
my
two

dawson
owens
stated,
children's
safety
and
welfare
is
important
for
the
in
the
state

and
so
we
support
item
43
and
hope
that
you
will
definitely
make
the
efforts
and
the
moves
to
ensure
that
the
funding
goes
towards
the
aging
and
disability
early

believe
that
this
is
a
vital
service
that
is

Item

and

of
american

plan
act.
A
Gronovite,
state
fiscal
recovery
fund
obligations
and
remaining
reserve
balances
within
the
covena
19
relief
programs
budget
account
my
new
favorite
agenda
item,
and
so
we
have
with
us
this
morning.
Mr
lizer
will
walk
the
committee
through
the
coronavirus.
The
statement
and
we
have
on
the
chair,
brooks
thank
you.
Mr
lizer
go
right
ahead.
F
All
right,
thank
you,
chair,
brooks
vice
chair
carlton
members
of
the
interim
finance
committee
for
the
record,
brodie
lizer,
with
the
fiscal
analysis
division
of
the
legislative
council
bureau.
I
am
here
today
to
present
agenda
item
e.
As
the
members
may
recall,
this
statement
was
first
presented
at
the
february
9th
meeting.
F
F
F
First,
there's
been
a
new
reserve
column
added
to
the
right
side
of
the
statement
to
reflect
the
500
million
dollars
for
the
home
means
nevada
initiative
for
affordable
housing,
as
discussed
by
the
governor
in
his
state
of
the
state
address
on
february
23rd,
as
well
as
being
referred
to
this
morning
during
public
comment
for
this
program.
Funding
for
this
program
will
be
discussed
when
agenda
item
g1
18
is
presented
to
the
committee
today,
which
recommends
to
allocate
250
million
dollars
to
the
housing
division
and
reserve
250
million
dollars
for
a
future
allocation
request.
F
The
second
update
to
the
statement
presentation
is
that
we've
moved
the
net
total
obligation
for
each
section
to
be
displayed
within
the
gray
boxes,
as
displayed
here
on
the
summary
page.
So
you
can
see
these
gray
boxes.
They'll
show
the
total
amounts
obligated
through
actions
of
the
81st
session,
the
total
obligations
authorized
under
the
authority
of
nrs
353
and
then
the
total
of
the
amounts
that
are
submitted
for
the
committee's
consideration
at
today's
meeting.
F
F
would
like
to
point
out
to
the
committee
and
members
of
the
public.
The
statement
was
finalized
before
we
finalized
the
order
of
the
agenda
so
at
the
top
of
page
176.
Here
it
references
agenda,
item
e1
and
e2
that
should
reflect
items
f1
and
f2
again
those
will
correspond
to
items
f1
and
f2,
not
e1
and
e2.
F
Finally,
I
would
like
to
draw
the
committee's
attention
to
pages
178
and
179,
which
provide
a
breakdown
statement
for
select
obligations
of
coronavirus,
state
fiscal
recovery
funds,
understanding
that
there
may
be
interest
in
where
and
when
certain
funding
was
obligated
and
which
was
not
clearly
delineated.
On
the
detailed
statement,
this
new
section
of
the
report
will
display
how
funding
for
the
following
obligations
has
been
allocated
and
so
it'll
break
down
the
54
million
dollars
that
was
approved
through
assembly
bill
484
for
the
department
of
employment,
training,
rehabilitation's
unemployment,
compensation
system.
F
As
the
statement
reflects,
the
entire
7.6
million
dollars
would
be
allocated
if
agenda
items.
G.131
and
g.141
are
approved
by
the
committee
today
and
the
fourth
item
that
we've
got
on
this
section
of
the
statement
is
an
item
that
will
be
presented
for
consideration
for
the
committee
today
and
that's
the
100
million
dollars.
That's
requested
to
be
set
aside
for
state
agencies.
F
I
would
note
that
there
are
five
allocations
requested
from
that
set
aside
at
today's
meeting
and
mr
chair.
I
do
need
to
point
out
an
error
in
the
description
of
the
final
item
under
this
section.
So
this
is
the
final
item
on
page
179
of
the
meeting
packet,
the
dollar
amount
of
55
thousand
one
hundred
and
twenty
three
dollars
is
correct.
F
F
A
A
All
right,
I
do
not
do
not
see
any
and
again
I
want
to
thank
you
for
for
this,
this
agenda
item
and
thank
you
for
the
format
and
the
evolving
format
of
this
report.
It
really
makes
it
very
easy
to
really
clearly
and
concisely,
see
where
monies
have
been
spent
are
allocated
and
kind
of
what's
left.
I
know
the
public
has
a
ton
of
questions
on
this
issue
and
this
particular
document,
I
think,
is
just
just
a
one:
stop
shop
to
be
able
to
figure
out
what
we've
done
and
what
we're
doing
so.
Thank
you.
A
So
we
don't
there.
No
action
is
required
on
this
particular
item.
So
we
can
move
on
to
the
next
agenda
item
and
thank
you
again,
mr
lizer,
and
that
brings
us
up
to
agenda
item
f,
and
this
is
a
informational
item,
they're
on
three
15-day,
expeditious
action,
work
programs
that
have
already
been
approved,
as
were
discussed
just
just
a
second
ago
and
shown
in
the
the
the
report
that
we
just
heard,
and
that
is
if
there
no
one
has
any
questions
on
those
particular
informational
items
on
those
particular
15
days.
A
K
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
chairman,
so
on
item
number
one,
the
transfer
of
the
over
eight
million
dollars
for
the
community-based
testing
and
and
the
call
center
we
have
seen
some
of
these
things
start
to
wrap
down.
So
I
would
request
in
the
future
if
we
could
have
some
follow-up
to
see
where
we
actually
stand
on
that
to
provide
that
information
to
the
committee
in
one
of
our
future
information
items.
K
A
A
No
action
is
required
on
that,
and
so
we
can
move
on
to
the
next
agenda
item,
which
is
agenda,
item
g
and,
and
so
mr
thorley
is
going
to
go
over
all
the
work
programs
in
g
g,
one
and
g
two
and
the
info
items
as
well
on
agenda
item
o
list
o
or
excuse
me
list
o
and
on
the
ones
that
we
have
already
identified
internally,
that
we
wanted
to
pull
for
further
conversation,
discussion
and
questions,
and
this
is
the
time
where,
after
mr
thorley
goes
through
what
we've
we've
identified
you
if
members,
if
there
are
other
items
that
you
want
to
have
identified.
I
Chair,
I
will
begin
with
list
g1
and
I
will
pause
after
going
through
list
g1
and
turn
it
back
over
to
the
chair
so
that
he
can
ask
the
members
if
there's
any
other
items
just
to
avoid
confusion
between
g1
and
g2,
since
the
numbering
system
is,
is
similar.
So
on
beginning
on
g1
number
two
will
be
pulled
for
additional
discussion
and
it
will
be
heard
with
19
29,
41,
44
and
46.,
as
mr
leicester
mentioned.
Previously.
I
All
of
these
requests
relate
to
the
the
100
million
dollar
requested
set-aside
for
agency
requests.
A
Do
any
of
the
members
have
any
additional
items
under
g1
that
they
that
weren't
listed,
that
we
just
discussed
that
they
want
pulled
for
further
discussion.
I
And
then
60
1
through
66
will
all
be
heard
together.
So
that's
45
through
53
55
through
59
and
61
through
66.
I
Number
82
has
been
withdrawn.
The
withdrawal
request
was
received
on
april
5th,
which
was
after
the
gen.
The
agenda
had
already
been
posted,
so
that's
not
reflected
in
your
list,
but
number
82
has
been
withdrawn.
I
A
Oh
okay,
we
are
still
reviewing
them,
but
I
wanna
add
g1.
Excuse
me
g2
item
one
and
I
like
that
to
be
heard
with
g1
item
24,
I
believe
they're
both
o
set
around
the
broadband
plan,
and
this
and
so
they're
related.
A
So
most
that
can
kind
of
address
both
of
those
at
the
same
time
have
a
few
questions
and
so
we'll
just
kind
of
pause
just
for
a
minute
here,
while
some
of
the
members
are
digesting
which
some
of
the
the
list
and
and
see
if
there's
anything
that
needs
to
be
pulled.
A
So
now
that
we
kind
of
have
seen
what
public
comment
looked
like
and
what
the
pace
of
our
meeting
is
going
to
be
and
our
stomachs
are
growling,
I
think
that
it
makes
the
most
sense
to
me
to
get
through
items
or
the
first
batch
of
g1,
which
would
be
2,
19,
29,
41,
44
and
46,
and
then
the
second.
A
And
then
g18,
which
is
what
a
lot
of
folks
have
a
lot
of
interest
in
here
today
and
then
I
think
that
would
be
a
good
breaking
point
to
take
lunch.
And
so
again
that's
the
g.
One
2
g1
items,
2
19,
29,
41,
44
and
46,
which
are
well
not
being
heard
together
from
an
agency
standpoint,
are,
are
being
heard
because
it's
from
the
same
move
of
money
and
then
and
then
g
18,
which
is
the
home,
means
nevada
and
then
we'll
break
for
lunch.
A
J
Thank
you,
chair
g-16,.
A
So
I
think
we
can
hear
that
chronological
or
you
know
in
in
chronological
order
right
before
18.
right.
Oh
no,
because
that's
g1
excuse
me
after
launch
any
others
on
g2
all
right,
mr
thorley,
do
we
have
any
other
items?
I
guess
it
would
be
item
this.
Is
this
the
appropriate
time
to
pull
informational
items.
I
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
on
list
o,
which
is
the
informational
item
list.
I
There
are
three
items
that
have
been
identified
to
be
have
a
discussion
on
number
six
department
of
tourism
and
cultural
affairs
number
eight
department
of
employment,
training
and
rehabilitation.
I
Number
eight
will
be
heard
with
agenda
item
i1,
which
is
a
contingency
account
request
from
dieter
and
then.
Lastly,
on
list
o
number
item,
10
b,
which
will
be
heard
jointly
with
agenda
item
g
dot,
2
dot,
114
and
that's
it
for
listo.
A
Could
you,
mr
thorley,
could
you
repeat
the
the
informational
item.
A
Thank
you,
mr
thorley.
These
agendas
are
getting
kind
of
kind
of
thick
and
confusing
and
complicated
yeah.
So
do
we
have
any
other
informational
items
from
any
other
members
of
the
committee
that
assemblywoman
titus.
P
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
would
request
that
we
go
back
up
to
l
and
I'd
like
to
hear
l1.
A
A
K
A
I
have
a
motion
from
vice
chair
carlton
and
a
second
from
senator
dennis
any
discussion
on
that
motion.
A
G
Mr
chairman,
I
think
that's
my
item,
the
item
that
I'm
speaking
on,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I.
A
Chief
of
staff
kinsella,
I
did
not
see
you
up
there
until
just
now.
So
thank
you.
That
is
your
item
and
you
can
you
can
kind
of
start
with
g2
and
and
spell
out
what
what
all
of
these
mean
and
before
we
go
into
the
individual
work
programs.
M
G
Also
see
director
ott,
so
I
I
thought.
A
A
G
I'm
gonna
stand
down
and
will
be
ready
when
my
agenda
item
is
called.
I
apologize
for
the
confusion
and
really
appreciate
the.
G
J
D
G
Good
morning
or
good
afternoon,
bailey
bortel
and
deputy
chief
of
staff
to
governor
siselek.
So
what
we
are
doing
here
is
moving
from
the
governor's
finance
office,
we're
earmarking
100
million
so
that
there
is
one
work
program
from
the
gfo
as
companion
items
as
you'll
see
many
of
these
arp
programs,
they're
companion
items
where
we've
sent
forward
two
work
programs
for
every
one
item.
This
will
allow
that
money
to
be
earmarked
by
the
governor's
finance
office
and
then
each
companion
work
program
will
come
forward
either
today
or
at
a
later
ifc
meeting.
G
G
We
do
anticipate
lcb
items
attorney
general's
office
items,
nevada
supreme
court
items
to
also
come
from
that
dollar
amount,
and
so
we
have
been
working
diligently
through
all
of
the
needs
and
requests
of
those
agencies
and
believe
that
we
are
in
that
ballpark
and
that
we
can
start
making
those
allocations
of
needs
from
arp
dollars.
But
nothing
will
be
allocated
without
the
specific
items
coming
before
you
with
an
explanation.
A
Any
other
questions
on
this
particular
kind
of
process
from
members
of
the
committee
senator
harris.
Did
you
have
a
question
on
this
or
on
one
of
the
the
the
individual
work
programs?
D
Mike
not
speak,
okay,
so
can
you
tell
me
a
little
bit
about
how
the
recommendations
for
the
allocation
of
100
million
dollars
is
going
to
support
programs
in
the
short
term?
So
we
know
consultants,
work
isn't
going
due
to
be
done
until
about
january
of
2024
was
the
state
doing
in
the
meantime.
A
I
think
that's
specific
to
the
work
program,
one
of
the
five
work
programs
that
were
underneath
it
and
we
can
probably
just
hold
that
until
that
work
program
is
discussed
or
you
know
gone
through
my.
A
No
no
problem.
This
is
this
is
a
very
complicated
agenda
today,
and
so
I
think
that's
gonna
happen
several
times
through
the
course
of
the
day.
At
least
I'm
gonna
do
it.
We
have
a
senator
gokuchi.
C
G
Bailey
bordelin
for
the
record
tiffany
can
speak
to
that
as
well.
I
would
note
that
director,
susan
brown
of
the
gfo,
is
out
today
because
her
son
is
getting
married,
so
we
are
happy
that
she
is
not
with
us,
but
she
is
also
very
crucial
in
this
process
that
we
have
gone
through.
It
is
around
the
number
that
we
believe
we
will
be
bringing
forward
for
state
government
agencies.
G
So
it
simply
allows
the
governor's
finance
office
to
say
we're
doing
the
work.
We're
undertaking
the
analysis
of
all
of
these
programs.
It's
a
lot
of
looking
at
what
each
agency
put
forward
and
saying
is
that
more
appropriate
as
a
govrec
budget
request,
or
is
that
a
short-term
american
rescue
plan
request?
Does
it
fit
under
the
rules?
Is
it
sustainable?
