Here,
thank
you,
mr
malgarho
does
look
like.
We
have
a
quorum
welcome
to
our
audience
joining
us
remotely.
Before
we
begin,
I
would
like
to
take
a
moment
to
go
over
some
basic
housekeeping
items.
Please
be
sure
to
meet
your
microphone
when
you
are
not
speaking
to
minimize
the
background
noise
for
the
individuals
on
zoom,
the
the
chat
feature
is
only
to
be
used
to
request
technical
assistance
from
it
and
bps.
A
I
would
just
like
to
remind
presenters
and
members
and
anyone
who
is
on
zoom
not
to
communicate
using
the
chat,
feature
or
ask
questions
using
the
chat
feature.
It
is
only
again
to
be
used
for
requesting
technical
assistance.
Members,
please
remember,
to
keep
your
videos
on
during
the
meeting.
This
will
help
us
ensure
that
we
have
a
quorum
and
also
to
keep
your
microphones
muted
when
you
are
not
speaking.
A
Anyone
who
would
like
to
receive
electronic
notification
of
and
access
to
the
subcommittee's
agenda
minutes
and
final
report
can
do
so
by
going
to
the
nevada
legislators
website
and
following
the
links
provided
before
we
move
on
to
public
testimony.
I
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
introduce
our
three
new
non-voting
members
who
represent
the
general
public,
but
I
do
not
think
they
were
they
are
on
with
us.
A
So
if
they
jump
on
at
any
time
during
the
meeting
and
before
the
meeting's
over,
I
would
like
to
take
a
moment
to
introduce
our
non-voting
members
who
represent
the
public
for
those
of
you
who
sat
on
the
sunset
interim
committee
in
a
previous
interim.
They
will
be
familiar
to
you.
We
have
miss
hannah
brown,
mr
donald
chaney
and
terry
rankin,
who
will
be
joining
us
as
our
three
non-voting
members.
A
Okay
with
that,
I
would
say:
let's
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
our
first
agenda
item,
which
is
public
comments.
As
noted
on
the
agenda,
public
comment
will
be
limited
to
three
minutes
per
speaker
and
30
minutes.
At
the
beginning
of
the
meeting,
there
will
be
additional
time
periods
for
public
comment
at
the
end
of
the
meeting.
Today's
virtual
meeting
is
important
to
keep
everyone
safe,
and
I
want
the
public
to
know
that
there
are
four
different
manners
in
which
public
comment
can
be
made
one
by
calling
in
one
six,
six:
nine,
nine,
zero,
zero.
A
A
A
A
This
time,
okay,
thank
you
so
much
bps,
okay
committee
members.
Let's
move
on
to
our
next
agenda
item,
which
is
approval
of
the
minutes
for
the
meeting
on
january
26th,
2022
and
the
meeting
on
february
16
2022..
I
will
accept
a
motion
to
approve
the
mini
the
minutes
for
meeting
we'll
start
with
january
26.
2022..
Do
I
have
a
dummy?
Oh
perfect.
I
have
a
motion
from
vice
chair
spearman.
Do
I
have
a
second
second?
A
B
A
Handful
okay,
perfect:
I
am
in
grid
view,
so
I
can
see
all
of
our
members
members
all
those
in
favor
of
approving
the
minutes
from
january
26
to
2022,
please
signify
by
saying
I
and
raising
your
hand.
A
D
A
A
I
have
asked
the
representatives
of
the
secretary
of
state's
office
and
department
of
health
and
human
services
to
provide
us
with
a
brief
update
on
the
cooperative
agreement
required
by
section
44
of
assembly
bill
321.
I
would
like
to
remind
the
members
of
the
sunset
subcommittee
that
this
agenda
item
is
for
informational
purposes
only.
A
E
Good
ready
chair
vice
chair
and
other
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
mark
velasquez,
I'm
the
deputy
secretary
of
state
for
elections.
I
am
joined
by
our
chief
deputy,
mr
scott
anderson,
but
in
addition
to-
and
I
appreciate,
the
subcommittee
allowing
us
we're
joined
today
by
members
of
the
department
of
health
and
human
services,
specifically
miss
stephanie
herrera
who's,
our
primary
point
of
contact
in
regards
to
vital
records
and
the
transmission
between
agencies,
along
with
deputy
administrator
cody
finney
as
well.
So
I've
got
a
quick
four
slides.
E
E
Perfect
chair:
are
you
able
to
see
the
presentation
all
right.
E
Excellent,
thank
you.
Okay.
So,
as
mentioned,
my
name
is
mark
falashan,
again,
deputy
secretary
of
state
elections
for
the
record.
First,
a
little
bit
of
perspective
on
the
background
and
history
of
this
collaboration
between
the
office
of
vital
records
and
the
secretary
of
state
from
what
I
could
tell
it
started
back
in
2008,
at
least
with
the
establishment
of
an
administrative
code
in
nac
293.
E
This
was
specifically
added,
as
you
can
see
in
2008,
and
it
directed
initiated
that
comparison
of
the
statewide
voter
registration
list
to
the
the
vital
statistics
records
maintained
by
the
registrar
of
vital
statistics
since
then,
again
that
that
process
has
been
in
place.
But
following
the
2020
election
cycle
in
my
appointment
as
the
deputy
for
elections
in
october,
we
decided
that
you
know
it
was
probably
worth
revisiting
a
number
of
processes
and
in
fact
that
was
part
of
our
holistic
review
across
all
aspects
of
the
election
in
part.
E
To
ensure
that
again,
our
electorate
is
getting
the
most
effective,
cleanest
records
and
that
our
processes
and
procedures
are
good
and
continue
to
improve.
To
that
effect.
E
I
reached
out
to
ms
stephanie
herrera
who's
kind
enough
to
set
up
a
series
of
meetings,
and
we
discussed
a
number
of
factors,
including
a
significant
turnover
in
her
office,
significant
turnover
in
my
in
my
department
in
my
division,
the
elections
division,
specifically
the
fact
that
we,
for
example,
now
only
have
three
election
staff
members
who
are
with
us
during
the
2020
election
cycle.
So
these
these
kinds
of
concerns
that
we
identified
and
how
we
were
viewing,
not
only
the
processes
and
procedures
between
agencies,
but
also
the
way
forward.
E
E
Ultimately,
our
zero
dollar
contract
was
signed
in
july
of
2021
and
if
the
chair
and
the
members
do
not
have
a
copy,
we
can
certainly
make
that
available
upon
completion
of
this
presentation
today
that,
inter
that,
zero
dollar
contract
that
we
entered
into
between
the
two
agencies
really
codified.
E
A
lot
of
the
details
beyond
what
was
identified
in
that
regulation
and
make
sure
that
again,
if
there
is
continued
turnover
as
individuals
get
promoted
and
move
to
other
agencies
across
the
state
or
find
other
opportunities
that
these
these
vital
excuses,
fun,
vital
transmission
of
records
between
agencies
continues
unabated
without
any
issues
or
conflicts
simply
because
of
the
importance
to
to
its
part
in
the
process
and
to
our
elections,
see
here
in
2022
again,
even
as
recently
as
the
last
couple
months,
we've
continued
to
review
and
discuss
improvements.
E
This
is
not
something.
I
don't
want
the
committee
to
think
that,
once
we
had
a
zero
dollar
contract
done,
we
kind
of
wiped
our
hands
and
said
all
right.
We're
good
we've
obtained
perfection
and
moved
on
to
other
things.
We
have
since
continued
our
discussions
and
continue
to
discuss
specifics
about
how
we
could
continue
to
improve
the
process
going
forward.
E
There's
certainly
a
number
of
factors
that
we're
looking
at
looking
at,
not
only
in
2022,
but
even
considering
what
we
could
do
in
2023
and
beyond,
including
additional
revisions
to
that
zero
dollar
contract,
as
we
identify
new
ways
to
improve
it
and
make
it
even
better
most
recently.
In
fact,
this
was
about
just
a
little
over
a
month
ago
as
well
that
that
continued
review
and
discussion
resulted
in
a
modification
to
that
regulation
in
nac,
293
464.
E
and
in
fact,
one
of
the
most
recently
passed
regulations
on
february
28th
included
a
modification
that
now
requires
the
secretary
of
state
staff
to
to
review
on
a
monthly
basis.
The
the
process
as
well
and
I'll
go
into
a
tiny
bit
of
specifics
from
a
broad
perspective,
and
certainly,
ms
ferreira.
If
I
miss
anything
from
your
side,
please
don't
hesitate
to
add
it
in,
but
from
a
broad
perspective
on
a
daily
basis.
E
Now
the
office
of
vital
records
sends,
through
a
secure
process,
a
digital
transmission
of
the
individuals
who
have
passed
away
that
they're
made
aware
of-
and
this
is
really
once
only,
that
those
death
certificates
have
been
finalized.
Once
we
receive
that
information
to
the
state,
we
compare
it
to
the
statewide
voter
registration
list
identify
what
counties
individuals
live
in
who
are
on
that
list,
and
then
we
provide
that
information
to
the
17
county,
clerks
and
registrars
for
them
to
take
action
on.
E
They
again
have
different
processes,
specifically,
but
typically
within
a
few
days
of
receiving
that
information
we'll
go
ahead
and
cancel
that
individual's
voter
registration
upon
confirmation
that
that
individual
max
matches
the
names
and
their
records,
and
that
is
a
very
important
aspect
to
it.
If,
for
example,
we
received
a
record
that
simply
said
john
smith
passed
away,
there
may
be
a
number
of
john
smiths
and
we
certainly
don't
want
to
risk
disenfranchising
an
individual,
because
he
that
the
name
matches
somebody
else.
E
So
there
are
a
number
of
key
factors
and
points
data
points
that
we
look
for
to
ensure
that
the
right
record
is
cancelled.
The
most
recent
addition
and
modification
to
that
regulation
actually
now
stipulates
that
the
secretary
of
state's
office,
again
on
a
monthly
basis,
will
ensure
that
the
information
that
we've
provided
to
the
clerks
has
been
acted
upon
and,
if
not
again,
we
will
notify
them
and
look
into
why
to
see.
If
it
was
a
resource
issue
or
again,
it
was
a
conflict,
maybe
where
there
wasn't
enough
information
along
those
lines.
E
Way
forward
again
talked
about
it
briefly,
but
just
to
highlight
it
again:
continued
data
collection
and
process
analysis
through
this
election
cycle.
You
know
this
herrera,
her
team
and
ours
here
at
the
state.
The
secretary
of
state's
office
are
of
the
mindset
that
again
continuous
process
improvement
is
imperative
so
to
that
effect
again
as
we're
going
through
the
multitude
of
tasks
that
we
have
day-to-day,
we
are
keeping
in
the
back
of
our
minds
that
this
is
an
important
process,
but
one
that
may
well
be
improved
upon
as
well.
