A
A
A
Thank
you
so
much
bps
okay
committee
members
that
moves
us
into
agenda
item
number
three,
which
is
the
public
hearings
concerning
concerning
the
terminations,
modifications,
consolidation
or
continued
continuous
operation
of
the
committees.
We
selected
the
entities
we
selected
at
our
last
meeting
agenda
item.
This
agenda
item
gives
the
subcommittee
the
opportunity
to
consider
the
boards
and
advisory
committees
listed
on
our
agenda
for
review.
Today
we
have
five
entities
for
review.
A
These
were
selected
by
us
at
our
january
meeting.
I
will
remind
the
members
and
the
public
that,
pursuant
to
statute,
an
entity
under
reviewed
is
required
to
submit
information
about
its
members,
its
powers
and
duties
and
its
budget,
a
history
of
its
meeting,
an
assessment
of
its
effectiveness
serving
the
people
of
nevada
and
by
filling
out
those
forms
that
we
approved
in
our
january
meeting
as
well
by
statute.
The
border
commission
has
the
burden
of
proving
that
there
is
a
public
need
for
its
continued
existence.
A
A
All
documents
are
available
on
the
subcommittee's
meeting
page,
including
a
document
providing
background
information
and
legislative
history
for
the
entity
being
reviewed.
Our
first
board
for
review
is
the
state
historical
records
advisory
board.
The
sunset
subcommittee
reviewed
the
state
historical
records
advisory
board
in
march
of
2014
and
voted
to
recommend
the
board's
continuation
without
any
suggested
changes.
A
Director
freed
and
mr
strom
from
the
department
of
administration
are
here
to
discuss
the
board
director
frieder,
mr
strom.
If
you
could,
please
provide
the
subcommittee
with
a
brief
overview
of
the
work
of
the
state
historical
records
advisory
board,
and
then
we
will
move
forward
with
questions
from
the
subcommittee.
So
when
you
are
ready
this
floor
is
yours.
Thank.
F
You,
madam
chair
members,
good
morning,
everyone,
my
name,
is
laura
free
for
the
record.
I
served
as
the
director
of
the
department
of
administration.
F
I
am
joined
by
my
colleagues
from
the
nevada,
state,
library,
archives
and
public
records
division,
and
I
will
turn
it
over
to
them
to
talk
about
the
state
historical
records,
advisory
board,
otherwise
known
as
shrab,
so
I'll.
Let
them
introduce
themselves
and
they
can
give
you
a
brief,
go
over
of
the
materials
that
we
submitted
to
your
research
staff.
Previously.
G
Thank
you
director,
free
good
morning
committee.
This
is
mike
strom.
I
am
the
administrator
of
the
nevada
state,
library,
archives
and
public
records
division.
I
will
be
giving
you
a
brief
overview
of
the
state
historical
records
advisory
board,
but
before
I
do
that,
I'd
like
to
give
cindy
shane
who
has
joined
me
this
morning,
a
chance
to
introduce
herself.
C
G
Okay
for
the
record
again,
this
is
mike
strom
and
a
brief
overview
of
what
we
submitted
a
week
or
two
ago,
the
the
questionnaire,
of
course,
and
the
the
attachments,
the
attachments.
Many
of
them
we
felt
didn't
apply,
unfortunately,
because
with
the
board
has
not
met
in
a
few
years.
The
the
state
historical
records
advisory
board
is
funded
by
the
national
historical
publications
and
records
commission,
the
nhprc,
and
they
are
the
funding
arm
of
the
national
archives.
G
The
on
the
the
purpose
of
the
board
is
to
is
to
promote
the
importance
of
historical
records
and
improve
access
to
those
historical
records
to
create
better
communication
among
professionals
who
work
in
the
archives
and
records
field
around
the
state
and
to
help
us
facilitate
training
and
projects
and
other
things
that
help
with
records
management
and
help
bring
these
historic
records
to
light
to
provide
them
with
better
access
to
people
and
researchers
around
the
state
who
are
interested
in
nevada,
history
and
in
quality
records
management
of
nevada's
records.
G
G
There
are
reasons
to
believe
that
the
board
will
be
dormant,
no
longer
the
main
one
being
that
we've
just
hired
a
new
state
archivist,
and
that
is
cindy
shane
who
just
introduced
herself
to
you.
Cindy
comes
to
us
from
unlv
she's
well
connected
in
in
nevada
and
in
archives
and
records
management
circles.
G
The
she
has
already
reached
out
to
the
existing
board
members.
There
are
three
board
members
right
now
they
are
engaged
and
they
are
planning
to
meet
to
compile
a
list
of
possible
future
committee
members.
So
we
can
fill
the
the
vacant
board
spots
and
go
forward.
She's
already
reached
out
to
the
nhprc
to
see
when
the
next
grant
deadline
is
it
is
in
june,
and
she
is
hoping
to
prepare
a
grant
request
to
move
forward
and
get
the
board
revitalized
and
hprc
does
order.
G
It
does
offer
a
a
smaller
level
grant
around
ten
thousand
dollars
or
so
for
agencies,
for
rather
for
dormant
boards
to
sort
of
jumpstart
themselves
and
move
forward
with
strategic
planning
and
reaching
out
around
the
state
to
determine
future
initiatives.
So
with
that,
I
will
I'll
stop
and
await
questions.
A
Okay,
let's
try
that
again
now
that
I'm
unmuted.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
overview.
Mr
strum,
I
appreciate
it.
I
am
going
to
first
turn
it
over
to
committee
members
to
see
if
they
have
any
questions.
I
do
have
just
two
to
three
questions
for
you,
but
I'd
like
to
get
started
with
the
committee
members.
First,
so
committee
members,
do
you
have
any
questions
for
any
of
our
presenters.
A
Hey
I'm
good.
I
do
see
that
our
vice
sure
has
a
question
and
then
also
assembly,
member
kasama.
So
we
will
start
first
with
our
vice
chair
and
then
assemblymember.
We
will
move
over
to
you
for
the
second
round
of
questions
by
sure
when
you're
ready.
H
Well,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
probably
probably
missed
it,
but
I'm
looking
to
the
question
really
is:
are
we
talking
historical
from
the
standpoint
of
just
records,
we're
talking
historical
from
the
standpoint
of
buildings,
historical,
I
mean
I'm
trying
to
try
to
get
a
context
in
which
we,
when
we
talk
about
historical
records,
does
that
make
sense
to
you?
Is
that
completely
convoluted.
G
No,
absolutely
this
is
mike
strom
for
the
record.
Madam
vice
chair,
the
the
shrap,
the
the
state
historical
records
advisory
board.
Often
they
they
do
focus
mostly
on
records
on
on
paper
records
on
electronic
records
on
photographs.
Things
like
that,
less
so
on
artifacts
or
buildings
certainly
records
that
document.
H
Yeah,
so
the
the
next
question
would
be,
I
think,
about
four
or
five
years
ago
here
in
the
south.
We
push
on
fortuna
springs
to
make
sure
that
that
was
a
a
national
monument,
even
though
it
was
at
the
federal
level,
but
it
was
still
part
of
nevada.
So
the
question
my
question
would
be
any
records
pertaining
to
lands
or
contributions
from
indigenous
people.
G
Mike
strong
for
the
record,
madam
vice
chair,
absolutely
those
records
would
be
certainly
be
of
interest
to
the
to
the
schrab
in
in
helping
to
preserve
those
records
and
make
them
more
accessible.
G
We
would
look
to
you
know
the
the
archives
or
the
the
institution
tasked
with
maintaining
those
records
and
keeping
those
records,
and
you
know
try
to
help
them
with
those
projects.
We
wouldn't
necessarily
move
in
and
take
over
the
records,
but
but
absolutely
those
would
be
the
the
sorts
of
projects
that
the
state
historical
rex
advisory
board
would
be
interested
in
promoting
and
assisting
if
possible.