G
We
are
doing
that
on
each
and
every
item
that
we
are
bringing
you,
but
this
allows
the
governor's
finance
office
to
submit
one
work
program
from
their
end
so
that
they
don't
have
to
undertake
the
work
of
submitting
the
hundreds
of
work
programs
that
will
come
before
you
simply
as
a
resource
issue,
not
that
they
are
not
looking
at
it
and
working
with
the
agencies,
and
they
will
have
eyes
on
it
before
the
agency
work
program
is
also
agendized.
For
you.
C
I
think
I
understand,
but
again
I'm
still
not
real,
clear.
Okay,
we
know
yeah,
that's
fine,
we're
going
to
set
apart
aside
this
part
of
100
million
dollars
to
backfill
these
agencies
to
do
the
work
that
clearly
is
going
to
be
required.
We
understand
that
I,
I
guess
you
know
just
moving
forward
you're,
going
to
bring
it
to
ifc
and
okay
you're
going
to
come
here,
you're
going
to
ask
for
well.
We
need
this
many
positions,
this
much
money
to
cover
it.
Okay,
that's
a
given.
C
We
approve
it
just
very
similar
to
what
we're
going
to
do
on
on
18
and
I
and
yet
we're
coming
right
back
here
and
asking
for
approval,
which
I
think
is
the
way
it
should
be.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
I
can.
I
can
go
there.
You
know
as
long
as
I
think
it's
our
duty
in
this
body
and
ifc
to
approve
these
expenditures.
So
thank
you.
K
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
chairman,
and
I
have
to
tell
you
I
really
like
the
way
this
one
is
laid
out.
I
mean
extraordinary
times
means
we
need
to
do
some
extraordinary
things.
I
mean
if
this
had
been
a
regular
interim.
I
would
probably
not
be
very
comfortable
with
this,
but
knowing
what
our
staff
has
to
go
through
every
time
we
try
to
match
all
these
up
and
what
the
governor's
staff
is
trying
to
go
to.
K
Basically
we're
allowing
one
picture
of
a
hundred
million
dollars
and
we're
going
to
have
multiple
catchers
of
all
those
dollars,
those
work
programs,
all
those
catchers
will
be
coming
to
ifc,
so
we
will
be
able
to
review
them
and
and
hold
them
accountable.
So
I
appreciate
what
they're
doing.
I
hope
we're
only
going
to
do
this
once
in
history.
K
So
I
I
want
to
congratulate
miss
brown
and
whoever
thought
of
this
one.
It
is
a
unique
time
in
our
in
our
state
to
be
able
to
try
to
address
all
the
needs
that
are
in
our
state
at
the
appropriate
time
frame.
So
thank
you.
Miss
brown
and
miss
greenmeyer
and
and
miss
bortland
for
trying
to
figure
out
a
way
for
our
staff
to
be
able
to
sift
through
all
this
also.
Thank
you.
P
P
E
E
M
A
A
All
right
great
so
appreciate
that,
and
it
is
I
I'll
you
know
echo
what
vice
chair.
Carlton
said.
This
is
a
elegant
way
to
reduce
administrative
work
in
the
office
of
finance,
but
retaining
all
of
the
legislature's
responsible
roles
and
responsibilities
for
looking
at
the
individual
work
programs
and
approving
them
or
not,
and
so
I
think
that
I
I
think
this
is
great
and
I
think
it
could
be
replicated
maybe
even
later
today.
A
So
I
would
like
to
move
on
then,
because
well
do
we
have
to
take
action
on
on
to
work
program
two
before
we
go
on,
or
can
we
take
them
all
together?.
A
I'm
gonna
take
them
all
together
because
you
know
I
might
regret
that
decision.
But
if,
if
you
know
there's
any
issues
with
one
of
them,
we
can
pull
it
out
and
do
a
separate
vote,
but
I'm
going
to
take
them
all
together,
so
we
can
move
on
then
to
what
would
be.
I
guess
I
think
we're
going
to
start
with
29
right.
Oh
no
excuse.
A
Yeah,
so
what
I
think
I'll
do
is
is
we
had
as
part
of
this,
we
had
a
work
program
from
the
office
of
the
governor
where
program
22frf1003.
A
That
I
we
didn't
pull
but
we'll
be
taken
together
with
we
didn't,
have
any
discussion,
but
we'll
be
taken
together
with
this.
So
if
anyone
has
anything
on
that
work
program
that
they
would
like
to
hear
from
the
office
of
the
governor,
now
would
be
the
time
to
speak
up.
Otherwise,
I'll
move
on
to
the
next
work
program
go
go
ahead.
Assemblyman
titus.
P
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
just
for
clarification,
so
I
know
there
was
already
a
question
asked
by
senator
harris
regarding
g1.29.
P
Her
question
was
about
the:
how
are
they
going
to
the
timeline
and
the
consultants?
I
think
that's
something
that
she
asked
and
I'm
not
sure
we
had
an
answer
to
that,
because
I
I
have
some
concerns
about
g1.29
and
this
whole
program,
this
particular
program,
which
is
next
in
line.
I
think
that
that
you
pulled
together
with
two
and
I
don't
know
if
we're
going
to
go
to
19.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
don't
miss
concerns
about
g
1.29.
A
A
Overlap
and
some
grouping
together
and
stuff
so
but
yeah
we
will
definitely
get
there
so
and
so
we
had
from
the
office.
The
governor
worked
the
first
work
program,
two
two
f:
r,
f,
one:
zero,
zero,
three
and
then
from
the
office
and
that's
item
two
and
then
item
19
from
the
office
of
the
governor
is
work
program.
Two
two
fr
2
fr132733,
which
needs
to
be
taken
together
with
all
of
these.
But
I
didn't
have
any
questions
or
comments
on
that.
A
A
M
H
The
the
lucky
recipient
of
my
handoff
is
going
to
be
either
administrator,
frank
richardson,
and
I
don't
know
if
he's
in
the
room
or,
if
he's
on
zoom,
as
well
as
daniel
marlow,
the
administrator
of
the
administrative
services
division.
Who
will
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
what
this
work
program
is
designed
to
do
to
improve
our
staffing
situation,
which,
as
you
all
know,
is
fairly
dire?
So
with
that
I
will
hand
it
off
to
somebody
who
can
probably
hear
you
you'll,
probably
be
able
to
hear
better.
L
Good
morning,
chair
brooks,
and
vice
chair,
carlton
members
of
the
committee.
I
think
I'll
start
by
the
way,
for
the
record.
My
name
is
frank:
richardson,
I'm
the
administrator
of
the
division
of
human
resource
management,
I'd
like
to
start
by
handing
it
off
to
daniel
marlowe,
first,
the
administrator
of
asd,
to
give
you
that
overview,
and
then
I
will
be
available
for
questions
and
can
provide
further
information.
F
F
A
D
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
In
short,
I
was
just
wondering
if
you
could
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
what
the
state's
plan
is
to
work
on
training
and
retention.
In
the
meantime
between
time,
the
consultant's
work
being
completed
in
january
20,
20,
20,
24.
L
Okay,
thank
you
for
the
question.
For
the
record,
frank
richardson,
the
state
or,
I
should
say,
the
division
of
human
resource
management
has
engaged
in
many
programs
to
work
on
retention,
succession
planning
and
recruitment
over
the
past
nine
months.
Some
of
the
things
that
we're
rolling
out
that
you
may
have
seen
recently
include
succession
planning
emergency
regulations,
we're
working
on
an
apprenticeship
program
that
we
expect
to
roll
out
very
soon,
which
will
include
most
of
the
colleges
in
the
state
of
nevada
to
develop
a
career
pipeline
into
the
state.
L
L
They've
done
extensive
research
in
remote
work
programs,
and
so
we
have
a
lot
of
different
things
going
on,
but
we
also
don't
have
the
bandwidth
to
to
really
reach
out
and
dig
deep
into
some
of
the
career
pathways.
We
wanted
to
work
on
the
team,
concepting
onboarding
programs
and
the
clear
lines
to
succession
that
we'd
like
to
build
across
the
state.
D
D
P
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
ask
a
question
so
so
thank
you
for
presenting
today
and
recognizing
the
significant
dearth
of
state
employees
that
we
have
in
the
statement
that
that
was
submitted
with
this.
It's
to
address
challenges
in
recruiting
and
retaining
state
employees
in
nevada,
resulting
from
the
covet
19
pandemic.
P
We
prior
to
the
pandemic.
We
had
an
issue
retaining
state
employees
and
I'm
I'm
frustrated
by
this
program,
allocating
320
000
to
study
again,
why
we
don't
have
enough
state
employees
at
a
hundred
dollars
an
hour
that
we're
paying
the
consultant
to
do
yet.
P
Another
study
when,
when
you
just
spoke
and
said
that
you've
done
studies
on
for
our
state
employees
and
some
of
the
issues
there
and-
and
I
I
worry,
and
I
want
to
know
from
you
how
many
you
know
we
have
already
heard
we-
we
can't
pay
enough
to
our
state
police
officers
because
we're
not
paying
them
enough.
We
we
know
the
issues
and
then
having
another
study
when
we're
not
solving
issues
is
frustrating.
Finally,
a
question.
P
I
want
to
know
how
many
employees
left
the
state
of
nevada,
as
you
said
during
the
pandemic,
how
many
state
employees
did
we
lose
and
whether
they
left,
because
they
didn't
want
to
get
the
vaccine,
whether
they
left
because
of
the
the
extra
cost
to
their
health
insurance
or
whether
they
felt
that
they
didn't
fall,
want
to
follow
some
of
the
mandates?
That
happened?
How
many
did
we
lose
during
that
time?.
L
Okay,
thank
you
for
the
question,
frank
richardson,
for
the
record.
I
will
do
my
best
to
answer
that.
Yes,
as
we
have
done
some
studies
across
the
state,
we
understand
that
there
is
a
challenge
with
wages
and
benefits,
and
that
is
the
leading
factor
that
affects
most
employees,
leaving
to
go
to
another
job
somewhere.
So
we
recognize
that,
but
at
the
division
of
human
resource
management
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
control
over
wages
and
benefits.
L
What
we
can
control
is
what
we
work
on
here
within
the
state
when
we're
developing
a
stay
culture
we're
finding
career
pathways.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
the
new
work,
demographic
that
we
have
been
looking
at
is
engaged
and
highly
engaged,
and
they
appreciate
team
projects.
They
appreciate
more
involvement,
more
opportunity,
so
we've
been
looking
at
programs
like
that.
Our
challenge
is:
is
we
have
a
limited
staff,
we're
implementing
collective
bargaining
again
for
the
second
year
and
we're
also
working
on
success
factors
which
has
created
more
work
for
staff?
L
The
people,
the
staff
members
who
are
working
on
these
projects
volunteer
two
hours
every
two
weeks
to
put
together
these
studies
and
they
aren't
making
a
lot
of
headway
because
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
time.
So
what
we'd
really
like
to
look
at
are
the
things
that
we
can
change,
which
is
our
culture?
Are
we
meeting
with
our
staff?
Are
we
talking
about
staying?
Are
we
designing
a
career
plan
for
them
to
move
up
so
that
they
know
where
they're
going
and
highly
engaging
them?
L
L
There
was
a
very
small
study
done
by
an
outside
consultant
to
look
at
just
two
class
theories
and
we
think
we
need
to
look
at
them
all
in
one
piece
to
develop
these
career
progression
plans
so
that
we
have
a
stay
culture
and
we're
actually
moving
people
up
and
developing
succession
plan.
What
we've
seen-
and
you
mentioned
this-
and
this
is
a
good
question
over
the
last
year-
we've
seen
about
twice
as
many
people
leave
as
is
typical
in
a
normal
year.
L
We
don't
know
why
they're
leaving,
unless
they
self-report,
so
if
they're
self-reporting
and
some
of
them
have
it's
because
of
the
covet
policy
or
because
they
don't
want
to
test
or
or
whatever
it
is,
but
the
vast
majority
do
not
report
why
they're
leaving?
So
we
don't
know.
But
if
you
take
a
look
at
the
state
right
now
as
compared
to
back
in
2015,
we
have
a
24
vacancy
rate
across
the
state.
L
So,
what
we're
losing
is
institutional
knowledge
across
the
state,
the
ability
to
train
these
high-level
jobs
to
recruit
and
build
pathways
so
that
when
we
have
somebody
come
in
from
the
very
beginning
when
we
onboard
them,
they
move
through
this
process
and
become
successful
and
take
those
higher
level
jobs.
Without
that
we're
going
to
struggle
with
continuous
operations,
we're
going
to
lose
valuable
knowledge
and
the
inability
to
retain
staff.
P
Mr
chair,
so
so
thank
you
for
that.
So
what
I
heard
you
say
was
that
the
average
state
turnover
you
said
I
think
7.9
prior
to
the
pandemic,
we
would
lose
or
we
had
vacancy
7.9
vacancies.
I
think
that's
what
you
said
and
now
during
the
pandemic
we
now
have
or
since
the
pandemic,
we
now
have
a
24
vacancy
across
the
state.
H
And
this
is
laura
freed
for
the
record.
In
general
terms,
I
mean
it
varies
by
class
code.
Obviously.
H
Law
enforcement
class
codes,
some
healthcare
class
codes,
but
in
general
terms
the
graying
of
the
pan
of
the
workforce
was
a
problem
before
the
pandemic.
That's
gotten
worse,
because
people
are
choosing
to
retire
and
yet
we're
running
generally
at
about
a
20
overall
vacancy
rate.
So
what
that
means
is
you
know
in
20
of
the
state's
business
just
isn't
getting
done,
because
we
cannot
recruit
people
at
the
prices
we
can
pay
and
particularly
compared
to
our
local
peers.
H
So
you
know
I
just
want
to
underline
what
frank
had
said
about
you
know
digging
into
how
we
should
order
the
classified
pay
structure
and
how
we
should
organize.
Our
class
codes
is
a
huge
project
that
we
don't
have
the
staff
and
the
time
to
handle
and
that's
why
we
wanted
to
use
the
art
funds
for
this
consultant
to
do
the
work
that
we
just
don't
have
time
and
bandwidth
for
because,
like
every
other
department,
we
also
have
a
significant
vacancy.
P
Right,
so
not
to
believe
at
this
point,
because
it's
already
been
a
long
morning
and
now
in
in
the
afternoon,
but
again
I've
been
on
sitting
in
this
committee
for
four
four
terms
now
and
we've
always
had
a
staff
shortage,
we've
done
studies
to
improve
staff
shortage.
We
have
almost
100
increase
in
our
staff
shortage
from
where
we
started
when
I
first
started
in
the
session
in
2015,
and
then
on
that
interim
and
I'm
just
concerned
that
it's
truly
the
wrong
direction,
we're
going
and
that
we're
putting
money
into
this
again.
