B
H
A
A
I
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
president.
It's
nice
to
see
you
up
there
instead
of
me.
I
appreciate
that
so
good
morning.
Everyone
and
thank
you
so
much
for
the
invitation
to
be
able
to
come
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
the
united
labor
agency
of
nevada
does
in
clark
county
in
particular
services
for
seniors.
I
You
do
have
a
flyer.
That's
been
provided
to
you
that
has
some
very
basic
information
contact
information
and
some
of
the
resources
that
we
have
I'll
be
going
through
a
little
bit
of
our
history
and
telling
you
some
of
the
work
that
we
have
been
doing.
United
labor
agency
has
been
around
since
1995
myself
and
the
new
executive
deputy
director
were
both
hired
in
november
of
2018.
So
we've
been
there
for
almost
about
four
years
now.
I
Typically,
the
united
way
and
its
larger
cities
will
have
a
labor
liaison
so
that,
if
something
happens,
a
major
layoff
shutdown,
a
plant
retools
for
something
they
have
a
liaison,
that
they
work
with
to
make
sure
that
those
families
get
the
resources
that
they
need
to
make
it
through
that
time,
where
they
might
not
be
working
well,
clark,
county
being
as
large
as
it
was
and
as
labor
dense
as
it
is,
rather
than
just
having
a
labor
liaison.
They
set
up
a
whole
agency
to
help
those
families.
I
Those
of
us
that
have
been
here
in
the
state
for
a
long
time
and
even
longer
than
myself
will
remember
when
the
strip
pretty
much
shut
down
after
thanksgiving
and
really
didn't
gear
up
again
until
new
year's
eve.
So
you
did
have
a
lot
of
folks
that
you
know
might
have
had
a
rough
patch
for
about
a
month
or
construction
workers.
It
seemed
for
a
long
time.
We
were
building
one
tower
after
another,
but
there
was
a
time
when
there
was
two
or
three
months
in
between
different
jobs
for
our
different
trades.
I
So
united
labor
agency
was
there
to
help
those
families
get
over
that
bump
in
the
road
to
make
sure
that
they
stayed
stable
until
the
next
job
came
along
and
they've
done
a
wonderful
job
over
the
last
27
28
years.
So
that's
our
major
partner
is
the
united
way
and
currently
the
the
program
that
we
access
through
them
is
called
the
emergency
food
and
shelter
program,
and
it's
really
geared
towards
folks.
I
Who've
had
some
type
of
an
emergency
or
have
received
an
eviction
notice
and
it
allows
us
to
pay
one
month's
rent
for
them,
so
they
would
call
in
where
they
can
access
us
through
a
number
of
different
ways.
The
unions
send
us
referrals,
churches,
send
us
referrals
and
also
we're
listed
on
2-1-1
on
the
state
website.
So
if
people
call
2-1-1
we're
one
of
the
agencies
that
people
we
get
referred
to,
so
the
emergency
food
and
shelter
program
is
one
of
our
major
programs
right
now.
We
currently
also
partner
with
clark
county.
I
As
far
as
some
of
the
chap
funding
and
some
of
the
other
funding,
that's
available,
the
state
of
nevada
for
the
nutrition
for
life
program.
Albertsons
is
a
great
supporter
of
ours
through
their
foundation.
So
when
you
shop
at
albertsons-
and
you
put
that
change
in
that
little
container
there,
they
collect
all
that
change
up
and
they
take
applications
from
different
folks
and
we're
very
lucky.
That
albertsons
has
been
a
great
supporter
of
uland
to
help
us
keep
a
very
nice
food
pantry
going
year
round.
I
We
also
receive
a
nutrition
for
life
grant
from
the
state
and
that
allows
us
to
buy
healthy
foods
for
the
food
pantry.
Also,
we
partner
with
three
square,
which
is
a
very
great
partner
of
our
they
actually
deliver
food
to
us.
We
order
it
and
during
covid
and
just
recently,
a
lot
of
the
funding
that
they've
received.
I
We're
able
to
get
a
lot
of
food
delivered
and
pay
a
very,
very
low
price
for
it,
which
allows
us
to
be
able
to
purchase
other
foods
for
families
in
need,
and
we
also
partner
with
bishop's
pantry,
which
is
a
part
of
the
church
of
jesus
christ.
In
later
day
saints.
They
are
kind
of
a
you
land
in
their
church.
They
refer
folks
there
and
they
have
a
very
large
food
pantry
and
when
they
get
overstocked
or
they
don't
think,
they'll
be
able
to
use
something
within
the
time
before
it
will
expire.
I
I
We
have
a
food,
pantry,
diaper
bank,
toiletries
hygiene
items,
dog
food
we
try
to
do
and
provide
whatever
we
think
a
family
is
going
to
need
to
make
it
just
a
little
bit
easier
to
get
to
that
next
paycheck.
We
also
realize
that
there
are
a
lot
of
things
that
snap,
the
supplemental
nutritionist
program
does
not
pay
for.
You
can't
get
toothpaste,
you
can't
get
toilet
paper.
You
can't
get
dog
food
or
shampoo,
some
of
the
basic
things.
I
Ulan
does
not
have
any
means
testing
we
do
check.
We
different
programs
will
require
an
income
threshold,
but
we
don't
ask
an
income
threshold
to
just
access
our
programs
unless
it's
a
federal
program,
because
we
know
sometimes
a
year,
will
be
going
great
and
an
emergency
will
happen
and
that
family
needs
help
that
month.
So
just
because
they
were
making
great
money.
The
first
six
months
of
the
month
doesn't
of
the
year
doesn't
mean
they
don't
need
help
this
month.
So
we
try
to
take
that
into
consideration.
I
Our
major
fundraisers
during
the
year
is
a
is
a
golf
tournament
which
president
almirez
can
tell
you
about,
because
she's
out
there
sweating
in
june
with
us,
helping
us
support
the
golf
tournament,
and
we
also
have
luncheons
three
times
a
year
which
support
ulan.
Our
work
is
basically
of
someone
gets
referred
to
us.
We
do
a
pre-screen
to
try
to
figure
out
is
there's.
Is
there
a
program
that
we
have
that
can
assist
them
and,
if
not
we'll
refer
them
to
one
of
the
other
programs
that
we
partner
with?
I
If
we
can
help
them
through
the
pre-screen,
then
it'll
be
given
to
an
intake
person.
They'll
walk
them
through
the
process.
Tell
them
what
documents
they
need
figure
out.
What
the
actual
issue
is
after
a
file
is
put
together,
we
always
make
sure
folks
know
to
come
and
get
some
food,
no
matter
what
we
do
for
them.
We
always
tell
them
where
we
are.
I
Have
apprenticeship
programs
and
part
of
that
apprenticeship
program
is
doing
community
service
work.
So
we
do
have
a
lot
of
the
apprentices
come
in
and
then
we
have
some
former
clients
that
we've
helped
out
that
are
doing
well
now
come
in
and
help
we
do
holiday
food
at
thanksgiving
christmas
and
at
easter.
So
we
do
large
food
draw
large
food
distributions
there
we
usually
send
out
between
four
and
500
food
baskets
at
thanksgiving.
Of
course,
it's
a
turkey,
and
hopefully
this
year,
we'll
be
able
to
get
those
turkeys
at
christmas.
I
It's
usually
a
ham
and
then
at
easter.
It's
usually
a
ham
also
just
depends
on
with
the
food
and
the
way
the
supply
chain
has
been
over
the
last
year.
We
were
just
very
happy
when
we
can
get
the
order
that
we
ordered.
So
with
that
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
We
would
love
to
expand
our
senior
demographic.
