more
emphasis
in
toddlers
in
nevada
will
be
afforded
access
to
early
learning
experiences
that
they
so
desperately
need
and
deserve.
F
Furthermore,
child
care
extension
increases
the
sustainability
of
our
already
strained
providers.
We
need
child
care
providers
to
continue
to
keep
their
doors
open
to

and
workforce
under

F
This
will
allow
which
participants
to
access
nutritious
foods
for
pregnant
women,
infants
and
children,
and
then
this
online
ordering
system
is
best
known
for
its
convenience
time.

deficients.
E
A
Thank

I
appreciate
that
we
can
move
on
then
to
our
next
agenda
item,
which
is
agenda
item
c,
and
that
is
the
approval
of
the
minutes
and
of
the
october
21
2021
meeting
those
those
minutes
were
shared
with
all
the

and
do
any

the
members
have
any
suggested
edits
or
comments
on
those
minutes.
A
All

thank

Any
opposed
none
motion
passes.
Thank
you
very
much
and
we
can
go
to
our
next
agenda
item,
which
is
agenda.
Item
d.
It's
a
statement
of
the
american
rescue
plan,
act,
chronovirus,
state
fiscal
recovery
fund
obligations
and
remaining
reserve
balances
within
the
cova
19
relief,
program's
budget
account-
and
this
morning
we
have
mr
lizer
to
walk
the
committee
through
the
coronavirus
fund
or
fun
statement.
Excuse
me
go
ahead.
Mr
lizer.
J
J
And
I'm
presenting
agenda
item
d,
which
is
a
statement
of
american
rescue
plan
at
corona
virus
state
fiscal
recovery
fund
obligations
and
remaining
reserve
balances.
As
the
chair
just
indicated,
the
statement
can
be
found
in
the
meeting
packet
beginning
on
page
99..
J
J
J
There
are
26
total
items
on
the
agenda
relating
to
this
funding,
including
12
work
programs
to
facilitate
seven
requests
to
allocate
funds
under
the
nonprofit
community
recovery
grant
program.
Two
companion
work
programs
for
a
request
to
increase
child
care
facility
capacity
through
competitive
grants.
J
In
other
words,
the
agency
is
not
required
to
receive
approval
from
the
ifc
for
work
program
revisions,
while
the
request
was
withdrawn.
I
would
note
that
the
250
thousand
dollars
in
coronavirus
state
fiscal
recovery
funds
for
the
tahoe
regional
planning
agency
to
digitize
its
records
has
been
approved
by
the
governor's
office
and
is
reflected
on
the
breakdown
statement
under
the
section
from
the
100
million
dollars
set
aside
for
state
agencies
which
I'll
discuss
now
on
pages
104
through
106.
There's
the
breakdown
statement
for
select
obligations
of
the
coronavirus
state
fiscal
recovery
funds.
J
Offset
thirteen
thousand
four
hundred
and
forty
dollars
for
the
department
of
administration,
mail
services,
division
for
an
equipment
purchase.
This
revision
did
not
meet
the
threshold
levels
requiring
ifc
approval,
and
the
fourth
item
is
thirteen
million
two
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
dollars
for
the
administrative
office
of
the
courts
to
fund
a
statewide
e-filing
solution.
J
so
similar
to
the
work
program
that
I
discussed
about
the
tahoe
regional
planning
agency.
This
particular
request
did
not
require
approval
of
the
ifc,
as
displayed
on
page
106,
considering
allocations
previously
approved
by
the
ifc
and
approved
by
the
governor's
office,
and
if
all
10
requests
for
allocations
are
approved
today
by
the
committee,
there
would
be
approximately
75.2
million
dollars
in
remaining
authority
to
obligate
under
the
100
million
dollars
that
the
committee
approved
for
allocations
to
state
agencies
and
chair
brooks.
That
concludes
my
remarks
on
this
agenda
item.
A
A
Our
next
agenda
item
is
the
approval
of
work
program.
Revisions
for
the
expenditure
of
american
rescue
plan
act,
coronavirus,
state,
fiscal
recovery
funds,
that's
item
e,
and
then
we
also
the
item
after
that.
F
is
the
approval
of
gifts,
grants,
work,
program,
revisions
and
position,
changes
not
involving
the
expenditure
of
american
rescue
plan
act,
coronavirus,
state
fiscal
recovery
funds,
so
we
have
the
two
agenda
items:
one
is
our
funds
and
the
one
the
other
is
not
so.
G
G
And
then
the
last
thing
I'd
note
on
list
e
on
the
last
page
page
five
and
mr
leicester
mentioned
this
too,
and
it
is
reflected
on
the
agenda
item
e26
from
the
tahoe
regional
planning
agency
has
been
withdrawn
and
those
are
all
the
items
on
list
e
that
have
been
identified
to
be
pulled
for
discussion,
I'll
move
on
now
to
list
f,
beginning
on
page
two
of
list
f
and
then
going
on
to
page
three
items
e.
G
I'm
sorry
we're
on
f
note
items
f,
8
through
f
18
or
I'm
sorry
through
f,
16,
all
from
the
department
of
corrections,
so
f
8
through
f
16,
then
on
page
4
of
list,
f
agenda,
item
f,
18,
also
from
the
department
of
corrections
so
just
again:
f8
through
f16,
plus
f18,
all
from
the
department
of
corrections
and
all
those
work
program,
revision
requests
will
be
heard
jointly
and
that
is
it.
Mr
chair,
for
the
items
on
list
f
that
have
been
identified
to
be
pulled
for
discussion.
A
A
We
will
pull
up
e23.
Do
any
of
the
other
members
have
any
additional
items
under
e
or
f
that
mr
thorley
didn't
mention
or
number
23
that
senator
receivers
gancer
mentioned
any
others.
A
A
All
right,
I
don't
see
any
thank
you,
members
and
mr
thorley,
so
I
think,
with
those
being
identified
we
can
we
can.
I
take
a
motion
to
approve
all
the
other
items
under
item
e.
A
Thank
you,
and
so
we,
mr
thorley,
would
it
be
appropriate
to
to
do
the
same
under
item
f
and
and
then
go
back
and
hear
the
items
e
and
f,
or
should
we
do
items
e
and
then
move
on
to
f?
After
we've
heard
all
the
items
e.
G
Mr
chair,
I
believe
it's
up
to,
however,
you'd
like
to
to
handle
that,
if
you'd
like
to
take
a
motion
on
the
remaining
items
on
list
f
at
this
time,
I
think
that
would
be
appropriate
or
you
could
wait
until
the
presentations
for
list
t
are
done.
A
All
right,
mr
thorley,
I
think
I'll,
take
that
motion
so
that
some
of
the
folks
that
are
waiting
to
have
some
certainty
that
they're
not
going
to
get
pulled
up
so
I'll,
take
a
motion
to
approve
items.
F.
All
the
items
under
I
agenda
item
f
that
weren't
identified
to
be
pulled
so
moved.
A
All
right,
I
see
none
all
in
favor,
I
okay,
thank
you
and
he
opposed
nay,
and
that
motion
passes
unanimously
and
we
can
thank
you
members.
We
can
jump
into
items
e
that
were
identified
and
I
believe
that
would
be
e,
10
and
17
and
those
will
be
her
together
or
no
yep.
Those
will
be
her
together.
So
give
me
one
moment
here
again:
bear
with
me
on
my
screen.
Toggling
today.
A
And
item
10
we
have
the
state
controller's
office
and
with
us
we
will
hear
from
controller
katherine
byrne,
and
I
think
that
joining
controller
byrne
we
have
michaela
woodburn
as
well,
possibly.
L
All
right,
my
good
morning,
I'm
chair,
brooks
and
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record.
My
name
is
catherine
byrne
and
I'm
the
state
controller.
This
morning
we
are
submitting
a
work
program
for
fy23.
Recallers
controllers
office
is
requesting
three
hundred
ninety
nine
thousand
eighty
three
dollars
for
three
full-time
positions
and
one
contractor
a
dish.
These
additional
positions
are
required
to
support
the
rise
of
accounting
and
reporting
workload,
responsibilities
with
arpa
and
frf
funds
being
made
available
to
the
state.
L
This
will
provide
much
needed,
labor
resources
to
facilitate
and
continue
timely
and
accurate
financial
accounting
processes.
With
the
added
arpa
and
arpa
frf
funding
statewide,
we
are
asking
for
a
contractor
in
three
full-time
positions
to
assist
our
office
with
bank
reconciliations
under
cares,
act
funding.
We
are
currently
eight
months
behind
in
completing
those
reconciliations.
A
Thank
you
controller
byrne,
and
I
think
what
I'll
do
is:
have
the
department
of
public
and
behavioral
health
come
up
and
and
make
their
request
at
the
same
time,
because
they're,
very
similar
requests
and
and
it
might,
the
questions
that
generated
from
the
committee
might
be
the
same.
So
just
hang
tight
and
if,
if
we
could
have
item
17
presented
now-
and
I
think
we
have
with
us
this
morning
from
the
department
of
behavioral
public
and
behavioral
health,
lisa,
sharich
and
debbie
reynolds.
D
Thank
you
good
morning,
chair
brooks
and
members
of
the
interim
finance
committee
for
the

My
name
is

with
a

of

also
also
with
me
today,
is

request.
Three
hundred
and
sixty
nine
thousand
eight
hundred
and
twenty
three

american
rescue
plan
act.
D
Funding
from
the
governor's
finance
office
to
support
three
additional
temporary
interim
physical

as
well
as
ongoing
funding
for

Analyst
work
program.
C54940,
was
previously
approved
by
ifc
and
authorized
the
transfer
of
682
thousand
dollars
in
federal
workforce
development,
grant
funds
to
support
10
inch,
temporary
interim
fiscal

