That's

thank

welcome
director
montooth
we're
we're
getting
it
all
together
here.
G
What
we
do
so
the
Nevada
Indian
commission
was
created
in
1965
for
over
50
years.
Strong.
The
goal
of
our
agency
is
to
improve
the
quality
of
life
for
the
28
tribal
Nations
bands
colonies.
That
now
are
in
what
we
call
Nevada.
We
also
serve
62
000,
self-identified,
Native,
American
Indians.
Those
are
tribal
citizens
who
do
not
live
on
their
reservation
lands
but
choose
to
live
in
urban
areas.
G
G
Here's
the
nitty-gritty,
so
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
serving
the
state
of
Nevada
for
nearly
three
years.
Basically,
we
operate
our
agency
powered
by
five
people
and
until
the
end
of
last
year
we
operate
on
about
six
hundred
thousand
dollars.
That
not
only
includes
the
administrative
side
of
the
Nevada
Indian
commission,
but
it
also
includes
the
operation
of
the
gem,
the
heart
of
the
Stuart
Indian
school.
We
opened
doors
to
our
Cultural,
Center
and
museum
just
over
three
years
ago,
and
we've
already
had
over
10
000
visitors
and
that
has
taken
place
despite
covid.
G
What
really
looks
different
in
this
pie
chart
took
place
just
a
couple
months
ago.
I
think
I
was
sitting
in
this
very
seat
when
I
had
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
some
of
your
colleagues
about
a
transfer
of
funds.
The
Nevada
Indian
commission
was
successful
in
attaining
securing
I
should
say:
20
million
dollars
from
the
governor's
recovery
funds.
Aka
arpa
dollars
our
agency
again
with
two
administrators
plans
to
work
with
all
of
our
tribal
Nations
to
divide
that
money
up
and
it
will
be
used
for
our
governments,
our
communities
at
their
discretion.
G
G
Here
is
the
specifics
for
the
Stuart
Indian
School,
Cultural,
Center
and
museum.
Again.
This
has
got
two
full-time
dedicated
employees.
We
have
a
museum
director
as
well
as
a
full-time
curator.
We
are
staffed
primarily
to
the
public
by
volunteers.
These
are
not
just
native
and
Americans,
but
often
folks,
who
attended
the
school
during
forced
assimilation
or
their
direct
descendants.
G
G
We
also
provide
a
safe
place
for
our
alumni,
and
one
of
the
aspects
that's
really
taken
on
a
lot
of
our
time
is
the
reception
of
what
we
call
family.
Heirlooms
we've
been
so
well
received.
We
have
gifts,
families
are
donating
their
Treasures,
whether
they're
traditional
baskets
or
beaded
items.
Recently,
a
large
business
and
the
Douglas
County
area
closed.
They
donated
their
entire
Great
Basin
basket
collection
to
us.
We
need
another
staff
member
to
properly
receive
these
gifts
to
take
care
of
them.
G
As
you
all
know,
these
things
have
to
be
in
an
environmentally
controlled
area.
They
need
to
be
secured.
We
want
to
share
them
with
the
public
and
we
just
don't
have
the
people
power
to
do
that
yet
also
again
Mighty
staff.
We
have
one
employee
who
absolutely
deserves
a
promotion
we'd
like
to
move
our
curator
to
to
a
curator
3.
G
all
told
that
is
about
a
little
less
than
80
000
in
enhancements
that
the
Nevada
Indian
commission
is
interested
in
asking
for
we
have
the
governor's
office's
support
for
that
and
we're
at
the
point
now
that
we
are
transitioning
with
the
new
Administration.
We've
had
the
pleasure
of
talking
to
them
about
some
of
the
challenges,
just
like
I'm
sure,
you've
heard
from
other
directors.
G
Employment
is
very
challenging.
I've
been
with
the
Nevada
Indian
commission
for
three
years.
I
did
a
little
math
in
the
last
46
months,
we've
been
at
without
a
full-time
staff
for
32
of
those.
So
again,
the
promotion
to
to
maintain
our
staff
to
another
position
to
broaden
the
breadth
of
our
services
would
be
hugely
hugely
helpful
and
finally,
I
I
did
want
to
go
back.
G
G
This
funding
will
be
able
to
supplement
projects
that
our
tribal
Nations
already
have
in
place.
We
absolutely
Advocate
and
support
the
sovereignty
of
these
nations
and
they
will
decide
where
this
funding
under
the
purview
of
all
the
arpa
regulations
would
best
be
spent
in
the
short
time
that
we've
had
the
discussions
about
this
funding.
The
Lovelock
Paiute
Tribe
has
said
they're
going
to
be
able
to
extend
a
townhouse
project
that
they
already
have.
The
Reno
Sparks
Indian
colony
wants
to
use
it
as
part
of
their
fundings
for
another
formula.
G
Grant
that
would
install
Plumbing
infrastructure
for
a
subdivision.
They
have
the
Washoe
pie.
Excuse
me,
the
Washoe
Nation
actually
wants
to
use
this
money
for
a
veterans
assistance.
So
again,
I
want
to
emphasize
that,
though,
that
budget
looks
healthy,
it's
completely
new
to
us
and
that
money
will
be
gone
within
six
months.
H
Thank
you
chair
and
thank
you
for
this
overview,
and
it
sounds
like
that.
Influx
of
dollars
was
greatly
needed
and
so
I
know
you
mentioned
a
couple
things,
but
is
there?
Is
there
an
overall
plan
you
could
share
with
us
for
the
20
million?
You
mentioned
a
couple
of
projects:
do
you
see
that
being
mainly
used
for
capital
projects
and
how
are
you
Distributing
it
amongst
the
different
nations
and
those.
G
Are
great
questions
when
I
had
the
opportunity
to
talk
to
your
colleagues
about
this
I
emphasized
that
this
is
going
to
be
done
with
rigorous
consultation
with
our
28
tribal
Nations,
the
Nevada
Indian
commission
has
worked
with
a
couple
of
different
housing
directors
to
come
up
with
a
two-page
application.
I
emphasize
two
page,
because
we
want
this
to
be
as
easy.
You
know
we
don't
want
cumbersome
paperwork
again,
each
tribal
Nation,
even
though
we
all
have
you
know
our
connections
to
the
land.
All
of
our
tribal
nations
are
extremely
different.
G
They
have
extremely
different
needs,
whether
you
know
they're
in
remote,
rural
areas,
the
yamba
nation,
for
example,
between
Austin
and
gaps.
You
can't
get
there
without
traveling
on
dirt
roads.
Yet
we
have
the
Las
Vegas
Paiutes,
who
have
an
acre
in
the
heart
of
Las
Vegas,
it's
completely
different,
so
we
will
be
working
with
each
respective
tribal
Nation
to
find
out
exactly
what
their
greatest
needs
is
and
that
money
will
be
divided
and
transferred
directly
to
them.
Once
we
get
that
written
application.
G
H
G
G
I
And
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
It's
great,
to
see
your
office
diversifying
a
little
bit
of
the
work
that
is
being
done
in
Indian,
Country,
I,
work
with
tribal
governments,
and
one
of
the
issue.
Areas
that
we
see
in
Nevada
in
particular,
is
match
funding
availability
for
Grants.
There
is
an
enormous
amount
of
money
coming
in
from
the
federal
government
for
infrastructure
projects
for
specifically
tied
to
tribal
lands
and
tribal
governments,
but
the
the
hurdle
is
these
match
dollars.
I
Are
you?
Is
your
office,
helping
with
designing
a
way
that
the
state
can
help
support
those
match
dollar
requirements?
Is
there
a
way
we
could
be
doing
that
I
see
these
arpa
dollars
as
kind
of
an
opportunity
to
take
a
look
at
the
structure
of
your
office
and
see
if
there's
a
grant
function
that
could
help
offset
some
of
those
costs.
I
work
in
California
with
tribal
governments,
and
that's
one
of
the
things
California
is
really
investing
in
right.
I
Now
is
helping
to
achieve
that
technical
assistance
for
tribal
governments
so
that
they
can
access
those
funds.
I
want
to
give
an
example.
The
department
of
energy
right
now
has
an
allocation
funding.
This
is
money
that
you
have
to
supply,
just
a
Grant
application
to,
and
then
you
receive
it
for
whatever
project
you
put
out
there.
It
is
coming
to
every
state
and
every
tribal
government
in
the
country.
That's
federally
recognized.
I
There
are
sub
27
in
the
state
of
Nevada
that
received
these
allocations.
I
don't
know
I
know
of
one
Walker
River
who's
applying
for
it
and
when
I
speak
to
folks
about
what
the
the
biggest
issue
is,
the
hurdle.
There's
a
hundred
percent
match
requirement
for
infrastructure,
and
these
are
not
huge
grants
in
some
cases
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year
for
two
years.
It's
not
huge
how
so
there
are
barriers
right
and
I'm.
I
I
really
see
your
office
as
being
one
of
those
places
where
the
state
can
start
helping
overcome
some
of
those
barriers.
So
I
I'm
wondering
if
you're
working
towards
that,
given
this
opportunity
or
if
there
are
ways
we
can
support
you
in
doing
that,.
A
Miss
montooth
I
don't
mean
to
interrupt,
but
would
you
please
state
your
name
before
you
speak?
Thank
you.
G
G
It
seems
incredulous
that
there
can
be
a
historic
amount
of
federal
funding
and
not
too
long
ago,
State
funding,
but
our
tribal
Nations
miss
out
because
they
don't
have
the
technical
assistance,
the
text,
technical
expertise,
specifically,
they
don't
have
grant
writers
who
can
fill
out
the
application
again.
I
underscored
the
application
for
the
20
million
dollars
that
the
state
of
Nevada
has
generously
shared
with
our
tribal
Nations.
It's
going
to
be
a
two-page
application,
so,
if
needed,
the
chair
or
the
tribal
manager,
the
city
manager
can
can
take
care
of
that
you're.
G
Absolutely
right
that
matching
funds
are
a
huge
hurdle
and
we're
absolutely
aware
of
that
problem.
Unfortunately,
right
now
we
don't
have
the
expertise,
even
within
the
Nevada
Indian
commission,
to
provide
that
technical
assistance.
However,
we've
reached
out,
we
just
had
a
meeting
with
the
grant
lab
they've
offered.
You
all
probably
know
they're
run
with
philanthropy
dollars,
so
they've
offered
to
assist
us
with
a
huge
Grant
for
health,
human
Health
and
Human
Services,
so
we're
working
on
a
Model
we're
not
there
yet,
but
we
certainly
are
striving
towards
that.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Assemblywoman
Anderson.
J
Thank
you
chair
and
thank
you,
director,
vontooth
listening
to
this,
and
it
kind
of
goes
a
little
bit
back
to
what
you
were
just
we're
just
bringing
up
the
Staffing
issue,
you're
already
on
a
skeleton
staff.
Is
there
any
sort
of
consideration
of
using
a
small
amount
of
these
funds
to
help
you
look
through
this
information
or
are
you?
Are
you
going
to
continue
to
use
the
same
staff?
G
Again,
our
charge
is
to
improve
the
quality
of
life
for
our
tribal
Nations.
If,
today,
we
divided
that
20
million
each
tribe
would
get
about
714
thousand
dollars
for
some
that
probably
isn't
even
going
to
add
to
you,
know
their
general
fund
by
one
percent,
but
for
others
you
know
that's
going
to
help
them
meet
their
payroll.
G
I
would
like
in
my
heart.
I
would
like
to
take
this
on
myself
in
order
to
be
able
to
save
money,
to
be
able
to
distribute
every
single
dollar
that
we
can
to
our
tribal
Nations
for
efficiency
for
transparency,
we
absolutely
are
considering
hiring
Contracting
with
someone
who
is
an
expert
in
this
kind
of
administrative
work.
A
You
director,
thank
you
very
much.
Senator
Neil.
K
G
Stacy
montooth
the
Nevada
Indian
commission
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
that
question.
Some
of
the
information
that
assemblywoman
Peters
described
made
me
think
of
the
grant
the
grid
resiliency
program.
That's
a
grant
formula
and
she's.
Absolutely
right.
27
of
our
tribal
nations
were
awarded
federal
dollars
from
65
000
up
to
about
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
we
are
working
with
my
apologies.
I
know
they
have
a
new
name,
but
the
governor's
grants
office
to
provide
technical
assistance
and
do
additional
research
on
what
exactly
grid
resiliency
is.
K
G
K
G
Let
me
try,
so
our
tribal
nations
were
on
the
receiving
end
of
federal
arpa
and
cares
act
funding
just
like
the
states
just
like
the
counties
they
got
funding
directly.
G
There
was
litigation
that
postponed
them
getting
that
money
directly
to
their
people
and
then
just
as
I
described
application
Parts.
The
administration
of
arpa
funds
is
extremely
it's
challenging
for
our
tribal
Nations,
because
they
don't
have
the
same
people
power
as
maybe
the
city
of
Ely
or
the
county
of
Lander.
G
The
money
that
the
20
million
dollars
that
the
Nevada
Indian
commission
was
able
to
secure
from
the
state
will
also
fall
under
the
same
project
requirements,
but
the
application
is
extraordinarily
much
much
less.
Labor
intensive,
don't
believe
that
there
could
be
any
negative
Fallout
from
that
opportunity
or
that
procedure
am
I.
Answering
your
question.
K
K
There
was
infrastructure,
there
was
Health,
there
was
Transit,
there
were
several
things
right,
and
even
just
recent
legislation
that
came
out
of
Biden,
you
know
it,
it
included
tribes,
and
so
what
I
think
I
know
is
that
you
don't
have
the
technical
assistance
to
apply
for
these
funds
is
what
I,
what
I
I
might
as
well
just
answer
my
own
question
and
leave
it
there.
Yeah.
G
Stacy
montooth
for
the
record,
you're,
absolutely
right
that
the
issue
with
the
cumbersome
applications,
the
administration.
That
is
typically
the
case
whether
the
funding
is
from
Uncle
Sam
or
the
state
of
Nevada.
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
for
your
presentation.
I'm
encouraged,
I
I.
Think
at
least
you
understand
what
the
hurdles
are
and,
and
you
understand
what
questions
to
ask
and
half
the
time.
The
problem
is,
you
don't
even
know
what
questions
asked
and
what
directions
you
go.
I
have
multiple
tribes
in
my
district
and
on
and
and
honored
to
serve
them.
I.
Think
it's
an
understatement
when
you
say
that
the
28
tribal
nations
are
all
unique,
I,
think
it's
there
there
truly
are.
L
They
truly
do
have
different
needs,
different
personalities,
different
energies
and
it's
the
right
thing,
and
so
recognizing
that
is
good.
I
want
to
go
along
the
same
line
with
a
semi-woman
Peters
about
that
and
I
think
what
people
have
asked
and
pointed
out
is
that
the
the
lack
of
I
think
your
P
Personnel
to
even
know
what
grants
to
apply
for
how
do
you
get
that
done
and
leaving
a
lot
of
money
on
the
table?
My
question,
however,
is
prior
to
covid
and
prior
to
the
arbor
funds.
L
Do
you
have
any
idea
how
much
money
was
already
coming
to
the
these
different
tribal
Nations
through,
say
either
the
the
federal
government
or
the
Bureau
of
Indian
Affairs
those
kind
of
funds
that
they
were
already
receiving?
Do
you
have
any
ideas
on
on
the
overall
income
or
revenues
of
these
different
28
tribes
or
all
they
all
in
their
own
silos?.
G
Stacy
montooth
Nevada
Indian
commission
for
the
record.
Absolutely
not
I
have
no
idea,
as
does
you
know,
it's
part
of
the
sovereignty
of
each
respective
tribe.
You
know
the
the
god-given
right
to
govern
themselves,
as
they
see
appropriate,
also
includes
public
disclosure
in
no
it
respectfully.
Your
question
is
similar
to
asking
me
if
I
know
what
the
general
fund
of
you
know
this
state
of
or
the
country
of
Ukraine
is.
G
You
know
that
it's
completely
up
to
that
governing
body
to
disclose
any
amount
of
money
that
they
either
get
through
grants
or
they
generate
because
they
operate.
You
know
the
biggest
cannabis
plant
on
the
biggest
cannabis
storefront
on
the
planet
or
whether
it's
just
an
automobile
dealership
at
the
end
of
South
Virginia.
All
of
that
is
completely
private
and
within
their
leadership's
discretion
on
whether
they
want
to
share.
L
So,
thank
you
for
that,
and
I
and
I
appreciate
that
answer,
which
then
brings
me
to
this
so
when
they
apply
for
a
grant
and
they
use
justification
on
the
needs
of
that,
how
how
does
that
get
vetted?.
G
Again,
the
applic
Stacy
montooth
of
that
ending
commission
for
the
record,
so
this
funding
comes
with
the
requirements
that
it
absolutely
has
to
meet.
Arpa
the
the
provisions
of
any
project
under
the
American
Rescue
plan
or
any
of
the
provisions
of
the
governor's
Recovery
Act.
G
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Senator
Ganser,
please.
M
Thank
you.
Madam
chair
I
had
a
question.
First
for
fiscal
staff,
the
arbor
dollars
is
there
a
certain
limit
on
Administration
costs
for
like
the
20
million
dollars,
can
they
use
10
or
15
percent
to
administer
the
funding
and
can?
And
if
so,
can
that
be
used
for
the
technical
assistance
that
seems
like
they
need.
N
Foreign
Thorley
for
the
record,
LCB
fiscal
analysis,
division
speaking
specifically
for
the
coronavirus,
State
fiscal
recovery
funds
and
not
other
arpa
grants
that
are
available
through
the
American
Rescue
plan.
Act,
the
the
coronavirus,
State
fiscal
recovery
funds
do
not
have
a
I'm
aware
of
a
limit
on
what
can
be
used
for
administrative
costs.
Other
allocations,
through
the
American