I
We
have
had
a
lot
of
calls
from
them
for
rental
assistance
and
currently
right
now.
I
am
working
with
clark,
county
and
three
of
the
commissioners
in
particular,
in
trying
to
figure
out
some
rental
assistance
for
some
of
these
seniors,
because
these
the
most
of
the
monies
that
are
out
there
right
now,
are
geared
towards
covid
or
they're
geared
towards
that
eviction.
I
So
there's
this
gap
that
seniors
are
falling
in
and
we're
all
working
very
hard
to
figure
out
how
we
close
that
gap
so
that
we
can
catch
those
seniors
before
they
end
up
with
an
eviction
and
before
they
end
up
in
eviction
court.
So
that's
one
of
our
major
projects
right
now
is
trying
to
serve
seniors,
who
have
gotten
very
unreasonable
rent
increases
over
the
last
six
months.
A
Thank
you,
miss
carlton
for
your
presentation
for
full
transparency.
I
would
like
to
tell
the
forum
members
that
I
asked
our
staff
to
reach
out
to
miss
carlton
and
ulan
to
have
her
come
and
make
a
presentation
I
do
volunteer
over
there.
A
They
help
seniors
in
numerous
ways,
and
this
is
just
another
program
that
I
wanted
the
forum
to
be
aware
of
for
your
constituents.
I
Maggie
carlton
executive
director
of
united
labor
agency
of
nevada,
unfortunately
there
is
no
ulan
in
northern
nevada.
We
are.
We
are
a
southern
nevada
program.
Years
ago
there
were
discussions
of
bringing
uland
to
northern
nevada,
and
I
have
been
working
with
the
northern
nevada
central
labor
council.
We
were
in
some
serious
discussions,
but
then
cove
had
reared
its
ugly
head,
so
those
discussions
were
put
on
hold.
We
have
been
assisting
folks
in
northern
nevada
depending
upon
what
the
different
project
is.
I
We've
had
folks
up
there
reach
out
to
us
when
the
teamsters
were
on
strike.
The
northern
nevada
clc
will
have
members
that
are
having
issues,
so
we
are
available
to
them
to
assist
them.
We
would
love
to
go
up
to
northern
nevada,
but
we
just
haven't
been:
we've
been
so
busy
trying
to
deal
with
southern
nevada
over
the
last
couple
of
years
that
that
got
put
on
the
back
burner,
but
we
are
available
to
the
northern
nevada
central
labor
council
to
assist
them
with
any
any
members
that
they
need
help.
I
The
oh
on
your
your
virtual,
so
I'm
not
sure
if
you've
received
the
flyer
yet,
but
yes,
we
always
we're
always
interested
in
volunteers
coming
to
help,
especially
through
the
holidays.
When
we're
making
all
those
boxes
you
can
reach
out
to
us
on
facebook,
which
is
at
ulan.lv.
So
that
is
our
facebook.
I
Our
home
number
is
702
648
3500.
You
can
always
call
there.
My
extension
is
number
106,
so
you
can
reach
me
at
that
extension
and
then
the
services
at
uland.org
is
the
general
email
that
we
use
for
folks.
So
it
doesn't
end
up
buried
in
one
of
the
employees
emails
where
they
get
a
hundred
of
them
a
day.
D
I
Absolutely
the
the
only
barrier
that
we
have
found
is
we
are
not
allowed
to
deliver.
We
do
not
have
the
insurance
to
deliver
now.
President
alvarez
has
volunteered
many
many
times
to
pick
things
up
from
uland
and
take
them
to
some
of
the
retirees
who
need
assistance,
we'll
send
them
food
we'll,
send
them
toiletries
whatever
they
need.
So
we
just
she'll
find
out
what
they
need.
I
They'll
call
us
we'll
do
all
the
paperwork
virtually
so
that
they
don't
need
to
leave
their
home
and
we'll
do
it
by
email
and
if
they're,
not
email
savvy,
we
send
a
paper
form
along
with
the
volunteer
they'll
fill
it
out.
They'll
bring
it
back
because
we
do
need
to
do
demographics.
We
do
need
to
keep
track.
I
That
allows
us
to
apply
for
more
grants
by
showing
that
the
folks
that
we
are
serving
so
having
good,
solid
demographics
in
the
in
the
past
had
really
helped
us
through
kovid,
be
able
to
show
the
different
entities
how
much
we
actually
do
help
seniors.
So
the
only
barrier
we
have
is
that
problem
delivery,
home
health
care,
but
we're
more
than
happy
to
put
food
together
toiletries.
D
Well,
I
used
to
work
at
child
haven.
D
If,
because
there
are
so
many
seniors
that
in
dire
need,
in
addition
to
the
items
that
you're
already
doing,
that,
that
might
be
some
way
that
you
could
expand
your
services
that
they
could
also
receive
clothing.
It's
made:
it's
made
a
huge
difference
in
child
care
that
you
know
foster
parents
can
come
in
and
get
outfits
for
their
kids
as
they
start
the
school
year
at
no
cost
to
them,
and
it
does
have
to
be
coordinated.
D
I
And
thank
you
very
much
as
maggie
carlton
executive
director
of
united
labor
agency.
Thank
you.
Miss
levitt.
We've
we've
thought
about
a
number
of
those
different
things,
and
actually
we
were
working
on
a
project
before
covet
hit
where
we
were
going
to
do
like
an
adopt
a
senior
type
program
like
they
do
the
angels.
On
the
christmas
tree
for
the
kids,
we
were
going
to
try
to
do
something
like
that,
but
unfortunately
that
was
one
of
the
things
that
just
keeping
people
fed
and
housed
through
covid
was
was
monumental
for
us.
I
We're
we're
basically
a
a
women-run
agency,
there's
six
of
us
that
that
run
it
so
we're
we're
small
and
have
very
little
space.
But
when
we
have
received
large
donations,
we
do
reach
out
to
folks
there's
a
couple
of
group
homes
that
we
work
with
there's
a
senior
center
that
we
work
with.
There's
another
food
bank
not
far
from
us
at
one
of
the
churches
that
we
work
with.
D
Well,
that's
great
to
hear
it
and
the
adopted
senior
was
mentioned
and
I've
thought
about
that
because
you
know
I
that's
something
I
donate
to
every
year
too,
but
that's
one
time
a
year
yeah-
and
this
is
an
ongoing
need,
of
course-
and
I'm
just
I'm
just
planting
the
seed,
because
I
think
it's
possible
if
we
could
find
the
right
organization
to
do
it,
and
I
think
it
could
make
a
tremendous
difference.
But
thank
you
so
much
for
what
you're
doing
and
for
your
presentation.
G
I
Thank
you.
The
contributions
that
we
get
from
the
different
unions
are
basically
out
of
their
operating,
so
I'm
not
sure
where
they
pull
it
from
as
far
as
united
way
goes.
When
you
mark
that
box
that
you're
donating
to
the
united
way,
there
are
a
number
of
people
that
will
write
in
ulan
and
the
money
will
come
directly
to
us.
I
If
they
don't
write
in
you
land.
The
money
goes
to
united
way
and
then
united
way
accepts
requests
for
grants.
We
don't
get
those
dollars.
We
only
get
the
dollars
that
are
designated
to
go
to
uland.
The
other
program
through
united
way
is
the
emergency
food
and
shelter
program.
That's
actually
through
fema
the
federal
emergency
management
and
they
have
a
block
grant
that
they
send
a
portion
out
to
every
single
state
united
way
receives
those
dollars,
and
then
we
apply
through
united
way
to
get
those
dollars.