D
D
D
The
three
new
interim
positions
requested
in
this
work
program
will
work
specifically
on
american
rescue
plan
act
and
other
covet-specific
funding,
focusing
on
physical
management,
with
increased
intent,
attention
to
compliance
and
quality
assurance.
We're
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
I
I
L
Thank
you
for
asking
the
question
again
for
the
records.
Catherine
burns
state
controller.
Yes,
increasingly
over
time,
especially
in
the
last
couple
years
we
have
become
increasingly
behind
on
these
pink
reconciliations.
L
There
has
been
times
that
we've
been
behind,
but
this
is
at
this
moment
it
is
more
far
beyond
the
time
record
that
I
recall
in
the
time
that
I've
been
at
the
controller's
office
for
the
last
10
years,
that
that
is
just
part
of
it
about
the
bank
reconciliations.
L
Currently
right
now
we
need
the
extra
positions,
because
the
person
that's
preparing,
performing
the
bank
reconciliations
and
also
the
team.
That's
working
preparing
the
schedule
of
federal
awards
and
working
with
auditors
are
the
same
people,
so
we
are
required
right
now
to
prioritize
their
tasks.
I
know
I'll
get
the
other
stuff
done.
It's
just.
L
I
am
it's
a
very
high
risk
that
it's
not
done
timely,
so
we
need
those
positions
to
one
catch
up
and
also
go
forward
on
the
complexities
of
some
of
these
issues
that
have
that
have
come
forward
with
the
kova
19
pandemic.
Does
that
answer
your
question
chair?
May
I.
I
I
What
would
be
the
plan
to,
and
I
understand
you're
going
to
get
somebody
else
now,
but
it
sounds
like
you
have
federal
auditors
in
there
and
some
other
additional
issues
but
yeah
how
what
would
be
your
plan
to
make
sure
that
we
get
these
bank
reconciliations
done
on
a
monthly
basis?
I
own
a
business.
I
do
mine
monthly,
I'm
just
very
concerned.
The
state
is
behind.
L
Thank
you
for
the
question
for
the
record.
This
is
katherine
byrne
and
I
too,
as
working
with
businesses
over
over
the
decades
that
bank
reckons
woo
yeah
big
reconciliations
should
be
done
more
timely
than
they
are
one.
Yes,
this
has
progressed
over
time,
and
that
is
why
we
are
requesting
the
contractor,
because
it
will
be
the
contractor
that
will
be
getting
us
up
to
current
and
then
it
will.
L
We
will
organize
the
office
in
the
way
that
one
of
these
new
positions
that
will
also
be
working
heavily
with
the
schedule
of
federal
awards
and
the
reporting
requirements,
will
also
have
this,
and
that
was
just
the
nature
of
you
know.
Bank
reconciliations
are
performed
in
the
agency
services
section.
L
A
A
M
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
in
reviewing
both
of
the
items
item
10
and
item
17.
M
Let
us
know
how
explain
to
us
how
they're
going
to
track
those
future
be
in
a
position
where
we're
obligating
the
state's
allocation
for
the
chronov
virus
dollars,
and
we
don't
have
a
tracking
mechanism.
Could
someone
just
further
explain
to
us
how
we're
going
to
track
those
future
expenditures.
L
I
can
speak
to
it
good
morning.
This
is
catherine
bernstein
controller
for
the
record.
I
can
speak
to
the
tasks
that
they
will
perform
and
then
I'll
have
to.
If
we
want
more
detail,
we'll
have
to
confer
to
michella
woodburn,
but
each
of
these
positions.
L
Have
a
work
performance
standard
and
they
will
go
through
an
employee
evaluation
process
and
it's
spelled
out
in
those
performance
standards
what
their
tasks
are
going
to
be
and
it
will
be
really
specific
and
if
it's
related,
when
it's
related
to
things
like
these
pockets
of
federal
money,
it
is
really
important
that
that
first,
that
first
document
that
you
have
with
the
employee
is
their
work
performance
standards.
L
C
E
We'll
monitor
that
the
work
is
getting
performed,
I'm
not
sure
if
that
that
answers
your
question.
A
M
No,
but
I
appreciate
the
answer
that
was
given
and
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
track
work
performance,
but
I'm
I'm.
My
question
is
more
along
the
fiscal
side
of
the
obligations
of
the
funds
that
are
being
extended
past
the
current
biennium.
How
are
we
tracking
those
funds
good
morning?
I
believe
that's.
F
Good
morning,
susan
brown
for
the
record
director
of
the
governor's
finance
office-
and
yes,
we
are
tracking
those
expenditures
through
the
end
of
the
funds
which
is
december
of
2026.,
we
do
have
a
tracker,
we
are
keeping
track
of
that
and
we
are
aware
that
there
are
expenses
that
we
are
obligating
at
this
point
in
time
that
aren't
necessarily
being
approved.
You
will
see
some
of
those
in
the
budget
that
we
will
maintain
a
tracker
and
make
sure
that
we
are
not
over
obligating.
These
funds.
M
N
I
think
vice
chair
was
before
me,
but
I'm
happy
to
go
if
that's
all
right
on
my
list
you're
next,
but
all
right,
then
thank
you.
So
I
have
a
question
for
deputy
reynolds
and
I
guess
the
controller
also
we're
tracking
the
fiscal
side
of
this,
and
we
just
ask
great
questions
about
who's
following
the
money.
My
question
regards
the
actual
personnel.
I
think
deputy
reynolds
mentioned
that
we've
gotten,
like
almost
she's
gotten
760
million
dollars
in
their
their
department
through
the
various
funds
grants,
etc.
D
Thank
you
for
the
question
debbie
reynolds
for
the
record.
I
don't
have
the
total
number
of
staff
that
have
been
employed
over
all
760
million
dollars
that
we've
received
the
division
of
public
and
behavioral
health.
Administrative
accounts
has
received
approval
for
10
positions.
N
I
thank
you
for
that
because
I
I
I
knew
you
wouldn't
be
able
to
to
give
that
now,
but
I
think
we
would,
as
a
committee
like
to
know
that,
because
we
we
should
be
tracking,
that
being
aware
of
the
lives
that
that
we
are
responsible
for
or
the
their
jobs
and
making
sure
it's
easy,
ten
here
and
five
there
and
three
there.
But
what
what's
the
state's
obligation
and
well
thank
you
for
getting
back
to
us
on
that.
A
Chair,
thank
you.
Assemblywoman
titus,
that's
a
that's
a
great
question
and
I
I
think
that
it
would
be
when
we're
building
as
you're
building
the
budget
and
bringing
that
budget
to
the
money
committees
either
in
the
interim,
but
but
definitely
in
the
regular
session.
It
would
be
really
good
to
identify
which
which
of
those
employees
were
picked
up
as
a
result
of
any
of
the
arpa
funds,
not
just
the
ones
that
came
through
these
more
flexible
ones
that
came
through.
A
I
think
that'd
be
really
good
to
identify
those
folks
just
so
we
have
understanding
of
the
scale
and
scope
of
the
nevadans
that
we've
hired
and
that
might
end
up
losing
funding
or
having
to
be
built
into
future
budgets.
I
appreciate
that
question
assemblywoman
and
look
forward
to
kind
of
seeing
what
what
that
looks
like
all
right.
I
do
we
have
any
other
questions
from
any
of
the
members
on
items.
10
and
17.
A
It
does
not
appear
as
if
we
do
all
right
great.
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
you
controller
burn
for
for
coming
into
today
and
explaining
item
10
for
us
and
then
also
ms
reynolds
coming
in
and
having
you
and
your
team
walk
us
through
the
17..
A
So
with
that
no
questions,
I
would
look
for
a
motion
to
approve
10
and
17.
A
So
I
have
a
motion
from
I
believe:
assemblywoman
monroe
moreno
is
that
was
that
it
and
then
a
second
from
senator
dennis
any
discussion
on
that
motion.
A
N
No,
I
was
thank
you
chair,
but
it
was
senator
answered.
I
believe.
A
E
A
A
O
Currently,
we
process
complaints
manually,
and
this
would
be
the
first
ever
modernization
that
nerc
has
seen
since
since
its
inception
in
1961,
we
would
have
a
database
solution,
cloud-based
solution
that
would
track
and
manage
complaints
through
the
lifecycle
of
the
discriminative
discrimination
and
settlement
complaint
process
before
litigation.
So
complainants
would
file
their
complaints
through
the
online
portal
on
our
website.
O
Cases
would
be
assigned
to
investigators
and
tracked
notice,
for
due
process
would
be
be,
and
we
would
hopefully,
with
the
solution,
settle
cases
more
promptly,
based
on
our
standards
of
closing
cases
within
six
months
to
a
year.
Currently
right
now,
our
backlog
is
on
par
with
eeoc's
backlog
of
one
to
two
years
of
resolving
a
complaint
of
discrimination,
we'd
like
to
improve
upon
that
and
utilize.
This
funding
to
modernize
nerc
for
legacy
purposes,
usability
and
just
stream.
O
O
O
I
worked
with
him
in
the
sense
that
he
had
asked
me
cares
any
grant
money
that
you
can
do
to
not
pull
on
general
funding
back
in
2018-19
session
to
try
to
get
nerf
more
modernized,
and
there
just
was
no
opportunities
at
that
time,
so
ab509
passed
and
we
were
able
to
move
forward
with
implementing
a
modernization
or
case
management
system
for
the
equal
rights
commission.
O
However
march
2020
happened
and
covet
happened,
and
so
we
put
a
pause
on
that
now.
We
see
a
great
opportunity
to
use
arpa
money
in
order
to
fulfill
what
we
had
started
way
back
in
2018,
not
tax
general
fund
allocations
that
are
very
limited,
but
in
as
in
a
sense,
still
helps
agency
move
forward
and
align
with
the
governor's
priorities
of
modernizing
how
we
do
business,
also
helping
more
marginalized
groups
and
just
the
simple
act
of
being
able
to
confidentially
and
privately
file
your
complaint
online.
O
It
helps
so
many
folks
who
we
tend
to
serve
at
the
nerc,
and
so
I'm
trying
to
think
of
anything
else.
Oh,
when
we
did
our
rfp
back
in
2018,
we
got
about
six
proposals,
ranging
on
an
average
of
about
250
000,
to
implement
with
licensing
fees
at
about
62
000
we
reached
out
to
to
some
of
those
vendors.
O
O
However,
we
plan
to
if
this
money's
approved
read
another
rfp
for
more
approximate
costs
this
summer
for
implementation
next
summer
and
we're
averaging
we're
looking
about
maybe
300
up
to
300
000,
to
do
this
with
a
license
fee
of
up
to
150
000
for
the
next
two
years,
and
then
department
costs
to
deter
to
help
us
out
with
onboarding
a
system,
and
then
we
would
work
in
the
licensing
fees
moving
forward
into
our
budget
builds
for
the
next
applicable
bienniums
into
our
budget.
O
So
it
would
be
very
helpful
to
have
this
again.
It's
the
first
of
its
inception
to
for
the
equal
rights
commission
since
1961
to
not
manually
track
cases
through
outlook
and
excel.
This
would
be
great
also.
I
could
provide
with
my
management
analyst
detailed
information,
nevada
specific
to
you
all
as
legislators,
about
trends
as
it
relates
to
harassment
based
on
race,
national
origin,
color,
religion,
sex,
gender-based
discrimination.
O
E
So
so
she
answered
most
of
my
questions
with
their
reviews.
So
first
I
want
to
thank
her
miss
jenkins
for
bringing
this
forward.
We
spoke
several
years
ago
about
the
backlog
and
the
help
that
you
needed,
and
at
that
time
it
was
related
mostly
to
personnel,
but
it
was
because
you
didn't
have
software
right,
so
you
didn't
really
have
a
technical
solution
to
help
you.
So
I
think
it
makes
sense
that
you're
bringing
this
forward.
One
of
my
questions
was
going
to
be,
if
you're
doing
a
new
rfp
and
the
answer
sounds
like
it's.
E
Yes,
it
sounds
like
you're
looking
for
a
cloud-based
solution