E
So
we
we're
keeping
the
lines
of
communication
open
and
we
talk
frequently
as
part
of
this
process,
and
then
I
mentioned
again
the
potential
updates
to
the
zero
dollar
contract
likely
in
january
of
2023
there's
a
number
of
contracts
that
we
have
to
revisit
at
that
point,
and
we
may
consider,
for
example,
revisiting
the
timeline
for
the
annual
transfer.
E
That
really
accommodates
the
brief
and
again
miss
herrera.
Unless
there's
anything
else
that
you'd
like
to
add
in.
A
F
Much
sharon
thank
you
for
following
up
and
providing
this
information,
and
and
thank
you,
deputy
velasco,
really
great
information,
it's
great
to
hear
that
the
processes
are
moving
forward
and
that
I
was
just
curious
and
I
don't
need
research.
I
don't
need
a
number,
but
just
your
thought
when
you
started
doing
the
cooperation
with
the
other
agencies
did,
did
you
find
that
there
was
like
a
significant
backlog
or
was
it
what
you
might
expect
you
know?
E
Yes,
ma'am
mark
velasco
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
I
was
happy
in
my
discussions
with
miss
herrera
to
find
that
she
was
of
a
similar
mindset
that
we
both
thought
well,
there
are
processes
in
place,
but
we
need
to
let's
look
critically
at
them
to
see
if
it's
being
as
effective
as
it
could
be,
we
did
identify
some
room
for
improvement
and
we
made
those
changes
in
regards
to
the
specific
backlog
at
the
county
level.
E
The
counties
again
were
provided
information
that
they
had
that
we
received
that
again
came
over
from
the
office
of
vital
records,
so
the
backlog
wasn't
really
much
of
a
question
at
the
county
level
per
se,
some
of
them
again
at
the
time
it
varied
between
a
couple
days
or
maybe
even
a
week
or
so
before
they
were
able
to
act
upon
those
records.
E
Really,
I
think
the
the
part
that
caught
me
off
guard
that
I
just
simply
wasn't
aware
of
it
is
again
in
my
discussions
with
miss
herrera,
I've
learned
quite
a
bit
about
the
the
death
certificate
process.
Again,
it's
not
a
backlog,
that's
her
fault
or
her
team's
fault
either,
but
there
is
a
timely.
E
You
know
it's
not
that
the
coroners,
the
morticians,
the
funeral
home
directors,
not
the
family
members
of
the
deceased,
but
there
is
a
a
bit
of
a
lag
and
mr
perhaps
would
you
mind
kind
of
talking
about
that
timeline
a
little
bit
just
to
explain
some
of
the
the
process
I
was
under
the
impression
when
an
individual
died,
their
death
certificate
would
be
available,
probably
within
48
hours,
that
we
might
at
the
state,
get
it
within
96
hours.
E
But
but
I
found
that
there
are
situations
where
death
certificates
are
amended
numerous
times
where
social
security
numbers,
even
even
when
someone
passes
you
know,
surrounded
by
their
family
members,
their
social
security
number
may
not
be
available
and
that
can
result
in
delays
in
some
cases,
weeks
or
months.
Even
before
that
record
gets
us
the
state
and
we're
able
to
pass
it
to
the
county.
F
Yes,
thank
you
stephanie
herrera,
for
the
record.
Yes,
so
there
is
sometimes
some
delays
due
to
numerous
factors
of
we
require
the
information
be
entered
from.
Numerous
entities
like
he
was
saying:
funeral
directors.
Sometimes
it's
coroner
cases.
F
Our
system
also
is
an
older
system,
so
we
are
working
on
on
an
upgrade
for
that
system,
which
makes
it
a
little
difficult,
sometimes
for
the
doctors
and
them
to
get
into
our
system,
especially
if
they're
only
signing
a
couple
records
a
year.
So
we
do
have
continuous
training.
We
have
videos,
we
did.
We
were
doing
in
person
training,
but
now
with
covid.
It's
all
you
know
virtual,
but
we
really
have
worked
trying
to
get
this
and
find
out
where
our
lags
are,
where
the
training
needs
to
be.
F
F
A
A
Okay
committee
members,
we
can
now
move
on
to
our
next
agenda
item
was,
which
is
agenda.
Item
number
five
agenda.
Item
number
five
gives
the
subcommittee
the
opportunity
to
consider
the
councils
and
committees
listed
on
our
agenda
for
review
today.
These
four
entities
were
selected
by
members
of
the
subcommittee
at
our
january
meeting.
I
would
like
to
remind
the
committee
members
that
by
statute
the
council
or
committee
has
the
burden
of
proving
that
there
is
a
public
need
for
its
continued
existence.
A
It
is
my
understanding
that
we
have
a
representative
from
every
council
or
committee
here
who
will
provide
us
a
brief
overview.
These
individuals
will
also
be
available
to
answer
questions
from
the
members
of
this
committee.
All
of
the
documents
are
available
online
on
the
subcommittee,
the
subcommittee
meetings
page
as
well
with
that
members
we
can
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
our
first
presentation,
which
is
a
review
of
the
advisory
council
on
science,
technology,
engineering
and
mathematics,
also
known
as
stem
director
mitchell
and
miss
howard
from
the
office
of
science.
A
G
Good
morning,
chair
hattagy
and
members
of
the
committee,
thank
you
for
having
me
today.
My
name
is
brian
mitchell,
I'm
the
director
of
the
office
of
science,
innovation
and
technology,
and
I'm
here
to
present
on
the
stem
advisory
council.
G
The
stem
advisory
council
was
created,
and
oh
and
excuse
me
with
me
today
is
tracy
howard,
who
is
our
director
of
stem
programs,
and
I
thank
her
for
for
being
present
today.
G
G
The
mission
of
the
stem
advisory
council
is
to
increase
student
interest
and
achievement
in
the
fields
of
science,
engineering,
technology
and
mathematics,
leading
students
to
rewarding
careers
in
the
new
nevada
economy.
The
members
of
the
council
are
as
follows:
there
are
three
governor
appointees,
eight
legislative
appointees
and
four
ex-officio
members
from
the
department
of
education
from
the
governor's
office
of
economic
development,
from
the
nevada
system
of
higher
education
and
from
the
department
of
employment,
training
and
rehabilitation.
G
The
qualifications
for
members
are,
they
must
find
they
must
fit
into
one
of
three
categories,
either
being
a
stem
teacher
and
I
apologize,
I
should
have
defined
stem
at
the
beginning.
So
stem
is
the
acronym
for
science,
technology,
engineering
and
math.
So
a
a
member
of
this
council
must
either
be
a
stem
teacher,
a
stem
either
k-12
school
or
higher
education
administrator
or
a
stem
business
person.
G
Prepare
a
report
to
the
legislature,
conduct
surveys
and
make
recommendations
to
the
office
of
economic
development
and
funding
exists
for
travel
for
meetings,
but
no
other
funding
is
is
provided
to
carry
out
any
of
the
other
duties
of
council.
G
Briefly,
I
just
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
challenges
that
the
council
has
had
over
the
years.
First
challenge
I'll
mention
briefly,
is
with
regard
to
appointments
and
having
a
quorum.
The
the
council
over
the
years
we've
had
a
lot
of
difficulty
with
obtaining
the
necessary
number
of
appointments,
and
for
quite
a
while.
G
If
you
know
we
got
to
the
point
where,
if
one
member
was
was
absent
or
unable
to
attend
a
meeting
that
we
didn't
have
a
quorum
and
so
that
that
necessitated
rescheduling
a
lot
of
meetings.
The
last
minute.
G
Therefore,
it's
been
it's
been
very
difficult
to
schedule
meetings.
If
a
teacher
has
other
duties,
such
as
clubs
or
or
meetings
with
parents
or
whatnot,
they
are
often
at
times
unable
to
attend
meetings
after
school
either,
and
we
don't
have
funding
in
our
budget
to
provide
substitutes
for
for
teachers.
G
Another
issue
has
been
the
required
in
twice
yearly
in-person
meetings
that
the
statute
requires
just
with
the
school
year,
there's
very
few
times
of
the
year
that
actually
work
to
hold
an
in-person
meeting
and
for
many
teachers
scheduling
a
meeting
during
their
summer.
Vacation
is
difficult
because
most
teachers
have
that
planned
with
either
time
away
from
school
or
in
professional
development.
G
Another
thing
I'll
mention
about
the
council
is
that
there's
there
right
now,
there's
a
there's,
really
a
lack
of
a
clear
mission
and
and
clear
authority
for
what
the
council
is
supposed
to
do.
No,
no
one
on
the
council
is
full-time.
The
council
meets
bi-monthly
for
about
an
hour,
and
so
it's
it
can
be
difficult
to
to
get
any
real
work
done
by
the
members
of
the
council.
Most
of
the
the
workload
falls
to
staff
outside
of
council
meetings.
G
The
council
doesn't
have
any
regulatory
authority
and,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
doesn't
have
a
budget.
The
the
members
of
the
council
are
also,
in
general,
very,
very
general
generalists
when
it
comes
to
stem
and
and
the
staff
at
the
office
of
science,
innovation
and
technology.
We
have
found
that
it
is,
has
been
more
effective
to
establish
ad
hoc
committees
with
subject
matter
experts
in
a
particular
area
to
to
work
on
on
different
projects.
G
The
final
thing
I'll
mention
is
that
the
statute
is
fairly
rigid
when
it
comes
to
some
of
the
some
of
the
duties
of
the
council,
for
example,
with
regard
to
the
recognition
events,
we're
required
to
hold
region-wide
recognition,
events
for
students
in
in
northern
and
southern
nevada,
and
I
think
that
was
probably
a
good
idea
in
2015
when
the
when
the
legislature
enacted
the
statute.
G
However,
what
we
found
is
as
we've
as
we've
learned
more
and
as
we've
examined
the
research
that
it's
much
more
effective
to
have
school-based
recognition,
events
for
students,
you
know
that
really
bring
together
the
school
community
at
the
school
site.
It's
there's
less
distance
for
parents
to
travel
and
and
and
much
less
logistics
on
to
set
up
a
a
large
region-wide
recognition
event
where
many
families
may
not
have
transportation
to
a
central
location
like
unlv
or
csn.
G
And
so
you
know
there
are
a
number
of
challenges
I
think
in
in
in
in
in
the
council
members
who,
who
again
all
have
day
jobs
and
don't
necessarily
have
time
to
do
things
like
research
or
plan,
large
recognition,
events
or
or
right
right,
strategic
plans.
So
with
that,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions,
and
that
concludes
my
remarks.
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
presentation.
I
am
going
to
go
to
the
members
first
members
and
and
mr
maldorado.
I
just
wanted
to
know
on
the
record
that
we
do
have
member
terry
rankin
now
present
with
us.
So
we
can
mark
her
here.
Committee.
C
F
You
I
have
a
couple
of
questions,
so
I
was
looking
over.