P
Yet
another
study-
and
I
have
huge
concerns
about
doing
yet
another
study
when,
when
both
of
you
have
made
comments
about
why
why
this
is,
and
so
I'm
concerned
that
we're
paying
a
hundred
dollars
an
hour
to
do
yet.
Another
study
to
already
tell
us
what
we
already
know
so
I
have
I
have
concerns
about
this
budget.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
I
think
I
have
a
question
from
assemblywoman
tolls
and
then
and
then
I
think
who's
next.
Oh,
mr
levitt,.
E
Thank
you
and
I
wasn't
going
to
ask
this
question,
but
just
as
a
follow-up
to
clarify,
if
I
may,
on
that
last
questions
that
were
asked,
did
I
understand
you
correctly
that.
H
I'll
let
this
story,
I'm
sorry
I'll.
Let
frank
follow
up.
Yes,
that
is
part
of
the
reason,
because,
as
frank
mentioned,
we've
been
spending
our
time
I
mean
we
have
the
normal
things
that
dhrm
does
from
from
day
to
day,
and
then
we
have
been
spending
time
on
the
smart,
21
erp
transition,
which
has
taken
up
a
whole
lot
of
staff
time.
So,
yes,
that
is
part
of
it,
and
we
also
just
like
everyone
else-
have
trouble
recruiting
folks
at
the
classified
pay
scale.
E
J
Is
not
just
for
public
sector,
but
I
was
just
curious
with
the
focus.
E
Group
meetings
that
you
had
have
you
posted
the
results
of
those
anywhere?
We
could
take
a
look
at
I
saw,
identified
and,
and
certainly
director
richardson.
You
pointed
out
that
the
wages
and
benefits
is
number
one,
but
additionally
other
out-of-date
regulations,
barriers
to
the
to
entry
into
the
workforce.
E
J
J
J
L
Thank
you
for
the
question,
frank
richardson,
for
the
record.
I
can
shed
a
little
light
on
that.
I
have
been
talking
to
some
of
the
directors
and
we're
working
with
the
shortage
of
dps
staff
members
and
as
we
look
at
recruitments
and
we're
reaching
out
to
the
department
of
defense
to
work
on
the
skills
bridge
program
which
will
provide
a
pathway
from
military
service
to
dps
service.
L
Once
that's
up
and
running,
we
realize
that
housing
is
a
real
challenge
and
we've
discussed.
How
are
we
going
to
address
housing
with
our
wages
because
most
of
the
officers
who
come
to
work
at
the
state
of
nevada,
particularly
in
northern
nevada,
won't
be
able
to
afford
to
rent
a
house,
and
so
we
thought
well.
L
Maybe
we
should
reach
out
and
see
if
we
can't
find
a
way
to
support
this
through
the
housing
authority
or
to
come
up
with
some
rental
options,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
challenges
to
recruitment
and
housing
and
inflation
is
certainly
one
of
them,
so
we
are
struggling
there
and
did
I
answer
your
other
question
too?
Oh,
I
apologize.
Let
me
keep
going.
I
recall
what
it
was.
We
do
have
some
surveys
that
I
can
share
with
the
committee.
A
L
Thank
you
for
that
question,
frank
richards,
for
frank
richardson
for
the
record.
Yes,
we
are
looking
at
that.
We
have
been
working
with
dhhs
with
some
of
their
occupational
license
positions
that
they're
struggling
to
fill.
We
understand
that
you
know
that
has
become
a
real
problem
for
them
nearing
crisis
because
they're
not
able
to
offer
services
to
everyone
who
needs
them,
because
we
don't
have
enough
staff
to
meet
those
needs.
So
we
are
working
diligently
on
that
too.
E
E
A
You
have
the
data,
that's
that
that
you
can
build
upon
to
improve
those
things
and
it
doesn't
seem
like
you're
getting
the
data
anyway,
so
spending
spending
time
to
do
a
study
on
saying
you
know
well
we're
not
getting
the
information,
it's
not
being
forthcoming,
and
so
we
don't
really
know
why
they're,
why
they're,
why
they're,
leaving
or
or
why
they?
Why?
They?
Why?
Why
we're
having
so
much
difficulty,
hiring
or
or
or
retaining
employees,
because
they're
not
being
forthcoming
with
the
information?
And
so
how
is?
A
How
is
the
study
even
going
to
be
effective?
It
seems,
like
you,
have
a
lot
of
data
already.
You
have
a
lot
of
answers
already
and
you
have
found
it
difficulty
improving
upon
the
information
that
you
have,
and
so
I
just
you
know
how
do
you
see
the
study
as
a
success,
because
it
is
a
great
deal
of
money.
A
I
mean
to
me
it's
a
great
deal
of
money,
and
so
what's
the
end
game
here,
when
we,
when
we've
done
studies
and
I'm
you
know,
I'm
kind
of
beating
beating
this
to
death,
but
I
just
I
just
feel
like
it's
without
the
data.
A
study
is
useless
and
without
implementation
of
previous
studies
and
effective
implementation.
A
Far
as
staff
goes,
that's
one
thing
but
doing
another
study
to
try
and
build
upon
previous
studies
just
seems
like
we're.
We're
kind
of
we're
it's
too
cyclical.
L
And
I
appreciate
that
question
and
thank
you.
I
would
like
to
to
answer
that.
We
are
really
eager
to
look
at
the
nacs
and
nrs's
that
are
impacting
our
ability
to
move
on
some
of
this
stuff
and
to
be
agile.
When
we're
trying
to
recruit
some
of
them
really
slow
us
down,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
they
align
with
whatever
the
best
practice
is,
as
some
of
you
may
have
heard,
even
success
factors
bumps
up
against
a
lot
of
our
nevada,
revised
statutes
and
nevada
administrative
code.
L
So
it's
not
possible
to
implement
some
of
the
programs
there
without
changing
those
regulations
and
possibly
the
nrs.
So
we
want
to
look
at
that.
There
are
also
class
specs
that
have
not
been
reviewed
for
over
four
decades
and
those
have
to
be
reviewed
too.
We
do
not
have
the
bandwidth
to
go
through
and
modernize
every
one
of
those
1170
classes.
We
need
help.
So
it's
not
just
about
the
information
that
we
have
when
people
are
leaving
or
why
they're
leaving
or
what's
causing
the
great
resignation.
A
L
Thank
you
for
the
question.
We
do
have
information
on
the
class
specs.
We
haven't
been
able
to
get
to
many
of
them
due
to
the
bandwidth
of
dhrm.
It's
not
a
large
division
and
we
certainly
have
our
challenges
going
forward
with
recruitment
with
success
factors,
as
I
mentioned,
and
with
collective
bargaining.
So,
while
some
of
that
information
is
out
there,
we
need
to
have
fresh
eyes
on
it.
L
But,
more
importantly,
we
want
it
to
align
with
this
overall
holistic
approach
to
career
pathways
and
to
building
succession
plans
and
finding
way
ways
to
develop
feeder
resources
from
the
college
into
the
state,
for
example,
apprenticeship,
programs
or
under
fills.
How
are
we
going
to
combine
all
of
this
stuff
and
put
it
together?
So
that's
the
data
that
we
do
have
and
we
need
help
fixing
with
regards
to
the
nrs's
and
the
nacs
the
regulations.
L
Many
of
those
certainly
could
be
considered
complex
to
the
average
person
reading
them,
and
so
even
in
our
state.
Sometimes
we
have
trouble
deciding
how
we're
going
to
apply
those
to
you
know
what
is
facing
us
today
as
we
try
to
recruit
and
and
bring
people
into
the
system,
and
we
think
some
of
them
are
challenging,
but
we
need
help
and
that's
what
this
study
is
for.
A
Thank
you,
mr
richardson,
and
do
you
have
a
question
right
on
this?
This
conversation
is
costing
more
than
the
work
program.
E
Thank
you
chair.
I
I
just
kind
of.
G
Want
to
plug
the
sb
209,
I
believe
it
is
covered,
19
response
study
and
some
of
the
work
that's
going.
E
On
there
regarding
impacts
to
workforces
across
the
state,
including
state
employees,
so
I
hope-
and
I
believe
you
guys
have
been
in
touch
with
the
folks
doing-
that
and
we're
working
together
on
those
so
just
to
clarify
phase
one
is
reviewing
the
nrs
so
that
you
can
propose
bills
that
will
fix
the
things
that
you
need
to
fix
before
the
next
legislative
session.
E
E
And
then
phase
three
is
pulling
together
all
of
the
changes
we've
done
to
the
the
nrs,
the
nac
codes.
That
would
then
be
updated
per
those
nrs
revisions
and
other
areas
that
you've
identified
we'd
have
that
plan
for
recruitment
and
retention,
and
then
we
would
be
looking
at
kind
of
a
wage
study
and
implementing
a
new
wage
classification
system
to
ensure
that
what
we
have
previously
committed
to
is
implemented
in
phase
three
okay.
So
this
is
an
implementation
program
that
you're
proposing
not
really
a
new
study.
A
A
I
appreciate
it,
mr
marlowe,
mr
richardson
and
and
director
freed
and
so
up
next,
we've
pulled
under
that
umbrella,
a
work
program
from,
and
it's
going
to
be
item
41
g1
41
from
the
department
of
agriculture,
commodity
foods,
distribution
program,
and
we
have
director
ott
with
us
this
morning
early
afternoon
to
talk
to
us
about
that,
and
so,
if
you
just
briefly
briefly
walk
through
what
that
work
program
is,
and
then
I
think
that
we
have
a
question.
M
Thank
you,
chairman
brooks
members
of
the
committee.
My
name
is
jennifer
rod,
I'm
the
director
for
the
department
of
agriculture.
I
am
the
capture
today
for
items
41,
44
and
46,
so
I'll
be
with
you.
If
there's
other
further
questions,
item
number
41
is
bringing
in
funding
to
the
department
of
agriculture.
M
Address
a
lot
of
the
feedback
that
we've
received
from
our
food
bank,
food
pantry
partners
who
have
really
communicated
the
needs
of
needing
help
with
infrastructure
needing
help
with
transportation
needing
help
expanding
their
services.
A
All
right,
thank
you.
So
do
we
have
any
questions
on
item
41,
44
and
46.
and
vice
chair
carlton?
Please
go
ahead.
K
Thank
you
very
much,
and
and
thank
you
director
otten
thank
you
for
taking
the
time
for
the
phone
conversations
that
we've
had
and
in
the
interest
of
full
disclosure.
I
think
everybody
knows
that
the
thing
I
wasn't
planning
on
doing
as
I
started
to
look
towards
retirement
was
run
a
food
pantry.
So
I've
learned
a
lot
in
the
last
couple
of
years,
especially
what's
going
on
so
so
I'm
really
curious
and
in
our
last
conversation
this
hadn't
been
totally
hashed
out
yet.
But
what
are
some
of
the
criteria
going
to
be?
K
As
far
as
how
some
of
these
sub
grants
are
going
to
be
given
out?
I'm
hoping
it's
on
a
disbursement
basis,
not
a
reimbursement,
because
it's
very
tough
for
smaller
entities
that
run
food
pantries
to
spend
the
money
and
then
have
to
wait
to
be
reimbursed.
So
I'm
just
putting
a
plug
in
for
that,
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
adding
in
all
the
other
things
that
go
along
with
it.
K
It's
great
to
be
able
to
give
out
food,
but
if
I
don't
have
a
truck
driver
to
get
it
to
the
pantry
or
refrigeration
to
be
able
to
keep
it
fresh,
it
makes
it
even
more
difficult
job.
So
if
you
could
kind
of
go
through
some
of
the
criteria
on
how
these
are
going
to
be
sub
granted
out,
that
would
be
very
helpful.
M
Thank
you
so
much
jennifer
ott
for
the
record.
I
appreciate
your
comments.
Chairwoman.
Thank
you
so
much.
The
criteria
frankly,
is
going
to
be
based.
M
On
a
treasury
view,
much
from
that,
there
is
some
very
clear
treasury
guidance
regarding
food
distribution.
There
we're
looking
at
organizations
that
have
been
on
operation
for
two
years
and
more
we're
not
putting
a
lot
of
bumpers
on
the
infrastructure.
Like
I
said,
we
want
to
hear
the
ideas.
We
really
want
to
create
a
good
food
system
moving
forward
so
that
we
can
utilize
further
funding
were
so
so
the
transportation
portion
that
you're
looking
at
can
be
addressed.
M
Certainly
some
of
the
criteria
is
that
we
have
to
ensure
that
there's
a
self-certification
on
using
other
arpa
funds
from
other
entities
so
that
we
can
ensure
and
make
sure
that
we're
answering
to
our
auditors
that
we're
not
you
know,
duplicating
efforts,
and
I
don't
know
if
that
specifically
answered
your
question
or
your
concerns.
I'm
happy
to.
K
The
only
thing
I
would
ask
you
to,
and
I
believe
oh
you're-
not
frozen
good,
you
froze
for
a
second
there.
The
only
thing
I
ask
you
to
expand
on
is
how
many
entities
do
you
think
you'll
be
working
with
in
the
future?
Do
you
have
a
ballpark
of
how
many
folks,
you
think
might
be
applying
for
this
at.
M
K
And
thank
you
and
if
you
would
just
please
consider
that
disbursement,
because
a
lot
of
folks
don't
have
the
reserves,
especially
after
these
long
two
years
of
being
able
to
help
folks,
you
would
usually
pull
down
your
reserves.
You
would
spend
it
then
get
reimbursed
by
the
state.
A
lot
of
folks
don't
have
those
reserves
any
longer
so
for
smaller
entities.
I'd
hope
you
would
consider
that
to
make
sure
that
they
can
keep
serving
their
population.
Thank
you.
A
All
right,
while
we
have
you
director,
ott,
let's
talk
about
g146.
A
A
And
we
might
have
lost
director
ott,
but
maybe
you
can
help
us
out.
Mr
ferris.
F
Yes,
mr
chairman,
for
the
record
hub
ferris
I
can
try
to
assist
while
director
odd
is
logging
back
in.
If
I
can.
A
M
I
I
apologize
chairman.
I
I
think
that
my
internet
has
decided
to
rebel
against
the
meeting.
I
apologize.
A
It
sounds
like
you
were
underserved
by
broadband,
so
I
yeah.
If
you
could
talk
about
item
46
and
the
meat
inspection
program.