versus
whatever
you
were
looking
at
before.
So
that's
good.
It
sounds
like
the
ongoing
cost
is
about
75
000
a
year
for
for
licensing,
and
that
would
be
the
only
cost
you
would
expect
do
you
have
any
other
related
personnel
costs
that
would
be
added
without
okay.
O
The
record
no
senator
cancer.
This
would
be
so
cool
because
it
would
be
modernized,
so
it
would
be
digitized
and
streamlined.
So
we
do
have
a
management
analyst
position.
That
would
help
me
track
the
data
and
the
team,
but
we
would
just
license
and
update
software,
so
it
would,
it
would
not
really
require
more
fte
per
se.
It
would
be
a
system
right.
So
I
look
forward
to.
E
A
A
I
don't
see
any
all
right,
so
thank
you
again.
Miss
jenkins
appreciate
it
and
I
would
take
a
motion
to
approve
item
23.
A
A
All
right,
I
see
none
all
in
favor,
I
thank
you
any
opposed,
nay,
and
that
motion
passes
unanimously.
Thank
you
and
we
can
move
on
now
to
our
next
item,
which
is
item
e
25,
which
was
requested
by
center
senator
gokuchiya,
and
that
is
from
the
department
of
conservation,
natural
resources,
division
of
forestry
and
do
we
have
anyone
from
the
division
of
forestry
here
today.
A
All
right:
well,
please,
if
you
would,
and
maybe
I'll
just
have
senator
gokuchi,
just
ask
if
he
has
a
specific
question
or,
and
that
might
save
you
some
trouble.
K
Yes,
I
I
do
we're
talking
a
million
and
a
half
dollars
of
replacement
radios.
How
many
are
they
and
I
assume
most
of
them
are
just
hand
handheld
fire
radios.
G
Senator
thank
you
for
the
question
for
the
record.
This
is
eric
antel,
deputy
administrator
for
the
division
of
forestry,
and
this
in
request
includes
215
handheld
radios
and
185
command
mobile
radios,
as
well
as
the
necessary
equipment
and
insulation
costs
to
install
the
185
radios
within
the
fleet
of
the
division
of
forestry.
K
I'm
trying
to
get
them
muted
here,
mr
antelope,
I
appreciate
that
it
just
seems
like
an
awful
lot
of
replacement.
Is
this
an
annual
expense.
G
Senator
thank
you
for
the
question
and
for
the
record
eric
antel
deputy
administrator,
so
we
do
budget
and
through
normal
cost
appropriation
for
the
category
with
radio
replacement,
but
these
radios
have
hit
their
12-year
life
expense
deadline,
as
well
as
to
meet
federal
compliance
into
the
digital
format.
That's
why
there's
a
large
ask
for
this
replacement
radios.
A
Thank
you
for
the
question
senator.
Thank
you,
mr
antel.
Any
other
questions
from
the
committee
on
this
item.
A
N
A
I
Thank
you
chair,
I'm
not
quite
sure
where
the
right
place
is
to
ask
this
question.
It's
kind
of
a
30
000
foot
level.
For
for
me
to
understand
better.
I
see
a
lot
of
motions
here
with
arp
money
for
seeing
more
like
single
expenditure
for
equipment
replacement,
which
I
think
is
good.
A
I
think
that's
a
governor's
office
question.
We
have
miss
bortland.
G
Mr
chair,
I
see
director
brown
is
ready
to
jump
on
if.
F
Susan
brown
for
the
record
director
of
governor's
finance
office.
There
is
a
provision
in
the
final
rule
for
revenue
loss,
that
is,
for
the
provision
of
governmental
services,
and
this
falls
under
that
section
of
the
final
rules.
So
this
is
an
allowable
expense
and
if
I
remember
correctly,
this
is
an
item
that
was
not
funded
in
the
budget
previously,
because
we
were
making
budget
cuts
as
a
result
of
covid.
A
Thank
you,
director
brown.
Does
that
answer
your
question
assemblywoman?
Yes,
thank
you.
So
if
we
didn't
fund
something
as
because
of
the
budget
cuts
that
needed
to
be
made
as
a
result
of
the
pandemic,
and
we
would
have
otherwise
put
it
in
the
budget,
then
it
qualifies.
F
Susan
brown
for
the
record
it
could
potentially
qualify.
There
are
things
that
were
specifically
cut
as
a
result
of
the
budget
cuts.
So
when
we
had
a
special
session
back
in
summer
of
2020,
there
were
a
number
of
items
that
were
cut
at
that
point
time
and
I
believe
there
this
might
have
been
one
of
those.
F
K
F
K
F
Susan
brown,
for
the
record,
there
is
the
possibility
that
they
could
come
back
several
years
from
now
and
and
make
that
argument
that
something
didn't
qualify.
We
have
been
very
careful
about
what
we
are
funding
and
making
sure
that
we
are
following
the
final
rule
and
the
reporting
requirements
and
when
we
have
questions
or
have
need
clarity,
we
do
reach
out
to
the
us
treasury
to
ensure
that
the
expenses
that
we're
incurring
are
eligible.
A
Thank
you,
director
brown,
senator
gokuchiya.
Did
that
answer
your
question?
Yes,
sir.
I'm
good!
Thank
you
I
I
do
know.
I
mean
we.
We
have
ncsl
and
csg,
which
is
national
legislative
organizations
and
then
national
organizations
around
treasures,
offices
across
the
states
and
and
governor's
offices
of
finance
across
the
states,
and
I
would
say
that
nevada
probably
is
taking
the
absolute
most
conservative
look
at
all
this
stuff
and
which
can
be
frustrating
at
times
if
you're
trying
to
be
creative,
but
I
I
think
our
it.
A
We
shouldn't
have
much
concern
about
us,
not
meeting
the
final
rules
or
they're
being
clawed
back
because
of
the
probably
the
most
conservative
approach
that
we're
taking
in
the
united
states.
So
I
think
that
we're
safe
from
that
that
respect.
So
I
appreciate
that
one
one
I
have
a
question
for
director
brown
is:
is
that
kind
of
the
tracking
of
it
and
then
making
sure
that
it
meets
the
compliance
that
complies
with
the
different
categorical
rules?
A
Is
that
what
the
contractor
that
we
approved
and
that
the
your
office
hired
in
the
last?
I
guess
it
was
that
was
in
early
after
session
right
after
session
was
that
in
the
in
ifc
was.
Is
that
what
that
contractor
is
doing.
F
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
appreciate
that
senator
harris.
O
Thank
you,
so
much
chair
brooks
miss
brown.
You
mentioned
that
the
state
is
doing
a
diligent
job
in
tracking
these
funds,
which
I
think
is
necessary
and
important
to
our
due
diligence.
Is
there
somewhere,
where
the
public
can
access
that
information
and
follow
along.
F
Susan
brown,
for
the
record,
the
presentation
that
mr
lizer
did
earlier
is
a
tracking
of
the
expenditures
that
are
being
made
as
well,
and
that
is
publicly
on
the
legislative
website.
We
do
work
with
cb
fiscal
staff
to
reconcile
that
to
what
we
have
on
our
records
other
and
then
there's
the
reports
that
we
provide
to
the
federal
government.
I
don't
know
if
those
are
public
at
this
moment
in
time.
I
haven't
been
following
that
very
closely,
but
I
can
take
a
look
at
that.
O
Well,
I'll,
just
I'll
just
speak
for
for
myself,
if
you
got
the
information
I
you
know,
I
think
more
transparency
is
always
best.
So
if
there's
some
easy
way
or
you
know,
if
you
want
to
take
the
model
of
the
the
covet
tracking
kind
of
software
that
that
the
state's
done
so
well
to
provide
that
information
to
folks,
I
think
nevadans
would
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
senator
harris
and
I'd
like
to
give
the
take
this
opportunity
to
give
the
gfo
and
the
governor's
office
the
chance
to
plug
their
their
website.
That
is
tracking
the
nonprofit
portion
of
this,
and
it's
it's
a
it's
a
really
really
simple
and
informative
website.
Could
somebody
from
gfo
or
the
governor's
office
give
a
plug
for
what
that
website
is?
Please.
D
Thank
you
senator
brooks
bailey
bortolin
from
the
governor's
office
for
the
record.
I
appreciate
you
lining
that
up
for
us,
so
I
just
checked.
It
is
right
at
this
moment
locked
because
we
are
actively
updating
the
numbers
that
you
all
just
approved,
so
it
will
go,
live
again
in
a
few
moments.
But
if
you
go
to
nevadarecovers.com,
there
is
a
tab
called
buy
the
numbers,
and
so
we
are
working
closely
with
lcb
that
report
that
you
all
just
received
in
an
excel
spreadsheet
version.
D
We
translate
that
into
a
pie
chart
that
shows
how
much
of
how
many
of
these
dollars
have
gone
to
education
and
you
can
scroll
over
it
and
it
will
give
you
a
full
breakdown
of
those
items,
how
many
of
them
have
gone
to
housing,
etc,
and
then,
underneath
that,
as
the
chair
mentioned,
there
is
a
tracking
spreadsheet
on
the
community
recovery
grant
for
non-profits,
so
everything
around
arp
we
are
putting
on
the
nevadarecoverswebsite.com.
We
hope
to
launch
broadband
there
soon.
So
I
would
highly
recommend
you
check
that
out
for
some
nerdy
and
informative
information.
A
You've
got
the
right
crowd
for
nerdy
and
informative.
Thank
you
very
much.
Miss
borderland
and
I
will
check
it
after
it
refreshes
this
afternoon,
but
yeah
it's
a
great
tool
and
I'm
glad
that
to
see
that
that
your
office
put
that
together
for
for
us
and
for
the
general
public,
any
other
questions.
K
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
to
miss
burdelling
how
far
down,
because
I'm
not
that
nerdy,
how
far
down
will
that
go?
Will
it
actually
get
down
to
the
bottom
line
say
what
small
business
received
the
grant.
D
D
It
may
have
been
small
business
and
we
put
it
where
we
feel
most
appropriate,
but
it
does
give
you
a
a
one
pie
chart
and
then
a
scroll
over
to
see
what
actually
makes
up
that
slice
of
the
pie
and
what
those
programs
were
titled
and
then
those
track
to
the
lcb
spreadsheet
for
even
more
specific
information,
and
we
also
are
linking
the
reports
that
the
state
of
nevada
is
submitting
to
the
federal
government
that
director
brown
mentioned.
Those
are
public
reports
and
publicly
available
information.
D
So
if
you
would
like
to
get
into
the
nitty-gritty,
those
actual
reports
are
linked
there
for
transparency,
and
I
failed
to
mention
that
this
website
is
also
available
in
spanish
as
well.
So
you
can
click
over
there
to
make
it
more
accessible
and
helpful.
A
Thank
you,
miss
portland
and
senator,
don't
sell
yourself
short
you're,
pretty
nerdy,
and
do
we
have
any
other
questions
from
any
of
the
members
of
the
committee.
A
all
right,
so
any
other
questions
on
radios
all
right
great.
So
with
that,
I
would
take
a
motion
to
approve
item
25.
A
A
I
see
none
all
right,
thank
you
and
I
was
just
oh
so
we
can
take
a
vote
all
in
favor
aye.
A
Thank
you
any
opposed,
nay,
and
that
motion
passes
unanimously.
Thank
you,
and
I
was
just
I
just
saw-
that
it
is
live
again
for
for
those
of
the
public
in
the
committee,
and
that
is
again
at
nevadarecovers.com.
A
The
numbers-
and
so
it's
a
it's
and
it's
a
tab.
I
believe
on
that
page
right,
cool,
all
right,
thank
you,
and
so
we
can
now
move
on
to
our
items
and
item
f.
I
think
that's
everything
for
e.
Yes,
it
is,
and
we
will
start
with
items
8
through
16
and
just
give
me
one.
Second,
please,
as
I
pull
ups
my
lists,
we
will
have
eight
through
16
and
item
e18
or
excuse
me.
A
A
All
heard
together-
and
that
is
all
from
the
department
of
corrections,
and
I
believe
we
have
the
entire
team
from
the
department
of
corrections
here
today
we
have
director
daniels,
deputy
director
gutierrez
and
deputy
director
lucas
and
the
chief
of
their
fiscal
cert
indocts
fiscal
service,
adrian
monroe,
and
so
if
y'all
could
come,
get
on
and
present
this
these
work
programs
and
just
to
to
clarify
these
are
work
programs,
eight,
two,
five
c:

and
then

program,
c58698,
so
come
on
up.
E
E
I
wanted
to
give
a
quick
statement
regarding
the
q,
a
document
from
lcd
staff,
both
myself
and
chief
of
fiscal
adrian
monroe,
were
out
on
leave
when
we
received
the
questions,
the
responses
weren't
vetted
by
leadership,
and
we
are
aware
that
there
were
inaccuracies
and
in
the
responses
we
apologize
and
have
gone
through
our
projections
and
have
made
corrections
and
that
revised
agency
response
was
sent
out
late
last
night.
E
We
are
also
doing
training
with
gfo,
as
we
have
twenty
percent
staffing
in
our
budget
analyst
section
with
four
out
of
five
vacant
positions,
and
our
budget
analyst
is
new
to
her
role.
Excuse
me,
fiscal
management
will
also
be
participating
in
these
trainings
to
ensure
all
future
staff
are
trained
in
alignment
with
gfo
standards
and
expectations,
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
about
that.
Thank
you.
A
So
it
was
I
I
I
heard
I
heard
everything,
but
it
was
just
a
little
muffled.
So
when
you're
answering
some
of
the
questions,
if
you
might
get
a
little
closer,
I
think
some
of
the
members
are
having
a
little
bit
of
a
hard
time
hearing.
So
with
that
who
would
like
to
get
started
with
any
questions.
I
A
So
so
my
question
is
so:
we've
got,
you
know
a
bunch
of
backup
materials
that
were
provided
to
us
and-
and
we
worked
with
our
staff
to
do
some
analysis
on
that
backup
materials
that
were
provided
to
us.
So
and
you
say
you
know
late
last
night,
you
you
had
to
correct
some,
you
know
mistakes,
that
and
and
how
that
information
was
presented
to
us.
A
What
I
mean,
if
you
could
just
kind
of
instead
of
going
all
the
way
back
from
the
beginning,
could
you
identify
what
the
corrections
were
like?
What?
What?
What
are
we
looking
at
in
our
data
that
we
were
given
and
from
your
agency
and
with
the
help
of
our
staff
distilled
down
to
its
essence?
And
then
what
did
you
change?
So
you
know
basically,
what's
different
from
from
this
morning,
that
that
we
is
different
from
what
we
had
last
night.
C
Good
morning,
chair
brooks
vice
chair,
carlton
and
honorable
members
of
the
committee.
This
is
adrian
monroe
chief
of
physical
services,
so
the
work
programs
don't
necessarily
need
to
change.
However,
there
were
some
in
the
back
up
documents
for
certain
categories
and
gls.
There
were
some
shortfalls
showing,
for
example,
for
things
that
should
have
been
cleaned
up.
We
did
not
have
a
whole
lot
of
time
to
turn
these
around,
and
the
version
that
was
used
of
our
production
program
was
what
we
call
a
current
version.
It's
kind
of
a
live
document.
C
When
we
normally
produce
work
programs,
we
create
an
archived
version,
and
that
gives
the
budget
analysts
time
to
go
through
and
vet
the
material
and
make
corrections
and
changes.
So,
for
example,
in
one
of
the
work
programs,
you
know
there
there
it
showed
that
pistols
had
been
charged
to
an
equipment
gl
rather
than
the
weapons
gl.
C
So
we
were
able
to
recognize
that,
and
I
understand
what
the
budget
analyst
was
thinking
about-
how
it
was
coded
by
a
dollar
amount
threshold
in
our
chart
of
accounts,
rather
than
by
the
appropriate
category,
which
would
be
more
transparent.
To
put
it
in
weapons,
so
so
your
fiscal
staff
at
lcb
did
a
good
job
in
going
through
and
recognizing
some
things
like
that,
but
it
doesn't
change
the
the
nature
of
the
request
of
the
work
programs
that
are
before
you
today.
A
And
that
answers
my
question.
I
appreciate
that
that
says
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
were
still
looking
at
the
same
requests
for
the
same
things,
regardless
of
how
they
were
coded
and
okay.
Great
great.
Do
any
members
have
any
questions.
I
have
a
few
but
I'd
love
to
give
the
committee
an
opportunity.
I
think
I've
got
first.
I
have
vice
chair
carlton.
Then
I
have
senator
dennis.
E
I
think,
thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
this
this
kind
of
seems
to
be
an
ongoing
theme
here
so
and
we
seem
to
be
getting
just
a
portion
of
the
room
in
the
zoom,
I'm
not
sure
who
all
is
in
in
that
room
presenting.
So
whoever
needs
to
answer
this
question.
That
would
be
great.
So
I
know
we
legislatively
approved
money.
We
do
this
every
biennium
to
address
the
emergency
issues
that
anything
extraordinary.
You
know
the
oven
breaking
something
you
know
like
a
normal
family.
E
That's
not
something
that
we
should
ignore.
We
put
money
into
categories
for
a
reason,
so
they
can
be
tracked.
You
don't
use
you
know
operating
for
assistance.
I
mean
there's
a
reason
why
we
do
this.
So
there
are
funds
that
are
in
the
director's
office
budget
for
these
things,
but
it
seems
as
though
we're
just
finding
money
wherever
we
find
it
and
paying
the
bill
and
not
tracking
it
and
or
using
the
correct
categories.
E
C
Adrian
monroe
for
the
record,
thank
you
vice
chair
carlton.
Those
are
excellent
questions,
so
the
way
that
we
use
director's
extraordinary
maintenance,
it's
sort
of
a
last
resort.
If
the
budget
account
has
the
ability
to
heal
itself,
it
is
to
do
so
first.
C
Ndoc
does
so
at
the
time
that
these
work
programs
were
submitted.
I
think
we
were
showing
less
than
seven
thousand
dollars
left
available
in
the
director's
extraordinary
maintenance
fund,
and
this
time
of
year
is
really
about
the
time
that
we
go
through
and
clean
it
up
and
see
who's
actually
secured
the
items
that
they
needed
did
they
have
supply
chain
issues.
Is
there
a
delay?
Could
they
purchase
the
items
but
not
the
the
service
to
have
them
installed?
C
So
at
this
time
we
go
through,
and
we
have
just,
as
of
yesterday,
identified,
I
think,
about
forty
thousand
dollars
that
we
can
free
up
from
the
director's
extraordinary
maintenance
fund.
E
E
This
is
going
to
be
a
problem
moving
forward
in
the
next
budget
cycle
and
and
hopefully
the
crew.
That's
there
will
be
able
to
start
straightening
this
out
a
little
bit
more
because
we
really
do
need
to
know
how
the
dollars
are
being
spent
and
that
they're
being
spent
where
we
put
them.
For
that
reason,
the
audit
was
not
good
and
that's
probably
a
whole
other
meeting,
so
we're
not
going
to
go
down
that
rabbit
hole
at
this
time,
but
there
are
some
issues
that
need
to
get
addressed.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Vice
chair
and
along
those
lines,
I
I
know,
there's
just
you
know
a
tremendous
amount
of
turnover
in
all-state
government.
There's
a
tremendous
amount
of
turnover
in
your
agency
and
and
it's
just
some
of
the
stuff
is
very
complicated.
A
I
you
know,
I
know
that
the
governor's
fine
office
of
finances
is
a
is
a
resource,
but
I
would
also
you
know,
legislate
reach
out
to
individual
legislators
on
this
committee
and
and,
and
you
can
reach
out
to
the
legislative
council,
bureaus
incredible
fiscal
staff
and
if
there's
you
know,
questions
that
need
to
be
answered
or-
or
you
know,
advice
that
you're
looking
for.
We
can
facilitate
that
that
as
well-
and
I
know
the
governor's
office
of
finance
is-
is
a
great,
you
know
mentor
and
source
of
information
as
well.
A
But
please,
just
if
you
feel
like
you
are
in
error,
or
you
are
going
to
make
a
mistake.
This,
the
members
of
this
committee
would
be
happy
to
many
of
the
members
of
this
committee
be
happy
to
help
in
any
way
we
possibly
can.
So
I
I
appreciate
your
answering
of
that
question
and
I
have
senator
dennis
up
next.
B
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
I
have
some
questions
about
the
phone
system.
Back
in
in
2017
we
approved
a
new
phone
system
and
because
we
couldn't
the
way
I
understood
it,
because
we
couldn't
switch
the
old
system
and
the
new
system
we
we
purchased
the
system
that
allowed
for
the
old
system
to
continue
to
run
until
we
can
implement
all
the
new
stuff
and
then
in
in
19
and
21.
B
There
wasn't
a
request
to
actually
do
the
implementation
cost.
So
can
you
talk
about?
What's
you
know
why?
Why
didn't
you
anticipate
that,
knowing
that
you
have
this
new