I've
been
working
with
some
other
committees
and
what
I
found
is
that
a
lot
of
people
that
serve
on
the
committee
have
expired
terms
and
they
haven't
been
reappointed
and
or
in
your
case.
What
I'm
hearing
is
that
you
don't
have
enough
members
to
fill
the
positions.
F
G
Thank
you,
senator
lange,
brian
mitchell,
for
the
record.
Edo
said
the
so
we've
always
had
challenges
getting
appointments
and
the
when
one
of
the
members
of
the
committee,
either
their
appointment,
expires
or
if
they
they
move
or
change
jobs.
It's
they're
they're
frequently
been
vacancies
for
a
long
term.
G
The
one
of
the
things
that
we
worked
out
with
former
lcd
director
rick
combs,
is
that
the
the
terms
of
the
members
of
the
committee,
since
it
is
not
specified
in
statute,
would
last
for
three
years,
which
would
reduce
the
amount
of
times
we
need
to
come
to
the
legislature
and
ask
for
for
appointments,
and
so
the
there
are
still
some
sub
vacancies
on
me
on
the
committee
and
and
some
of
the
some
of
the
committee
members
are,
I
believe,
are
coming
up
on
on
expiration.
G
G
You
know
I've
had
that
discussion
with
you
know
with
a
couple
of
the
members,
and
I
think
we're
not
at
this
time
ready
with
any
ideas
that
you
know
of
changes
that
could
be
made
or
prepared
to
make
any
recommendations
in
that
regard.
You
know
it's
a
difficult
question,
but
one
that
we're
we're
thoughtfully.
Considering
because,
as
we
know,
stem
education
is
extremely
important
to
prepare
our
our
children,
for
you
know,
for
their
future
and
in
our
workforce.
G
I
will
say
that
I
think
we've
had
more
success,
as
I
mentioned
before,
with
gathering
you
know
what
could
be
termed,
as
is
ad
hoc
committees,
to
work
on
a
very
specific
project.
All
and
I'll
give
you
an
example.
G
We
we
assembled
a
a
group
of
of
individuals
who
have
a
particular
expertise
in
informal
stem
education
and
informal
stem
education
is,
is
education
that
could
occur
either
inside
school
after
school
hours
or
or
at
or
perhaps
today,
at
an
after
school
club
or
on
on
a
saturday,
and
and
we
worked
with
them
to
put
together
some
different
resources
and
toolkits
that
could
help
after
school
stem
or
informal
stem
program
providers
have
higher
quality
programs,
and-
and
so
that
was
a
group
that
worked
together
for
a
couple
of
months
and
and
the
work
culminated
in
a
in
a
in
a
toolkit
that
that
we
are
now.
G
Shopping
around
or
or
taking
around
and
and
to
different
providers
to
help
them
improve
the
quality
of
their
programs.
So
things
like
that,
I
think
I
think
much
of
the
good
work
is
continuing.
It's
just
continuing
outside
of
these
kind
of
the
formal
structure
of
the
council.
F
So,
for
instance,
in
like
there
are
two
members
appointed
by
the
senate
too
by
the
assembly?
Do
you
think
it
would
be
better
if
there
was
one
person
appointed
and
one
person
was
an
alternate
so
that
you'd
have
more
access
to
people
being
at
the
meetings.
G
The
brian
mitchell
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
I
think
the
a
general
rule
of
having
having
administered
a
number
of
different
councils
and
task
forces
and
committees
at
the
state.
G
I
think,
as
a
general
rule,
the
bigger
the
committee,
the
the
more
difficult
it
can
be
to
get
things
done,
and
so
certainly
you
know
I
what
what
I
think
hurts
the
council
is
that
it
has
a
very
broad
and
ill-defined
mission
and
therefore,
when
you
appoint
people,
the
people
that
are
appointed
may
not
be
the
right
people
to
tackle
the
whatever
specific
problem
that
is
is
going
on
in
stem
at
that
very
moment,
and
so
there's
not
a
lot
of
flexibility,
then
to
bring
other
people
on.
G
G
And
then
you
know,
but
you
can't
have
a
council
meeting
unless
they're
present
because
they're
they
they're
the
formal
members,
and
so
it
it
it's
a
it's
a
bit
of
a
tough
situation.
F
G
Yeah
brian
mitchell,
for
the
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
the
question
the
so.
With
the
with
the
regional
events
they're,
there
is
funding
to
reserve
a
space.
If,
if,
if
necessary,
we
don't
have
any
funding
for
things
like
like
food
or
beverage
at
those
recognition.
G
Events
which
is,
as
you
know,
is
extremely
important
to
getting
families
and
schools
to
come
come
to
an
event,
and
so
in
the
past,
what
we've
done
is
we've
partnered,
with
a
a
place
like
a
like
a
school
of
higher
education,
to
provide
us
with
a
space
and,
and
then
we've
done
some
little
paper
certificates
for
the
for
the
students
who
participate.
F
Okay
and
then
you
said
that
you
don't
have,
because
you
have
no
budget,
you
don't
have
any
way
to
get
people
to
an
in-person
meeting
or
to
pay
for
substitutes
for
educators.
That
need
to
be
out
of
the
classroom.
Is
that
correct.
G
Brian
mitchell,
for
the
record,
if
I
can
clarify
what
I
said
earlier,
there
is
funding
for
travel
to
an
in-person
meeting
to
the
two
in-person
meetings
per
year,
but
that
funding
is
for
for
travel
purposes,
and
so
it
it.
It
has
been
very
difficult
to
schedule
those
in-person
meetings,
because
principals
are
hesitant
to
let
their
good
stem
teachers
come
out
of
the
classroom
to
go
to
attend
a
meeting
if
the
meeting
was
in
the
other.
G
If
the
meeting
was
in
reno
and
they
happened
to
be
a
clark,
county's
education,
teacher,
the
in
the
past,
there
have
been
there
in
the
past,
there
have
been
difficulties
getting
substitutes,
but
right
now,
as
I
think
as
most
of
you
know,
that
the
there's
a
there's
a
there's,
a
very
acute
shortage
of
substitutes
and
and
so
where
you
know
we're
not
able
to
hold
those
meetings
at
any
other
time.
F
Okay,
and
is
that
a
pot
of
money
for
travel,
because
my
because
we've
all
used
gotten
used
to
using
zoom
so
couldn't
that
money
that
pot
of
money
be
used
to
pay
for
substitutes?
If,
if
in
fact,
you
could
do
substitutes,
I
would
assume
that
your
meeting
can
be
in
person
and
zoom.
Just
like
we're.
We
do
a
lot
of
times.
G
Where
is
it
travel
only
brian
mitchell?
For
the
record,
the
the
council
is
required
to
hold
in
statute.
The
council
is
required
to
hold
six
meetings
per
year
and
two
in-person
meetings,
so
these
so
the
other
meetings
could
be
held
via
zoom
or
via
video
conference
or
telephone.
G
A
Chair,
thank
you
senator
lang.
I
appreciate
all
those
questions
you
actually
asked
a
few
of
mine
so
that
worked
out.
I
I'm
gonna,
do
a
quick
check
with
the
committee
to
see
if
they
have
any
other
questions
before
I
ask
mine,
assemblywoman
kasama.
F
G
Assembly,
women,
because
I'm
a
brian
mitchell
for
the
record,
the
the
office
of
science,
innovation
technology-
is
an
office
of
the
governor
and
is
not
within
the
department
of
education
and
what
I
refer
to
the
workload
falling
to
staff,
I'm
referring
to
our
staff
and
miss
howard
who's
who's
on
the
on
the
call
with
us
is
the
is
the
only
staff
person
to
do
that.
That
is
dedicated
to
this.
Typically
in
meetings.
G
You
know
we'll
have
some
agenda
items
and
some
presentations,
but
there's
you
know
with
only
about
an
hour
or
so
to
meet
every
other
month.
It's
there's
not
a
whole
lot
of
work
that
happens
during
the
committee
meetings,
and
so
it's
typically
that
falls
to
either
to
heard
myself
in
between
committee
meetings.
F
So
the
science
technology
and
innovation
office
is
to
promote
stem
for
students,
and
then
we
have
this
council
that
was
added
on
top
of
it.
In
your
opinion,
is
it
needed?
Are
you
are
you
able
to
provide
the
focus,
and
you
know
the
attraction
to
students
through
your
office
without
the
addition
of
the
council?
Are
you
doing
it
anyway?
Is
it
sufficient,
and
do
you
think
this
this
council
is
needed
anymore.
G
Assemblywoman
kasama
brian
mitchell,
for
the
record,
the
I'm
not
prepared
today
to
you,
know
to
render
a
judgment
on
the
council
like
like
that.
However,
what
I
will
say
is
is
that
that,
as
we
as
a
as
an
office
have
evolved
and
adjusted
our
our
programs
and
our
offerings
that
and
our
support
and
assistance
that
we
provide
to
schools
and
to
higher
ed
over
the
years
as
we've
continued
to
you
know,
learn
what
the
best
practices
are
in
stem
education.
G
We
have
a
number
of
different
programs
and
and
offerings
that
are
that
that
are
administered
independently
of
the
of
the
council
and
and
have
and
have
a
number
of
very
strong
programs
that
that
are
providing
a
lot
of
great
support
to
the
teachers
and
students
throughout
our
state
and
as
the
as
we've
struggled
to
get
quorums
the
you
know,
the
work
of
our
office
doesn't
stop
and
and
most
of
what
we
would
do
in
a
in
a
committee
meeting
would
be
just
to
report
to
the
committee
on
some
of
the
some
of
the
work
that
we've
been
doing.
A
Thank
you,
members.
A
Okay,
I
do
have
a
couple
of
questions
for
you,
mr
mitchell,
and
just
I
know
that
you
had
mentioned
that
you're
required
by
statute
to
have
six
meetings
a
year.
Four
can
be
virtual,
but
two
have
to
be
in
person
how
many
of
those
meetings
were
actually
able
to
take
place
in
2021.
G
The
we
were
still
struggling
with
appointments
in
2020
and
so
the
counts,
and
then
between
that
and
the
pandemic,
the
council
did
not
meet
at
2020.
A
That
answers
my
that
answers
actually
one
of
the
questions
I
had
because
I
know
that
you're
required
by
statutory,
sending
a
bank
annual
report
to
the
legislature-
and
I
think
you
guys
sent
one
in
in
2019,
but
we
didn't
receive
one
for
2021,
but
I
I
guess
now.
We
know
why
there
was
no
meetings
or
nothing
to
report
on,
but
now
I
know
that
eight
of
the
seats
have
to
be
legislative
recommendations.
A
Do
you
think
if
there
was
a
statutory
change
to
make
those
recommendations
come
from
the
office
of
oh
set
instead
of
the
legislature?
Do
you
think
that
would
help
fill
those
appointments,
because
you've
had
eight
vacancies
for
a
while
and
because
you've
been
waiting
on
recommendations
from
the
legislature?
