A
Thank
you.
It
looks
as
if
we've
got
most
all
of
the
members
back
on
and
we
were
even
joined
by
it
looks
like
senator
canizaro
has
an
assistant
with
her
as
well
to
help
her
finish
this
meeting
out
and
we
can
get
started
with
our
next
item
under
item
one
of
the
items
under
e
agenda
item
e,
and
that
is
item
45,
that's
e45,
and
that
is
the
department
of
health
and
human
services.
A
Welfare
and
supportive
services
and
on
that
work
program
we've
got
deputy
administrator
thompson
and
program
chief
wartman
meshberger,
and
so
if
mr
thompson
or
mrs
wardman
meshberger
are
ready
to
go,
we
can
get
started
with
that
item.
B
Yes,
we
are
ready
good
afternoon
for
the
record,
I'm
robert
thompson,
deputy
administrator
for
the
division
of
welfare
and
supportive
services.
I
have
on
the
line
with
me:
maria
warvin
meshberger,
our
social
services
chief,
who
is
the
division's
subject
matter
expert
in
the
area
of
energy
assistance,
including
the
new,
low-income
household
water
assistance
program.
B
The
american
recovery
act
plan
of
2021
approved
a
new
needs-based
program
to
assist
low-income
households
with
water
and
sewer
bills.
This
program
will
mirror
our
current
energy
assistance
program
targeting
the
same
households
with
similar
eligibility
requirements
for
providing
assistance
with
water
and
sewer
charges.
In
addition
to
the
current
program,
which
assists
with
heating
and
cooling
costs,
with
your
approval
division
plans
to
implement
this
program
by
march
of
2022,
we
are
still
working
through
the
state
plan
with
our
federal
partners,
but
the
march
2022
timeline
is
our
current
target,
with
all
funds
being
utilized
by
september.
A
All
right,
thank
you,
mr
thompson,
and
I
think
the
first
question
comes
from
assemblywoman
peters.
Thank
you.
C
B
I
was
wondering
if
you
could
give
us
a
little
bit
more
description
of
the
time
frame
for
developing
plan,
the
design
and
implementation
of
this
program.
B
Maria,
would
you
like
to
take
that
being
heavily
involved
in
the
timeline
good
afternoon,
maria
wartman-meshberger,
for
the
record,
so
we
are
required.
We
were
required
to
submit
a
state
plan
for
the
program
and
we
submitted
the
first
one
on
august
20th
of
this
year.
We
got
questions
back
from
the
fed
federal
government.
We
submitted
a
revised
plan
on
september
24th.
A
Thank
you
and
miss
assemblyman
watts
did.
Did
you
have
a
question,
a
follow-up
on
that
and
then
I
have
senator
kokochi.
D
Thanks,
mr
chair,
I
think
my
question
was
answered,
which
was
kind
of
I
just
wanted
to
get
some
clarity
on
when
the
program
was
anticipated,
to
be
operational
and
able
to
provide
benefits
and
sounds
like
the
the
current
target
for
that
is
in
march.
A
Thank
you
assemblyman
and
next
up
I
have
senator
gokuchiya
and
then
assembly,
women,
benitez
thompson.
E
A
B
Wells
and
and
one-person
septics
maria
wartman
meshberger
for
the
record.
The
federal
regulation
does
not
allow
for
private
to
pay
for
private
wells
and
things
like
that.
It,
the
benefits,
must
be
issued
to
public
water
and
sewer
vendors.
A
Thank
you
senator,
and
I
have
assembly
woman.
B
Thank
you,
chair
brooks,
so
it
looks
like
the
way
this
is
going
to
be
set
up.
Is
you're,
going
to
do
a
modification
to
the
low-income
energy
assistant
application
to
allow
people
to
apply
for
the
energy
assistance,
and
then
the
water
assistance
in
one
process
is
that
right,
maria
wartman
measure
for
the
record?
That
is
correct.
