A
C
D
A
I
am
here,
and
I
will
note
that

perfectly
fine,

mark
senator
canazzaro

there
will
be
a

for

at
the

I'm
going

bps.

away.
A
Thank
you
vice

I
had
noted
that
we
did
mark
you
as
and
we'll
continue
to
monitor,
just
in
case
there's
any
technical
difficulties.
Thank
you
for
letting
us
know
bps.
Could
we
go
to
item
2
public
comment?
Please.
B
A
Thank
you
bps
and
again
as
a
reminder
to
anyone
watching
we
will
have
a
second
period
of
public
comment
at
the
end
of
the
meeting,
so
that
takes
us
to
agenda
item
number
three
approval
of
the
minutes.
Committee
members:
you
will
have
found
in
your
packet
two
draft
minutes
for
april
14th
2021
and
may
28
2021.
A
A
I
think
I
see
senator
settlemeyer
with
his
hand
up
he
made
the
motion.
Do
I
have
a
second
on
the
motion?
Second,
there
were
a
few
seconds
I
think
I
heard
oh
I
saw
I
saw
vice
chair
fryerson,
so
I'll
give
him
a
second
and
committee
members.
Rather
than
do
roll
call
votes,
I
would
like
to
do
voice
votes
on
these
motions
to
get
us
through
the
meeting
a
little
bit
quicker.
A
So
when
we're
ready
to
take
a
motion,
if
everyone
could
just
unmute-
and
I
will
give
you
ample
time
to
to
either
approve
or
disapprove
those
and
then
we'll
note
it
for
the
record
and
before
we
take
that
vote,
I
do
note
that
senator
cannizzaro
has
joined
us
good
morning.
Senator
so,
madam
secretary,
could
you
please
mark
her
as
present
again,
the
motion
is
to
approve
the
two
sets
of
minutes.
We
have
a
motion.
We
have
a
second
all.
Those
in
favor
of
the
motion,
please
signify
by
saying
aye.
A
If
there
is
anyone
opposed,
would
you
please
say
nay,
I
don't
hear
any
opposition,
so
that
means
the
motion
does
pass
unanimously.
Those
two
sets
of
minutes
are
approved
that
will
now
take
us
to
item
four
on
the
agenda,
which
is
the
review
of
administrative
regulations
submitted
pursuant
to
nrs233b.o67.
A
As
committee
members
know
in
your
packet,
we
have
five
different
regulations
before
us
today.
We
also
have
legislative
council,
mr
brian
fernley,
on
zoom,
with
us,
to
assist
in
consideration
of
these
items.
As
I
noted,
there
are
five
sets
of
regulations
on
the
agenda
for
potential
approval
based
on
information
we
have
received
regarding
regulation,
r009-208.
A
I'm
going
to
defer
consideration
of
that
regulation
to
a
future
meeting
so
again,
that
is
our
009
dash
20a
the
state
board
of
pharmacy
regulations.
So
we
will
not
be
considering
that
at
this
morning's
meeting,
which
means
that
it
leaves
us
with
four
sets
of
regulations
to
consider,
as
is
our
usual
method,
I
will
let
you
know
the
regulations
that
I
have
been
asked
to
hold
for
questions
today
and
then
I'll
ask
members
to
identify
any
additional
regulations
they
would
like
to
hold
for
discussion.
A
As
of
this
point,
I
have
not
been
asked
by
any
commission
members
to
hold
any
regulations
for
questions
prior
to
this
meeting,
but
I
want
to
give
members
the
option
now
of
the
four
remaining
regulations.
Are
there
any
that
commission
members
would
like
to
be
pulled
for
further
discussion
or
questions.
A
A
A
A
E
You
chairman
yeager,
can
everybody
hear
me?
Okay,
we
can
okay
great
for
the
record.
This
is
dan
russian
chief
financial
officer
of
the
legislative
council
bureau,
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
the
lcb
and
director
erdos
to
present
agenda
item
4b,
which
formally
requests
the
commission's
approval
to
balance
forward
unspent
funds
appropriated
in
previous
fiscal
years
to
the
current
fiscal
year,
ending
june
30th
2022..
E
This
item
consists
of
three
separate
requests
related
to
projects
that
were
halted
due
to
pandemic
related
issues.
These
issues
included
vendors