Do
you
think
if
there
was
a
statutory
change
to
say
that
the
recommendations
should
come
from
your
office?
Instead?
That
would
help
with
appointments
and
having
members
who
would
actually
fit
the
mission
of
the
committee
and
show
up
or.
G
I'm
mitchell
for
the
record.
I
may
I
ask
a
clarifying
question:
are
you?
Are
you
suggesting
that
that
osit
would
be
the
entity
that
would
make
the
appointments
or.
A
Not
make
the
appointments
or
make
the
recommendations
to
the
advisory
council
because,
right
now
the
appointments
or
the
recommendations
for
the
appointments
have
to
come
from
the
legislature,
and
so,
if
those
recommendations
came
through
oh
set,
instead.
G
So
right,
brian
mitchell,
for
the
record,
the
currently
the
appointments,
the
the
legislature
has
the
appointing
of
authority
for
those,
and
so
in
the
past
we
have
provided
a
a
list
of
potential
appointees
to
legislative
leadership,
and
you
know
in
case
that's
helpful
at
all,
for
you
know
for
members
and
making
their
appointments,
as
I
know
that
you
know,
there's
such
that
the
the
appointees
have
to
come
from
such
a
small
and
narrow
community,
a
niche
community,
and
so
we've
provided
those
recommendations
in
the
past
and
the
legislature.
G
The
legislative
leadership
has
typically
picked
someone
from
one
of
those
from
the
list
that
we've
provided.
Certainly
if
we,
if,
if,
instead
of
having
the
legislature,
choose
from
the
list,
if
osid
would
choose
from
the
and
and
and
make
the
appointments
itself,
then
that
would
definitely
speed
up
the
process.
A
When
was
the
last
time
you
sent
a
recommendation
list
to
the
legislature.
A
Okay,
so
we
have
we've.
Had
we
haven't
okay,
so
we
haven't
had
a
list
to
choose
from
then
over
the
last
two
years
for
to
make
appointments
from
your
office.
A
Okay,
thank
you
so
much,
mr
mitchell,
miss
howard
for
being
here
to
answer
our
questions
and
present.
We
appreciate
it.
I
think
if
we
members,
if
you
have
any
other
questions,
please
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
them.
If
anything
comes
up
after
today's
meeting.
Thank
you.
A
A
C
C
D
Matter
that
have
been
posted
in
part
of
the
agenda
under
public
comment
and
with
that
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
your.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Can
everyone
see
that
presentation.
I
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
record
scott
kerry,
I'm
the
stadium
with
the
nevada
division
of
state
lands.
I
wanted
to
just
very
quickly
begin
the
presentation
today
by
providing
a
quick
overview
of
the
state
land
use
planning
agency.
I
Part
of
my
role
here
with
the
state
is
I
manage
the
state
landings
planning
agency
the
agency's
been
around
for
roughly
50
years,
and
it's
housed
here
within
the
division
of
state
lands.
The
purpose
of
the
the
agency
is
to
provide
technical
assistance
to
local
government
planning
departments
throughout
the
state.
The
big
role
that
the
agency
plays
is
that
it
helps
foster
collaboration
and
communication
amongst
local
governments
and
the
state
on
federal
state
and
local
land
use
planning
issues
that
are
of
interest
to
the
state
and
its
communities.
I
The
agency
serves
as
staff
to
the
state
land
use
planning,
advisory
council
or,
as
we
call
it,
slupac
flu
pack
is
really
the
only
governor
appointed
state
board
or
commission
in
the
state
that
has
a
representative
a
voting
representative
from
each
of
the
17
counties
and
the
nevada
indian
commission.
We
also
have
representatives
from
the
nevada
association
of
counties
and
the
nevada
league
and
municipalities
and
cities.
I
This
slew
pack
meets
quarterly
and
they
get
together
in
different
areas
around
the
state
and
it
provides
an
opportunity
for
the
different
jurisdictions
to
share
updates
about,
what's
going
on
in
their
area
of
the
state
and
as
well
as
a
collective
body
to
weigh
in
on
a
landy's
planning
policy
or
activities
that
are
on
a
statewide
basis.
The
slupac
executive
council
is
comprised
of
four
members
who
are
appointed
from
the
slow
pack
body
as
a
whole.
I
I
When
this,
when
this
bill
is
being
debated,
it
was
senator
joe
neal
from
the
city
of
north
las
vegas,
who
requested
the
specific
power
to
resolve.
Landing's
inconsistencies,
inconsistencies,
senator
neal,
basically
wanted
slupac
and
the
state
itself
to
have
a
role
in
providing
technical
assistance,
mediation
and,
if
needed,
resolve
local
landings
and
consistency
between
local
governments.
I
I
This
subcommittee
reviewed
the
executive
council
and
recommended
its
continuance
along
with
some
changes.
Those
changes
ultimately
came
in
the
form
of
ab
144,
which
added
the
requirement
that
the
members
of
the
executive
council
be
from
different
geographic
regions
from
around
the
state.
It
also
removed
the
executive
council
from
the
state
area
of
critical
environmental
concern
or
acec
planning
process.
I
Now
the
purpose
of
the
executive
council
is
to
upon
request,
provide
technical
assistance,
mediation
conduct,
public
hearings
and,
if
needed,
resolve
land
use
inconsistencies
between
local
governments,
basically
how
this
process
would
work,
because
if
a
request
came
in
the
state
landings
planning
agency
would
receive
that
request.
We
would
study
the
request
and
work
with
the
state
lands
administrator
to
provide
technical
assistance
to
come
up
with
the
resolution
of
that
issue.
If
the
issue
cannot
be
resolved
at
that
stage,
the
matter
would
then
be
forwarded
to
the
executive
council.
I
I
The
current
members
of
the
executive
council
are
charlie,
donahue
who's,
our
state
lands
administrator,
sammy,
real
who's,
the
planning
manager
for
clark
county
jim
barby,
who
is
the
county
manager
for
churchill,
county
county
commissioner,
jim
french,
from
humboldt
county
and
lorinda
wickman
who's.
The
natural
resources
director
from
nye
county,
the
current
two-year
terms
for
these
members
of
the
council
expire
at
the
end
of
may,
but
slupac
is
scheduled
to
meet
on
june
3rd
and
we'll
consider
appointments
to
the
executive
council
at
this
meeting.
I
Basically,
in
conclusion,
we
believe
that
the
current
members
of
the
executive
council
have
a
wealth
of
knowledge
and
experience
with
land,
these
planning
issues
here
in
nevada
that
they
would
be
able
to
carry
out
its
role.
Furthermore,
we
believe
that
the
state
land
use
planning
agency
does
possess
the
technical
knowledge
that
is
needed
to
study
a
landing
ladies
planning
issue
and
help
resolve
the
landings
and
help
resolve
that
issue.
Given
this,
we
believe
that
the
slimpack
executive
council
would
be
able
to
carry
out
its
statutory
duties,
if
requested
by
a
local
government.
I
A
Thank
you
so
much.
I
appreciate
both
of
you
being
here
to
give
us
a
presentation
and
answer
questions.
As
always,
I
am
going
to
turn
to
our
members
of
the
committee
first
for
questions.
I
do
want
to
let
the
committee
members
know
that
there
was
four
letters
of
support
submitted
under
public
comment
in
support
of
this
executive
committee.
A
Okay,
mr
donahue,
mr
carrier,
doesn't
look
like
the
committee.
Members
have
questions,
and
so
I
just
have
one
just
for
clarification
purposes.
So
the
executive
council
was
created
in
1977
and
it's
only
required
to
meet
whenever
there
is
a
dispute.
So
has
the
executive
committee
ever
had
to
meet
to
resolve
a
conflict.
I
I'll
take
that
one
man
chair
for
the
record.
This
is
this-
is
scott
carey,
to
our
knowledge
that
the
council
has
never
been
formally
convened
to
resolve
a
local
landing's
inconsistency.
I
We
do
have
records
in
our
office
that
indicate
that
the
council
was
informally
called
upon
to
act
on
a
looking
at
a
state
area
of
critical
environmental
concern
back
in
the
70s,
with
walker
lake
and
recently
in
the
2000s
of
grover
valley.
But
this
council
has
never
been
requested
to
meet
on
a
local
land.
Is
inconsistency
issue.
A
Okay,
thank
you,
and
I
I
do
want
to
thank
those
who
submitted
the
letters
of
support
because
I
think
for
me
they
were
very
beneficial
and
and
making
a
case
for
for
the
executive
council.
So
thank
you
to.
I
know
we
have
received
one
from
the
league
of
cities
from
naco
as
well
and
a
couple
of
others,
so
I
just
want
to
thank
them
for
sending
in
their
letters
of
support
and
of
the
executive
council.
With
that.
Thank
you
for
your
presentation.
It
doesn't
look
like
any
of
the
committee.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
chair.
Okay,
thank
you.
Okay
committee
members.
We're
moving
right
along.
It
looks
like
our
third
committee
under
agenda
item
five
to
review.
Is
the
committee
for
the
statewide
alert
system,
so
the
sunset
subcommittee
has
previously
reviewed
the
committee
for
the
statewide
alert
system
in
2014.
A
The
subcommittee
voted
to
recommend
continuation
with
some
statutory
changes,
one
to
authorize
the
committee
to
apply
for
grants
to
establish
an
account
in
the
general
fund
to
receive
gifts,
grants
and
donations
and
to
expend
the
funds
from
the
account
for
its
its
purposes
and
to
authorize
reimbursement
for
non-agency
representatives
for
expenses
related
to
service
to
the
committee.
If
funds
were
available,
I
do
believe
we
have
ms
serena
here
to
give
us
an
overview
of
the
committee
and
answer
any
questions.
J
J
Our
committee
consists
of
15
members.
Five
of
those
are
local
law
enforcement
agency
representatives.
Five
of
them
are
state
law
enforcement
agency
representatives.
We
do
have
one
member
that
is
a
nevada
emergency
alert
system
representative,
one
that
is
a
nevada
broadcaster
association
representative
one
member
of
the
department
of
public
department
of
transportation.
J
We
do.
We
also
have
an
advocate
for
the
missing
and
exploited
children,
that's
appointed
as
well,
and
one
representative,
that's
a
representative
for
the
public
at
large.
At
this
time
we
do
not
have
all
of
our
all
of
our
representatives.
All
of
our
spots
filled,
unfortunately,
with
covid
and
law
enforcement
and
the
huge
turnover
and
our
law
enforcement.
J
We.
I
was
just
told
very
recently
that
I'm
the
chair
that
this
information
supposed
to
come
from
the
governor's
office-
and
I
was
just
informed
that-
and
so
I
do
not
have
a
complete
background.
What
I
can
say
is
what
our
committee
does
do.
Is
we
oversee
the
statewide
alert
system
for
the
safe
return
of
abducted
children?