C
G
Mike
strom
for
the
record,
thank
you
for
that
question.
Assemblywoman,
the
the
definition
of
historical
is,
is
often
what
what
institutions
around
the
state
decide
that
it
is
if,
if
they
have,
if
there
are
records
in
archives
or
in
any
institution
that
they
they
want
to
keep
be
them
20
years
old,
be
them
100
years
old.
I
we're
interested
in
helping
to
preserve
and
help
promote
those
records.
In
fact,
you
know
electronic
records,
often
what
we
think
of
as
old.
G
You
know
back
when
I
started
in
the
archives
profession,
we
used
to
think
nothing
was
old
before
50
years
old,
but
you
know
often
with
electronic
records.
You
know
those
records
by
the
time
they're
40
50
years
old.
They
they
would
have
been
migrated
two
or
three
times
already.
It's
different
systems
and
everything
so
so
electronic
records
age
more
quickly
than
paper
records.
So
it
is
really
up
to
the
the
the
agencies
which
we
assist
and
work
with
to
determine
whether
or
not
they're
historic.
G
C
G
Mike
strong
for
the
record,
the
I
don't
believe
anyone
was
handling
it
in
this
way
that
the
state
historical
rec
advisory
board
is
a
unique
institution
or
a
unique
board.
You
know
within
the
state
and
we
have
a
unique
mandate
to
go
forth
and
help
these
agencies
with
these
projects.
So
I
I
don't
believe
anyone
was.
However,
you
know
in
many
cases
our
our
job
is
to
help
promote
and
to
help
people
do
a
better
job
or
to
give
them
more
resources
to
do
their
job.
G
Mike
strom
for
the
record,
absolutely
some
common
projects
that
the
schrab
would
help
with
would
be
to
digitize
same
newspapers
or
or
collections
of
papers
and
assist
the
the
local
archives
in
putting
them
online.
So
people
can
research
them
remote
or
access
them
remotely.
Researchers
can
find
them
from
afar.
A
Well,
and
thank
you,
mr
strom
members,
any
other
questions.
A
A
A
Will
those
people
be
eligible
for
renewal
or
are
your
board
positions?
They
have
term
limits.
G
Thank
you
matter.
Excuse
me,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
mike
strong
for
the
record.
We
do
the
the
existing
borg
members
will
be
eligible
for
for
reappointment
if
they
so
choose.
I
do
believe
that
we
have.
We
have
four
vacancies
right
now.
We
checked
with
the
the
the
site
on
the
governor's
webpage,
so
I
apologize
for
any
confusion
in
our
reporting
to
you
about
that.
G
A
Thank
you,
mr
strom,
and
I
do
have
another
question
because
you
did
say
that
there's
a
grants
deadline
coming
up
in
june
and
you
guys
would
be
applying
for
it.
But
I
see
you
said
you
had
you
you've
been
inactive
since
2018
your
last
meeting
was
2018,
but
the
last
time
you
actually
applied
for
a
grant
from
the
nhprc
was
in
2015..
G
Yeah,
madam
chair,
mike
strong
for
the
record
that
was
before
my
time
here.
I'm
I'm
fairly
new
here
as
well.
I'm
newer
than
I'm
I'm
older
than
cindy
I've
been
here
eight
months
now.
My
understanding
is
is
that
they
they
probably
well.
I
can't
say
for
sure
I
assume
that
they
met
virtually,
but
I
I
am
not
sure
how
they
did
that
and
from
my
records
they
did
not
meet
regularly
by
any
means.
G
A
I
I
well
it
looks
yeah
it
looks
like
they
met
annually.
They
met
in
2014,
2015
2016,
2017
2018.
So
I'm
just
I'm
curious
if
that
that
they
applied
for
in
2015
was
enough
to
carry
them
through
those
three
years
I
mean,
if
you
don't,
have
the
information
now
I
mean
please
feel
free
just
to
go
and
investigate
and
then
send
it
to
our
to
us
at
a
later
time.
I.
G
F
Madam
chair,
if
I
may-
oh
yes,
this
is
laura
for
the
record
you're
right,
the
last
draw
of
the
nhprc
grant
was,
I
believe,
fy15
and
I
think
they
carried
forward
some
of
that
remaining
grant
into
fy16.
If
my
research
in
the
state
accounting
system
does
not
fail
me
so
and
you're
right,
they
met
sporadically
and
they
haven't
met
recently.
But
the
more
recent
meetings
I
think,
administrator
strom
is
correct.
F
Those
were
done
virtually
but
there
in
our
research
of
the
fiscal
history
of
the
board's
operations,
it
looks
like
there
was
some
de
minimis
travel
expenses
paid
for,
and
the
budget
in
which
the
shrap
activities
resides
is
generally
supported
by
the
general
fund.
So
it
we
think-
and
of
course
I've
been
in
my
position
for
two
years,
but
before
that
I
was
a
budget
person,
so
we
think
that
the
general
fund
probably
supported
these
de
minimis
expenditures,
which
is
not
exactly
a
correct
way
to
go
about
it.
So
that's.
A
Thank
you,
mr
freed.
I
appreciate
that
and
then
I
just
have
one
final
question.
It's
just
regarding
your
website.
I
notice
that
the
developer,
the
developer
for
the
division
of
state
libraries,
archives
and
public
records
website
isn't
the
division
of
eats,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
get
some
information.
Just
some
reasoning
behind
that
decision.
And
then,
if
there's
going
to
be
a
cost
of
difference
like
is
there
going
to?
Is
it
going
to
cost
more
or
is
there
going
to
be
a
savings
when
you
migrate
onto
the
eats
platform.
F
Right
so
as
as
we
recorded
yes,
it
was.
We
cannot
say
why
the
decision
was
made
to
get
an
outside
developer.
This
is
a
couple
of
nslapr
administrators
ago.
It's
not
my
preference
and,
of
course,
I
think
administrator
strom
and
I
both
agreed
that
we
would
prefer
to
migrate
with
the
new
content
management
system
that
beats
us
rolling
out.
Now
we're
going
to
migrate
to
eats
and
we're
going
to
have
eat
web
services
support
it.
F
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
miss
frieden.
I
know
I
said
I
had
one
last
question,
but
I
just
noticed
in
your
questionnaire
that
there
was
no
under
question
number
26.
The
board
wasn't
recommending
any
changes,
but
I
mean
under
the
nrs
you
guys
are
required
to
meet
three
times
a
year
and
since
2015
it's
been
what
five
years,
five
seven
seven
years,
wow
seven
years,
you
you've
been
unable
to
fulfill
that
nrs
requirement
to
me
three
times
a
year.
A
A
You
know
to
change
it
to
something
like
me
at
call
of
the
chair,
so
just
a
suggestion,
something
for
you
guys
to
think
about
before
our
subcommittee
ends,
because
we
will
make
recommendations
to
the
legislative
commission
and
that
can
be
a
requested
recommendation.
A
A
A
The
subcommittee
voted
to
recommend
the
board's
continuation
with
some
statutory
changes
in
2017
senate
bill.
72
was
enacted
by
the
legislature
to
incorporate
some
of
the
subcommittee's
recommendations.
Among
other
provisions.
Joining
us
are
director
freed,
welcome
back
miss
baker
and
mr
richardson
from
the
department
of
administration
to
discuss
the
board.
Miss
freed,
I'm
not
sure
if
you
want
to
start
us
off
and
I'd
love
to
hello
again,.
F
I
You
director
freed
my
name
is
frank:
richardson,
I'm,
the
administrator
of
the
division
of
human
resource
management
and
with
me
today
is
rachel
baker,
who
is
a
personnel
analyst
with
the
division
of
human
resource
management
and
the
merit
award
board
member.
I
Okay,
very
good,
so
the
merit
award
board
is
the
controlling
authority
of
the
good
government.
Great
employees
award.
The
program
was
created
way
back
in
1967
to
reward
employees
who
had
money-saving
ideas
that
they
could
contribute
to
the
productivity
of
nevada.