plan
act.
Do,
though
thank.
N
Wayne
Thor
again
for
the
record.
Yes,
so
the
coronavirus,
State
fiscal
recovery
funds,
of
which
the
20
million
dollars
that
miss
montooth
is
talking
about,
has
a
obligation
deadline
of
December,
31st
2024
and
then
an
expenditure
deadline
to
December,
31st
2026.
M
Thank
you,
that's
very
helpful,
so
hopefully
you'll
be
able
to
hire
the
Consultants
or
whoever
you
need
to
be
able
to
to
make
sure
that
you
can
respond
to
the
requirements
that
surround
that
money.
So
thank
you.
A
I
see
none
I
have
one
when
it
comes
to
the
tribes
being
able
to
apply
for
some
of
these
grants.
Do
they
ever
partner
up
or
do
some
type
of
a
small
Consortium,
or
are
they
strictly
individual?
G
Fantastic
question:
Stacy
montooth,
Nevada
Indian
commission
for
the
record.
Thank
you
so
much
for
that.
You
were
absolutely
right,
especially
under
the
Biden
Administration.
When
it
comes
to
scoring
applications
for
Grants
the
more
involvement
you
have
from
different
constituencies.
Typically,
the
stronger
those
grants
are
scored.
I
can't
give
you
an
example.
Just
last
summer
I
was
honored
to
visit
a
small
business
in
downtown
Reno.
It
is
an
I.T
business.
Their
specialty
is
broadband
The
Operators
of
that
business
completed
a
Grant
application
for
funding
to
be
able
to
cover
the
entire
County
of
Pershing.
G
With
broadband,
when
I
had
the
opportunity
to
talk
to
the
business
owner,
he
told
me
I
got
out
the
Grant
application
saw
that
I
could
score
higher.
If
I
worked
with
a
tribal
nation
which
The
Love
Lock
Paiute
colony,
is
in
the
heart
of
Lovelock,
he
said:
I
got
to
score
higher.
If
I
worked
with
a
rural
area
that
has
a
socioeconomic
status
of
a
little
bit
lower
than
the
national
average,
that's
Persian
County,
so
you're
absolutely
right.
G
O
G
G
O
A
You
thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
all
right,
seeing
no
more
questions.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
presentation.
It
was
full
of
great
information
and
we
appreciate
you
being
here
today.
Thank
you
very
much.

are
shown
to
close
the

They
promote
cognitive
development

and
add
the
key
ingredient
of
creativity
to

education
and
how
is

Well,
a
significant
way
is
through
the
Nevada
Arts
Council,
the
Nevada
Arts

celebrating
56
years
as
a
state
Arts

play
an
ever-increasing

is
to
ensure
that
every

Q
Here's
one
of
those
submissions
note
from
a
newbie
by
Stacy
Smith
Pahrump
Nevada,
like
many
others
when
I
was
new
to
the
Nevada
desert.
I
saw
so
little
few
trees,
few
buildings,
few
animals,
few
people
as
I've,
come
to
love.
My
home
I,
see
so
much
the
burrowing
owls
bobbing
their
heads,
the
sturdy
charcoal
ovens
resisting
the
Sun
and
wind,
the
gray
and
blue
mountains
marking
the
way
and
my
hearty
neighbors
driving
the
long
straight
roads.
Q
Arts
learning
a
program
was
founded
on
the
belief
that
Arts
have
a
crucial
place
in
the
lifelong
learning
process
of
all
citizens.
The
Arts
learning
program,
sponsors,
school
and
Community
artists,
residencies
offers
grants
for
Education
products
projects
and
facilitates
Statewide
initiatives
to
enhance
Arts
curriculum
and
teacher
training.
Q
Here's
a
quote
from
participant,
Julie,
lozado
Ocampo,
in
the
words
of
one
of
our
Workshop
participants.
It's
such
a
joy
to
focus
on
something
of
value
and
pleasure,
while
learning
a
new
instrument
and
lifetime
art
is
important
and
has
its
own
merits.
The
social
interaction
and
connection
that
occurred
with
older
adults
in
our
Workshop
cannot
be
overlooked.
One
of
our
participants,
kids
and
their

Q
Foreign,
the
Community,
Arts
development
program,
helps
maintain
and
promote
the
Arts
in
Nevada,
through
Community
Action
planning

and
technical
assistance.
The
program
works
primarily
with
the
state's
non-profit
Arts
organization's.
Local