M
Of
course,
again,
apologies
jennifer
opt
for
the
record.
The
the
work
program
here
in
front
of
you
for
item
46
is
to
help
the
department
establish
our
meat
inspection
program
and
also
support
to
the
industry
to
improve
the
supply
chain
in
nevada,
as
you're
all
aware,
and
have
heard
on
the
news.
I'm
sure
that
the
supply
chain,
especially
for
proteins
like
beef
and
chicken,
have
been
very
hard
to
come
by
and
it
was
only
made
worse
by
the
pandemic.
M
This
is
the
department's
effort
to
not
only
support
those
industries
but
offer
an
inspection
program
within
the
state
of
nevada
in
order
to
offer
state-inspected
meat
and
to
be
sold
within
the
state
of
nevada
to
really
set
us
up
again.
All
of
our
work
programs
are
to
really
set
us
up
for
the
future
and
to
build
a
stronger
food
system
and
address
some
of
those
supply
chain
problems.
A
C
Mr
chair,
good
afternoon,
55
000
we're
talking
a
part-time
employee.
I
assume
they're
just
going
to
trying
to
coordinate,
and
you
know
you're
not
even
going
to
have
hire
a
halftime
inspector
for
that
or
a
quarter
time.
Maybe
so
is
this
person
just
going
to
be
part
time?
What
are
they
going
to
be
doing
the
rest
of
the
time
and
and
again
this
part
time
they're
just
going
to
be
trying
to
coordinate
and
put
it
together
and
see
what
the
requirements
are
or
what
we
come
up
with.
M
That
jennifer
ought
for
the
record.
I
couldn't
agree
with
more
with
you
senator
this
is
our
fiscal
22
request,
so
this
is
just
for
the
hiring.
M
Up
a
project
manager
to
begin
that
program,
this
session,
and
so
we'll
we'll
have
in
a
future
ifc
a
fiscal
23
request
that
will
round
out
the
program.
So
you'll
see
more
of
that.
There.
C
M
C
Okay,
that's
very
good,
and
the
only
thing
I
have
on
that
again
is
we're
looking
at
it.
Let's
make
sure
we
don't
just
get
focused
at
interstate,
where
we
can
only
ship
in
state.
We
need
federal
inspectors.
A
P
Chair
so,
and
thank
you
director
odd,
I
for
one
who've
had
trouble
trying
to
find
a
place
to
send
some
of
my
animals
to
slaughter
that
I
won't
go
into
other
details
of
how
we
finally
got
it
done.
But
here
here's
what
my
concern
is:
have
you
reached
out
to
the
processing
facilities
and
are
they
agreed
cause?
P
This
is
gonna
in
order
for
this
to
be
sustainable
and
not
required
general
fund
at
the
end
of
the
day,
you're
to
ask
them
to
pay
for
so
it's
going
to
be
something
that's
self-funded
and
so
have
other
processing
facilities
agreed
to
this,
because
what
I
understand
there's
like
35
processing
facilities,
but
only
two
actual
harvest
facilities.
So
can
you
explain
what
the
communication
was
there.
M
Of
course,
for
the
record
jennifer
and
again
I
apologize
for
turning
off
my
camera,
but
I
want
you
to
be
able
to
hear
me.
Yes,
we've
had
conversations
with
the
industry.
We
had
a
meeting
in
december
to
gather
ideas.
This
idea
has
certainly
been
very
well
received.
We
have
not
received
frankly,
hardly
any-
and
I
can't
think
of
any,
although
I'm
sure
there's
somebody
out
there
that
have
not
heard
any
resistance
to
this
path
forward
and
and
this
opportunity,
the
funding
for
this
again.
M
This
is
sort
of
start-up
funds
to
get
this
going
to
address
the
supply
chain,
but
we
intend
this
to
be
a
long-term
program
again.
Building
on
the
future
usda
for
state
inspection
programs
covers
50
of
the
cost
for
state
inspection
programs,
and
so
once
we
can
assist
the
industry
work
with
processors
and
and
get
some
of
those
businesses
off
the
ground.
M
At
that
point,
when
we
are
looking
at
regulation
for
a
long-term
program,
we
can
look
at
the
costs
and
make
sure
that
we
are,
you
know
doing
this
in
the
right
way.
Basically,
a
follow-up,
mr.
P
Chair
so
so,
if
we
do
this
and
move
this
forward,
have,
has
there
been
any
interest
for
other
facilities
to
to
be
a
harvest
facility?
Are
we
going
to
expand
the
number
of
facilities
that
we
have.
M
Absolutely-
and
that
is
a
goal
as
part
of
this
as
well-
is
that,
and
I
apologize
jennifer
opt
for
the
record.
This
is
a
goal
for
that,
as
well,
is
to
not
only
to
provide
opportunities
for
existing
facilities
to
expand,
but
also
to
assist
new
entities
that
want
to
to
open
up
and
develop,
especially
in
our
rural
areas
where
production
is
closer
and
those
trucking
miles
will
not
cost
producers
as
much
as
much
money
to
truck
out
of
state
like
we
do
now.
P
Right,
I
agree
just
the
shipping
cost
alone
on
the
loss
of
weight
of
the
the
animal
itself
before
it
slaughtered
them
back
to
the
state
for
processing
and
the
fuel.
All
of
that,
it
makes
sense.
I'm
just
concerned
that
we
have
that
process
that
we
truly
when
we
do
this
we'll
expand
the
number,
and
so
that's
a
good
thing.
My
final
question
is
so
we
can
use.
P
Everybody
goes
to
whatever
the
grocery
store
is,
whether
it's
costco
or
a
local
store,
and
you
get
that
usda
choice
inspected,
beef
or
whatever,
that
animal
product
that
you
get
so
now.
So
what
I
understand
this
is
just
going
to
be.
If
it's
state
inspected,
they
can
only
be
sold
in
the
state,
we'll
still
be
able
to
have
these
bigger
chains
purchase
this
these
products.
So
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
that.
M
Yes,
jennifer
ought
for
the
record
as
long
as
the
seller,
the
groceries
the
seller
is
in
the
state
of
nevada.
That
would
be
a
way
that
this
beef
or
chicken
or
other
protein
could
be
distributed
and
sold
as
long
as
it's
within
the
state
of
nevada
we're
good
to
go,
which
is
why
usda
also
funds
half
of
the
program
is
because
we
are
meeting
usda
standards,
we're
not
less
than
usda.
M
We
are
equal
on
a
food
safety
basis,
we're
just
less
expensive,
because
we
don't
have
to
travel
from
out
of
state
to
do
the
inspections,
great
and
last
question.
P
M
Jennifer
ought
for
the
record,
and
I
wish
that
I
could
tell
you
I
mean
I-
I
have
the
timeline
in
my
head-
that
I
wish,
but
of
course
that
depends
on
hiring,
which
I
you
know
based
on
the
last
conversation
that
you
know
is
difficult.
I,
unfortunately,
I
can't
control
all
factors,
but
I
know
that
this
is
really
important
for
the
industry
and
we
really
want
to
move
this
forward.
The
funding
in
front
of
you
today
is
for
the
project
manager.
M
That
is
the
person
that
will
be
the
champion
of
moving
this
board
for
the
department.
I
I
can.
You
know
also
say
that
part
of
the
reason
why
we're
bringing
this
forward
to
you
today
is
because
there
is
significant
funding
available
from
usda
for
the
assistance
and
development
of
processing
facilities,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
again
to
capitalize
on
that
funding.
Now
why
it's
available
it
seems
like
once
in
a
lifetime
funding,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
we
bring
that
into
nevada.
M
So
we
are
trying
to
move
on
this
pretty
quickly,
but
it
also
you
know
it
depends
on
staffing
sure.
A
Thank
you
for
the
questions
assemblywoman.
I
don't
do.
We
have
any
other
questions
on
this
item
on
item
46.
Okay,
so
we
at
the
beginning
of
the
this
agenda
item
g.
We
I
asked
if
we
could
take
these
together
and
I'm
I'm
looking
for
a
motion
on
on
all
of
these,
which
would
be
g1,
2,
19,
29,
41,
44
and
46,
and
if
anyone
has
an
issue
with
that
motion
and
would
want
to
hear
any
of
those
pulled
out
separately
for
a
vote.
A
Okay,
great
so
I'll
I'll
go
since
we
earlier
on,
I
stated
we
would
take
them
in
this
together
and
grouped
in
that
order
I'll
go
with
29
first,
and
so,
if,
if
I
could
get
a
motion
on
item
29,
please.
K
Mr
chairman,
I'd
be
happy
to
do
that
for
you
and,
if
recollection
serves
me
correctly,
that
was
the
department
of
administration
division
of
human
resource
management.
I
believe
miss
peters
did
an
excellent
job
of
wrapping
it
up.
I
feel
much
more
comfortable
with
it
now,
so
I
would
move
for
approval
of
item
g
2129.
A
P
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
after
after
lots
of
discussion
on
this
item
probably
way
further
than
you
sorry,
after
lots
of
discussion
on
this
item
longer
than
you
anticipated,
I'm
sure
I'm
actually
going
to
support
it
with
the
understanding
that
there
is
actually
a
process
to
put
things
in
action.
Our
state
employees
have
been
decimated
by
this
pandemic
as
the
rest
of
our
state
is,
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
a
process
of
solutions,
just
not
study,
so
thank
you,
assemblyman
peters,
for
just
putting
that
in
order
there
that
I
can
get
behind
this.
P
A
Thank
you
any
other
discussion
on
that
motion
all
right
and
with
that
all
in
favor,
aye
aye
and
for
the
record
of
sibling.
Hafen
has
his
hand
up
and
he's
an
eye
any
opposed
all
right.
None
opposed
so
motion
passes
unanimously,
appreciate
that
and
we
can
move
on
to
item
g1,
19,
41,
44
and
46
and
two.
A
A
O
Thank
you,
chair
brooks.
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
comment.
I'm
going
to
support
this
motion,
but
in
part
because
it
was
made
clear
at
the
beginning
during
the
discussion
that
there's
going
to
be
a
lump
sum
of
money,
but
then
the
work
programs
are
all
going
to
come
back
individually,
so
ifc
is
remaining
retaining
its
accountability
for
each
item
under
this
process
that
we're
doing
here.
O
Right
now-
and
I
know
there
were
discussions
between
the
difference
between
item
18
and
19,
and
I
think
this
is
significantly
different-
there's
a
distinction
because
the
work
programs
will
be
coming
back
separately,
even
though
there's
a
oh,
you
know
the
100
million
dollars
that's
set
aside
for
these
programs,
so
I'm
going
to
be
supporting
this,
but
I
think
they're
distinctly
different.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
for
the
comment.
Senator
sivers
answered
any
other
comments
on
that
motion,
all
right,
all
in
favor,
aye
aye,
any
oppo,
oh
and
I
assemblyman
hayfin,
isn't
in
the
opposed.
A
G
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
bailey
bourdelin
for
the
record
deputy
chief
of
staff
to
governor
sislek.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
be
here
today
to
talk
about
the
home
means
nevada
initiative,
governor
sysolak's,
historic
investment
in
affordable
housing
in
nevada's
housing
needs
housing
could
not
be
a
higher
priority
for
the
governor.
G
We
heard
that
we
must
take
action
on
housing.
We
heard
from
teachers,
students,
families,
small
business
owners,
tribal
members.
The
feedback
was
universal,
much
of
which
I
think
you
heard
this
morning.
More
than
half
of
the
total
dollars
requested
were
for
housing,
investments
and
assistance.
What
you
have
before
you
today
is
a
result
of
those
conversations,
a
study
of
the
federal
treasury
rules
and
applicable
state
laws
and
the
expertise
of
the
subject
matter.
G
Experts
and
doers
in
this
space,
three
of
which
I
have
with
me
today
on
the
zoom
we
have
director
of
business
and
industries
terry
reynolds.
Next
to
me,
I
have
administrator
of
the
division
of
housing,
steve
acroth
and
also
on
the
zoom.
We
have
the
division's
chief
financial
officer,
michael
holliday.
G
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
use
this
opportunity
to
thank
them
for
their
willingness
to
take
on
this
additional
workload.
On
top
of
the
tremendous
work
they
are
already
doing
for
our
state.
They
have
worked
closely
with
us
and
the
community
to
ensure
that
this
plan
delivers
on
the
needs
of
the
state,
complies
with
all
of
the
rules
and
requirements
and
can
be
re
can
responsibly
occur,
occur
at
the
speed
necessary
to
expend
these
funds
under
the
federal
timeline.
With
that,
I
will
turn
it
over
to
our
team.
B
K
B
I'm
not
going
to
go.
I
had
a
whole
bunch
of
statistics
for
time,
I'm
going
to
not
mention
those
other
than
to
mention.
You
heard
a
number
of
those
today
in
public
comment
and
and
effectively
what's
happened,
is
we
don't
have
the
supply
of
homes
and
when
you
combine
that
lack
of
supply
with
increased
demands,
we're
seeing
the
escalation
of
home
prices
and
dramatic
rent
increases
which
have
been
making
headlines
all
over
the
state?
B
B
The
division
we're
not
blind
to
this,
with,
with
with
over
800
million
in
bonding
authority
provided
by
the
department
of
business
and
industry,
along
with
our
nine
percent
tax
credit
program,
we've
helped
to
create
and
preserve
over
6
400
units
of
affordable
housing
to
work
towards
increasing
that
supply
from
may
through
september
of
2021,
the
nevada
housing
division
participated
in
an
advisory
role
with
the
statewide
task
force,
convened
by
the
nevada
housing
coalition,
and
I
can't
thank
them
enough
for
their
work.
B
This
stakehold,
this
task
force
represented
public
and
private
sectors,
with
active
participation
by
nearly
70
stakeholders,
including
economic
development
agencies,
non-profits
advocates
developers,
builders,
healthcare
organizations
and
finance
representatives
in
concert
with
the
statewide
nevada,
recovers,
listening
tour,
spearheaded
by
the
governor's
office
and
the
state
treasurer
and
in
collaboration
with
the
local
jurisdictions,
who
are
also
using
fiscal
recovery
funds
for
affordable
housing.
We
have
a
unique
opportunity
for
the
nevada
for
nevada
to
help
address
this
affordable
housing
shortage
and
catalyze
efforts
to
grow
the
state's
affordable
housing
inventory.
B
B
Please
note:
this
is
not
associated
with
home
means
nevada,
inc,
the
non-profit,
established
by
the
department
of
in
business
and
industry,
which
deals
primarily
with
foreclosure
mediation.