I
I
call
it
we're
working
for
free,
because
every
single
dollar
that
we
get
is
a
pass
through,
so
there's
no
percentage
that
actually
comes
to
you
land
in
doing
that
work.
But
it's
important
because
folks
need
that
one
month's
worth
of
rent
as
far
as
the
state
of
nevada
goes:
that's
the
nutrition
for
life,
grant
that
we
apply
for
and
that
pays
for
one
of
our
folks
to
actually
manage
it.
I
It
covers
the
man
hours
for
that
and
it
is
a
two-year
grant
and
it's
approximately
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
over
two
years
and
it
covers,
like
I
said
one
person
and
then
the
purchase
of
all
the
food
that
goes
with
that
clark
county
over
covid,
of
course,
was
our
largest
contributor
ulan
received
over
two
million
dollars
from
clark
county
and
it
went
to
pay
rent
and
utility
bills
for
folks.
We
were
amazed
at
how
fast
we
could
spend
it,
but
there
was
a
huge
need.
The
albertsons
foundation
has
been
wonderful
to
us.
I
We
would
have
typically
gotten
50
to
seventy
five
thousand
dollars
a
year
from
them.
The
last
couple
of
years
they've
seen
the
work
that
we've
done
and
they've
doubled
and
tripled
that,
and
thank
goodness
for
the
folks
that
do
donate
in
that
little
jar
by
the
cash
register,
because
that's
how
we're
they're
able
to
send
us-
and
actually
they
don't
give
us
cash.
They
send
us
gift
cards
and
we
use
those
gift
cards
to
purchase
food
and
support
families
with
the
other
items
that
they
might
need.
I
I
It's
called
agency
express
one
of
my
intake
people
we
get
on
it
together
and
I
have
to
slow
her
down
because
she
wants
to
order
everything
in
the
world
on
agency
express,
but
we
only
have
so
much
room
but
there'll
be
a
lot
of
free
items
on
there
and
some
very
low
cost
items.
We
found
that
very
helpful
when
feeding
america
was
supporting
three
square,
so
we
can
get
bottled
waters.
We
have
a
whole
room.
I
I
I
We
do
an
audit
every
year
when
it
comes
to
the
larger
funding.
We
actually
do
a
single
audit,
on
top
of
it,
to
make
sure
to
make
clark
county
happy
so
we're
we
try
to
be
very
professional
when
it
comes
to
the
level
of
service
and
the
level
of
bookkeeping
that
we
need
to
do
when
I
present
an
audit
to
someone
when
I'm
looking
for
funding.
I
want
them
to
be
impressed
with
that
audit.
I
I
I
The
different
unions
will
send
us
folks.
I've
got
three
guys
with
pickup
trucks
that
when
I
get
a
large
donation-
and
I
can't
go
pick
it
up-
I
will
call
one
of
them
and
they'll
drive
out
there
and
load
their
pickup
truck
and
and
bring
it
to
us,
and
I
also
have
a
daughter
with
a
pickup
truck
and
she
you
know
she
knows
when
mom
calls
it's
time
to
go,
do
what
she's
asked
to
do
right
so
yeah
we're
very
blessed
to
have
wonderful
volunteers.
No.
A
Thank
you,
mr
truth.
Miss
mujeres,
you
have
a
question.
E
Okay,
I'm
wondering
in
your
marvelous
work
and
thank
you
so
much
for
being
a
kind
spirit
to
so
many
people.
I'm
wondering.
Does
the
ndoc
refer
or
let
former
prisoners
especially
senior
prisoners?
Well,
all
of
them
actually
do.
They
refer
people
to
you
when
they're
getting
out.
I
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
question.
Maggie
carlton
executive
director
of
united
labor
agency,
not
directly,
we've
had
a
couple
of
them,
make
it
to
us,
but
it's
been
through
2-1-1,
so
they'll
reach
out
to
2-1-1
get
a
list
of
the
different
service
providers.
What
their
needs
are
and
then
2-1-1
will
refer
them
to
us.
I
don't
believe
the
state
does
direct
referrals
to
non-profits.
I
think
they
send
them
directly
to
2-1-1,
because
that's
a
clearinghouse
of
all
the
assistance
that
might
be
needed.
E
I
I
would
have
to
check,
but
I
would
be
apprehensive
because
I'm
not
sure
we
could
handle
the
quantity
of
work
that
might
be
knocking
on
the
door.
I
believe
the
2-1-1
system
works
the
best
for
us
because
they
go
through
and
figure
out
exactly
what
that
person
needs
and
they
send
them
there.
A
lot
of
them
could
be
reaching
out
to
us
and
we
may
not
have
anything
for
them.
I
If
they
don't
have
housing
yet
there's
not
much,
we
can
do
for
them
once
they
do
become
housed.
We
can
help
them,
but
if,
in
that
transition
period
were
not
funded
for
any
of
that
type
of
work,
so
I'm
afraid
we
would
get
a
lot
of
calls
and
people
would
get
very
disappointed
that
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
assist
them.
So
I
think
going
through
2-1-1
is
probably
the
the
best
avenue
for
most
of
them,
so
they
get
referred
to
the
correct
agency
to
get
them
the
resources
that
they
need.
E
K
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
wonderful
work
that
you're
doing
in
our
community.
I
wonder
if
you
could
share
with
us
how
you're
building
capacity
or
enhancing
your
branding
throughout
the
community.
I
We've
been
reach
and
thank
you
very
much,
maggie
carlton
executive
director
of
united
labor
agency
and
our
25th
anniversary.
We
did
some
rebranding
and
reaching
out
to
folks
and
as
far
as
enhancing
capacity
people
find
us
folks
that
come
to
the
food
pantry
they
sign
in
outside,
they
press
the
little
button
to
ring
the
doorbell.
So
we
go
out
and
we
greet
them,
we
get
their
paperwork.
I
I
The
word
gets
out
and,
like
I
said,
we're
we're
listed
on
a
lot
of
different
community
service
organizations.
I
So
we've
not
really
had
to
do
a
lot
of
that
that
type
of
outreach
we
participate
in
a
lot
of
the
different
community
forums
and
we're
involved
with
a
lot
of
the
the
clark
county
issues
that
go
on,
but
other
than
that
we
don't.
We
have
not
done
a
lot.
We've
just
been
I'll.
Give
an
example
before
covet
hit.
We
were
maybe
servicing
10
families
a
day
at
the
most
depending
upon.
I
You
know
the
environment
that
that
was
going
on,
but
I
would
say,
10
families
a
day
covet
hit.
I
got
to
the
office
early
one
morning.
The
parking
lot
was
already
full.
This
was
at
7.
Am
we
don't
open
till
8.?
The
parking
lot
was
already
full.
They
were
lined
up
on
the
street
outside
and
there
were
already
50
people
outside
my
door
waiting
to
come
to
the
food
pantry.
I
had
to
call
the
bolden
area
command
and
ask
for
police
assistance
that
calmed
down
after
a
while.
I
Of
course,
people
were
nervous
and
scared,
but
we're
still
serving
close
to
30
to
35
families
a
day
so
triple
what
we
were
doing
before
covet
and
the
need
is
out
there.
People
are
still
struggling
and
if
you
can
feed
your
family,
it's
much
easier
to
sleep
at
night,
even
if
it's
hard
to
pay
those
other
bills.
If
you
know
you
have
food
in
the
refrigerator
and
the
cupboard
for
your
family,
it
takes
a
lot
of
stress
off
the
family
and
allows
them
to
move
forward
and
succeed.