We
are
working
now
to
modify
our
application
to
allow
individuals
to
apply
for
both
programs.
B
Do
you
imagine
that
there
will
be
the
same
eligibility
requirements
so,
for
example,
if
you're
applying
for
the
low-income
energy
assistance
program,
you
have
to
submit
your
lease
to
show
that
you
are
in
the
residence
there
would
so
so
that
requirement
would
be
one
that
would
carry
over
for
the
water
assistance
as
well
or
would
it
just
be
you
imagine,
submitting
the
water
bill
in
the
person's
name,
brian
wartman
mechberger,
for
the
record,
so
we
have
requested
that
the
eligibility
requirements
fall
in
as
close
as
possible
with
the
energy
assistance
requirements.
B
So,
yes,
you
are
correct,
but
we
would
allow
if
someone
applied
for
both
programs,
they
wouldn't
have
to
provide
it
twice
and
also
with
this
program.
If
they
are
eligible
for
the
energy
assistance
program,
they
will
be
categorically
eligible
for
the
the
water
program.
B
Okay,
so
by
that
category
eligibility,
then
they
don't
even
need
to
say
that
they
are
asking
for
that
if
they
qualify
for
one
they'll
qualify
for
the
other,
so
then
the
people,
the
helpers,
who
are
helping
them
to
complete
these
applications,
would
just
have
to
explain
that
you'll
get
both
benefits.
You'll
see
both
of
those
play
out
without
even
having
to
do
additional
eligibility
requirements
on
it.
That's
great,
I
can't
wait
for
this.
You
said
march
2020,
20,
yeah,
2022.,.
B
A
Thank
you,
assemblywoman,
and
I
have
a
question
up
next
from
assemblywoman
miller,.
H
Thank
you,
chair
brooks,
and
my
question
is
in
regards
specifically
to
I'm
just
making
sure
my
volume's
up
specifically
to
the
water
subsidy
program
in
the
case
of
people
that
live
in
apartments,
so
they're
renting
they
live
in
apartment.
Some
apartments
offer
where
you
have
your
own
individual
meter.
Some
the
water
bill
is
just
absorbed
into
your
rent.
H
Some
you
pay
a
separate
flat
rate
each
month
and
then
there's
that
concept
of
shared
water,
where
you're
sharing
it
with
your
entire
building,
or
you
know
a
portion
of
the
complex,
multiple
units
sharing
it,
and
it
includes
everything
such
as
the
pool
and
the
landscaping
and
and
everyone's
personal
water
use.
So
in
cases
of
individuals
who
are
renting
and
they're
in
that
situation,
where
they're
in
a
shared
water
capacity,
because
often
that
can
fluctuate
each
month
for
that
renter
are,
are
they
able
to
access
this
support
as
well.
B
Maria
measure,
for
the
record,
so
there
are,
we
tried
to
get
as
many
eligible
allow
the
program
to
serve
as
many
eligible
renters
as
possible.
So
when
the
when
their
utilities
are
in
the
landlord's
name
and
they,
but
however
they
do
receive
a
separate
bill.
We
are
going
to
have
it
very
similar
to
the
energy
assistance
program,
where
the
landlord
would
just
need
to
say
that
we
can
pay
on
the
account
for
that
individual
and
then
we
would
be
able
to
determine
benefits.
B
H
I
I
do
have
some
slight
about
giving
you
know
the
ability
to
access
this
program
based
on
the
the
owner
or
the
management
company
in
in
some
cases,
especially
if
individual
renters
are
actually
the
one
responsible
for
the
bill.
But
I
I
do
appreciate
the
efforts
and
the
approach.
The
attempt
for
this.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
assemblywoman.
Do
we
have
any
other
questions
on
this
particular
work
program
from
any
of
the
members.
G
All
right,
I'm
sorry
for
the
lighthander
senator.
Thank
you
for
the
question,
mr
chair.
According
to
what
we
have
been
submitted,
there
was
2200
average
monthly
household
for
2022..