being
unable
to
visit
lcb
facilities,
scarcity
of
materials
and
lcb
staff
and
material
resources
being
reassigned
to
ensure
that
the
operational
needs
of
the
31st
and
32nd
special
sessions
and
the
2021
regular
session
were
met.
As
all
of
you
know,
there
was
a
great
deal
of
additional
work
required
to
make
sure
that
the
lcb
facilities
could
function
during
the
pandemic.
E
Basically,
there
was
a
project
to
enhance
the
system
to
ensure
that
it
would
continue
to
function
with
the
the
governor's
office.
Excuse
me:
governor's
finance
office,
budgeting
system,
the
nevada
executive,
budgeting
system
or
nebs,
and
basically
these
systems
need
to
continue
to
interface
properly,
so
there
was
a
project
to
ensure
that
would
happen
that
was
slightly
delayed.
So
again,
this
is
a
request
to
balance
forward
twenty
three
thousand
four
hundred
fifty
dollars
for
that.
E
E
This
project
will
replace
the
existing
30
year
old
system
with
with
a
new
system
that
will
basically
have
enhanced
functionality,
as
well
as
enable
better
data
collection
during
meetings
and
will
interface
with
the
existing
streaming
and
media
systems.
E
The
final
project-
oh
excuse
me,
that
that
request
consists
of
157
247
dollars
and
then
the
last
item
is
a
request
to
balance
forward
hundred
289
six
dollars
from
fiscal
year,
2021
to
2022
from
the
facilities
unit
of
the
administrative
division,
and
this
is
related
to
a
project
for
the
parking
garage
and
several
entrances
around
the
build
of
the
building.
E
E
If
there's
any
questions
related
to
these
three
items,
I
can
I
can
answer
those
now.
A
B
Thank
you,
trey
yeager.
I
was
just
curious.
How
much
funds
do
we
have
left
over
in
the
legislative
account
come
in
the
complete
account
overall,
I
know
we
usually
have
some
funds
we
carry
over,
so
we
can
not
have
to
always
be
asking
ifc
for
resources.
So
in
that
respect,
how
much
money
is
in
the
overall
account
the
legislature.
E
Again
for
the
record,
this
is
dan
russon
chief
financial
officer
lcb.
We
don't
have
that
number
paired
down
exactly
right
now,
as
we're
still
in
the
process
of
closing
the
fiscal
year
ending
june
30
2021,
we
do
have
definitely
have
a
positive
balance.
If
you
like,
I
could
I
could
get
an
exact
estimate
of
that
and
send
it
to
to
the
commission
members
via
email
later.
B
E
Well,
our
fund
balance,
of
course,
is,
is
classified
in
different
areas,
but
you
know
I
would
estimate
it
over
10
million.
I
would
think
at
this
point,
but
that
again,
that
would
be
a
rough
estimate.
E
A
lot
of
additional
closing
entries
that
we
we're
still
in
the
process
of
calculating
right
now.
D
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
on
the
the
first
item
that
for
the
fiscal
analysis
division.
I
know
that
had
to
be
delayed
for
the
basin
system
upgrades
when,
when
do
you
anticipate
that
those
will
be
complete.
E
E
C
Mr
chairman,
for
the
record,
this
is
sarah
kaufman
with
the
legislative
council
bureau.
Please
go
ahead.
If
I
may.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
through
you
to
senator
dennis
yes,
we
have
approximately
134
hours
remaining
and
we
expected
that
that
would
have
been
completed
in
2021.
However,
there
was
still
some
some
of
the
projects
that
needed
to
be
completed
in
2022.
C
I
don't
anticipate
it
going
much
further
than
fiscal
year
2022.,
so
we
we
should
be
getting
this
all
wrapped
up.
We
just
have
to
make
sure
that,
when
we're
testing
it
that
it's
it's
interfacing
correctly
with
the
the
neb
system,
which
had
a
significant
enhancement
last
biennium
as
a
result
of
the
smart
21
program,
so
that
all
kind
of
rolls
together.
D
Thank
you.
You
know
I
just