The
public

negative
effects
of
the

Our
administrative
Services
office
served
for
the
division
and
we
are
happy
to
entertain
any
questions.
A
J
Don't
I
love
these
museums
and
actually
actually
I
do
have
a
question
all.
J
J
You
chair,
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
Looking
at
the
Museum
of
the
Historical
Society
I
can
remember
researching
information
there
in
the
90s
and
it
felt
old.
Then,
when
it
comes
to
the
Historical
Society,
though,
how
many
visitors
do
you
get
and
what
is
it
that
usually
of
an
academic
area,
or
is
it
also
just
people
coming
in
off
the
street
across
from
the
little
wall?
Well,.
R
During
the
pandemic,
we
saw
less
than
a
thousand
prior
to
the
pandemic
and
since
the
pandemic,
our
numbers
are
more
like
4
000
per
year,
and
we
do
have
more
than
just
the
research
services
and
the
library
we
have
a
museum
there
and
if
you're
familiar
with
the
Historical
Society,
you
know
it's
sort
of
a
prisoner
on
the
campus
of
UNR.
You
know
it's,
it's
our
historical
society,
it's
the
state's
Historical
Society,
but
it
is
on
the
campus.
R
It's
been
there
for
a
long
long
time
and
what
has
happened
over
the
years
is
that
the
university
has
grown
up
around
it
in
that
area.
So
now
the
parking
for
the
historical
society
is
extremely
limited,
so
visitors
to
the
museum
can
only
come
in
ribs
and
drabs
because
that's
all
we
can,
we
can
accommodate
in
the
parking
lot
and
the
same
with
the
programs.
So
looking
down
the
road
for
the
Historical
Society,
we
would
like
to
get
back
to
the
plan
of
moving
it
into
a
larger
facility,
more
centrally,
located
in
the
area.
J
So
follow
up
if
I
may
sure,
thanks
with
that,
has
there
been
discussion
with
the
university
about
possibly
doing
a
land
exchange
and
or
because
I
know
that
the
university
has
land
outside
of
that
area
as
well,
or
has
there
been
extensive
conversations
about
possibly
making
some
agreements
in
that
fashion?
Well,.
R
All
of
that
was
part
of
the
previous
plan
when
we
were
going
into
the
Nelson
building
in
off
of
off
of
Second
Street.
R
We
haven't
talked
with
them
specifically
about
what
to
do
next
with
their
land
opportunities,
because,
frankly,
what
we
would
like
to
do
is
to
move
the
Historical
Society
more
centrally
into
into
the
town,
so
people
into
the
arts
district.
If
we
can,
as
you
will,
if
you'll
think
of
that
Midtown
and
and
downtown
area,
that's
where
we
have
our
sights
set.
J
R
Ago,
well,
dirt
is
right
and
and
I
should
clarify,
because
the
dirt
is
the
wonderful
mascot
of
the
Nevada
Northern
Railway
and
that's
operated
by
a
foundation
in
Ely
and
the
state's
Museum
are
the
two
historic
buildings
on
that
property.
So
we
we
know
dirt,
we
love
dirt,
but
he
does
belong
to
the
foundation.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
and
and
and
thank
you
for
bringing
up
dirt
assemblywoman,
because
my
family
had
a
really
fun
time,
naming
the
next
cat
via
email
with
all
my
siblings.
So
we
we
were
quite
creative
in
that
Adventure,
Senator
Ganser,
please
go
ahead
and
then
we'll
move
on
to
the
Department
of
Tourism.
M
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Madam
chair
I
appreciate
the
presentation.
I
just
wanted
to
know
what
would
be
helpful
when
you
come
back
for
more
details
is
to
include
the
Capital
Improvements,
so
you've
got
a
table
of
attendants,
but
a
lot
of
your
buildings
are
going
to
have
an
investment
and
when
I
looked
at
the
the
list
of
CIP
projects
for
the
broader
Department
of
Tourism
cultural
Affairs,
most
of
them
are
yours,
so
that
just
would
be
helpful
when
you
come
back.
P
F
F
As
you
know,
tourism
contributes
a
great
deal
to
Nevada's
economy,
as
represented
here
in
these
numbers.
It's
travel
Nevada's
job
to
pay
close
attention
to
how
where
and
why
visitor
spending
is
done.
So
we
closely
observe
that
and
we
pay
attention
to
Trends
such
as
the
steep
increase
in
outdoor
recreation
spending
noted
in
this
slide.
We
then
allocate
our
lodging
tax
base
to
marketing
and
developing
Innovative
tourism
assets
throughout
the
state.
F
The
3
8
of
1
of
lodging
tax
allocated
to
the
division
of
Tourism
is
spent
in
this
fashion.
We
have
27
percent
of
collections,
go
to
the
state
agencies,
primarily
within
the
department,
15
go
to
operational
costs
and
the
bulk
of
it
goes
to
marketing
and
advertising,
which
is
categorized
into
industry,
development,
rural
grants
and
public
relations
efforts.
F
The
division
of
Tourism
focuses
in
these
areas.
Marketing.
Of
course,
we
are
research
informed.
Our
data
collection
also
allows
us
to
report
on
our
Effectiveness
and
measure
outcomes.
Public
relations,
industry
development
includes
our
Rural
and
destination
development.
Grant
programs
and,
of
course,
Nevada
magazine,
which
is
our
publishing
arm.
F
Our
mission,
of
course,
is
to
effectively
market
and
promote
the
state
as
a
top
of
mind
destination
in
the
west,
but
really
we're
motivated
by
making
every
community
in
the
state
a
better
place
to
live
and
work.
F
F
F
F
We
have
representation
in
five
International
markets
in
Canada,
Mexico,
the
UK,
Germany
and
Australia.
We
engage
audiences
in
those
markets
through
Tory
operators,
travel
agents,
the
Airlines
car
rentals.
We
do
have
a
public
relations
effort,
of
course,
often
through
social
media.
We
engage
with
online
travel
agents,
we
lead
sales
missions,
we
are
often
a
part
of
brand
USA
and
U.S
travel
association's
efforts,
and
we
are
developing
multi-state
itineraries
for
international
visitors
who,
of
course,
don't
often
recognize
state
borders.
F
Our
rural
marketing
grants
we
distribute
1.4
million
I
believe
in
the
biennium
identified
as
1.5
million
in
marketing
grant
funding
annually,
that
funding
supports
marketing
research,
asset
development,
education,
events
in
tourism
destinations
throughout
the
state
and
those
are
for
our
smaller
communities
with
populations
under
a
hundred
thousand
destination
development
is
a
new
tourism
infrastructure
grant
program.
F
F
This
is
a
slide,
describes
the
destination
development
demonstration
project
or
our
3D.
First
round
of
funding
for
Destination
development
comes
through
Eda
funds
through
the
U.S
Department
of
Commerce,
we're
expending
two
million
dollars
with
the
help
of
state
and
local
and
federal
Partners,
who
have
helped
us
evaluate
those
applicants,
and
we
will
expend
that
money
over
the
next
two
years
on
six
projects
and
important
to
this
new
grant
program
is
the
fact
that
it
is
Community
designed
and
led.
F
So,
even
though
the
state
is
developing
it
and
hope
that
it
will
be
funded
on
an
ongoing
basis,
it's
very
much
the
concept
and
a
community
focused
effort.
So
it's
it's
not
that
the
state's
Concepts,
the
state's
projects,
it's
what
the
res
residents
feel,
is
missing
in
their
communities
and
what,
where
tourism
fits
in
the
fabric
of
their
local
economy.
F
There's
a
little
misleading
of
the
title
of
this
one
million
per
fiscal
We've
identified
it
in
the
biennial
budget
that
we
would
like
to
fund
destination
development
infrastructure
grants
at
1
million
per
fiscal
year
beginning
in
fy25,
and
have
it
be
an
ongoing
program
for
the
state
Nevada
magazine,
the
venerated
publication.
F
We
have
come
to
the
legislature
with
interim
reports
to
solve
for
the
problem
of
its
fiscal
health
related
to
ad
Revenue.
It
struggled
like
every
publication
has
globally,
and
one
of
the
solutions
we've
arrived
at
is
tourism
is
now
paying
the
publication
to
serve
as
the
state's
visitors
guide.
F
So,
in
addition
to
the
long-form
traditional
magazine
content
in
the
publication,
it
also
has
a
number
of
trip
planning
resources
available
in
it
and
as
part
of
a
bdr
this
session,
we
are
proposing
to
solve
that
once
and
for
all
to
change
the
statute
which
identifies
the
magazine
as
an
Enterprise
fund.
It
has
to
be
self-supporting,
which
it's
always
struggled
to
do.
F
We'd
like
to
absorb
the
staff
of
the
magazine
into
the
marketing
team
of
travel
Nevada,
so
they'll
continue
to
act
in
the
same
capacity
and
publish
the
magazine,
but
their
skills
will
also
be
used
elsewhere,
so
we'll
create
a
kind
of
an
in-house
content
Studio.
As
a
result,
another
aspect
of
the
bdr
is
to
create
a
deputy
of
Tourism
position,
which
would
eliminate
my
dual
role
as
the
head
of
the
department
and
the
head
of
the
division
will
swap
to
unfilled
positions
to
offset
the
cost
of
that
position.
F
We'd
also
like
to
create
a
new
budget
account
so
that
we
will
separate
out
all
of
the
operational
costs
that
serve
the
entire
department,
as
well
as
the
transfers
and
the
operating
expenses
which
I
already
mentioned.
That
concludes
my
presentation.
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
Thank
you
very
much
for
that
information,
I'll
go
to
assemblywoman,
Anderson
and
then
over
to
Senator
gokuchia.
Thank.
J
You
thank
you
chair
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
My
first
question
has
to
do
with
the
rural
marketing
grants
or
the
idea
of
of
trying
to
highlight
our
rural
areas.
Has
there
been
any
discussion
with
possibly
working
with
our
our
PBS
stations,
who
I
believe
the
Reno
station
actually
produces
a
wild
Nevada?
Has
there
been
any
sort
of
discussion
at
all
with
trying
to
partner
with
them
and
doing
that,
because
I
believe
that
is
in
I
think
about
135
markets
outside
of
our
state.
F
We're
going
to
Scolari
for
the
record,
we
have
sponsored
wild
Nevada
a
number
of
times
and
quite
aware
of
its
success.
Yeah,
it's
a
been
syndicated
throughout
the
country
we
have
supported
it.
I
know
we
have
a
current
buy
with
them,
the
details
of
which
I'm
not
familiar
with,
but
I
can
follow
up
with
you.
We're
big
supporters
of
that
of
that
show.
J
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that
and
follow
up
if
I
may
so,
it'd
be
wonderful
if
that
could
be
an
ongoing
sponsorship,
because
I
know
that
that
is
a
large
expense
for
our
local
PBS
station.
I
do
have
a
second
question
regarding
the
change
of
the
new
tourism
cultural
Affairs
I
understand
where
it's
coming
from
and
as
you
explained
it,
it
made
me
a
little
bit
more
comfortable.
J
However,
the
room
tax
initially
was
used
for
education.
How
would
that
be
continued
in
this
program?
If
there
was
a
change
of
Department,
would
there
continue
to
be
an
education
element
where
possibly
with
the
museums
who
or
the
Arts
Center
who
had
spoken
earlier?
There
could
be
a
partnership
in
that
area,
or
has
that
been
any
type
of
discussion
at
this
time?.
F
For
the
record,
Brenda
Scolari
I
think
the
intent
and
the
administration
of
the
tourism
transfers
will
remain
the
same.
We
really
do
operate
as
an
integrated
team.
We
consider
the
museums
one
of
our
primary
tourism
assets.
The
expression
of
our
Arts
communities
is
is
also
a
major
draw
for
every
community
in
the
state
and
I
I.
Don't
think
the
intent
or
the
you
know.
What
we're
doing
with
that?
Lodging
tax
is
going
to
change
at
all.
F
It's
just
really
the
the
flow
of
the
of
the
money
and
our
ability
to
kind
of
cleanly
operate,
because
so
much
of
it
was
just
in
one
account
and
a
kind
of
difficult
for
us
to
administer.
Sometimes.
J
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
I
had
a
question
on
the
slide
on
the
international
market
development,
the
travel
trade.
So
it's
Unique,
but
I'm
wondering
number
one
who
do
you
engage
in
the
market,
micro
events
and
the
wholesalers,
and
is
there
a
supply
chain
relationship
here
where
there
could
be
some
procurement
opportunities?
F
For
the
record
Brenda
Scolari,
so
our
industry
development
officer,
Anton
Eckert,
administers
the
contracts
with
representation
in
those
five
markets,
so
we'd
be
happy
to
we're
always
entertaining
and
hoping
to
include
any
tourism
Partners
In
the
state
receptive
operators
we'd
be
happy
to
have
conversations
about
how
to
include
anyone.
You
have
in
mind.
K
Okay,
I'm
just
it
just
seems
that.
Well,
let
me
ask
the
second
question:
is
there
any
kind
of
overlap
or
Crossover
with
goed
or
the
state
Purchasing
Office?
If
there's
any
procurement
opportunity
there,
or
do
you
just
operate
as
an
island
or
do
you
work
with
the
other
entities
in
the
state
in
order
to
develop
this
trade
piece.
F
K
K
It
seems
I'm
just
wondering
how
do
we
I
guess,
correlate
and
build
into
a
larger
ecosystem
so
that
opportunities
for
nevadans
who
are
here
can
kind
of
build
into
that
market
and
then
also,
you
know,
benefit
from
that
Revenue
in
their
business
model.
That
makes
sense
and
that's
what
I'm
getting
at.
We
can
talk
about
it
offline,
but
I
think
there's
an
opportunity
here
to
expand
and
grow
this
in
a
way
that
helps
small
businesses
in
Nevada,
participate
in
this
market.
A
You
very
much
and
thank
you
for
your
presentation
today,
and
we
appreciate
your
team
being
here.
Thank.
A
All
right
next,
we
will
go
to
the
Department
of
Business
and
Industry
and
I
believe
Mr
Reynolds
is
here
to
join
us.
P
Madam
chair,
would
you
like
staff
to
pass,
distribute
physical
copies
of
the
exhibits
to
the
members.
A
I
think
everyone
has
one,
but
if
you
don't,
if
you'd
like
to
raise
your
hand,
I
have
your
presentation
up
here.
No.
A
S
Morning
this
is
Terry
Reynolds
director
for
the
Department
of
Business
and
Industry
I'm,
going
to
go
through
our
slide
presentation
rather
quickly,
so
that
we
can
save
some
time
for
questions
on
that.
So
bear
with
me,
because
I
have
a
lot
to
cover
so
but
I'll
try
to
get
through
it
expositiously
and
then
we'll
leave
time
for
for
questions.
For
you
all.
Thank
you.
S
Department
of
Industry
business
industry
consists
of
12
different
divisions.
Basically
the
director's
office
Insurance,
industrial
relations,
housing,
real
estate
mortgage
lending,
financial
institutions,
the
taxi
cab,
Authority,
Nevada,
Transportation
Authority,
our
smallest
unit,
which
is
the
employee
management,
Relations
Board,
the
Labor
Commissioner,