So
is
that
the
same
amount
that
we're
looking
that's
going
to
get
this
the
water
assistance
program
and
just
2,
200
230,
households
averaging?
Is
that
the
same
amount
you're
saying
will
we
receive
this
benefit.
B
Maria
wartman
meshberger
for
the
record.
We
do
believe
that
it
will
be
similar
to
our
energy
assistance
program,
caseload
eligibility
requirements.
G
Okay,
so
are
there
waiting
lists
on
that?
It
seems
like
that's
an
incredibly
low
number
to
me
that
that's
what
you're,
helping
and
and
it's
it
and
it's
going
to
be
the
same
people
that
already
received
the
energy
assistance
are
going
to
be
able
to
get
the
water
assistance.
I'm
just
worried
that
there's
a
lot
of
people
left
out
on
that
program.
Number
one
and
that's
my
first
question.
Then
I
have
a
follow-up
question
as
far
as
how
how
do
other
folks
access
that.
B
So
our
project,
this
maria
workman
meshburger
for
the
record,
our
current
projections
for
fiscal
year
22
energy
assistance-
is
22
255
cases,
so
we
expect
our
caseload
will
be
similar.
They
do
not
need
to
receive
energy
assistance
to
be
eligible
for
the
water
assistance
program.
We
for
outreach
efforts.
We
do
plan
to
work
with
the
water
and
sewer
companies
to
get
the
information
out
to
all
customers
that
would
qualify.
G
So
a
follow-up
question,
mr
chairman:
I'm
just
curious
about
the
the
process
here,
because
you
mentioned
that
in
the
past
it
had
to
be
paid
to
the
electric
company
or-
and
this
will
be
paid
directly
to
the
recipient,
or
is
that
the
reverse?
Are
you
actually
paying
this
to
the
water
companies.
B
I'm
brian
wortman
meshberger
for
the
record.
We
will
be
paying
directly
to
the
water
companies
on
the
energy
assistance
side.
We
do
pay
a
majority
of
our
payments
to
the
energy
companies
as
well.
However,
one
flexibility
that,
unfortunately,
is
not
in
the
water
com
program
is
that
we
can't
pay
to
recipients
where
we
can
in
energy
assistance.
G
B
G
B
G
G
Do
they
reach
out
to
you
or
would
they
be
able
to
reach
out
to
you
say
they
have
a
recipient
or
a
water
receiver
to
lose
their
water
because
they
haven't
paid
for
five
or
six
months?
Is
there
any
way
that
that
so
you
could
reach
out
to
them,
say
hey,
there's
a
program
or
let
the
water
company
know
to
send
that
in
their
next
bill,
say
if
you
have
difficulty
paying
your
bill,
there
is
a
state
program.
Are
you
doing
any
joint
ventures
like
that.
B
Maria
wartman
meshberger
for
the
record
to
be
able
to
pay
the
water
and
sewer
companies.
We
will
have
to
have
vendor
agreements,
and
so
we
will
have
under
agreements
with
the
companies
and
we
have
in
august.
Before
we
completed
our
state
plan,
we
had
a
meeting
with
his
we
invited
as
many
water
and
sewer
companies
that
we
knew
to
come
and
quite
a
few
did
and
asked
us
questions.
B
And
so
I
do
have
an
email
list
and
we
are
in
discussions
about
that,
and
this
program
will
have
in
a
rare
edge
assistance
component
as
well.
For
those
folks
that
do
have
backfills.
A
Thank
you,
assemblywoman.
Do
we
have
any
other
questions
from
the
committee
on
this
particular
work
program
item
senator
gokuchi.
F
Do
city
and
county
water
companies
qualify.
A
All
right,
I
do
not
see
any
so
without
any
other
questions.
I'll.
Take
a
motion
to
approve
this
item.
K
A
A
I
do
not
see
any
opposed,
so
this
motion
passes
with
the
majority
of
the
members
present.