We've
had
a
number
of
calls
just
over
the
past
couple
days.
In
those
regards
with
that
introduction,
I
can
go
over
the
four
components
of
the
plan
or
take
questions
whatever
the
chair
prefers.
A
Thank
you,
miss
borland,
mr
ashcroft.
I
have
several
questions
I
think
from
the
members,
and
so
I
I
think
on
just
kind
of
on
the
process
and
some
of
the
details
of
the
program.
I
think
the
first
one
I
have
is
from
assemblywoman
monroe,
moreno
and,
and
then
I
think,
assemblywoman.
How
did
he
had
a
few
as
well
and
then
miller?
K
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
I
think
mine
is
more
of
a
request
than
a
question.
You
know
we've
heard
about
the
first
two
three
hours
of
this
meeting,
the
community
stakeholders
within
the
community
personal
stories
of
how
this
is
a
vital
issue
in
our
community
housing.
It
was
an
issue
before
we
went
through
the
kova
pandemic.
K
It's
even
more
of
an
issue,
so
I'm
so
happy
that
we're
doing
this
today
and
there
were
comments
that
this
is
not
our
regular
way
of
handling
business,
but
we're
living
through
a
pandemic
that
we've
had
to
do
a
number
of
things
and
we
have
families
who
are
hurting,
but
because
we're
doing
this
in
a
way,
that's
not
normal.
For
our
process.
Here's
a
legislative
body
in
ifc.
I
think
it's
important
that
we
recognize
that
and
have
regular
status
reports
about
the
expenditures
that
home
means.
K
B
A
O
E
You
chair
nice,
to
see
you
dr
aycroft,
you
and
I
have
had
multiple
conversations
about
this.
E
All
of
my
questions,
I'm
very
excited
to
see
this
money
go
into
affordable
housing.
E
B
Sure,
thank
you
stevie
aykroth,
for
the
record.
B
Basically,
preservation
refers
to
homes
that
are
already
affordable
and
by
what
I
mean,
affordable
they're
in
our
tax
credit
program,
they're
they're-
they
they
have
that
they're
in
their
affordability
period,
which
is
typically
30
years,
we're
either
going
to
see
them
exit
at
the
end
of
that
30
years
or
depending
on
some
tax
credit
mechanisms
even
potentially
before
then,
and
so
what
we're
talking
about
preservation
is
to
keep
those
units
that
are
in
our
current
inventory
of
affordable
homes,
refresh
them
get
them
rehabbed
and
that
basically
involves
energy
efficiencies.
B
E
B
E
B
In
in
steve
across
in
theory
that
is
correct
in
reality,
that's
not!
They
won't
come
in
for
rehabilitation
until
about
18
or
20
years,
if
you
can
imagine
not
having
any
rehabilitation
on
your
own
home
for
30
years
and
not
maintaining
it
by
the
end
of
just
a
family
living
in
your
own
personal
home
at
the
end
of
30
years,
you're
going
to
have
a
whole
lot
of
deferred
maintenance.
So
typically
these
come
in
at
18
to
20
years
of
age
roughly,
and
then
we
would
provide
them
an
additional
30
years.
B
Stevie
croft
again,
thank
you
for
the
question
right
now.
We
actually
have
our
pre-application
process
drafted.
It's
been
submitted
to
both
the
governor's
office
and
the
governor's
finance
office
for
review.
We
hope
to
get
that
out
within
the
next
week
to
two
weeks.
E
Thank
you
and
if
I
could
share
one
last
question,
thank
you
director.
I
just
want
to
follow
up.
I
we
had
talked
a
little
bit
about
this
morning.
During
the
august
ifc
we
had
approved
the
first
10
for
the
homeowner
assistance
funds.
I
know
that
the
remainder
of
the
money
is
in
the
work
program
for
today,
but
is
there
an
update?
You
can
provide
on
how
the
the
nevada
homeowner
assistance
fund
is
going.
B
A
Thank
you
assuming
how
to
get.
I
think
I
have
a
question
from
dr
titus
and
and
assemblyman
watts
and
then
I'll
have
senator
seaver's
ganser
and
then
senator
gokuchi
and
miller
somewhere
in
there
too.
So
go
ahead.
P
You
thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thanks
thanks
for
the
presentation
and
as
we
heard
this
morning
during
public
comment,
this
whole
situation
is
is
drastic
in
our
state.
What
what
I
didn't
hear
today
that
affects
certainly
many
of
my
constituents
that
I've
been
hearing
from,
I
don't
see
anywhere
we're
covering
multi-family
construction,
multi-family,
preservation,
home
ownership
and
land
acquisition.
B
B
We
would
talk
to
nevada
rural
housing
authority
to
see
if
that's
been
implemented
out
in
the
rural
spaces,
but
that
is
an
eligible
use
of
of
the
rental
funds,
so
that
will
take
that
would
at
least
temporarily
take
care
of,
potentially,
if
they're,
if
they're
eligible
homeowners,
who
are
renting
that
space
that
would
actually
at
least
like
I
mentioned
temporarily,
help
them
in
that
situation.
B
Now,
from
their
homeowners
standpoint,
one
of
the
the
components
of
the
funding
is
the
30
million
for
homeowner
assistance,
and
then
they
would
be
eligible
for
improvements
to
their
house,
particularly
if
they're
tied
in
with
weatherization
and
and
some
other
things
that
can
be
done
and.
B
As
long
as
they
are
below
65
ami,
yes
and.
B
That's
the
coronavirus,
rental
assistance
program,
okay,.
P
Great
thank
you
for
that,
and
the
next
thing
I
had
question
I
have,
if
I
might
mr
chair
nevada,
is
I've
heard
several
times
that
nevada's
the
most
mobile
citizens
in
the
nation?
They
move
around
a
lot
so
in
these
programs.
If
somebody
accepts
some
of
this
money
to
fix
up
their
home
and
how
will
this
work?
This
is
about
a
30-year
programs.
We're
hearing
very
few
people
live
in
there.
I've
been
in
my
home
for
37
years,
but
that's
the
exception,
not
the
rule,
and
so
I'm
wondering
how
many?
B
So
stevie
croth
again
for
the
record,
the
the
monies
that
we're
talking
about
are
not
necessarily
going
to
go
directly
to
the
homeowner
or
the
tenant.
If
you
will
so
the
new
new
multi-family
construction
that
will
go
for
multi-family
rental
construction,
the
preservation
dollars
that
we
mentioned
would
go
again
to
the
the
apartment,
complex
development
team,
to
get
those
properties
up
to
space
up
to
snuff
and
then
they're.
B
You
know,
they'll
have
that
that
affordability
period
the
homeownership
program
again,
with
the
exception
of
a
potential
down
payment
assistance
program
which
would
still
go
through
our
partners
at
nevada,
rural
or
through
the
division
or.
However,
we
construct
that,
within
the
framework
of
the
the
eligible
uses,
the
the
the
modifications
that
a
homeowner
may
receive.
B
That's
gonna
go
through
entities
like
habitat
or
rebuilding
together
that
we
anticipate,
so
those
entities
would
get
the
funds
they
would
have.
They
would
then
go
out
to
the
the
folks
homes
and
modify
those
homes,
so
they
can
age
in
place
and
and
things
of
that
ilk.
A
E
A
The
bonding
authority
that
you
also
mentioned,
which
I
think
there's
300
million
just
most
recently
allocated
towards
that
as
well.
So
I
want
folks
to
know
that,
on
top
of
the.
E
A
E
B
We
don't
have
enough
time
to
go
that
in
depth,
but
to
give
you
the
the
overarching
I
I
will
tell
you,
you
know
our
our
sort
of
day
job,
if
you
will
is
our
traditional
nine
percent
and
four
percent
tax
credit
programs
which
we've
done
over
or
well.
I
know
michael,
has
potentially
those
available
and
he'll
he'll
jump
in
here.
B
With
the
emergency
rental
assistance,
the
era
one
bucket
the
state
collectively
as
a
whole,
got
208
million,
not
our
expenditure
rate.
Last
time
I
saw
the
report
that
was
the
february
numbers
was
83
percent.
If
memory
serves
so
83,
roughly
160
million
has
gone
out
the
door
there.
We've
had,
even
prior
to
that
before
we
got
federal
rental
assistance,
100
again
collectively
in
the
state.
108
million
by
my
count
went
out
the
door
era
2,
which
was
passed
through
the
american
rescue
plan.
B
B
The
10
percent
was
as
assembly
woman,
how
to
get
indicated
approved
by
this
board
last
summer,
and
that
money
is
already
getting
out
to
folks
that
10
and
the
balance
of
the
90
the
108
million
coming
in
is
due
for
approval.
Here
after
lunch.
I
guess
the
we
also
have
other
funds,
esg
cv
funds,
home
arp
that
we'll
talk
about
in
may
so
yeah
there's
been
a
whole
lot
of
funding.
That's
coming
in
you've
heard
that
state
entities
are
are
pretty
well
strapped.
B
The
good
news
is
from
that
standpoint
we're
pretty
much
the
conduit
agency.
The
folks,
a
lot
of
folks
that
you
heard
from
earlier
today
are
the
boots
on
the
ground
that
get
that
money
out
the
door
and
so
we're
the
pass-through
entity
and
and
we're
able
to
do
this
work.
E
A
E
A
Of
these
different
work
programs
at
different
budgetary
meetings
in
perspective
and
kind
of
all
in
one
place,
so
thank
you
for
that.
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
for
the
question.
A
Thank
you,
assemblyman
watson.
I
think
it's
a
very
important
piece.
I
think
we
get
kind
of
in
the
weeds
in
this
committee
and
then
and
definitely
with
agencies
where
we're
just
kind
of
a
little
bit
here,
a
little
bit
there
and
we're
working
on
it
and
we're
trying
to
get
it
moved
and
kind
of
drawing
painting
a
picture
of
what
you've
been
doing
and
and
doing
it
in
a
pretty
concise
manner.
In
a
very
short
period
of
time,
which
I
appreciate
was
really
helpful.
A
O
O
We've
talked
a
couple
times
and
I
was
able
to
talk
to
deputy
chief
of
staff
too,
and
I
was
able
to
talk
to
you
know
some
developers
and
other
folks
related
to
this,
and
so
I
want
to
circle
back
to
preservation
and
assembly.
When
women
hatagey
brought
that
up.
I
had
requested
like
how
many
units
need
to
be
preserved
across
the
state
and
the
information
I
was
provided.
Maybe
you
could
confirm
this.
O
B
No,
I
I
remember
the
question.
Thank
you
very
much
steve
across
again
for
the
record.
Those
are
the
total
amount
of
current,
affordable
properties
within
those
jurisdictions,
so
they
would
all
be
eligible.
If
you
will
to
go
back
to
assemblywoman
haudaghi's
question,
you
know,
could
you
do
it
after
five
years?
That's
everything
that
we
have.
That
could
be
eligible
for
preservation
realistically,
and
I
I
don't
have
the
numbers
on
what
exactly
would
be.
O
I
want
to
make
sure
we
extend
the
life
of
these
properties
and
keep
them
up
to
par,
and
I
I
heard
the
same
thing
like
18
to
20
years
is
when
you
have
to
rehab
the
properties
and
then
you
get
the
additional
30
years
and
part
of
which
you
didn't
use,
but
when,
when
we
look
at
the
numbers
of
the
buckets
that
the
bucket
for
that
is
for
3
000
units,
130
million
dollars,
I
think
which
is
about
forty
three
thousand
dollars
a
unit.
O
So
for
forty
three
thousand
dollars
a
unit,
we
can
upgrade
something
and
really
extend
the
life
of
that.
But
then,
when
we
look
at
the
new
housing,
I'd
requested
some
numbers
on
that
and
right
now
new
housing.
I
think
what
was
provided
by
your
office.
It
costs
between
222
and
250
000
for
a
new
unit,
but
the
projection
is
when,
when
we
use
this
bucket
of
funds,
the
300
million
that
those
would
be
250
to
350,
so
they
would
be
more
expensive.
O
So
we
think
we're
gonna
get
like
1700
units,
so
you
know
like
weighing
these
buckets
when
you
can
see
43
000,
to
the
extent
extend
the
life
of
a
of
a
unit
versus
a
new
unit
that
costs
a
multiple.
I
mean
we
can
do
like
four
times
as
many
units
preserving
and
making
sure
that
we
have
good
good
housing
for
people
versus
new
units.
I
wanted
to
ask
about
those
numbers
because
really
to
move
the
needle,
we
want
to
maximize
what
we
can
do.
So
do
you
think,
there's
enough
housing
housing
that
needs
preservation.
O
You
know
across
the
state,
and
should
we
be
looking
at
doing
more
preservation
to
make
sure
we
have
that
housing
or
should
we
be
spending
money
on?
You
know
like
expensive
units,
because
in
the
in
the
end
we
want
to
net
more
housing
for
people.
B
Yeah
stevie
croft
for
the
record
and
and
I'll
probably
defer
to
michael
on
on
some
of
this
because
he's
the
the
math
wizard
behind
these
these
answers,
but
effectively
we
need
to
do
both.
B
You
did
hear
about
the
shortage
of
housing
if
we
just
preserve
and
do
nothing
but
preserve,
we
don't
increase
the
number
now
we
do
eliminate
or
partially
eliminate
that
the
drain,
if
you
will
on
on
the
affordable
properties,
but
we're
not
adding
new
units,
so
it
does
need
to
be
two-fold
in
in,
in
my
opinion,
and
the
only
way
that
you're
going
to
get
there
and,
as
you
heard,
with
supportive
housing
transitional
housing
folks
that
have
intellectual
disabilities,
those
are
really
really
hard
to
build
with
our
traditional
sources
of
funding
and
so
to
increase
that
inventory.
B
That's
where
this
particular
funding
can
can
really
assist,
and
michael
I'll
turn
to
you.
I
don't
know
if
you
have
anything
to
add
to
that
particular
equation,
he's
shaking
his
head.
No.
O
So
when
I
looked
at
the
dollars
like
the
the
homeowner
assistance
programs
is
where
you
have
the
accessibility
dollars.
So
that's
where
those
are
it's
not
necessarily
in
the
300
million
it's
in
the
accessibility
and
the
right,
so
so
those
dollars,
I
think,
make
a
lot
of
sense,
because
we
need
to
make
sure
people
have
accessibility
if
they
have
disabilities
or
their
seniors
right.
O
So
I
guess
the
drain.
What
do
we
do?