The
last
meeting
of
the
board
was
january,
23
2019.
I
I
Nrs
285030
limits
the
operating
expenses
of
the
meredith
ward
board
to
five
thousand
per
fiscal
year.
It
is
important
to
note
that
the
2021
2023
biennium,
the
governor
recommended
and
the
legislator
approved
zero
appropriations
for
the
merit
award
board
in
the
previous
two
biennium.
The
legislator
approved
minimal
operating
expenses
for
this
board
during
the
budget
reductions,
implementation
of
2020
and
2021,
the
operating
costs
for
the
merit
award
board
were
averted
to
general
funds,
leaving
only
funding
for
the
attorney
general
cost
allocation
payment
for
fy
2021..
I
A
A
I
And
I'll
let
rachel
baker
answer
this
question
frank
richardson
for
the
record.
I
am
not
sure
if
we've
made
that
request,
as
you
can
see,
there
are
no
funds
to
operate
this
program
at
this
time
and
it
might
be
moot
to
continue
on.
So
I'm
not
sure
if
those
requests
have
been
made
rachel.
I'm
going
to
pass
this
over
to
you.
C
Hi,
for
the
record,
my
name
is
rachel
baker,
I'm
a
personal
analyst
of
the
division
of
personnel,
human
resource
management.
Sorry
about
that
and
the
secretary
to
the
merit
award
board.
We
just
learned
of
askme's
appointment
or
representative,
and
we
know
that
the
budget
has
appointed
somebody,
but
we
do
not
know
who
that
is.
A
Okay,
so
the
office
of
so
so
the
office
of
finance
has
appointed
someone
and
then
the
there
has
been
an
appointment
by
afscme
or
their
representative
on
correct.
Just
recently
and
mr
richardson,
you
brought
up
you
just
created
a
new
question
for
me.
You
had
me
it
might
be
moot
to
appoint
these
two
positions
because
there
is
no
budget
for
them
to
meet.
But
how
long
do
these
positions?
A
How
long
does
each
term
for
one
of
these
positions
once
the
appointment's
made,
because
if
there
is
say
coming
into
2023
money
in
the
general
in
the
general
fund
to
get
to
provide
money
for
this
america
award?
Would
those
people
still
be
serving
or
will
there
need
to
be
new
appointments
made.
I
So
from
my
understanding
and
rachel
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
frank
richardson
for
the
record
apologize
for
that
they
would
still
be
serving
at
that
time.
Rachel
has
been
a
member
on
the
board
since
2016.
I
so
rachel.
If
you
could
maybe
elaborate
the
terms.
C
D
C
Started
in
the
position
about
2016.
we've
had
a
few
that
have
been
on
the
board
for
a
while,
due
to
turnover
change
of
administration,
their
terms
weren't
very
long.
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
specified
term
limit.
However,.
F
If
I
may,
this
is
laura
food
for
the
record
nrs285.
I
do
not
believe
specifies
a
term
of
service
for
this
particular
board,
unlike
so
many
other
boards
that
are
out
there
in
statute,
so
you
could
continually
you.
This
is
why
miss
baker
continues
to
serve,
and
this
is
why
the
governor's
finance
office
representative
usually
continues
to
serve
unless,
until
the
director
of
the
gfo
decides
to
change
that
person.
A
Okay,
perfect,
thank
you
so
much
and
then
just
just
one
last
question.
I
know
in
the
in
the
question
number
18
the
dates
of
the
immediately
proceeding
six
meetings.
You
listed
your
meeting
jenny
as
january
23rd
2019
as
your
last
meeting,
but
that
meeting
was
canceled
correct.
I
think
the
website
shows
it
as
a
cancelled
meeting.
A
D
The
man
of
chair-
you
know
I
I
was
wondering
about
this,
and
and
I'm
glad
it's
come
up
in
the
discussion,
but
I
I've
got
to
ask
the
question,
because
the
purpose
of
the
sunset
subcommittee,
of
course,
is
to
determine
whether
or
not
a
certain
entity
needs
to
continue.
There's
no
budget.
The
meeting
was
cancelled
because
of
lack
of
quorum.
D
I
F
Afraid
for
the
record,
you
know
senator
pickard
that
it's
a
really
salient
point.
You
know
if
you
look
at
the
history
of
the
suggestions
that
was
submitted
by
ms
baker
to
your
staff
ahead
of
the
meeting.
F
We've
had
very
very,
very
few
suggestions
over
the
years,
including
the
several
that
I've
looked
at
just
in
the
two
years,
plus
that
I've
been
the
director
that
the
directors
of
those
agencies
thought
were
implementable
and
demonstrated
a
real
cost
savings.
So
you
know
it's
one
of
those.
This
is
one
of
those
things
that
sounds
great,
but
it's
pretty
difficult
to
come
up
with
a
suggestion.
F
That's
really
easy
to
implement
demonstrates
a
cost
savings
and-
and
of
course
yes,
we
don't
have
any
money
to
give
an
employee
an
award,
even
if
they
reach
those
hurdles.
So
I
mean
you
know
we
yeah
it's
not
for
us
to
say
what
the
policy
should
be,
but
we
did
say
in
in
our
submission
that
you
know
if,
if
it
is
the
will
of
governor
and
the
legislature
not
to
fund
the
merit
award
board,
perhaps
we
should
align
the
statute
with
budget
realities
unless
there
is
a
desire
to
appropriate
for
the
future.
F
F
Well,
first
of
all,
you
know,
in
my
experience,
the
vast
majority
of
state
workers
believe
in
good
governance
and
aren't
here
for
the
money,
and
they
certainly
aren't
here
for
the
great
benefits
they're
here,
because
they
care
about
public
service.
F
D
Well,
and-
and
thank
you
for
your
candid
response-
I
I'm
glad
to
see
that
the
people
on
the
other
end
of
this
are
thinking
similar
to
what
that
was
crossing
my
mind.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
I
think
it's
wonderful,
that
we
recognize
the
successful
efforts
of
our
employees
and
I
know
having
been
attached
to
different
entities
different
organizations
over
the
years
they
do
it
anyway.
D
I
mean
they
always
come
up
with
a
way
of
identifying
their
key
people
and
and
rewarding
them.
Usually
it
means
everybody
pitches
in
20,
bucks
or
whatever
they
do
it
anyway,
and
so
you
you've
confirmed
in
my
mind
that
we
really
don't
need
this
board.
So
thank
you.
I
appreciate
that.
A
Assembly,
member
kasama
and
then
we
will
go
to
vice
chair
spearman.
I
saw
your
hand
just
come
up
by
sir.
C
I
I
think
probably
a
lot
of
it
has
been
answered
with
senator
pickard's
question
as
well,
but
I
was
just
wondering
when
was
the
last
time
we
actually
gave
an
award.
When
was
the
last
time
an
employee
knew
about
this
award
structure
and
somebody
in
a
department
even
knew
about
this,
and
it
went
through
the
process
and
somebody
actually
received
an
award.
I
I
was
going
to
frank
richardson
for
the
record.
I
was
going
to
pass
this
to
rachel
baker,
since
she
has
been
involved
with
the
board
since
2016.
like
mike
strom.
I've
been
in
this
role
for
about
eight
months,
and
the
merit
award
board
has
been
inactive
since
I've
taken
over
this
role
so
rachel.
If
you
could
tackle
this
one.
C
Morning
for
the
record
again,
rachel
baker.
During
my
time
we
have
not
awarded
any
of
the
employees,
I'm
not
entirely
sure
when
the
last
employee
was
given
an
award.
C
I
can
research
that
if
you
would
no,
no
that's
fine.
Okay,
I
believe.
A
Not
in
chair
this
is
yes,
I
believe
I
believe
that
was
one
of
the
attachments
on
the
agendas.