system,
you're
going
to
have
to
put
the
new
phones
in
and
implement
it
and
now
you're
coming
in
and
asking
for
money
now,
but
you
had
opportunity
in
19
and
21
to
do
that.
E
Thank
you
for
the
question,
so
lisa
lucas
lisa
lucas,
for
the
record
regarding
the
mps
system,
my
staff
and
I
have
been
going
through
the
original
documentation
and
tires
and
doing
our
own
internal
audit.
Previous
administrative
staff
that
was
involved
at
the
time
are
no
longer
here.
I
do
have
my
tele
telecommunications
coordinator,
who
has
been
on
the
project
since
the
beginning.
You
can
ask
any
specific
questions.
As
of
today,
we
are.
E
H
Hi,
my
name
is
john
nation,
I'm
the
telecommunications
coordinator
for
the
department
of
corrections
and
what
the
refunds
are
for
was.
There
was
a
process
that
we
had
to
go
through
in
order
to
port
over
the
old
numbers,
without
creating
any
irrevocable
arms
or
existing
network
and
and
during
the
process,
because
they
had
what
they
called
stacking
did
numbers
which
they
end
up
as
we
expanded.
H
They
added
blocks
of
numbers
and
in
order
to
get
these
processed
and
cut
over
the
translation
system
from
at
t
kept
rejecting
it,
and
so
it
turned
out
to
be
a
more
timely
process.
So
what
we've
done
is
we've
gone
back
and
requested
the
refunds
from
the
time
that
we
started
this
porting
process
to
make
sure
that
that
we
were
refunded
the
amounts
because
of
of
the
process
to
get
this
gone
through.
H
Yeah
we
have
gone
live
statewide
we
cut
over
over
18
facilities.
We
have
two
that
are
left,
which
is
easy,
state,
prison
and
and
wells
conservation
camp.
We
were
able
to
do
five-digit,
dialing
statewide,
we've
eliminated
all
long-distance
costs
associated
with
calling
throughout
anywhere
in
the
state,
as
well
as
out
of
the
state.
In
the
process
of
doing
this,
we
are
about
90
percent,
complete
with
this
project.
B
And
then
just
going
back
to
my
the
original
question
about,
why
didn't
we
do
this
sooner?
I
think
what
I
heard
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
was
that
you're
not
quite
sure
why?
Because
there
was
others
that
were
there,
but
as
you
looked
at
this
issue,
you
realize
that
these
were
costs
that
needed
to
be
done,
and-
and
so
that's
why
you're
coming
forward
now.
Does
that
sound,
accurate.
H
What
what
we
had
is
a
process
and
we
had
to
make
sure
that
we
were
going
to
do
any
harm
to
our
existing
facilities,
so
the
process
that
we
had
to
follow
and
the
rejection
of
some
of
the
processes
through
the
network
that
we've
developed
have
had
caused
issues,
and
then
we
had
to
overcome
the
issues
but
yeah.
We
are
moving
forward
with
completing
this
project.
B
As
far
as
the
implementation
costs,
though
I
don't
know
if
this
is
a
question
for
you
or
for
the
other
person,
but
the
implement
actually
implementing
all
the
new
stuff,
there
wasn't
a
request
for
that
until
right.
Now.
Is
that?
Because
somebody
just
didn't,
do
it
along
the
way
and
now
you've
figured
out
that
needed
to
be
done,
that
the
cost
needed
to
be
applied
for.
E
Lisa
lucas,
for
the
record,
the
implementation
costs
were
included
in
the
tire.
What
these
are
the
costs
that
we're
doing
now
are
the
phone
charges
per
lines.
So
what
john
was
talking
about
is
that
we're
being
we're
being
billed
at
our
old
rate
and
then
we
have
to
pour
them
over
to
the
new,
so
they
were
still
charging
us
for
the
old
one.
That's
what
we're
going
back
through
and
identifying
and
getting
a
hold
of
att
to
refund
us
on
those
that
should
have
been
turned
off.
B
Okay,
so
I
understand
now
so
you,
the
the
the
the
actual
implementation
costs
were
were
taken
were
requested,
but
now
you've
run
into
these
other
issues
that
you're
trying
to
correct
that
that
are,
after
the
fact,
okay
great.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
A
Thank
you
senator
dennis,
which
leads
me
to
a
question.
So
if
you're
talking
about
unforeseen
expenses,
you
know,
however,
we
got
to
the
place
we're
at
but
unfor
unforeseen
expenses,
but
you're
gonna
get
a
refund
somewhere
down
the
road.
How
do
you
plan
on?
Does
that
change
this
number
that
you're
requesting
today
and
then
what
will
you?
How
will
you,
from
an
accounting
standpoint,
show
the
savings
associated
with
that
refund?.
E
For
the
record,
so
we
I
know
some
of
the
refunds
are
in
process
and
when
we
do
get
them
we're
going
to
apply
them
because
they
are
for
this
fiscal
year,
we're
going
to
apply
them
to
existing
bills,
that
we
have
that
no
guarantee
when
the
rest
of
them
are
going
to
come.
But
att
has
been
pretty
pretty
responsive
when
we're
requesting
these
refunds,
but
it
will
change
the
shortfalls.
C
Correct
it
will
eventually
change
the
shortfall.
The
problem
is
without
the
authority
and
the
categories
being
frozen.
We
don't
have
the
ability
to
pay
our
bills
right
now,
so
we're
looking
for
authority
to
be
able
to
do
that
and
then
we'll
apply
the
credit
later
and
you
know
if
it
ends
up
being
reverted
or
applied.
You
know
to
future
bills,
so
there
aren't
there's
not
a
lot
of
months
left
in
the
fiscal
year.
It's
really
just
that
we're
not
able
to
pay
our
our
phone
bills
because
the
category
is
already
in
the
negative.
C
So
but
the
authority
is
what
we're
looking
for
now
so
that
we
can
proceed
forward
and
then
apply
the
credit.
Hopefully
you
know
they
can
get
that
to
us
very
soon
and
we're
working
with
the
vendor.
So
I
can't
promise
when
that
will
be
issued
to
us,
but
we
can
certainly
follow
up
with
you
and
keep
you
oppressed.
A
I
would
just
urge
that
urge
you
to
reach
out
to
gfo
and
or
the
legislative
fiscal
staff
to
make
sure
that
you
know
if
there's
question
whatsoever
and
how
that
that
credit
is
treated
that
that
you
know
so
that
we
don't
end
up.
You
know
asking
you
the
same
question
after
the
fact
like
so
just
make
sure
that
you're
working
with,
because
I
think
that
that
probably
needs
to
get
reverted
to
the
general
fund.
Q
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
chair.
I
just
wanted
to
go
back
to
some
of
the
questions
that
were
brought
up
earlier
around
some
of
the
inmate
driven
expenses,
and
you
know
again.
I
guess
some
of
these
things
were
recategorized,
but
I
really
have
two
questions.
The
first
is,
you
know,
my
understanding
is
that
inmate
driven
expenses
should
have
a
relationship
to
the
inmate
population.
Q
But
when
we
look
at
some
of
the
inmate-driven
shortfalls,
there
doesn't
seem
to
be
any
link
between
the
changes
in
the
inmate
population
and
and
the
inmate
population
and
the
changes
in
in
the
inmate
driven
expenses.
So
that's
the
first
thing
I'm
just
wondering
if,
if
the
department
can
expand
upon
why
there
seems
to
be
a
just,
a
general
disconnect
between
the
population
numbers
and
the
changes
in
those
expenses.
R
R
For
example,
over
the
pandemic
years,
we've
had
a
huge
increase,
we've
done
quarantines
and
that
has
caused
inmates
to
be
to
be
out
of
their
cells
less
to
participate
in
activities
less,
and
the
backlash
to
that
has
been
a
relative
increase
in
the
grievances
that
the
inmates
produce
in
one
one
of
these
work
programs
we're
asking
for
additional
funds
to
cover
shortfalls
for
forms,
forms
that
are
given
the
inmates
to
process
those
grievances
which
have
which
went
up
in
last
year
by
150.
Q
Q
You
know
in
terms
of
of
population
and
and
increases
in
inmate-driven
expenses
right,
and
so
I'm
just
wondering
I
mean
that
the
example
you
gave,
I
think,
is
useful,
but
I
I'd
imagine
that
that's
probably
been
a
trend
that
we've
seen
across
institutions.
Q
You
know,
I
know
that
you
know.
For
example,
ely
state
prison
population
is
up
19,
19
inmate,
driven
shortfalls
51.
Q
As
you
know,
stewart
conservation,
camp
populations
down
7
driven
shortfall
is
66
percent.
So
I'm
just
wondering
if,
if
you
can
shed
any
more
light
on,
why
the?
Why
that
that's
the
case.
I
Of
purchasing
and
inmate
services,
the
caught
the
cost
that
you're,
referring
to
one
of