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
weren't
anticipating
any
any
issues
with
that
you
know
being
able
to
to
do
the
upgrades
that
we
need
to
in
order
to
do
the
interface,
but
you
haven't
seen
anything
that
would
indicate
that
we're
gonna
have
any
because
it
sounds
like
you've
already
done.
Some
of
it.
You
just
need
to
finish
it
up.
Is
that
correct.
C
Mr
chair,
through
you
senator
dennis
yes,
that
that
is
correct.
We
are
working
on
the
enhancements
for
our
system
now
in
terms
of
the
the
interfacing
for
nebs,
as
well
with
the
smart
21.
They
do
have
another
enhancement,
this
biennium,
that
was
approved
by
the
2021
legislature,
to
continue
their
upgrades
so
that
they
can
maintain
their
system.
C
So
once
everything
is,
is
compliant
or
or
or
compatible
with
each
other.
We
might
have
to
take
a
look
at
things
just
to
make
sure
that
they
all
work
together
again,
but
we
haven't.
We
haven't,
experienced
any
problems
thus
far.
D
Well,
hopefully,
that
they
get
their
part
done
and
they'll
talk
to
each
other.
So
thank
you.
The
second
question
I
had
had
to
do
with
broadcasts
and
production
services
on
the
upgrade
to
the
voting
system.
What
I
are
we
going
to
see
any
any
as
far
as
from
the
legislative
side,
when
we
vote,
is
it
going
to
look
any
different,
or
is
that
going
to
look
the
same
and
is
most
of
the
stuff?
That's
changing,
just
in
the
the
background
in
the
back,
the
back
language.
E
Or
whatever,
for
the
record,
this
is
dan,
russian
chief
financial
officer
lcb.
You
know,
as
far
as
the
operational
nature
of
the
voting
system
upgrade.
Unfortunately,
I'm
not.
You
know
knowledgeable
about
that.
If
there's
anybody
in
on
the
meeting
from
from
bps,
maybe
they'd
like
to
comment,
if
not,
I
could
certainly
get
some
information
from
the
unit
chief
and
and
forward
it
to
you
guys.
D
Yeah
yeah
nobody's
on
I
you
know
I'd
be
interested
just
because
I
I
remember
hearing
we
talked
about
this
before
that
there
was
going
to
be
the
upgrades,
and
I
just
I
don't
remember,
having
the
discussion
of
what
it
actually
is
going
to
look
like
the
the
upgrades
to
the
voting,
how
that's
going
to
work
so
if
somebody
could
get
that,
that
would
be
great.
Thank
you.
That's
all
the
questions
I
have,
mr
chairman,.
A
A
I
don't
see
anyone
with
a
hand
up
or
otherwise
unmuting
themselves,
so
at
this
time
I'd
be
looking
for
a
motion
to
approve
the
carry
forward
balances.
As
described
I
see
a
couple
of
hands.
I
saw
senator
dennis
with
the
hand
up
so
I'll.
Take
that
as
a
motion
I
saw
vicer
fryerson
with
a
hand
up.
I
will
take
that
as
a
second
any
discussion
on
the
motion
before
we
vote.
A
A
Thank
you,
mr
russian,
for
being
here
for
going
over
that
information
for
us
that
takes
us
to
agenda
item
4c,
which
is
amendments
to
rules
and
policies
of
the
legislative
council
bureau
concerning
employees
of
the
legislative
council
bureau,
and
we
have
miss
brenda
erdos
here
with
us
to
go
over
agenda
item.
4C.
Welcome
ms
erdos
and
please
proceed.
F
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
This
proposal
seeks
to
remove
the
specific
language
in
our
rules
that
authorizes
the
employee
of
the
quarter
program
which
we've
had,
for,
I
think,
the
last
15
or
20
years
and
replace
it
we'd
like
to
replace
it
with
authorization
to
come
up
with
other
programs
appropriate
to
encourage
our
employees
as
we
go
along
here
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
about
this.
It's
basically
the
most
general
language
that
we
could
come
up
with
to
to
allow
some
of
these
programs
to
be
put
forward
in
the
future.
A
B
Just
a
quick
question:
I
noticed
that
the
language
was
removed,
that
that
placed
limitations
