If
you're
in
the
room.
K
Good
morning,
professor
doug
unger
d-o-u-g
u-n-g-e-r,
representing
southern
nevada
faculty
for
the
nevada
faculty
alliance
and
the
unlv
employee
benefits
advisory
committee.
I
just
want
to
say
how
wonderful
it
is
to
see
everyone
up
so
close
and
sitting
so
closely.
It's
like
a
signal
that
our
state
is
coming
back
to
normal.
K
But
a
very
important
few
colleagues
in
agenda
item
l5.
This
committee
is
going
to
accept,
I
presume
more
than
2.7
billion
dollars
in
american
rescue
plan
funds.
We
feel
that
we
hope
that
you
can
put
on
the
agenda
of
this
committee.
A
conversation
about
restoring
pebb
minimum
would
be
the
25
million
that
was
taken
back
in
the
ab3
special
session
last
summer,
which
is
.91
cents
of
the
american
rescue
plan.
K
Funds
to
restore
the
plan
completely
would
be
twice
that
much
1.8
cents
which
would
restore
the
plan
and
keep
up
with
the
4.6
percent
medical
inflation.
I
hope
that
this
committee
can
really
move
forward
and
have
the
conversation
about
restoring
peb
funds.
We've
checked
with
the
u.s
treasury
guidelines,
we've
checked
with
our
congressional
delegations
and
with
several
attorneys,
and
we
believe
that,
within
those
guidelines,
the
restoration
of
this
kind
of
budget
is
not
only
permissible.
K
A
L
L
E
Good
morning,
chair
brooks
co-chair
carlton
and
members
of
the
committee.
This
is
priscilla
maloney.
E
As
as
a
legislative
body
and
appreciate
the
work
you
will
be
doing,
which
is
going
to
be
a
big
lift,
as
as
everyone
knows,
this
is
an
enormous
amount
of
money,
but,
as
dr
unger
pointed
out,
we
have
some
specific
road
maps
on
what
to
do
on
in
senate,
bill
461,
subsection,
1,
subsection,
2,
section
g,
subsection,
1
and
would
love
to
to
embody
the
first
sentence.
I
believe
in
that
bill,
which
is
as
soon
as
is
practicable.
We
recognize
the
enormous
administrative
task
ahead.
We
thank
you
for
your
consideration
in
this
matter.
E
L
M
Good
morning,
members
of
the
interim
committee
for
the
record,
my
name-
is
victor
sulcido,
with
the
charter
school
association
of
nevada,
I'm
calling
in
this
morning,
because
I
felt
it
necessary
to
bring
something
to
your
attention
in
the
recently
concluded
legislative
session.
There
was
a
lot
of
effort
and
time
spent
in
ensuring
that
the
transition
to
the
new
funding
formula
for
public
education
would
not
cause
any
harm
to
any
any
student
in
our
state.
M
Unfortunately,
I'm
here
today
because,
as
we
came
out
of
session
and
schools
have
been
trying
to
put
budgets
together
for
the
new
school
year,
we're
finding
out
that
there
are
many
more
schools
who
will
see
a
decrease
in
their
per-pupil
funding
when
compared
to
2020..
Many
of
them
will
see
a
decreases
of
hundreds
of
dollars
per
pupil.
M
Unfortunately,
we've
come
to
the
we're
coming
to
the
conclusion
that
there
are
many
more
schools
that
were
in
similar
positions
that
were
not
identified
as
such.
M
L
E
I
want
to
thank
you
for
all
that
has
been
done
regarding
pebb
and
pers
this
year,
but
the
recent
cuts
and
changes
to
our
public
employee
health
benefits
we're
disheartening,
to
say
the
least
for
those
of
us
with
serious
health
conditions,
especially
myself
as
a
cancer
survivor.
These
changes
have
serious
impacts
to
my
ability
to
maintain
my
health.
Transferring
costs
to
employees
creates
a
tremendous
financial
hardship.
E
Cancer
is
a
lifetime
fight.
This
was
an
incredibly
difficult
past
year
and
a
half,
and
it
was
disappointing
to
find
that,
after
all,
the
cuts
haddon
still
has
a
large
surplus
and
we
are
getting
the
american
rescue
plan
funds
which
are
precisely
to
recoup
those
budget
shortfalls.
Yet
the
legislature
only
gave
a
one
month
premium
holiday,
which
is
truly
a
pittance
compared
to
the
damage
that
has
been
done
to
our
health
care
benefits.
E
As
everyone
is
aware,
state
employees
work
for
much
lower
wages
than
our
city
and
county
counterparts,
but
the
trade-off
is
supposed
to
be
the
benefits
that
we
get
state.
Employees
are
happy
to
work
for
less
because
we
love
our
jobs,
but
to
those
benefits
for
no
to
lose.
Those
benefits
for
no
good
reason
is
just
showing
the
state's
lack
of
appreciation
for
the
work
that
state
employees
do.
E
E
L
M
Thank
you,
chair
brooks
vice
chair
and
members
of
the
committee.
My
name
is
benjamin
challenger,
that's
b-e-n-j-a-m-I-n
c-h-a-l-l-I-n-o-r
and
I
am
the
policy
director
for
faith
in
action
nevada.
M
I
am
here
to
speak
about
the
american
rescue
plan
act,
funds
that
this
that
the
committee
will
be
approving
and
accepting
and
then
particularly,
the
in
support
of
disadvantaged
communities,
are
black
brown.
Indigenous
immigrant
and
communities
of
color
in
low-income
communities
were
disproportionately
affected
by
the
global
19
pandemic,
and
we
must
do
as
much
as
we
can
to
make
sure
that
we
are
not
only
making
them
whole
but
making
them
making
sure
that
we
are
able
to
get
them
back
better
than
they
were
before.
M
We're
encouraged
by
the
the
every
nevada
recovery
framework
as
part
of
the
public
input,
and
we
look
forward
to
make
sure
that
our
organization
and
other
stakeholders
who
work
directly
with
these
disadvantaged
communities
are
part
of
the
conversation
to
make
sure
that
we
we
are
able
to
get.
We
are
able
to
get
them
there.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
opportunity.
L
M
L
M
Carter
bundy
with
ask
me
c-a-r-t-e-r
b-u-n-d-y.
I
don't
want
to
be
repetitive
with
some
of
the
previous
comments,
but
we
were
heavily
involved
in
trying
to
pass
state
and
local
aid,
not
just
in
the
last
few
months,
but
going
all
the
way
back
to
the
cares
act.
We
knew
that
there
would
need
to
be
other
rounds
to
make
up
for
the
devastating
loss
of
revenue
that
nevada
suffered
almost
worse
than
anyone
else.
State
employees
did
obviously
take
hits
at
multiple
levels,
not
the
least
of
which
has
been
to
pebb.
M
So
we
do
hope
that
we
think
one
of
the
express
purposes
of
arp
funding
is
to
make
up
for
cuts
that
had
to
happen
during
the
pandemic.
We
thank
the
legislature
for
the
work
that
they
have
done
to
try
to
ease
some
of
that
transition
with
the
premium
holiday,
but
we
do
hope
that
you'll
use
some
of
these
arp
funds
to
restore
the
cuts
that
we're
made
to
have
on
some
of
which
we
think
we
can
be
done
even
mid-year,
but
certainly
in
time
for
fy23.
L
E
Ask
me,
I'm
here
today
to
talk
to
you
about
the
pebb
restoration,
possible
restoration
with
the
arp
money
and
not
to
repeat
what
everyone
else
has
said,
because
I
agree
with
professor
unger
and
also
with
my
fellow
members
from
ask
me,
but
specifically
to
talk
about
my
situation
when
I
came
to
nevada.
One
of
the
reasons
I
took
my
position
was
because
it
offered
benefits
for
me
and
my
young
kids,
my
family,
and
to
look
at
the
pub
cuts
that
are
on
the
table
now
for
fiscal
year
2022.
E
It
would
have
made
it
extremely
difficult
for
me
to
start
my
career
with
state
because
of
those
cuts
to
the
hmo.
Specifically,
we
no
longer
have
an
hmo,
so
I
urge
you
all
to
do
the
right
thing
and
to
support
the
public
employees
that
you
have
here
working
for
you
in
the
state
and
to
recognize
that
when
we
as
state
employees
and
our
families
are
held
whole,
we
provide
better
service.
E
A
L
M
I
am
wanting
to
thank
our
chair,
brooks
and
the
committee.
M
I
appreciate
all
that
you
do
and
it's
understood
that
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
goes
into
exactly
what
you're
doing
doing
these
legislative
sessions,
but
I'm
also
an
afscme
member,
I'm
the
president
of
my
local
chapter
here,
the
share
range
chapter,
but
I'm
also
saying
about
employee-
and
I
stated
before
that
as
a
state
nevada
employee,
especially
with
the
division
of
welfare
and
supportive
services.
M
You
know
many
of
my
co-workers.
We
often
hold
that
conversation
of
how
is
it
that
our
coach,
that
our
members
are
our
clients
that
we
are
evaluating
for
benefits,
especially
when
it
comes
to
medicaid,
are
getting
better
better
benefits
than
we
are
as
state
nevada
employees?
You
know
I
also
wanted
to
bring
to
the
table.
You
know
in
repeating
some
of
things
have
been
stated.

L
C
C-A-R-I-H-E-R-I-N-G-T-O-N
executive
director
for
nevada
cancer
coalition.
We
are
also
in
support
of
item
l
specific
to
the
american
rescue
plan
act.
Funds
partners
across
the
state
are
already
working
together
with
the
state
of
nevada,
division
of
public
and
behavioral
health
to
address
nevadans,
who
are
disproportionately
affected
by
the
pandemic.
C
L
L
M
Good
morning
cher
brooks
and
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
my
name
is
clinton.
Savoie,
that's
q-u,
e-n-t-I-n-s,
like
sam,
a
like
apple
v,
like
victor
w-o-I-r,
I'm
the
deputy
director
at
make
it
work
nevada,
where
we
build
power
alongside
black
women
and
black
families.
I'm
calling
today
in
reference
to
agenda
item
l
and
the
receipt
of
2.7
billion
dollars
in
american
rescue
planned
money.
M
As
you
all
well
know,
communities
of
color,
our
families,
community
members
that
look
like
me
were
disproportionately
impacted
by
the
effects
of
coven
19,
not
just
the
virus
itself,
but
the
economic
fallout.
Rent
prices
continue
to
go
up.
Child
care
is
increasingly
unaffordable
and
out
of
reach
for
so
many
of
the
families
that
we
work
alongside.
M

A
M
M
Mr
chairman,
my
name
is
stephen
j
klubeck,
I'm
the
new
chairman
of
the
nevada
state,
athletic
commission
I
used
to,
and
was
the
founding
chairman
of
brand
usa,
the
head
of
tourism
to
the
united
states
and
I'm
proud
to
be
back
in
our
state
representing
this
great
commission.
M
I
also
offer
to
this
body
my
wealth
of
knowledge
being
the
founding
chairman
and
ceo
of
diamond
resorts.
I
love
my
state
and
I'm
very
proud
to
serve.
I
also
want
to
commend
the
great
management
team.
The
nevada
state
athletic
commission
has
shown
during
the
very
rough
time,
and
we
look
forward
to
a
bright
future.
Adding
tremendous
revenue
to
the
state.
A
Thank
you,
mr
cluebeck,
and
do
we
have
anyone
else?
I
believe.
That's
that's
it
for
our
public
comment
this
morning
and
we
can
move
to
our
next
agenda
items
which
are
our
minutes,
and
so
we've
got
three
sets
of
minutes
here:
agenda
items,
c
d
and
e,
and
it's
the
minutes
from
july.
14,
2020,
the
minutes
from
july
29,
2020
and
the
minutes
from
august
20th
2020
and
do
any
of
the
members
of
the
committee
have
any
comments
to
make
on
those
agenda
items
or
any
revisions
or
corrections.
A
All
right
seeing
none,
I
I
would
like
be
interested
in
taking
a
motion
on
all
three
of
those.
I
have
a
motion
from
assemblywoman
danielle
moreno.
I
have
a
second
from
senator
dennis
any
discussion
on
that
motion
all
right,
seeing
none
all
in
favor,
I
I
and
if
you
could
raise
your
hands
all
right,
so
all
opposed
nay.
A
So
I
see
no
one
in
opposition,
so
the
motion
passes
unanimously
with
the
members
present
and
that
takes
us
to
our
next
agenda
item,
which
would
be
agenda
item
f,
and
that
is
our
work
program
revisions
in
accordance
with
nrs
353.22,
and
this
is
an
informational
only
item,
but
mr
thorley,
if
you
could,
if
you
could
walk
us
through
that
agenda
item
as
well
as
I
believe
we
can
move,
do
that
g
and
o
and
see
if
we
have
any
other
items
to
pull.
J
J
Lastly,
on
page
3
regarding
agenda
item
18,
there
is
a
revision
that
has
been
requested
by
the
agency.
However,
this
revision-
this
is
a
second
revision
you'll
note
on
the
list
that
there
was
already
a
revision,
reducing
the
transfer
amount
to
two
hundred
and
forty
six
thousand
five
hundred
dollars.
J
J
Therefore,
there
would
only
be
one
loan
from
the
the
loan
program
for
the
teach
las
vegas
charter
school.
So
again,
the
agency
is
requesting
a
revision
to
that
work
program
to
162
thousand
five
hundred
dollars.
J
J
J
On
page
11
I'll
just
note
again,
item
60
has
been
identified
for
additional
discussion
and
again
item
60
relates
to
g39
and
will
be
heard
jointly
with
g39
on
page
12
of
list
g
item,
65
has
been
identified
for
additional
discussion.
J
I
will
note
that
there
there
is
a
revised
amount
on
the
list.
Revising
the
request
to
4.9
million.
J
J
Regarding
item
105,
the
agency
has
requested
a
revision
that
is
not
reflected
on
the
agenda.
J
J
J
The
next
item
is
on
page
22
of
list
g
number,
126,
health
and
human
services,
public
and
behavioral
health,
public
health
preparation
preparedness
program
that
has
been
identified
for
additional
discussion.
N
J
Back
on
list
g
agenda
items,
132
a
g132
and
g133
contain
various
work
programs
allocating
coronavirus
relief
funds.
Both
those
items
will
be
pulled
for
additional
discussion,
so
that's
g132
and
133.
J
A
Thank
you,
mr
thorley.
Do
any
of
the
members
have
any
other
items
that
they
would
like
to
see
pulled
from
any
of
those
senator
gokuchiya.
M
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
If
we
can
pull
98,
I
just
got
a
quick
question
on
that.
A
Any
other
members
have
any
other
items
that
they
would
like
to
get
pulled.
What
about
our
members
on
zoom
any
any
items
that
we
need
to
pull
all
right?
Thank
you
all
right.
So
we'll
add
g98
to
that.
A
A
So
I
we
we've
pulled
those
items
and
I
would
take
a
motion
to
approve
all
other
items
under
item
g
and
except
for
the
ones
that
we've
pulled
for
further
discussion.
So
I
have
a
motion
from
vice
chair
carlton.
I
have
a
second
from
senator
dennis.
Do
we
have
any
discussion
on
that
motion
all
right,
seeing
none
all
in
favor?
I.
A
So
the
motion
passes
unanimously
with
the
members
present
and
we
can
move
into
item
g,
our
items
that
we
are
going
to
further
discussion
on,
and
so
we
will
start
with
we'll
take
them
in
order.
I
think,
and
we'll
start
with
item
11
from
the
department
of
administration.
A
That
would
be
great
and
broadcast
services.
We
cannot
see
them,
but
if,
if
there's,
if
we
could
cycle
over
to
them
on
the
screen,
that'd
be
great.
A
B
Good
morning
for
the
record,
I'm
heidi
hearts
and
I
serve
as
the
deputy
superintendent
for
the
student
investment
division
in
the
nevada
department
of
education.
The
first
department
of
education
work
program
before
you
today
requests
expenditure
authority
for
431
497
in
the
superintendent's
budget
account.
These
funds
are
intended
to
support
the
costs
associated
with
a
new
state
position
that
the
department
of
education
would
like
to
establish
and
utilize
for
the
duration
of
the
arp
sr
funding
period.
B
B
A
Thank
you,
ms
harts.
I
appreciate
that
and
I
think
our
first
question
will
come
from
senator
dennis.
M
M
D
B
Heidi
hearts
for
the
record.
First,
I
apologize
to
the
committee.
The
position
I
previously
mentioned
would
end
in
january
of
2025,
and
then
the
second
work
program
does
request
expenditure
authority
for
additional
funds
to
be
funded
through
our
besser.
I'm
senator
dennis
with
respect
to
your
question.
We
are
requesting
funds
so
that
we
can
enter
into
a
contractual
agreement
with
an
external
auditing
firm
so
that
they
can
conduct
audits
of
our
subrecipients
and
contractors
on
an
independent
basis
and
assist
the
department
of
education.
B
We
don't
currently
have
the
capacity
to
conduct
audits
for
these
federal
funds,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
do
everything
possible
to
ensure
that
the
funds
are
appropriately
extended
and
reimbursed
not
only
meeting
the
requirements
of
the
federal
government
that
pertain
to
the
arbester
funds,
but
also
the
funding
requirements
within
the
state
of
nevada.
We
believe
that
the
use
of
an
independent
audit
firm
will
allow
us
to
fulfill
this
purpose.
M
B
Heidi
hearts,
for
the
record,
we
did
reach
out
to
several
audit
firms
to
try
to
collect
some
very
high
level
information
and
we
certainly
didn't
want
to
become
too
specific
and
potentially
jeopardize
the
solicitation
process.
Moving
forward.
Based
on
the
information
that
we
received
from
three
firms
that
we
reached
out
to,
it
seemed
reasonable
to
estimate
approximately
five
million
dollars
a
year,
understanding
that
the
federal
funds
are
available
for
more
than
just
the
two
fiscal
years
that
we've
currently
budgeted.