I
So
we've
been
very
lucky
to
be
able
to
keep
the
pantry
functioning
through
all
of
that
with
a
lot
of
wonderful
donations
when
the
strip
shut
down
they
had
to
empty
all
of
those
refrigerators.
Well,
yulan
was
lucky
enough
to
be
one
of
the
ones
that,
when
the
wind
emptied
their
refrigerators,
they
delivered
a
lot
of
food
to
ulan.
K
I'm
asking
the
question,
because
your
statement
was
that
sometimes
you
get
funds
if
they
specifically
list
your
name,
your
organization's
name,
and
I
believe
that
branding
is
a
critical
part
of
making
that
happen.
So
I'm
trying
to
support
the
kinds
of
things
that
you're
doing
and
help
and
I'd
like
that
to
happen.
Thank
you.
A
I
A
I
So
we
we
would
be
in
deep
trouble
if
we
let
that
happen.
So,
but
it's
it's
wonderful,
knowing
that
we
have
folks
in
the
community
that
have
our
back
and
then
we
need
them,
they're
a
phone
call
away
and
they
show
up
because
they
know
what
they
know
by
helping
us
they're
helping
members
of
the
community.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
the
invitation.
A
We
will
move
to
the
next
agenda
item.
L
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
member
of
the
forum
for
the
record.
I
am
michelle
gorlow
representing
assembly,
district
35
in
clark,
county
and
chair
of
the
legislative
committee
on
senior
citizens,
veterans
and
adults
with
special
needs
for
the
2021-22
in
trump.
I
am
pleased
to
join
you
today
to
provide
a
review
of
the
work
of
the
legislative
committee
on
senior
citizens,
veterans
and
adults
of
special
needs
committee,
as
well
as
provide
information
on
the
recommendations
of
the
committee
during
the
past
three
interims.
L
L
L
These
are
simply
a
few
of
the
general
powers
of
the
committee
outlined
in
statute.
In
addition,
each
interim
the
committee
makes
an
effort
to
review
and
address
timely
topics
such
as
the
state
of
care
provided
in
facilities
of
long-term
care
or
the
impact
of
coronary
disease
on
of
2019
on
our
senior
citizens,
veterans
and
adults
with
special
needs
during
the
previous
interim
committee
was
allocated
up
to
10
bill
draft
requests,
also
known
as
bdrs
for
consideration
of
the
legislature
during
the
regular
legislative
session.
L
L
The
goal
of
the
2019-20
interim
would
have
been
to
determine
whether
a
minimum
set
of
competencies
should
be
mandated
in
nevada
to
be
taught,
measured
and
monitored
across
all
programs.
If
the
study
determined
that
minimum
competencies
should
be
mandated,
the
committee
would
determine
which
employees
and
contractors
should
not
be
subject
to
learning
the
competencies.
L
The
bill
gave
recipients
of
cbla
services,
the
same
rights
as
recipients
of
services
from
other
facilities
for
the
dependent
further.
It
maintains
requirements
that
providers,
employees
and
contractors
of
cbla
services
receive
criminal
background
checks
and
prohibits
a
person
from
serving
in
these
capacities
if
convicted
of
certain
crimes.
L
Assembly
bill
131
also
authorized
the
state
fire
marshal
or
designee
to
enter
inspect
facilities
where
cbla
services
are
provided
to
ensure
individuals
seeking
in-home
care
in
nevada.
Have
the
same
protections
ab131
clarified
that
an
employment
agency
that
contracts
to
provide
non-medical
personal
care
services
in
a
client's
home
is
required
to
obtain
a
license
from
the
state
board
of
health,
regardless
of
where
the
employment
agency
is
located
if
the
services
are
provided
in
nevada.
L
The
department
of
health
and
human
services
must
review
and
update
this
information
at
least
quarterly,
finally,
to
determine
appropriate
standards
of
training
for
certain
personnel.
The
measure
required
the
legislative
committee
on
health
care
to
conduct
a
study
regarding
non-medical
personal
care
providers
and
for
the
2019-21
interim
under
chair
spearman.
L
Six
of
these
measures
were
enacted
in
the
statute.
However,
the
measures
concerning
adult
protection
orders
and
removing
occupational
licensing
barriers
were
not
passed
by
the
legislature.
You
may
be
interested
to
know
that
both
of
these
measures
are
being
discussed.
This
interim
by
the
committee,
as
well
as
other
interim
committees,
the
recommendations
from
the
2021-22
interim.
L
The
final
meeting
and
work
session
is
scheduled
for
tuesday
august
16th.
Our
agenda
and
work
session
documents
are
available
on
the
committee's
meeting
page.
At
this
meeting,
the
committee
will
act
on
issues
concerning
programs
to
assist
seniors
with
dementia
and
their
caregivers
services
for
veterans
and
military
spouses,
proposals
to
assist
vulnerable
adults,
eviction,
protections
pertaining
to
residential
facilities
for
certain
groups,
proposals
to
update
guardianship,
laws,
telehealth
services
and
applicants
and
homelessness.
L
A
thank
you.
Madam
president.
The
measures
recommended
during
the
last
three
interim
represent
considerable
work
by
the
committee
and
the
legislature
as
a
whole.
The
topics
and
concerns
important
to
seniors
veterans
and
adults
with
special
needs
are
important
to
all
of
us
and
we
look
forward
to
continuing
the
work
of
the
committee
for
many
interns
to
come.
I'm
happy
to
address
any
questions
you
may
have.
A
E
L
To
you,
through
president
alvarez,
I
don't
have
any
stats
on
that
information
and-
and
I
apologize-
I
really
don't-
have
much
information
in
general
on
that
bill
in
front
of
me.
But
I
can
look
that
up
and
get
you
information
right
away.
A
Thank
you,
mr
harris.
Miss
levin
go
ahead.
M
D
Thank
you
for
your
presentation.
I
had
trouble
hearing
some
of
it
and
I
know
that
you
explained
what
I
think
is
cbla
is
so.
Can
you
tell
me
what
that
stands
for
again.
G
Assemblywoman,
thank
you
very
much
for
your
briefing,
roger
trotham
district
18.,
two
questions.
First,
when
you've
gone
through
this
and
then
again
as
a
legislator,
and
when
session
happens
have
they
have
you
folks
and
your
groups
looked
at
the
cost
impacts
of
some
of
these
requirements
for
healthcare
workers
and
different
things
and
then
follow
that
up
with
do
you
have
any
idea
how
many
of
these
programs
are,
I'm
assuming
most
of
them
are
either
medicare
funded,
state
funded
or
county
and
city
funded,
are
most
of
them
funded
through
public
means.
G
L
Thank
you
for
the
question
to
you
through
president
alvarez.
We
always
ask
our
fiscal
department
to
check
on
what
the
cost
will
be
and
who
will
be
under.
Many
of
these
cases
have
matching
funds
through
the
federal
government,
so
the
state
pays
for
one
dollar
depending
on
the
program.
We
might
have
a
two
to
one
match
or
a
three
to
one
match.
I
believe
there's
even
some
that
have
five
to
one
matches,
and
so
we
always
check
to
see
what
funding
we
have
available
before
implementing
anything.
N
N
N
N
N
After
I
present
the
first
two
recommendations
form
president
almarez
will
give
you
time
for
discussion
and
then
ask
for
a
raise
of
hands
to
show
your
preference
for
either
recommendation
a
or
recommendation
b
once
determined,
which
recommendation
has
the
greater
show
of
hands.
President
almiraz
may
then
ask
for
a
motion
for
the
recommendation
that
is
not
selected
as
the
bdr.