We
need
to
work
on
that
drain,
so
that's
my
my
big
issue
really
is
that
what's
the
most
cost
effective
way
to
use
these
dollars
because
the
con
the
drain
is
really,
I
think,
at
a
high
rate
or
run
down
pro
properties.
So
I
I
don't
know
if
you
have
anything
to
add
to
that,
because
I
have
another
question
and
I
don't
want
to
take.
You
know
too
much
time,
but
that's
that's
a
big
issue.
Yeah.
B
L
I
did
this
is
terry
reynolds,
director
of
bni.
You
know,
as
you
know,
we
put
300
million
into
from
our
volume
cap,
which
is
the
authorization
to
issue
tax-free
bonds
and
part
of
those
bonds.
L
O
A
follow-up,
no
thank
you,
so
I
have
just
another.
You
know,
but
part
of
the
reason,
and
my
understanding
is
why
this
is
set
up
to
be
able
to
move
the
money
into,
and
we
haven't
talked
you
haven't
talked
about
this
because
we
didn't
talk
about
the
details
into
a
non-executive
budget
was
because
of
the
urgency.
But
then
I
also
know
in
talking
to
some
folks
who
work
in
this
industry
that
there's
the
the
home
funds
piece
so
to
get
a
property
tax
abatement.
O
You
have
to
go
through
this
process,
it's
called
the
home
funds
and
I
know
in
washer
county
the
process
is
in
in
december.
It's
my
understanding
it's
in
december
and
they
don't
hear
back
till
may.
So
that's
like
six
months,
where
they're
trying
to
secure
the
property
and
try
to
get
something
moving,
and
so
you
know
this
urgency.
I
mean,
I
think,
that's
some.
When
we
talk
about
obstacles
so
in
the
line
of
obstacles,
that's
something
that
takes
a
lot
of
time
that
could
be
fixed.
O
So
you
know
how
we
run
this
and
seeing
whether
we'd
come
back
through
ifc
or
not.
That's
been
a
time
element,
but
we
have
obstacles
in
the
way,
one
of
which
is
this
hud's,
this
home
funds
issue.
That
is
just
huge.
That's
like
an
immediate
six-month
delay
that
probably
needs
to
get
fixed
to
be
able
to
move
things
and
then
also
recognizing
the
other
programs
that
you
have.
O
The
tax
credits
like
you're
able
to
build
new
housing
with
tax
credits,
and
I
appreciate
in
the
conversation
this
is
an
ad
to
what
you
already
have,
and
so
keeping
that
in
mind
and
then
other
obstacles.
So
you
know
sort
of
the
big
picture.
Is
we
have
a
limited
amount
of
funds?
O
How
can
we
make
sure
that
we
have
as
many
people
as
possible
in
affordable
housing
and
being
on
the
plus
side
and
not
losing
too
many,
and
then
how
do
we
make
sure
that
we
get
some
of
the
obstacles
away
so
that
we
can
address
this
in
a
more
timely
manner
than
the
way
the
processes
are
set
up
right
now
and
also
like
local
government?
So
local
governments
have
a
big
piece,
and
there
might.
O
I
might
have
colleagues
that
ask
questions
around
what
the
permitting
fees
are
and
infrastructure
and
all
those
things
are
related
to
doing
the
housing,
because
I
also
know
we
have
an
infrastructure
bank,
that's
going
to
work
on
infrastructure,
so
some
of
those
pieces
are
going
to
help
with
this
too.
But
you
know
overall,
I
think
we
need
to
do
affordable
housing.
I
don't
think
the
executive,
the
non-executive
budget
works
and
is
really
to
the
point
of
the
time
when
we
have
other
things
that
are
slowing
down
the
process.
O
O
O
Until
you
got
your
question
answered,
I've
spent
so
many
hours
on
this
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
can
maximize
it.
So
I've
got
all
this
in
my
head
and
I
think
I'm
kind
of
letting
it
go
in
pieces,
but
those
the
objective
is
the
same.
But
how
can
we
best
use
this
money
to
serve
people
and
then
how
can
we
get
rid
of
some
of
the
obstacles.
B
Yeah
so
steve
across
for
the
record.
Thank
you
you.
You
really
touch
a
ton
on
pardon
me
I'll
get
to
home
funds
in
a
moment,
but
really-
and
you
did
hear
the
the
mayor
of
reno-
come
up
and
and
talk
about
the
programs
and
the
acceleration
that
they've
done,
and
so
a
lot
of
that
needs
to
be
done
on
the
local
jurisdiction
level.
The
planning,
the
zoning
all
of
that
stuff
and
and
most
of
the
entities
that
I've
talked
about
are
in
some
sort
of
discussion
or
have
taken
action.
B
You
heard
clark
county,
they
approved
yesterday,
their
community
housing
trust
and
we
are
involved
diligently
with
the
local
jurisdictions
in
trying
to
get
that
process
quicker,
faster
and
and
more
flexible.
To
be
honest,
home
funds
are
a
unique
component
of
the
capital
stack
in
a
project
in
nevada
because
they
do,
as
you
mentioned,
trip
that
property
tax
exemption.
So
the
counties
are
very
cognizant
of
making
sure
that
these
projects
are
going
to
come
through
and
they're
going
to
serve
their
constituents
and
they're
going
to
pencil
without
that
property
tax
exemption.
B
So
there
is
a
process:
pardon
me
that
they
have
to
go
through
to
obtain
those
home
funds,
specifically
in
washoe
county
and
in
clark.
County
clark.
County
has
probably
made
it
a
little
bit
quicker,
so
we
don't
have
necessarily
that
obstacle
that
you
see
in
reno,
but
I
will
say
that
the
developers
who
develop
in
the
truckee
meadows
they
already
know
that
that
exists,
so
a
lot
of
them
they'll
take
down
and
they'll
get
the
approval
for
the
home
funds
long
before
they
even
start
building,
and
so
that's
typically,
how
that
that
process
works.
B
We'd
like
to
see
it
cleaned
up.
If
it
needed
to
be
cleaned
up,
this
group
would
would
be
considering
it
next
session.
We've
talked
about
it
on
the
housing
advisory
committee.
They
get
one
bdr,
that's
a
bdr
or
an
idea.
That's
been
targeted
through
the
housing
advisory
committee.
We
were
short
a
legislator
for
a
while.
We
do
have
one
now
on
that
committee,
so
we'll
see
how
that
that
pans
out.
O
Thank
you
so
much,
I'm
willing
to
offer
a
pdr
for
that,
because
that'll
help
expedite
it.
If
you
don't
get
it
through
the
advisory
committee.
C
Knew
I
was
going
to
ask
the
question
so
that's
why
it
wasn't
anyway
yeah
again,
there's
no
doubt
and
given
the
the
input
here
this
morning,
you
know
the
need.
Is
there?
We
all
understand
that
my
big
concern
is
and
I'm
going
to
cut
right
to
the
chase
as
a
non-executive
piece
of
the
budget.
I
don't
know,
first
and
foremost,
mr
across
steve,
how
big
of
a
impairment
is
it
to
you
and
your
division?
If
you
don't
in
fact
come
before
this
body,
if
you
do
in
fact
come
before
this
body.
B
So
I
guess
the
the
best
way
to
frame
this
overall
and
I'll
I'll
turn
it
over
to
michael,
and
he
can
talk
about.
You
know
exactly
how
he
or
bailly
envisions
the
the
buckets
working
in
in
in
the
non-executive
budget.
We
know
that
the
arpa
funds
need
to
be
obligated
by
december
of
2024.,
as
senator
gantzer
just
mentioned,
there's
some
obstacles
to
getting
that
done.
Timely.
B
We
just
had
a
and
mayor
shivey
mentioned
a
grand
opening
for
a
property
in
reno
that
property
was
started
well
before
the
pandemic.
Now
granted,
they
had
some
pandemic
related
issues
that
delayed
the
construction
of
that
and
they
had
worked
on
that
piece
of
property
long
before
that,
so
it
takes
years
to
go
from
a
to
b,
to
funding
to
occupancy
is
roughly
18
to
24
months,
with
everything
being
clear.
So
we
know
that
we
have
to
get
the
pre-applications
out.
We
have
to
get
the
applications
out.
We
have
to
vet
these
processes.
B
We
have
to
vet
these
projects
and
that's
going
to
take
a
little
bit
of
time.
Also,
on
the
front
end
before
we
even
consider
releasing
the
funds
for
a
particular
project,
and
then
it
has
to
get
built
and
we're
just
really.
B
The
fiscal
recovery
funds
are
built
on
a
very,
very
short
timeline
from
the
development
standpoint
and
michael.
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
comment
on
exactly
how
that
is
going
to
work
within
the
the
budgetary
system
good
afternoon,
michael
holliday,
chief
financial
officer
for
the
housing
division
for
the
record.
L
Programs
that
would
be
required
to
do
it
by
project
as
administrator
aircraft
just
pointed
out,
we're
gonna
have
a
pre-application
application.
We're
gonna
have
underwriting
we're.
Gonna
have
the
lenders
that
are
gonna
have
to
sign
off
on
this
and
then,
if
we
and
no
one's
gonna
do
that
before
they
know
that
there's
funding
available
from
the
state.
Quite
honestly,
the
developers
are
not
going
to
be
able
to
take
the
risk
of
taking
down
a
piece
of
land.
L
L
12
projects
on
the
preservation,
it
could
be
30
to.
E
E
L
Or
someone
that
has
oversight
over
treasury
will
actually
come
in
and
review
the
program
as
well
and
keep
an
eye
on
one
place
is
going
to
be
far
more
transparent,
and
it's
also
going
to
allow
us
to
provide
reporting
not
only
to
your
body
but
to
the
bodies
that
treasury
or
oig
you
have
oversight.
It's.
L
C
I'm
just
one
quick
follow-up
here.
You
know
I'm
going
to
make
one
point
and
I'm
you
know
I
I
really
struggling
to
support
this.
In
fact,
I
won't
support
it,
moving
it
to
non-executive
budget.
You
just
said
that
it's
got
to
be
obligated
by
2024,
there's
nothing
constant,
except
for
this
committee.
In
that
scenario,
we've
got
an
election
in
november.
There
will
be
some
changes.
There
will
be
people
that
are
sitting
here
today
that
won't
be
here.
C
This
is
the
only
consistent
in
ifc
and
I
think
we
are
moving
away
from
our
duty
as
elected
legislators.
If
we're
going
to
not
provide
the
oversight,
I'm
not
convinced
that
it's
that
critical,
that
we,
in
fact
the
time
frames,
are
so
critical
that
we
can't
take
we're
going
to
meet
here
may
5th
we're
going
to
be
meeting
again
as
ifc.
C
Those
time
frames.
Aren't
that
critical.
I
think
we
need
to
provide
the
oversight.
I
agree.
We
need
there's,
no
doubt
all
the
input
we
heard
this
morning,
you're
doing
a
great
job,
steve
and
you
know
I
appreciate
it
but
again
constance
what
is
going
to
be
constant
here.
It
is
the
legislature.
It's
our
duty
to
approve
these
items
and
that's
the
big
hole
I
have
in
it
we're
talking:
500
million
dollars,
a
half
a
billion
yeah,
it's
it's
everybody
says
it's
federal
dollars
and
but
it's
still
real
money
and
it's
taxpayer
money.
C
A
G
Bailey
bortlin
for
the
record.
Thank
you
senator
for
the
concerns.
I
think
this
is
a
really
important
conversation
and,
as
michael
holliday
mentioned,
we've
undertaken
a
robust
analysis
of
the
treasury
rules,
and
part
of
that
is
because
anything
that
we
do
when
we
will
inevitably
be
audited
on
these
dollars.
That
is
not
found
to
be
correct
means
that
the
state
of
nevada
general
fund
will
be
on
the
hook
to
pay
these
dollars
back
to
the
federal
government.
So
we
are
doing
that
due
diligence
over
and
over
again
to
the
best
of
our
ability.
G
The
streams
that
he
mentioned
is
there
are
very,
very
specific
rules
in
the
treasury
guidance
on
to
how
you
can
do
housing,
what
kind
of
housing
you
can
do.
What
does
that
look
like
and
if
we
use
an
existing
housing
budget
account?
There
are
things
that
the
division
of
housing
does
that
don't
necessarily
meet
all
of
those
requirements
of
how
the
federal
dollars
may
be
used.
G
So,
by
having
two
different
budget
accounts,
we
are
able
to
set
ourselves
up
more
responsibly
for
a
future
audit
that
we
are
expecting
from
the
federal
government
and
the
other
point
that
I
wanted
to
make
on.
That
is
that
you
alluded
to
the
fact
that
an
election
will
happen
and
shares
will
change
in
this
room
and
throughout
our
state.
G
These
dollars
in
this
budget
account
will
still
come
before
the
legislature
in
the
govrec
budget.
So
I
don't
have
my
gfo
assist
today,
but
wayne's
had
this
conversation
with
us
as
well.
Mr
thorley
may
be
able
to
help
me
out
if
I
bungle
this,
but
that
budget
account
that
we
would
be
creating
if
this
vote
is
taken
today
will
come
back
before
the
legislature
during
the
next
legislative
session.
C
Go
for
it
just
one,
just
one
piece
of
that
again,
it
will
come
back
before
the
legislature.
Why
not
bring
it
back
to
us
in
30
days
as
this
progresses?
There
are
a
ton
of
answered
unanswered
questions
out
there.
There
everybody's
moving
scrambling,
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
get
there.
What
is
the
best
bang
for
the
buck?
Is
it
preservation?
Is
it
new
construction?
C
G
Respectfully
senator
bailey
bortlin
for
the
record.
We
would
be
happy
to
be
a
standing
item
on
the
ifc
agenda
and
to
make
sure
that
you
all
are
informed
of
the
progress
of
this.
It's
simply
a
timeline
issue
and
having
had
these
conversations
many
times,
I
know
that
michael
holliday
has
not
given
you
his
most
robust
version
of
the
timelines
of
these
different
projects
and
what
the
layering
pieces
look
like.
G
But
we
simply
can't
afford
to
be
tripped
up
on
one
of
those
and
not
be
able
to
complete
this
within
the
timelines
of
the
federal
dollar.
So
we
we
recognize
that
there
are
extraordinary
obstacles
that
there's
an
extraordinary
need
and
we
found
a
way
to
be
able
to
deliver
it,
because
it's
what
we
were
asked
to
do
by
nevadans.