For.
B
A
Thank
you,
ms
hart,
so
I
just
want
to
verify
what
I
think
I
heard
so
you
haven't
got
an
amount
yet
from
a
vendor
on
exactly
what
an
audit
would
cost
and
you
are
planning
to
if,
in
the
event
that
the
audit
was
less
than
this
10
million
identified,
using
what
other
monies
would
were
left
over
on
other
things,
not
audit
related.
B
A
Thank
you,
ms
harts.
Any
other
questions
on
this
particular
item.
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
miss
hearts!
So
if
in
in
looking
at
this
and
and
we,
we
appreciate
the
fact
that
you
haven't
gone
out
to
bid
yet
so
it's
it's
kind
of
difficult
to
figure
out
where
you're
going
to
go
and
knowing
full
well
on
our
side
of
the
coin,
our
audit
division
is
going
to
look
at
what
these
auditors
do
too.
D
So
it's
it's
gonna
get
at
least
two
looks
instead
of
doing
the
whole
10
million
dollars
right
now,
since
you're
not
sure
you're
going
to
be
able
to
spend
it
all,
and
you
want
to
be
able
to
at
least
get
a
running
start
at
it.
If
we
were
to
allocate
the
first
5
million
for
the
first
year,
knowing
your
rfp
has
got
to
go
out,
it's
going
to
take
time
to
get
that
filled.
So
this
isn't
going
to
start
july
1st.
This
is
going
to
start
further
into
the
fiscal
year.
D
If
we
started
with
the
the
first
amount
of
money
and
then
after
you
had
a
contract,
you
could
bring
the
contract
back.
We
could
have
conversations
about
it,
see
what
the
components
are
and
what
the
workload
looks.
Like
see
what
the
real
amount
might
be
and
then
have
further
discussions
about
the
other
dollars
and
where
we
would
like
to
see
those
those
dollars
go,
so
was
there
any
consideration
to
a
process
like
that.
D
So
we
want
you
to
have
the
money
in
the
bank
to
be
able
to
go
out
to
rfp,
but
I'm
a
bit
concerned
we're
just
giving
you
we're
using
the
word
tranche
a
lot
lately
the
tranche
of
money
and
then,
if
there's
some
left
over
you're
gonna
spend
it.
That's
typically
not
how
we
work
with
with
work
programs.
Money
would
come
back
to
us.
We
would
have
a
discussion
on
where
those
dollars
should
be
reallocated.
B
B
If
we
didn't
expend
the
or
obligate
the
full
10
million
dollars,
we
would
be
happy
to
come
back
to
the
interim
finance
committee
with
a
new
proposal
so
that
you
have
a
chance
to
vet
that
as
well.
We
appreciate
your
interest
in
how
these
funds
are
invested
and
we
we
look
forward
to
the
ongoing
partnership.
D
And
no
and
thank
you,
miss
hearts
for
the
answer
and
knowing
full
well.
This
will
have
to
go
through
the
boy.
Typically,
it
would
go
through
the
board
of
examiner's
process
and
and
come
to
us,
and
we
would
do
it
that
way,
but
we
understand
the
uniqueness
of
of
this
work
program
and
and
the
situation.
But,
mr
chairman,
my
inclination
would
be
to
to
do
the
first
round
of
money.
D
Have
them
go
out?
Get
those
contracts
come
back
to
us,
have
a
conversation
knowing
full
well
we're
going
to
be
meeting
every
six
to
eight
weeks,
possibly
even
more,
depending
upon
how
these
federal
dollars
sift
through
all
the
state
budgets
and
and
have
a
conversation
about
that,
so
that
we
make
sure
any
dollars
that
are
left
over
go
to
some
of
the
other
really
important
programs
that
we
need
to
fund
through
the
department
of
education.
So
that
would
be
my
inclination.
A
Thank
you
vice
chair,
carlton,
a
question
for
you:
miss
hearts,
so
you're
you're
looking
to
enter
into
a
multi-year
contract
with
the
audit
firm
and,
and
did
you
state
that
there
was
a
restriction
on
entering
into
a
multi-year
contract
unless
there
was
multi-year
funding
in
place
to
enter
into
that
contract.
A
Thank
you
appreciate
that
I
have
another
question
from
senator
donderolu.
G
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
just
I'm
just
trying
to
clarify
what
I
heard
said
by
vice
chair,
carlton
and
chair
brooks,
so
in
my
understanding
that
we
would
allocate
money
for
the
first
year
and
then
come
back
and
reallocate
money
for
the
second
year
and
with
that
being
said,
miss
hearts
confirmed
that
we
could.
G
B
That
heidi
hearts
for
the
record.
B
If
we,
I
believe,
if
the
department
were
to
work
with
the
purchasing
division
to
begin
the
solicitation
process,
we
would
indicate
that
this
is
a
one-year
contract
for
the
amount
of
money
that
the
interim
finance
committee
authorizes
the
department
to
obligate
up
to
that
amount
of
money.
The
solicitation
in
the
contract
could
include
language.
That
would
then
indicate
that
it
is
possible
that
the
contract
could
be
extended
for
additional
years
and
for
additional
funds.
The
department
does
have
contracts
in
place
currently
that
include
similar
language,
so
that
is
not
outside
of
our
customary
business
practices.
A
Thank
you,
miss
hearts
and
do
we
did
we
have
we
have
a
question
from
assemblywoman
benitez
thompson?
Please.
H
Thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much
chairman,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
kind
of
had
the
time
frame
right.
I
heard
you
make
a
statement,
miss
hearts
about
the
audits
that
you
envision
and
so
it
the
first.
I
believe
that
your
department
has
already
submitted
to
the
federal
government.
H
Reports
that
had
not
yet
been
done
and
making
sure,
then
that
the
audits
are
supporting
information
that
you
would
make
public
going
forward
so
kind
of
like
your
own
internal
audits
of
those
dollars,
then
in
kind
of
helping
to
form
the
reports
that
are
going
to
be
made
public?
Is
that
what
what
we
would
expect.
B
Heidi
hearts,
for
the
record,
the
intent
of
the
external
auditors
is
that
they
would
audit
all
subrecipients
and
and
contractors
to
confirm
that
the
expenses
that
have
been
processed
through
the
arp
esser
funds
were
reasonable
and
appropriate,
and
within
alignment
with
federal
and
state
laws
and
regulations,
they
would
be
limited
to
projects
and
activities
funded
through
arp
esser.
They
would.
The
audit
results
would
be
utilized
to
benefit
and
to
protect
the
department
of
education
and
the
state
of
nevada
to
ensure
that
we're
not
reimbursing
our
sub
recipients
or
our
contractors
for
disallowed
expenses.
B
Heidi
hearts,
for
the
record.
Currently
within
the
department
of
education,
we
reimburse
our
sub-recipients
for
services
or
expenditures
incurred.
The
audit
firms
would
then
go
back
and
confirm
in
more
detail
that
the
expenditures
submitted
for
reimbursement
are
in
compliance
with
state
and
federal
laws
and
regulations.
B
Specific
to
these
funds,
the
department
of
education
does
have
an
audit
team.
They
audit
selected
federal
grants
and
state
grants
in
each
fiscal
year.
They
also
audit
our
enrollment
records
to
confirm
that
we
have
accurate
enrollment
data
when
we
make
payments
through
the
distributive
school
accounts,
because
the
arp
esser
funds
represent
1.5
billion
dollars
of
new
federal
funds.
We
do
not
have
the
capacity
to
adequately
and
thoroughly
audit
those
grants,
in
addition
to
the
work
that
we
already
have
in
place.
G
Thank
you
very
much
and
I
I
just
once
again
want
to
confirm.
We
have
1.5
billion.
Is
that
what
you
said
miss
hearts
coming
in,
and
so
I'm
sort
of
doing
some
math
here,
because
I
know
that
the
department
has
lost
several
positions
over
the
last,
I
would
say
five
or
six
years
and
I
just
am
going
to
go
to
bat
here
a
little
bit
for
them
because
I
feel
like
this
is
about.
I
don't
know.
G
Maybe
one
percent-
and
I
and
I
totally
appreciate,
what's
being
said
and
and
don't
have
a
problem
with
us
doing
it
in
two
steps,
but
I
do
think
it's
important
for
the
transparency
for
us
to
have
someone
in
place
for
that
amount
of
money
that
we
are
bringing
into
the
state.
So
thank
you.
I
I
So
with
the
education's
program
supervisor,
I
believe
that's
the
position
that
you
mentioned
miss
hearts
earlier,
that
it
would
expire,
and
I
heard
two
different
dates-
whether
it's
january
2024
or
september
30th
2024,
and
then
there
was
a
2025
thrown
in
there.
So
that's
my
first
question
because
I
I
only
need
brief
responses
for
this.
I
So
if
you
could
tell
me
which
date
that
would
expire
on
and
also
are,
is
this
the
position
that
would
be
because
in
our
notes
it
says
that
they're
working
with
vendors
and
contractors
and
school
districts,
so
are
they
the
ones
working
with
the
audit
team,
because
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
if
this
position
is
separate
or
if
they're,
the
ones
that
are
working
alongside
the
audit
team
and
if
this
position
is
set
to
expire
because
of
the
funds?
Is
this
going
to
be
a
contractual
position
as
well
or
is
this?
B
Heidi
hearts,
for
the
record,
so
the
department
of
education
through
these
two
work
programs
has
requested
one
state
position:
the
educational
programs
supervisor,
which
would
provide
oversight
to
the
implementation
and
the
monitoring
of
the
arbesser
funds.
There
are
a
great
deal
of
reporting
requirements
and
a
great
deal
of
collaboration
and
coordination.
That
needs
to
be
done
not
only
within
the
department
of
education
but
across
our
stakeholder
groups
and
with
our
contractors,
our
sub
recipients
and
our
vendors.
B
We've
also
requested
additional
funding
to
hire
up
to
12
temporary
contract
positions.
Those
temporary
contract
positions
would
be
located
within
the
student
investment
division
and
would
help
us
to
manage
the
sub
grants
and
contracts
that
we
anticipate
will
be
in
place
to
expend
the
rpsr
funding
over
the
course
of
that
grant
period.
B
All
of
the
positions,
whether
they
are
the
state
position
or
the
contracted
temporary
positions,
would
end
when
the
federal
funding
ends.
At
this
point
in
time,
it's
anticipated
that
those
activities
would
end
in
december
of
2024,
based
on
the
information
we
currently
have
from
the
federal
government
on
when
the
funding
period
will
expire.
B
B
So
we
may
at
some
point,
return
to
the
interim
finance
committee
if
this
path
continues
to
be
as
unproductive
as
it
has
been
so
far
to
see.
If
we
can
convert
these
two
state
positions
as
well
again,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
resources
that
we
need
to
best
meet
the
needs
of
associated
with
this
grant
in
its
administration,
but
also
making
sure
that
our
school
districts,
our
charter,
schools
and
our
other
partners
are
not
impacted,
because
we
don't
have
the
capacity
to
support
them
in
the
way
that
they.
A
Need
thank
you
assemblywoman
miller,
and
thank
you
miss
hearts.
Do
we
have
any
other
questions
from
the
committee
on
on
these
two
we're
programs,
assemblyman
levitt,.
N
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
I'm
stepped
out
for
a
few
minutes,
so
this
question
might
have
been
asked
and
and
sorry
if
it's,
if
it's
more
of
a
rookie
question,
but
so
we
we
talked
about
the
auditing
process
and
it
seems
like
there's
some
redundancy
there's
as
far
as
the
spending
of
the
money,
the
it
from
what
I
heard
from
from
my
colleagues,
the
we're
having
an
auditor
audit,
the
auditor,
and
so
it
seems
like
what
is
the
need
for
that
redundancy,
and
maybe
it's
maybe
it's
put
in
place,
and
I
didn't
don't
realize
it.
N
It's
put
in
place
for
a
reason,
but
it
seems
like
if
lcb
is
going
to
audit
these
funds
anyway.
Why
do
we
need
an
outside
auditor
and
spend?
You
know
five
to
ten
million
dollars
to
do
that
when
we
we
have.
We
have
an
auditing
process
in
place.
That's
outside
of
the
outside,
of
the
the
the
department
of
education.
D
Mr
chairman,
if
I
could
clarify
to
to
my
colleague
in
the
front
row
that
that
was
more
my
conversation
about,
we
have
an
audit
division.
Eventually,
this
will
all
come
to
us
looking
at
all
these
different
work
programs.
So
if
I
confused
folks
that
was
my
fault
that
there
I
don't
believe
there
would
be
a
redundancy.
D
I
was
just
talking
about
how
we,
when
they
get
done
with
it,
all
eventually
down
the
road,
if
you're
still
here
further
on
you'll,
be
looking
at
all
this,
but
they
need
a
separate
audit
and
compliance
component
and
that's
what
this
work
program
is.
So
if
I
confused
you
that
was,
that
was
my
fault.
I
apologize,
mr
chairman.
N
A
Thank
you
assuming
love
it.
I
I
view
it
more
as
a
compliance
compliance
issue
than
an
audit
issue
and
I
think
it's
a
great
idea
and
very
necessary
measure
if
we
have
this
kind
of
money
coming
into
the
department
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
it's
used
to
the
highest
and
most
effective
level.
M
M
In
your
response
you
mentioned,
I
think
I
kind
of
heard
that
by
having
a
two-year
it's
more
attractive
to
an
accounting
firm
to
bid
on
a
two-year
contract
that
we
might
have
a
harder
time
than
bidding
on
one,
but
the
other
question
that
I
had
that
goes
along
with
that.
Would
we
get
a
better
price
if
we
do
a
two-year
contract.
B
I
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
so
I
have
a
question
because
of
the
answer
that
you
just
gave
when
you
go
into
the
negotiations
with
the
contractor
the
vendor,
whoever
that
is
you
do
not
let
them
know
up
front
how
much
money
you
have
to
spend
on
that
contract.
I
B
B
I
don't
know
for
certainty
whether
the
purchasing
division
would
indicate
that
we
should
disclose
the
amount
of
funding
available
or
ask
for
the
cost.
The
advantage
of
disclosing
the
initial
amount
of
funding
available
is
that
a
vendor
could
tailor
their
proposed
scope
of
work
to
address
the
needs
of
the
state,
as
well
as
the
available
funding.
If
no
maximum
amount
is
identified,
then
we
create
an
opportunity
by
which
a
vendor
may
put
forward
a
proposal
that
far
exceeds
the
resources
that
we
have
available
for
this
project.
I
I
So
if
you
were
to
go
into
the
negotiation
with
the
the
five
million
now
saying
that
you
wanted
to
have
a
multi-year,
you
wouldn't
be
paying
for
the
full
multi-year
up
front,
you
could
pay
for
the
first
year.
Knowing
the
vendor
would
know
that
the
money
would
be
available
to
come
back
for
you
to
come
back
and
with
the
payment
for
the
second
year,
so
you
could
still
negotiate
a
multi-year
contract.
Even
if
you
didn't
have
the
full
amount
of
cash
money
up
front,
correct.
B
While
I
appreciate
that,
if
vendors
don't
know
the
maximum
dollar
value
of
the
contract
available,
you
could
potentially
get
a
better
price.
However,
by
virtue
of
this
public
meeting,
where
we've
indicated
that
we
believe
that
this
work
may
cost
up
to
10
million
dollars
and
the
interim
finance
committee
is
suggesting
that
they
would
like
to
start
with
5
million
or
less.
That
does
give
possible
vendors
opportunity
to
know
what
the
targeted
available
funds
might
be
again.
I
Thank
you
so
much
for
that,
so
because
we
are
in
the
a
public
meeting,
I
appreciate
you
saying
that
any
vendor
that
we
do
go
after
would
be
able
to
look
at
this
record
know
that,
even
though
the
5
million
dollars
would
be
available
now
the
multi-year
contract
would
be
paid
for.
So
I
thank
you
so
much
for
getting
that
on
the
record.
A
H
Thanks
and
I
appreciate
it,
this
goes
back
to
my
line
of
questions.
For
so
I
was
just
because
I'm
always
you
know
want
to
make
sure
that,
at
the
end
of
the
process,
my
understanding
of
what
I,
how
I
thought
something
would
play
out,
is
as
how
it's
going
to
play
up,
and
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
these
questions
aren't
of
whether
or
not
we
support
the
idea
or
of
an
audit
or
not.
H
My
my
question
is
just
more
like
exactly
what
that
work
product
will
look
like
at
the
end,
and
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
my
understanding
is
clear,
and
so
because
it's
the-
and
I
think
I
thought
of
a
better
way
to
ask
the
question.
Ultimately
so
the
audit
it's
gonna
I
was
trying
to
get
at
is
whose
door
they're
walking
through
and
how
frequently.
H
So
I
think
my
understanding
is
they're
not
doing
an
audit
of
nde
like
once
a
year
or
we'll
say
once
a
year.
I
guess
the
frequency
is
your
guys
are
going
to
be
determined,
but
it
would
be
you're
sending
the
auditor
to
the
sub
group
that
the
auditor
will
walk
through
the
sub
grantees
office
in
at
like
once
a
year.
So
am
I
understanding
that
right,
you're
not
asking
for
an
audit
of
yourself
you're,
going
to
send
the
auditor
into
the
sub
grantees
office
and
and
audit
them?
B
A
D
And
thank
thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
you
know
just
a
a
closing
statement.
We
really
do
appreciate
the
audit
function.
If
you
don't
monitor
and
measure
it,
you
know
you,
you
can't
get
a
true
feeling
for
where
these
dollars
are
going
and,
ultimately
you
know
the
department
will
be
held
accountable
will
be
held
accountable,
the
administration.
D
You
know
we
totally
appreciate
the
audit
function.