The
forum
can
instead
send
a
letter
of
recommendation
or
support,
include
a
position
statement
in
the
final
forum
report
or
refrain
from
action.
N
This
recommendation
was
made
by
foreign
president
fran
almarez
and
marie
coe.
The
interim
state
long-term
care
ombudsman
with
agent
and
disability
services
division
as
well
as
forum
members,
ms
laura
leavitt,
miss
peggy
leva
and
mr
roger
troth.
After
a
presentation
by
ms
code
to
the
forum
made
on
june
22
2022,
we
have
ms
marie
coe
attending
in
person.
She
is
available
for
questions,
she
is
in
the
carson
city
building
and
we
also
have
sherry
rasmussen
with
the
division
of
welfare
and
supportive
services
participating
on
zoom.
H
President
elmers
for
the
record,
patrick
ashton,
I
just
wanted
to
ask
if
you
also
want
miss
kalina
to
go
over
the
other
recommendation,
a
number
item
b
in
the
work
session
document.
So
you
could
discuss
then
both
of
them.
N
This
recommendation
was
made
by
foreign
president
fran
alvarez
and
forum
member
lisa
laughlin
in
response
to
testimony
from
mark
kruger,
with
the
bureau
of
consumer
protection
and
nevada's
office
of
attorney
general
at
the
forum
meeting
on
july
2014
2022,
mr
krueger
is
also
available
on
zoom
to
answer
any
questions
that
the
forum
members
may
have.
Thank
you,
president.
Amrez.
A
For
members,
I
will
open
more
discussion.
A
personal
needs
allowance
before
we
actually
get
to
making
any
motions.
There
is
in
your
packet
a
lot
of
information
concerning.
A
Marie
cole,
the
or
the
ombudsman
did
a
study
which
is
very
informative.
If
everyone
has
had
a
chance
to
look
at
that.
A
A
One
thing
that
I
found
very
informative
about
that
is
some
of
these
people
did
not
even
know
that
they
were
allowed
35.
A
Another
thing
that
I
found
very
disturbing
is
that
group
home
people
get
137
people
in
managed
care
facilities.
The
larger
facilities
only
get
the
35,
so
there's
also
a
sheet
that
tells
you
how
much
the
federal
payment
is,
the
state
payment
and
how
much
the
operator
actually
gets.
So
I'd
like
to
open
that
for
discussion.
F
G
Madam
chairman,
I
want
to
thank
patrick
for
putting
together
one
of
the
responses,
and
I
guess
you
know
we
talked
about
what
that
rate
was,
and
it
looks
like
even
both
groups
are
still
eligible
to
get
like
over
a
hundred
dollars.
G
Now,
whether
that's
being
utilized,
which
was
meant
drawn
out
in
the
survey
is,
is
one
issue
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
people
just
don't
know
that's
available,
and
so
again
there
are
different
formulas
there
that
I
wasn't
totally
aware
of
and
started
talking
about
this,
so
whether
we
continue
to
campaign
for
that
as
a
change,
I'm
good
with
that,
but
it
looked
like
there
was
a
little
bit
more
money
available
than
maybe
what
I
was
led
to
believe
in
some
of
the
presentations.
G
J
Adam
I
support
a,
I
think,
with
the
cost
of
living
and
the
way
it
is
thirty
five
dollars
is
basically
is
nothing
compared
to
the
personal
needs
and
things
of
that
nature.
I
noticed
on
the
survey
saying
they
could
use
the
money
for
shoes.
We
all
know.
35
is
not
going
to
get
you
a
pair
of
shoes,
so
I
support
a
and
I
think
it's
important
that
we
address
the
personal
needs
of
the
constituents
in
the
skilled
nursing
facility.
H
Yes,
I
I
also
support
a,
but
I
actually
did
not
realize
that
I
shouldn't
I
had
another
choice,
I'll
just
briefly
mention
that
we've
had
some
excellent
forums
on
climate
change
and
it's
on
excessive
impact
on
senior
citizens,
and
I
think
every
all
of
us
here
will
agree
that
climate
change
is
a
huge
issue
and
it's
also
a
bigger
issue
for
seniors.
So
I
wish
we
could
done
something
about
that,
but
as
far
as
proposal
a
I
think,
personal
needs
is
really
important.
H
It
gives
seniors
a
sense
of
dignity,
dignity
and
to
do
certain
things
that
they
might
not
have
been
able
to
do.
Just
the
simple
act
is
just
being
able
to
have
toothpaste
to
brush
your
teeth
is
certainly
worthwhile.
As
far
as
the
option
be.
I
think
it
is
important
to
stop
scams
and
frauds,
but
I'm
not
really
sure
that
just
increasing
the
penalties
and
so
forth
is
going
to
really
stop
scams
and
fraud.
So
I
think
we
need
other
other
more
enforcement
of
it,
but
I
I
saw
from
a
support
option
a
thank
you.
K
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
also
support
option
a.
I
think
this
is
something
that
can
provide
some
kind
of
immediate
relief
for
seniors
if
it
gets
passage-
and
I
think
these
other
this
other
option
and
some
of
the
letters
for
of
statements
are
worthy
and
deserve
our
support
as
well,
but
they
are
things
that
maybe
will
be
addressed
in
other
bill
drafts
and
are
things
that
I
think
would
take
more
time
to
accomplish.
M
Thank
you,
my
only
I
guess
question
would
would
be.
M
Would
be,
is
somebody
here
to
talk
about
the
second
item
that
we
were
proposing
for
consideration,
because
it
sounds
like
we're
voting
on
this
without
hearing
both
options.
A
G
Madam
chair,
so
on
on
the
a
issue
here
then
our
bdr
doesn't
necessarily
have
to
have.
We
just
submit
the
proposal
for
legislation
and,
however,
that
is
done,
is
up
to
the
legislature,
I.e
funding
how
the
rules
need
to
be
changed
in
order
to
raise
that
minimum
wage.
Is
that
correct,
or
that
minimum
amount
we're
not
going
to
provide
any
additional
information
on
what
we
think
could
be
done
to
do
that.
A
M
Do
we
know
that,
when,
if
we
put
this
bill
forward,
where
the
funding
would
come
from,
I'm
assuming
this
would
be
additional
funding,
or
is
it
going
to
be
reduced
funding
to
the
facilities
that
are
getting
the
money
to
care
for
the
patients
who
are
unable
to
are
using
state
or
federal
funds
to
pay
pay
for
their
care?.
C
K
First,
we
we
use
gross
income
and
then
we
immediately
take
away
the
right
now.
35
personal
needs
allowance
and
there
are
certain
other
things
that
we
can
take
away,
such
as,
if
they're,
making
a
a
payment
for
prior
medical
bills
or
if
they
are
paying
a
spouse,
if
they're
giving
a
spouse
the
spousal
allowance
and
then
what
is
left
after
that
is
called
patient
liability
or
the
individual's
share
of
cost,
which
is
what
they
pay
to
the
facility
and
then
medicaid
pays
the
rest.
K
What
the
potential
cost
would
be
whether
and
we
only
looked
at
it
for
five
dollars
a
month,
ten
dollars
a
month,
fifteen
dollars
a
month
or
twenty
dollars
a
month,
and
so
at
twenty
dollars
a
month
when
the
research
was
done
was
going
to
be
less
than
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year,
and
so
that
would
have
been
the
added
cost
to
medicaid
to
pay
for
the
facilities.
J
I
have
a
question:
is
it
any
consideration
given
to
the
increased
cost
of
living
and
even
though
medicaid
is
one
of
the
primary
payers,
usually
according
to
like
a
bill?