It
is
yeah,
if
you,
if
you
go
to
the
agenda
item,
three
exhibit
number
b2,
there's
45
pages
of
of
them
filling
out
their
form
and
then
the
second
to
the
last
up
before
the
organizational
structure
is
a
list
of
all
of
the
awards.
They've
they've
given
out
yeah,
okay,
okay,
vice
chair.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Just
a
couple
questions.
First
of
all,
who
knows
about
the
merit
program,
the
cost
savings.
I
Okay,
I
I
will
take
that
question
frank
richardson,
for
the
record.
I
don't
believe
we've
been
doing
any
outreach
since
the
program
has
been
in
limbo
and
you
bring
up
a
really
good
point.
I
think
these
programs,
when
they're
around
for
a
long
time,
become
stale
and
and
if
we
don't
continue
to
promote
them
most
of
the
employees
are
not
aware
that
this
is
going
on.
I
I
think
that
could
be
demoralizing
to
some
of
the
staff
and
they
may
have
given
up
on
the
program
over
time.
So
if
a
program
like
this
were
to
be
successful,
there
would
have
to
be
several
steps
along
the
way
to
recognize
that
employees
contribution,
even
if
there
isn't
a
cost
savings,
and
that
could
be
part
of
it
too.
H
Yes,
sir,
and
it
it
presupposes
my
second
question,
and
that
would
be
one
of
the
things
that
when
you
fill
out
a
when
you
fill
out
government
information
or
a
form
or
whatever
online
or
you
get
something
in
the
mail
email,
it
will
say
think
before
you
print
this.
If
you
don't
have
to
print
this,
then
don't
and
on
other
forms.
You'll
see
at
the
very
bottom.
H
H
I
had
a
bill
that
would
require
all
the
agencies
at
some
point
in
the
future,
and
I
can't
remember
exactly
what
data
was
but
to
make
sure
that
all
their
forms
were
available
online
and
other
information
was
available
online
and
after
after
asking
research
to
come
up
with
the
numbers
between
september
of
2012
and
february,
I
think
it
was
of
2013.
H
I
want
to
say
that
the
government
spent
in
excess
of
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
just
on
paper
stuff.
That's
paper,
that's
inc!
That's
you
know.
Processing,
that's
packaging,
that's
all
of
that
stuff.
So
the
federal
government
has
a
template
that
might
be
useful
in
this
process,
where
they
people
just
put
in
a
suggestion
and
whatever
department
that
it
goes
to
it
goes
there
and
they
look
at
it
figure
out.
Is
it?
Is
it
something
that
will
be
relevant
to
cost
savings?
H
And
then,
if
it
is
the
it's
the
result
or
it
is
the
it
is
the
requirement
of
that
department
to
then
get
back
to
the
person
and
say:
hey,
tell
me
more
about
this,
and
if
there
is
indeed
a
cost
savings,
I
believe
one
of
the
things
that
happens
is
there
is
a
percentage
of
the
cost
savings
that
is
allocated
to
the
program
and
then
then
goes
to
the
person
or
the
personnel
who
are
making
that
that
suggestion,
because
there
are
a
number
of
things
that
we
do
in
in
our
state
government,
that's
really
redundant.
H
If
we
were
meeting
in
person-
and
someone
was
looking
at
at
my
space
behind
my
name-
they
would
probably
not
see
any
binders
and
they
don't
see
any
binders,
because
I'm
not
doing
anything
with
them
and
so
that's
paper
and
that
that's
money
that
could
be
saved
and-
and
I
thought
about
it-
in
20
2013,
specifically,
because
we
were
asking
state
employees
to
take
photos
because
we
didn't
have
money,
and
so
sometimes
it's
not
about
how
much
money
you
spend
as
much
as
it
is
how
much
money
you
you
save.
H
When
I
was
a
company
commander,
I
had
a.
I
had
a
little
container.
This
is
before
we
had
internet
and
stuff
like
that,
but
I
had
a
little
container
there,
and
so
anybody
could
go
into
the
first
sergeant's
office
and
drop
a
suggestion
in
and
at
our
staff
meetings.
I
would
go
through
them
with
you
know,
with
the
other,
with
the
other
platoon
leaders,
etc,
and
so
that
may
be
one
of
the
things
that
we
can
do.
H
We
may
be
trying
to
do
this
more
convoluted
than
it
really
needs
to
be,
but
if
we
could
go
to-
and
I'm
looking
here
at
the-
I
think
it's
the
federal
statute,
it's
242.43
I'll
I'll,
give
it
I'll
give
it
to
miss
reedy
and
make
sure
that
it's
in
the
in
the
chat.
H
But
but
there
are
certainly
other
things,
and
there
are
other
states
that
are
doing
this
as
well,
and
it's
not
as
cumbersome
so
really
really
we're
talking
about
what
someone
putting
in
an
idea
sending
it
to
who
whoever
it
goes
to
whatever
department
he
goes
to
whatever
agency.
Let
them
evaluate.
If
there
is
indeed
a
cost
savings,
then
it
comes
back
to
the
committee
in
email
form
and
not
paper
and
and
then
going
through
the
whole
process.
We
can
do
that
electronically.
H
H
If
we
want
to
touch
the
paper
and
fill
the
paper
and
smell
the
e,
you
know
so
so
there
are
ways
that
we
can
do
this
that
I
think,
are
not
quite
as
cumbersome
and
I'm
I'm
happy
to
discuss
that
if,
if
that's
something
that
you
all
are
are
interested
in,
but
but
making
sure
that
it
should
be
on
the
website,
every
agency
could
have
on
their
website.
If
there
are
are
suggestions
for
cost
savings.
H
Please
click
on
this
link
or
please
send
this
to
whomever,
and
then
someone,
someone
or
someone's
get
that
information
send
it
out
to
whatever
agency
is,
is
recommended
for
and
then
let
them
handle
it.
So
you
don't
need
you
don't
need
15
people
in
the
committee
sitting
around.
You
know
some
of
any
meaning
mighty
mode
you
just
here's.
This
is
the
committee
that
he
goes
to.
You
all
take
a
look
at
this.
H
Let
us
know
if
this
is
going
to
present
cost
savings
and
make
sure
that
we
make
a
big
deal
out
of
if
it
is
make
a
big
deal
out
of
the
person
or
the
people
who
suggested
that,
because
then
that
becomes
more
incentive
and
the
more
we
can
save
in
state
government.
I
think
the
more
the
more
cost
efficient
we
can
be
when
it
comes
to
salaries
when
it
comes
to
purse.
H
When
it
comes
to
a
lot
of
things
that
you
know,
state
workers
give
up
they
give
up
because
we
don't
have
the
money,
but
if
we
can
save
the
money,
pull
that
back
in
and
then
reallocate
it
in
those
areas
that
will
benefit
the
people
who
are
committed
because
of
public
service.
You
know
you
shouldn't
have
to
take
about
poverty,
just
do
public
service,
and
that's
all
I'm
saying
and
I'll
stop
there.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Vice
chair,
okay,
miss
freedom,
mr
richardson.
It
doesn't
look
like
we
have
any
other
questions
from
the
committee.
I
do
appreciate
you
guys
being
here
with
us
today.
Thank
you
for
your
presentation.
A
Welcome,
okay
committee
members.
The
next
entity
we
are
going
to
be
reviewing
is
the
subcommittee
on
patient
centered
medical
homes,
which
is
a
subcommittee
of
the
advisory
council
on
the
state
program
for
wellness
and
the
prevention
of
chronic
disease.
This
subcommittee
has
not
been
previously
reviewed
by
the
sunset
subcommittee
and
I
believe
we
have
miss
lilly
heltzer.
The
second
section
manager
here
with
us
to
discuss
the
work
of
the
subcommittee,
ms
helser.
D
D
I
A
Okay,
I
do
have
a
couple
questions.
Miss
helser.