and
the
attorney
for
Injured
Workers
to
really
have
a
better
understanding
of
the
department.
We've
divided
up
into
four
different
quadrants,
and
some
of
you
have
seen
this
before,
but
it
really
Bears
going
through
it.
So
you
understand
how
we
function
and
what
we
do
in
the
department
under
Commerce
and
capital
regulation.
S
We
have
financial
institutions,
Insurance
mortgage
lending,
real
estate,
taxi
cab,
Authority
and
Nevada
Transportation
Authority.
These
are
basically
regulatory
agencies
that
deal
with
Commerce
and
capital
regulation
under
the
second
one
labor
and
Workforce
protection.
We
have
the
office
of
Labor
Commissioner,
employee
management,
Relations
Board,
industrial
relations,
which
has
five
segments
to
IT
workers,
compensation,
mechanical
unit,
OSHA
mine
safety
and
safety,
consultation
and
training
section,
which
is
basically
for
safety
training.
S
We
also
have
the
attorney
for
Injured
Workers,
which
I'll
go
into
a
little
more
in
the
presentations,
which
is
a
very
unique
Nevada
type
of
representation
for
Injured
Workers.
We
have
Community
Development
and
small
business.
We
have
the
office
of
business
finance
and
planning
down
in
Las
Vegas,
and
we
do
a
lot
of
work
with
small
businesses
and
training
informative
workshops
for
entrepreneurs
to
help
them
with
their
business
efforts.
During
the
pandemic
we
worked
with
go
Ed
and
we
distributed
over
100
million
dollars
to
small
businesses.
S
We
feel
that
about
5
500
phone
calls
for
businesses
in
our
office
to
be
able
to
help
them
with
the
utilization
of
applying
for
the
dollars
how
they
could
best
use
it
for
their
business
and
to
get
them
started
on
their
way
through
the
pandemic.
We
also
are
the
conduit
issuer
for
the
state
for
private
activity
bonds.
So
we
do
industrial
revenue
bonds.
We
do
housing
bonds
and
we
do
Charter
School
bonds,
so
a
very
active
area.
In
especially
now
for
housing.
S
We
have
our
weatherization
grants
about
three
million
dollars
that
we
use
for
weatherization
projects
throughout
the
state
for
either
helping
people
that
live
in
in
cold
climates
or
in
warm
climates,
replacing
Windows
working
on
air
conditioning
helping
them
with,
so
that
they
can
reduce
their
and
have
more
efficient
energy
utilization.
S
We
also
are
the
issuer
and
regulator
overseer
of
New
Market
tax
credit
program.
This
last
go
around
you
extended
that
program.
S
The
legislature
did
we've
been
able
to
work
with
the
Community
Development
entity
partners
and
we
were
able
to
finance
31
new
businesses
within
the
state,
so
this
last
few
years
was
very
challenging
because
we
I
want
to
say,
broke
it
down
into
three
different
types
of
of
assistance
for
businesses,
and
we
had
what
we
call
saves
businesses
that
were
going
under
because
of
the
pandemic,
and
we
were
able
to
help
them
to
with
a
new
market
tax
credit
loan
to
be
able
to
keep
their
business
going.
S
We
had
new
businesses
that
were
starting
up
and
we
had
businesses
that
were
were
growing
with
within
the
state
existing
businesses
that
we
were
able
to
to
work
with.
So
all
in
all,
we
invested
about
29
million
dollars
into
those
businesses
within
our
community.
Now,
on
top
of
that,
a
lot
of
those
businesses
were
eligible
for
federal,
New,
Market
tax
credit
dollars,
and
so
we
were
able
to
bring
in
about
90
some
million
in
federal
dollars
for
those
businesses
within
the
state,
advocacy
and
advancement
in
the
director's
office.
S
S
Just
under
200
million
to
Consumers
within
the
state,
we
work
very
closely
with
the
fight
fraud
task
force
down
in
Clark
County.
We
also
work
with
the
AG's
office
very
directly
with
fraud
cases,
so
it's
in
a
very
effective
unit
in
terms
of
how
they
operate
and
the
return
we
clear
about
90
percent
of
the
cases
that
we
have
within
the
within
the
office.
S
We
have
the
commission
on
minority
Affairs,
which
really
looks
at
minority
issues
in
employment,
education,
Community
issues,
political
engagement
in
terms
of
how
you
can
engage
within
your
community
to
make
yourself
heard,
also
in
in
terms
of
helping
support,
minority
businesses.
So
a
very
effective
unit.
We've
had
a
very
outstanding
board.
It's
a
nine-member
board
that
board
is
selected
by
the
Legislative
commission.
Those
members
are
and
they're
very
effective.
We
also
have
the
Ombudsman
for
minority
Affairs,
that's
Miriam,
Lara
Hickerson.
She
does
an
outstanding
job.
S
She
has
a
radio
program
that
reaches
I,
think
now
about
50
000
people
in
the
southern
Nevada
area,
so
she
is
very
engaged
in
terms
of
working
with
with
minority
businesses
within
our
community.
We
have
a
housing,
Advocate,
Nia
gurma,
who
works
on
for
an
advocate
for
affordable
housing.
She
works
does
a
lot
of
work
with
seniors
in
terms
of
the
housing
issues
that
they
have.
So
we
also
have
the
HOA
ombudsman.
The
Ombudsman
office
is
part
of
the
real
estate
division.
Our
Ombudsman
is
Jason
Wyatt.
S
It's
amazing,
because
we
have
now
about
580
some
thousand
households
that
are
in
associations
within
the
state.
Now
that's
just
households,
that's
not
people!
So
if
you
add
that
up,
you
know
it's
millions
of
people
that
are
basically
in
HOAs.
We
also
have
that
consumer
affairs
with
insurance
and
that's
also
a
very
important
unit
because
of
the
size
of
an
insurance
agency
insurance
industry
within
Nevada.
So
over
a
two
billion
dollar
industry
within
our
state.
S
The
budget
for
business
industry
comes
from
the
state
general
fund,
only
1.7
percent,
so
the
remaining
90
plus
percent
of
that
comes
from
federal
funds.
Highway
funds,
industry
fees,
like
I,
said
1.7
percent
general
fund
and
transfers.
So
we
have
we
operate
as
an
internal
service
funds,
so
we
Supply
everything
from
wheat
in
the
central
director's
office.
We
do
all
the
budgeting
accounts,
payables
receivables,
travel,
we
allocate
our
rent
for
our
billing,
we
have
15
offices
Statewide
and
we
also
do
all
the
the
budget
work
for
our
different
divisions.
S
Business
and
industry
contributions
to
general
fund.
This
gives
you
a
10-year
summary
on
the
slide
going
from
13
to
22,
and
you
can
see
that
in
22
we
contributed
56
million
a
little
over
56
million
to
the
general
fund.
So,
even
though
we
only
get
about
1.7
percent
of
the
general
fund,
we
contributed
a
significant
amount
back
to
the
general
fund.
You
see
the
main
contribution
here
from
division
of
insurance,
real
estate
division
and
the
combined
Department
contribution.
S
I
would
say
that
also
any
kind
of
penalties
and
fines
that
we
collect
through
our
agencies.
That
also
goes
to
the
general
fund.
So
we
those
go
directly
through
to
the
terminal
fund
business
industry
director's
office
gone
through
this
and
I'll
go
through
this
rather
quickly.
We
provide
direct
support
to
our
Department's
11
divisions.
We
have
a
centralized
fiscal
budget
collections,
payroll,
human
resources
and
technology
for
that.
Our
financial
institutions
and
mortgage
lending
divisions,
licensing
all
in
all
the
Department
of
Business
and
Industry
issues
about
260
000
licenses
a
year
to
Nevada
businesses.
S
We
administer
provisions
of
Law
and
development
and
regulation
of
policies
for
our
agencies.
We
work
very
hard
on
development
of
regulations
and
making
sure
that
they're,
fair
and
Equitable,
and
we
have
a
good
partnership
with
our
Industries.
We
assist
with
economic
development
initiatives
and
coordinate
programs
to
encourage
growth
and
retention
of
business.
We
work
very
closely
with
the
governor's
office
of
Economic
Development
to
be
able
to
help
with
business.
We
actually
provide
a
lot
of
times
financing
through
private
activity,
bonds
for
those
businesses.
S
We
Advocate
and
protect
for
our
consumers
and
minority
Affairs,
as
I
indicated
our
consumer
affairs
unit.
We
provide
direct
constituent
Services
through
our
office.
We
provide,
like
I,
said
the
conduit
ishner
issuer
for
private
activity,
charter
school
and
housing
bonds.
We
also
administer,
as
I
indicated,
the
new
market,
jobs
Act.
S
So
I
would
mention
that
the
state
gets
about
345
million
authorization
from
IRS
to
issue
bonds.
Half
of
that
goes
to
the
local
government
entities
and
half
goes
to
the
director's
office
this
year,
we're
able
to
because
we
did
not
use
the
director's
office
for
share
for
industrial
revenue
areas,
we're
going
to
transmit
226
million
over
to
housing
to
be
able
to
do
housing
bonds
with
those
funds.
S
So
over
the
last
three
fiscal
years
we
have
been
able
to
put
forward
about
a
little
over
700
million
in
volume
cap,
our
IRS
authority
to
issue
tax-exempt
bonds
within
the
state,
and
most
of
that
has
gone
to
housing.
S
Our
key
budget
enhancements
are
additional
in-state
travel
and
education
materials
for
the
commission
on
minority
fairs
for
outreach
to
rural
areas.
In
Nevada
we
are
transferring
two
of
Our
IT
professional
positions.
It's
an
I.T
professional
2,
IT
professional
three
position
from
the
division
of
industrial
relations
to
the
director's
office.
Department-Wide.
What
we
do
is
we
have
a
centralized
I.T
staff
and
we
allocate
them
to
where
the
needs
are
within
our
different
agencies,
so
they
are
cost
allocated
for
the
work
that
they
do
to
those
different
agencies.
S
S
Replacement
of
video
conference
equipment
in
the
Las
Vegas
Business
Center
I'm
happy
to
report
that
this
March
we
will
celebrate
our
sixth
year
in
our
Sahara
Street
location
for
that,
and
so
we
Consolidated
all
of
our
agencies,
plus
drr
afterwards
dir
agencies.
Within
that
centralized
location,
we
were
spread
out
in
seven
different
locations
throughout
the
valley
in
Clark
County,
and
so
we
were
able
to
do
kind
of
a
One-Stop
shop
for
those
entities.
S
Major
Personnel
issues
facing
the
department-
this
is
a
common
theme
that
you're
here
from
probably
some
of
all
of
your
different
departments
that
you're
hearing
from
a
budget
we've
had
a
high
rate
of
turnover
and
skill
positions
on
lower
level,
fiscal
and
administrative
staff.
Our
positions
open
for
a
year
with
little
or
no
applications,
CPAs
in
financial
institutions
and
Morey's
lending
nursing
related
positions
in
dir
top
Financial
examiner
positions
in
in
financial
institutions
and
mortgage
lending
are
really
difficult
to
hire
and
find.
S
We
really
have
to
do
something
with
in
the
CPA
area,
because
we
just
with
the
wages
we
pay,
we
cannot
hire.
Cpas
insurance
and
dir
have
been
hard
hit
with
vacancies
in
their
skill
positions
too,
where
there's
a
market
in
the
private
sector
or
employees
willing
to
give
them
more
flexibility
in
their
work
and
location
hours.
They
have
stolen
our
employees
away,
Steel
our
department
overall
vacancy
rate
is
actually,
if
you
look
at
it,
pretty
good,
we're,
probably
in
the
range
between
16
and
18
percent
vacancy
rates.
S
In
some
other
areas
within
the
state,
I
know
they're
25
to
30
percent
vacancy
rate.
Hiring
lists
are
not
good
with
applicants
lacking
qualifications
for
positions,
a
high
rate
of
no-shows
for
interviews.
We
just
did
a
recruitment
for
admin,
2
position,
we
had
16
no-shows
and
then
we
set
up
four
people
for
interviews
and
we
had
no
shows
in
that.
So
we
went
from
27
down
to
being
able
to
interview
four
people.
S
So
I'll
give
you
an
idea
what
we're
facing
and
that's
true
for
a
lot
of
the
positions
that
if
we
do
get
applicants
what
happens,
Insurance,
division
under
capital
and
commerce
regulation,
the
agency
protects
consumers
and
ensures
solvency
of
Nevada's
insurance
providers.
This
is
an
extremely
important
job.
It's
a
difficult
job
because
we
have
to
make
sure
that
insurance
providers
within
the
state
maintain
their
solvency
regulate,
Nevada's,
22
billion
dollar
insurance
industry,
which
has
grown
by
91
percent.
In
the
last
10
years.
Our
insurance
industry
has
grown.
S
Our
primary
focus
is
to
Monitor
and
ensure
solvency
for
their
carriers
to
safeguard
the
insurance
companies.
Doing
business
in
Nevada
can
make
good
on
the
promises
made
to
their
consumers,
promote
compliance
to
provide
an
adequate
and
competitive
market,
ensure
Nevada
consumers
are
treated
fairly
licensing
and
education
of
individuals,
interacting
with
consumers,
and
have
as
insurance
and
consumer
protection
and
fraud
investigation.
S
The
key
budget
enhancement
here
is
the
purchase
of
fraud,
case
management,
software
and
training
for
investigative
staff.
We
work
very
closely
with
other
states
on
a
national
basis,
as
well
as
the
AG's
office,
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
we
protect
consumers.
So
we
regularly
get
involved
with
the
Attorney
General's
office
in
Consumer
Fraud
issues
with
insurance,
but
also
on
a
national
level,
we're
very
active
in
our
National
Association,
and
we
see
a
lot
of
companies
that
will
move
from
state
to
state
to
state
offering
different
products
that
aren't
necessarily
what
they
say.
They
are.
S
The
division
of
industrial
relations
consists
of
five
units,
as
I
said:
five
sections,
the
workers
compensation
section,
the
occupational
safety
and
health
administration,
safety,
consultation
and
training
session.
This
is
our
main
training
section,
mine
safety
and
training
section
and
the
mechanical
compliance
section.
S
The
key
industrial
relations
budget
enhancements
here
are
to
enhance
the
department
of
industrial
relations,
claims
and
Regulatory
data
system.
What's
called
cards
to
streamline
Financial
transactions,
improve
security,
improve
service
to
stakeholders
and
improve
workers,
compensation
assessment
process.
S
We
have
a
lot
of
contracts
within
that
we
work
with
in
our
agency,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
following
those
contracts
making
sure
that
we're
paying
attention
to
start
date
end
date
are
they
are
they
doing
what
they
say,
they're
supposed
to
be
doing
in
those
contracts?
So
this
is
more
than
just
monitoring
us,
making
sure
that
we
have
compliance
in
our
contract
areas.
S
New