I
have
here
medicaid
I
actually
put
a
lien
on
people's
home
and
the
money
is
retrieved
at
the
end
per
se.
So
is
there
any
consideration
given
at
all
to
the
cost
of
living,
and
how
often
is
that
reviewed
and
does
medicare
get
medicaid?
I'm
sorry
get
their
money
back.
K
K
J
I'm
sorry
I
didn't
get
the
I
didn't
hear
the
answer.
How
often
is
that
reviewed
and
compared
to
the
cost
of
living.
A
Thank
you.
I
I
have
a
question:
what
is
the
difference
or
how
is
funding
different
between
a
person
on
medicaid
in
a
nursing
facility
resident
and
a
medicaid
waiver
client
in
a
group
home
is
medicaid
different.
C
C
C
However,
some
of
the
needs
can
be
the
same
because
we
have
programs
for
residential
facilities
for
groups
that
only
offer
services
for
residents
who
are
60
years
of
age
and
older.
So
somebody
who
might
be
in
their
50s
and
needing
care
would
need
to
go
to
a
skilled
nursing
facility
to
receive
the
same
care
that
they
could
receive
at
a
lower
level
of
care.
But
they
didn't
have
the
supports.
A
C
The
process
of
reviewing
the
personal
needs
allowance
in
both
settings
is
different,
and
that
is
my
reason
to
bring
this
issue
to
the
forum
in
the
lower
level
of
care.
Their
federal
benefit
rate
is
reviewed
annually
and
the
personal
needs
allowance
or
their
spending
money
is
increased
based
on
that
federal
benefit
rate
annually,
and
currently
it's
at
137
dollars.
A
Let
me
understand
the
federal
money
to
a
group
home
is
increased,
then
it
is
to
a
nursing
facility.
C
So
the
resident
can
receive
the
same
amount
of
money
in
both
settings
for
social
security,
but
the
amount
that
they
go,
that
they
can
keep
is
different
in
the
skilled
nursing
facility.
The
social
security
or
disability
income
may
increase,
but
that
increase
is
going
to
the
provider
not
to
the
resident
and
in
a
lower
level
of
care.
The
increase,
the
social
security
or
disability
would
also
increase,
and
their
personal
needs
allowance
would
increase
as
well
due
to
the
process
of
review.
M
So
what
you're
saying
is
that
the
the
federal
benefit
is
reviewed
and
changed
every
year,
but
in
a
home
care
or
home
setting
that
money
goes
directly.
Any
increase
goes
directly
to
the
patient
and
not
to
the
facility
that
the
patient
is
in,
but
if
they
are
in
a
skilled
nursing
facility,
it
is
going
to
the
facility
and
not
the
patient.
That's
what
I
I
think
I
heard,
and
I
guess
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
why
that
would
be.
C
There's
no
percentage
that
they're
getting
it's
a
flat
rate,
and
so
some
of
the
information
that
I've
provided
to
the
forum
is
reviewing
the
lower
level
of
care
and
how
that
is
currently
in
place,
and
it
is
a
percentage.
That's
increased
compared
to
a
flat
rate
in
skilled
nursing
facilities.
That
is
not
able
to
be
increased
and
there's
been
no
review
of
it.
So
if
it,
if
the
process
mirrored
the
skilled,
nursing
or
the
sorry
the
group
home
process,
then
it
could
be
reviewed
annually.
M
So,
thank
you
for
that
explanation.
So,
if
it,
if
we
were
to
mirror
that
that
language
or
that
process
do
we
know
what
that
would
look
like
economically
for
the
state,
I
know
there
was
an
earlier
reference
to
twenty
dollars.
Additional
would
be
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year.
I
think,
do
we
have
a
number
on
what
it
would
look
like
if
we
went
with
a
percentage.
C
N
President
elmarez,
this
is
ashley
kalina
lcb
for
the
record
to
resp
to
you
or
through
you
to
lisa
laughlin.
I
just
wanted
to
also
remind
you
that
the
potential
fiscal
impacts
for
this
have
not
been
evaluated
would
still
need
to
be
done
by
our
fiscal
division
here
at
lcb.
A
Thank
you
for
that.
Any
other
questions
comments
on
item
a
mr
troth.
G
Thanks
for
the
information
like
like
we
said,
or
I
mentioned
before
earlier,
the
this
could
be
a
pretty
good
chunk
of
money
and
then
again
who's
going
to
pay
for
it.
How
it's
going
to
be
done,
and
obviously
we're
not
going
to
solve
that
issue.
It's
just
that
when
you
start
talking,
you
know
the.
If
we
tie
this
to
an
a
you
know,
maybe
it
just
needs
to
be
annually
reviewed,
but
it
doesn't
matter
if
you,
however,
we
increase
it.
G
Somebody's
gonna
have
to
pay
for
it,
and
I
guess
you
know
that's
in
my
opinion.
The
bottom
line
don't
have
a
problem
with
trying
to
do
that,
but
the
legislature
is
going
to
have
to
figure
out
somebody.
You
know
every
time
we
do
something
like
this,
because
most
all
of
these
programs
are,
you
know,
state
paid
for
through
taxes
of
some
kind
and
or
grants
that
are
given
from
the
federal
government,
which
again
is
paid
for
by
taxpayers.
G
A
Fairly
accurate,
we
would
present,
you
know
the
bdr
lcb
would
do
the
language
and
because
it
will
have
a
fiscal
on
it.
Depending
on
whether
it
starts
on
the
assembly
or
the
senate
side,
it
will
go
to
ways
and
means
or
finance,
and
they
will
try
to
find
the
money
before
it.
Actually,
you
know
would
ever
come
up
for
a
vote.
J
J
K
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
president.
I
think
this
is
an
issue
of
equity
and
I
think
that's
what
we're
looking
at.
So
we
want
to
possibly
get
this
equity
through
an
annual
review,
and
that
is
part
of
what
we
would
be
seeking
an
annual
review
so
that
we
can
see
some
benefit
after
30
years.
Thank
you.
A
E
C
M
Well,
now
I'm
trying
to
decide
if
I
want
to
talk
about
a
or
b.
I
guess
my
follow-up
comment
on
the
last
request
is
that
I
think
we
also
have
to
remember
that
a
lot
of
the
presentations
we
heard
this
year
were
about
the
underfunding
and
underpayment
of
facilities
and
as
well
as
the
people
who
work
in
them.
So
I
think
just
taking
the
money
away
from
the
facility
might
be
a
bit
of
a
challenge
and
maybe
not
not
prudent,
if
they're
already
not
able
to
provide
the
care
with
the
money
they
have.
M
A
J
Okay,
according
to
the
fcc,
there
are
many
mechanisms
that
are
already
in
place
for
fraud
against
seniors
and
scams
and
things
of
that
nature.
The
problem
is,
is
so
many
pop
up
once
they
discover
one
another,
four
or
five
pop
up
per
se,
and
some
of
these
are
not
say
within
the
united
states.
Some
of
these
are
in
foreign
countries,
so
it's
very
difficult
to
enforce
it.
J
A
If
we
do
decide
our
bdr
is,
I
item
a.
I
would
definitely
like
to
follow
what
miss
laughlin
had
recommended.
F
D
Madam
chair,
I
concur.
I
I
don't
know
this,
but
I
assume
that
because
scamming
is
so
prevalent,
it's
certainly
the
seniors.
We
know
that,
but
throughout
all
populations,
as
I
I
think
I
said
earlier,
I
wonder
if
the
scamming
might
be
addressed
in
another
bill
draft
some
way,
but
I
certainly
think
it's
worthy
of
a
letter
of
support
because
it's
just
epidemic,
but
certainly
it's
an
issue
with
seniors,
but
I
I
mean
there's
a
chance
that
it
will
be
addressed
somewhere
else.