on
the
amount
of
hours
and
the
the
the
mini.
How
many
times
an
employee
could
get
it
is.
Is
there
a
reason
for
that,
or
are
we
going
to
put
caps
on
that,
or
does
that
just
provide
you,
the
flexibility
that
you
need
to
do
other
programs.
F
Yes,
the
the
that
is
the
reason
that
we
that
we
took
it
out
with
those
specific
guidelines
in
there
and
anything
that
we
come
up
with
in
the
future.
We
would
be
intending
that
they
would
have
that
each
program
would
have
very
similar
limitations
to
ensure
that
the
that
the
program
you
know
works
for
a
wide
variety.
The
the
issue
that
we
came
have
run
up
against
with
this
existing
employee.
F
The
quarter
program
is
that
it
these
specific
things
that
are
in
there
how
many
times
the
employee
can
get
it.
The
the
number
of
them
are
applied
towards
a
wide.
You
know
all
five
divisions
and
and
a
couple
of
divisions
are
very
large,
comparatively
say
100
or
you
know
around
there.
Some
of
them
are
small
in
the
20s.
F
So
when
you
apply
these
very
specific
things
that
are
in
here
across
the
board,
it
really
isn't
a
very
equal
program
for
all
the
divisions,
so
we're
just
looking
to
get
a
little
better
proposals
on
the
table
to
to
that
might
be
a
little
bit
more
equal
for
all
of
the
divisions.
B
A
We
have
additional
questions
on
agenda
item
4c,
okay,
I'm
not
seeing
anyone
with
a
hand
up
I'm
not
hearing
anyone
unmuting
themselves.
So
this
time
I'd
be
looking
for
a
motion
to
approve
the
revisions
to
the
lcb
rules,
as
provided
in
our
packets
and
described
by
the
director,
a
motion
from
assemblyman
roberts.
I
saw
senator
candizaro
with
the
hand
up
so
we'll
give
her
the
second
any
discussion
on
the
motion.
A
A
A
That
now
takes
us
to
agenda
item
number
five,
which
is
appointments
of
members
to
committees
and
similar
entities,
commission
members
and
members
of
the
public.
We
do
have
recommended
appointments
for
most
of
these
in
our
packet,
with
a
couple
of
exceptions
that
we'll
get
to,
but
we'll
just
go
through
and
we'll
start
with
agenda
5
item
5a,
which
is
a
state
council
for
the
coordination
of
the
interstate
compact
on
educational
opportunities
for
military
children
and
you'll.
A
Note
in
the
packet
that
the
recommendation
there
is
assembly,
woman,
brittany
miller,
who
I
believe
has
been
on
that
council
and
according
to
the
letter,
has
I've
been
doing
a
really
great
job,
no
surprise
there.
So
at
this
time
I
would
be
looking
for
a
motion
to
approve
the
recommendation
of
assemblywoman
brittany
miller.
A
A
A
If
there's
anyone
in
opposition,
please
say
nay,
okay,
that
motion
carries
unanimously.
Thank
you.
Commission
that'll,
take
us
to
agenda
item
for
b,
which
is
the
southern
nevada
enterprise
community
board,
and
it
is
my
understanding.
Let
me
start
here
when
you
look
at
the
documents
that
are
in
the
packet.
We
have
a
recommendation
from
the
assembly
for
assemblywoman
danielle,
monroe
moreno.
A
We
don't
have
a
senate
recommendation
there,
but
it
is
my
understanding
that
senator
brooks
has
recently
resigned
from
this
community
board,
and
so
we
are
now
in
a
position
to
appoint
a
member
of
the
assembly
and
a
member
of
the
senate
as
well.
We
don't
have
a
senate
member
listed,
but
I
wanted
to
defer
to
a
senate
majority
leader
canazarro
to
provide
a
recommendation
for
the
senate
appointment,
so
senator
canozzaro,
please.
B
And
thank
you,
mr
chair.
We
would
be,
or
I
would
be,
making
a
motion
rather
to
recommend
the
appointment
of
senator
dina
neal
to
the
southern
nevada
enterprise.
A
B
Yes,
absolutely
we'd
love
to
include
assemblywoman,
danielle,
monroe,
moreno.
A
B
B
If
I
may
just
so
that
the
record
is
clear,
I
I
did
consult
with
at
least