Can
you
walk
us
through
some
of
those
successes,
because
I
was
looking
at
the
responses
that
you
guys
said,
and
it
said
I
mean
it
said
that
there
hadn't
really
been
any
successes
because
you
guys
were
unable
to
meet
quorum
until
you
guys
weren't
meeting,
and
so
could
you
walk
us
through
what
some
of
those
successes
that
you
guys
had
accomplished
during
2017
through
2019
were.
D
Some
of
those
successes
were
the
identification
of
other
state
efforts,
including
oregon
new
york
michigan,
and
what
they
were
doing
with
patient-centered
medical
homes,
but
for
each
of
those
other
state
efforts
that
was
identified,
it
was
also
identified
what
the
challenge
to
implementing
a
similar
model
would
be
in
nevada,
including
the
medical
transformation
process
is
expensive
and
burdensome
cost
of
recognition
to
become
a
patient-centered
medical
home
is
quite
steep,
and
the
cost
of
additional
staff
needed
to
be
a
patient-centered
medical
home
is
prohibitive.
D
Despite
that,
all
of
those
challenges
there
being
little
to
no
incentive,
in
particular
about
half
of
the
clinics
in
nevada
today
are
patient-centered
medical
homes,
almost
all
of
our
fq
fqhcs,
either
our
patient
medical
homes
or
becoming
a
patient-centered
medical
home,
and
they
do
this,
even
though
there's
not
really
a
lot
of
incentive,
they
do
it
just
because
they
recognize
the
value
and
the
increased
improvement
in
patient
outcomes.
D
So
those
were
just
some
of
the
things
that
were
identified,
but
ultimately
it
was
felt
like.
Well,
we
studied
the
environment
and
you
know
the
committee
cannot
really
change
the
environment
on
its
own.
That,
combined
with
the
continuing
problems
establishing
forum
just
resulted
in
the
eventual
dissolution
of
the
committee.
A
Okay
and
just
actually
I'm
going
to
go
to
okay,
just
one
quick
question,
because
I
know
that
the
department
of
public
and
behavioral
health
has
identified
several
barriers
to
the
entry
of
becoming
a
certified
patient
center
for
medical
home,
a
lot
of
the
same
ones
that
you
just
went
over.
But
do
you
think
that
a
study
of
the
healthcare
through
patient-centered
medical
homes
is
still
necessary?
Do
you
think
that
a
study
is
necessary?
A
D
Believe
that
you
know
not
just
me,
but
also
having
spoken
to
the
advisor
committee
on
chronic
disease
and
wellness
prevention,
which
oversaw
patients
under
medical
homes,
the
there
hasn't
really
been
any
changes
in
the
environment
that
would
warrant
any
new
study
or
that
would
successfully
move
these
efforts
along.
A
Okay,
perfect
and
then
okay,
and
then
I
did
see
that
you
guys
do
recommend
dissolution,
but
you
guys
have
already
you
guys
have
already
dismantled
the
committee.
Correct
correct,
solve
the
committee.
Okay,
perfect,
okay!
Well,
do
we
have
any
other
questions
for
ms
heltzer.
A
I'm
gonna
do
one
quick
last
check:
okay,
perfect!
Well,
thank
you
so
much
to
miss
heltzer.
I
know
that
there
that
the
statue
authorizing
the
creation
of
the
subcommittee
is
not
mandatory.
So
the
only
thing
we
would
you
know
we
could
do
is
just
that
to
really
changed
the
authority
to
create
the
subcommittee,
but
since
it's
already
been
dissolved,
then
thank
you.
Okay.
Thank
you,
ms
helser.
We
appreciate
you
being
here
with
us
today.
A
A
This
committee
has
not
been
reviewed
by
the
sunset
subcommittee.
I
believe
we
have
miss
biddleston
and
dr
rice
with
us
here,
dr
rice,
from
the
division
of
child
and
family
services.
To
present,
do
we?
Oh
there
we
are.
I
just
saw
you
turn
your
face.
Hi,
dr
rice.
Thank
you
for
joining
us.
Do
we
also
have
miss
biddleston?
A
Okay
there?
She
is,
I
just
know:
okay,
dr
eisenstein,
I'm
not
sure
who
wants
to
start
off,
but
when
you're
ready
just
an
overview
of
the
advisory
commission,
and
then
we
will
move
forward
with
questions
from
the
members.
I
do
I
just
if
you
could,
while
you're
giving
your
overview,
if
you
would
just
go
over
to
the
committee,
why
you
guys
submitted
two,
because
I
see
that
you
submitted
one
for
the
juvenile
justice
advisory
committee,
but
you
also
submitted
one
of
the
review
forms
for
the.
A
C
Thank
you
so
much.
I
appreciate
it.
This
is
dr
dominic
rice
for
the
record,
with
the
vision
of
child
and
family
services,
I'm
the
deputy
administrator
of
quality
and
oversight,
and
I
am
four
months
in
so
this
is
very
new.
E
Good
morning,
leslie
biddleston
for
the
record,
I
am
oh,
I
am
the
chief
of
juvenile
services
within
the
division
of
child
and
family
services.
I
am
the
primary
staff
person
to
the
juvenile
justice
oversight
commission
and
to
the
advisory
commission,
so
I'm
here
for
questions
or
to
help
dominique,
if
necessary.
Thank.
C
You
thank
you.
I
appreciate
it
so
our
initial
submission
of
our
juvenile
justice
oversight-
commission,
as
well
as
the
juvenile
justice
advisory
commission
of
committee,
was
submitted
in
an
effort
to
kind
of
tie
together
the
request
of
ab472
and
meeting
the
requirements
associated
with
ab472.
C
C
This
ties
into
the
juvenile
justice,
as
the
juvenile
justice
advisory
commission
was
developed
to
provide
over
well
not
oversight
but
recommendations
to
jjoc,
which
is
the
juvenile
justice
oversight.
Commission.
I
will
turn
it
over
to
lindsay
to
give
more
detailed
information
about
each
one
of
those
committees
that
she
oversees.
E
Thank
you,
dr
rice,
leslie
biddleston
for
the
record,
so
the
juvenile
justice
oversight,
commission
and
the
juvenile
justice
advisory
board
was
established
as
part
of
ab472
signed
into
law
in
2017..
E
E
E
They
just
attended
the
juvenile
justice
oversight
commission
boards.
I
also
have
to
say
that
no
appropriations
came
for
either
one
of
these
boards,
the
juvenile
justice
oversight,
commission
or
the
advisory
board.
So
the
terms
of
each
board
or
each
entity
is
two
years
they
are
governor
appointed
and
members
that
are
appointed
may
reapply
if
they
so
choose.
E
So
some
members
on
the
juvenile
justice
oversight
commission
have
served
almost
three
terms
now
so
going
back
to
the
advisory
board,
all
six
positions
were
originally
filled.
However,
only
two
members
of
those
advisory
committee
appointees
attended
the
jjoc
and
when
their
terms
were
over
at
two
years,
they
stopped
attending
and
we
have
not
had
any
new
advisory
members
appointed
by
the
governor
or
anybody
attending
any
meetings
in
more
than
two
years
now.
A
Thank
you,
miss
fiddleston
members.
Before
we
get
started
with
questions,
I
do
want
to
remind
everyone
that
the
zoom
chat
is
specifically
only
to
be
used
for
technical
assistance
from
bps.
Thank
you,
miss
middleton
and
dr
rice.
Okay,
I'm
going.
I
do
have
some
questions
for
you
and
before
I
go
to
the
committee
members
for
questions,
ms
middleton,
I
do,
and
maybe
you
can
help
clarify
so
when
ab472
was
passed
and
the
jjc
was
was
replaced
by
the
jjoc.
A
I
know
that
the
jjc
and
the
state
advisory
group
had
access
to
fifteen
thousand
dollars.
I
believe
was
annually
for
for
grants.
Correct
now
did
that
carry
over
with
ab472
and
the
establishment
of
the
jjoc
and
the
new
advisory
group
did
do
those
two
groups
still
have
access
to
that
fifteen
thousand
dollar
federal
grant.