We
just
want
to
make
sure
that,
as
we
disperse
these
dollars,
not
with
the
department
of
education
but
with
other
departments,
we've
had
problems
where
we've,
given
it
all
to
them
and
found
out
at
the
end
that
none
of
it
worked
and
we
ended
up
in
a
lawsuit.
We
had
to
fund
it
all
over
again,
so
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
whoever
does
get
the
rfp.
Whoever
does
it.
We
can
watch
them
move
forward.
D
This
is
a
whole
new
world
for
us,
so
we
just
want
to
be
able
to
build
in
some
of
that
transparency
and
ongoing
communication
between
the
department
and
ifc
and
on
how
these
dollars
are
spent
in
the
future.
So
I
totally
appreciate
this
audit
function
and
with
that
being
said,
mr
chairman,
I
would
my
motion
would
include
approval
of
the
items
with
the
one
change.
D
As
far
as
the
10
million
dollars
go,
approving
the
5
million
dollars
as
the
beginning
of
it,
not
knowing
whether
that
will
pay
for
a
full
year
a
year
and
a
half
or
less
than
a
year,
with
five
million
dollars
to
start
the
process.
And
then
when
a
contract
is
done,
they
can
come
back.
We
can
have
further
conversations
and
see
where
we
are
from
there
knowing
full
well
that
these
dollars
will
be
be
available.
D
We
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
that
ongoing
conversation
about
the
rfp
process
and
who
ends
up
performing
these
functions
so
that
that
would
be.
My
motion
is
to
disperse
the
first
5
million,
and
if
this
thing
goes
really
well,
who
knows
they
could
be
back
in
two
ifcs
and
ask
for
the
second
half
and
we
may
all
sing
kumbaya
and
move
forward
so
that
that
would
be
my
motion.
A
D
Trying
to
enter
yes
full
intention,
and
I
I
believe
that
even
after
the
two
years
we're
going
to
have
you
all
will
have
further
conversations
about
extending
it
even
longer
to
make
sure
that
these
dollars
are
well
spent.
So,
but
this
is
just
the
first
stab
at
the
first
two
years,
because
we
do
things
in
an
interim
basis,
so
this
would
be
for
the
first
two
years.
Yes,.
A
All
right,
I
have
a
motion.
Do
we
have
any
discussion
on
that
motion?
I
have
a
second
from.
I
have
a
motion
from
vice
chair
carlton,
a
second
from
senator,
dennis
any
discussion
on
the
motion.
Senator
dennis.
M
I
think
you
just
clarified
this,
but
the
way
I
understood
this
is
they're
going
to
negotiate
for
a
two-year
contract,
but
we're
going
to
only
front
the
first
five
million
dollars
and
then
because
we've
done
this
before
when
we
do
like
a
five-year
contract
or
whatever
right
so
so
we're
giving
them
authority
to
negotiate
for
the
two-year
and
gonna
put
the
five
million
dollars
up.
Okay,
all.
A
Right
correct
all
right.
Thank
you.
Any
other
discussion
on
the
motion,
seeing
none
all
in
favor
aye
and
if
we
could
go
back
to
the
screen
broadcast
services,
where
we
could
see
our
members
to
make
sure
that
they
are
see
how
they're
voting.
A
All
right,
please
raise
your
hand
if
you
are
in
agreement
all
right,
great
everyone's
agreement,
so
all
opposed,
nay,
and
the
motion
passes
unanimously
with
the
members
present.
Thank
you
and
that
that
brings
us
to
our
next
item
under
g,
and
this
is
item
17.
While
we
have
the
department
of
education
there's,
not
necessarily
any
concerns
with
this
item.
I
just
wanted
to.
I
have
a
question:
while
we
have
you
here.
A
When
I'm
looking
at,
for
instance,
washoe
and
clark,
washer
and
clark
make
up
less
than
half
of
that
funding,
and
you
know
washoe
and
clark
joined,
make
up
pro
80
of
all
the
kids
in
the
in
the
state
and
and
the
a
lot
of
the
urban
areas
and
and
the
hardest
hit
areas
of
the
state
are
in
washington
clark
and
so
how?
Just
briefly
how?
How
is
that
distribution?
It
says
it's
competitively
awarded,
but
it
seems
a
little.
It
doesn't
seem
to
align
with
the
need
how
how
is
the?
A
What
is
the
the
criteria
by
which
that
was
awarded
to
schools
and
school
districts.
B
B
This
is
very
similar
to
some
of
the
other
funding
that
we
had
received
where
funds
were
allocated
using
the
methodology
for
title
1
funds
as
a
comparison.
So
it
just
happens
that,
with
the
homeless
funding
they're
looking
at
another
grant,
that's
similar
in
nature
and
suggesting
that
that's
how
the
allocation
should
be
done.
B
A
A
It
just
screams
at
me
that,
like
you
know,
carson
city
has
a
similar
homeless
problem
as
washoe
county
that
there's
that
something's
off
there,
and
so
I
just
like
a
little
bit
more
clarification.
C
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
for
the
record.
That's
the
state
superintendent,
joan
ebert,
and
we
have
dr
on
the
line,
we'll
answer.
A
Thank
you,
I'm
sure
that
is
factually
correct,
but
that
does
not
help
me
understand
anything.
So
how
how
why?
Let
me
just
ask
it
really
bluntly:
why
does
carson
city
a
population
of
what
50,
000
people,
50
60
000
people,
get
170,
000
and
and
clark
population
of
two
point:
something
million
and
get
roughly
twice
that
342
thousand.
F
F
For
the
record,
it
is
awarded
proportionally,
and
so
at
this
point
there
is
a
methodology
from
the
federal
government
to
account
for
the
number
and
percentage
of
homeless
youth,
but
there
are
also
other
indicators
across
the
state
that
go
into
a
formula
that
helps
us
to
determine
what
the
funding
will
be
for
each
of
the
districts
across
the
state
for
the
homeless.
F
And
so
we
do
review
the
district
applications.
F
Districts
apply
for
these
grants
competitively,
and
then
it
is
in
alignment
with
their
needs,
and
so
as
districts
are
submitting
competitive
grants
to
the
nevada
department
of
education,
we
are
reviewing
for
the
alignment
with
their
needs
for
homeless
youth,
as
well
as
their
capacity
to
respond
to
serving
the
needs
of
homeless
youth,
and
so
that
is
one
primary
reason
why
you
might
see,
or
one
might
see
the
disproportionality
that
you're
pointing
out.
But
again
that
is
based
on
guidance
from
the
federal
government.
A
Thank
you
that
that
answers
my
question
exactly
so
it's
based
on
quality
of
the
application
and
quality
of
the
plan
as
well,
not
just
the
need.
So
I
appreciate
that
that
question
that
answers
my
question
thoroughly:
senator
don
darrell
luke.
You
still
have
a
question.
G
So
proportionately,
you
can
assume
that
we
have
in
clark
county
about
7,
000
or
more
homeless
students,
which
would
be
the
amount
of
students
total
in
carson
city,
and
that
would
also
be
about
the
same
with
churchill.
I
know
that
elko's
a
little
bit
more
so
so,
how
do
we
get
the
quality
of
those
applications?
How
do
we
help
those
districts
with
the
quality
of
those
applications?
Or
is
that
not
your
responsibility,
which
I
would
understand.
F
Saying
yankee
for
the
record,
the
nevada
department
of
education
is
responsible
for
providing
supports
to
our
local
education
agencies
and
it
is
our
responsibility
to
help
each
of
the
districts
to
submit
competitive
grant
applications
and
to
build
their
capacity
for
serving
and
meeting
the
needs
of
our
homeless
youth,
which,
as
we
all
know,
are
one
of
our
our
most
underserved
historically
underserved
student
groups,
not
just
in
the
state
but
across
the
nation.
So
it
is
something
that,
within
the
nevada
department
of
education,
we
have
prioritized
on
some
of
the
things
that
we
do.
F
Is
we
meet
regularly
with
district
leaders
to
discuss
the
supports
that
they
provide
to
to
homeless
youth?
We
provide
technical
assistance
in
collaboration
with
national
partners
with
partners
across
the
state.
We
are
building
and
expanding
the
supports
and
services
that
we
provide
to
district
leaders,
and
so
those
are
some
of
the
mechanisms
that
the
more
traditional
mechanisms
that
we
have
leveraged
within
the
nevada
department
of
education
to
build
and
strengthen
the
capacity
of
our
district
leaders
so
that
they
are
submitting
applications
that
represent
accurately
represent
their
needs
and
align
with
their
needs.
F
But
that
also
address
and
meet
the
needs
of
our
homeless
youth,
and
then
I
will
just
also
add
that
one
of
the
reasons
why
the
nevada
department
of
education
is
so
excited
about
these
funds,
in
particular
from
the
feds,
is
because
there
is
a
need
for
additional
funds
to
develop,
to
strengthen
the
capacity
of
our
district
leaders
across
the
state
and
so
part
of
the
funding.
A
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
assemblywoman
miller.
I
F
We
do
have
some
of
the
data,
but
I
do
want
to
put
out
there
one
of
the
reasons
why,
again,
that
we
are
very
excited
about
receiving
these
federal
relief
funds
is
to
help
ensure
that
we
are
collecting
accurate
numbers
for
homeless
youth
right
now,
and
I
want
to
be
clear
about
this-
the
the
data
systems
there
there
is
a
need
for
us
to
to
strengthen
the
capacity
for
that.
F
In
addition,
spsa,
that's
the
state
public
charter
school
authority
did
not
have
the
authority
to
receive
the
fund,
so
we
do
need
to
get
back
to
you
on
the
student
accounts.
In
particular,
I
think
it's
important
to
note
homeless
to
funds.
The
methodology
does
not
need
to
align
to
the
competitive
funding
so
again
when
we
receive
competitive
grant
applications
from
the
districts
as
well
as
from
charter
schools.
F
We
review
them,
judge
them
off
of
a
rubric
and
then
assess
whether
or
not
those
the
those
districts
have
the
capacity
to
meet
the
needs
of
homeless
youth.
So
it
is
something
that
we
can
work
and
strengthen
to
build
supports
across
the
state,
so
that
districts
are
are
submitting
competitive,
grant
applications
and,
at
the
same
time,
meeting
their
needs.
F
What
I'm
hearing,
what
I'm
hearing
at
this
exact
moment
is
a
need
to
provide
supports
to
those
districts
in
particular
that
have
large
numbers
of
homeless
youth,
and
so
that
is
something
that
we
can
also
redirect
attention
to.
Moving
forward.
I
And
maybe
this
is
more
of
a
statement,
but
I
just
feel
that
we're
not
capturing
all
of
the
the
homeless
youth
that
we
have
in
our
state.
This
is
a
very
condensed
list
and
you
know
even
looking
at
esmeralda,
which
I
believe
is
one
of
our
most
struggling
counties.
I
I
just
don't
feel
that
we're
capturing
and
and
kind
of
it's
not
clear
between
which
is
competitive
and
and
and
the
the
process
for
on
these
grants,
and
if
there's
already
an
recognized
need
to
help
the
districts
apply
for
them.
I
You
know
submit
a
more
quality
application.
I
really
feel
that
should
have
been
taken
into
consideration,
because
it
does
not
look
like
we're
capturing
and
especially
among
the
charter
schools.
All
of
the
students
that
would
be
in
need
in
all
of
the
programming
that's
necessary.
A
A
I
I
have
a
a
first
from
senara
dennis
a
second
from
vice
chair
carlton,
any
discussion
on
that
motion
all
right
and
seeing
none
all
in
favor
aye
and
if
we
could
go
to
our.
A
A
All
right,
everybody's
eye
on
the
zoom,
thank
you
on
any
opposed,
nay,
and
the
motion
passes
unanimously
with
the
members
present,
and
I
just
also
want
to
clarify
that
just
just
for
the
purposes
of
clarification
that
we
did
include
item
14
with
item
16.
When
we
took
that
motion
we
took
those
together
and
vice
chair
carlton
made
that
motion
for
both
of
those
I
think
there.
A
It
might
have
been
a
little
vague,
but
I
just
want
to
make
that
clarification
and
then,
if
we
can
go
to
next
up
would
be
item
18.
A
While
we
did
not
pull
that
for
discussion,
we
did
make
a
modification
staff
noted
a
modification
to
that
that
item,
so
I
think
it
was
appropriate
to
actually
it
wasn't
in
the
consent
agenda
as
a
as
modified.
So
I
would
take
a
motion
to
approve
item
18
as
amended
by
staff
and
to
approve
that
item
all
right
cool.
We
got
a
a
motion
from
vice
chair
dennis.
A
second
from
excuse
me
vice
chair
carlton,
a
second
from
senator,
dennis
any
discussion
on
that
motion.
A
Broadcast
services,
we
cannot
see
our
members
there,
we
go
they're
all
eyes
as
well.
Thank
you.
All
opposed,
nay
and
motion
passes
unanimously
with
all
the
members
present
and
we
can
go
to
our
next
item
under
g
and
that
would
be
item
24
if
I'm
correct,
and
that
is
from
department
of
business
and
industry.
Housing
account
for
low
income,
housing
work
program.
O
Morning,
chair
brooks,
would
you
like
me
to
provide
an
overview?
Please
do.
Thank
you
again.
Good
morning,
chair
brooks
vice
chair
carlton
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record.
I'm
steve
aycroth,
administrator
of
the
nevada
housing
division
with
me
today
is
michael
holliday,
chief
financial
officer
of
the
division
and
in
las
vegas
we
have
maurice
campbell
the
ceo
of
the
nevada,
affordable
housing,
assistance
corporation
or
nahak.
O
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
consideration
of
the
acceptance
of
homeowner
assistance
funds
provided
in
the
american
rescue
plan,
the
homeowner
assistance
fund,
or
I'm
going
to
call
it
haf,
was
established
to
mitigate
financial
hardships
associated
with
the
coronavirus
pandemic
by
providing
funds
for
the
purpose
of
preventing
homeowner
mortgages,
mortgage
delinquencies,
foreclosures
defaults,
loss
of
utilities
and
home
energy
services
and
displacements
of
homeowners
experiencing
financial
hardship.
After
january
21st
2020
through
qualified
expenses
related
to
mortgages
and
housing,
the
state
of
nevada
will
be
receiving
a
total
of
121
million
in
haf.
O
This
first
tranche-
and
I
apologize
for
the
use
of
the
word
trunks,
but
it's
going
to
come
up
frequently
we're
specifically
designed
to
accomplish
three
things:
one
to
begin
to
procure
the
infrastructure
needed
to
administer
the
program,
two
begin
to
hire
staff
to
administer
the
program,
three
begin
to
create,
reinstate
or
continue
existing
programs
to
assist
homeowners.
O
O
I
would
like
the
committee
to
know
that
recent
communications
with
treasury
indicate
they
will
provide,
be
providing
an
extension
of
that
june
30th
deadline,
as
they
have
not
established
the
templates
and
communications
that
we
need
to
submit
those
plans,
unlike
the
emergency
rental
assistance
which
you'll
hear
next
and
which
was
divided
between
local
jurisdictions
and
the
state
haf
funding
is
provided
solely
to
the
state
if
approved.
Today.
O
The
housing
division
will
engage
the
nevada,
affordable,
housing
corporation
assistance
corporation
to
be
the
entity
to
disperse
those
funds
as
nahack,
and
in
particular,
the
nahac
leadership
team
led
by
miss
campbell,
has
had
great
experience
with
u.s
treasury
homeowner
assistance
programs.
O
D
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
a
croft.
We,
we
do
have
a
number
of
questions,
but
your
last
statement
last
couple
of
statements
so
they've
extended
the
june
30th
deadline.
Do
you
have
a
date
for
that?
Did
I
miss
that.
O
Steve
across
for
the
record,
they
have
not
extended
the
june
30th
deadline
as
we
speak.
They
have
indicated
that
they
will
be
extending
that
deadline.
D
And
we
don't
know
what
the
date
will
be
yet
so
you'll
you
can
keep
us
informed
on
that
moving
forward,
and
so
this
is
homeowner
assistance.
But
this
first
10
percent
basically
is
just
to
set
up
the
program
and
get
everything
all
lined
up
so
that
the
money
can
hit
the
ground
and
help
the
individual,
homeowners
and
you're.
Saying
that
the
the
major
is.
Is
it
an
age
at
the
who's
going
to
actually
be
managing
the
money.
O
D
D
We
were
more
afraid
of
evictions
on
the
rental
side.
So
seeing
a
program
come
forward
for
homeowners
is
is
very
gratifying,
because
I
can
tell
you
two
of
the
largest
groups
in
southern
nevada,
that
you're
probably
going
to
see
come
forward.
Looking
for
this
assistance
so
through
nahack,
is
this
going
to
be
subgranted
out
to
other
entities
for
them
to
be
able
to
reach
out
to
those
groups
that
we
know,
need
this
assistance,
or
is
everything
going
to
be
funneled
through
nahak.
O
O
Yeah
stevie
across
for
the
record,
the
initial
funding
that
we
will
receive
will
go
to
nehec,
and
then
I
will
let
miss
campbell
commentary
on
exactly
how
she
plans
to
initiate
that
funding.
R
Madam
vice
chair,
I
believe,
I'm
maurice
campbell
and
to
the
members
of
the
committee.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
to
be
here
again
maurice
campbell.
R
V-E-R-I-S-E-C-A-M-P-B-E-L-L
for
the
record-
and
I
am
the
ceo
for
the
nevada,
affordable
housing
assistance
corporation,
the
nevada,
affordable
housing
assistance
corporation,
also
known
as
nahak.
We
are
the
administrators
of
the
hardest
hit
fund
at
this
time
and
we
are
winding
down
that
particular
program.
It
was
a
200
million
dollar
program.
R
The
first
five
years
of
the
program,
starting
up
was
little
rocky.