A
Thank
you,
I'm
assemblyman
hafen
has
a
question
and,
and
then
I
think,
assemblywoman
miller
does
as
well,
but
before
that
and
then
senator
harris.
Are
there
any
local
government
approvals
or
processes
required
for
the
any
of
these
projects
that
that
would
be
required
before
you
were
able
to
obligate
the
funds
or
or
spend
the
money.
B
Stevie
across
for
the
record
well
again
going
back
to
planning
zoning
things
of
that
ilk.
The
home
funds
have
to
be
approved
by
the
county
as
they
come
in.
We
have
in
consideration
of
this
and
with
the
with
clark
counties
which
you
heard
earlier.
They've
they've
put
fiscal
relief
funds
towards
affordable
housing
city
las
vegas
has
reno,
has
we're
in
conversations
I
won't
say
constantly,
but
frequently
with
these
jurisdictions
and-
and
we
will
continue
to
have
those
conversations
so
there's
not
necessarily.
B
An
obstacle
there
that's
going
to
prevent
the
the
use
of
these
funds
anywhere
in
the
state
other
than
what
may
be
through
their
typical
jurisdictional
ordinances
and
things
of
that
elk.
Yeah.
B
Steve
across
for
the
record,
we
will
be
having
those
discussions.
There
may
be
projects
that
are
solely
funded
in
clark
county
through
their
arpa
funds.
There
may
be
projects
in
clark
county
that
are
done
solely
through
the
state
funds
and
then
layering
the
other
sources,
but
we
can
also
intermix
them
too.
So
that's
that's
permitted
under
the
final
rule,
and
so.
A
I'm
just
just
wondering
if
that
same
level
of
trepidation
from
the
investment
community
would
exist
if
there
were
approvals
necessary
at
the
local
level
on
a
piece
of
the
funding.
B
Yeah
we'll
have
those
discussions,
but
I
don't
believe
that
that
exists
currently.
N
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
guys
for
this
presentation.
I
I
definitely
see
the
need.
L
I
do
have
a
number
of
outstanding
questions,
but
one
of
the
the
questions
and
concerns
that
I
have
is
is:
how
are
we
going
to
prevent
fraud?
I
I've
seen
too
much
of
it
locally.
N
It
so
I
just
need
to
know
you
know
what
what
kind
of
precautionary
measures
are
we
going
to
take
to
try
to
prevent
the
continuance
of
fraud.
B
Steve
across
for
the
record,
the
way
we
envision
this
through
the
pre-application
and
then
the
application
period,
one
of
the
first
things
we're
going
to
determine
is
the
eligibility
of
the
project
and
and
the
eligibility
of
the
residences
part
of
that
process
will
be
the
history
of
the
entity.
That's
requested
funds,
their
financial
stability.
We
will
need
to
look
at
at
who
these
entities
are
again.
As
I
reiterated
earlier,
that's
not
going
out
to
you
know
specific
individuals.
These
are
pretty
much
larger
groups.
B
There
are
certain
requirements,
particularly
when
you
issue,
either
over
a
million
or
10
million
dollars
in
the
fiscal
relief
recovery
funds
that
the
recipients
have
to
abide
by.
Also-
and
one
of
those
is
the
signal
audit
requirement,
so
we
anticipate,
as
as
mr
holliday
indicated
previously,
that
that
these
are
going
to
be
large
amounts
of
funding
going
to
single
places.
It's
not
a
large
amount
of
funding
being
spread
out
over.
B
You
know
a
a
whole
bunch
of
folks
and
and
michael,
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
comment
on
the
other
requirements
that
treasury
has.
Regarding
that.
L
For
the
record,
michael
aldi,
the
biggest
requirement,
as
you
mentioned
administrator,
is
the
single
audit.
Anybody
who
receives
more
than
750
000
of
these
funds
will
be
required
to
not
only
have
an
audit
but
to
have
a
single
on
it
that
meets
the
federal
requirements
and,
as
direct
administrator
pointed
out,
most
of
these
projects
will
have
over
750
000
in
a
given
project.
So
they'll
have
the
the
oversight
of
the
division
up
front
with
underwriting.
L
If
they
have
a
lender,
they'll
have
the
oversight
of
a
lender
doing
underwriting
as
well,
and
then
they'll
have
compliance
ongoing
with
the
division
for
the
entire
period
of
affordability.
Those
will
be
for
income
restrictions,
as
well
as
the
physical
appearance
and
health
and
safety
of
the
property,
and
then,
on
top
of
that,
they'll
be
required
to
have
the
single
audit
for
receiving
those
federal
funds.
A
Thank
you,
assemblyman.
We
have
up
next
assembly
woman
miller
and
then
after
that
senator
harris
and
then
assemblywoman
benitez
thompson.
How
do
you
don't
get
you
don't
get?
No
more.
J
Thank
you,
chair
brooks
there's.
E
Things
like
you
know
when
they
can
see
and
feel
this,
and
it
leads
me
to
a
sub
question
about
what
you
just
mentioned
about
the
groups.
When
I
look
at
this,
the
four
categories
which
I,
according
to
what
the
experts
have
explained
to
me,
this
is
an
appropriate
approach
to
what
will
start
to
relax
some
of
the
challenges
we're
having
here
in
nevada.
J
B
So
ultimately,
this
will
benefit
individuals
in
every
category
correct,
but
in
the
home
ownership
program.
Basically,
we
can
subs
supplement
for
lack
of
a
better
word,
our
current
dpa
programs
that
are
administered
at
the
division
or
at
nevada,
rural
housing,
and
that
will
go
to
roll
down
to
the
individual.
J
E
E
B
So
steve
across
again
for
the
record
sorry,
I
kind
of
forget
that
sometimes
typically,
what
we're
going
to
see
in
in
the
larger
swath
is,
is
nevada-based
business,
nevada-based
contractors
doing
the
work.
Ultimately,
I'm
not
sure
about
the
second
part
of
your
question.
J
B
Yeah,
this
is
not
to
build
people
second
homes
or
anything
like
that.
I
would
say
that
you
know
typical,
supportive
or
tran
transitional
housing,
I
wouldn't
say,
is
primary
housing,
but
certainly
puts
a
roof
over
somebody's
head
for
30
60
90
days.
Whatever
the
time
period
is,
we
do
anticipate
some
construction
in
that
space
also,
but
ultimately
it
is
to
increase
our
affordable
housing
across
the
spectrum
for
a
long
period
of
time.
A
O
A
N
E
This
and
this
is,
as
it's
been
mentioned,
an
extraordinary
need.
I
had
a
couple
questions,
the
first
being
on
the.
E
B
Targeting
first
so
stevie
akarth
again
for
the
record
land
is
probably
the
one
thing
that
we
probably
don't
have
our
arms
around.
To
a
certain
extent.
B
We
know
that
that
it's
going
to
exist,
we
probably
will
be
competing
potentially
with
the
private
sector,
but
we
envision
it
going
down
down
this
road.
If,
if
you
will
number
one
using
land
acquisition
from
to
to
assist
developments,
that
might
already
be
planned
to
get
them
off
the
ground
quicker,
so
that
that
if
we
can
use
their
funding
to
supplant
some
of
their
land
costs,
we
can
develop
those
those
properties.
B
The
the
second
issue
is
to
potentially
hold
it
for
future
development.
That's
an
allowable
use
under
the
final
rule.
So
while
we
haven't
really
figured
that
one
out
yet
to
be
very
candid
with
you
that
I
don't
think
the
state
really
wants
to
hold
on
to
the
land
that
will
probably
be
purchased
with
jurisdiction,
buy-in
and
then
the
jurisdictions.
If
they
want
to
hold
it
for
additional
times,
it
would
be
deed,
restricted
for
specific,
affordable
housing
purposes.
B
The
third
thing
is,
we
are
working
with
state
lands
in
some
other
particular
projects
that
could
be
eligible
uses
of
this
funding,
and
so
we're
gonna
look
at
that
too,
and
and
if
we
need
to
potentially
use
that
that
land
process
to
help
facilitate
getting
jurisdictional
land
into
the
hands
of
developers,
we
can
do
that.
Also
great
thanks,
because.
E
That's
a
big
concern
of
mine
is
is
if
we
go
into
competition.
You
know
the
unintended
consequence
of
the
well
intentions
here
could
be.
We
drive
up
the
price
of
housing
even
more.
So
if
you
don't
mind
briefing
me
on
that,
and
then
is
there:
is
there
a
target
of
distribution
of
funds
throughout
the
state
between
the
rural?
You
know
north
south
and
all
that-
and
I
know
nobody
here-
thinks
that
way,
but
I
just
kind
of
like
to
hear
it.
L
This
is
terry
reynolds.
Can
I
can
I
chime
in
here
a
second.
I
think
I
think
it's
important
and
mr
tatro
somebody
and
tracho
brings
up
a
good
point.
I
will
tell
you
that
we're
not
in
the
business
and
competing
with
the
public,
the
private
sector
in
this,
and
I
want
to-
I
want
to
clarify
that.
L
The
second
part
of
this
is
that
we've
had
a
lot
of
interest
from
local
government
they're,
looking
at
their
arp
allocations
and
what
they're
going
to
do
with
their
funding
and
they're
looking
at
purchasing
land
or
purchasing
properties
that
can
be
real
rehabilitated
and
put
into
multi-family
housing
or
even
transitional
housing.
So
we're
looking
at
that.
L
As
director
aycroft
said,
we
are
also
looking
at
state
lands
and
there
are
state
land
properties
around
them
that
we
have
surveyed
and
then
some
of
them
are
are
suitable
and
some
are
not,
but
we
are
looking
at
being
able
to
use
those.
Are
we
going
to
be
straight
up
competing
with
the
private
sector
in
terms
of
buying
you
know
and
and
bidding
on
property?
No
we're
not,
I
think
that's.
I
think
we
need
to
clarify
that.
L
We've
had
conversations
with
our
county
with
the
city
of
las
vegas
north
las
vegas,
on
properties
that
they
would
like
to
see
purchased
that
they
will
work
with
us
and
that
we
will
work
with
them
on
rehabilitating
those
properties.
So
I
wanted
to
clarify
that
director.
Aycroft
is
he's
accurate
when
he
says
that
you
know
these
are
things
that
we're
going
to
have
to
work
out
and
they're
not
settled
yet.
L
But
we've
had
a
lot
of
conversations
with
city,
reno,
clark,
county
city,
las
vegas,
north
las
vegas,
about
potential
properties
to
go
in
and
work
with
them
on
a
purchase
and
a
rehabilitation
of
an
existing
structure
or
to
tear
down
that
structure.
L
That's
in
it's
in
bad
shape
and
converted
into
housing.
That's
all
going
to
take
planning
work
in
terms
of
zoning
permitting
on
that.
But
those
are
more
long-term
things
that
we
want
to
see
done.
I
think
that
will
benefit
in
the
long
run
the
rehabilitation
and
or
building
new
properties
within
the
transit
corridors
or
downtown
corridors
of
these
cities.
G
And
if,
if
I
could
add
to
that
bailey
bortlin
for
the
record,
something
that
the
director
touched
on-
and
I
I
just
want
to
say
it
more
directly
because
it
would
be
tooting
their
own
horn.
G
But
our
state
team
that
we
have
before
you
here
today
is
uniquely
situated
to
do
this
work
and
the
reason
you
heard
from
so
many
people
in
local
government
this
morning
is
really
a
product
of
the
relationships
that
they
have
developed
and
the
stakeholder
groups
that
have
been
initiated
and
the
way
that
they
work
together
in
their
existing
work
that
they
have
an
ability
to
expand
on
here
today.
But
it
is
unique
to
housing.
G
G
It
is
incredibly
collaborative
to
the
point
where
we
are
having
detailed
conversations
that
we'll
be
able
to
have
in
better
faith
going
forward
today
and
more
robustly,
because
we've
been
waiting
for
authorization
to
act
as
the
state
stakeholder,
but
these
groups
are
coming
together,
statewide
to
say,
okay,
if
we
look
at
the
rules,
if
we
look
at
what
does
everyone
have?
How
can
we
full
use
this
as
a
force
multiplier?
G
How
can
we
best
ensure
that
we
come
up
to
senator
ganzard's
point
with
the
greatest
number
of
units
and
that
we
are
getting
the
best
bang
for
our
buck
and
the
unity
that
we
have
on
the
boots
on
the
ground
on
this
issue
is
unmatched,
and
so
we
are.
We
are
really
walking
hand
in
hand
with
everyone
else
that
has
dollars
to
contribute
to
this
space.
E
Those
explanations
I
appreciate
it.
I
do
just
want
to
echo
the
concern
of
if
we're
kind
of
authorizing
something
with
on
the
the
purchase
of
the
land,
but
we
we
don't
have
that
through.
So
you
know
check
back
or
something
when
you
do
when
you
do
figure
out.
That
piece
would
be
great
and
I'm
sorry
chair,
I
know
you're
hungry,
but
the
what
mix
are
you
looking
for
in
the
targeted
units?
E
I
would
hope
it's
not
100
affordable,
because
all
the
studies
show
you
know
if
you
have
a
market
rate
of
80,
then
20,
affordable
or
90,
10
or
or
something
like
that.
I'd
love
to
hear
and
then
just
last
how
many
units,
until
I
haven't
heard
it
today
and
I
apologize
if
it
was
mentioned,
but
how
many
units
are
we
short
and
and
how
big
of
a
dent
are
we
gonna
have?
I
just
think
that's
a
great
metric
to
for
all
of
us
to
understand.
B
So
steve
across
administrator
of
the
housing
division
answer
your
second
part.
First,
you
know:
we've
heard
105
000
units
short
84
000
units
for
the
eli
community,
those
below
50
am
I
so.
The
numbers
that
we're
talking
about
will
put
a
dent
in
that
it
will
help
it's
not
going
to
solve
the
problem.
That's
just
it's
just
not
going
to
happen.
We
could.
We
could
be
here
talking
about
5
billion
dollars
and
not
get
there
to
your
other
point.
B
E
D
Thank
you
chair.
I
appreciate
you
hanging
in
there.
I
think
we're
averaging
about
one
question
per
million
dollars
at
this
point,
so
you're
doing
fantastic.
I
apologize.
My
question
may
be
a
little
long-winded,
so
sorry
committee
and
presenters,
and
it
may
be
a
little
aggressive
as
well,
but
that's
just
my
innate
state
of
being
so
please
don't
take
any
offense
to
that.
Not
not
all
programs
are
created,
equal
right,
I'll,
give
a
good
example.