J
Just
to
give
you
a
little
more
insight,
what
with
me
being
the
communications
manager
for
the
state,
what
I
do,
because
I'm
I'm
intimately
familiar
with
every
single
alert
that
goes
out.
I
have
to
approve
it
myself,
so
I
think
that's
probably
where
they
put
me
as
a
chair.
We
have
not
had
meetings
since
2020.
J
J
We
are
we
work
in
close,
close
contact
with
all
the
state
police,
all
local
police
agencies
and
our
broadcasters
association.
So
we
do
not
have
formal
meetings
as
much
as
we
communicate
all
the
time,
but
we
do
need
to
get
back
on
track
with
having
the
formal
meetings
that
is
required
by
us.
J
I
don't
really
have
a
lot
to
say
on
it
and
I
apologize
for
that
again.
I
was
just
recently
told
that
I
was
going
to
be
doing
this,
so
if
you
would
like
to
answer,
ask
any
questions.
I
appreciate
it.
A
Thank
you,
mr
arena.
Now
we
appreciate
you
being
here
getting
thrown
into
it
so
quickly,
so
we
do
have
some
questions
for
you,
I'm
going
to
start
with
senator
lane.
A
F
You,
ms
serena,
I
am
curious
how
you
reach
out
to
find
board
members,
because
this
seems
to
be
a
consistent
issue
with
all
of
our
boards
that
we
have
in
our
state
that
I've
heard
from
so
far
is
that
we
can't
get
people
to
fill
the
positions
and
is
it
a
problem
with?
We
don't
have
someone
that
takes
the
lead
to
reach
out
to
people.
I
mean
I'm
just
trying
to
figure
out
what
how
how
we
can
make
it
better.
J
Thank
you,
senderling
sonya
serena,
for
the
record
we
have
10
of
our
members,
are
actually
appointed
by
the
governor
and
the
governor's
office,
and
that's
who
does
the
appointments?
We
honestly
don't
have.
Control
of
it
and
the
ten
that
are
appointed
by
the
governor
are
all
the
law
enforcement
agencies
and
members.
F
So
is
there
a
time
where,
like
I,
I
we
have
a
lot
of
boards
in
our
state
and
I'm
just
trying
to
figure
out
to
have
the
governor's
office
solicit
and
find
board
members
for
all
these
committees
is
an
enormous
task,
so
I'm
trying
to
get
down
into
a
smaller
compartment
and
see
if
it.
If
from
your
opinion
from
a
committee
chair
standpoint,
would
it
be
easier
for
your
committee
to
reach
out
to
try
and
find
board
members
and
recommend
to
the
governor.
J
A
C
Thank
you
and
and
miss
serena.
I
certainly
sympathize
with
you
being
just
kind
of
thrust
into
this
and
and
not
really
having
the
time
to
prepare
or
frankly,
interface
with
us
to
find
out
what
it
is,
we're
trying
to
do
so.
Congratulations
on
successfully
surviving
so
far.
C
I
just
have
a
practical
question
and
it's
going
to
kind
of
put
you
on
the
spot
a
little
bit,
but
whenever
I've
been
on
the
sunset
committee
for
well
pretty
much
ever
since
I've
been
in
the
legislature,
so
I've
seen
a
lot
of
different
presentations
and
the
one
thing
that
I
I
see
is
when
we
have
a
board
that
isn't
being
filled
by
whomever
it
is
that's
responsible
to
fill
it,
whether
it's
the
governor's
office
or
the
legislature-
and
you
know
it
doesn't
seem
to
rise
to
the
level
of
getting
the
attention
of
those
decision
makers.
C
It
makes
me
wonder
if
the
board
is
really
necessary
and
that's
ultimately,
what
this
committee
is
trying
that
this
subcommittee
is
trying
to
do
is
look
to
see.
C
Do
we
need
to
continue
the
board
and,
and
it
on
its
face,
it
looks
like
this
board
is
critical,
but
if
you
haven't
met
since
2020,
and
we
just
went
through
a
a
state
crisis
and
the
governor's
office
doesn't
seem
to,
it
doesn't
seem
to
be
on
his
radar
or
his
office's
radar,
and-
and
you
said
at
the
outset
that
you
work
regularly
and
closely
with
all
of
the
agencies.
Already
I'm
wondering
do
we
need
another
committee
to
do
what
you're
already
doing.
J
Thank
you,
senator
baker,
sonia
serena,
for
the
record.
I
do
believe
that
the
committee
is
needed.
J
What
I
believe
is
that
the
most
when
I
went
to
the
previously
when
I
went
to
the
meetings
the
committee
goes
over
the
pros
and
the
cons
of
every
amber
alert,
that's
issued
through
the
the
state
of
nevada
and
what
we
do.
Is
we
consistently
look
through
all
of
the
requirements
that
we
meet
all
the
requirements?
Did
we
did
we
do
the
the
best
job
that
we
could
for
the
child,
that's
at
large
right
and
for
the
suspects
and
did
we
follow
every
single
thing,
the
laws
and
the
nrs's
that
were
that
were.
J
That
were
put
into
effect.
We
followed
the
legislation,
so
I
do
believe
that
the
committee
is
definitely
needed.
I
believe
the
problem
is
is
because
all
law
enforcement
works
very
close
together.
We
are
consistently
just
having
sidebar
conversations
and
and
making
sure
that
each
other
is
doing
our
jobs
and
therefore,
with
the
turnover
the
people
that
were
in
charge,
they
they
left
it
to
the
people
that
are
kind
of
cleaning
it
up
right
now
and
we're
starting
over
with
making
sure
that
we're
following
everything
that
we
should
be.
A
And
I
do
want
to
make
a
quick
note
on
senator
picker,
because
it's
not
just
a
statewide
alert,
they
specifically
oversee.
I
believe
in
correct
me,
if
I'm
wrong
with
sir
miss
arena,
but
you
guys
oversee
the
statewide
alert
system
for
the
safe
return
of
abducted
children
right.
That's
specifically
what
you
focus
on,
not
just
statewide
alerts.
It's
abducted
children,
correct.
C
Yeah,
no,
I
didn't,
and
and
just
for
the
sake
of
explanation,
my
thought
wasn't
that
this
wasn't
a
necessary
operation.
C
It's
that,
if
it's
already
occurring-
and
I
don't
know
if
it's
occurring
simply
because
of
the
auspices
of
the
the
the
the
board
or
if
this
is
a
function
of
the
various
law
enforcement
agencies
in
their
normal
operation,
of
coordinating
their
efforts.
C
You
know
one
of
the
things
that
we
look
at
is:
would
it
make
sense
to
eliminate
the
board
but
allow
the
the
agencies
whether
or
not
we
need
a
statutory
change
or
whatever,
to
do
that
coordination,
so
we're
not
creating
meetings
that
don't
need
and
boards
that
don't
need
to
exist
right
it.
So
I
what
I'm
exploring
here-
and
it's
just
you
know.
C
After
listening
to
the
presentation,
my
thought
is:
if,
if
there's
already
a
structure
in
place
within
the
different
organizations
and
an
expectation
to
coordinate
your
efforts,
do
we
need
another
board
to
oversee
what's
taking
place
at
the
operations
level?
And
if
the
answer
is
yes,
it's
fine.
I
certainly
would
not
want
to
do
anything
to
jeopardize
the
the
the
the
effectiveness
of
the
process.
J
And
thank
you
senator
cricket,
sonia
serena,
for
the
record.
I
I
do
believe
that
we
do
need
to
have
the
meetings
and
have
the
board
I
if
we
could
change
to
where
the
chair
could
make
the
recommendations.
I
think
that
would
take
a
lot
of
the
workload
off
of
the
governors,
the
governor's
committee
and
boards
and
stuff,
but
we
do
need
to
continue
to
have
the
meeting
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
we're
we're
doing
the
checks
and
balances
for
the
amber
alerts
that
are
occurring.
A
All
right,
thank
you,
serena.
I
believe
I
do
see
that
we
have
a
hand
up
and
from
miss
sherry,
britain.
Yes,
yes,
yes,.
K
Hello,
my
I
am
sherry
brigham
and
the
deputy
director
for
the
department
of
public
safety,
and
I
want
to
thank
sonia
for
handling
this
on
such
short
notice,
and
she
is
absolutely
right.
The
need
for
the
committee
is
is
significant
in
that
they
determine
the
processes
to
evaluate
each
and
every
request
and
how
it
goes
about
getting
out
there
on
the
boards
and
announced
so
she's
right.
We
need
to
be
able
to
provide
the
list
to
the
governor's
office.
K
That
would
make
everything
so
much
easier
and
that's
a
great
suggestion
and
I
would
support
her
and,
as
you
know,
we've
said
so
many
times.
Poor
dispatch
is
down
to
half
staff.
Now
we've
had
to
close
the
carson
city
office
a
number
of
times
just
because
we
can't
handle
the
traffic
with
a
staffing
shortage
law
enforcement
in
general,
not
just
dps,
but
in
general
our
short
staff
dps
officers
specifically
are
extremely
short-staffed,
so
that
does
tend
to
reduce
committees
to
a
lower
priority
point
when
you're
dealing
with
emergencies
like
covet.
K
C
You,
and
that
adds
a
lot
of
clarity
for
me.
So,
madam
chair,
I
would
suggest
that
we
make
that
recommendation
and
and
between
you
and
senator
spearman.
We
should
probably
be
able
to
accomplish
that
in
a
committee
bill.
A
Well,
yeah,
yes,
and
and
as
a
sunset
subcommittee
works,
we
make
recommendations
to
the
legislative
commission,
and
so
we
that's
what
we
will
be
we're
sessioning
our
recommendations
that
we
would
report
back
in
our
final
report
to
the
legislative
commission,
who
will
then
take
it
from
there.
But
I
agree.
Thank
you
so
much
senator
lang
with
that.
A
Starting
off
with
that
question
about
the
the
membership
and
where
it's
appointed
to
I
do
have
one
more
question:
would
it
be
and
poor
mus
a
serena
or
mr
burgerman
whoever's
best,
I'm
suited
to
answer
this
question,
but
in
addition
to
the
recommendation
to
allow
or
require,
if
we
put
it
in
statute,
that
we
require
that
you
to
submit
a
list
to
the
governor's
office
by
a
certain
date
or
appointees,
would
it
also
help
to
reduce
the
size,
because
right
now,
there's
five
five
appointments
from
local
law
enforcement
and
then
five
appointments
from
state
law
enforcement?
A
A
Okay,
oh,
I
believe
you're
muted,
miss
arena
and
I
saw
miss
mr
rugerman's
shakies
shaking
her
head
yeah
all
right.
J
I
got
muted,
I
apologize
sonia
serena
for
the
record.
Yes,
that
would
be.
That
would
be
a
great
thing
if
it
could
only
go
to
three
people
each.