I
was
brought
in
approximately
five
years
ago
to
revamp
the
programs
and
get
the
money
out
and
to
make
sure
that
we're
addressing
our
homeowners
in
need
and,
I'm
very
proud
to
say
we
were
able
to
administer
all
of
the
dollars.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
we
were
able
to
distribute
even
more
dollars
than
what
treasury
had
actually
given
us,
because
we
had
received
lean
recoveries
and
we
were
able
to
recycle
those
dollars.
R
So
we
are
very
proud
of
of
that
record
to
be
able
to
turn
it
around
and
then
to
also
say
we
actually
funded
over
9
000
files.
Some
of
those
households
received
assistance
twice
so
that
brought
it
down
to
about
eight
thousand
households
that
we
helped.
So
this
is
another
opportunity
for
us
to
assist
our
homeowners.
We
know
the
pandemic
hit
nevada
very,
very
hard.
We,
as
we
were
winding
down
the
hardest
hit
fund.
R
We
actually
started
keeping
a
list
of
those
homeowners
who
were
calling
asking
for
assistance
for
a
new
program,
so
the
approximately
12
million
12.1
million
dollars
would
be
utilized
to
definitely
set
up
the
infrastructure.
There's
a
new
technology,
new
system
that
needs
to
be
acquired.
R
We
have
to,
of
course,
beef
up
the
staff
again
and
because
we
do
have
experience
in
administering
these
programs,
we
actually
have
a
framework
for
a
couple
of
programs.
We
can
roll
out
we're
looking
at
rolling
out
initially
the
unemployment
mortgage
assistance
program
that
we
were
very
successful
in
providing,
but
we're
going
to
add
another
key
component
to
that.
R
We're
going
to
add
reinstatement
to
the
unemployment
program
that
will
allow
us
to
bring
homeowners
current
and
pay
their
mortgage
to
allow
them
to
truly
get
on
their
feet,
because
that
was
one
thing
we
did
see
during
the
pandemic.
Yeah
we
could
pay
their
mortgage,
but
they
were
still
behind
and
then
the
other
program
that
makes
sense
would
be
to
start
with
a
mortgage
reinstatement
assistance
program
for
those
pro
for
those
homeowners
who
are
now
back
to
work
and
they
just
need
to
be
brought
current.
R
So
those
are
the
two
programs,
the
two
main
programs
we're
looking
at
starting
out.
If
you
know
anything
about
how
I
like
to
do
things,
I
like
to
do
it
very
aggressively,
so
the
12
million
dollars
will
not
just
be
for
infrastructure,
we're
actually
looking
to
roll
out
the
programs
within
that
time
frame
as
well.
D
And
the
chairs
return,
but
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
do
a
quick
follow-up,
and
then
I
have
another
committee
member.
So
it
would
be
my
understanding,
then
that
naheck
would
be
the
sole
administrator
that
these
dollars
would
not
be
subgranted
out,
as
in
other
programs,
in
order
to
to
reach
out
into
the
community
into
to
their
client
base.
It
would
strictly
be
granted
through
nahack
alone.
R
R
That
is,
I
kind
of
went
the
long
way
around.
We
actually
partner
with
the
housing
counseling
agencies.
The
treasury
guidelines
calls
for
up
to
five
percent
of
the
total
amount
of
the
funds
to
go
to
assistance
with
housing,
counseling
agencies,
as
well
as
legal
aid.
We
are
budgeting
to
actually
again
partner
with
our
housing
counseling
agencies.
They
were
very
instrumental
in
helping
us
to
administer
the
hardest
hit
fund
dollars.
So
we'd
like
to
do
that
again
as
well,
and
then
also
our
servicers,
the
servicers.
R
We
have
a
list
of
approximately
100
servicers
that
we
worked
with
in
the
past.
We
actually
do
coordinated
mailers
that
will
go
out
to
their
base.
That's
actually
the
number
one
way
that
we
reach
our
homeowners
and
then
also
we're
going
to
do
targeted
media
campaigns
and
blitzes
that
will
target
those
hardest
hit.
R
Neighborhoods
we're
able
to
identify
those
hardest
hit,
neighborhoods
right
down
to
the
zip
code
level,
so
we'll
be
targeting
into
those
areas,
and
then
there's
also
some
nuances
that
are
built
into
the
treasury
guidelines
that
require
us
to
actually
target
the
socially
disadvantaged
homeowners.
So
we
are
able
to
identify
data
that
will
show
us
right
down
to
the
zip
code
level,
where
we
should
be
targeting
those
dollars
as
well.
I
hope
I
answered
your
question.
D
I
I
believe
so
I
think
my
biggest
concern
is
I
I
know
two
large
groups
that
are
looking
for
assistance,
because
my
phone
rings
off
the
hook
every
single
day
yesterday
I
took
six
calls
alone
in
an
afternoon
people
looking
for
help,
so
my
biggest
concern
is
honestly:
I'm
not
that
familiar
with
the
hardest
hit
fund
and
I
wouldn't
have
known
to
send
a
constituent
to
the
hardest
hit
fund.
D
So
I'm
hoping
that
you'll
partner
with
two
one
one
so
that
when
folks
call
there,
because
we
refer
everyone
to
2-1-1
to
make
sure
that
if
they
need
this,
that
they
know
who
to
call
if
you've
already
established
a
list
of
people
that
you're
going
to
help
and
some
of
our
constituents
aren't
on
that
list
right
now.
How
will
they
get
that
assistance?
D
So
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
money
hits
as
broadly
and
widely
for
all
these
folks,
because
we
know
there's,
there's
two
particular
groups
out
there
right
now
that
aren't
going
to
go
back
to
work
for
a
very
long
time.
D
They
made
a
very
good
living
and
you
know
they're
they're,
homeowners
and
a
number
of
them
are
on
the
verge
of
losing
their
homes
right
now,
because
it's
been
a
year
since
they've
worked,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
they
don't
get
lost
because
they
didn't
come
and
ask
for
help
before
so
as
long
as
we
can
make
that
that's
the
goal
is
to
make
sure
that
this
information
is
available.
S
Thank
you,
madam
vice
chair.
Thank
you,
ms
campbell.
It's
so
nice
to
see
you
again
and
I
am
very
familiar
with
the
hardest
hit
program:
heart
assist
funds
program
and
also
with
nahack.
I
worked
for
financial
guidance
center
when
we
were
awarded
the
program
to
help
with
the
backlog
of
hardest
hit
funds.
So
I'm
happy
to
see
that
this
will
help
get
the
program
up
and
running
quickly
because
you
guys
already
have
the
infrastructure
built.
As
I
was
reading
through
the
information.
S
I
know
that
that
first
transit
money
that
was
coming
and
it
was
recommended
by
treasury
that
only
50
percent
be
used
for
setting
up
the
program,
an
administrative
cost.
So
can
you
tell
me
what
percentage
or
I
don't
know
if
or
if
this
is
a
better
question
for
bni,
but
how
much
is
actually
going
to
go
towards
assistance
in
this
pilot
phase
and
how
much
is
going
to
be
spent
on
the
administrative
side
in
this
first
range
of
money.
R
Thank
you
very
s,
campbell
again
for
the
record
and
to
the
vice
chair.
I
would
encourage
anyone
that
you
know
of
that
will
need
assistance.
Have
them
call
my
office
now
we
are
actually
compiling
a
list.
We
definitely
want
to
help
as
many
people
as
possible
and
we
don't
want
them
to
get
lost,
so
they
can
call
our
office
right
now
we're
listed
on
the
web
nahac.org
and
they
can
go
there.
They
can
contact
us,
they
can
fill
in
the
information
and
we'll
make
sure
they
get
put
on
the
list.
R
And
now
to
your
question,
we
are
looking
at
the
majority
of
those
funds
for
infrastructure,
but
we
will
be
rolling
out
the
program.
So
when
you
talk
about
the
percentage,
I
would
say
probably
about
20.
25
percent
will
start
to
roll
out
the
programs,
but
the
majority
of
funds.
We
will
need
definitely
to
set
up
the
infrastructure
because
we
wound
down
the
staff.
R
So
we
have
a
skeleton
crew
at
this
point
so,
but
we
are
looking
to
ramp
up
very
quickly
and
also
the
one
thing
the
pandemic
has
taught
us
is
that
we
can
be
very,
very
effective
with
remote
work,
so
our
call
center.
We
were
very
surprised
at
how
many
calls
we
were
able
to
take,
and
I
mean
there
were
some
times
in
a
month
we
take
like
3
000
calls,
so
we're
definitely
looking
to
use
some
of
those.
Those.
S
And
if
I
could
met
him
vice
chair
and
chair,
okay,
couple
more
follow-ups:
okay,
thank
you,
miss
campbell,
and
then
I
just
have
a
couple
more
questions,
because
I
want
to
make
sure
I
I
get
a
grasp
of
how
many
people
are
going
to
be
reaching
out
now
in
the
information
I
read:
treasury
awarded
money
to
the
states
based
on
how
many
people
were
unemployed
and
how
many
mortgages
were
in
a
30-day
plus
late
status
and
a
foreclosure
status.
Do
you
guys
have
those
numbers?
S
R
Actually
do
have
the
data,
but
I
don't
have
it
with
me,
so
I
can
definitely
provide
that
information
at
a
later
date,
but
I
can
tell
you
the
number
of
homeowners
we
are
expecting
overall
to
assist
with
the
total
round
of
funding
the
approximately
121
million
dollars,
we're
looking
at
assisting
right
now
about
6,
800
households,
and
actually
you
know
that
number
can
fluctuate,
because
there
will
be
a
number
of
homeowners
that
will
come
through
the
program
multiple
times.
R
We
do
count
households
only
one
time,
even
if
they
come
through
multiple
times.
If
I
look
at
the
hardest
hit
fund,
we
had
approximately
a
thousand
homeowners
who
actually
came
through
the
program
multiple
times,
and
you
know
so
it
fluctuates
and
we
are
looking
because
of
the
pandemic.
We
know
that
homeowners
will
be
more
behind
for
more
months
than
they
were
actually
during
the
time
of
the
hardest
hit
fund.
So
we
are
looking
at
funding
more
homeowners
at
a
potentially
a
higher
amount.
R
S
You
and
then
so,
6
800
households,
and
if
you
would
get
that
number
to
to
us
to
the
entire
committee,
about
how
many
mortgages
are
the
30-day
plus
and
in
foreclosure
status,
so
that
way
we
know
if
there's
still
more
homeowners,
who
need
assistance
that
we're
going
to
be
then
we're
going
to
be
able
to
assist
through
this
program
and
then,
if
I
could
one
more
follow-up.
Okay,
briefly,
okay,
thank
you!
I
apologize!
S
This
is
just
this
is
an
area
I'm
very
passionate
about
okay,
my
my
last
question
and
I'll
take
the
rest
of
them
offline.
So
you
guys
have
the
infrastructure
set
up
the
portal
set
up
on
the
nayhak.org
website.
If
this
is
approved
today
that
you'll
have
the
money.
How
soon
can
people
start
applying
for
this?
First
round
of
assistance?
That's
going
to
be
about
25
of
the
100
or
the
12
million.
Well,.
R
Actually,
we
do
not
have
again
varies
campbell
for
the
record.
We
do
not
have
a
portal
set
up,
we
have
our
website,
but
we
will
need
to
acquire
a
new
system
of
record
and,
of
course,
we'd
have
to
do
an
rfp.
So
we're
looking
at
approximately
I'd
say
even
with
me
being
very
aggressive,
possibly
90
days,
wow.
S
Okay,
okay
and
then
my
last,
my
just
the
last
statement
is
that
I
know
you
had
mentioned.
You
guys
are
going
to
cap
the
certain
programs,
but
our
advisor
brought
up
a
great
point
about
you
know,
making
sure
the
information
is
disseminated,
and
I
hope
that
we
would
prioritize
some
of
these
programs,
because
I
know
that
this
money
could
be
used
for
like
utility
assistance
and
you
know
hoa
property
taxes.
But
there
are
other
organizations
who
offer
that
same
kind
of
service
that
don't
offer
the
mortgage
assistance.
S
So
I
would
encourage
you
guys
to
prioritize
the
mortgage
assistance.
The
you
know,
the
mortgage
payments,
the
clearing
up
the
forbearances
clearing
up
the
delinquencies
and
then
partnering
with
the
other
organizations
who
can
help
supplement
the
other,
the
other
lights,
whether
it's
their
utilities
or
their
internet.
And
thank
you
for
your
indulgence.
G
Thanks,
thank
you,
mr
chair,
following
up
on
some
of
assemblywoman
how
to
use
questions,
so
mine
is
sort
of
related
to
the
overhead,
and
you
said,
there's
probably
about
25
percent,
that
of
the
first
12
million
that
will
be
able
to
be
funded
to
to
individuals
who
are
having
difficulty.
There's
a
plan.
That's
due
to
get
the
other
90
of
the
dollars.
It
looks
like
it's
doomed
by
june
30th
of
this
year
like
the
end
of
this
month.
G
I
guess,
and
so
is
that
I'm
not
sure
if
you're
preparing
that
plan
or
if
the
agency's
preparing
that
plan,
but
I
wanted
to
know
if
we're
ready
to
prepare
that
plan.
So
we
can
get
the
rest
of
it
and
then
the
question
is:
how
much
do
you
expect,
either
in
dollars
or
percentage-wise,
to
be
at
the
administrative
cost
to
administer
the
full
120.9
if
we're
able
to
receive
those
funds.
R
We
actually
do
have
a
draft
budget
and
we're
looking
at
approximately
82
percent
of
that
draft
budget
to
be
to
go
out
to
homeowners,
to
be
utilized
on
the
programs,
we're
looking
at
approximately
15
percent
for
the
administrative
costs
over
the
lifetime
of
the
program
and
then
we're
also
looking
at
approximately
three
percent
for
our
counselors
to
utilize
to
help
us
get
the
word
out,
and
you
know
the
housing
counseling
agencies.
They
don't
also
just
help
us
get
the
word
out,
but
they
actually
become
an
extension
of
us
and
assist
with
taking
applications.
G
Thank
you
and
off
the
top
of
my
head.
18
sounds
high,
so
I
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
plan
that
gets
submitted
to
the
the
agency
for
their
approval
or
if
this
comes
back
through
ifc
or
how,
because
I
think
we
need
to
get
the
dollars
out
as
soon
as
possible,
but
as
many
dollars
as
possible.
So
we
have
to,
you
know,
focus
on
how
to
keep
our
administrative
costs
down,
and
I
think
it
is
good
to
have
some
partnerships
to
get
the
word
out.
R
The
three
percent
under
the
treasury
guidelines
they're
actually
allowing
up
to
three
percent
for
the
counseling
agencies
over
the
entire
amount
of
the
funds
and
they're,
allowing
five
percent
we're
actually
budgeting
for
three
percent:
we're
budgeting
for
15
administrative
expenses,
but
as
the
division
can
attest
to
I'm
budgeting
for
15
percent.
But
I'm
targeting
for
12
and
a
half
13
percent
administrative
costs.
G
Thank
you
and
ultimately
does
the
division
approve
the
plan
and
the
plan
goes
forward
because
I
think
you're
on
a
really
tight
timeline
to
be
able
to
put
together
this
plan
and
provided
the
federal
government.
So
we
at
least
so
we
can
even
get
the
dollar.
So
maybe
you
can
speak
to
that.
Maybe
the
division
can
speak
to
that.
O
So
actually,
the
the
ultimate
plan
is
approved
by
treasury
and
so
to
go
back
to
answer
some
of
your
questions,
they
will
determine
when
the
dollars
come
through
and
when
they
hit
now.
This
meeting
that
and
this
approval
that
we
have
today
is
strictly
for
this
10,
so
the
additional
90
you
that
will
have
to
come
before,
ifc
or
whatever,
that
dollar
amount
the
treasury
allows
based
on
the
based
on
their
approval.
G
O
O
We
do
need
to
submit
a
plan
or
an
extension
for
the
submission
of
that
plan,
as
it
stands
right
now
by
june
30th,
as
indicated
previously,
treasury
has
indicated
to
us
that
that
plan
or
that
june
30th
date
is
probably
going
to
shift
because
they
have
not
established
all
the
portals
and
things
that
we
need
to
do
to
even
submit
those
plans.
As
of
today's
date,
okay,.
Q
Thank
you,
chair
brooks.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
just
a
very
detailed
clarification,
so
I
understand
from
the
notes
that
you
have
to
be
at
150
percent
of
area,
median
income
or
less
to
qualify,
and
I'm
wondering
if
this
is
like
the
rental
program,
where
that
is
truly
your
current
status
within
this
year.
So
if
you've
lost
employment
or
anything
along
those
lines
in
your
area,
median
income
or
your
median
income
has
been
reduced.
Then
you
can
qualify
or
is
it
based
on
the
prior
year's
tax
return.
R
O
Well,
I
was,
I
was
going
to
say
it's
our
understanding
that
you
just
have
to
show
that
you
had
that
impact
at
whatever
time
between
now
even
moving
forward
and
january
21st
of
2020.
Q
Okay
and
do
we
know
if
you
are
successful
in
getting
your
job
back,
so
I'm
like
here's,
my
concern,
so
you
you
know
pandemic
started
january.
2020
was
primarily
in
2020.
Folks
are
way
behind
on
there
they've
lost
their
employment
folks
are
way
behind
on
their
mortgage,
and
then
they
need
to
apply
for
this
program.
Q
They're
able
to
demonstrate
that
because
their
income
has
been
impacted
because
they've
lost
their
job
now
they
get
their
job
back
now,
they're
above
the
150
percent
area
of
in
income,
but
they're
still
painfully
delinquent
on
their
mark
and
aren't
going
to
be
able
to
dig
out
on
their
own,
and
so
when
that
150
income
area
median
income
is
measured,
will
be
important
in
terms
of
how
people
buy,
and
I
suspect
we
probably
don't
get
to
interpret
that
and
it'll
be
a
treasury
guidance
question,
and
I
know
we
tripped
up
over
that
on
some
of
the
rental
assistance
programs,
at
least
in
the
early
days,
so
once
you're
able
to
get
farther
along
in
the
process.