We
are
just
missing
a
couple
members,
senator
settlemyre
and
assemblyman
haven.
I
haven't
made
it
back
yet
you
had
to
step
away
and
or
haven't,
come
back
from
lunch
yet
and
just
want
to
make
that
note
for
the
record,
and
we
can
move
on
to
our
next
item,
and
our
next
item
is-
and
thank
you
very
much
for
for
coming
today
and
helping
us
with
that
item
mr
thompson
and
miss
wharton
and
meshberger.
A
I
really
appreciate
it
and
we
can
move
on
to
item
62
and
item
62
is
from
the
deployment
department
of
employment,
training
and
rehabilitation,
and
the
governor's
off
office
of
workforce
innovation
in
that
and
with
us
today
on
these
next
couple
of
items
is
director
capparata
we
have
mr
sewell.
A
L
Good
afternoon
this
is
director
alisa
cafareta,
with
the
department
of
employment,
training
and
rehabilitation,
and
we're
also
joined
by
ila
young,
who
is
the
executive
director
of
the
governor's
office
of
workforce
innovation
and
she
will
be
presenting
this
agenda
item
and
we're
available
to
answer
questions.
C
C
C
The
go
in
office
was
awarded
this
a
four-year
grant
just
shy
of
four
million
dollars,
and
we
will
be
working
to
provide
assistance
to
500
individuals
who
identify
as
women,
people
of
color
individuals
with
disabilities
and
are
our
veterans
and
the
focus
areas
with
this
grant?
Is
healthcare,
information
technology
and
advanced
manufacturing
just
real
quickly.
C
Of
course,
as
I've
mentioned,
the
strengths
strengthen
the
infrastructure
to
provide
some
related
technical
instruction
by
using
grant
funds
to
support,
pre-apprentices
or
apprenticeship,
readiness,
programs
and
apprentices,
and
we've
got
four
thousand
dollars
in
tuition
assistance
per
apprentice,
and
that
totals
about
two
million
dollars
of
this
grant.
Specifically
for
tuition.
C
C
There
is
about
twenty
thousand
dollars
set
aside
for
that
and
planning
to
engage
employers,
which
is
the
biggest
part
of
this
to
become
involved
and
help
build
capacity
with
them
and
we'll
be
working
with
navigators
and
intermediaries
to
leverage
some
of
the
existing
partnerships
and
to
develop
new
ones,
making
sure
we're
able
to
enroll
some
of
the
youth
women,
people
of
color
veterans
and
persons
with
disabilities
into
these
programs.
C
So
the
partners
for
this
grant
bowen
serves
as
the
program
lead
for
this
work.
We
are
working
in
partnership
with
engie,
that
is
with
caleb
cage,
craig
von
kollenberg
and
cheryl
ohson,
who
serves
as
the
apprenticeship
director
and
navigator
for
the
nc
system,
peter
with
linda
parvin
and
carleen
johnson.
C
We
are
working
with
the
city
of
las
vegas
with
their
new
west
side,
training
center,
which
will
provide
access
to
quite
a
few
people
that
are
eligible
for
the
program
and
we
have
about
12
companies
so
far
that
have
signed
up
healthcare
and
I.t
to
participate
and
open
their
doors
to
apprentices.
A
A
How
would
that
necessarily
work
when,
in
a
situation
where
the
majority
of
folks
enlisted
in
a
registered
apprenticeship
program
in
our
state,
are
operating
under
a
collective
bargaining
agreement
that
really
defines
how
the
compensation
is
and
what
the
contribution
is
of
that
employer?
For
that
apprentice?
How
would
how
would
on
the
job
reimbursement
for
on
the
job
training
work
in
that
particular
situation?.
C
Thank
you,
chair,
brooks
for
the
question
aila
young,
for
the
record.
We
actually
are
going
to
also
have
an
intermediary
that
will
be
brought
on
chair
brooks.
That
is
an
expert
in
working
with
the
companies
around
that
reimbursement
and
making
sure
all
of
the
requirements
by
law
are
met.