When
I
read
the
material
I
just
I
just
wasn't
clear.
E
Leslie
biddleston
for
the
record.
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
the
question,
so
to
explain
that
fifteen
thousand
dollars
I
have
to
provide
a
little
bit
of
history.
The
state
of
nevada
has
participated
in
the
juvenile
justice
delinquency
prevention
act
since
about
the
mid-1980s.
That
is
a
federal
act
along
with
participating
in
the
federal
act.
E
E
E
So
when
ab472
was
signed
into
law
and
the
jjoc
was
created,
the
governor
at
that
time
wrote
an
executive
order
which
I
can
provide
to
the
committee,
if
necessary,
but
that
executive
order
formally
disbanded
the
jjoc
and
moved
those
duties
to
the
jjoc,
therefore
allowing
the
jjoc
to
have
that
15
000.
E
A
Okay,
perfect,
thank
you
so
much.
I
thought
just
wanted
to
make
sure
I
read
it
exactly
like
you
explained,
so
I
do
appreciate
that
I'm
gonna
go
to
the
committee
members
for
questions
before
I
go.
I
ask
my
couple
of
questions
committee
members:
do
you
have
any
questions
for
miss
middleton
or
dr
rice
assembly,
member
kasama.
C
E
For
the
record
leslie
biddleston
for
the
record,
yes,
the
juvenile
justice
oversight,
commission
would
function
fine
without
the
advisory
committee,
and
I
think
it's
important
to
note
that
the
juvenile
justice
oversight
commission
are
voting
members.
All
of
the
members
do
have
a
vote.
However.
The
advisory
group
were
non-voting,
so
they
were
unable
to
vote
on
anything.
They
could
provide
recommendations,
but
it
was
actually
the
juvenile
justice
oversight,
commission
that
was
responsible
for
all
of
the
decisions.
A
Okay,
I
do
have
a
couple
dr
rice
and
miss
middleton.
Now
I
know
I
sat
in
judiciary
in
2017
and
I
know
I
remember
that
dcfs
had
actually
proposed
the
amendment
to
create
the
advisory
group
so
that
there
would
be
a
separation
of
powers
brock.
So
can
you
I
mean?
Can
you
tell
me
a
little
bit
about?
I
mean
why
the
why
they
were
why
they
would
meet
together
if
the
the
intention
of
the
advisory
group
was
always
to
kind
of
be
an
advisory
group
and
have
that
kind
of
separation.
E
Leslie
biddleston
for
the
record.
Unfortunately,
I
do
not
know
the
answer
to
that.
I
was
not
part
of
the
planning
piece
of
the
establishment
of
the
jjoc
or
the
or
the
advisory
board,
but
what
I
can
tell
you
is
what
happened
after
ab472
was
was
enacted,
that
there
were
no
separate
meetings
for
the
advisory
board
and
they
were
just
included
with
the
overall
juvenile
justice
commission.
A
Okay,
I
think
I
mean
knowing
what
the
intent
was
right
and
knowing
what
actually
happened,
I
think
there
I
mean
it
sounds
like
the
advisory
group
wasn't
acting
in
the
manner
in
which
it
was
intended
to
act
right
there
was
supposed
to
be.
There
was
concerns
from
the
department
of
child
and
family
services
about
a
separation
of
power,
so
maybe
bringing
them
in
to
figure
out
how
we
can
you
know
instead
of
terminate
termination
right
is.
Is
there
a
function
for
that
advisory
group?
So
is
there
a
responsibility
that
it's
supposed
to
execute?
A
E
Middleton
for
the
record:
no,
there
is
no
federal
requirement
to
have
an
advisory
commission
or
board
to
the
overall
juvenile
justice
oversight
commission,
but
I
also
do
want
to
point
out
something.
That's
extremely
important
is
the
makeup
of
the
juvenile
justice
oversight.
Commission,
as
it
is
currently
written
in
nrs,
62
b600
does
not
meet
the
requirements
of
the
federal
state
advisory
group
there.
E
There
are
some
different
conflicting
requirements
within
those.
I
did
not
provide
any
information
on
on
where
there
are
discrepancies,
but
I
can,
if,
if
necessary,
so
I
just.
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
the
advisory
board
is
not
required
federally,
but
what
is
required
federally
is
not
necessarily
what
is
in
our
state
statute.
A
Would
you
be
able
to
send
that
send
that
to
us
to
our
committee,
our
research,
analyst
and
legal
counsel
for
the
committee
so
that
they
could
share
that
with
all
of
us
on
the
committee,
ms
middleton,
where
those
conflicts
are
between
our
federal
requirements.
E
Yeah
leslie
biddleston
for
the
record,
if
I
know
who
to
send
it
to,
I
would
be
happy
because
I
don't
know
who
your
analyst
is,
but
I
would
be
happy
to
send
that
information.
A
Okay,
well
today
we
have
miss
jennifer
rudy
sitting
with
us,
and
so
I
will
make
sure
that
she
reaches
out
to
you.
Okay
and
then
I
do
have
a
a
couple
of
other
questions.
So
I
kind
of
answered
one
one
of
them
already
right.
If
there
was
there
would
be
any
impact
if
we
do
repeal
the
advisory
committee,
but
the
the
the
second
question
I
have
is
you
have
mentioned
that
there
was
difficulty
in
securing
funding.
I'm
looking
at
the
forum
for
the
advisory
committee.
Can
you
can
you
explain
why.
E
That's
the
lesson
for
the
record.
No,
I
cannot
explain
why.
So
when
ab472
was
signed
into
law
in
2017,
there
was
a
large
appropriation.
I
believe
it
was.
E
E
It
was
to
bring
the
state
and
the
county
entities
up
to
speed
on
a
more
current
juvenile
justice
case
management
system.
It
was
to
implement
a
quality
assurance
review
process,
so
all
of
the
funds
went
towards
initial
implementation.
Another
thing
was
the
jjoc,
the
juvenile
justice
oversight
commission
hired
a
vendor
to
create
their
five-year
strategic
plan.
So
those
are
what
all
of
those
startup
costs
were
for.
There
were
no
no
sustainable
costs
going
forward
for
anything,
so
states
and
the
state
and
the
counties
had
to
absorb
all
of
those
ongoing
costs.
E
For
example,
there
was
an
ongoing
cost
to
use
the
selected
risk
of
needs
assessment.
We
pay.
Currently,
I
believe
it's
20
000
annually
to
to
use
a
validated
risk
and
needs
assessment.
So
so,
while
there
were
startup
funds,
there
was
nothing
in
that
appropriation
for
any
type
of
sustainability
to
include
the
jjoc
or
the
advisory
board.
E
Listen
middleston
for
the
record,
so
if,
if
we
had
or
let
me
let
me
back
up
the
federal
funding
available
to
this
group
is
the
title
ii
formula
funds.
We
can
only
provide
15
000
out
of
that
formula,
grant
fund
to
support
any
type
of
state
advisory
group
or
anything
like
that.
The
formula
grant
funds
historically
over
probably
the
last
six
years,
have
been
between
three
hundred
and
ninety
five
thousand
and
five
hundred
thousand
dollars.
That
is
an
annual
amount.
E
E
A
Okay,
thank
you
and
I
promise
one
last
question
for
me:
miss
middleston,
but
I
do
see
that
our
reister
has
raised
from
hand
so,
and
that
was
a
perfect
segue
into
my
next
question,
because
I
know
dcfs
has
stated
that
the
commission
has
not
been
able
to
qualify
for
the
federal
grant
because
of
the
statutory
membership
makeup.
A
Is
this
what
you
were
explaining
earlier
that
there
was
conflict
within
our
statute
and
what
was
required
by
the
by
federal,
to
give
us
funding
federal
government
to
give
us
funding
under
that
title
ii
formula
grant,
or
is
this
completely
separate
because
I
know
if
we
need
to
make
membership
changes?