O
Stevia
growth
for
the
record
yeah.
We
will
be
able
to
do
that
and
you
know
when,
when
it
does
come
back
for
the
approval
of
the
90
before
the
ifc,
I
think
we'll
have
a
lot
of
these
questions
answered
and
have
a
specific
plan
and
address
a
lot
of
these
concerns
that
you're
bringing
up.
A
H
Thank
you,
chair,
brooks
allowing
me
to
ask
the
question
so,
as
always,
gonna
ask
a
little
bit
about
what
this
application
process
will
look
like
a
little
bit
of
what
the
families
who
walk
through
the
door
when
they
start
this
process,
what
they
might
be
asked,
and
so
I
see
here
the
word
a
test,
so
it
looks
like
there's
going
to
be
an
attestation
process.
H
I
guess
I'll
start
with
my
first
question
of
it
looks
like
from
the
notes
I
have
that
that
might
be
a
narrative
process
submitted
by
the
family
versus
like
a
check
mark
process
like
a
test.
If
you
have
been
you
know,
if
you've
had
job
loss,
reduction
of
income
increase
cost
or
something
like
that.
So
could
you
am
I
right
in
assuming
that
it
sounds
like
it's
going
to
be
a
narrative
attestation.
R
Fairies
campbell
for
the
record,
the
application
process
that
we
utilized
with
the
hardest
hit
fund.
We
were
very
successful
in
having
the
homeowners
call
in
they
speak
to
a
live
person
and
our
agent
actually
completes
the
application.
It
will
be
a
series
of
questions
after
they
answer
those
questions.
An
application
package
goes
out
to
them
at
that
time.
They'll
read
over
their
application
packet
and
then
the
attestation
we
do
have
that.
But
there
are
also
other
questions
that
they're
asked
as
well,
and
then
there
is
an
underwriting
process.
R
So
if
there's
additional
information
that
we
need,
because
if
you
know
anything
about
treasury,
there's
an
awful
lot
of
compliance
and
I'm
happy
to
say
we
we've
done
very
well
on
our
compliance
reviews.
So
we're
going
to
continue
to
do
what
we've
been
doing.
But
there
is
one
thing
that
treasury
made
sure
that
they
wanted
all
of
the
states
to
know
they
do
not
want
this
product.
This
process
to
be
so
arduous
that
it
would
take
so
much
time
to
get
this
money
to
these
homeowners
accounts.
H
I
appreciate
that,
because
how
you
go
through
the
process
and
what
you
ask
for
you
know,
will
determine
how
easily
or
not
families
can
navigate
things
and,
of
course
we
have
families
of
all
different
kinds
of
functioning
levels
and
levels
of
sophistication.
Although
because
these
are
mortgages,
we
might
expect
that
they
would
be.
You
know,
have
a
better
idea
of
some
of
the
financial
questions.
They're
going
to
be
asked,
so
they'll
call
in
they'll
get
a
live
person
on
the
line.
That
person
will.
I
guess,
kind
of
that
first
step.
H
I
guess
it
sounds
like
serves
as
a
screening
process.
So
they'll
start
by
asking
about
that
income
question
to
see
if
they
meet
the
150
of
area
media
income,
and
I
guess
your
callers
will
be
trained.
Your
screeners
will
be
trained
to
understand
any
nuances
that
senator
randy
just
described
like
presently.
I
am
above
150,
but
for
the
past
nine
months
I
have
not
been
so.
R
Varies
campbell
again
for
the
record.
We
actually
tell
them
what
they
need
to
have
ready
for
us
and
there's
a
pre-screening.
They
can
do
as
well,
but
our
agents
are
trained
to
take
that
application
right
there
on
the
spot.
It
usually
takes
on
average
15
to
20
minutes
and
that
the
20
minutes
is
if
a
homeowner
says.
Oh,
I
don't
have
my
pay
stub
right
here
or
my
mortgage
statement
hold
on.
Let
me
go
get
it
and
then,
if
they
don't
have
a
particular
piece
of
documentation,
we
just
skip
that
area.
H
Okay-
and
I
appreciate
that
and
much
like
senator,
I'm
sorry
much
like
assemblywoman
carlton,
you
know
I
ask
these
questions
as
a
you
know,
coming
from
my
experience
and
background
just
being
a
licensed
social
worker,
so
being
the
one
who's
guiding
families
towards
resources
and
preparing
them
for
like
how
resilient
they
have
to
be
to
make
it
through
an
application
process
and
the
type
of
questions
they're
going
to
be
asked.
H
So
that's
why
I
always
ask
questions
about
what
does
that
qualification
process
look
like
and
what's
going
to
be
asked
and
for
our
folks
who
need
help?
How
do
we
prepare
them
to
be
ready
to
complete
an
application,
because,
just
like
we
saw
with
the
you
know
the
rental
assistance
program,
we
had
a
high
level
of
attrition
when
we
started
it
out
and
that
process
really
had
to
be
rethought
in
terms
of
just
making
sure
that
qualified
people
indeed
were
getting
through
and
not
just
self-selecting
out
because
of
a
complicated
process.
A
Process,
thank
you.
Assembling
woman.
We
have
some
women
haven.
Has
a
excuse.
Me.
Levitt
has
a
question
as
well.
Hey
finn's,
not
here
today,
levitt,
has
a
question
as
well
on
this
issue.
Thank
you.
N
Mr
chair,
I
wish
you
were
the
first
one
that
got
us
mixed
up.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
So
I'm
just
trying
to
wrap
my
arms
around
the
numbers.
When
we're
talking
about
what
households
are
going
to
receive
the
administrative
costs,
the
counseling
costs,
I
mean
we're
looking
at
17
million
dollars
of
administrative
costs
over
the
life
of
the
program.
N
You
know
over
this
expenditure
of
you
know,
and
then
you
know
three
to
four
million
dollars
in
counseling,
so
that
leaves
roughly
100
million
dollars
per
house
or
for
the
for
the
actual
actual
dispersion
of
of
funds
to
households
which
would
leave
roughly
14
700
dollars
in
change
per
household
if
you
average
it
out
over
6
800
households
and
so
we're
looking
at
2
500
to
administer
14
000,
and
that
just
seems
a
little
inefficient
to
me
and
maybe
I'm
getting
the
numbers
wrong.
N
Maybe
maybe
there's
a
there's
some
formula
that
I'm
not
looking
at,
but
I'm
just
looking
at
what
what
was
said,
what
you
know
at
15
of
the
of
the
of
the
funding
dedicated
towards
administrative
costs,
that's
what
your
numbers
are
looking
at
and
if
you
drop
it
to
12
percent,
it's
you
know,
roughly
still,
15
million
dollars
for
administrative
costs,
so
you're
looking
at
you
know
2100
for
every.
You
know:
14
000,
that's
distributed
per
household.
R
Sure
varies
campbell
again
for
the
record,
I'm
not
going
to
say
your
math
is
wrong,
but
I
will
say
the
formula
is
is
not
quite
right
if
you're
looking
at
distributing
it
the
way
you're
counting
it
every
household
is
not
going
to
get
54
000
or
what's
the
other
one,
the
35
000..
So
there's
actually
a
formula
that
we
do
utilize
based
off
of
the
experience
of
the
hardest
hit
fund,
and
we
can
definitely
provide
that
there's
a
huge
workbook.
R
I
mean
my
staff
they're
still
texting
me
right
now,
but
there's
a
huge
workbook
that
goes
into
all
of
this,
and
we
can
definitely
share
it
with
you.
You
know
there
are
certain
treasury
guidelines
that
we
we
have
to
follow
and,
as
I
told
you,
the
treasury
compliance
is
very,
very
arduous,
so
the
numbers
that
that
you
spouted
using
just
a
few
numbers
that
I
rattled
off
there's
quite
more
involved
in
it
and
then
also
too,
with
the
treasury
guidelines,
the
requirement
for
the
to
utilize,
the
housing
counseling
agencies.
R
You
know
there's
certain
guidelines
that
we
have
to
follow
and
when
it
comes
to
administering
the
treasury
dollars
and
making
sure
that
we
are
operating
efficiently
and
having
our
administrative
cap
at
a
certain
percentage,
treasury
is
extremely
strict
about
that.
So
you
know
we
again
the
number
of
households
you
may
get
a
household
that
all
they
may
need
may
be
four
thousand
dollars,
but
then
you
might
get
that
household
that
they
need
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
R
We
funded
a
gentleman
who
was
unemployed
up
in
the
north
and
he
needed
that
hundred
thousand
dollars.
He
was
on
a
fixed
income
and
that
was
under
our
principal
reduction
program.
So
you
know
there's
a
certain
percentage
of
homeowners
that
are
going
to
be
on
the
low
funding
end
and
then
there's
that
percentage
that's
going
to
be
in
the
middle
and
then
there's
the
high
end.
So
we
can
certainly
provide
the
committee
the
information
that
we
utilize
to
come
to
those
numbers
and
that
I
think
that
will
give
you
a
better
perspective.
N
Follow
up,
please
could
you
also-
and
I
know
we've
asked
for
this
before,
but
you
know,
regardless
of
how
much
household,
how
much
funding
each
household
earns
it's
still
on
average
the
the
the
entity
that's
performing.
These
distributions
is
spending
twenty
five
hundred
dollars
per
household,
whether
they
get
four
thousand
or
thirty,
five
thousand
you
know
and-
and
that
just
seems
inefficient,
no
matter
what
the
dispersion
is,
and
so,
if,
if
we
could
see
a
plan
like
how
is
this
money?
How
is
these
administrative
costs?
N
Because
that's
a
that's
a
big
amount
of
money,
for
you
know
for
a
program
and
I'm
not
sure
how
long
the
duration
of
the
the
the
the
funding
of
120
000
is
is
supposed
to
be
dispersed
by,
but
you
know
17
million
dollars
in
administrative
costs.
N
To
you
know,
that's
that's
a
big
hit
to
what
could
be
allocated
to
homeowners
in
need,
and
so
that's
why
I
I
would
love
to
see
what
the
how
that
administrative
allocation
is
is
provided
as
well
as
the
counseling,
because
you
know,
4.4
million
dollars
in
counseling
seems
very
high
for
the
for
the
duration
of
this
particular
amount
of
funding.
So
if
we
could
be
provided
with
that,
just
for
my
own
edification
and
comfort.
R
Again,
maurice
campbell
for
the
record
we're
looking
at
a
duration
of
approximately
five
years.
It
will
be
an
aggressive
program
because
this
program
is
in
response
to
a
pandemic.
So
in
order
to
ramp
up-
and
you
got
to
have
a
system
that
can
handle
it,
those
will
be
some
of
those
front
end
costs.
But
we
will
definitely
be
more
than
happy
to
provide
you.
A
detailed
outline
of
the
draft
budget.
C
Thank
you
chair.
I
had
a
quick
question:
we've
seen
with
many
of
the
other
programs,
some
fraud
that
has
been
in
place,
so
I'm
not
sure
if
you're
quite
to
that
part
in
your
plan.
But
what
safeguards
have
you
discussed
or
put
in
place
to
help
prevent
some
of
that
fraud
from
happening.
R
Maurice
campbell
for
the
record
united
states
department
of
treasury
again,
there's
quite
a
bit
of
compliance,
there's
also
the
special
inspector
general
for
the
tarp
assistance
funds,
tarp
assistance,
relief
funds,
sig
tarp,
is
a
particular
body
that
has
both
an
audit
faction
and
an
investigatory
faction.
We
are
audited
and
have
multiple
investigations
going
on
with
sig
tarp
on
a
regular
basis.
Right
now,
I
can
tell
you:
there
are
two
ongoing
and
sig
tarp
they're,
actually
looking
at
potential
files
for
fraud,
they're
not
investigating
our
agency
they're
investigating
homeowners
because
of
the
high
number
of
fraud.
R
R
There
are
multiple
files
that
were
identified
as
possible
fraud
that
did
not
get
funded,
and
we
were
actually
spoken
of
in
a
positive
manner
by
sigtar
recently
in
their
latest
report.
Because
of
some
of
the
measures
that
we
have
in
place
and
so
we're
looking,
you
know,
there's
always
more
that
we
can
do.
We
meet
regularly
on
a
weekly
basis
with
other
states
that
are
rolling
out
this
hard
asset
fund
program
and
we're
all
putting
together
our
heads
to
come
up
with
best
practices.
A
Thank
you
assembly,
magorlo,
for
the
question.
Thank
you,
ms
campbell.
I
do
not
think
we
have
any
other
questions
from
this
committee
on
this
item.
It
was
an
exhaustive
presentation
and
we
know
everything
we
need
to
know
about
it
now,
so
I
would
look
for
a
motion
to
approve.
A
A
Excuse
me
yeah:
do
we
have
any
discussion
on
the
motion?
You
got
me
all
confused
everybody's
chair,
seeing
none
all
in
favor,
aye
aye
everybody
on
zoom
is
an
eye
as
well
and
all
opposed,
nay,
and
the
motion
carries
unanimously
with
the
members
present.
Thank
you,
ms
campbell,
and
thank
you
to
the
housing
team
for
presenting
that
and
that
moves
us
to
our
next
item.
25
and.
A
O
Good
morning
again,
chair
brooks
vice
chair
carlton
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
steve
across
administrator
of
the
housing
division
and
with
me
today
is
michael
holliday.
O
O
But
this
is
the
alphabet
soup
that
we
live
in,
provided
to
the
entire
state
of
nevada
through
the
american
rescue
plan
is
185.4
million
dollars.
86
million
of
that
will
be
provided
to
local
jurisdictions,
and
98.8
million
will
be
provided
to
the
state.
O
The
arp
required
treasury
to
disperse
40
of
each
grantees
grant
within
60
days
of
the
enactment
of
the
arp,
and
that
40
represents
the
39.5
million
to
be
approved
here.
The
remaining
funds
are
to
be
released
in
tranches,
sorry
as
determined
by
the
secretary
of
treasury.
O
Our
plan
is
to
utilize
these
funds,
similar
to
what
you
are
currently
seeing
with
the
era.
1
funds,
which
were
provided
by
the
consolidated
appropriations
act,
and
if
you
recall
these
previously
approved
funds,
were
designed
to
be
used
for
rent
rental
arrears,
utilities,
home
energy
costs
and
rearranges
for
those
at
80
percent
or
less
of
area
median
income
who
had
experienced
unemployment,
covered
hardship
or
were
at
risk
of
experiencing
homelessness.
O
There
are
certain
benchmarks
which
need
to
be
met
with
the
era
1
funds
and
to
prevent
any
recapture
of
those
funds
based
on
a
failure
to
meet
those
benchmarks.
The
primary
source
of
rental
assistance
funding
will
continue
to
be
era
1.
with
initial
era,
2
funds
being
provided
to
renters,
if
necessary,
based
on
some
subtle
eligibility
differences
between
the
two
programs,
which
allow
for
greater
flexibility.
O
O
If
an
applicant
could
not
tie
their
hardship
back
to
covid,
but
it
occurred
during
the
past
16
months,
they
wouldn't
be
eligible
for
era,
one
funding,
but
they
would
be
for
era
too,
and
that's
who
we're
looking
to
capture
here.
We
have
continued
to
work
with
our
sub-grantees
clark,
county
social
services,
the
reno
housing
authority
and
nevada
rural
housing
authority.
O
In
dispensing
these
funds,
and
in
conjunction
we
have
regular
meetings
with
the
governor's
office,
the
treasurer
those
entities
which
I
just
mentioned,
the
state
supreme
court,
the
eviction
mediation
program
home
means
nevada,
and
we
will
continue
that
and
with
that
high
level
overview,
we'll
stand
ready
to
answer
any
questions.
S
And
just
one
chair
and
director
a
crop,
so
I
just
had
one
quick
question:
it's
just
for
my
clarification.
During
our
legislative
session,
we
had
a
hearing
on
ab486
which
dealt
with
setting
up
the
assistance
for
the
landlords
and
during
that
hearing
I
remember
them
saying
that
we
had
in
total
in
the
state
360
million
dollars
for
rental
assistance
did
that
is
that
part
of
this
185.5
million,
or
are
we
getting
185.5
million
on
top
of
the
360
million.
O
Steve
across
for
the
record
great
question:
basically,
you
did
hear
that
in
testimony
that
is
inclusive
of
these
funds
and
actually
what
has
been
provided
because
clark
county
is
considered
a
high
needs
area.
They
are
clark
county.
K
Miller,
thank
you,
chair,
quick
question
just
regarding
the
era
2
and
how
it's
distributed.
As
far
as
we
know
that
the
previous
went
directly
to
landlords-
or
you
know
utilities,
but
this
goes
it
can
be
applied
or
given
directly
to
the
tenant.
So
how
do
we
ensure
that
once
it's
given
to
them,
it's
going
to
be
used
as
intended.
O
Steve
across
for
the
record
you're
absolutely
correct,
it
is
actually
a
requirement
for
the
acceptance
of
these
funds
that
we
allow
direct
to
tenant
assistance
to
go
back
to
a
question
that
was
asked
in
the
previous
item.
How
do
we
work
to
prevent
fraud
that
that
will
occur,
so
we
can
rely
on
written
attestments,
but
we
do
a
waterfall
through
that
process.
O
Looking
for
or
sub-grantees
will
looking
for
documentation
regarding
eligibility
leases
things
of
that
nature,
and
we
will
continue
to
work
with
the
sub-grantees
to
make
sure
that
that
is
going
to
occur.
Those
discussions
are
happening
right
now,
but
I
don't
have
a
specific.
O
You
know
way
to
say
that.
Oh
this
is
what
we're
going
to
do.