So
I
honestly
would
need
to
get
more
information
to
get
into
the
further
details
with
that
and
I'm
happy
to
do
that.
C
But
there
we
will
be
working
with
experts
in
that
to
make
sure
that
the
employer,
whoever
is
working
with
the
actual
apprentice
and
the
breakout
of
how
they're
going
to
define
the
on
the
job,
training
and
the
amount
of
time
and
the
pay
is
all
worked
out
properly.
But
I
can
get
more
details
for
you.
A
Thank
you,
and
I
know
we
have
several
questions
and
I'll
start
with
senator
dennis.
B
B
I
just
kind
of
wanted
to-
and
you
kind
of
described
that,
but
can
you
give
us
a
little
bit
more
detail
on
how
you're
going
to
create
those
partnerships
to
create
these
new
registered
apprenticeship
programs.
C
So
one
of
the
things
that
has
happened
in
the
state
is
there
is
quite
a
hunger
for
apprenticeship
programs
and,
in
particular
aligning
these
with
our
high
growth
high
demand
areas
in
the
state.
So
as
we're
looking
at
diversifying
our
economy
and
helping
our
workforce
get
into
some
really
exciting
career
path,
being
able
to
help
our
partners
understand
the
value
of
apprenticeship
programs
and
how
they
might
actually
utilize
it
for
their
companies
is
incredibly
important.
So
one
of
the
biggest
pieces
with
partnership
development
that
we
have
been
utilizing
is
actually
partnering
with
the
ng
system.
C
One
of
the
other
pieces,
too,
is
building
the
capacity
within
these
companies
and
our
partners
to
understand
how
to
develop
a
very
high
quality
apprenticeship
program.
We
are
absolutely
mirroring
and
modeling
the
union's
golden
standard
of
apprenticeship
program,
and
that
is
since
expanded
into
other
approaches.
You
know
you
can
have
competency-based
hybrid
models
and,
of
course,
the
traditional
time-based
apprenticeship
programs,
but
a
lot
of
it
is
educating
our
partners
helping
them
understand
how
this
will
benefit
our
state
in
general
and
then
really
empowering
our
workforce
to
have
access
to
some
really
high
quality
career
paths.
B
You
started
to,
I
think,
allude
to
this
next
question
that
I
have
has
to
do
with
your
use
of
the
term.
Modernizing
you,
you
talked
about
modernizing
your
registered
apprenticeship
programs.
What?
What
is
that?
What
does
that
really
mean
modernize?
I
mean
because
we
know
how
the
programs,
what
are
you
changing?
That's
going
to
make
it
more
modern.
C
Well,
I
think
thank
you
senator
dennis
for
the
question
eilee
young,
for
the
record,
when
I
say
modernizing,
I
really
mean
we're
just
aligning
with
some
of
the
new
and
the
growth
and
the
high
growth
areas
of
focus
for
the
state.
So
all
of
the
work
that
we're
doing
in
identifying
the
proper
types
of
non-construction
apprenticeship
programming
is
done
in
conjunction
with
the
governor's
office
of
economic
development.
C
The
the
department
of
labor
national
governors
association,
the
urban
institute
jobs
for
the
future
jff.
All
of
these
national
organizations
are
really
working
hard
to
help
build
out
the
best
practices
around
these
new
types
of
apprenticeship
programs
for
many
many
years,
the
union-based
construction-based
apprenticeship
program.
It
is
the
golden
standard,
so
anytime
that
you're
shifting
into
some
of
these
new
areas,
you
have
to
make
sure
they're
just
as
high
quality
as
the
other
options,
and
that
is
where
I'm
coming
from.
When
we
say
modernizing.
A
Thank
you
senator,
and
I
believe
that
vice
chair
carlton
has
a
few
questions
as
well.
Vice
chair
carlton,
please
go
ahead.
J
J
Second
part
of
that
question
is
it
sounds
to
me
like
these.