This
is

the
Elko
District
that
we're
requesting.
As
you
know,
mining
is,
is
continuing
to
grow
and
with
lithium
mining
within
our
state.
We
will
see
additional
mines
up
and
operating
within
various
areas
of
the
state.
S
Nevada
housing
division
of
Nevada
housing
division
basically
has
their
home
ownership
programs.
We
have
financing
for
multi-family
development
and
preservation
for
affordable
housing,
weatherization
assistance
oversight
and
manufactured
housing
within
the
state.
We
administer
Federal
funding
for
housing
that
comes
in
to
the
state.
So
a
lot
of
that
is
Conduit
funding
that
goes
and
distributed
to
Clark
and
Washoe
County.
In
the
rural
areas.
We
have
a
housing
database
reporting.
We
have
a
rental
database
that
we
operate
within
our
housing
units.
S
So
if
you
are
looking
for
an
apartment
or
rental
property,
you
can
go
to
that
database
and
have
access
in
terms
of
what
you're
looking
for.
Not
a
lot
of
people
know
about
that.
We
advertise
on
on
social
media
on
it,
but
it's
a
very
effective
way
for
people
that
are
looking
for
rental
properties
within
the
state
to
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
that
housing
advocacy.
As
I
mentioned,
we
do
have
a
housing
Advocate
within
our
housing
division,
additional
activities
during
the
pandemic.
S
Obviously
we're
still
we're
working
on
the
homies
Nevada
initiative
and
in
this
budget
it
shows
125
million
in
fiscal
year
24
and
125
million
fiscal
year
25.
This
will
go
to
support
those
Home
Means
Nevada
initiative
projects
that
we
are
working
with
West
Side
housing
project.
This
is
the
West
Side
program
that
we're
working
with
with
Clark
County
in
the
city
of
Las
Vegas.
On
that
this
is
we
separated
that
out
so
that
you
could
see
what
the
allocation
is
for
that
homeowner
assistance
on
this
and
also
a
home
partnership?
S
These
are
our
arpa
funding
that
current
activities
that
we
provide.
We
provide
down
payment
assistance
to
low
and
mid-income
home
buyers,
we've
done
special
programs
for
teachers
and
Veterans.
We
have
12
developments
that
financially
closed
in
the
four
percent:
low-income
housing
tax
credit
program
in
the
last
18
months,
creating
or
preserving
about
2400,
affordable
apartments.
S
We
have
eight
million
dollars
in
tax
credits
currently
allocated
in
the
nine
percent
program.
We
assisted
587
households
through
weatherization
programs
in
FY
21.,
the
annual
administration
of
over
21
million
in
federal
grants
and
state
grants
for
construction
preservation,
affordable
housing,
rental
assistance,
housing
and
neighborhood
stabilization.
So
you
think
of
the
housing
division.
We
do
a
lot
of
work
into
Financial
work
in
terms
of
being
able
to
bond
for
housing
projects
and
and
preservation.
S
We
also
do
a
lot
of
work
in
terms
of
being
able
to
conduit
issue
Monies
to
for
everything
from
rental
assistance
to
housing,
to
homeless
programs
within
the
state,
so
we're
kind
of
a
central
program
for
that.
We
work
very
closely
with
our
housing
Partners
in
Clark
County,
Washoe
County
and
the
Nevada
Rural
Housing
Authority
key
housing
division
projects.
Here
this
was
put
into
our
base
budget,
so
it
makes
it
look
like
it's
it's
kind
of
inflated,
but
these
are
the
arpa
funding.
S
Real
estate
division,
real
estate
division
consists
of
several
areas:
licensing
real
estate,
Builders
and
developers.
These
are
mapping
that
we
work
with
Builders
and
developing
proving
their
Maps
timeshare
industry,
appraisers,
energy
audit
and
inspection
service.
We
also
have
the
Real
Estate
Commission,
the
commission
of
appraisers
and
real
estate
and
real
estate
education
section.
As
you
can
see
right
now,
we
have
of
all
types
of
licenses
about
41
000
licenses
licensees
within
the
states.
S
We
in
terms
of
here's,
a
breakdown
of
the
complaints
cases,
opened
commission
hearings
and
calls
our
commission
real
estate
commission
and
the
commission
for
real
estate
appraisers.
They
do
a
very,
very
good
job.
It's
been
difficult,
finding
good
people
to
be
on
there
finding,
especially
in
the
area
of
appraisals
appraisers,
but
we've
been
able
to
to
do
that
and
find
some
good
good
people
for
for
those
commissions.
S
Then
we
have
the
HOA
side.
The
real
estate
agency
is
kind
of
it's
interesting,
the
vision,
because
half
of
it
is
funded
by
by
general
fund
with
a
mix
in
the
fees,
and
then
we
have
the
HOA
side,
which
is
funded
by
a
door
fee
per
unit
within
in
an
HOA,
and
as
you
see,
we
have
right
now
total
registered
associations
of
about
a
little
over
3
500.
S
This
last
year
we
added
13
173
new
units,
we
added
97
new
associations
and
769
licensed
Community
managers.
So
overall
we
have
584
1706
households
that
were
involved
in.
D
S
Hoas
we
have
through
the
ombudsman's
office,
we
have
HOA
registration,
Education
and
Training
alternative
dispute
resolution,
mediation,
compliance
and
our
cic
task
force.
We
have
a
seven
member
body
that
handles
HOA
areas
appointed
by
the
governor,
that
does
discipline
regulation
and
advisory.
S
For
real
estate
division,
the
key
enhancements
are
to
change
compliant
audit
investigator
from
a
part-time
position
to
a
full-time
position
in
Northern
Nevada,
due
to
an
increase
of
complaints
requiring
investigation
in
our
Northern
office.
Also,
we
are
working
and
thank
you
for
authorizing
the
technology
fee.
In
the
last
legislative
session
in
21.,
we
are
upgrading
updating
our
education
database
and
portal
to
manage
and
compile
and
maintain
educational
standards
and
records
for
the
approved
schools,
so
as
a
as
a
real
estate
agent,
and
you
have
to
submit
that
material.
S
We're
now
able
to
upload
that
material
so
that
you
can
automatically
upload
it
and
keep
it
current
for
our
schools,
sponsors
instructors
and
for
pre
and
post
licensing
education,
continuing
education
for
our
licensees
and
the
current
system
really
has
been
aging
and
still
uses
paper
forms.
So
we're
getting
away
from
all
of
our
paper.
In
fact,
I'm
proud
of
the
real
estate
agency,
because
they're
pretty
much
have
digitized
all
of
their
files
within
their
system,
which
is
a
use.
S
S
Division,
the
enhancements
here
are
a
new
compliance
investigator
position
to
support
the
increase
in
the
number
of
licensees
individuals
and
with
the
increase
in
the
number
of
non-depository
mortgage
lending
transactions,
private
lending,
which
is
which
is
growing
in
the
state.
We
have
requested
a
new
IT
professional
position
to
develop
and
Implement
cyber
security
exam
program.
S
This
is
something
that
we
work
with
the
multi-state
mortgage
system
and
registry,
and
this
is
a
this
is
a
topic
that
really
is
that
we
really
need
to
get
up
to
speed
on,
because
there
is
a
lot
of
cyber
security
issues
with
moorage
companies
and
with
transfer
of
of
monies
when
you
buy
a
house
or
buy
a
property
and
you're
transferring
those
monies
a
lot
of
those
times
that
that
can
be
basically
a
basis
for
fraud,
and
it's
huge
so
we're
working
with
national
organizations
to
be
able
to
get
up
to
speed
for
our
cyber
security
program.
S
So
we
we're
seeing
really
a
lot
of
growth
in
this
area
to
be
expected
with
our
population,
but
Nevada
is
becoming
because
of
the
the
work
that
was
done
in
the
trust
area
and
Savings
Bank
areas
the
modernization
of
our
statutes
within
that
we're,
seeing
a
lot
more
trust
companies
having
interest
within
the
state
of
Nevada.
So
we're
looking
at
some
large
companies
moving
into
the
state
within
the
next
couple
years,
which
is
a
very
much
a
positive
for
the
state
of
Nevada
division
responsibilities.
We
process
and
respond
to
written
complaints.
S
We
investigate
violations
and
take
necessary
disciplinary
actions.
We
promote
and
and
maintain
the
Public's
trust
and
confidence
in
the
State
financial
system.
Through
regulatory
activities
we
were
quite
busy
with
the
pandemic
and
making
sure
that
Banks
stayed
open.
They
were
able
to
service
their
customers
and
be
able
to,
and
we
had
a
lot
of
issues,
especially
with
some
of
the
smaller
Banks
when
they
lost
some
of
their
staff,
were
out
sick
to
making
sure
that
they
could
operate.
S
We
facilitate
proposals
to
form
dinovo
depository
institutions
and
encourage
consideration
by
national
and
out-of-state
chartered
institutions
to
convert
and
relocate
Nevada
state
charters
in
an
effort
to
build
the
following
loss.
We
had
over
50
percent
of
our
banks,
financial
institutions
when,
when
out
or
or
stop
doing
business,
but
we're
seeing
that
come
back
in
now,
which
is
which
is
good.
It's
not
going
to
build
up
as
fast
we're,
probably
not
going
to
have
as
many
banks,
but
we
are
going
to
have
a
strong
financial
base
for
our
communities
and
our
businesses
within
the
state.
S
We
facilitate
the
establishment,
fast-growing
retail
and
Family
Trust
companies
and
bringing
skilled
professionals
into
our
state.
This
is
a
really
a
growing
area
within
our
our
state.
S
No
key
budget
enhancements
here
for
financial
institutions.
Next
one
is
taxicab
Authority
taxi
cabs.
Primary
safety
functions
are
driver
permitting
fingerprint
and
background
investigations.
We
do
vehicle
inspections.
We
work
with
the
companies
that
we
have
that
operate
taxis
on
vehicle
inspections.
We
work
on
enforcement.
We
do
the
difference
here.
We
do
actual
routine
Patrol
and
impounds,
and
so
these
are
are
dispatched
out
to
areas
within
the
community
for
taxis.
S
We
have
currently
out
3
500
medallions
16
cab
companies,
37
196
active
drivers,
our
taxi
rides
pre-coped
went
from
well,
we
were
down
to
actually
for
one
month
we
were
down
to
about
12
000
taxi
rides,
but
pre-covered
we
were
around
15.8
million.
We
have
climbed
back
up
to
13.498
million,
which
is
a
significant
increase.
So
we're
really
happy
to
see
that
taxis
remained
an
essential
mode
of
Frontline
Transportation
through
covid-19
pandemic.
S
They
Remain
the
most
efficient
and
quick
way
to
move
large
sums
of
people,
especially
the
Marquee
events
like
shows
professional
sports
conventions,
we're
seeing
a
situation
where,
in
both
Clark
County
and
Washoe
County,
but
particularly
in
Clark
County,
where
we
need
every
form
of
transportation
we
can
get
because
of
the
businesses
doing.
That
is
actually
good
news.
It
is
growing
our
transportation
industry,
both
from
NTA
and
ta
standpoint
with
the
Advent
autonomous
vehicles
coming
in
the
mass
Market
over
the
next
five
years.
S
It's
likely
that
both
traditional
taxis
and
network
Vehicles
will
continue
as
complementary
systems.
We
have
been
working
with
the
autonomous
vehicles,
companies
that
are
coming
in
and
working
with
them
in
terms
of
how
they're
going
to
manage
their
company.
How
they're
going
to
manage
rides
what
that's
going
to
look
like
what
areas
they're
going
to
to
work
in,
and
so
we
expect
to
see
that
be
more
commonplace
over
the
next
four
to
five
years.
S
Unlawful
passenger
Transportation
continues
to
be
a
significant
issue
within
and
requires
constant
enforcement.
We
are
seeing
that
with
every
single
event
that
we
have
within
our
communities
is
illegal
operators.
S
Current
status
of
Revenue
and
reserves
give
you
an
idea.
Our
taxicab
Authority
is
doing
much
better
than
it
was
previously,
and
you
can
see
the
number
of
trips
in
terms
of
where
we're
at
and
where
we
are
today
in
terms
of
the
difference.
So
the
markets
are
growing.
That's
good
news.
The
companies
are
more
healthy.
It's
bringing
back
more
shuttles,
limos
buses
operating
within
within
our
communities.
S
Taxicab
the
major
budget
enhancements
here
is
a
reclassification
of
our
chief
investigator
new
Deputy
division
administrator.
We
used
to
have
a
chief
of
enforcement
and
also
a
Deputy
Administrator,
we're
now
combining
those
positions
and
to
have
one
person
that
so
your
administrator
was
Mr.
Carl
Armstrong
will
be
over
the
administrative
side
and
we'll
have
the
deputy
be
over
the
enforcement
side.
So
we'll
have
a
a
basically
a
law
enforcement
person.
S
S
Nevada
Transportation
Authority:
this
is
the
so
if
you
look
at
it,
NTA
does
taxis
everywhere
else,
but
Clark
County,
and
then
they
also
have
everything
from
charter
buses,
limos
movers,
tow
cars,
tour
buses,
non-emergency,
medical
transfers,
employee
vanpools,
airport
transfer
services,
special
services,
warehouse
permits,
Transportation
Network
companies,
which
is
the
Thomas
Vehicles,
so
they
are
very
busy
they
process
driver
permits,
but
for
tnc's
we
only
license
the
companies.
We
don't
license
the
drivers
so
I
want
to
make
that
that
clear.
S
We
administer
new
carrier
applications.
We
oversee
administrative
enforcement
hearings,
we
audit
and
inspections
of
existing
characters
and
enforcement
of
Nevada
laws.
Active
carriers
we
have
about
478
active
carriers.
Certificates
by
Authority
is
535.
TNC
driver
account.
Now
is
the
good
news
is
they're
back
up
to
31
000
non-tnc
driver
account
is
about
8
438,
so
we
are
seeing
Uber
and
Lyft
drivers
come
back
into
the
system.
There
was
a
lag
for
that.
S
In
fact,
you
could
be
at
the
airport
for
quite
some
time,
waiting
for
your
your
Uber
or
Lyft
driver
for
a
while,
but
now
they
are
coming
back
and
we're
seeing
better
service.
S
The
Nevada
Transportation
Authority
Key
budget
enhancements
three
new
compliance
enforcement
investigator
positions.
These
are
really
necessary
because
of
the
amount
of
special
events
evenings
and
weekends
that
they
work
to
be
able
to
cover
those.
We
are
seeing
everything
from
the
Raiders
and
the
stadium,
the
special
events
that
are
there,
the
convention
events
are
coming
back.
S
Finally,
we
were
about
a
year
and
a
half
ago
only
about
40
percent
and
we're
now
seeing
about
60
to
70
percent
because
of
the
lag
time
and
bringing
those
events
back,
two
Administrative
Assistant
positions
to
help
with
licensing
and
servicing
and
working
on
the
administrative
side
of
the
applications
and
investigations
that
we
are
doing
with
the
Nevada
Transportation
Authority,
the
office
of
Labor
Commissioner
major
responsibilities
are
enforcing
private
sector
employment
laws,
minimum
wage
and
overtime
breaks
and
lunches
deductions,
employee
practices,
employment
of
minors,
they
also
oversee
Public,
Works
projects,
prevailing
wage
and
apprenticeship,
apprenticeship,
utilization
act.
S
We
issue
Public
Works
project
numbers.
We
calculate
prevailing
wage
to
make
sure
that
that's
it's
being
paid
correctly.
Apprenticeship
utilization
acts
so
that
there's
a
requirement
to
have
apprenticeships
with
those
projects
to
make
sure
that
they
have
that.
We
also
do
a
lot
of
waivers
for
those
that,
if
they
don't
or
can't
find
apprenticeships
for
certain
programs,
we
have
a
waiver
program
for
that.
We
enforce
investigate
potential
violations,
we
impose
penalties
and
disqualification.
We
oversee
private
employment
agencies.
These
are
licensed
to
regulate
what
we
call
temporary
staffing
agencies
within
the
state.
S
We
have
the
Nevada
state
apprenticeship
program,
which
was
moved
back
over
to
us,
and
we
have
a
very
good
apprenticeship
executive
director
that
we
hire.
She
has
worked
with
both
two
large
construction
companies
within
the
area
and
handled
apprenticeships,
so
we
were
able
to
get
somebody
who's
very
knowledgeable
on
the
construction
side
of
working
with
apprenticeships
and
statistics
during
22
wage
complaints
we
had
4
500