My
opinion
is
that
we're
basically
going
to
if
we're
going
to
allow
that
we
are
going
to
do
some
verification
on
the
landlord
and
to
make
sure
that
what
the
tenant
is
identifying
as
the
landlord
is
in
fact,
the
owner
of
that.
K
Property,
thank
you,
a
quick
follow-up
here,
so
in
understanding
that
maybe
the
the
decision
to
allow
these
to
be
direct
payments
to
the
tenants
to
allow
them
to
handle
their
business
with
their
landlords.
K
So
do
we
expect
that
landlords
are
going
to
I
mean,
because
this
then
requires
would
just
based
off
what
you
mentioned
would
require
the
landlord
to
then
be
abreast
of
how
the
tenant
has
acquired
the
money
to
pay,
and
you
know,
may
or
may
not
choose
to
respond
to
an
inquiry
confirming
that
they
used
it
as
intended.
K
So
I
mean
I
understand
we
don't
have
it
quite
figured
out
yet,
but
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we
really
figure
out
how
we
get
the
money,
make
sure
that
the
money
is
used
as
intended
and
so
that
we
don't
have
any
fraud
or
waste
with
it.
Thank
you.
O
Steve
across
for
the
record,
I
don't
envision
that
it
will
require
landlord
interaction
to
be
funded.
And
again,
as
you
mentioned,
this
is
a
little
bit
of
a
work
in
progress,
but
we
should
be
able
to
obtain
that
information,
and
then
there
will
be
attestments
by
the
tenant
that,
in
fact
they
will
be
using
this
funding
for
specifically
rent.
A
T
Thank
you
chair
and
thank
you,
mr
acroff.
I
was
wondering
if
you
could
provide
us.
C
With
a
status
update
on
the
era,
one
program
and
how
many
households
have
been
provided
right
and
utility
assistance
to
date,.
O
Thank
you
steve
across
for
the
record.
What
all
I
don't
know
that
I
have
a
specific
answer
to
your
question,
but
I
can
provide
an
overview
of
all
the
rental
assistance.
O
So
that
was
roughly
in
clark
county.
They
provided
97.8
million
and
that's
in
in
both
rental
assistance
and
some
administration
and
with
those
crf
funds,
because
they
were
a
little
bit
more
flexible.
They
were
able
to
provide
bulk
payments
to
landlords.
So
I
don't
have
specific
numbers
on
those.
The
number
of
households
funded
there
in
there
in
clark,
county's
era,
2
program
from
what
I
can
gather
with
what
they
have
reported
and
again
they
report
back
to
the
local
jurisdictions
and
they
provide
some
funding
through
the
state.
O
Although
I
know
that
they
have
not
used
state
funding
yet
to
provide
for
their
residents,
they
have
another
30
million,
plus
on
top
of
that,
so
they've
done
131
million
the
reno
housing
authority.
Again
through
cares
funding
and
era
funding
has
done
9.6
million
and
the
rurals
again
through
cares.
Funding
and
through
era
funding
have
done
4.9
million,
so
total
assistance
going
out
currently
well,
as
of
may
31st
that
was
reported
to
me,
has
been
over
145
million
and
unfortunately
I
can
give
you
the
the
bulk
number.
C
Thank
you
for
that
cut
that
overview
I'm.
I
would
be
curious
to
see
how
many
households
we've
been
able
to
support
with
these
dollars
as.
T
They've
come
in
so
if
there's
any
way
that
we
could
get
access
to
that.
C
O
Stevie
growth
for
the
record,
I
will
reach
back
out
and
try
to
obtain
that
information
best.
I
can
to
you.
A
Thank
you,
assemblywoman
peters,
and
thank
you,
mr
acroff.
Do
we
have
any
other
questions
on
this
item.
D
And-
and
thank
you
very
much
and
not
as
much
a
question
but
a
comment.
I
you
know
this
rental
assistance
we're
coming
at
it
very
analytically.
This
has
changed
people's
lives,
I've
had
people
call
I've,
had
people
bring
me
cookies
and
cakes
and
send
cards
and
their
kids
draw
pictures
about
how
grateful
they
are
that
they
are
still
living
where
they
were
before,
and
their
kids
can
go
back
to
the
same
school.
D
So
the
the
we
come
at
this
from
an
ifc
perspective
and
a
money
perspective,
but
this
has
made,
I
think,
one
of
the
biggest
differences
in
family
stability
in
in
this
state
over
the
last
year
and
I'll
just
comment
that
in
the
world
that
I
live
in,
we
had
to
initiate
a
safeguard
every
check
that
goes
out.
We
now
have
to
confirm
with
the
bank
to
make
sure
that
that
check
actually
gets
to
the
landlord.
D
We
did
have
a
couple,
get
cashed
inappropriately
and
the
dollars
get
used,
not
in
the
way
they
were
intended
and
we
had
consequences
for
that
person
and
those
families.
But
we
had
there
are
ways
to
institute
a
check
on
the
back
end
to
make
sure
that
each
each
time
you
send
the
money
out
that
you
can
verify
it
through
the
bank
that
that
can
be
done.
D
So
there
are
ways
to
build
in
accountability,
and
I
understand
wanting
to
get
the
money
directly
to
the
clients,
but
there
are
times
where
that
just
can
be
very
can
be
a
little
bit
scary
because
the
client
is
uncomfortable
with
it
too
and
having
to
deal
with
that.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
all
the
work
that
you've
done
in
clark
county
has
done
on
on
taking
care
of
this,
and
I
look
forward
to
getting
all
those
numbers
in
the
future
from
you
on
this
that
miss
peters
asked,
for.
D
A
B
C
Included
the
additional
20.8
million
for
designation
as
a
high
need
area
to
clark,
but
combined
total
with
with
clark
and
city
of
henderson
las
vegas,
north
las
vegas.
I
calculate
out
that
that's
about
40
little
over
40
to
41
of
the
allocation,
but
with
city
of
reno
receiving
3.3
percent
and
washington
county
receiving
20..
That's
only
6.1,
so
I
just
wonder
if
you
can
walk
me
through
how
we
decided
on
those
proportions.
Thanks.
O
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Assemblywoman
told.
Actually
those
are
determined
via
the
treasury,
so
we
did
not
have
any
input
into
those
funding
numbers
at
all,
so
those
are
product
provided
direct
to
the
local
jurisdictions
and
the
local
jurisdictions
will
in
turn
provide
rental
assistance
for
their
residents
in
their
respective
cities.
O
That
has
been
done
and
established
with
the
current
rental
assistance
era,
one
and
the
crf
funding
through
the
three
well,
the
two
entities
that
that
we're
discussing
the
treasury
determined
those
numbers
and
the
treasury
determined
that
the
minimum
payment
to
the
state
was
going
to
be
98
million
dollars.
O
At
this
point,
we
have
not
determined
exactly
how
we
are
going
to
divide
up
that
98
million
dollars,
because
we're
still
looking
at
making
sure
we
hit
the
benchmarks
in
era
one
funding.
First,
although
we
do
anticipate
providing
some
funding
for
those
who
may
not
be
eligible
under
era,
one
provide
them
some
era,
two
dollars
primarily
probably
to
nevada
rural
going
out
because
they're
requiring
or
they
only
receive
the
state
funding
where
the
other
jurisdictions
can
use.
Some
of
that
local
funding
that
you
discussed
hope
that
answers
your
question.
C
A
Oh
okay
and
assemblywoman
benitez
thompson
did
you
have
a
question
as
well.
H
It's
just
a
really
quick
one
chair
chairman
brooks
and
just
along
the
lines
of
the
questions.
I
typically
ask,
and
so
we
know
that
there's
a
change
in
who
the
funding
can
be
paid
for
who
can
be,
who
the
the
benefit
can
be
dispersed
to
and
a
little
bit
of
a
change
in
the
amount
of
the
percentage.
That's
going
to
be
used
for
administrative
versus
direct
benefits,
but
in
terms
of
the
application
process,
is
there
any
change?
I
know
we
had.
H
O
Steve
across
for
the
record
great
question-
and
I
I
I
believe
the
process
will
remain
the
same.
I
can
see
some
of
the
questions
being
asked
a
little
differently,
but
that's
probably
going
to
be
further
in
the
application
process
is
just
kind
of
I
I
think
through
this,
because
treasury
design
the
program
so
that
it
it
mirrors
er
a1.
O
But
there
are,
as
we
have
talked
about
some
subtle
differences,
so
I
think
that's
sort
of
getting
into
as
a
as
the
applicant
goes
through
the
process
to
determine
whether
they
will
be
eligible,
because
we
want
to
get
them
an
era
one
first
and
if,
for
some
reason
that
application,
while
it
might
be
valid
for
era
2,
that's
when
it
would
get
switched
over
or
additional
questions
would
be
asked
to
make
sure
they
qualify
for
the
era
ii.
Funding.
A
Thank
you,
mr
across,
and
thank
you
for
the
question.
Assemblywoman.
Do
we
have
any
other
questions
or
comments
from
the
committee
on
this
work
program?
It
looks
as
if
we
do
not.
So
I
would
take
a
motion
to
approve
item
25
the
work
program
c54754.
A
Broadcast,
I
still
don't
see
our
our
members
on
zoom
there
they
go
and
they
all
have
their
hands
up.
So
I'll
oppose,
nay,
and
so
the
motion
carries
unanimously
passes
unanimously
with
the
members
present
and
we
can
move
on
to
our
next
agenda
items
which
are
going
to
be
39
and
60
which
we're
going
to
take
together
and
they're
both
well
before
we
get
started
on
that,
though,
just
want
to
give
a
little
bit
of
update
on
some
housekeeping
items.
A
We
will
be
taking
a
break
somewhere
between
12,
30
and
1
o'clock
for
a
quick
lunch
and
so
just
to
make
sure
that
the
agency,
folks,
who
are
working
with
us
today
to
get
through
ifc
kind
of,
are
aware
of
our
time
frame,
we're
taking
the
items
that
were
pulled
in
order
and
then
we'll
have
that
break,
and
then
we'll
come
back
and
also
members
and
and
also
agency,
fo
that
that
are
assisting
us
today.
A
If
we
can
be
as
concise
as
possible
with
our
questions
and
with
our
answers,
it
is
quarter
to
12.
We
are
maybe
a
third
of
the
way
through
this
agenda,
so
we
need
to
kind
of
speed
it
up
a
little
bit,
and
so
with
that
we'll
jump
into
items
39
and
60,
and
we
have-
I
think
we
have
miss
peak
here
and
and
to
start
us
off
on
item
39
and
then
we'll
move
into
60
or
take
them
together.
T
Good
morning,
chair
morning,
still
morning
a
little
bit
and
members
of
the
interim
finance
committee,
my
name
is
julia
peak
and
I
serve
as
one
of
the
deputy
administrators
with
the
division
of
public
and
behavioral
health.
I'm
joined
by
lily
helzer,
with
our
bureau
of
child
family
and
community
wellness
who's
going
to
oversee
this
award
and
joined
remotely
with
our
partners,
tina,
dortch
and
sheila
lambert
with
the
director's
office
and
I'll
just
know.
T
These
ladies
worked
very
very
hard
on
this
award,
so
they
are
ready
to
answer
some
questions
if
you
have
any
so
today,
we're
requesting
authority
for
the
new
grant
from
the
centers
for
disease
control
and
prevention's
national
initiative
to
address
covet
19
health
disparities
among
populations
at
high
risk
and
underserved,
including
racial
and
ethnic
minority
populations
and
rural
communities.
T
As
I
noted,
this
grant
is
funded
through
the
cdc
through
the
coronavirus
response
and
relief.
Supplemental
appropriations
act
of
2021..
This
groundbreaking
funding
represents
cdc's
largest
investment
to
date,
focusing
specifically
on
reducing
health
disparities
related
to
covet
19
and
will
provide
much
needed
support
to
directly
address
these
issues
in
our
communities.
T
As
you
can
appreciate,
this
is
a
very
large
grant
with
multiple
parts.
So,
in
order
to
implement
this
program
successfully,
there
are
many
many
partners
on
this
award
I'll
just
speak
really
briefly
about
some
of
those
partners.
We're
going
to
be
working
with
the
office
of
rural
health
from
the
school
of
medicine
to
develop
and
conduct
monthly,
echo
program,
trainings
or
online
trainings
for
rural
health
professionals,
local
health
professionals
and
we're
going
to
cover
a
variety
of
covid19
related
topics.
T
We're
also
going
to
be
working
with
the
office
of
rural
health
and
the
state,
public
health
laboratory
and
university
department
of
pathology
and
laboratory
medicine
to
partner
with
some
of
our
rural
partners
and
and
those
entities
supporting
our
underserved.
That
includes
the
rural
hospital
partners,
our
federally
qualified
health,
centers
or
fqhcs
rural
health
clinics,
rural
hospitals,
we're
also
working
with
our
sister
agency
at
the
division
of
child
and
family
services.
T
It's
a
really
great
program
that
really
brings
people
into
the
public
health
workforce
and
hires
people
from
the
community
to
serve
the
community.
It's
a
great
program
we're
going
to
be
working
with
our
nevada
cancer
coalition,
miss
carrie
harrington,
presented
during
public
comment,
but
I'll
just
echo
what
she
said.
She'll
do
but
they're
going
to
be
working
for
cancer
prevention,
which
is
a
known
comorbidity
issue
with
covid19,
also
working
with
the
tobacco
prevention
coalition,
the
office
of
minority
health
and
equity
in
our
director's
office.
T
Our
grant
management
unit
in
the
director's
office
and
I'll
just
know
that
they're
going
to
be
working
with
ex
specifically
expanding
existing
mitigation
resources
and
they're,
going
to
be
working
with
family
resource
centers
throughout
the
state
and
and
they
provide
great
social
service
supports
as
well.
T
We're
going
to
provide
multicultural
training
for
the
behavioral
health
work,
support,
workforce
and
expand
workforce
development
again
in
behavioral
health
mobilize
partners
to
advance
health
equity,
specifically
providing
training
and
technical
assistance.
A
couple
of
other
projects
really
happy
to
hear
nevada.
T
2-1-1
mentioned
earlier
is
a
resource
to
help
direct
people
for
social
services
and
health
outcomes,
that
resource
needs,
promotion
people
need
to
know
it's
available,
and
so
that's
one
of
the
deliverables
of
this
effort,
also
working
with
the
nevada
broadcasters
association
to
specifically
target
our
populations
at
higher
risk
and
partnering
with
our
mobile
medical
units.
Again,
thank
you
for
hearing
this
work
program
today.
Thank
you
for
letting
me
speak
to
it
a
little
bit
and
we
are
happy
to
answer
questions
that
you
may
have.
A
Thank
you
misspeak.
I
appreciate
that.
Do
I
think
we
do
have
some
questions
from
the
committee
assemblyman
assemblywoman
gorlo
did
you?
Did
you
have
a
question
on
this
particular
issue
or?
Okay,
then
I
think
I
have
up
next
is
senator
ratty.
Q
Chair
first
question
is
so
that
was
a
wonderful
list
of
community
partners
representing
all
parts
of
our
community.
That
also
sounds
a
little
bit
like
herding
cats.
So
how
are
you
going
to
approach
oversight
and
coordination
of
all
those.
T
Partners
senator
eddie,
thank
you
for
the
question
julia
peek
for
the
record,
I
would
say
one
of
the
things
that
public
health
does
well
is
herd
cats.
We
presented
in
front
of
you
all
before
about
how
public
health
really
utilizes
a
variety
of
services
in
the
community
to
ultimately
address
social
determinants
and
help
people
navigate
that
system,
so
really
within
our
bailiwick.
But
how
are
we
going
to
do
it
specifically?
T
We?
We
are
hiring
staff
to
oversee
this.
Also
later
on
your
agenda.
We're
going
to
be
talking
about
the
workforce,
grant
that's
a
compliment
to
this
and
that
we
are
going
to
be
hiring
staff
to
help
us
manage
it.
The
covid
response
in
general
has
been
a
level
of
herding
cats
that
has
been
really
unprecedented
for
public
health,
but
I
think
we're
we're
ready
to
do
this.
T
We've
also
done
a
lot
of
work
as
we
see
the
applications
coming
forward
and
different
entities
that
are
able
to
apply.
We've
been
partnering
with
them
to
look
at
their
applications.
I
just
want
to
mention
sheila
lambert
specifically,
who
worked
with
southern
nevada,
health
district
and
our
other
partners
in
clark
county,
because
they
received
a
similar
grant
so
spent
a
whole
lot
of
work
to
make
sure
we're
crosswalking
those
and
not
duplicating
or
supplanting
anything,
but
no
small
undertaking
by
any
means.
Q
Great
thank
you
and
just
two
follow-ups.
If
I
can
share
brooks.
Q
T
Julia
peek
for
the
record
again
great
question,
and
so
what
we
did
is
during
their
application
again.
Sheila
lambert
with
the
director's
office
as
she
was
helping
us
write.
This
award
also
was
reviewing
their
application,
so
so
we
know
what
they're
submitting
for
and
making
sure
that
we're,
not
duplicative
or
and
that
we're
complementary.
But
if
things
change
again,
they
do
over
the
course
of
a
grant
implementation.
It's
ongoing
communication
with
those
entities
to
make
sure
that
that
we
aren't
duplicating
sheila.
C
No
thank
you
julia.
I
will
just
say
that,
as
part
of
the
director's
office
with
the
office
of
minority
health
and
equity,
that
part
of
the
deliverables
in
there
is
to
work
with
the
communities
throughout
the
state
and
southern
nevada.
Health
district,
of
course,
is
one
of
those
k
community
providers,
so
we
will
be
working
with
them
collaboratively
as
we
go
along,
so
that
we
are
all
aware
of
the
various
intricacies
and
what
we're
working
on
under
each
program.