That's
what
our
set
subcommittee
is
here
for
to
give
recommendations.
So
do
you
know,
is
that
what
you
were
referring
to,
or
is
this
separate.
E
Leslie
middleton
for
the
record.
So
when
I
talk
about
federal
funding,
I'm
only
talking
about
the
title
to
formula
grant
funds.
E
The
piece
that
we
were
missing
at
that
time
was
a
licensed
clinician,
so
we
were
able
to
fill
that
role
with
a
private
licensed
commission
eventually
when
a
position
came
open.
But
to
be
perfectly
odd
honest,
madam
chair,
it
is
a
struggle
to
to
meet
those
federal
requirements,
especially
when
we
have
vacancies
our
biggest
problem.
To
be
perfectly
honest,
is
we
have
too
many
government
employees,
and
so
the
state
advisory
group
federal
requirements
require
a
portion
of
the
public?
Maybe
a
parent
of
a
a
member
in
the
in
the
system.
A
E
Federally
leslie
biddleston
for
the
record.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
believe
when
I
provide
the
written
material
comparing
the
statute
with
federal
requirements.
That
will
answer
your
question.
So
yes,
I
I
it's
hard
to
explain,
but
once
I
provide
those
written
materials,
I
believe
you
will
have
that
answer.
A
Thank
you
so
much
miss
fiddleston
and
committee
members
we'll
make
sure
that
those
are
shared
with
everyone
on
the
committee.
That
was
it
for
me,
mrs
middleton.
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
our
vice
chair.
I
see
her
hand
is
up
bye,
sir.
H
But
the
the
whole
purpose
of
that
legislation
was
to
make
sure
that,
and
I
think
it
was
housed
in
the
office
of
government
govern
government
administration
to
look
and
find
grant
opportunities
that
where
we
were
probably
leaving
money
on
the
table
so
that
we
might
be
able
to
maximize
that
with
whatever
matching
fund.
So
that
may
be.
That
may
be
an
answer,
may
not
be
the
answer,
but
that
may
be
part
of
the
answer
to
make
sure
that
we
have.
What
am
I
whatever
monies
are
available?
H
I
know
that
there
are
several
programs
in
in
the
federal
government
now
that
are
designed
to
to
in
the
tide
of
school
to
prison
pipeline,
and
there
are
also
a
number
of
grant
opportunities
available
in
robert
woods
foundation
and
some
others
out
there
that
are
looking
at
making
sure
we
are
investing
in
our
children
before
they
what
they
wind
up
in
the
system.
H
So
take
a
look
at
ab445
and,
as
I
said
before,
it's
it's
codified
in
chapter
545
and
it
was
a
bill
that
was
that
was
carried
out
by
a
sim
woman.
Monroe
moreno,
yeah
445
is
the.
Is
the
bill
number?
Okay?
That's
all.
A
Thank
you
vice
chair
committee,
members
last
call.
A
Okay,
thank
you
so
much
miss
fiddleston
and
dr
rice
for
being
here
with
us
today.
We
appreciate
all
the
information
look
forward
to
the
information
you'll
be
sending
over
okay
committee
members.
That
brings
us
to
our
last
entity
that
we
are
reviewing
today,
which
is
the
medical
laboratory
advisory
committee.
A
This
committee
has
never
been
reviewed
by
the
sunset
subcommittee,
presenting
for
the
committee
is
mr
wubbels
from
the
division
of
public
and
behavioral
health.
Mr
wapples,
thank
you
so
much
for
joining
us
when
you're
ready,
please
a
brief
overview
of
the
committee,
and
then
we
will
go
to
the
committee
members
for
questions.
C
Good
morning,
madam
chair
and
members
and
guests
I'm
joined
today
by
cody
finney,
and
I
would
like
to
have
her
introduce
herself
this
morning.
First.
B
C
Good
morning,
members
and
guests,
my
name
is
brad
wakeles
and
I
am
the
acting
manager
for
medical
laboratory
services
for
the
state
of
nevada
and
I'm
here
today
to
respond
to
the
importance
of
the
medical
laboratory
advisory
committee.
That's
found
in
nrs652.
A
I
could,
if
you
could
get
closer
to
your
microphone,
I'm
not
sure
if
anyone
else
was
experiencing
it,
but
I
had.
I
couldn't
hear
your
remarks.
C
Thank
you,
okay.
So
the
advisory
committee,
which
consists
of
physicians
phds
with
specialty
knowledge
in
their
area
of
expertise,
laboratory
directors
and
medical
technologists
who
offer
insight
to
the
fast
evolving
technology
of
medical
laboratory
testing,
can
help
to
find
a
balance
between
regulation
and
community
and
state
need.
A
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair
brad,
waffles
for
the
record.
Yes,
I
we
had
personnel
changes
right
before
the
pandemic
started
in
2020
exactly
two
years
ago
today
and
in
the
during
this
time,
we
found
that
there
was
necessary
regulation
update
in
which
we'd
like
to
have
the
committee
to
be
part
of
since
the
personnel
changed.
I
can't
really
speculate
as
to
the
reason
why
that
there
was
weren't
any
meetings
with
the
medical
laboratory
advisory
committee.
C
B
Madam
chair,
if
I
may
yes,
miss
manny,
please
cody
finney
for
the
record.
I
would
just
add
to
what
mr
waffles
indicated
that
the
division
appreciates
being
having
this
brought
to
our
attention.
We
do
feel
that,
having
that
expertise
from
the
medical
laboratory
community
in
a
formal
way
to
help
us
make
sure
that
those
regulations
we're
proposing,
are
appropriate
and
not
overly
burdensome
or
missing
any
anything
that
we
need
to
do
to
protect
the
safety
of
the
public
is
very
important.
The
staff
had
maintained
an
active
membership,
but
we
did.
B
A
Thank
you,
mr
indian.
I
do
that
leads
me
to
a
good
question,
because
I
know
that
there
is
no
requirement
for
you
guys
to
meet
periodically.
So
I
mean
that
is
a
recommendation.
We
can
give
that
we
require,
since
you
guys,
value
the
input
and
you
think
it's
valuable
right-
the
input
from
the
and
the
industry.
A
We
could
recommend
a
requirement
that
the
board
regularly
meets
at
least
once
a
year,
because
I
understand
you
know
after
2020
why
maybe
there
was
no
meetings
from
2020
to
2022,
where
you
guys
found
that
it
would
have
been
helpful
to
have
meetings,
but
there
was
a
four
year
period
from
2016
to
2020,
where
the
committee
also
did
not
meet,
for
you
know
any
reason.
A
So
if,
if
the
contributions
it,
if
the
contributions
that
they
give
the
committee
gives
are
valuable,
one
of
the
recommendations
we
could
make
to
the
legislative
commission
is
for
periodic
meetings
by
the
committee.
Is
that
something
that
you
that
you
would
be
interested
in.
B
Cody
finney
for
the
record,
I'm
certain
that
the
requirement
for
an
annual
meeting
would
align
with
with
our
recommendations,
for
what
is
needed
and
certainly
would
defer
to
mr
waples
if
he
has
any
additional
information
or
a
different
periodicity
that
he
perceives
is
helpful,
since
he
is
our
true
medical
labs
expert.
C
Red
wapels
for
the
record.
Yes,
I
agree
with
what
cody
said
in
that
is.
We
would
be
happy
to
to
do
once
a
year
and
have
that
as
part
of
the
statute.
We
also
have
bylaws
in
which,
while
we're
we're
going
to
be
presenting
to
the
committee
for
revision
because
of
the
need
to
do
so,.
A
Thank
you,
mr
whipless,
and
miss
finney.
I
do
have
a
question
for
you
from
our
senator
senator
lang
when
you're
ready.
Thank
you.
C
On
your
seven
member
board,
do
you
have
all
those
people
appointed
already?