S
We
collected
1.2
million
for

approximately
200
000.,
as
I
indicated
that
200
000

goes
back

doesn't
go
back
into

claims.
We
had
222
claims
wages
collected
under
the
prevailing
wage
were
additional
299
000,
just
a
under
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
workers,
penalties
assessed,
226
000.
S
penalties
collected,
go
directly
to
as
I
indicate
to
the
general
fund.
We
issued
just
a
little
over
a
thousand
Public
Works
project
numbers.
We
had
administrative
fines,
penalties
about
450,
900
pennies
collected
go
like
I,
said
directly
to
the
general
fund,
private
employment
agencies,
licensing
of
those
158
professional
employer
organizations,
186
apprenticeship.
S
There
were
6198
apprentices
we
did
have
with
747
employers
and
62
registered
programs.
We
anticipate
that
growing
considerably
with
infrastructure
dollars
coming
into
this
state.
The
office
of
Labor
Commissioner
enhancement
was
a
is
a
cloud-based
software
as
a
service
solution,
an
online
submission
processing
and
management
of
professional
employer
organizations.
This
was
done
through
Senate
Bill
55
and
passed
during
the
81
regular
session
in
21
and
then
transfer
the
responsibility
and
accounting
from
dir
to
to
the
labor
office.
S
So
current
tracking
is
done
manually,
but
we
want
to
get
a
case
management
system,
so
we
can
track
that
not
a
very
expensive
system,
but
a
very
necessary
system
to
be
able
to
be
efficient.
Employee
management,
Relations
Board,
this
board.
It
works
very
hard
in
terms
of
being
able
to
to
look
at
Labor
practices.
It's
one
of
our
smallest
agencies.
We
have
Bruce
Snyder
who's,
our
executive
director
for
the
emrb
mayor
sue,
his
executive
assistant.
Both
of
those
positions
are
selected
by
the
board
to
work
on
cases.
S
The
board
acts
as
the
administrative
Court,
resolving
disputes
over
unfair
labor
practices,
the
scope
of
bargaining
units
and
which
employee
organizations,
if
any
to
represent
employees.
So
we
represent
state
government,
local
governments,
employee
organizations,
so
18,
000,
state
government,
employees
and
ninety
thousand
local
employees
in
terms
of
their
issues.
S
The
board
has
hearings
the
hearings
before
the
entire
board
or
they
work
in
panels
Statewide
very
efficient.
So
we
have
five
part-time
board
members
appointed
by
the
governor
and
three
full-time
staff,
as
I
indicated,
emrb
does
not
resolve
grievances.
Those
are
resolved
through
process
detail
in
each
of
their
collective
bargaining
agreements.
So
what
I
will
tell
you
that
Mr
Snyder
who's
done
an
incredible
job
there?
He
has.
Basically
all
the
agencies
reported.
S
S
No
no
budget
announcements
here
attorney
for
Injured
Workers.
S
S
They
handle
usually
represent
about
900
cases
a
year
with
our
group,
so
the
in
a
attorney
for
Injured
Workers
consists
of
attorneys.
Excuse
me
legal
assistance
and
they
work
all
the
way
through
the
appeals
process,
all
the
way
up
to
the
Supreme
Court
this
last
year
they
had
they
prevailed
in
about
74
percent
of
the
cases,
which
is
pretty
incredible
in
the
last
five
years.
S
Their
average
is
somewhat
over
50
percent
and
prevailing
of
cases
so
that
that
concludes
our
all
of
our
agencies,
as
I
indicated
to
try
to
get
through
that
rather
quickly.
It's
a
lot
so
and
I
apologize
for
the
for
the
rapid
going
through
that,
but
I'm
happy
to
to
answer
any
questions
and
go
through
this
through
our
questions
in
a
little
more
detail,
I
would
indicate
that
we
have
all
of
our
agency
heads
either
down
in
southern
Nevada
or
here
in
the
room
with
me.
U
Thank
you
for
being
here.
I
just
had
a
couple
of
questions.
First
I
have
a
question
regarding
on
the
real
estate
division
division.
I
know
they
had
a
bill
last
session
to
update
some
of
their
I.T,
and
the
funds
were
set
to
expire
June
of
this
year.
So
if
they
weren't
used,
they
were
going
to
have
to
revert
back
to
the
general
fund.
U
S
Terry
Reynolds
for
the
record
director
of
business
industry.
Yes,
yes,
it
is,
we
are
going
through
and
working
with
that,
we
went
through
a
selection
process
for
a
vendor.
We
spent
a
lot
of
time
on
it
because
there
were
we
wanted
to
make.
S
We
had
a
wide
variety
in
terms
of
the
costs
for
that
vendor,
but
we
also
wanted
to
make
sure
we
had
somebody
that
actually
had
done
a
product
and
was
experienced
in
it
and
worked
with
a
successful
real
estate
divisions
throughout
the
country
to
be
able
to
modernize
their
systems,
and
so
we
were
able
to
find
a
good
vendor
to
be
able
to
do
that,
and
that
is
in
progress.
Now.
Okay,.
U
Correct
but
it's
my
understanding
that
the
real
estate,
division
and
I
appreciate
that
they're
doing
this,
because
we've
seen
other
state
agencies
pay
Upfront
for
I.T
modernization,
and
then
you
know
not
get
the
project
completed.
So
I
appreciate
that
you
guys
are
holding
off
on
paying
the
vendor
until
the
project
is
complete,
but
I,
don't
think
the
Project's
going
to
be
complete
in
time.
The
bill
said
the
money
had
to
be.
U
S
Okay
well
we're
we
have
a
bdr
to
basically
extend
the
reality,
the
allocation
of
those
funds
so
that
we
can
go
through
and
make
sure
that
we're
able
to
cover
the
costs
and
those
funds
will
be
there
when
we
finish
the
project.
So
but
it
is
ongoing,
it's
it's
so
far,
successful
and
and
moving
through
and
they're
getting
good
good
handle
on
the
services
that
need
to
be
done
through
the
through
the
vendor.
U
Thank
you
and
one
more
chair,
one
more
question:
Sheriff
I
could
and
then
my
second
question
was
regarding
home
as
possible,
so
I
actually
I
sat
through
one
of
Rhonda
Talbert's
presentations
regarding
I'm
home
as
possible
and
the
extra
money
that
was
being
put
in
to
help
homeowners
with
down
payment
assistance.
U
Can
you
walk
me
through
how
much
money
is
available
in
that
Grant
and
if
it's
actually
being
used,
a
lot
of
the
feedback
I
received
was
that
the
income
qualification
limits
were
too
low
and
not
that
many
nevadans
were
able
to
take
advantage
of
the
down
payment
assistance
program.
So
can
you
let
me
know
approximately
how
much
money
is
left
in
that
gram
program
and
if
there
is
considerations
to
increase
the
income
requirements,
Terry.
S
Reynolds
director
for
business
Ministry,
Mr
haycroft,
is
in
the
audience
here
and
I'm
going
to
have
him
come
up
and
answer
that
question.
S
V
Thank
you,
Steve
akroth,
administrative
Nevada,
housing
division
for
the
record,
assemblywoman
howdegi,
so
the
home
is
possible.
Program
has
Federal
limitations
on
it,
and
some
of
that
is
related
to
our
bonds.
That
support
the
program
and
some
of
it
is
related
to
the
arpa
funding
that
has
come
in.
So
while
we
would
love
to
expand
the
program
because
it
is
fairly
limited,
we
cannot
do
that
through
the
the
restrictions
that
are
put
upon
us.
V
V
We
haven't
had
a
whole
lot
of
activity
there,
yet
we
are
working
through
that
I.
If
I
remember
correctly
from
the
arpa
standpoint,
I
think
it
was
seven
and
a
half
million
and
I
think
we
have
less
than
currently
about
50
applicants
going
through
that
process.
V
Was
indicated
in
the
previous
testimony
for
with
tourism,
they
need
to
be
obligated
by
2024
expended
by
2026.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much,
we'll
go
to
Senator
Neil.
K
So
on
slide,
eight
you
were
discussing
how
looking
for
qualified
employees
and
the
no-shows
and
what
I
was
wondering
is
you
know
in
order
to
kind
of
build
the
bench?
Are
we
looking
at
maybe
trying
to
do
more
training
opportunities
through
wex,
which
wex
is
the
wioa
fund
or
part
of
the
program
that
allows
for
internship?
And
then
you
also
have
OJT
dollars
right,
which
would
allow
you
to
bring
in
someone,
at
least
for
enough
time
to
train
them
into
the
position,
see
if
they're
interested.
K
On
page
31,
I
was
looking
at
the
legal
representative
for
the
workers
comp
and
that's
always
been
an
area
where
you
know
a
lot
of
our
Nevada
citizens.
Don't
have
enough
money
and
thinking
once
again
on
a
Workforce
pipeline
right,
a
public
interest
law,
Pipeline
and
maybe
working
with
the
law
school
in
order
to
try
to
build
some
public
interest
relationship
there,
so
that
there
is
at
least
a
Workforce
pipeline
for
the
legal
representative
who
really
is
serving
as
a
as
an
attorney
for
citizens
who
can't
afford
it.
S
Terry
Reynolds
for
the
record
business
Ministry.
Let
me
start
with
the
in
AIW.
We
work
very
closely
with
boys
school
of
law.
In
fact,
we
get
a
lot
of
most
of
our
attorneys
through
that
and
and
we're
hiring
them
as
a
legal
assistant
or
apparel,
so
they
can
work
with
us
and
then
once
they
get
through
the
bar,
they
come
they're
promoted
to
a
full
attorney.
So
yes,
we
are.
S
We
are
doing
that
and
that
has
been
very
successful
for
us
I'm
going
to
have
my
deputy
director
interim
deputy
director
Perry
Fagan
come
up
and
talk
to
you
about
some
of
the
training
programs
that
we
are
doing,
especially
with
the
military
to
be
able
to
get
people
into
our
jobs
through
BNI,
so
Perry.
W
Good
morning,
Perry
Fagan
for
the
record
interim
deputy
director
with
business
and
industry.
One
of
the
internship
programs
that
we
are
currently
operating
through
business
and
industry,
with
a
couple
of
our
divisions,
is
the
skill
bridge
program
through
the
Department
of
Defense.
W
This
program
was
recently
provided
as
a
way
for
us
to
bring
in
some
of
the
skilled
positions,
as
military
personnel
are
getting
ready
to
exit
their
service,
so
for
the
last
six
months
of
their
service,
they
are
able
to
come
in.
The
dod,
provides
them
with
financial
support.
We
put
them
into
a
position
where
they're
able
to
intern
and
learn,
and
then
they
have
the
opportunity,
then
to
move
into
the
position
that
they
are
currently
in.
By
applying
for
that
position,
we
currently
have
I
believe
two
people
currently
working
through
the
division
of
industrial
relations.
W
K
And
thank
you
for
that.
That's
awesome,
right,
I,
I
just
want
to
see
if
you
can
create
it.
What
is
happening
on
the
dod
side
just
create
a
separate
one
for
existing
employees
that
are
dislocated
or
high
school.
Well,
they
wouldn't
be
high.
Well,
some
are
high
school
graduates,
but
also
college
students,
and
using
that
we
owe
a
Workforce
is
one
of
our
benchmark.
K
I
guess
issues
in
the
state
and
we
need
to
start
drawing
the
circle
right
and
connecting
the
dots
with
the
workforce
goals
that
we
have
on
one
end
with
the
state
agency
need
on
the
other
right
and
the
citizens
who
need
to
be
plugged
in
and
it's
and
it's
possible
I'm.
Just
I'm
not
gonna
leave
this
alone,
but
it's
I'll
talk
to
you
after,
but
I
seriously
want
you
to
have
this
conversation.
K
The
the
next
question
that
I
had,
though,
was
on
Slide,
13.
and
the
home
is
possible,
was
brought
up
earlier
by
assembly.
K
Woman
hadaki
but
I
wanted
to
know
the
special
programs
for
teachers
and
veterans
how
that's
working
because
and
also,
if
you
guys,
would
consider
adding,
maybe
I,
don't
know
if
you
have
a
bdr
but
dealing
with
the
the
residents
doctors
who
are
trying
to
look
for
homes
as
well,
because
what
I'm
hearing
more
often
is
their
residents
are
making
the
decision
as
they're
in
going
to
their
last
year
of
whether
or
not
they're
going
to
stay
here
or
not,
and
because
they
cannot
afford
a
current
property.
K
And
there
are
no
programs
set
aside
for
a
resident
to
try
to
get
down
payment
assistance,
because
the
income
guidelines
are
too
low
for
a
resident
that
is
leaving
turo,
whether
or
not
they're
leaving
a
UNR
or
any
other
medical
program
that
we
have
here.
And
so
you
know-
and
this
is
a
way
to
try
to
keep
what
we're
training
in
the
state
by
offering
them
programs
foreign.
S
Let
me
let
me
address
that
I
think
it's
important.
This
is
Terry
Reynolds
director
for
Department
of
Business
and
Industry.
We've
had
very
good
success
with
our
teacher
program,
where
we
help
with
down
payment
assistance
and
if
a
teacher
stays
within
a
community,
especially
in
a
rural
area
for
over
five
years,
we'll
forgive
that
portion
of
the
of
that
loan,
and
so
that
that
has
been
a
very
successful
program
for
us.
S
In
addition
to
that,
we
have
assistance
for
more
assistance
for
veterans
which
basically
takes
down
several
percent
of
the
of
the
cost
of
their
of
their
mortgage
for
a
period
of
time,
so
that
really
helps
them
get
into
housing
for
that