Q
Thank
you
and
then
just
one
final
question
and
misspeak
this
one's,
perhaps
a
little
bit
pointed,
but
I
think
we've
done
an
amazing
job
in
public
health
of
herding
cats
and
lots
of
collaboration
and
community
partnership
and
good
good
work
and
amazing
work
during
the
pandemic.
And
I
commend
your
team.
Q
Maybe
where
we
haven't
always
succeeded,
is
on
the
issue
of
disparate
impact
and
reaching
out
to
communities
who
don't
perhaps
traditionally
participate
in
some
of
the
stakeholder
groups
that
we
regularly
see
at
the
table.
And
so
while
we
want
to
build
on
the
successes
that
we
have
had,
we
also
want
to
do
a
better
job
specifically
on
health
equity,
specifically
on
disparate
impact.
T
Julia
peaked
for
the
record
and
senator
eddie,
that's
pointed
but
appropriate,
and
I
think
that's
something
that
we
need
to
look
at.
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
we've
looked
at
in
the
past
is
continuing
to
fund
our
office
of
minority
health
and
equity
and
supporting
our
minority
health
and
equity
coalition.
T
I
Thank
you
through
the
chair
to
senator
ratty.
For
that
question.
What
I
can
tell
you
senator
is
that
it's
almost
like
we've
been
training.
For
this
moment.
I
I've
been
with
the
agency,
the
state
since
2018
and
the
office
of
minority
health
and
equity
has
been
cultivating
these
relationships
since
that
moment
going
forward,
and
so
we
have
established
track
records.
Q
I
Thank
you,
mr
through
the
chair.
Through
this
to
the
senator
again
going
back
to
planning,
we
began
planning
for
this
particular
activity
at
the
beginning
of
the
legislative
session.
I
My
advisory
committee
is
a
very
committed
group
of
individuals
and
we
are
led
by
a
legislative
advisor
senator,
patricia
spearman,
who
gave
us
for
a
warning
that
this
was
going
to
be
the
season
of
equity,
and
so
as
these
ideas
and
as
these
concepts
started
taking
form
from
bdr
through.
I
think
we're
talking
about
a
lot
of
legislation,
senator
that
has
come
through
the
pipeline.
I
One
of
those
examples
you
may
be
referring
to
senator
is
work.
That's
coming
out
of
the
governor's
office
through
senate
bill
424,
and
we
will
see
a
new
office
for
public
public
health
resources
in
the
governor's
office
and
my
office
will
get
one
grant
our
general
alleged
general
funded
staff
person.
As
a
result,
these
positions
are
at
their
core
designed
to
look
at
the
bigger
picture
and
to
look
at
the
total
pieces
that
are
moving
and
to
make
sure
that
they
are
working
in
tandem.
D
I'm
I'm
looking
at
this
in
our
notes,
the
the
breakout
of
underlying
social
determinants
of
health
disparities
at
and
underserved
communities,
and
then
I'm
looking
at
some
of
the
examples
that
were
given
of
the
activities
and
some
of
the
coordinating
agencies-
and
I
I'd
just
like
to
point
out
something
that
I
think
is
glaringly
absent
in
this-
is
the
impact
on
what
food
insecurity
has
had
to
this
state
over.
D
It's
had
a
light
shown
on
it
for
the
last
year,
but
it
has
been
an
ongoing
problem
for
a
very
long
time
in
the
state,
and
you
know
I.
I
totally
appreciate
wanting
to
look
at
cancer
prevention,
and
you
know
dealing
with
things
through
the
chronic
disease
budget.
But
one
of
the
biggest
problems
we
have
in
the
state,
the
largest
chronic
disease,
is
diabetes
and
a
lot
of
that
comes
through
through
diet.
So
just
my
own
personal
plug,
as
you
guys
move
forward
and
start
looking
at
some
of
these
things.
D
I
don't
see
anything
in
here
that
deals
with
with
food
insecurity,
diet,
healthy
eating
things
along
that
line
and
I'll
just
tell
you
to
provide
fresh
fruits
and
vegetables
to
the
food
pantry
that
I'm
with
is
it's
500
bucks
a
week
for
us
to
buy
good,
fresh
food?
For
folks
I
mean
we
could
buy
a
lot
of
other
stuff,
but
we
choose
to
buy
that
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
folks
who
come
to
us
get
healthy
food.
D
But
yet,
when
I
go
through
all
these
different
components
and
these
social
determinants,
I
don't
see
that
anywhere.
So
I'm
just
hoping
to
put
that
on
your
radar
so
that
it
can
be
considered
in
the
future,
because,
on
top
of
all
that,
we
have
food
deserts
in
especially
in
clark
county,
but
I
know
across
the
whole
state
there
are
food
deserts,
so
there's
a
lot
of
different
components
to
the
health
disparities
and
I'd
just
like
to
place
that
one
on
your
radar.
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
chairman.
A
A
And
it
looks
like
everybody
on
zoom
is
affirmative,
opposed,
nay,
and
the
motion
carries
unanimously
with
the
members
present
and
we
can
move
on
to
and
it's
funny
because
I'm
still
kind
of
like
stuck
in
session
mode,
wanting
to
assign
floor
statements.
A
It's
amazing
how
quickly
we
snap
right
back
into
our
our
conditioning,
and
that
takes
us
to
our
next
agenda
items
48
and
49,
which
are
from
the
department
of
health
and
human
services,
aging
and
disability
services,
both
of
those
items,
and
we
have
with
us
dina
schmidt,
to
hear
both
of
those
items.
A
And
if
you
wanted
to
come
up
and
and
present
those
for
us
briefly.
I
would
appreciate
that.
Q
The
two
work
programs
we
have
before
you
today-
item
48
is
requesting
a
reduction
in
medicaid
revenue
authority
for
the
autism
treatment
assistance
program.
Q
This
reduction
is
related
to
the
fact
that
we
no
longer
bill
on
behalf
of
our
providers
that
our
providers
are
now
all
involved
and
bill
directly
to
the
medicaid
program,
and
the
second
item
is
number
49,
which
is
requesting
additional
authority
from
for
cat
16,
which
is
the
tandem
funding
for
direct
services
in
the
autism
treatment
assistance
program,
and
it
really
is
just
to
align
our
authority
and
with
our
revised
projections,
I
think
we
did
the
work
program
a
while
back
and
we
reduced
the
the
authority
and
the
projections
were
on
a
downward
trend
and
we've
seen
a
little
bit
of
a
change.
Q
A
Have
thank
you
and
I
I'm
not
sure,
if
you're
on
zoom
or
on
the
phone,
but
we
cannot
see
you
on
the
screen
and
the
broadcast
services.
If
we
could,
we
could
bring
up
schmidt's
screen
help
us,
I
think,
a
little
bit,
but
I
want
to
there.
We
are
thank
you
appreciate
it
and
that
I
think
that
assemblywoman
benitez
thompson
did.
You
have
a
question.
H
H
The
agency
currently
projects
an
average
monthly
caseload
of
about
906
children
and
then
at
an
average
monthly
cost
of
about
304
dollars,
which
looks
to
be
lower
than
the
projections
that
were
used
to
determine
to
the
budget
rejection
for
the
31st
special
session,
and
then
we've
had
some
revisions
to
that.
I
think,
and
so
I
guess,
can
you
talk
to
us
a
little
bit
about
what
the
current
caseload
trends
are?
Looking
like
for
the
autism
treatment
assistance.
Q
Program,
the
dean
of
schmidt
for
the
record.
So
yes,
well
during
special
session,
we
did
have
a
downward
trend.
I
think,
as
we
mentioned
during
regular
session,
a
lot
of
that
we
believe
was
related
to
copenhagen
and
under
utilization
of
services.
Q
I
don't
have
our
current
case
with
projections,
but
the
last
ones
provided
during
session
did
show
an
uptake
in
services
and
an
expected
increase
in
utilization,
and
we
haven't
seen
any
trends
that
I'm
aware
of
in
the
last
couple
months
since
our
last
caseload
projections
that
are
any
different
than
that.
But
we
are
happy
to
provide
the
committee
with
any
follow-up
information
and
updated
caseload
projections
for
the
autism
treatment
assistance.
Q
A
Thank
you,
and
did
you
have
any
further
questions,
assemblywoman
benitez
thompson
or
that.
H
I
think
I
do
because-
and
we
were
doing
some
fancy
work
there
at
the
end
of
session-
to
to
make
sure
that
this
was
lining
all
up
and
if
he's
not
there,
a
big
shout
out
to
mr
yang,
who
was
quickly
revising
and
working
on
fiscal
notes
for
us,
but
it
looks
like
with
the
atap
program
was
approved
for
4.2
million,
but
only
2.1
million
was
budgeted,
but
then
there's
additional
1.7
million
that
remain
in
tanf
reserves
that
can
be
used.
So
I
guess,
are
we
gonna
end
up
in
a
spot?
H
Well,
I
guess
you'll.
Let
us
know
when
you
come
back
to
us
if
we're
in
a
spot,
where
there's
going
to
have
to
be
additional
funds
to
support
the
program
as
caseload
tells
us
what
our
needs
are.
Q
For
the
record,
that's
correct,
so
the
the
4.2
was
for
fiscal
year
21.,
and
so
there
were
some
funds
that
were
unutilized
that
went
back
to
this
to
stay
in
the
tanning
reserve
of
the
tanf
dollars.
That
we
received
is
what
I
think
you're
referring
to
is
that
4.2
was
what
we
were
anticipating
using
in
tenant
in
fiscal
year
21,
but
we
had
not
used
you
to
utilize.
Q
All
of
that,
so
a
portion
of
that
was
just
remained
in
the
ten
of
reserve
funds
and
then
yes
in
for
the
new
fiscal
year's
new
biennium,
we
have.
We
believe
that
our
budget
will
cover
the
projections,
but
obviously,
if
we
run
into
any
any
type
of
opportunity
where
we
might
be
looking
at
a
waitlist,
we
will
certainly
be
coming
back
to
this
committee
to
inform
you
and
let
you
know.
A
Thank
you
assemblywoman
and
thank
you
schmidt.
Do
we
have
any
other
questions
from
the
committee
on
these
two
all
right
with
that,
so
we
have
no
further
questions.
So
with
that
I
would
take
a
motion
to
approve
items:
48
49,
that's
work,
program,
c54192
and
c54380.
A
I
have
a
motion
from
vice
chair
carlton.
Second,
from
senator
dennis
any
discussion
on
the
motion.
I
do
not
see
any
so
all
in
favor.
I,
including,
let
me
see
who's
on
zoom
with
the
members.
A
Please
all
right
all
the
members
earned
I
and
any
opposed
nay,
and
the
motion
passes
unanimously
with
the
members
present
and
we
can
move
on
to
our
next
agenda
item,
which
is
agenda,
item
g65.
A
A
And
with
us
this
morning
or
afternoon,
at
this
point
I
think
we
have
mr
fisher
to
to
help
present
that,
for
us.
P
Fantastic
well
good
morning,
mr
chair
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record.
My
name
is
steve
fisher
and
I
serve
as
the
administrator
for
the
division
of
welfare
and
supportive
services
and
with
me
this
morning
on
zoom
is
robert
thompson.
He's
the
deputy
administrator
of
field
operations
and
also
sherry,
gallucci
she's,
our
snap
program
specialist.
Is
there
any
questions
the
committee
might
have
agenda
item?
P
65
is
requesting
four
million
eight
hundred
and
eighty
eight
thousand
fifteen
dollars
in
federal,
continuing
appropriations,
act,
food
and
nutrition
services,
supplemental
nutrition
assistance
program
or
snap
pandemic,
electronic
benefit,
transfer
or
pebt
grant
funds
for
the
continuation
of
the
pbt
issuance
to
eligible
school-age
children.
P
P
P
Certainly,
some
of
these
costs
were
estimated
at
the
time
and
therefore
certainly
we'll
be
coming
back
to
this
committee
in
the
future
to
request
any
sort
of
additional
authority
that
we
might
need
to
cause
to
cover
actual
costs.
P
Certainly
we're
working
on
the
system
enhancements
as
we
speak
and
those
system
enhancements
will
be
completed
right
around
mid
to
late
august.
We
will
issue
the
first
set
of
benefits
on
september
10th.
Those
benefits
will
cover
the
month
of
august
2020
through
november
of
2020,
that's
september
10th.
P
Then,
a
month
later,
in
october,
we
will
do
another
issuance
on
october
10th
and
those
benefits
will
cover
the
months
of
december
2020
through
february
of
2021
and
then
again
in
november
on
november
10th.
We
will
issue
the
remaining
benefits,
which
would
cover
the
months
of
march
2021
through
the
end
of
the
school
year
june
2021.
P
A
I
have
a
question
from
senator
kieckefer
and
then
we'll
go
to
vice
chair
carlton.
L
L
P
Record
steve
fisher:
it's
yes
to
senator
kieckefer,
it's
retro!
So
we're
looking
back
and
we're
getting
that
in
that
data
and
that
information
from
the
nevada
department
of
education
they'll
be
providing
that
information
to
us.
So
we
know
which
children
will
receive
benefits
under
which
months
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
So
I
hope
that
answers
your
question.
M
D
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
chairman,
and
and
thank
you
senator
for
clarifying
that
with
mr
fischer.
It's
nice
to
see
you,
mr
fisher,
and
I'm
glad
to
hear
about
these.
So
what
kind
of
program
are
you
going
to
put
together?
So
parents
understand
exactly
what
they're
getting
is
one
of
the
the
main
questions
that
I
have,
but
the
thing
I'd
like
to
address.
D
First
is
last
summer:
during
one
of
our
special
sessions,
we
had
an
ifc
meeting
where
this
first
round
of
funding
went
out
and
those
cards
were
going
to
a
lot
of
folks
and
there
were
a
number
of
questions
about
why
they
were
getting
cards
when
they
weren't
snap
benefits.
We
just
sent
cards
to
each
family
to
coordinate
with
the
children.
So
this
is
an
extension
of
that
program
and
we
got
some
pushback
from
folks
who
said
my.
I
don't
have
snap.
I
don't
need
snap,
my
kids
don't
go
to
a
title,
one
school.
D
Why
did
I
get
a
snap
card
in
the
mail
and
can
I
give
it
back?
What
do
I
do
with
it?
I
we
were
lucky
that
some
folks
bought
food
and
donated
it,
but
but
there
was
a
lot
of
confusion
and
we
understood
why
you
did
it.
You
had
to
get
the
money
out
quick,
it
was
all
about
feeding
families,
so
that
was
great.
But
here
we
are
a
year
later.
D
D
When
we
did
send
those
cards
out,
if
families
did
not
use
them,
where
did
those
unused
dollars
end
up
and
do
those
end
up
counting
against
nevada
in
any
way
for
us
having
unused
snap
dollars?
So
I
just
want
to
look
at
the
problem
we
had
last
time
and
to
see
how
this
new
program
is
going
to
address
those
to
make
sure
the
money
gets
in
the
right
place
and
move
on
from
there.
P
If
I
may,
I'm
going
to
ask
sherry
calucci
to
see
if
she
can
answer
that
question
questions.
C
Good
afternoon
sherry
gallucci
snap
program,
specialist
for
the
state
of
nevada.
For
the
record,
I
can
absolutely
address
those
concerns.
The
subset
of
individuals
that
you
are
referring
to
were
families
that
were
in
community
eligibility
provision.
Schools
are
provisioned
to
schools,
those
families,
although
we
did
put
out
a
flyer
stating
that
individuals
who
were
in
community
eligibility
provision,
schools
and
provision,
two
schools
would
be
eligible
for
pebt.
C
I
don't
believe
that
that
document
was
sent
out.
You
know
widely
enough
for
every
single
recipient
to
understand.
I
can
tell
you
this
year
we
are
preparing
another
set
of
q
and
a's
questions
and
answers.
We
have
engaged
with
the
schools
and
school
districts.
C
We've
been
engaged
with
them
for
the
past,
almost
six
months,
now
kind
of
explaining
these
processes
so
for
the
children
that
are
in
community
eligibility
provision,
schools,
they're
automatically
enrolled
and
eligible
for
the
national
free
and
reduced
lunch
program,
which
means
these
children
were
truly
eligible.
C
We
didn't
just
inadvertently,
send
all
of
these
cards
to
families
that
were
not
eligible.
They
absolutely
were
eligible
for
the
benefits.
Also,
as
steve
mentioned,
we
are
going
to
stand
up
a
vendor
call
center.
This
vendor
call
center
is
going
to
be
specifically
targeted
and
only
four
pevt
related
questions
with
the
vendor
call
center.
I
will
be
assisting
with
the
script
and
we
will
absolutely
address
all
of
the
concerns
from
last
year
and
the
lessons
learned.
D
And
thank
you
very
much
yes,
it
it.
It
does
answer
a
number
of
them.
I
guess
my
follow-up
question
is
with
some
of
the
folks
that
got
those
cards
last
time
and
with
folks
who
might
be
getting
cards
this
time
if
they
decide
not
to
use
those
dollars
because
they
don't
feel
like
their
family
should
take
advantage
of
that.
For
whatever
reason,
what
is
the
process?
D
If
those
dollars
are
left
on
the
card,
we
know
they
don't
come
to
unclaimed
property
because
they're
federal
dollars,
if
those
dollars
are
not
accessed,
does
that
count
against
nevada
in
any
way
in
the
future,
for
not
accessing
all
of
our
snap
dollars
that
were
made
available
to
us.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
inadvertently
cause
a
problem
down
the
road
with
snap,
because
we
understand
how
important
these
dollars
are
to
families
even
before
the
pandemic
and
still
will
be
after
the
pandemic.
M
Robert
thompson,
for
the
record,
there
is
no
negative
impact
to
nevada.
If
those
cards
go
unused,
any
any
recipients
of
snap
can
stop
using
their
card
at
any
time
and
after
I
believe
it's
a
nine-month
period,
you
know
I
do
believe
it's
a
nine-month
period
right
now.