Aren't
the
true
apprenticeship
programs
either.
So
I
guess
that
first
question
is
the
key
for
me
because
it
I
thought
we
were
pretty
clear
that
apprenticeship
issues
were
to
be
dealt
with
in
the
labor
commissioner's
office
through
the
apprenticeship
council.
Moving
forward.
C
Thank
you
vice
chair
carlton,
for
the
question
ailee
young,
for
the
records.
You
are
absolutely
right.
The
stack
and
our
state
director
of
apprenticeship
programming,
rich
williams,
did
move
back
to
the
labor
commissioner's
office.
What
that
means,
though,
and
this
grant
was
actually
awarded
prior
to
that
happening.
C
The
actual
creation
of
apprenticeship
programs
is
really
a
statewide
effort
with
multiple
partners
from
across
the
state
participating
in
the
development
of
these
programs.
It
takes
quite
a
few
people.
J
J
This
should
be
picked
up
and
moved
right
along
with
it.
Apprenticeships
now
belong
with
the
apprenticeship
council,
not
with
the
department
of
economic
development
and
not
with
the
community
college
system.
It
belongs
with
the
apprenticeship
council.
So
I
want
to
understand
why
this
wasn't
moved
along
with
all
the
other
responsibilities,
because
I
thought
459
was
pretty
clear.
C
Vice
chair
carlton,
thank
you
for
the
question
isla
young
for
the
record.
Yes,
it
is
very
clear.
There
is
absolutely
no
question
that
the
labor
commissioners
and
the
state
apprenticeship
director
are
that's
where
apprenticeships
lie,
but
there's
still
program
development
that
needs
to
happen
for
apprenticeship
programs.
C
So
this
grant
was
awarded
prior
to
that
and
when
a
federal
grant
is
approved
and
given
to
an
agency,
it
is
not
allowed
to
be
moved
to
another
agency.
We
actually
did
have
conversations
with
the
department
of
labor
specifically
around
this
just
to
have
clarity
and
make
sure
that
we're
all
on
the
same
page
and
I'm.
C
J
Okay,
all
right,
thank
you
very
much.
I,
mr
chairman,
I
have
some
serious
concerns.
I
haven't
heard
anything
about
owen
partnering
with
the
apprenticeship
council
or
the
labor
commissioner.
J
So
I
I
I
have
some
concerns
that
not
everyone
who
be
affected
by
this
has
been
part
of
the
conversation.
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
chairman.
A
Thank
you
vice
chair,
as
do
I,
and
and
I'll
I'll,
follow
up
with
that
and
then,
but
I
also
was
looking
at
the
budget
as
it's
been,
you
know
broke
down
in
the
documents
that
were
sent
over
it's
we're
talking
about
and-
and
please
interrupt
me
at
any
point
in
this
young-
if
I'm
incorrect
in
in
my
assumptions
here
from
what
I'm
reading
the
documents,
but
it's
a
four
million
dollar
program
is
that
correct
or
a
four
million
dollar
grant.
A
Okay
and
so
yeah,
so
just
just
under
four
million
two
dollars
shy
of
that
and
they
couldn't
have
just
rounded
it
up
right
and
and
so
of
that
I
see
that
owen,
internal
administrative
costs
and
contractors
for
the
implementation
and
administration
of
the
of
the
program
it
equals
about
one
point:
over
1.3
million
of
the
four
million-
and
it
just
seems
super
heavy
on
the
administrative
side.
A
If
I'm
interpreting
that
correctly,
if
I'm
not
interpreting
that
correctly,
please
correct
me,
but
it
seems
like
of
direct
payments
and
support
to
apprentices.
Three
apprentices,
as
well
as
employers,
that
is
about
2.5
million
of
the
four
million
and-
and
so
is
that
correct
and
if
so
help
me
understand
why
it's
kind
of
skewed
so
heavily
towards
creating
new
things,
as
opposed
to
supporting
the
ones
that,
with
the
mission
of
the
grant
supporting
some
of
the
apprenticeship
programs
that
currently.