all
of
those
meet.
Basically,
the
income
requirements,
for
you
know,
for
doctors
and
or
for
professional
positions
that
are
hard
to
keep
within
the
community
are
hard
to
find
housing.
S
We'd
have
to
look
at
that
to
see
if
we
won't
get
into
problems
with
the
income
limits
as
they
progress
in
their
profession,
but
we
are
have
been
very
successful
for
the
down
payment
assistance
programs
that
we've
operated,
like
I,
said
both
in
in
the
rural
areas,
where
there's
where
they
have
done
that
for
teachers
and
for
veterans
so,
and
we
we
plan
on
continuing
those
programs,
especially
now
as
interest
rates,
are
creeping
up
considerably.
S
Although
for
some
of
us
that
bought
houses
a
long
time
ago,
where
you
know
we're
in
a
very
comfortable
range
still,
but
for
others
that
you
know
have
not
seen
six
percent
seven
percent
interest
rates.
It's
it's
daunting.
So
we're
trying
to
look
at
that
to
see
what
we
can
do,
but
we
are
involved
in
those
programs
and
and
we'll
try
to
expand
them
as
we
go
forward
in
the
future.
K
A
You,
madam
chair,
thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
Mr
Reynolds,
for
reminding
me
that
I
thought,
10
or
11
was
a
really
good
rate.
That's
right,
we'll
go
to
Senator
Titus
and
then
we'll
go
to
Senator
Ganser
and
then
we'll
wrap
this
up
so
that
we
don't
hold
general
Barry
any
longer
great.
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
mine,
should
be
just
quick
questions.
First,
thank
you
for
numbering
your
pages,
so
that
we
can
refer
back
to
them
on
page
25.,
the
Nevada,
Transportation
Authority
just
curious
questions,
and
you
can
get
me
this
information
afterwards.
L
You
did
the
list
of
the
laundry
list,
literally
of
who
you
do
regulate,
but
what's
not
on
there
and
I'm
curious
who
does
regulate
these
are
the
charter
buses?
Are
they
part
of
like
the
tour
buses?
Is
that
what
you
would
include.
S
Terry
Reynolds
for
the
record.
Yes,
that
is
correct
charter
buses
that
operate
within
the
state,
not
from
out
of
state.
So
it's
not
Interstate
Commerce,
but
charter
buses
that
run
in
the
state
are
regulated
by
us.
Okay,.
S
Not
by
us,
because
those
are
really
regulated,
there's
an
exemption
for
education
and
school
buses
also
like
RTC
their
buses,
those
are
exempt,
so
we
do
not
regulate
those
they're.
M
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
I
wanted
to
go
back
to
the
tax-exempt
bonds
that
are
used
for
housing
and
it
sounded
like
we
had
about
a
quarter
of
a
million
dollar,
no
250
million
dollars
225
to
250
a
year,
typically
and
and
that
maybe
some
of
them
were
unused
and
so
I
think
you
said
the
balance
was
like
750
million
or
something
like
that.
M
So
I
was
trying
to
figure
out
if
those
those
credits
if
they
have
been
unused
and
for
what
reason
and
then
also,
if
they're,
being
used
in
the
stack
of
funding
with
the
homies
Nevada
dollars,.
S
Okay,
two
separate
questions
here:
Terry
Reynolds
for
the
record
first-
is
that
we
are
allowed
to
carry
over
our
volume
cap.
What
we
call
volume
cap
authorization
on
a
calendar
year
comes
to
us
on
a
calendar
year
basis
based
on
the
state's
population.
We
can
carry
that
over
for
three
years
and
we
pretty
much
will
be
able
to
use
all
of
it
all
the
all
the
time
we
have
gosh
in
the
last
10
years.
I,
don't
think
we
have
let
very
much
of
that
allocation
slip
by.
S
So
we
have
an
overall
list
that
goes
from
the
last
time
we
discussed
this.
We
were
able
to
fund
down
past
that
initial
list
of
projects,
because
we
have
the
226
million
authorization
that
it
went
into
additional
funds
with
our
volume
cap
allocation.
So,
yes,
we
use
100
percent
of
it
these
days
and
we
do
match
additional
projects
that
go
through.
S
So
we
work
with
developers
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
if
they
have
gaps
that
we
use
the
arpa
funding
for
but
generally
the
housing
funds
are
basically
revenue,
bonds,
they're,
the
private
entities
work
with
and
and
pay
off
for
that.
So
we're
very
been
very
successful
in
in
doing
that,
it
has
allowed
us
to
double
the
amount
of
projects
that
we
would
normally
have
within
a
fiscal
year.
H
Thank
you
so
much
Tara
for
the
Indulgence
good
to
see
you
again,
director
Reynolds
quick
question
under
the
Nevada
housing
division.
You
had
a
section
there
where
you
set
the
housing
database
reporting
where
people
can
go
and
look
for
rentals
that
are
available,
who,
who
is
posting
their
rentals
to
that
site?.
V
Steve
akroth
administrator
of
the
Nevada
housing
division.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
First,
off,
it's
envyhousingsearch.org
and
I
have
an
employee
back
at
the
division
who,
if
I
don't
plug
this
envyhousingsearch.org
at
least
three
times,
is
going
to
chastise
me
for
not
bringing
it
up.
So
that's
envyhousingsearch.org.
V
V
V
A
A
X
Thank
you
very
much.
Andre
Berry,
Nevada,
National,
Guard
Office
of
the
military
also
have
with
me
today:
Chief
Dave,
Ferguson
who's,
our
Department
of
Emergency
Management
Chief,
and
our
state
administrator,
Cheryl
Tyler.
First
of
all,
I
just
want
to
say
to
each
of
you.
Thank
you
for
your
service.
We
hear
that
a
lot
but
I
know
which
I
have
to
go
too
also.
X
First
of
all,
our
the
mission
of
the
office
of
the
military
is
to
enlist
organized
arm,
equip
and
train
the
state's
military.
We
have
three
missions:
it's
the
federal
Mission,
which
is
the
war
fight.
The
Homeland
Mission.
Our
domestic
operation
is
what
we'll
call
it,
and
then
we
have
state
Partnerships,
as
my
role
as
the
agent
in
general
is
to
provide
administrative,
administrative
oversight
for
the
organization
which
consists
of
the
Nevada
Army
National
Guard,
Nevada,
Air,
National,
Guard,
Department
of
Emergency
Management
and
our
state
employees
I.
X
X
I
also
want
to
say
that
we
can
respond
to
pretty
much
anything
that
the
governor
asked
us
to
respond
to
as
if
it
meets
within
the
guidelines
of
an
emergency.
Our
vision,
which
I
talk
about
a
lot,
is
our
soldiers
into
Airmen,
providing
hope
and
service,
we're
really
on
the
front
lines
as
support
to
this
great
state
of
Nevada
and
is
provided
through
safety,
unity
and
integrity.
X
X
Sometimes
our
citizens
don't
know
that
we're
all
around
the
state
and
in
the
rural
areas
also-
and
this
will
give
you
just
a
quick
picture
of
all
the
locations
and
some
of
the
missions
and
Facilities
that
we
have
throughout
the
state
and
not
when
I
talk
about
also
facilities.
One
of
the
things
that
are
very
important
to
us
right
now
is
we
are
growing
as
an
organization
and
so
everything
that
we
have
we
need
and
more.
X
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
it
just
talks
about
just
briefly
our
strategic
priorities
and
it
always
ends
and
starts
with
Readiness,
just
recently
returned
from
Romania,
and
you
have
some
outstanding
military
police
they're
in
a
war
zone
and
I.
Think
I
can
say
this
publicly
because
it's
not.
This
is
not
a
secret.
There
are
about
seven
minutes
from
missile
strike
and
when
you
talk
to
the
Garrison
Commander,
they
it
takes
about
15
minutes
to
get
to
a
bunker.
X
So
sometimes
people
just
don't
realize
the
Harm's
Way
that
our
military
members
are
in.
We
also
have
Personnel
in
Qatar,
Jordan,
Kuwait,
Germany
and
Africa.
So
care
of
our
members
is
very
huge
in
terms
of
what
we
ask
them
to
do.
Also,
if
you
look
at
one
of
our
priorities-
diversity,
Equity
inclusion,
because
we
believe
that
if
you're
a
citizen
of
of
of
this
of
our
state,
are
you
qualified
to
be
in
the
military
we
take
whosoever
will,
if
you
will
take
it
off
and
swore
to
defend
the
Constitution
of
the
United
States.
X
We
will
take
you
into
our
organization.
Also.
We
talk
about
community,
we
are
a
community-based
organization
and
that
is
really
critical
in
terms
of
us
being
visible
and
being
out
there
and
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
with
some
of
our
initiatives
and
then
the
last
one
is
development.
We
put
a
lot
of
time
and
attention
into
developing
the
force,
our
state,
our
families,
our
leaders,
we're
better
when
we
develop
them
on
the
right
side.
X
There
there's
a
big
challenge
to
get
people
to
join
now,
not
just
from
the
standpoint
of
qualifications,
but
also
in
terms
of
what
you're
asked
to
do
in
this
profession.
But
but
but
you
will
hear
that
we
do
very
good
in
terms
of
recruiting
in
our
deox,
which
is
put
on
by
the
defense
equal
opportunity,
Military
Institute,
where
you
take
a
Anonymous
survey
of
how
your
force
is
doing.
We
improved
in
every
single
area
in
the
Army
side
and
the
majority
of
the
areas
on
the
arm
on
the
air
side.
X
So
the
culture
is
very
good.
We
also
when
we
talk
about
our
state
Partnerships
we
just
found
out
recently.
One
of
our
Partnerships
is
with
Fiji
another
one
is
with
Tonga
and
we
just
found
out
we
secured
Samoa,
which
is
in
the
South
Pacific.
So
that
is
great
news
for
the
state
of
Nevada
and
they
want
to
these.
X
Three
countries
want
to
take
a
whole
of
government
approach,
and
so
you'll
hear
us
not
just
talking
about
how
we
can
work
with
them
on
a
military
side,
but
also
from
a
business
and
industry
also
from
learning
technology.
They
want
to
work
more
with
our
state
government,
so
you'll
see
more
of
the
Nevada
being
involved
in
this
in
the
South
Pacific
with
our
state
government,
we
also
have
a
high
school
in
Carland.
It's
called
the
battleborn
Youth
Challenge
Academy.
X
We
have
59
students
in
there
right
now,
so
they
will
be
there
in
the
five-month
program
and
they
can
they
will
either
graduate
high
school
or
they
will
integrate,
go
back
into
the
the
school
system
for
their
respective
area
that
they
live
in
the
state.
Also,
we
have
two
star-based
campuses,
one
in
Henderson
and
one
in
Reno
and
Starbase
is
a
stem
program
where
we
bring
fifth
graders
in.
If
they
meet
the
criteria
of
a
title,
title
title
one
school,
then
they're
busting
and
they
go
from
five
weeks.
X
They
go
one
day
a
week
to
learn
stem
and
it's
certified
teachers.
We
have
mous
with
the
Clark
County
School
District
and
the
Washington
County
School
District.
We
also
have
adopted
two
schools,
one
North
and
one
South
recently
in
the
state
of
Nevada.
We
are
the
top
five
in
the
nation
in
recruiting.
So
when
a
lot
of
of
the
other
53
States
territories
and
districts
are
struggling
with
recruiting,
we
are
doing
very
well
with
recruiting.
We
also
have
a
signature
course.
X
We
call
Purple
resolve,
which
is
a
course
where
we
really
want
to
talk
about
how
we
give
them
more
balance
and
Readiness.
If
you
know
in
in
the
military
profession,
if
you
think
about
mental
wellness
and
mental
health
suicides,
and
things
like
that,
it
became
important
for
us
to
put
together
an
initiative
where
we
can
take
care
of
the
individual
and
we
allow
their
significant
others
and
spouses
to
come
to
the
course.
We
now
have
this
course
in
over
10
states.
X
It's
been
looked
at
by
the
White
House,
and
so
we-
and
we
also
thank
the
state
for
the
funding
that
you've
provided
for
us
to
continue
to
this
initiative
and
also
how
we
take
care
of
the
force,
we're
also
the
top
five
in
the
nation
in
medical
Readiness,
which
again
just
let
you
know
your
St.
Your
state
is
healthy
in
terms
of
your
your
military,
not
just
what
they
do
across
the
globe,
but
also
what
they
do
within
the
state
and
also
what
they
do
in
the
South
Pacific.
X
One
of
the
things
that
I
am
working
on,
hopefully
to
have
by
the
time
within
the
month
of
the
legislature,
starting,
is
a
the
show,
the
value
proposition
of
your
National
Guard
recently,
just
today,
I
actually
talked
to
my
chief
of
staff.
X
We're
looking
at
plans
of
how
to
grow
the
guard
by
from
a
thousand
to
Seventeen
hundred
over
the
next
few
years,
and
to
take
that
it's
going
to
require
infrastructure,
it's
going
to
require
support,
it's
going
to
require
resources,
and
so,
when
we
cut
our
ask
or
not
because
of
the
challenges
we
have
in
terms
of
problems
where
our
challenges
are,
the
ability
to
grow
and
I
have
a
different
hat,
I
think
about
quality
of
life,
I
think
about
jobs,
I
think
about
resources,
I
think
about
you
know
how
we
can
help
the
tax
base,
and
so
your
Nevada
Military
Department
is
doing
everything
it
can
to
better
support,
not
just
what
we
do
from
a
military
side,
but
also
be
a
value
add
to
this
data
as
a
whole.