We
revert
those
dollars
back
to
the
federal
government
back
to
fns.
D
D
You
had
to
get
the
money
out
to
these
families
as
quickly
as
possible
last
summer,
but
I'm
glad
you're,
building
in
the
the
call
center
and
and
and
the
summer
program
to
make
sure
and
all
the
public
information
that's
going
to
need
to
get
to
these
families
so
that
they
understand
these
dollars
are
available
and
thank
you
for
picking
the
tenth
of
the
month,
because
that's
the
last
day
for
food
stamps
or
for
snap.
D
A
All
right?
Thank
you,
mr
fisher,
mr
thompson
and
miss
gallucci,
and
with
that
I
would
take
a
motion
to
approve
item
65,
which
is
work
program.
Six,
five,
four,
four,
five
six.
A
I
it
looks
as
if
all
of
our
members
on
zoom
have
their
hand
up
so
any
opposed,
nay,
and
the
motion
passes
unanimously
with
the
members
present
and
we
can
move
on
to
our
next
agenda
item,
which
is
oh
item,
90
8
item
98.
We
made
a
revision
to
oh
I'm
sorry,
item
98,
we
were
gonna
pull
senator
goku
chia
had
some
questions
on,
and
so
let
me
go
over
to
that
item.
M
C
Honorable
members
of
the
committee,
this
is
adrian
monroe
for
the
record,
I'm
the
assistant
chief
of
fiscal
for
the
department
of
corrections
and
currently
the
acting
chief.
I
can
tell
you
that
it
is
the
intentions
of
the
department
of
corrections
to
reopen
the
camp.
I
can't
give
you
an
exact
date
and
time,
but
we
are
grateful
for
and
appreciate
the
ongoing
patience
of
the
legislature
and
senator
I
can.
I
can
tell
you
that
we
are
working
with
workforce
connection
and
theater
to
post
our
vacancies
and
and
we're
really
we're.
C
M
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
So
then
we
are
the
first
quarter
of
22
we
saved
it
will
be
open.
Then
I'm
just
looking
for
a
a
time
frame.
Clearly
we're
stretching
those
camps,
pyoch
and
wells,
trying
to
meet
those
fuel
reduction
contracts
that
ndf
has
got
in
place,
they're,
just
not
they're,
not
getting
done
and
we're
moving
into
the
heart
of
the
fire
season.
So
again
we
continue
to
budget
it,
but
the
camp
is
still
closed.
So
thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
with
that
I'll
make
a
motion.
If
that's
what
you
want.
A
Any
other
questions
on
on
this
agenda
item
for
the
department
of
corrections
all
right.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Miss
monroe.
I
appreciate
the
clarification
on
that
and
senator
gokuchi.
If
you
want
to
make
a
motion.
M
A
Right
have
a
motion
from
senator
gokuchiya.
I
have
a
second
from
vice
chair
carlton.
Any
discussion
on
that
motion,
seeing
none
all
in
favor
aye
and
we
have
everyone
on
zoom
is
yes
and
so
all
opposed,
nay,
and
the
motion
passes
unanimously
with
the
members
present
and
now
we
can
move
on
to.
A
Oh,
we
have
one
of
the
items
that
we
made.
A
provision
to
earlier
was
item
one
zero,
five
and
one
zero
five
was
a
transfer
of
sixty
thousand
dollars
and-
and
we
revised
that-
and
that
was
to
a
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand
dollars,
as
described
by
mr
thorley
earlier
on.
A
I
have
a
motion
from
vice
chair
carlton,
a
second
from
senator
dennis
any
discussion
on
that
motion,
seeing
none
all
in
favor
I,
and
if
we
can
go
to
our
members
on
zoom,
we
lost
that
screen
there.
We
are
and
they're
all
eyes
in
any
opposed,
nay
and
motion
passes
unanimously
with
the
members
present,
and
we
can
go
on
to
our
next
item,
which
I
believe
is.
A
A
T
Perfect,
thank
you
good
afternoon,
chair
brooks
and
members
of
the
interim
finance
committee.
My
name
is
julia
peek
and
I
serve
as
one
of
the
deputy
administrators
with
the
division
of
public
and
behavioral
health.
I'm
joined
by
my
colleague,
debbie
reynolds,
who
also
serves
as
a
deputy
administrator
work
program.
C54827
is
a
work
program
to
add
a
new
cooperative
agreement
for
emergency
response,
public
health
crisis
response
at
dpbh.
T
We
have
referred
to
this
grant
as
our
workforce
grant,
because
it
is
one
of
the
most
flexible
federal
funding
received
by
the
division
to
meet
the
staffing
needs
that
have
been
identified
as
a
result
of
covid.
This
grant
is
for
over
19
million
dollars
for
two
years.
It
is
starting
on
july,
1st,
2021
and
ending
on
june
30th
2023.
T
It
is
allowable
to
charge
for
expenses
that
were
incurred
on
or
after
may
14th,
but
the
division
does
not
plan
to
backfill
any
expenses.
At
this
point,
we
are
still
awaiting
more
detailed
guidance
and
reporting
templates
from
our
partners
at
the
cdc,
but
based
on
the
information
received
to
date,
this
funding
is
really
directed
to
do
three
things:
either
direct
covered
response,
staffing
directly
provide
for
staffing
gaps
that
have
been
identified
as
a
result
of
our
covid
response
and
really
support
public
health
pipeline
staffing
and
support
efforts.
T
As
we
have
presented
to
this
body
in
the
past,
we've
been
awarded
several
categorical
grants
that
have
met
the
staffing
needs
related
to,
for
example,
epidemiology
laboratory
services
diversity,
as
we
presented
earlier
today.
Immunizations,
therefore,
most
of
the
staffing
in
this
grant
will
be
focused
on
the
gaps
that
have
been
identified
as
a
result
of
covid,
and
then
our
public
health
pipeline
efforts,
not
not
a
direct
service
per
se,
is
because
those
grants
have
addressed
that
cdc
does
have
some
requirements.
T
T
This
award
specifically
notes
that
administrative
staff
are
allowable,
which
is
not
often
the
case
in
many
of
the
grants
we
get
and
has
been
limiting
in
our
other
covet
awards,
but
I
cannot
underscore
the
need
for
these
positions
for
our
division.
The
gap
has
been
identified
specifically
in
our
fiscal
and
grant
management,
human
resources,
policy
staff
and
communication.
T
There
are
a
couple
metrics
that
we're
required
to
report
on
the
first
being
progress
toward
meeting
our
hiring
goals
over
that
two-year
period
and
then
details
on
the
specific
roles
of
those
positions,
the
second
one
being
details
on
the
diversity
of
sapphire
and
equity
and
inclusion
activities
of
those
staff.
Again
we're
expecting
much
more
detailed
guidance
in
templates.
We
just
don't
have
those
quite
yet.
T
In
summary,
we
have
a
few
specific
things
that
we
have
structured:
the
funding
to
address
this
being
state
staffing
to
ensure
timely
and
accurate
fiscal
management
and
compliance
with
the
grant
deliverables,
state,
staffing
to
ensuringly,
inaccurate
health
data
and
epidemiology
state
and
university
staffing
to
support
human
resources
and
pipeline
efforts.
Policy
support
to
assist
our
division,
accomplish
accreditation
and
analyze
public
health
policy
and
offer
suggestions
for
improvement,
specifically
as
it
relates
to
our
public
health
administration
and
authorities.
T
State
staffing
to
sport,
communication
efforts
specifically
focused
on
our
website
and
public
information.
We
have
also
included
funding
for
our
nevada
system
of
higher
education,
to
focus
on
academic
health
departments,
and
I
did
speak
about
this
during
session.
We're
also
going
to
be
working
with
our
nevada
association
of
county
health
officials
to
provide
technical
assistance
and
support
for
our
county
boards
of
health
and
county
commissioners
as
they
develop
public
health
strategies
locally
for
our
health
authorities
and
that's
in
washoe
and
clark
counties.
T
T
This
is
going
to
fund
the
development
of
re,
regional
or
county
health
departments,
so,
by
way
of
example,
we're
working
really
closely
with
churchill
county
who's
going
to
be
partnering
with
mineral
county,
persian
county
and
eureka
county
to
develop
a
public
health
strategy
for
those
counties
really
reflective
of
regional
public
health,
which
would
be
a
great
step
forward
in
our
state.
We
also
are
working
with
clark,
elko
county,
to
assess
a
county
public,
I'm
sorry,
a
county
city,
public
health
department,
which
is
one
option
again
allowed
in
our
nrs
and
nac.
T
We
also
are
planning
to
work
with
the
cdc
foundation,
which
has
been
an
incredible
partner
to
help
us
with
recruitment
and
oversight
of
the
staffing
that'll
been
that
have
been
hired.
T
We
were
introduced
to
the
cdc
foundation
early
in
the
response
and
they
have
helped
us
recruit
staffing
from
everything
from
the
office
of
minority
health
to
senior
genealogist
and
medical
staff.
So
they're
going
to
remain
a
partner
for
this
one
as
well
I'll.
Just
note
that
the
companion
work
programs
for
budget
account
3223
specifically,
will
be
presented
at
the
august
ifc
meeting.
T
We
have
requested,
in
that
case
time
ending
or
intermittent
ftes,
as
we
do
want
to
recruit
state
some
staff
with
state
experience
and
offer
promotional
pipelines
for
our
state
staff
as
well,
and
so
we
look
forward
to
presenting
that
in
a
couple
months
to
you,
it
is
difficult
to
implement
a
workforce
grant.
That
is
two
years
in
scope,
and
we
understand
that.
But
we
are
hopeful
that
this
is
one
that
cdc
will
extend
for
years
to
come.
T
That
said,
the
model
we
are
using
will
be
temporary,
so
we're
not
going
to
obligate
the
state
to
continue
to
fund
those
positions.
Should
the
taf
staffing
not
should
the
funding
not
be
there?
That
concludes
my
written
statements
and
mr
reynolds
and
I
are
happy
to
take
questions
that
you
may
have.
A
Thank
you
miss
peak.
Do
we
have
any
questions
from
the
committee
on
this
this
item?
We
have
assemblyman
roberts
go
ahead.
Please.
O
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
you
you
talked
about
it
briefly.
The
2.6
million
that
are
allocated
to
counties-
and
you
talked
about
some
of
the
things
on
our
backup
document.
It
doesn't
didn't,
have
determined,
but
you
covered
a
little
bit
of
it.
What's
the
timeline,
do
you
think
for
that
2.6,
for
when
you'll
allocate
that.
P
T
Absolutely
julia
peek
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
the
question,
assemblyman
roberts.
So
we
are
in
negotiations,
as
I
mentioned,
the
final
grant
and
work
planner
due
to
the
cdc
within
60
days,
so
we're
in
the
process
right
now
of
working
through
that,
as
I
mentioned,
we're
going
to
be
funding
the
counties
that
fall
under
our
chief
medical
officer,
so
in
nevada
we're
a
largely
decentralized
public
health
system,
and
that
basically
means
the
bulk
of
the
population
are
served
by
washoe,
county
and
clark
county.
T
Every
other
county
falls
under
the
state
public
health
program.
Under
the
chief
medical
officer,
we've
learned
that
that's
not
the
best
model
and
and
our
communities
in
the
rural
counties
have
really
stepped
up
to
address
coven,
and
so
what
this
funding
is
going
to
be
again
we're
negotiating
the
amount
going
to
each
entity,
as
we
speak
so
hope
to
have
that
in
the
next
few
weeks.
T
So
we
could
get
the
sub
award
out,
but
one
example
is
working
directly
with
churchill,
county
who's,
partnered
with
mineral
pershing
and
eureka
to
develop
a
quad
county
model.
You've
seen
this
model
also
used
by
carson
city,
health
and
human
services.
So
it's
a
it's
a
quasi
regional
health
department.
T
So
it's
going
to
be
encouraging
that
type
of
development
and
also
within
our
statute,
it's
allowed
to
have
a
county
and
city
combination
to
make
a
health
department,
so
we're
help
hoping
to
work
with
elko,
specifically
who's
ready
and
prepared
to
do
that.
So
again,
as
far
as
the
exact
sub
award,
I'm
hoping
the
next
few
weeks
that
we
can
really
start
as
close
to
july
1st
as
possible
in
spending
this
money
and
hiring
this
workforce.
M
A
I
I
just
had
one:
did
you
anticipate
having
difficulties
in
finding
some
of
these
contract
positions,
especially
in
like
rural
tribal
communities
and
a
little
bit
further
away
from
population
centers.
T
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
question
chair.
Yes,
I
mean
hiring
workforce
is
a
challenge
I'll
say
that
our
partnership
with
the
cdc
foundation
has
been
very
fruitful.
They
certainly
have
a
much
better
method
for
recruiting
and
finding
staff.
T
They
also
offer
benefits
a
ton
of
peer
learning
opportunities,
so
we
hope
that
by
using
the
cdc
foundation
in
this
regard,
the
recruitment
and
retainment
of
the
workforce
will
be
much
easier
under
one
of
our
other
grants.
I'll
know
we
just
hired
an
excellent
tribal
liaison
that
the
cdc
foundation
helped
us
find
and
recruit.
So
we're
confident
that
this
is
the
best
opportunity
to
find
the
workforce
that
we
need,
but
certainly
workforce
grants
are
really
hard
and
we
remain
flexible.
A
A
I
have
a
motion
from
vice
chair
carlton.
I
have
a
second
from
senator
dennis.
Do
I
have
any
discussions
on
that
motion
seeing
none
all
in
favor,
I
I
and
we
have
all
eyes
on
zoom
any
opposed,
nay,
and
the
motion
passes
unanimously
of
all
the
members
present
and
we
can
move
on
to
our
last
agenda
items
and
our
last
agenda.
Not
excuse
me
not
our
last
agenda
items
but
our
last
items
under
item
g
and
those
are
item
132
and
133.
A
They
were
coronavirus,
relief,
funds,
work
programs
and
there's
several
of
those,
and
we
didn't
necessarily
have
any
issues
associated
with
them.
But
I
think
we
wanted
just
a
little
bit
of
clarification
on
a
few
of
those
from
vice
chair,
carlton
and
so
vice
chair
of
cards.
And,
if
you
carlton,
if
you
want
to
identify
which
one
of
those
that
you
were
curious
about,
that
probably
get
us
the
appropriate
agency
to
ask
the
question
answer
the
question.
D
And
I
think
this
and
thank
you
very
much,
mr
chairman,
for
for
allowing
the
questions.
I
think
this
is
more
than
just
and
to
address
the
actual
layout
of
how
these
were
processed.
I
I
go
through
the
document
and
there's
a
budget
account
description,
there's
the
salaries
or
contract
staff,
there's
the
ppe
and
equipment
we
talked
about
that
the
telework
and
the
second
order
effects.
D
I
think
I
need
to
understand
what
the
second
order
effects
are,
so
that,
when
I
look
at
this
chart,
I
truly
understand
how
these
dollars
are
being
switched
out
and
we've
come
to
call
this
we're
changing
the
color
of
money
in
a
certain
way,
because
we're
able
to
use
dollars
to
supplement
state
dollars.
So
what
is
the
second
order
of
effects?
D
E
E
Good
morning
leslie
mullen
cam
from
the
governor's
finance
office.
I
think
I
might
be
able
to
answer
some
of
those
questions
just
with
a
brief
overview,
which
will
hopefully
help
as
part
of
the
process.
What
happened
is
in
line
with
the
cdc
guidance
and
the
state
emergency
directives.
E
One
of
the
things
that
had
asked
about
was
coba,
19,
related
supplies,
equipment
or
personnel
costs,
as
well
as
any
required
resources
to
address
any
adverse
operational
effects
due
to
the
coca-19
pandemic,
and
this
would
be
resources
such
as
temporary
staff
or
contract
help
essential
to
address
any
kind
of
backlog
or
productivity
issues
that
might
have
occurred
as
a
result
of
the
covet-19
pandemic,
and
so,
as
we
gather
the
information
together,
we
we
gathered
it
initially
with
a
survey
and
then
at
that
point
in
time
that
was
vetted
to
only
identify
the
most
essential
needs
to
be
able
to
move
forward.
E
We
were
originally
looking
at
about
190
budget
accounts
with
190
million
dollars
in
requests,
and
what
you
see
before
you
here
today
was
really
only
the
most
essential
ones
that
move
forward.
I
think
we
have
156
budget
accounts
that
were
approved
and
20
approximately
21.7
million.
So
again,
I
think
the
area
you
may
be
talking
about
that
that
may
be
a
bit
of
confusing
is
any
resources
that
were
related
to
backlog,
those
those
would
generally
be
outside
of
the
norm
of
you
know
they
wouldn't
be
supplies
and
equipment.
D
And
thank
you
very
much,
ms
mullen
cam.
So
when
I
look
at
the
chart-
and
it's
the
one
at
the
top
of
the
list-
it's
not
like
I'm
picking
it
out,
it's
just
the
first
one,
so
the
ag's
office,
extradition
coordinator
under
second
order
of
effects,
would
be
a
little
over
284
thousand
dollars.
So
with
your
explanation,
I'm
assuming
that
was
to
get
the
backlog
of
work.
That
was
done
when
extraditions
were
not
allowed
to
happen
and
we're
trying
to
play
catch-up
with
these
folks
is.
Is
that
correct.
E
D
A
A
A
They
are
all
in
the
affirmative
and
any
opposed,
nay
and
motion
passes
unanimously
with
the
members
present
and
that
wraps
up
agenda
item
g
and
all
of
the
items
within
the
individual
items
within
g,
and
I
think
this
is
an
appropriate
place
for
us
to
take
a
a
30
minute
break.
We've
we've
been
at
it
here
for
about
three
hours
and
45
minutes.
We
have,
I
think,
a
couple
of
hours
left
to
wrap
this
up
and
it
let's
take
a
break.