A
Thank
you.
Miss
levitt,
miss
maharas.
E
Yes,
I
agree
with
miss
levin.
I
don't
think
this
should
be
a
bill
draft,
because
there
are
so
many
other
people
working
on
all
of
this.
The
scamming-
and
it
is
terrible-
and
I
think
also-
I
know
that
mass
incarceration
is
a
failed
social
experiment
and
increasing
more
people
in
ndoc,
and
there
would
be
tons
more
people,
no
doubt
and
also
there's
the
issue
of
how
we
can
possibly
stop
these
foreign
countries
from
coming
in.
E
A
E
H
Yes,
I
would
agree
with
one
of
the
last
comments,
though,
is
that
it
would
be
nice
to
be
able
to
find
out
the
the
most
effective
way
to
stop
scamming,
and
so
I
think
a
lot
of
support
would
be
good,
but
I'm
not
sure
if
we
had
any
speakers
that
really
talked
about
the
most
effective
ways
to
stop
scamming.
G
Mark
kruger
for
the
record,
the
chief
deputy
attorney
general
bureau
of
consumer
protection,
nevada
attorney
general's
office.
I've
heard
it
several
times
and
doctor
one.
You
are
correct
that
the
most
effective
way
to
stopping
scams
and
people
becoming
victims
of
scams
is
to
provide
consumer
education.
G
That's
one
of
our
outreach
programs
that
we
do
at
the
bureau
of
consumer
protection,
and
I
think
that
you
know
some
of
the
ideas
that
had
been
considered
by
this
committee
is
to
consider
supporting
some
sort
of
outreach
mechanism,
maybe
perhaps
modeled
after
the
technological
crimes
board
under
chapter
205a.
M
Just
to
follow
a
question
to
the
district
attorney's
response,
so
what
you
were
the
agency
or
the
committee
or
whatever
it
was
that
you
just
referred
to,
is
that
something
that's
already
underway,
or
is
that
a
committee
that
we
would
need
to
develop?
I
guess
I'm
a
little
unclear
because
I'm
hoping
that
if
we
write
a
letter,
a
recommendation
that
we
can
put
some
specific
suggestions
in
there.
I
I
am
a.
I
do-
have
a
thing
about
the
social
security
numbers,
the
collection
of
that.
But
what
you
were
just.
G
Sure
mark
kruger
for
the
record,
with
the
nevada
attorney
general's
office,
so
in
in
the
vein
of
trying
to
increase
consumer
awareness
of
scams
and
newly
emergent
scams
that
are
developing
constantly
every
day.
One
of
the
things
that
could
be
done
is
to
develop
a
committee
and
it
would
be
a
new
committee,
something
perhaps
modeled
after
an
existing
committee.
G
That's
out
there
to
get
different
groups
together
to
provide
best
practices
on
how
to
target
certain
populations,
who
are
maybe
subject
to
an
emergent
scam
and
do
it
in
more
real
time
so
that
it's
quicker
and
doesn't
have
the
delay,
which
then
becomes
more
effective,
because
people
are
then
educated
about
that
particular
scam.
Does
that
make
sense.
F
I
sense
a
trend,
therefore,
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
that
we
endorse
alternative
a
for
a
bill
draft.
F
M
My
question
would
be,
I
don't
know,
I
think,
as
I
was
talking.
Maybe
somebody
already
seconded
that
motion.
So
maybe
this
may
be
an
irrelevant
question.
What
I
was
going
to
say
is:
could
we
amend
the
motion
to
say
support
a
with
a
letter,
a
letter
supporting
the
items
in
b,
so
the
bdr
draft
is
one
thing,
but
that
we
definitely
have
the
follow-up
on
item
b.
A
Thank
you,
miss
laughlin.
We
we
are
going
to
do
them
separate.
The
motion
on
the
floor
is
to
have
item
a
to
be
our
bdr.
A
A
Oh,
it's
after
the
motion,
you
do
the
discussion,
yeah.
Okay,
sorry,
it's
open!
Anyone
have
a
discussion
on
the
motion.
H
Oh
no,
I
I
wasn't
I
I
agree
with
motion.
I
seconded
it
vote
for
it.
I
was
wondering
if
I
could
write
a
separate
letter
saying
that
it's
also
important
to
consider
issues
with
climate
change,
then
specifically
how
it
had
more
adversely
affects
seniors.
M
Just
a
point
of
clarification
for
a
newbie,
so
when
we
put
the
bdr
forward,
are
we
actually
putting
together?
Are
we
making
a
recommendation
of
specific
language
or
does
that
come
next
or
do
we
just
give
the
lcb
a
general
build
direction?
I
guess
I'm
a
little
confused
because
that
would
drive
discussion
if
we
have
to
drive
down
to.
Is
it
a
percentage
or
is
it
a
fixed
amount
or
is
it?
H
What
will
happen
next
is
that
the
legal
division
of
the
legislative
council
borough
will
go
ahead
and
draft
the
actual
actual
bill,
and
this
will
be
introduced
at
a
later
point
in
time
for
consideration
than
by
the
legislature.
So
this
is
how
the
process
is
in
addition
to
it,
because
it
may
require
appropriations
through
budget
committees.
H
There
will
most
likely
be
a
fiscal
note
that
will
come
from
nevada,
medicaid
and
be
attached
to
the
bill
once
it's
introduced,
and
then
the
money
committees
will
address
it
after
the
policy
committees.
In
this
case
policy
committees
could
be,
for
instance,
in
this
case
the
senate
or
assembly
health
and
human
services,
and
then
it
will
generally
be
referred.
If
it
passes
this
committee,
it
will
be
addressed
by
one
of
the
money
committees,
the
senate,
finance
or
assembly
ways
and
means,
as
president
former
president
al-maraz
explained
earlier.
M
N
For
the
record,
ashley
kalina
research,
division,
lcb
president
alvarez
to
you
or
sorry
through
you,
too
lisa
laughlin.
Yes,
this
this
is
still
not
a
finalized
version.
Legal
will
be
doing
more
work
on
that
and
refining
that
and
the
additional
detail
and
like
we
said
there
will
have
to
be
like
some
fiscal
evaluation
on
that,
and
so
this
is
not
the
final.
You
know
what
will
be
voted
on
by
the
you
know:
committees
during
the
legislature,
so.
E
B
I
I
can
answer
that
this
is
a
brian
fernley
committee,
legal
counsel.
We
will
the
the
legal
division
will
draft
the
bill
based
on
the
concept
that's
being
approved
by
the
forum
today.
What
we,
what
we
do
is
we
will
send
the
draft
of
the
bill
to
the
forum
president
for
her
review.
B
If
the
way
for
the
the
entire
forum
to
comment
on
it
would
have
to
be
through
a
meeting
of
the
forum,
but
the
bill
will
be
sent
to
the
president
for
for
her
review
and
for
her
approval.
I
suppose
it
would
be
up
to
the
president
and
the
forum
whether
to
conduct
a
full
open
meeting
to
have
an
examination
of
the
bill.
The
deadline
to
have
the
bill
completed
the
this.
B
A
I'm
calling
for
the
vote,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye.
G
B
A
A
Mr
marchant
made
the
motion
and
I'm
not
sure
who
seconded
miss
laughlin.
Second,
it
I
open
it
up
for
any
questions
on
the
motion.
A
E
Yes,
I
think
I
am
on
the
audio.
I
find
that
confusing.