C
I
guess
it's
an
eight
member
board,
but
are
all
those
people
appointed
already,
and
I
asked
that
question
because
in
listening
about
boards
over
the
last
year,
it
seems
to
be
that
people
can't
get
people
to
fill
their
boards,
and
I
know
that
you're
bored
in
looking
at
the
detail
is
pretty
specific
on
the
who
the
members
have
to
be.
So.
Are
you
having
any
trouble
filling
your
board.
C
Thank
you
for
the
record.
Thank
you
senator
for
that
question.
So
we
are
not
currently
having
any
issues.
We
do
have
one
vacant
position
currently
for
a
medical
technologist,
but
all
of
the
other
positions,
the
va
all
the
other
physicians
and
committee
members
are
still
good
until
the
end
of
this
year.
A
A
Okay,
thank
you
so
much.
We
appreciate
you
being
here
with
us
this
morning
and
for
your
presentation
and
for
filling
out
the
forms.
Thank
you,
okay.
Committee
members,
that
moves
us
on
to
our
next
agenda
item
agenda.
Item
four:
this
next
order
of
business
is
to
select
two
new
boards
and
commissions
to
replace
two
entities
that
were
identified
as
repealed
or
expired.
After
our
january
26
meeting,
we
had
made
that
selection
of
boards
and
commissions
to
review
as
we
were
getting
ready.
A
We
realized
that
two
of
those
have
already
been
repealed
and
eliminated,
and
those
two
boards
are
the
board
of
review
for
the
division
of
state
lands,
state
department
of
conservation
and
natural
resources.
It
was
repealed
by
section
14
of
assembly
bill
378
during
the
2021
legislative
session.
The
next
was
the
advisory
committee
on
transportational
storm
water
management
of
the
department
of
conservation
and
natural
resources.
A
So
members,
when
you
received
your
agenda
and
your
meeting
material
for
this
meeting,
we
included
again
as
one
of
the
meeting
materials,
the
list
of
boards
and
committees
that
we
were
going
to
review
this
interim.
The
next
attachment
was
a
list
of
all
of
the
boards
commissions
and
similar
entities
that
exist
for
review.
A
I
know
that
I
had
identified
a
couple
that
we
could
possibly
review,
but
I
want
to
open
it
up
to
the
subcommittee
members
first
to
see
if
there
is
any
boards
that
you
would
like
to
see
added
to
the
list
vice
chair.
I
know
you
weren't
with
us
that
very
first
meeting,
so
I
would
like
I
want
to
reach
out
to
you
too,
to
make
sure
that
maybe
we
did
not
include
any
board
commissioner
similar
entity
that
you
had
interest
in
reviewing
and
coming
before
us.
This
interim.
A
So
you
guys,
I
will
give
you
a
couple
of
minutes
to
go
through
that
that
item
on
the
in
the
meeting
materials
to
see,
if
there's
any
boards,
that
you
would
like
to
select
so
we'll
give
you
till
about
10
30
and
if
not,
I
would
like
to
make
some
recommendations.
D
I'm
chair
just
so
I'm
clear:
this
is
keith
pickard
for
the
record,
the
list
that
was
on
the
agenda
as
item
4b,
that's
the
list
we're
choosing
from
is
that
correct.
A
Let
me
go
to
the
committee
subcommittee's
meeting
page.
I
have
it
up.
One
second
senator
pickard,
and
I
will
tell
you
so
in
under
meeting
material
if
you
scroll
to
the
very
bottom.
There's
agenda,
item
4a
and
agenda
item
4b
agenda
item
4a
is
the
master
list
of
all
boards
committees
and
similar
entities
agenda
item
4b
is
the
selected
committees
that
we
selected
at
our
january
26th
meeting
so
that
you
can
cross-reference.
A
D
Okay,
and
so
4b
includes
the
two
boards
that
you
just
mentioned,
but
otherwise
these
are
the
ones
that
we
discussed
last
time.
Is
that
correct,
correct,
okay
and
what
I
don't
see
are
the
two
boards
that
we
discussed
the,
and
can
you
remind
me
what
we
did
with
those.
A
A
Having
them
present
on
our
selection
since
the
areas
where
we
had
concerns
on
our
january
26
meeting,
we
are
having
them
come
before
us
and
specifically
address
those
concerns,
those
those
areas
of
concern
not
so
much
the
form
question,
since
we
just
reviewed
those,
but
we
will
have
the
barber's
board
and
the
board
of
homeo.
D
The
homeopathic
homeopaths,
yes,
okay,
perfect,
and
I
apologize
for
not
remembering,
but
yes
now
that
you
mention
it.
I
do
recall
so
thank
you
for
that.
Yes,.
A
Okay
and
committee
members,
while
you
guys
look
at
that,
just
I
identified
two
actually
identified
four
boards
that
I
thought
would
be
great
for
review
the
board
to
review
claims
which
is
commonly
referred
to
as
the
board
to
review
petroleum
fund
claims
that
was
established
in
2015.
A
That
has
never
been
reviewed
by
the
sunset
supplement
committee.
Also,
there
was
a
board
that
hadn't
been
reviewed
in
six
years:
the
advisory
committee
on
participatory
democracy.
It
does
look
like
they
regularly
meet
both
of
those
boards
do,
but
that
board
was
established
in
2003
and
hadn't
been
reviewed
since
2014.
So
just
one
of
the
reasons
they
came
across
as
an
interesting
commit
committee
boards
to
review,
since
they
hadn't
been
reviewed
in
five
to
six
years.
Two
of
the
other
boards.
A
I
have
thought
about
reviewing
and
I
would
like
to
review
this
together.
If
it's,
you
know,
if
the
committee
decides
to
go
this
way,
but
the
nevada
taxi
cab
authority
and
also
the
nevada
transportation
authority.
Both
of
those
were
also
reviewed
over
six
years
ago,
and
so
I
know
that
out
of
those
four,
we
can
select
two
any
preference
from
the
committee.
H
Yeah,
I
I
think
the
taxi
cab
authority.
I
know
I
hear
quite
frequently
that
there
should
probably
be
some
type
of
review
in
terms
of
oversight,
so
I
think
that's
probably
what
I've
heard
enough
people
ask
me
that
question
that
I
think
that
would
be
a
legitimate
request.
H
A
Vice
chair
well
vice
chair
since
you're,
since
you
feel
about
a
taxi
cab
authority.
If
we
review
that
one,
I
would
like
to
review
the
nevada
transportation
authority
with
that
one
together.
So
if
the
committee
members
are
okay
with
replacing
the
two
committees
that
were
already
repealed,
that
were
chosen
in
our
january
26
meeting
with
the
nevada
taxi
cab
authority
and
the
nevada
transportation
authority,
I
would
accept
a
motion
so
move.
I
have
a
motion
by
vice
chair.
Do
I
have
a
second
second?
A
Okay,
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
I
you
can
just
raise
your
hand,
so
I
can
see
everyone.
Okay,
perfect.
It
looks
like
that
passes
unanimously,
so
we
will
add
the
those
two
committees
to
our
review.
Okay,
hey
committee
members.
That
actually
brings
us
to
our
last
agenda
item,
which
is
our
second
round
of
public
comments.
A
I
would
like
to
remind
everyone
that
we
do
keep
public
comment
to
three
minutes
so
that
everyone
interested
in
speaking,
has
an
opportunity
to
do
so.
I
would
like
to
remind
everyone
that
there
is
the
four
methods
to
submit
public
comment.
You
can
call
in
you
can
fax
in
your
public
comment,
you
can
email,
your
public
comment
and
you
can
mail
in
your
public
comment
with
that.
I
would
like
to
turn
it
over
to
our
bps
to
see
if
there
was
anyone
waiting
on
the
line
to
make
public
comments.
A
A
A
I
will
see
you
guys
in
march
for
our
third
meeting.
Thank
you.
So
much
have
a
wonderful
day.
We
are
adjourned.