It
is
difficult
to
find
representatives
that
want
to
volunteer
for
this.
Even
other
agencies
volunteer
them.
So
three
each
would
be
amazing.
A
Even
other
agencies
volunteer
them.
I
love
that.
Okay
and
just
one
last
question
I
was
gonna,
try
to
go
scan
through
the
the
paperwork.
You
filled
out
being
conservation
friendly,
I'm
not
printing
them
out,
but
are
are
there
term
limits
to
the
appointees.
A
A
Okay,
I'm
looking
for
a
little
hands
up,
okay,
seeing
none
I
want
to.
Thank
you,
ms
serena.
Thank
you
again,
for
you
did
a
great
job.
I
appreciate
you
being
here
and
presenting
and
thank
you
so
much,
mr
graham,
for
helping
answer
the
questions
as
well.
Thank
you.
A
A
D
I'm
so
sorry
I
couldn't
hear
you
I
couldn't
find.
I
couldn't
find
the
pointer
to
unmute
myself.
I
apologize
good
morning,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
committee.
My
name
is
victoria
howen
and
I
am
the
administrator
of
the
office
of
criminal
justice
assistance
and
outgoing
chair
of
the
committee
on
testing
for
intoxication.
D
The
main
function
of
the
committee
historically,
as
prescribed
in
the
nrs,
has
been
to
provide
certification
of
breath
testing
devices
that
include
evidentiary,
breath,
testing
devices,
preliminary
breath,
testing
devices
and
ignition
interlocks.
D
D
The
nac
and
the
regulations
have
been
in
place
for
quite
some
time
and
historically,
there
have
been
just
minor
minor
corrections
that
that
were
needed.
So
there
wasn't
a
huge
need
for
any
regulation
changes
in
the
past
due
to
the
nature
of
breath.
Testing
devices
with
the
presence
of
covid
usage
of
pbts
and
ignition
interlocks
were
impacted.
D
There
weren't
requests
for
new
pbts
that
would
have
driven
on
another
meeting,
so
meetings
are
at
as
needed,
not
really
prescribed
to
any
specific
quota
of
meetings
and
with
me
today
I
want
to
also
introduce
deputy
director
sherry
bruggeman
and
the
highway
safety
director
amy
davey,
who
are
also
here
to
answer
questions.
A
K
Yes,
amy
has
a
short
presentation
for
you,
because
we
are
taking
this
committee
in
a
slightly
different
direction
that
it
has
been
in
the
past,
because
we
are
developing
the
interlock
program,
as
we
discussed
in
the
last
session
and
again
with
covid
and
the
number
of
changes
and
the
shortfalls
that
we've
had
in
our
sworn
officers.
K
We've
had
significant
difficulties,
overcoming
those
issues,
so
I
do
have
amy
present
to
point
our
direction
out
to
you
so
that
you
can
have
some
idea
of
what
we're
looking
for,
and
we
hope
to
maintain
this
committee.
A
D
Good
morning,
I
don't
have
a
prepared
presentation
other
than
to
just
make
some
remarks
regarding
the
committee
and
the
way
the
committee
is
functioned.
This
is
really
a
technical
advisory
committee,
a
working
group
if
you
will-
and
it's
primarily
comprised
of
forensic
toxicological
specialists,
people
from
our
local
forensic
toxicology
laboratory
staff.
This
committee,
the
committee-
has
been
in
existence
for
quite
some
time
and
has
served
as
advisories
to
the
department
and
to
the
state
regarding,
as
you
heard,
ms
howen
described,
regarding
the
use
of
alcohol
breath,
testing
devices.
D
What
we
would
ask
the
sunset
subcommittee
to
consider
is
whether
the
time
is
right,
and
there
is
a
possibility
for
this
committee-
the
committee
for
testing
on
intoxication
to
begin
to
make
some
more
recommendations
and
advise
on
other
types
of
dui.
Toxicological
issues.
D
Nevada
is
the
only
state
that
does
not
have
a
state
forensic
toxicology
lab
at
the
state
level.
All
of
that
dui
testing
is
done
in
local
jurisdictions
and
thus
they've
served
sort
of
as
technical
advisors
on
the
process
as
dui
technologies
change
and
as
as
we
see
new
resources
become
available.
I
think
there's
an
opportunity
for
this
committee
really
of
technical
experts
to
begin
to
advise
the
state
on
best
practices,
additional
best
practices
that
may
be
available.
D
In
2021
legislative
session.
We
worked
with
the
assembly
committee
on
judiciary
to
remove
some
of
the
previous
requirements
for
the
committee
to
to
review,
breath
interlock
devices
and
instead
that
has
become
a
function
of
adhering
to
national
standards.
D
So
we
think
there's
an
opportunity
for
the
the
committee
actually
to
begin
to
sort
of
look
at
making
new
methodologies
and
new
recommendations
for
the
department
to
consider.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
miss
davey,
and
I
have
a
question
for
you.
So
your
recommendation
is
you
kind
of
want
to
expand
the
role
of
the
committee?
You
are
a
committee
of,
like
you,
said,
toxological
experts
and
you
want
to
make
more.
You
want
to
be
able
to
make
more
recommendations
to
the
state
who
in
the
state,
would
you
like
be
directing
these
recommendations.
Should
it
be
the
department
of
public
safety
or
is
there
a
specific
entity
that
you
would
like
to
work
more
closely
with
to
be
able
to
make
state
recommendations.
D
That's
a
great
question
and
I
will
ask
the
deputy
director
to
comment
on
that
as
well.
I
I
think
it
would
not
be.
I
think
it
would
be
fair
for
the
community
to
continue
to
make
recommendations
to
the
department
that
the
department
could
bring
forward
to
the
legislature
on
behalf
of
the
committee,
but
I'll
leave
that
open
for
consideration
as
to
whether
they
should
make
recommendations
for
the
legislature
directly
as
well.
I
I
guess
I
don't
have
a
strong
perspective
on
that.
K
To
add,
I
don't
know
if
I'm
still
muted.
No,
we
can
hear
you
oh
good.
I
would
agree
with
amy
that,
certainly
to
the
department,
we
would
value
that
advice,
but
in
addition
to
that
making
recommendations
to
her
committee
or
the
traffic
safety,
it's
it's
got
quite
a
few
names
that
make
recommendations
to
the
legislature
would
also
be
a
consideration.
A
A
Okay
committee
members
that
actually
wraps
up
agenda
item
number
five
for
us.
Our
next
agenda
item
is
a
work
session
agenda
item
before
we
go
to
our
work
session
agenda
item
because
we
do
have
a
new
member
who
joined
us,
and
I
do
want
to
take
the
opportunity
to
have
her
introduce
herself.
Remember
terry
rankin
would
do
you
want
to
take
an
opportunity
just
to
introduce
yourself
to
the
committee
and
to
those
watching
virtually.
I
know
we.
D
Thank
you.
This
is
terry
rankin
for
the
record,
I'm
an
attorney,
I'm
presently
retired.
I
had
served
as
nevada's
commissioner
of
insurance
and
then
as
an
appeals
officer
for
the
state
of
nevada.
Before
that
I
was
a
bill
drafter
brenda
knows
we
would
sit
in
the
little
boxes
next
to
each
other
and
build
drafts,
so
I
have
a
lot
of
familiarity
with
the
nrs
and
the
nac,
and
so
that
was
my
interest
in
the
committee.
I
think
this
is
the
sixth
interim
I've
served
on
this
subcommittee.
D
I
know
governor
sandoval
appointed
me
originally
and
of
course
you
know
now
governor
syselect,
but
I
think
it's
the
sixth
time
so
on
and
off
I'll
give
you
little
comments
on
things
that
that
I
think
fit
with
the
nrs
or
the
nac,
but
mostly
I
just
monitor
what
you're
doing
and
participate
in
your
meetings.
A
Thank
you,
member
reagan.
We
appreciate
your
long
dedication
to
public
service
and
we
and
your
dedication
to
this
this
subcommittee.
So
it's
it's
nice
to
have
someone
who's
been
here
interim
over
interim.
We
can
bring
some
historical
context
to
some
of
the
discussions
that
we
have.
So
we
appreciate
you.
Thank
you
for
ranking,
okay
committee
members.
This
is
going
to
move
us
on
to
agenda
item
number
six,
which
is
our
work
session,
and
the
work
of
the
sunset
subcommittee
is
somewhat
different
from
other
interim
committees.
A
In
that
we
study
and
develop
other
committees
that
study
and
develop
public
policy.
This
subcommittee
is
charged
with
reviewing
existing
boards
and
commissions
and
making
recommendations
regarding
their
future.
Our
next
order
of
business
is
to
consider
recommendations
for
some
of
the
boards
and
commissions
that
we
reviewed
at
our
last
meeting
for
each
entity.
A
The
work
session
document
presents
options
or
actions
for
consideration
by
the
members.
It
is
intended
to
assist
the
members
in
determining
whether
to
recommend
that
a
board
or
commission
be
continued,
terminated,
modified
or
consolidated
with
another
agency
as
a
result
of
the
subcommittee's
consideration
today.
Each
item
may
be
the
subject
of
further
discussion,
redefinement
or
action.
A
The
work
session
document
was
posted
with
the
agenda
on
the
legislature's
website.
The
work
session
document
contains
standard
language
that
asks
the
members
to
consider
possible
recommendations
in
some
instances.
It
also
includes
suggested
actions.
These
are
presented
for
discussion
purposes
and
do
not
in
any
way
limit
the
range
of
options
available
to
the
members.

For
the
record,
my

analyst,
as
nonpartisan
staff
I
can
either
advocate
nor
advocate
for
nor
against
a
measure
that
comes
before
this
subcommittee
with
that
I'll
just
provide
a
short
overview
of
the
work
session
document.
B
While
the
work
session
document
is
designed
to
assist
that
subcommittee
in
determining
what
actions
and
wishes
to
take.
Each
item
in
this
document
may
be
subject
for
further
discussion,
refinement
or
action
in
general.
The
subcommittee
can
recommend
drafting
either
bills
or
resolutions,
send
letters
to
request
certain
action
and
request
to
report
back
to
the
subcommittee
during
the
next
interim
or
put
a
position
statement
in
the
final
report.
B
It
is
important
to
remember
that
the
subcommittee
does
not
have
a
specific
specified
allotment
of
bdrs
as
most
interim
committees
or
studies
have
instead
subsection
three
of
nevada,
revised
statutes.
232
b
.250
requires
the
sunset
to
submit
recommendations
on
or
before
june
30
of
even-numbered
years
to
the
legislative
commission.
B
B
The
first
entity
on
the
work
session
document
is
the
state
historical
records
advisory
board,
which
was
reviewed
at
the
february
16
meeting.
The
board
was
first
created
in
1976,
under
the
nevada
advisory
council
on
libraries
and
established
in
statute
in
1989.