some
of
the
members
of
the
assembly,
so
there's
not
an
impression
that
that
was
a
blanket
statement.
I
think
we
casually
talk
at
times,
so
there
at
least
was
some
discussion
both
with
the
the
you
know,
some
minority
members,
but
also
community
members,
and
I
think
that
the
statute
is
pretty
clear
that
the
the
appointment
is
made
in
consultation
with
members
of
the
community.
B
B
A
Thank
you
senator
hardy.
Is
there
anybody
else
who
has
any
discussion
on
the
motion.
A
A
Do
we
have
any
nays?
If
so,
please
say
day,
I
don't
hear
any
nays
and
I
just
want
to
know
for
the
record.
I
believe
senator
settlemyre
indicated
that
he
was
abstaining,
so
we
will
note
that
for
the
record,
I
don't
believe
anybody
else
had
abstained.
If
I'm
wrong
about
that,
please
let
me
know
it's
a
little
bit
more
difficult
on
zoom.
A
A
So
we
have
three
members
who
have
been
recommended
and
those
recommendations
come
from
organizations
or
entities
which
represent
or
promote
the
interests
of
minority
groups
in
the
state
and
you'll
see
that
the
recommended
nominees
are
e,
mercedes-krause,
amy,
emiko,
shaw
and
kathleen
taylor.
At
this
point,
I'd
be
looking
for
a
motion
to
appoint
the
three
members
as
detailed
in
the
packet
that
we
have
in
front
of
us
sure.
A
D
A
Thank
you
senator
dennis.
I
should
have
noted
that
as
well,
and
I
think
it's
it's
encouraging
when
members
get
reappointed,
because
I
think
it
shows
that
they're
doing
a
good
job
and
taking
it
seriously,
so
we
certainly
appreciate
their
public
service
and
their
willingness
to
do
another
term
on
the
commission
on
minority
affairs.
Any
further
discussion
on
the
motion.
A
A
So
traditionally,
this
appointment,
at
least
as
long
as
I
have
been
serving
the
legislature
usually
are
these
the
chairs
of
the
judiciary,
committee
or
other
designees
of
the
speaker
or
senate
majority
leader,
so
as
you'll
see
in
the
in
the
packet,
the
recommended
nominees
here
are
senate
majority
leader,
nicole
cannazzaro
and
myself,
and
so
I'll
be
looking
for
a
motion
to
approve
the
appointments
to
the
gaming
policy
committee.
A
A
B
A
A
We
are
to
provide
a
list
of
three
persons
from
which
one
member
of
the
nevada
commission
on
nuclear
projects
will
be
appointed
by
the
governor
and
if
you
scroll
through
your
packet
you'll
see
the
three
names
listed
there
to
forward
to
the
governor
for
his
appointment
would
be
frankie
sue
del
papa,
joseph
strollin
and
john
walker.
At
this
time,
I'd
be
looking
for
a
motion
to
send
those
three
nominations
to
the
governor.
A
A
A
And
you'll
see
on
the
packet
in
the
packet
that
you
have,
there
are
seven
recommended
nominees.
Let
me
just
go
ahead
and
list
them
out
for
the
record.
We
have
senator
dallas
harris
senator
melanie
schaible
assemblywoman
selena
torres
former
senator
valerie
weiner,
former
senator
joyce
woodhouse,
emily
espinoza
and
zan
okuda
lim
at
this
time.
I'll
take
a
motion
to
approve
the
seven,
the
appointment
of
the
seven
members
to
the
board
that
was
listed.
We
have
a
hand
up
from
senator
dennis
we
have
another
hand
up
from
assemblyman.
How
do
you
give
senator
dennis
the
motion?
A
A
B
A
Okay,
before
we
learn
anything
else
from
commission
members
this
morning,
I
don't
see
anything
else
again.
Thank
you
for
a
very
efficient
meeting.
It
wasn't
quite
as
quick
as
the
one
we
did
during
session
where
we
made
the
appointments,
but
I
think
it
might
be
in
second
place
in
terms
of
the
speed
of
the
meeting.
Obviously,
as
you
all
know,
veterans
of
this
committee
that
I'm
sure
future
meetings
are
going
to
be
a
little
bit
longer
with
more
in-depth
and
involved
regulations,
but
thank
you
for
making
this
first
one
an
easy
one.