C
Exist:
chair
brooks,
if
you
don't
mind,
I
have
my
fiscal
lead
and
sarah
martino
she's
my
senior
program,
administrator
and
officer
on
that
has
joined
us.
Is
it
okay?
If
she
helps
me
with
those
answers.
B
Yes,
thank
you
hi.
This
is
for
the
record
and
sarah
martino
with
going
senior
program,
administrator,
slash
officer
and
you're.
Correct
senator
brooks
the
approximate
numbers
that
you
provided
about:
1.5
million
for
the
support
staff
with
an
inchi
go
in
nde
and
also
there's
a
small
amount
for
curriculum
development
and
then
you're
also
correct
about
the
tuition
and
stipends
to
employers
is
about
2.5
bill.
A
Thank
you
thank
you
for
clarifying
that.
I
appreciate
that
and
I
I
have
several
questions
and
some
kind
of
struggling
with
whether
to
get
to
all
of
them
today,
but
I
I
know
that
senator
gondaro
luke
had
a
question
around
compliance,
and
so,
if
senator
luke
dondero
loop,
if
you
wanted
to
go
ahead.
H
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
really
appreciate
the
time
I
we've
sort
of
bounced
around
some
of
this,
but
would
you
please
clarify
the
compliance
of
that
newly
created
apprenticeship
program
and
tell
us
you
know
what
the
federal
u.s
department
of
labor
standards
for
that
registered
apprenticeship
programs?
Will
you
will
you
just
kind
of
clarify
that
piece
for
us.
C
M
C
For
the
record,
there
is
any
apprenticeship
program
that
is
approved
in
the
state
has
to
go
through
the
apprenticeship,
director,
rich
williams,
and
also
through
this
back.
So
nothing
that
is
proposed
and
approved
doesn't
go
through
them.
They
are
the
gatekeepers
and
the
ones
that
verify
and
make
sure
that
everything
that
is
built
in
to
these
apprenticeship
programs
meets
the
stat
require
standards,
and
that
would
include
the
correct
amount
of
related
technical
instruction,
the
rti
that
would
make
sure
that
there
is
an
actual
program
sponsor
for
the
apprenticeship
program.
C
So
there's
very
defined
rules
with
apprenticeship
programming,
and
that
applies
to
whether
it's
a
traditional
time-based
program.
C
The
staff
then
does
have
a
check-in
with
these
programs
to
make
sure
that
they
are
continuing
to
provide
excellence
and
everything
being
offered
is
up
to
the
requirements.
H
Thank
you
very
much
for
that
information.
It's
you
know.
It's
really
important
that
we
have
standards,
especially
when
we're
receiving
federal
fund
monies
and
the
apprenticeship
program
is
so
important.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
that
information
appreciate
your
time.
A
If
not,
I
have
a
few
more
myself,
and
so
I
don't
want
to
belabor
the
point,
but
I
think
that
that
me
and
vice
chair
carlton,
are
kind
of
on
the
same
page.
As
far
as
some
of
our
concerns,
it
sounds
as
if
you
know
a
lot
of
this
is,
is
about
timing.
So
to
get
this
this,
this
grant
award
what
was
submitted
to
the
department
of
labor
as
far
as
what
what
it
was.
C
It
was
probably
oh,
I'm
sorry,
eile
young
for
the
record
it
was
submitted.
I
forgive
me
and
sarah-
do
you
remember
the
time
frame?
If
I'm
not
mistaken,
chair
brooks
it
was
maybe
october
of
20.
Does
that
sound
right
on
sarah?
Could
you
help
me
here.
B
B
Oh,
I
apologize
yes,
it
would
be
much.
I'm
not
mistaken.
B
I
believe
dol
was
reviewing
the
applications
in
april
and
may
and
I
believe
we
got
the
notice,
sorry
and
sarah
martino
again
for
the
record,
and
I
believe
that
we
got
the
notice
in
june
that
the
grant
would
start
effective
july.