provide
the
federal
grants
to
our
local
government
and
non-profit
partners
and
then
3675
that
defunds,
the
office
of
Homeland
Security.
T
Nevada
division,
Emergency,
Management,
Homeland
Security,
is
Nevada's
disaster
coordinating
partner.
We
try
to
make
sure
that
we
are
in
everyone's
community
that
we
know
all
the
local
government
Partners.
We
know
all
the
state
partners
that
way.
We
can
be
that
coordinating
piece,
we're
not
in
charge
of
anything
we're
going
to
become
completely
responsible
for
it
in
the
end,
but
in
the
front
side
all
we
are
is
about.
How
do
we
make
friends?
How
do
we
share
the
funds?
How
do
we
make
sure
that
everyone
is
planned,
prepared
and
ready
for
that
disaster
to
occur?
T
Our
vision
really
is
to
build
resilience
through
coordination
and
Partnerships,
and
we
do
that
by
Outreach
to
all
the
local
communities
and
then
our
state
agencies
and
getting
everyone
engaged
and
involved
in
a
good
discussion
about
how
do
we
make
tomorrow?
Is
that
way?
Nevada
our
residents
and
our
tourists
are
more
resilient
than
they
are
today.
We
obviously
have
a
mission
and
and
values
and
and
all
these
have
been
developed
over
the
last
18
months,
actually
through
the
covid
process.
T
T
This
also
developed
three
goals
for
our
organization.
We
want
to
actually
cultivate
a
diverse
in
professional
Emergency,
Management
Workforce,
who
embodies
Integrity
collaboration
and
Innovation,
and
this
is
not
just
at
the
state
level.
This
is
in
our
school
districts.
This
is
in
our
cities,
this
in
our
counties.
This
is
our
non-profit
communities
that
we
engage
with
to
make
sure
that
we
have
professional
emergency
managers
covet
has
shown
everyone
what
Emergency
Management
is
before
covet.
No
one
knew
what
Emergency
Management
really
did.
T
We
want
to
strengthen
Nevada
by
supporting
the
development
and
Improvement
capabilities
capacities
and
Communications
again,
not
all
through
our
efforts,
but
through
our
coordination
efforts
to
get
all
of
our
partners.
So
that
way
we
make
Nevada
better
and
we
lean
coordinate,
Equitable
delivery,
Emergency
Management
resources
and
services
the
whole
Community.
This
is
an
especially
important
to
us.
If
you
look
back
to
Katrina,
where
people
got
left
in
the
town
and
not
evacuated
same
thing
happened
during
the
caldorf
fire.
Some
people
got
left
in
South,
Lake
Tahoe,
not
evacuated.
T
Our
division
is
pretty
small
But
Mighty.
We
have
40
full-time
employees
right
now
and
some
contractors
that
we'll
talk
about.
We
work
directly
for
Major
General
Barry
as
the
state
adjutant
general
is
a
state
active
duty,
employee,
and
then
we
have
two
divisions
or
two
sections
within
our
division
really
an
operation
side.
That's
run
by
our
Deputy
Administrator
John
back
at
all,
and
this
is
where
we
do
planning
training
exercise.
We
get
the
emergency
support
functions
together
in
the
Nevada
Nevada
operations
center.
This
is
where
you
see
DPS
indot
office,
of
cyber
defense,
intac.
T
All
the
all
the
agencies,
including
it
was
really
nice
to
hear
from
the
housing
division
today
because
he
has
been
on
every
call
about
covid
and
every
weekly
brief
talking
about
how
we
get
people
back
their
homes
out
of
recovery
and
that
support
function.
So
it
really
is
that
whole
government
approach
and
that's
what
the
operations
side
does
for
us
is
get
all
those
Partners
together
and
then
we
have
the
the
fiscal
side
which
works
on
financing
grants,
and
this
is
a
change
that
we
did
in
the
last
two
years.
T
Thanks
to
to
efforts
from
last
biennium,
we
Consolidated
the
grants
and
finance
divisions
because
they
weren't
talking
very
well
together,
and
so
now,
we've
Consolidated
them
together
under
the
single
leadership
of
our
CFO
Jared
Franco.
So
that
way
we
can
actually
move
that
money
quicker
faster
and
be
a
little
more
accountable
for
it.
In
our
operations
we
do
have
a
number
of
public
bodies.
T
We
have
two
that
are
led
by
the
governor,
the
Homeland,
Security
Commission
and
then
his
appointee
for
the
committee
on
finance,
and
this
is
kind
of
the
the
gold
standard
public
body
that
we
we
deal
with
every
day.
Then
we
have
the
government
developed,
which
is
a
recently
developed
one
on
cyber
security,
cyber
security.
T
You
heard
earlier
from
business
industry,
you
heard
from
General
Barry,
everyone
has
a
piece
of
cyber
security,
and
so
the
cyber
security
task
force
is
designed
to
get
everyone
together
at
the
table
from
local
governments
or
schools,
our
Health
Community
the
state.
So
that
way
we
can
all
have
a
conversation
about.
Where
is
cyber
security?
What
is
cyber
security
Hughes
doing?
What
and
how
do
we
get
grant
funding
to
do
those
different
programs
and
how
do
we
add
some
efficiencies
from
them?
T
Working
together
we
have
two
committees
that
were
developed
through
the
NRS
414
emergency
preparedness
working
group.
This
enables
us
to
get
some
counties
that
receive
the
state
receives
money
for
radiological
monitoring
from
the
Department
of
energy.
This
group
gets
together
so
that
way
we
can.
We
can
get
those
funds
out
to
those
counties
that
get
those
funds
and
make
sure
that
it's
Equitable
delivery
to
all
of
them,
and
we
have
a
hazard
mitigation
working
group
we're
one
of
the
few
States
nationally.
T
That
has
an
enhanced
Hazard
mitigation
plan,
because
one
of
the
things
we're
trying
to
do
is
buy
down
that
risk
for
tomorrow.
How
do
we
move
that
house
out
of
the
flood
plain?
How
do
we
make
that
roadway
better,
so
the
next
time
that
road
doesn't
flood?
How
do
we
make
it
so
that
way,
post
fire?
We
don't
have
that
flood
that
goes
through
the
Tamarack
Scar
and
washes
out
Highway
395.
T
Then
we
have
the
Nevada
tribal
emergency
coordinating
Council.
This
has
a
seat
available
for
every
tribe,
in
the
state
of
Nevada
to
be
able
to
give
myself
and
our
division
the
same
Emergency
Management
advice
that
we
get
from
the
resilience,
advisory,
commission
or
Council,
but
looking
at
it
from
the
lens
of
the
tribal
Nations,
and
we
do
employ
two
tribal
coordinators
at
the
state
and
through
a
nice
partnership
we
have
the
division
of
public
and
Behavioral
Health,
one
working
on
public
health
preparedness,
one
working
on
Emergency
Management.
T
Then
we
have
the
state
disaster,
unification,
Coordination
Committee,
and
you
hear
more
about
that
this
session,
because
we
do
have
a
bill
to
try
to
clean
up
some
of
that
language.
For
that
committee.
This
committee
is
really
designed
for
post-disaster.
How
do
we
identify
the
remains
of
people?
How
do
we
get
victims,
reunified
with
their
families
that
might
not
have
their
identifications?
T
If
you
remember
one
October
people
were
taking
a
hospital
by
different
means
and
a
lot
of
their
IDs,
their
cell
phones
and
everything
were
left
on
scene,
and
so
how
do
we
identify
that
person?
How
do
we
get
that
information
back?
So
when
a
family
member
calls
them
says
where
is
Major
General
Barry,
we
can
help
find
what
hospitals
he's
at
and
hopefully
never
has
to
go
to
the
hospital.
T
Right
now
we
have
four
tribes
that
have
opted
in
and
no
local
governments
have
opted
out,
and
this
really
helps
us
during
the
Caldor
fire.
We're
able
to
move
resources
from
Southern
Nevada
up
to
Northern
Nevada
and
they
covered
Lake
Tahoe.
That
way
those
Lake
Tahoe
fire
agencies
could
go
to
the
fire,
whereas
Southern
Nevada,
firefighters,
weren't
able
to
go
to
the
fire
because
they
lacked
that
Wildland
fire
training,
but
they're
able
to
still
run
the
medical
calls.
T
The
structure
fire
calls
the
technical
rescue
calls
all
the
other
stuff
here
at
home,
and
so
it
was
a
great
example
of
how
we
use
that
committee
to
move
those
resources
around,
and
then
we
also
have
the
state
search
and
rescue
board,
while
the
sheriff
of
each
county
is
responsible
for
search
and
rescue,
where
the
state
agency
response
will
help
coordinate
their
activities,
we
do
identify
a
number
of
threats.
Obviously,
cyber
security
is
probably
the
top
of
mind
for
a
lot
of
folks
right
now,
and
then
we
have
those
other,
no
notice.
T
Events
like
earthquakes
and
a
great
picture
here
from
Wells
our
last
major
earthquake
that
had
significant
damage,
but
Nevada
does
have
a
single
reported
death
from
earthquake.
Only
one
person
has
died
in
Nevada
from
an
earthquake
and
that
earthquake
actually
happened
in
California
and
the
death
was
in
Nye
County
from
a
gentleman
that
was
working
underneath
a
car
that
fell
on
top
of
him
when
he
was
underneath
it.
T
So
we've
got
a
good
history
of
not
a
lot
of
fatalities,
but
we
can't
forget
unreinforced,
mainstream
buildings
that
we
have
throughout
the
state
and
what
is
going
to
happen
and
how
do
we
get
those
resources
for
that?
Obviously
Wildfire.
It's
a
huge
issue
for
us
in
the
state
of
Nevada
flood,
like
we've,
seen
the
potential
for
already
this
year
and
that
winter
storm
specimens,
coupled
with
the
power
outage
like
we
had
at
the
start
of
the
year
pandemic,
and
in
that
criminal,
active
shooter
that
complex
coordinated
terrorist
attack.
T
That's
always
on
everyone's
big
Minds
that
should
that
ever
occur,
and
then
each
year
we
identify
risk
that
we
want
to
buy
down,
and
we
work
through
this
with
our
partners
to
identify
these
items,
and
these
are
really
complicated,
Federal
terms
that
they
use,
but
this
year
we're
looking
for
operational
coordination.
How
do
we
get
all
of
us
to
play
better
in
our
sandbox
together
operational
Communications?
How
do
we
make
sure
we
can
all
talk
to
one
another?
We
do
have
one
rural
County
that
has
four
disparate
Radio
Systems.
T
So
how
do
we
get
that
fire
department
talking
to
the
police
department
talking
the
sheriff's
department
talking
to
their
Ambulance
Company
when
they're
all
on
different
Radio,
Systems
and
then
supply
chain
integrity?
And
this
is
in
here
not
only
for
the
supply
chain,
Integrity
that
you're
thinking
of,
but
also
think
about
that
electrical
issue.
We
had
at
the
beginning
of
the
year
data
supply
chain,
Integrity
just
like
trying
to
get
the
parts
to
build
a
computer
chip.
T
We
work
on
a
mantra
that
all
infants
are
locally
executed,
State,
guide
and
fedgy
supported.
We
don't
want
to
your
sub
or
shoot.
We
don't
want
to
overstep
our
bounds
by
forcing
our
local
Partners
to
do
anything.
But
we
are
there
tapping
on
our
shoulders,
leaning
forward
and
making
sure
that
they're
ready
and
they
know
what's
going
on
and
we're
here
to
help
them.
T
So
the
big
thing
we
do
is
that
coordination
piece.
We
also
run
a
24-hour
duty
officer
who
takes
all
those
calls
from
all
of
our
partners
when
they
need
help.
We
run
the
Nevada
operations
center,
so
when
the
duty
officer
gets
overwhelmed
when
that
incident
gets
bigger
and
we
need
to
bring
in
those
emergency
support,
functions
and
those
recovery
support
functions
and
we
need
to
start
talking
about
housing.
We
need
to
talk
about
evacuations.
We
need
to
talk
about
Sheltering.
We
need
to
talk
about
health
care.
T
This
is
where
we
open
the
Nevada
operations
center
and
we
bring
in
all
those
subject
matter,
experts
from
the
state
agencies
to
help
us.
We
also
manage
this
Incident
Management
assistant
teams
and
that
interoperable
communication
piece
of
how
do
those
different
agencies
talk
to
one
another.
We
do
tribal
emergency
coordination.
We
provide
funding
to
a
lot
of
our
local
Partners,
but
a
lot
of
our
tribes
are
too
Rural
and
too
small
to
actually
fund
an
emergency
manager
themselves,
and
so
through
a
partnership
with
division
of
public
Behavioral
Health.
T
Both
of
us
apply
a
contract
employee
that
one
works
on
an
emergency
management
side.
One
works
on
public
health
preparedness
side.
So
that
way,
every
tribal
nation
has
got
them
to
rely
upon
for
their
emergency
manager
without
having
to
hire
one
in
a
remote
community
that
maybe
not
be
able
to
afford
one
and
then
radiological
Readiness.
We
have
the
the
king
of
radiation
for
the
state
John
back
at
all.
Is
your
Deputy.
He
if
you
want
to
know
something
about
radiation.
T
This
gentleman
is
the
person
who
knows
it
all
and
in
those
grants
whether
it's
a
Homeland
Security
Grant,
a
cyber
security,
Grant
Emergency,
Management,
Department
of
energy,
Hazard
mitigation
or
the
post-disaster
assistance,
and
this
is
where
we're
spending
a
lot
of
time.
Right
now
we
have
a
137
million
dollars
worth
of
open
grants
for
covid.
That's
going
to
our
local
government,
the
state
government
and
their
non-profit
Partners
we've
been
able
to
reimburse
57
million
dollars
as
of
this
morning
and
we're
just
waiting
on
the
documentations
from
our
partners
to
reimburse
the
remainder.
T
So
we
had
seven
budget
goals.
We
built
the
budget
this
year.
Some
of
these
we
did
meet.
Some
of
these
we
did
not
meet.
Our
first
budget
goal
was
to
build
State
capacity
to
reduce
Reliance
on
a
third-party
in-kind
Grant
match
to
Federal
funding.
We
weren't
able
to
quite
meet
that
goal,
so
we
still
have
to
rely
upon
local
government
Partners
to
supply
the
grant
match
for
us.
T
We
want
to
transition
our
long-term
contractors
to
State
full-time
equivalent
employees.
We
have
one
employee.
That's
worked
for
the
division
for
11
years
in
contract
status
to
me
that
that
your
sub
Authority-
and
so
we
want
to
move
those
employees
over
to
full-time
employment
status
and
not
have
them
as
contractors
to
get
around
different
rules.
T
We
need
to
update
the
Nevada
operations
center.
It's
not
currently
ADA
Compliant,
and
so
we
want
to
do
some
work
to
fix
that
system
up.
We
want
to
fund
the
Statewide
New
Year's
Eve
mission
that
we
do
with
the
guard.
We've
had
to
go
to
the
interim
finance
committee
for
multiple
years
asking
for
that
this
year,
it's
in
the
governor's
executive
budget
asking
for
your
approvals.
That
way,
we
don't
have
to
come
back
to
IFC,
for
that.
That
is
a
huge
win.
T
We
wanted
to
add
a
rural
coordinator,
GIS
technician,
some
fiscal
support.
So
that
way
we
can
Shore
up
some
areas
that
we
know
that
we're
lacking
through
these
disasters.
If
we
weren't
able
to
meet
those
goals,
you
want
to
create
a
host
fund
for
food
during
incidents
and
exercises
when
we
are
using
federal
funds,
such
as
when
we
are
have
the
guards
members
in
at
New
Year's
Eve.
How
do
we
fund?
How
do
we
feed
them
when
we
don't
want
them
taking
their
their
weapons
and
their
stuff
into
a
casino
for
food?
T
How
do
we
feed
that
indot
employee,
that's
sitting
on
Highway
208
and
there's
no
one
else
to
go
relieve
him
at
the
roadblock,
and
so
we
need
to
figure
out
a
way
to
do
that
within
the
allowances
of
the
state.
And
then
we
want
a
true
up
budget
to
work
to
reduce
work
programs
with
all
of
our
grants,
we're
pretty
stable
on
the
grants
now
at
the
federal
level.
So
we
want
to
be
able
to
reduce
our
work
programs
and
true
up
some
of
those
items.
B
Good
afternoon,
Jared
Franco
for
the
record
ASO
3
for
the
division
of
Emergency
Management
Homeland
Security
I'll,
be
discussing
some
of
our
major
enhancements
that
we
were
requesting
for
this
upcoming
biennium,
beginning
with
the
e367,
which
is
the
request
for
a
full-time
employee
for
the
Statewide
9-1-1
coordinator.
The
main
roles
for
this
position
will
be
to
coordinate
and
assist
state
and
local
government
agencies
in
implementing
Next
Generation
911
systems
provide
legislative
mandated
oversight
and
address
911
technological
advancements.
B
The
next
enhancement
unit
is
e370
was,
which
is
an
increase
in
our
operational
category,
to
pay
for
building
rent.
We
currently
share
a
space
with
the
Nevada
division
of
Forestry
this
summer,
they'll
be
moving
out
and
moving
back
in
with
their
department,
and
we
will
be
occupying
that
much
needed
space
for
our
staff.
So
the
request
is
to
increase
our
authority
to
pay
the
additional
rent
we
will
incur
the
next
enhancement
unit
or
the
next
two
enhancement.
B
Units
e373
and
e374,
are
both
a
request
for
to
create
new
positions
for
both
of
the
tribal
health
and
tribal
Emergency.
Management
coordinators
that
Chief
ogarson
were
talking
about.
They
are
both
funded
by
federal
health
Grant.
As
of
right
now,
our
request
is
to
convert
those
contractors
into
full-time
employees.
B
Of
the
next
enhancement
unit
is
e376
and
it's
a
request
to
increase
our
travel
to
what
it
was
prior
to
covid.
As
Chief
was
saying,
the
majority
of
our
job
is
to
do
Outreach
and
meet
with
our
local
jurisdictions
in
US.
Nevada
is
a
pretty
large
state
which
requires
us
to
travel
the
majority
of
the
of
our
time.
B
The
next
enhancement
we're
requesting
is
for
the
e377,
which
is
a
Statewide
New
Year's
Eve
Mission,
and
this
request
is
to
create
a
permanent
general
fund
authority
to
be
able
to
fund
New
Year's
Eve
missions
across
the
state
and
our
jurisdictions
that
experience
a
massive
increase
in
population
during
the
New
Year's
Eve
holiday.
B
The
next
two
enhancement
units
are
also
e378
and
e379
are
also
a
request
to
create
new
positions
to
convert
current
contractors
to
full-time
employees,
one
of
the
contractors
or
one
of
the
full-time
employees,
if
approved,
will
be
placed
in
our
planning,
training
and
exercise
section.
The
other
one
will
be
placed
in
our
preparedness
section.
B
The
next
budget
account
we'll
be
talking
about
is
budget
count
3674..
This
budget
count
is
a
pass-through
that
we
use
to
pay
the
local
jurisdictions
and
non-profits
the
monies
they
receive
through
the
grants
that
they've
applied
and
have
been
awarded.
We
don't
have
any
enhancements
in
this
budget,
account.
B
Budget
36.75
is
our
homeland
security
budget
account.
We
have
four
ftes
that
are
currently
under
salary
in
this
budget
account,
which
is
Chief
Ferguson,
Administrative
Assistant
for
a
management
analyst
two
that's
assists
with
the
homeland
security,
Security
checks
and
intact
supervisor,
which
is
the
Nevada
Fusion
Center,
and
the
only
enhancement
we
have
in
this
budget
account
is
to
also,
as
a
request,
also
increase
the
travel
to
bring
it
to
what
it
was
prior
to
covet
as
well.
B
I'll
pass
it
back
to
General
Barry
right.
X
Major
General,
Barry
office
of
military
I
will
say
this
before
open
up
for
questions,
one
of
the
at
the
last
session
they
put
the
Department
of
Emergency
Management
off
the
military
which
nobody's
asking
but
I
think
it's
one
of
the
best
decisions
that
we've
made
and
we
have
a
great
collaboration
and
partnership,
and
one
of
the
first
mandates
that
I
talked
to
the
chief
about
is
make
sure
the
whole
state
knows
the
capabilities
and
he's
extremely
visible
and
is
working
with
the
different
entities
in
Mercy
Emergency
managers
and
First
Responders
Etc
to
know
the
capabilities
and
that
we
want
to
collaborate
and
be
great
partners
and
they've
been
phenomenal
at
that
I'm
actually
surprised
they
didn't
ask
for
twice
as
much
in
the
budget,
because
that's
just
important.
X
We
are
one
incident
away
from
something
really
challenging
to
happen
to
our
state,
but
through
prevention,
intervention,
communication,
collaboration
partnership.
We
can
mitigate
that-
and
this
is
a
critical
critical
area
for
us
and
they've
done
a
phenomenal
job
of
really
ramping
up
our
capabilities
and
visibilities
and
working
with
the
whole
state.
So
if
you
went
from
where
we
were
just
two
years
ago
to
today,
they've
just
made
great
strides,
and
so
I
just
want
to
publicly
just
thank
them
for
what
they've
done.
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
that
presentation.
I
will
start
with
assembly
woman,
Anderson.
J
Thank
you
chair
and
thank
you
for
the
for
the
presentation,
General
Barry
and
your
team.
Excuse
me
my
first
question
because
I
have
two
or
three
is
actually
from
page
eight
of
our
presentation,
which
I
believe
would
be
slide
16
and
it
has
to
do
with
the
major
enhancement
for
E350.
J
You
mentioned
the
decision
to
request
for
a
psychological
health
manager
position
which
I
I'm
so
happy
that
you
are
putting
that
much
emphasis
on
Mental
Health.
That's
wonderful,
but
it
is
for
the
Northern
Nevada
area,
which
is
where
I'm
from.
But
what
about
the
southern
area
as
well?
The
rural
will
this
individual
be
doing
Telehealth
or
are
there
already
positions
for
those
individuals.
X
Adriana
Barry
Alpha
military
last
session.
You
granted
us
a
position
and
we
put
it
in
the
southern
part
of
the
state,
so
this
is
kind
of
making
the
state
whole
and
yes,
they
are
available
to
our
soldiers
and
Airmen
Statewide.
So
that's
just
it's
just
us
asking
for
equal
resources
in
the
north
that
we
have
down
the
South.
A
Questions,
okay
and
I
will
just
alert
the
committee
that
we
are
approaching
12
o'clock
and
we
have
a
one
o'clock
IFC
meetings.
So
if
we
can
do
anything
Offline
that
would
be
helpful
so.
J
My
other
question-
I
promise
will
be
very
quick,
has
to
do
with
the
page.
11
I
think
slide.
22
that
has
to
do
with
budget
count
3654
the
Patriot
Relief
Fund.
Is
this
a
new
account,
or
is
this
something
that's
currently
being
utilized.
Y
Good
morning,
Cheryl
Tyler
for
the
record.
No,
this
is
not
a
new
account.
It
is
an
existing
account.
K
You,
madam
chair
I,
just
had
a
quick
question
on
the
New
Year's
Eve
Statewide
funding
that
you're
seeking
what
is
the
city
and
county
portion
related
to
New
Year's
Eve
events,
because
it's
not
all
on
the
state
or
it
shouldn't
be.
T
Thank
you
for
the
question:
David
fulberson
division,
Emergency,
Management,
Homeland,
Security,
absolutely,
and
it's
a
joint
partnership
and
when
you
look
especially
at
Clark
County's
resources-
and
this
has
been
on
the
what
we've
been
talking
about
at
IFC
for
a
few
years
on
and
off,
they've
got
every
Metro
officer
either
on
days
or
on
nights.
They
go
to
a
two
shift
schedule.
T
They've
got
all
the
local
agencies
that
are
there
supporting
them
as
well,
and
they've
brought
in
extra
contractors
from
the
casino
industry
as
well,
and
so
there's
just
no
more
resources
for
them
to
tap
into
there.
And
our
rationale
for
wanting
to
do
this
is
to
protect
the
tax
base
and
a
tourism
industry
that
we
do
have
in
the
South.
They
put
a
lot
of
emphasis
on
this
from
the
local
government
side
to
make
sure
that
they're
fully
staffed,
there's
not
a
single
person
in
southern
Nevada
that
works
in
public
safety.
T
K
Z
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you
for
the
great
presentation,
Chief
fogerson.
This
question
is
really
I.
Think
for
you
and
your
presentation,
you
talked
about
the
Nevada
Ops
Center,
not
being
ADA,
Compliant
and
I'm
happy
to
take
this
offline.
If
it
is
a
detailed
answer,
I'm
curious
to
know
is
it
about
systems
or
is
it
about
buildings
that
we're
trying
to
make
compliant
with
the
Ada.
T
Great
question:
Dave
forson
for
the
record:
Nevada
division,
Emergency,
Management,
Homeland
Security,
it's
a
little
bit
of
both
part
of
it-
is
the
the
floor,
has
steps
in
it,
and
so
it's
not
capable
of
people
in
a
wheelchair
to
get
down.
There
is
a
wheelchair
ramp,
but
it
goes
a
little
steeper
than
what
it
should
and
then
it's
an
update
to
the
technology.
So
that
way
everyone
is
able
to
to
in
tune
with
that.
A
A
That
we
will
go
to
our
last
agenda
item
of
the
day
public
comment:
this
is
the
second
and
last
period
of
public
comment
on
the
agenda.
As
a
reminder,
due
to
time
considerations,
we
will
limit
each
person
to
two
minutes.
Please
remember
to
State
and
spell
your
name
for
the
record,
to
call
in
to
provide
testimony.
Please
dial.