the
examples
we
have
over
the
last
two
years.
C
I
Our
institutions
have
been
on
total
lockdown,
which
has
increased
our
feeding,
costs
that
and
the
fact
that
the
cpi,
over
the
last
two
years,
has
raised
10.1
percent.
So
in
checking
some
of
the
costs,
the
cost
of
eggs,
which
is
a
huge
part
of
our
venue,
have
gone
up
over
25
over
the
last
two
years.
I
I
Q
Okay,
thank
you
for
that.
I
won't.
I
won't
belabor
the
point.
I
hope
when
we
get
some
of
these
additional
follow-up
items
we
can
understand
because,
while
clearly
there's
you
know,
a
lot
of
items
have
increased
in
cost.
Not
everything
has,
and
so
hopefully,
as
we
get
some
information
about
how
things
are
sorted
out,
we
can
really
see
you
know
where
the
increases
have
come
in
food
versus
clothing
versus
some
of
these
other
items.
You
know,
I
know
that
the
utility
costs
were
broken
out.
Q
We
all
know
that
fossil
fuel
prices
have
essentially
doubled
recently,
so
you
know
that
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense,
I'm
just
hoping
that
we
could.
When
we
get
the
the
latest
version
of
where
everything's
allocated,
we
can
yeah
get
a
a
better
idea
of
how
these
things
you
know,
may
be
aligned.
A
C
I
can
adrian
wrote
for
the
record.
I
can
just
kind
of
give
you
a
rough
idea
so
at
high
high
b
high
desert
state
prison
cap,
50
inmate
driven
so.
C
Budget
for
all
of
the
gl's
in
there
is
6.7
million
dollars
just
so
that
you
know
the
food
portion
of
that
is
4
million
88
387.
C
So
it's
really
two-thirds
of
the
category
and
to
give
you
some
perspective
in
fiscal
21,
the
actuals
just
for
the
food
gl
7200
was
3
million
546
640
we're
projecting
five
million.
Seventy
five
thousand
seven
forty
five
for
this
year
and
we've
obligated
four
point:
three:
seven:
six:
four,
oh
nine!
So
far,
you
can
see
that
in
the
attachment
to
the
work
program
for
high
desert,
so
it
does
comprise
probably
the
largest
portion
of
that
and
yes,
it's
by
far
the
largest
portion
is
the
food
gl.
A
A
I
probably
won't
even
want
to
know
at
that
point.
I
want
to
know
right
now,
but
I
it
sounds
like
it's
roughly
two-thirds.
That's
what
I'm
looking
for,
like
roughly
what
percentage
of
your
inmate
drivens
is
food
and
I
would
think
that's
a
number
that
you
would
just
be
able
to
grab
immediately,
but
I
guess
not.
E
R
Yes,
chair
brooks
pardon
me
for
interrupting,
but
this
deputy
director
getter
for
the
record
on
the
operational
side
of
the
house,
to
give
you
a
little
more
background
to
that
that
number
on
the
operational
day,
normal
operations,
the
attendance
at
meals
by
the
inmates
varies
from
less
than
half
to
nearly
all
dependent
upon
the
meal,
that's
being
served
during
a
quarantine
when
we're
locked
down
we're
serving
100
of
the
population
every
meal.
That's
why
there's
such
a
large
increase
in
the
expense
of
feeding.
F
R
That
type
of
operations-
and
that's
what
has
impacted
our
food
budget
mostly-
is
that
we're
feeding
a
hundred
percent
of
every
meal,
one
one
serving
one
tray
serving
to
every
inmate,
whether
they
want
it
or
not,
and
at
their
at
their
at
their
living
quarters,
instead
of
them
having
the
option
of
traveling
outside
their
living
quarters
and
going
to
a
dining
facility
to
get
it
which
we
do
under
normal
operations.
That's
why
that
increases
is
so
big.
A
That's
helpful,
I'm
just
trying
to
wrap
my
head
around
the
scope
of
the
scale
of
what
food
is
because
the
two
two
biggest
the
two
drivers
in
in
our
recent
inflation
numbers
in
this
country
are
fossil
fuel,
energy
and
food,
and
so
I
mean
by
far
a
lot
of
other
things.
Most
other
things
are
flatter
down,
and
so
it's
it's
just.
I'm
really
trying
to
kind
of
understand
the
scale
and
and
scope
of
what
the
problem
is,
and
so
thank
you
both
for
answering
those
questions
for
me.
R
Thank
you
for
your
question,
mr
deputy,
dr
bill
kitter.
For
the
record
we
came
on
a
lockdown
last
month.
We
ended
the
covid
quarantine
restrictions
that
we
didn't
have
any
facilities
in
quarantine.
At
that
time
we
are
seeing
an
uptick
in
some
some
positive
numbers
right
now.
We
don't
have
any
large
scale
quarantines
at
this
time.
A
I
Thank
you
chair.
I
have
two
questions.
If
I
might
one
the
phone
system
started
in
2018
and
it's
still
not
fully
implemented,
I'm
just
wondering
how
converting
phones
can
take
four
years
or
2018
was
just
when
funds
were
requested
and
it's
only
the
conversion's
only
been
the
last
year
or
two,
or
did
it
really
take
four
years
and
we're
still
not
complete,
and
when
will
we
be
complete.
H
John
mason
nevada
department
of
corrections,
the
phone
system
that
we
started
because
of
the
logistical
issues
with
incorporating
our
our
rural
facilities,
as
well
as
created
a
logistical
nightmare
for
us,
but
we
were
able
to
overcome
that
and
a
lot
of
our
facilities
did
not
have
fiber
in
order
to
provide
these
these
bandwidth
and
high
speed
networks
that
we
needed.
H
I
I
My
big
picture
question
is
we
hear
so
much
of
the
department
of
corrections
is
severely
underfunded.
I'm
I'm
concerned
to
levels
of
safety
issues
for
our
correction
officers
and
inmates
as
well.
I
don't
see
any
requests
for
substantial
increase
in
personnel
to
assist
with
the
decrease
in
personnel
that
the
department
of
corrections
has
had,
and
it
seems
that
would
be
a
priority
for
requesting,
and
why
do
I
not
see
that
here
unless
I've
missed
missed
that.
R
You
very
much
for
the
question
for
the
record
deputy
director
bill
gitter
of
direct
director
of
operations.
Well,
it
was
a
darn
good
question.
We
have
all
the
authority
we
need
in
vacancies
to
hire
the
staff
that
we
need
to
to
run
safe
and
secure
operations.
R
So
we
have
all
the
positions
we
need,
however,
we're
going
into
a
staffing
study
to
study,
ways
that
we
may
need
more
or
to
operate
more
efficiently.
The
challenge
is
finding
the
individuals
to
fill
those
positions
regarding
safety
and
security.
We
are
concerned
as
well
and
we
do
everything
in
our
power
to
leverage
overtime
in
order
to
fill
in
personnel
in
those
areas
that
are
most
needed
to
maintain
safety
and
security,
a
humane
environment
and
provide
programming
opportunities
for
our
inmates
to
the
very
best
of
our
staffing
capabilities.
A
I
So
you
actually
have
the
budget
and
the
funding
to
hire
the
staff,
but
you
can't
get
you
can't
get
the
people
hired
is
what
I'm
hearing
and,
if
that's
a
factor
of
increased
wages,
which
usually
is
what
it
is
to
increase
the
wages
to
attract
these
people.
To
these
physicians,
then
I
would
say
that
that
would
be.
One
of
the
things
that
would
be
requested
would
be
an
increase
in
the
in
the
in
the
wage
rates.
To
accomplish
this,
because
I'm
just
concerned
about
the
safety
for
everyone.
R
Okay,
thank
you
for
the
question
once
again,
a
really
good
one
and
as
we
work
forward
and
work
with
the
governor's
finance
office,
the
executive
team
and
and
the
going
into
the
legislative
cycle
absolutely
will
be
making
the
argument
that
we
need
to
be
more
competitive
with
wages
and
benefits
so
that
we
can
attract
the
personnel.
We
need,
but
that's
a
much
larger,
much
larger
position
that
we
have
to
take
in
order
to
fill
those
vacancies
effectively
that
we
have.
R
So.
I
certainly
appreciate
the
question
and
and
the
insight
the
realization
that
we
do
need
better
wages
and
benefits
across
the
department
in
order
to
fill
those
vacancies
to
maintain
safety,
security,
humane
treatment
and
the
programming
that
we
need
to
deliver
to
our
inmates
who
are
going
to
get
out
of
out
of
prison
and
rejoin
our
communities.
It's
super
important
to
us
and
we'll
be
addressing
that
in
the
future.
A
A
I
would
like
to
remind
everyone
on
this
money
committee
that
every
dollar
out
needs
to
have
a
dollar
in,
and
so
I
look
forward
to
what
kind
of
creative
solutions
for
revenue
that
you
will
suggest.
A
So
any
other
questions
for
the
come
or
for
department
of
corrections,
assemblywoman,
monroe,
moreno.
M