I
think
we
are
supposed
to
just
submit
a
bdr
and
therefore
I
I
think
that
a
letter
individually
might
be
okay,
but
I
think
it's
confusing,
since
we
only
get
the
pdr
to
add
a
letter
to
anybody,
the
governor
or
anybody.
So
I'm
not
happy
with
that,
and
I
guess
I
oppose
it.
I
do
oppose
it.
N
President
amarez,
through
you
to
ms
maharis,
the
committee
or
the
forum,
has
the
option
in
addition
to
the
one
bdr,
the
forum
can
also
submit
letters
of
recommendation
or
support,
as
well
as
have
statements
of
support
or
position
statements
in
the
final
forum
report,
just
so
that
you're
aware
that
is
an
option
for
the
forum.
Thank
you.
F
This
idea
was
discussed
a
lot
prior
to
this
moment.
I
recall
the
previous
question.
H
Yes,
for
the
record,
dr
aston
won
the
senate
district
nine,
I
think
yeah
as
as
I've
mentioned,
and
we've
had
some
excellent
discussions
on
on
the
forest
fires,
droughts,
so
forth,
and
the
climate
change.
These
are
all
related
and
how
more
adversely
affects
seniors.
H
So
I'd
like
to
write,
write
a
letter
which
I
will
address
to
president
of
amarez
and
to
and
to
the
the
committee
just
to
state
that
we
we
want
the
legislators
still
to
work
on
on
climate
change
and
be
in
support
of
doing
things
to
lessen
the
adverse
effects
of
climate
change.
So
I'd
be
happy
to
write
such
a
letter
and
I'll,
submit
it
to
dr
out
to
fran,
atkins
president
alvarez
and
and
to
our
firm
for
corrections
and
approval.
A
J
A
A
Forum
members,
we
are
going
to
take
a
10
minute
break
before
we
start
with
our
the
rest
of
our
recommendations.
There
are
snacks
at
the
end
of
the
dice
here.
If
anybody
would
like
one
10
minute
break,
please
be
back
by
10
after
12..
Thank
you.
A
A
N
The
letter
should
encourage
them
to
include,
in
their
respective
emergency
preparedness
plans
a
special
focus
on
senior
citizens
to
prepare
for
and
assist
in,
climate
change,
related
emergencies,
including
without
limitation,
excessive
heat
floods,
low
air
quality
due
to
wildfires,
for
example,
and
other
extreme
weather
events.
Additionally,
the
letter
should
express
support
of
efforts
to
reduce
more
motor
vehicle
emissions
and
increase
canopy
tree
canopy
coverage
in
urban
areas
to
combat
ground
level,
air
pollution
and
heat
island
effect
in
the
larger
metropolitan
areas
of
nevada.
N
This
recommendation
was
made
by
former
president
fran
almiraz
and
forum
member
dr
austin
wand,
based
on
testimony
provided
by
washoe
county
health
district
on
may
twelfth
twenty
twenty
two.
We
have
brandon
for
sorry
brendan
snyder
of
the
air
quality
management
division
of
washoe
county
health
district
available
on
zoom.
If
any
forum
members
have
questions,
thank
you.
B
A
J
H
So
I
was
just
curious
with
the
the
devastating
effect
of
the
wildfires
and
how
many
people
were
not
able
to
escape
actually
escape
the
fires.
I
was
wondering
if
there
were
any
nursing
homes
that
were
endangered
by
the
wild
first
name
and
weren't
able
to
escape,
because
the
lack
of
mobility
of
the
senior
citizens.
F
In
the
paradise
fire
in
northern
california,
the
entire
town,
including
a
senior
living
facility,
was
wiped
out,
burned
clear
to
the
ground.
There
have
been
other
evacuations,
in
particular
the
california
fires
that
have
included
moving
seniors
out
of
various
residences
into
safe
ground
at
various
times
during
the
disaster.
N
This
recommendation
was
proposed
by
kayla
samuels
of
the
division
of
public
and
behavioral
health.
During
a
presentation
to
the
forum
on
june
22
2022,
miss
samuels
and
ms
cody
finney,
deputy
administrator
of
division
of
public
health,
public
and
behavioral
health
are
participating
on
zoom
and
available
for
any
questions
from
the
forum.
Thank
you.
M
B
Yes,
please
go
ahead
through
you
to
ms
laughlin,
the
committee,
the
home
care
standards
advisory
board
has
provided,
has,
does
have
some
information
that's
been
collected.
We
have
received
reports
from
both
workers
and
employers
in
this
industry.
Some
of
those
folks
are
making
minimum
wage.
What
is
the
the
current
official
minimum
wage
in
nevada
and
some
are
being
paid
somewhat
more
than
that
based
on
demand,
but
we
can
certainly
provide
to
the
committee
again
the
documents
and
information
that
we've
collected
on
this
matter.
B
I
will
specify
for
the
committee
that
the
25
dollar
would
be
the
rate
that
medicaid
pays
the
agency
and
if
our
recommendations
are
put
into
effect
and
then
the
15
would
be
the
minimum
wage
that
the
agency
could
pay
the
actual
home
care
worker.
Just
for
total
clarification
does
that
help
with
the
question.
M
I
I
guess
it
doesn't
really
give
me
what
the
average
is
that
they're
making
and
my
concern
is
always
establishing
a
pay
scale
ourselves,
as
opposed
to,
I
guess,
setting
guidelines.
M
B
Cody
finney
for
the
record.
I
might
share
that.
The
committee
did
also
express
some
of
those
some
of
those
concerns.
We
do
have
an
average
in
the
information
that
we
collected
and
I
will
absolutely
have
that
sent
to
you.
But
I,
with
the
caveat
that
the
information
we
collected
is
self-report,
so
we
don't
have
a
solid
average
that
is
independently
verified
by
another
agency.
G
Roger
trot
district
18..
Let
me
ask
the
question,
though
you
just
you
said
this
was
medicaid
or
government
funded
operations
to
have
these
rates
in
the
private
sector.
If
you
were
a
non-receiving,
some
kind
of
you
know:
government
aid
those
rates
would
be
whatever
the
market
bears
for
private
facilities.
A
A
N
The
forum
also
supports
efforts
to
have
the
nevada
care
connection
established
in
statute,
enabling
the
recruitment
of
aging
and
disability
regional
coordinators
to
increase
outreach
and
public
awareness
of
the
nevada
care
connection.
This
recommendation
was
provo,
sorry
proposed
by
cheyenne
pasquale
planning
chief
of
adsd
during
a
presentation
to
the
forum
on
july
14

N
A
A
F
Before
we
adjourn
I'd
like
to
give
my
personal
salute
to
patrick
ashton
and
ashley
kalina
for
their
incredible
tolerance
at
putting
up
with
our
inefficiencies
idiosyncrasies
and
time-wasting
behavior,
their
contribution
to
our
success
throughout
all
these
meetings
is
much
appreciated.
I'd
also
like
to
salute
those
in
other
locales
who
gave
testimony
on
various
of
the
items
that
were
presented
to
us.
You
all
give
a
good
meaning
to
the
notion
of
bureaucracy.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
A
I
would
like
to
thank
all
the
members
of
the
forum
for
your
dedication,
your
participation.
Your
comments
has
led
us
to
a
very
successful
forum.
A
I
would
also
like
to
thank
all
of
the
staff
who
have,
as
mr
marchant
said,
kept
us
in
line
given
us
the
information
that
we
needed
to
be
successful
and
as
this
is
our
last
meeting
until
after
the
legislature
meets
in
2023,
I
would
like
to
wish
all
of
you
a
successful
and
happy
time
until
we
meet
again.