B
B
This
individual
serves,
as
the
secretary
of
the
board
and
and
nine
members
are
appointed
by
the
governor
members,
who
are
not
state
employees.
We
do
receive
a
salary
of
eighty
dollars
per
meeting
day.
The
sunset
subcommittee
previously
reviewed
this
board
on
march,
4th
2014
subcommittee
voted
to
recommend
the
board's
continuation
without
any
suggested
changes
during
the
sunset
stuck
committee's
review
of
the
board
at
the
previous
meeting.
B
He
clarified
that
is
the
national
organization's
policy
that
a
board
must
exist
for
for
the
state
to
be
eligible
to
receive,
grant
funding
and
that
the
national
organizations
will
reimburse
travel
expenses
or
board
members
to
attend
national
meetings.
But
grant
funds
cannot
be
used
to
pay
the
salary.
B
Therefore,
the
state
will
need
to
pay
the
cost
of
the
salary
set
forth.
Then
nrs
378a
0.050
the
board
estimates
that
no
more
than
four
of
its
members
would
be
eligible
for
salary
for
each
meeting
and
expenses
would
depend
on
how
many
meetings
were
held
each
year
again.
The
the
statute
requires
the
board
to
meet
at
least
three
times
per
year.
B
B
Does
the
subcommittee
have
a
recommendation
for
consolidation
with
another
entity
or
a
recommendation
to
have
the
board's
duties
transferred
to
another
entity?
If
the
subcommittee
wishes
to
recommend
continuing
the
board,
does
the
subcommittee
want
to
recommend
any
changes
to
the
board
if
the
subcommittee
recommends
continuation?
B
There
are
a
few
items
noted
on
the
work
session
document
that
the
members
of
the
setup
committee
may
wish
to
consider
the
items
included
in
the
work
session
document
on
pages
two
and
three,
madam
chair:
that's
all
the
information
they
have.
A
Thank
you
so
much.
Mr
malaga
committee
members,
as
you
recall,
during
our
last
committee
meeting,
when
the
board
rep
presented,
they
did
know
that
they
had
finally
had
someone
dedicated
to
working
on
on
the
board
and
that
they
would
now
be
able
to
make
recommendations
to
fill
those
positions
and
finally,
have
someone
to
apply
for
grant
funding
to
fulfill
the
duties
that
the
board
was
created.
To
do
so
we're
here
to
discuss
right
as
a
committee.
A
What
are
what
the
future
of
the
board
would
be
just
my
personal
my
take
on
it
would
be
that
we
that
our
recommendation
would
be
for
the
board
to
continue.
A
A
Is
my
a
third
recommendation
would
be
to
require
the
board
every
year
to
send
a
letter
if,
if
appointments
are
to
be
made
that
year
require
them
every
year
to
send
a
letter
to
the
governor
with
their
with
their
recommendation,
for
appointments,
so
puts
the
the
work
on
the
board
to
find
a
member
to
fill
that
position
and
send
their
recommendation
to
the
governor
ultimately
having
the
government
make
the
recommendation
for
the
appointment,
but
requiring
them
to
send
that
person
to
the
governor's
office.
A
But
I
do
want
to
turn
to
the
committee
to
see
what
your
recommendations
would
be.
D
Madam
chair,
yes
vice
chair
yeah,
I
was
just
going
to
say
I
I
agree
with
that,
and
you
know
one
of
the
things.
One
of
the
challenges
that
we
have
with
the
boys
and
commissions
is:
is
that
getting
the
word
out
so
people
know
what's
available,
and
so
they
can
match
their
interest
and
skill
set
to
what's
available.
So,
along
with
that,
with
the
recommendation
to
the
governor.
What
I'd
like
to
suggest?
D
Is
that
not
just
this
board,
but
all
boards
look
at
ways
that
we
can
expand
the
outreach
to
people
in
the
community,
because
we've
got
a
lot
of
seats
to
go
on
field
because
a
lot
of
people
don't
know
what's
available.
So
I
agree
with
you.
F
Chair,
I
think
I
have
to
echo
some
of
senator
lane's
sentiments
that
we
seem
to
have
a
lot
of
boards
that
are
not
meeting
regularly
we're
not
getting
appointees.
F
So
it
seems
like
a
consistent
problem
and
it
would
seem
that
the
work
is
still
being
done
by
agencies
or
departments
that
these
councils
fall
under,
and
you
know
if
it's
so
difficult
to
for
them
to
meet
and
to
have
committee
meetings
that,
particularly
in
this
case,
I
would
recommend
that
we
terminate
it
because
it
seems
like
we
still
have
other
offices
or
departments.
They
still
been
functioning
without
this
committee
meeting
regularly,
and
I
would
advise
that
we
terminate.
A
This
okay-
and
I
do
want-
I
I
do
want
to
point
out
for
the
committee
members-
knowledge
that,
in
order
for
us
to
be
a
be
eligible
to
receive
some
grant
funding,
it's
required
for
this
board
to
exist,
so
that
would
eliminate
some
of
the
available
opportunities
for
historical
records,
money
money's
available.
A
C
You
I
you
just
answered
my
first
question,
which
was
whether
or
not
the
grant
funding
was
available
to
the
state
without
the
board,
so
it
sounds
like
we
have
to
have
the
board
and
I'm
always
eager
to
take
whatever
federal
dollars
are
available
for
us.
C
I'm
wondering
also
if
there
are
requirements-
and
I
don't
remember
seeing
any
in
the
grant
information
that
requires
a
certain
frequency
of
meetings
so
before
we
make
any
critical
recommendations
as
to
timing,
we
probably
should
look
at
that
because
there
are
often
frequency
requirements
in
those
grant
documents,
but
yeah.
I
tend
to
agree
with
some
of
you
in
kasama
that
given
the
number
of
boards
that
we
have
that
are
going
unstaffed
and
unappointed.
C
So
with
that,
I
would
support
if
that's
true,
that
we
don't
or
that
we
have
to
have
this
board
in
order
to
get
the
state
money,
then
I
would
default
to
your
recommendation
that
we
align
the
meeting
requirements
and
the
board
itself
and
and
the
to
the
documents
to
the
the
grant
documents
and
then
make
sure
that
we've
got
the
the
ability
of
the
board
to
seek
out
and
and
find
replacements
so
that
it's
not
such
a
big
burden
on
the
governor.
A
Thank
you
senator
pickard,
mr
margaret.
A
Do
we
have
someone
here
who
can
answer
senator
picker's
question
and
regarding
the
frequency
of
meetings?
If,
if.
H
B
Yes,
madam
chair,
we
have
mike
strum.
The
administrator
is
available
on
zoom,
as
well
as
the
director
of
department
of
administration.
A
Okay,
administrator
strom,
I'm
not
sure
if
you
need
senator
picker
to
restate
his
question,
but
his
question
was
just
regarding.
We
know
that
this
this
committee
needs
to
exist
in
order
for
us
to
be
eligible
for
some
dollars,
but
does
are
there
any
meeting
frequency
requirements
that
would
dictate
how
often
you
have
to
meet.
H
Madam
chair
senator
pickard
and
members
of
the
committee,
thank
you
for
having
me
this
morning.
I
appreciate
it.
My
understanding
with
this
committee
is
that
we
declare
it
in
the
grant
request
how
often
we
expect
to
meet
so
we
set
the
the
the
terms
of
how
many
times
we
meet
during
the
meeting,
often
times
in
my
experience
with
this
board
and
other
states
three
to
four
times
a
year
is
what
we
need
to
be
doing
in
order
for
this
to
be
an
effective
board
to
maintain
contact
and
just
do
its
business.
H
H
Sure,
absolutely
I
am
pleased
to
report
that
now
that
we
have
a
state
archivist
on
staff,
we
have
not
had
this
position
filled
in
several
years.
We
she
has
already
reached
out
and
received
four
people
who
reached
out
and
four
people
have
applied
to
fill
the
vacant
seats,
so
those
applications
are
already
with
the
governor's
office.
H
So
we
have
taken
the
lead
on
that,
as
we
certainly
agree
with
you
that
it's
appropriate
that
we
do
that
instead
of
putting
that
on
the
governor's
office
and
we
plan
to
submit
a
grant
request
to
the
nhprc
in
june.
That's
the
next
time
that
we
can
do
it
and
our
idea
would
be
to
do
a
survey
of
archives
and
records
institutions
around
the
state
to
see
what
their
needs
are
to
see,
what
their
conditions
are
and
to
work
on
the
board
strategic
planning.
So
we
can
get
up
and
going.
C
Follow
up
on
the
question,
though,
yes
senator
picker,
thank
you
just
mr
strom.
I'm
just
curious
to
know.
If
we
have
met
the
requirements
it
sounds
like
we
may
not
have,
but
under
this
grant,
if
we
haven't
met
it,
do
we
get
another
shot
at
realigning
the
expectations
so
that
we
can
continue
to
get
the
money.
H
Madam
chair
and
senator
prickard:
yes,
we
do.
We
do
the
the
nhprc
really
they
they
want
this
board
to
be
active
in
all
states,
for
as
many
states
as
possible,
they
are
thrilled
that
we
are
reorganizing
and
that
we
have
been
in
contact
with
them
about
re.
You
know
revitalizing
the
board.
So
yes,
thank
you
so
much.
F
I'm
really
happy
to
get
that
last
piece
of
information
that
now
that
we
have
archivists
that
the
we
have
found
people
that
will
fill
those
appointments,
but
I
think
madam
chair,
I
think
at
some
point
it
would
be
really
healthy
for
us
to
have
a
discussion
about
all
of
these
boards
and
how
we
get
the
word
out
to
the
public
that
there
are
positions
available.
People
ask
me
all
the
time,
but
unless
you
know
about
it
you
don't
know
the
questions
asked
you
don't
know
where
to
go.
F
You
don't
know
how
to
get
to
it,
and
so
you
know,
maybe
we
create
like
a
certain
month
that
this
is
going
to
be
public
service
announcements
for
the
public
to
get
on
to
know
about
boards
and
committees.
I
mean
I,
I
just
think
it's
part
of
a
larger
discussion,
because
it
seems
like
every
board
we
hear
from
has
the
same
problem,
which
is
how
to
get
members
on
their
committee.
F
So
I
would
suggest
that
in
the
future
we
have
a
broader
discussion
about
how
how
we
can
help
facilitate
getting
people
on
boards
and
commissions.
Thank.
A
You
thank
you
senator,
and
that
could
be
part
of
our
recommendation
to
the
legislative
commission
that
you
know.
We
look
for
ways
to
get
the
word
out
and
it
sounds
like
a
great
bill
idea
idea
for
someone
as
well
a
bdr
I
do
but,
okay,
I
am
going
to
go
to
member
rankin
next
and
then
to
vice
chair.
D
Okay,
there
we
go
hi.
This
is
for
the
record.
This
is
terry
rankin.