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
for
that
statement
you
just
made,
because
I
wanted
to
comment
on
that.
We
as
a
legislative
body
can't
and
then
interim,
give
raises
or
anything
like
that.
We
can't
do
that
on
this
committee.
I
appreciate
the
conversation,
but
if
we
look
at
departments
all
departments
in
our
state
right
now,
we
are
hurting
as
a
state
with
our
staffing.
M
It's
not
just
the
department
of
corrections,
public
safety,
the
governor's
finance
office,
we're
hurting
with
staffing,
because
we
are
not
competitive,
and
I
appreciate
the
statement
you
made
of
how
it
appears
that
there's
members
on
this
interim
committee
that
would
like
to
look
at
ways
to
be
very
creative
to
address
those
needs
that
we
have
as
a
state.
So
I
look
forward
to
having
that
conversation
because
we
had
it
just
a
few
sessions
ago,
and
there
were
members
that
are
currently
on
this
committee
that
were
not
as
willing
to
work
with
some
creative
solutions.
M
So
we
wouldn't
be
in
the
position
that
we
are
now.
So
I'm
excited
to
see
that,
as
we
go
into
the
next
legislative
session,
we'll
be
able
to
have
those
more
spirited
conversations
and
come
up
with
some
solutions
to
address
problems
that
we're
seeing
across
our
state
and
all
the
departments.
M
But
my
question
is,
as
I
look
at
the
information
that
we
have
for
today's
meeting
and
we're
looking
at
the
expenditures
from
one
category
being
used
in
another
category.
M
Could
you
just
go
into
a
little
bit
more
detail
that
I
feel
comfortable
and
other
members
on
the
committee
that
things
that
were
found
in
the
audit
from
february
22nd
of
how
you're
implementing
the
corrections
to
make
sure
that
the
proper,
proper
expenditures
are
put
in
the
proper
categories
and
money's
only
being
used
from
those
categories?
Could
you
just
go
into
a
little
bit
more
detail
of
how
you're
fixing
that
mistakes
that
were
found
in
the
audit.
R
Thank
you
assemble
the
woman.
This
is
for
the
record.
This
is
a
deputy
director
bill,
gitter
with
ndoc
specific
to
the
weapons
purchases.
Since
that
audit,
we
have
developed
a
weapons
committee
chaired
by
myself,
three
wardens
representative
of
the
our
finance
office
to
meet,
discuss
the
needs
for,
and
the
funding
for
any
and
all
weapons
ammunition
conditions
purposes
going
forward.
So
those
mistakes
won't
happen
again
in
a
bigger
sense.
M
Thank
you
for
that
answer,
and
I
would
just
reiterate
what
the
chair
said
earlier.
Our
fiscal
staff
is
here
to
help
the
legislators
on
this
committee
are
here
to
help.
So,
if
there's
anything
that
we
can
do
to
help
you,
please
know
that
we
are
here
we're
a
team
and
we
want
you
to
be
successful
because
then
we're
all
successful
in
the
end
and
then
we're
being
better
server
servers
to
our
constituency
and
the
inmates
that
you're
serving
so
please
reach
out.
Let
us
help
you.
A
A
All
right,
it
does
not
look
as
if
we
do
so.
I
really
appreciate
the
entire
team
over
there
at
department
of
corrections
and
coming
and
and
presenting
this
to
us
and
helping
us
kind
of
understand
where
some
of
these
shortfalls
came
from
and
and
how
to
correct
them
and
then
also
having
a
conversation
about
how
we
can
maybe
improve
some
processes.
Moving
forward
and
and
and
possibly
you
know,
have
a
a
little
bit
more
clarity
in
how
some
of
these
things
are
reported
in
the
future.
A
So
I
appreciate
it
really
do
and
I
hope
you
enjoy
the
rest
your
day
and
with
that
I
would
look
for
a
motion
to
approve
items
eight
through
sixteen
and
eighteen.
A
I
have
I
have
a
motion
from
vice
chair
carlton
and
a
second
from
senator
dennis
any
discussion
on
that
motion.
A
Oh,
thank
you!
Any
opposed,
nay,
seeing
no
opposed
passes
unanimously
and
we
can
move
on
to
our
next
agenda
item.
Thank
you
very
much,
and
so
our
next
agenda
item.
A
This
is
really
difficult,
not
having
multiple
screens
you
get
a
little
little
spoiled.
That
is
it
for
items
f.
I
don't
think
we
pulled
any
additional
ones.
So
unless
I
am
corrected,
we
will
be
going
on
to
item
g
on
our
agenda,
which
is
the
statement
of
contingency
account
balance
and
mr
thorley.
Will
you
please
go
over
that
statement.
G
Absolutely
mr
chair,
again
for
the
record
wayne:
thorley
lcb
fiscal,
the
statement
of
ifc
contingency
count.
Balance
begins
on
page
437
of
your
meeting
packet
under
tab
g
as
usual.
The
first
page
is
a
summary
and
then
on
page
348
and
349
of
your
packet
is
the
detailed
breakout.
G
Million
dollars
that
is
made
up
of
18.8
million
dollars,
unrestricted
general
fund,
1.6
million
dollars
of
unrestricted
highway
fund
and
8.5
million
dollars
in
restricted
general
fund
and
highway
fund
allocations
pursuant
to
legislation
passed
by
the
2021
legislature.
G
There
is
one
item:
one
request
before
the
committee
today
for
an
allocation
from
the
ifc
contingency
account.
The
dollar
amount
of
that
request
is
three
hundred
and
seventy
three
thousand
fifty
one
dollars,
if
approved
the
remaining
balance
in
the
contingency
account,
will
be
28.6
million
dollars.
A
A
It
does
not
appear
as
if
we
do
so.
Thank
you
we'll
move
on
to
our
next
agenda
item
and
our
next
agenda
item
is
agenda.
Item
h,
which
is
a
request
for
allocation
from
the
ifc
contingency
account.
It
is
from
the
department
of
public
safety,
the
dignitary
protection
group
and
with
us
this
afternoon
or
morning.
I
guess
it's
still
morning
in
las
vegas
nevada
is
we
have
deputy
director
bruggeman
and
we
have
fiscal
officer
palmer
from
the
department
of
public
safety.
A
Please
go
ahead
and
and
briefly
get
into
what
your
request
is.
P
Good
morning,
chair
brooks
vice
chair
carlton
and
committee,
I'm
lisa
galloway,
the
aso
from
department
of
public
safety,
state
police
and
I'm
filling
in
for
curtis
palmer.
This
morning
I
have
with
me
deputy
director
bergerman,
and
so
this
work
program
requests
a
transfer
from
the
interim
finance
committee
funds.
This
request
adds
funding
for
three
additional
sworn
positions,
and
this
item
was
first
heard
as
an
action
item
at
the
april
12
boe
for
extended
protection
for
the
governor
and
the
first
family,
both
in
the
north
and
the
south.
P
P
A
recent,
a
recent
assessment
of
dignitary
protection
operation
by
the
capitol
chief
police
excuse
me
by
the
capitol
police
chief,
revealed
the
need
for
expanding
the
protective
team
with
this
being
an
election
year.
The
need
for
stronger
protection
services
is
critical
to
protect
the
governor
and
the
first
family.
P
The
dignitary
protection
unit
will
be
expanded
by
adding
one
sergeant
and
one
dps
officer,
two
to
the
southern
team
and
one
dps
officer
to
the
northern
group.
Dignitary
protection
unit
will
be
able
to
provide
better
support
and
more
efficient
security
coverage
for
the
governor
and
first
family.
With
this
edition,
this
work
program
covers
the
personnel
cost
of
three
hundred.
Seventy
three
thousand
fifty
one
dollars
and
additional
funds
may
be
requested
as
a
later
date
as
needed
and
chiefly
dose
is
available
online.
To
answer
any
operational
questions.
A
Thank
you,
ms
galloway
appreciate
that.
Does
the
committee
have
any
questions.
A
All
right,
I
see
none
thank
you,
and
I
just
would
like
to
note
that
this
is
trying
to
restore
us
back
to
where
the
size
of
that
that
unit
traditionally
was
so.
I
appreciate
you
making
this
request
and
I
appreciate
all
that
you
do.
A
Do
we
have
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
committee?
I
don't
see
any
so
I
would
take
a
motion
to
approve
item
h.
A
I
see
none
so
all
in
favor
I
and
thank
you
any
opposed,
nay
motion
passes
unanimously.
Thank
you
committee
and
thank
you
to
the
department
of
public
safety
and
we
can
move
on
now
to
our
next
item.
Our
next
item
is
item
agenda
item.
I,
and
it
is
an
informational,
only
item
and
it's
a
report
from
the
department
of
business
and
industry.
A
The
housing
division
on
the
status
of
the
home
means
nevada
initiative
for
affordable
housing
as
directed
by
the
ifc
when
we