D
D
Are
the
programs
we're
about
to
put
a
bunch
of
money
into
the
ones
that
we
know
actually
lead
to
to
nevadans
feeling
that
effect
right
of
affordable
housing?
Are
we
actually
promoting
programs
that
are
doing
well?
Are
we
would
it
be
better
for
us
to
actually
not
put
250
million
dollars
in
programs
that
are
existing
right?
I
think
assemblyman
watts
mentioned
we've
already
put
a
billion
dollars
so
far
that
he
calculated
into
affordable
housing,
but
nevadans
aren't
feeling
that
not
to
say
you
aren't
doing
a
great
job
or
working
really
hard.
So
can.
D
B
B
B
Other
programs
try
to
figure
out
how
how
this
best
worked
and
really
it
came
down
to
and
I'll
treat
this
in
the
multi-family
space,
because
that's
the
bulk
of
this
we're
talking
about
430
million
of
the
500
million
in
that
particular
space
between
new
construction
and
preservation
that
really
came
down
to.
We
know
we
have
successful
programs,
we
know
we
are
making
a
difference.
You've
heard
it
from
nevada
hand,
you've
heard
it
from
other
developers,
you've
heard
it
from
the
communities
and-
and
so
we
know
those
programs
work.
B
How
do
we
replicate
that
using
these
dollars
and
that's
really
where
we
tried
to
focus
and
ultimately,
we
did
land
there,
and
I
know
some
of
you
have
have
seen
this
through
various
committees
or
various
presentations,
but
we
really
took
the
capital
stack
of
a
project
and
said:
okay,
how
do
we
get
these
funds
so
that
they
get
the
most
bang
for
their
buck
in
this
in
this
space,
and
that
was
to
create?
We
have
our
9
program.
We
have
our
four
percent
program.
B
Those
are
working,
fine,
those
are
creating
the
units
we
just
talked
about
we'd
like
to
have
more
dollars
in
that
space,
but
we're
limited
either
through
bond
cap
authority
or
just
our
nine
percent
tax
credits
that
we
get
per
capita.
B
We
developed
a
situation
where
we
could
develop
a
parallel
path
with
those,
so,
instead
of
two
trains
leaving
the
station
creating
affordable
housing,
we
now
have
three
using
this
fund
and
using
it
for
the
same
purposes,
but
also
potentially
a
deeper
dive
into
those
amis
that
we
can't
reach
with
the
other
two
trains.
So
that's
really
how
we've
come
to
this
conclusion
and
that
it's
going
to
be
the
highest
and
best
use,
but
it
took
a
long
time
to
get
there.
B
So
it
wasn't
what
you
know
and
and
we're
constantly
on
national
calls.
How
can
we
use
this
talking
to
fellow
states
talking
to
treasury,
so
we've
had
those
conversations,
so
that's
the
best
way
that
I
can
probably
frame
it.
B
I
can
tell
you
personally
that
this
is
probably
my
last
great
act
professionally
and
I
want
to
see
this
to
fruition.
So
this
is
this
is
where
we're
headed.
D
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
that,
and
I
just
want
to
quickly
reiterate
some
of
the
concerns
that
other
committee
members
had.
I
don't
really
want
to
put
the
job
of
oversight
and
rely
on
the
federal
government.
In
fact,
their
oversight
will
just
be
to
say
you
guys
owe
us
money
and
that's
really
on
the
back
end.
D
A
Thank
you,
and
I
think
we
have
assemblywoman
benitez
thompson,
has
a
question
as
well.
M
B
So
stevie
across
for
the
record
so
very,
very
good
question.
We
have
to
look
at
this
in
the
mirror
of
today
and
what's
allowable
and
the
guidance
that
treasury
has
given
us
to
use
these
funds
as
treasury
updates
their
guidance
or
changes
it
or
whatever.
That
may
may
look
like
that,
may
open
up
some
other
avenues
that
we
haven't
really
thought
about
and,
as
I
mentioned,
we're
tied
in
not
just
locally
but
nationally
so
nevada
is,
is
one
of
the
states.
A
Thank
you.
Do
we
have
any
other
questions
from
the
committee?
E
Is
brief,
but
I
had
a
question
related
to
some
of
those.
E
B
The
the
fiscal
recovery
funds
encourage,
but
do
not
require
davis
bacon,
so
know
that,
however,
when
we
get
to
the
certain
dollar
levels
that
were
there's
different
federal
wage
and
reporting
requirements
that
come
with
that
also,
so
the
the
arpa
funds
themselves
do
not
do
not
trip
the
davis
bacon
rules.
However,
if
we're
engaging
with
other
funds
that
do,
then
that
would
trip
that.
B
O
A
I
apologize
to
the
committee
for
for
taking
such
a
long
time
on
this,
but
you're
proposing
for
us
to
give
half
a
billion
dollars
to
an
executive
budget
account
and
then
never
have
any
oversight.
Again
we're
going
to
ask
questions
and
we're
going
to
ask
as
many
questions
as
anybody
on
this
committee
wants
to
ask
and
we're
going
to
take
as
long
as
it
takes
to
get
those
questions
answered.
So
with
that
being
said,
does
anyone
else
have
any
questions.
L
L
What
you've
been
doing
and
what
you're
going
to
be
doing
and
kind
of
give
a
report
about
you
know
with
the
happenings
I
guess
and
whatever
might
be
occurring.
So
we
have
a.
C
L
Understanding
every
every
meeting
that
we
have
would
you
be
willing
to
do
that.
G
Bailey
borderland
for
the
record.
Yes,
of
course,
we
are
tremendously
excited
for
the
opportunity
to
do
this
work
and
we
want
to
talk
about
it
and
we
want
to
talk
about
it
with
you,
so
we
would
be
happy
to
give
updates
whenever
this
body
meets,
and
I
would
also
make
the
offer
if
anyone
has
additional
questions,
if
you
think
of
something
after
today,
you
have
my
email
address
my
cell
phone
number.
G
G
A
You
can
do
it
without
our
partnership,
you
can't
do
it
without
our
approval
and
that's
what
we're
that's
what
we're
talking
about
today,
right
and
like
so
it
will
be
on
the
every
agenda
moving
forward
and
I
would
like
to
see
whoever
wants
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
this
if
they
make
a
motion
to
approve
it,
that
that
motion
includes
that
that
there
will
be
robust
reporting
on
every
single
ifc
forever
and
so
or
until
the
money
is
spent,
and
so,
if
anyone
is,
is
going
to
make
that
motion,
please
include
that,
and
so
I
I
think
that
we
assuming
oh
I
I
think
that
we
have
no
further
questions
from
the
committee,
so
I
would
accept
a
motion.
A
A
So
I
have
a
motion
from
assemblyman
yeager
and
I
have
a
second
from
senator
dennis.
Do
we
have
any
discussion
on
that
motion?
I
have
assemblywoman
titus
and
then
I
have
vice
chair
carlton.
P
So
could
I
get
a
clarification
on
that
motion?
Will
that
just
mean
that
they're
going
to
report
how
much
they
spent
and
then
we
won't
have
the
option
to
discuss
it
or
approve
it?
So
they're
just
going
to
say
here's
what
we
did
versus
any
influence
that
we
have
on
the
actual
expenditure,
because
again
my
literal
heartburn
over
this
is
this
money
going
and
you
might
report
back
everything
here's
what
we
spent
but
then
do
we
have
any
recourse
with
that
motion
that
senator
I
mean
assemblyman
jaegermaid.
O
O
Thank
you,
mr
so
assembling
yeager
offered
some
just
some
broad
requirements
of
the
reporting,
but
I
I
just
wanted
to
add
what
I
would
hope
for
was
number
of
units
cost
per
unit.
What
category
they're
in
location?
O
O
Does
that
make
some
sense,
and
you
don't
actually
have
to
do
that
last
part,
but
really
a
little
detail,
not
not
just
we've
spent
50
million
dollars
of
the
250
million
dollars,
and
we
have
you
know
whatever.
However
many
units
but
sort
of
categorizing
them
and
per
unit
costs,
some
some
just
details
that
make
us
feel
much
more
assured
that
this
money
is
being
spent
effectively.
C
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
you
know
I'm
really
struggling
with
this
yet,
but
I've
still
got
just
too
many
unanswered
questions
and
there's
just
too
much
ground
to
plow
between
where
we
are
today
and
what
we're
looking
forward.
C
If
I
had
my
druthers
we'd
move
down
the
road
90
days
and
see
where
we
really
were,
but
I'm
just
going
to
struggle
to
support
the
motion
the
way
it
is,
and
I
definitely
support
the
need-
and
I
know
we
need
to
move
the
dollars,
but
I've
just
got
too
many
questions,
yeah
exactly
how
this
is
going
to
shake
out
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
working
with
you
miss,
and
hopefully
you
can
answer
those.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
senator
gokuchiya,
we're
still
in
discussion
on
the
motion.
We
have
a
comment
from
senator
teitro.
E
Thank
you.
I
kind
of
reflect
what
senator
gilgacy
is
saying.
I
I
really
support
90
percent
of
this,
but
my
concerns
are
some
of
the
questions
that
couldn't
be
answered.
I
know
they're
well
intentioned
and
it's
gonna
it's
gonna
play
out,
but
I
just
I'm
concerned
about
voting
on
something
where
we
don't
know
what
we're
we
don't
have
the
plan
in
place
yet
so
anyhow
hoping
to
get
there
thanks.
P
P
I
Few
months,
I've
actually
steered
stakeholders
to
her
committee
and
and
I've
talked
to
a
lot
of
people
that
have
participated
that
and
I'm
very
comfortable
with
the
proposals
that
they
have
come
forward.
You
know
you
can't
have.
O
K
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
As
I
said
in
my
comments
earlier,
as
we
were
going
through
the
discussion
at
the
onset
of
a
few
hours
ago,
when
we
started
this,
I
will
echo
what
my
colleague
from
assembly
district
13
said,
because
our
districts
are
right
next
to
each
other.
This
is
a
problem
that
we
have
had
in
our
community
long
before
covet
housing,
affordable
housing
was
a
problem.
K
K
We
need
this
and
we
need
to
do
it
now,
and
there
was
a
comment
by
one
of
my
colleagues
that
it's
not
an
emergency,
tell
that
to
the
mom
who's
living
in
her
car
with
her
four
kids.
This
is
an
emergency.
This
is
the
time
to
do
it
and
having
the
reporting
come
back
to
us,
the
detailed
reporting
coming
back
to
this
committee,
of
how
this
money
is
being
spent
in
this
community
helping
families
in
this
state.
This
is
the
time
to
do
it.
This
is
now,
and
I
will
support
this
motion.
K
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
I've
had
maybe
a
dozen
really
tough
votes
in
my
life
and
I'm
going
to
give
this
one
like
five
stars
I
came
into,
I
have
worked
and
worked
and
talked
and
talked
to
people
on
this
one,
and
I
just
couldn't
get
myself
there
for
a
very,
very
long
time,
but
we're
a
citizens
legislature,
and
not
only
do
I
sit
here
making
these
decisions
in
in
that
respect,
but
I
have
neighbors
and
in
my
job
folks
knocking
on
my
door,
who
are
in
desperate,
desperate
need.
K
K
So
I
have
concerns,
but
I
also
have
a
lot
of
faith
in
the
people
who
run
this
division,
and
I
know
that
they're
going
to
do
an
excellent
job
and
I
look
forward
to
the
reporting,
so
I
will
be
supporting
this
today,
but
I
want
to
watch
it
very
very
closely
for
all
of
us.
We
do
have
a
crisis
and
it
needs
to
be
addressed.
A
Thank
you
vice
chair,
so
I'll.
I
will
make
a
comment
as
well
before
we
take
a
vote
and
I
think
it's
important
that
we
all
realize
that
this
is
public
funds.
It's
the
people's
money,
the
people
that
stayed
in
nevada.
It
is
not
the
executive
branch's
money,
it
is
not
the
legislature's
money.
This
money
came
in
when
we
were
in
session
and
this
and
this
money.
A
This
interim
committee
that
we
have
here
is
as
a
result
of
not
having
a
full-time
professional
legislature,
and
so
my
frustrations
are
with
the
the
government
that
we
have
in
the
state
of
nevada
and
how
it
does
not
serve
the
people
the
way
that
it
should,
because
of
our
part-time
nature
of
being
citizen
legislators,
and
I
think
that
this
is
such
a
incredibly
important
topic,
and
I
will
say
that
I
will
support
this
and
it
has
absolutely
nothing
to
do
with
anything
other
than
the
fact
that
it
is
an
important
topic
and
I
trust
the
team
of
individuals
who
are
going
to
manage
this.
A
I
trust
director
reynolds.
I
trust
mr
aircraft.
I
trust
mr
holliday
and
all
of
your
staff.
This
is
the
last
thing
I
will
ever
vote
on
that
is
brought
to
us
that
tries
to
circumvent
the
the
role
of
the
nevada
legislature
in
the
process.
The
nevada
constitution
is
crystal
clear
and
so
wow.
This
is
obviously
an
emergency,
and
this
is
incredibly
tough
vote.
I
am
incredibly
frustrated
with
the
process
and
how
we
got
to
the
place.
We
are
today
with
this
particular
work
program,
and
please
do
not
do
this
again.
A
Every
there
needs
to
be
the
level
of
oversight
that
that
we
are
everyone
on
this
up
here
was
elected
by
nevadans
and
they
and
the
constitution
says
that
we
are
supposed
to
have
that
oversight
so
moving
forward,
and
I
I
really
hope
to
work
with
you
on
what
these
work
programs
look
like
every
one
after
this,
but
moving
forward,
please.
A
This
is
the
last
vote.
I'm
going
to
take
that
that
circumvents
the
nevada
legislature
and
I
I
feel
that
it
does
circumvent
the
nevada
legislature
and
I
just
feel
so
very
confident
in
the
team-
that's
managing
this,
and
I
feel
that
the
need
is
so
incredibly
great
for
what
this
does.
But
I
am
just
frustrated
by
this
process,
so
without
any
other
discussion
on
the
motion.
A
Hands
raised,
I
have
senator
gokuchi
center
tetro
and
swimming
woman
titus
and
motion
passes
and
we
can
eat
lunch.
A
So
can
we
please
take
a
30
minute
recess
and
it
is
exactly
2
37
right
now.
Can
we
be
back
here
at
307
in
our
seats
and
going
because
it's
going
to
get
late,
late,
late,
quick,
quick,
quick?