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
this
deals
with
local
government
records
and
I
wanted
to
emphasize
to
the
committee
that
the
destruction
of
records
is
one
way
that
public
records
become
unavailable
to
the
public
and
in
local
governments.
They
could
be
stored
in
garages
in
storage
sheds
unavailable
to
people,
and
so
it's
really
important
that
this
board
carry
out
their
duties
related
to
those
records
so
they're
available.
D
In
fact,
if
any
of
you
want
to
join,
get
on
the
supreme
court
website
and
you
can
join
and
be
a
member
of
the
society,
but
we
found
that
the
court
didn't
have
room
for
the
records
and
so
we're
going
to
be
transferring
the
records
about
judges
to
the
state
archives
before
they
get
destroyed
or
mishandled.
There's
photographs
oral
histories,
plaques
scrapbooks,
documentation
about
the
courthouses
and
the
judges
in
nevada,
and
so
it's
really
important
to
preserve
these
records,
not
just
for
public
access
but
for
historical
research.
A
Thank
you,
member
rankin
and
members.
Just
to
let
you
know,
I
am
going
to
restate
my
recommendation
because
after
hearing
from
mr
strom,
he
nrs
currently
requires
them
to
meet
three
times
a
year.
He
made
it
known
that,
in
order
for
them
to
be
an
effective
board,
they
should
be
meeting
three
to
four
times
a
year.
So
I
do
not
want
to
minimize
in
statute
how
often
they
have
to
meet,
especially
since
we
we
do
know
that
they
have
the
state
archivist.
A
Now
we
got,
we
all
got
to
meet
her
at
our
last
meeting.
She
was
on
to
present.
If
you
recall,
okay,
I
am
going
to
go
back
to
vice
chair
for
a
second
time,
and
then
we
will
move
to
make
our
recommendation.
D
D
That
will
help
get
the
word
out
about
what
they
do
and
how
they
do
it
and
with
respect
to
member
rankin's
comments,
one
of
the
things
that
we
might
want
to
start
looking
at
not
just
for
them,
but
for
all,
and
that
is
how
do
we
digitize
and
then
we
implement
some
type
of
redundancy
so
that
the
the
digitization.
A
Just
a
thought
we
could
have
by
sure
if
it
would
be
I'm
okay
with
you,
we
can
have
them.
Make
me
submit
a
report
to
the
next
interim
sunset
subcommittee
on
what
they've
done
that
to
help
promote
notice
to
the
public
of
availability
of
of
maybe
vacancies
on
the
board
and
then
that's
good
update
on
digital
digitization.
I'm
gonna
have
difficulty
saying
that
word:
okay,.
A
Okay
and
then
okay,
assembly,
woman,
kasama
just.
F
A
Worries:
okay,
perfect,
well,
members,
I'm
gonna,
say
my
recommendation
would
be
that
we
continue
this
board.
We
that
we
continue
this
board
and
that
we
would
require
the
board
annually
to
look
at
their
vacancies
and
submit
a
letter
to
the
governor's
office
with
the
names
of
appointees.
A
And
and
require
the
board
to
submit
a
letter
to
the
next
interim
sunset
subcommittee
on
what
they've
done
to
get
the
word
out
about
vacancies
on
their
board?
A
A
B
The
next
entity
on
the
work
session
is
the
medical
laboratory
advisory
committee,
in
which
was
reviewed
by
the
sunset
subcommittee
on
february
16.
in
1976,
the
legislature
established
the
minimum
standards
for
the
licensing
and
operation
of
medical
laboratories
and
created
the
medical
laboratory
advisory
committee.
The
committee
consists
of
seven
members
appointed
by
the
state
board
of
health,
as
well
as
the
state's
chief
medical
officer
as
an
ex-official
member.
B
B
B
B
B
However,
in
the
form
submitted
by
the
medical
laboratory
advisory
committee,
they
did
they
were
not
seeking
any
statutory
changes
or
consolidation
with
another
entity.
Once
again,
the
question
before
the
subcommittee
is:
does
the
subcommittee
wish
to
recommend
continuation
or
determination
of
the
board
if
the
subcommittee
recommends
simbernation?
Does
the
subcommittee
have
a
recommendation
for
consolidation
with
another
entity
or
a
recommendation
to
have
the
board's
duties
transferred
to
another
entity?
B
If
the
subcommittee
wishes
to
recommend
continuing
the
board,
does
the
subcommittee
want
to
recommend
any
changes
to
the
board?
Madam
chair,
those
are
all
the
permission
I
have.
A
Thank
you,
mr
malaga
subcommittee,
if
you
recall,
and
mr
margaret,
we
have
someone
here
to
help
answer,
questions
correct.
B
Manager,
yes,
apologies
for
not
noting
that
there
is
a
representative
for
each
of
the
entities
on
the
world
session
document
on
zuko.
A
Thank
you,
mr
margaret
okay
committee
members.
If
you
recall
from
our
previous
meeting,
they
did
make
the
case
as
to
why
I
think
they
we
should
continue
with
the
with
the
committee.
I'm
going
to
open
it
up
to
discussion.
But
my
my
inclination
is
to
make
a
recommendation
for
them
to
be
continued
with
the
requirements
that
we
change
nrs
to
require
that
they
meet
annually
once
a
year
and
with
the
requirement
that
they
annually
look
at
any
vacancies
and
require
them
to
submit
an
annual
letter.
A
J
A
A
Okay,
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
raising
your
hand
for
an
eye
okay,
mr
malgarejo,
we
do
have.
It
looks
like
this
passes,
with
unanimous
support.
A
Okay
committee
members,
our
next
item
on
work
session
is
the
subcommittee
on
patient-centered
medical
homes.
Mr
mai,
garejo.
B
Thank
you,
chair
for
the
record
cesaro
memorial
committee
policy.
Analyst.
The
final
entity
on
the
work
session
is
the
subcommittee
on
patient-centered
medical
homes
subcommittee
on
patient-centered
medical
homes
is
a
subcommittee
of
the
advisory
council
on
the
state
program
for
wellness
and
prevention
of
chronic
disease
in
2015.
The
legislature
passed
senate
bill
6,
which
authorizes
the
advisory
council
to
appoint
an
advisory
group
to
study
the
delivery
of
health
care
through
patient-centered
medical
homes.
B
The
department
of
health
and
human
services
confirmed
that
the
subcommittee
and
patient
center
homes
was
formally
dissolved
and
does
not
meet
on
the
sunset
subcommittee
form
and
after
the
february
16th
meeting
the
division
of
public
health
republican
behavioral
health
recommended
nrsb
amended
to
remove
the
authority
to
appoint
an
advisory
group
to
study
delivery
of
healthcare
through
patient-centered
medical
homes.
B
The
question
before
the
subcommittee
is:
does
the
subcommittee
wish
to
recommend
continuation
or
termination
of
the
board
if
the
subcommittee
recommends
termination?
Does
the
subcommittee
have
a
recommendation
for
consolidation
with
another
entity
or
a
recommendation
to
have
the
board's
studies
transferred
to
another
entity?
If
the
subcommittee
wishes
to
recommend
continuing
the
board,
does
the
subcommittee
want
to
recommend
any
changes
to
the
board?
Madam
chair,
that
provides
all
the
information.
A
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
margaret
and
committee
members,
you
remember
during
our
last
committee
meeting
that
the
board
the
subcommittee
had
already
been
terminated
and
so
dissolved.
I
would
say,
and
so
it
would
be
my
recommendation,
that
we
terminate
the
subcommittee
on
patient-centered
medical
homes
and
also
revise
nrs
and
amends
that
we
remove
the
specific
authority
to
study
patient-centered
medical
homes
from
statue
as
well.
A
So
a
committee,
I
would
turn
to
you
to
any
discussion
again
the
my
recommendation
before
you
would
be
to
terminate
the
subcommittee
on
patient-centered
medical
homes
and
amend
the
statute
to
remove
the
specific
authority
to
study
patient-centered
medical
homes.
There
is
another
area
that
still
allows
them
to
continue
to
study
them,
but
creating
the
subcommittee
would
not
be
necessary.
C
Question
man,
I'm
sure,
yes,
the
senator
pickard,
just
that
the
it
seems
to
me
that
the
effort
is
probably
worthwhile.
It
may
be
already
being
done
by
the
host
committee.
C
I
forget
the
name
of
it
now,
but
I'm
wondering
if
the
statutory
change
would
also
require
us
to
move
those
duties
to
them
or
if
that
would
be
a
natural
assumption
of
duties.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
whatever
our
recommendation
for
the
statutory
change
changes
includes
any
other
changes
that
would
be
required
to
make
sure
that
the
effort
continues.
Even
though
the
subcommittee
may
not.
A
Yes
and
I'm
going
to
turn
to
our
legal,
but
it
was
my
understanding,
I'm
senator
pickard
when
I
looked
at
the
nrs
that
they
already
have
the
authority
to
do
this
under
under
that
nrs.
This
subcommittee
was
just
created
that
really
dictated
who
the
membership
of
the
subcommittee
was.
So
they
can
still
study
patient-centered
medical
homes,
but
they
would
not
be
required
to
form,
and
they
still
do
right
they.
They
would
not
be
required
to
form
a
special
subcommittee
with
desert
with
with
designated
members
they
can.
D
Yes,
that
is
correct.
I
mean
the
the
advisory
council
does
have
authority
to
appoint
additional
committees
or
subcommittees
to
study
any
issues
relating
to
wellness
and
the
prevention
of
chronic
disease.
So
I
think
that
would.
J
D
J
C
All
right
so
miss
o'grady,
I'm
wondering
if
what
you
just
described
is
what
I
expected.
So
what
there's
nothing
to
prevent
them
from
creating
a
subcommittee
on
an
ag
hot
ad
hoc
basis
if
they
need
to
so
us,
removing
this
requirement
merely
puts
it
back
in
their
lap.
They
can
do
it
if
they
need
it,
but
if
they
don't
need
it,
they
do
it
themselves.
Is
that
a
fair
statement.
A
Yes,
senator
members,
any
other
questions
or
recommendations.
A
Okay,
is
there
I'd,
be
looking
for
a
motion
so
much
okay,
we
have
I'm
gonna,
give
the
first
to
senator
lang
and
the
second
to
vice
chair.
Since
I
heard
senator
link
first
any
discussion
on
the
motion.
A
A
Thank
you
committee
members,
and
thank
you,
mr
margaret,
for
walking
us
through
that
work
session.
Okay
committee
members
that
moves
us
to
our
last
item
on
the
agenda,
which
is
agenda,
item
number,
seven
public
comment.
As
a
reminder,
we
will
limit
public
comment
to
three
minutes
per
speaker.
A
I
am
going
to
turn
to
bps
to
see
if
we
have
anyone
waiting
to
make
public
comment.
While
I
give
people
a
few
minutes
to
call
in,
I
am
going
to
go
through
some
last
minute
housekeeping
items.