approved
this
the
funding
for
this
so
with
us,
I
don't
imagine,
there's
much
to
report
but
with
us
today
is
director
reynolds
from
bni
and
we
have
mr
across
I
believe
we
have
mr
holiday
and
we
also
have
reese
campbell
with
us
this
afternoon.
B
Good
afternoon,
chair
brooks
vice
chair
carlton
members
of
the
committee.
We
did
submit
a
report
dated
april
21st
to
you
that
you
should
have.
This
is
steve
across
administrative
nevada,
housing
division
for
the
record.
Sorry.
B
B
So
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
also
we
are
currently
in
the
pre-application
period,
which
ends
may
15th,
and
so
we
are
receiving
those
and
to
your
point,
chair
brooks.
We
should
have
a
a
much
more
complete
accounting
of
where
we're
at
on
at
the
june
21st
ifc,
and
with
that
I
will
see
if
there's
any
questions.
B
Stevie
croft
for
the
record.
We
can
bounce
it
back
to
you,
so
you
can
review
it
but
effectively.
It's
what's
created
this
preliminary
report
that
you
see
it's
pretty
thorough
in
what
it
provides,
but
I
again
be
happy
to
bounce
that
back
to
you.
E
And
thank
you,
mr
a
croft,
and
this
is
just
in
the
spirit
of
trying
to
work
together.
We'd
much
rather
have
this
conversation
now
before
these
reports
get
too
complicated
then
have
to
go
back
and
try
to
recreate
the
wheel
as
such,
so
there
may
be
something
staff
might
want
to
know
that
you
guys
never
thought
we
would
be
interested
in
and
they
may
be
able
to
give
you
some
input
on
some
things
that
you
know
probably
should
be
incorporated,
since
there
will
be
no
work
programs
on
this
in
the
future.
E
So
I
just
think
it
would
be
a
good
idea
to
have
those
conversations
now
rather
than
later
so
we're
all.
On
the
same
page,.
A
A
I
don't
see
any,
but
please
holler
if
I
missed
yet
all
right.
Thank
you,
mr
aircraft,
for
coming
in
this
morning
and
look
forward
to
hearing
what
progress
you
made
at
our
next
ifc
and
so
with
that
that
was
informational.
Only
no
action
necessary.
A
We
can
move
on
to
j
item
j,
which
is
also
an
informational,
only
item
and
it's
a
report
status
report
on
the
issuance
of
technology
fee
refunds,
as
required
by
the
stipulation
agreement
dated
november
1st
2021
for
the
period
ending
march
31st
2022,
and
this
is
from
the
department
of
motor
vehicles.
So
with
us
today
we
have
mr
sever
and
we
also
have
administrator
angela
smith.
So
please
go
ahead
and
give
us
your
status
report.
S
S
So
the
first
part
of
this
program
are
the
business
refund
checks
which
were
sent
out
on
february
22nd.
More
than
61
000
business
refunds
were
issued
for
a
total
of
almost
2.2
million
dollars,
close
to
40
000
of
those
business
refunds
have
cleared
through
april
28th
for
a
total
of
more
than
1.4
million
or
65
percent.
S
The
second
part
of
this
program
are
the
customer
refunds
which
were
made
available
to
the
public
on
april
4th
over
9000
of
these
refunds
have
been
issued
through
april
28th
for
more
than
30
thousand
dollars,
which
is
less
than
one
percent.
The
amount
of
refunds
available
is
just
over
3.8
million
dollars.
S
S
We
have
temporary
staff
in
place
in
our
call
center
to
assist
customers
with
questions,
and
we
also
have
a
dedicated
web
page
on
our
website.
With
the
q
a
session
section,
the
cash
refunds
are
available
weekdays
in
our
offices
around
the
state
and
we
encourage
people
to
pick
up
the
refund
the
next
time
they
visit
an
office.
You
don't
need
an
appointment
to
get
a
refund
and
you
can
also
visit
any
office
in
the
state.
You
don't
need
to
go
to
the
same
one
where
you
paid
the
fee.
S
Yes,
sean
sever
from
the
dmv,
it's
so
anybody
who
paid
the
the
dollar
tech
fee.
It's
one
dollar
right,
yeah,
one
dollar.
A
A
Thank
you,
mr
sever.
Thank
you
senator
hammond.
Do
we
have
any
other
questions,
mr
chair
assembly,
woman,
titus.
N
Thank
you,
mr
sever.
I'm
curious.
How
long
do
you
anticipate
this
program
to
last?
Some
of
us
have
multiple
vehicles
and
different
things
that
were
that
were
charged
and
the
time
we
all
have
to
go
in
public
to
the
dmv
to
get
to
receive
this.
However
many
we
might
get
back
and
dollar
bills,
and
so
I'm
just
curious.
How
long
do
you
expect
to
anticipate
this
program
to
continue?
S
Sure,
yes,
sean
sever
from
the
dmv,
I
believe
it's
through
the
next
fiscal
year,
and
we
also
you
know
we
are
not
seeing
the
demand
that
we
expected,
but
that
was
kind
of
by
design,
because
we
didn't
want
everybody
rushing
into
the
dmv.
On
the
first
day
we
made
it
available
because
it's
hard
enough
to
get
into
our
offices
anyway,
so
but
yeah
we're
doing
the
best
we
can
with
advertising
campaign,
we're
we're
posting
on
social
media.
We're
trying
to
get
the
word
out
as
much
as
we
can.
N
So
and
if
somebody
goes
in
for
another
reason,
do
you
automatically
look
up
even
if
they
don't
know
about
it
or
has
your
staff
instructed
look
up,
and
perhaps
this
person
is
entitled
to
a
refund.
S
Sure
yeah
sean
sever
from
the
dmv.
We
actually
have
dedicated
windows
in
our
urban
offices
so
yeah
we
direct
that
person
over
to
those
offices
and
they
handle
the
tech
feed
there.
So
yeah
we
just
when.
Once
we
get
somebody
in
the
office,
we
we
get
them
over
to
get
the
refund
right.
Thank
you.
If
they
choose
to
do
so,
they
don't
have
to.
N
And
then
is
that
and
if
that,
if
I
might
follow
up
with
that,
mr
chair
just
curious
that
so,
if
they
choose
not
to,
then
they
do
do
they
get
taken
off
the
roll
and
are
you
keeping
track
of
how
many
folks
don't
want
to
refund.
S
N
N
I'm
just
curious
that
since
there's
a
finite
date
on
when
these
funds
will
still
be
available
and
folks
are
choosing
not
to
accept
them-
maybe
folks
don't
know
about
them,
but
at
the
same
time,
if
there's
money
left
over
and
could
you
tell
me
the
total
amount
of
money
that
was
entered
originally?
Would
you
refresh
my
mind
please.
S
Yes,
sean
sever
from
the
dmv,
so
let's
see
the
business
checks
were
2.2
million.
The
refunds
to
the
public
were
3.8.
N
S
Correct,
yes,
sean
sever
from
the
dmv
and
65
of
the
business
refunds
have
been
collected
so
far
right.
N
One
percent:
that's
that's
a
significant
amount,
that's
not
being
collected,
and
I
know
that
you
didn't
want
people
coming
in
and
and
again
you
already
have
weight
lines
and
nobody
wants
to
go
to
the
dmv.
You've
pushed
us.
You
know
you've
done
a
great
job
in
encouraging
people
to
use
kiosks
and
do
it
online.
So
most
of
us
don't
go
to
the
dmv
anymore.
N
If,
then,
that,
whatever
percent
it
is,
gets
reverted
back
to
whatever
fund
it
came
from
which
would
be
the
techy,
I
believe
so
thank
you
for
keeping
us
updated
on
that
and
thank
you,
mr
chair,
for
the
questions.
D
This
is
angela,
if
I
might
just
for
a
second
I
wanted
to
address
the
leftover
revenue
would
not
be
permitted
to
go
back
into
dmv's
budget.
Sorry
for
the
record,
this
is
angela
smith
with
the
department
of
motor
vehicles.
We
would
look
to
revert
that
probably
to
the
highway
fund,
but
we
would
coordinate
that
with
the
gfo
and
lcb
staff.
A
I
want
my
two
dollars,
but
anyway,
I
don't
see
a
lot
of
fans
of
that
movie
on
the
screen,
so
all
right,
no
other
questions
and
thank
you,
the
department
of
motor
vehicles
team,
thank
you,
ms
smith,
and
mr
sever,
for
giving
us
that
status
report
appreciate
it
and
with
no
other
questions
we
can
move
on
to
what
will
be
our
final
agenda
item,
which
is
our
second
period
of
public
comment,
and
I
just
would
like
to
remind
any
of
the
public
that
we
would
limit
our
individual
comment
to
two
minutes.
A
Please
and
broadcast
services.
If
we
could
check
if
we
have
anyone
on
the
line.
I
E
The
line
is
open
and
working,
however,
we
have
no
colors
to
provide
public
record
public
comment
at
this
time.
Well,.
A
Thank
you
so
with
that
we
can
finish
our
business
for
the
day
and
I
would
really
like
to
thank
first
and
foremost
our
legislative
council,
bureau
staff
and
fiscal
staff
and
broadcast
services

everybody
who
makes
these
this.
These
meetings

programs