1St.
A
Okay,
all
right
yeah,
so
that
kind
of
just
is,
I
think,
where
some
of
my
concern
and-
and
you
know
there
was
a
very
clear
effort-
vice
chair
carlton
referenced
an
assembly
bill
and
there
were
several
conversations
throughout
the
entire
legislative
session
and
last
ifc
on
the
on
owen
and
in
apprentices.
A
Apprenticeships,
not
not
owen,
as
in
as
an
agency
and
all
the
fine
work
that
they
do,
but
how
it
pertains
to
apprenticeships,
what
is
an
apprenticeship
and
and
what
the
role
of
the
apprenticeship
council
and
the
department
of
labor
nevada
department
of
labor
have
in
those
apprenticeships,
and
it
just
seems
as
if
you
know
that
bill
was
out
there.
A
We
were
having
hearings
on
it
and,
and
I
I
think
that
the
future
probably
should
have
been
pretty
pretty
cut
clear
to
to
the
agency
on
the
direction
that
we
were
headed
but
and
so
now
what
this
does
is
it
just
creates.
A
This
creates
more
another
layer
of
what
we
tried
to
eliminate
and
that's
that's
to
me.
That's
concerning,
and
it's
based
on
just
kind
of.
Like
you
know,
the
calendar
being
off
by
a
few
weeks,
sounds
like
and
on
how,
when
the
application
was
made,
the
department
of
labor,
so
I
am-
I
mean
I.
L
Tamara
brooks
this
is
director
alisa
caffaretta.
I
just
in
light
of
some
of
the
questions
I
wanted
to
take
a
just
a
tiny
step
back
and
provide
a
little
bit
of
additional
background
information
to
the
committee
about
ab459.
L
We
have
so
in
that
bill.
Yes,
gohan
came
to
dieter
and
at
the
same
time,
the
apprenticeship
program,
the
state,
apprenticeship,
director
and
the
apprenticeship
council
were
returned
to
the
labor
commissioner
at
business
and
industry.
That
was
the
legislation
that
was
passed
since
that
time.
We
have
come
to
you
and
the
board
of
examiners.
L
We
sort
of
have
a
standing
date
with
you
all
and
we
have
signed
a
memorandum
of
understanding
and
we
have
transferred
funds
and
the
personnel,
those
positions
and
those
budgets
for
the
standard
apprenticeship
program
to
business
and
industry.
So
just
as
was
outlined
in
the
in
the
legislation,
we
have
some
fine-tuning
to
do
on
that.
As
we've
gotten,
everyone
settled,
we've
identified
a
few
additional
costs
that
we
didn't
cover
in
our
first
mou,
so
that
that
will
be
coming
forward
to
finalize
that
transition
and
in
the
future,
in
business
and
industry.
L
You'll
see
the
apprenticeship
program
in
their
budget
requests
so
the
way
their
you
know.
Sometimes,
when
we're
answering
your
questions,
we
we
don't
know
how
much
to
abbreviate
and
how
much
detail
to
provide.
We
have
had
several
ongoing
and
continue
to
have
ongoing
conversations
between
dieter
and
business
and
industry
in
terms
of
what
there
are
several
apprenticeship
expansion
type
grants
that
were
applied
for
over
the
last
couple
of
years.
L
Those
those
funds
were
doing
sub-grants
to
move
that
money
to
business
and
industry,
and
we
can
sort
of
give
you
a
inventory
of
that
if
you're
interested
the
piece
that
remains
that
we've
sort
of
agreed
on
a
go-forward
basis
that
would
remain
with
go
in
is
the
sort
of
development
piece.
L
That
is
at
business
and
industry
with
the
labor
commissioner,
but
at
the
same
time
it's
sort
of
like
licensing,
a
med
school
or
something
at
the
same
time
other
or
licensing
doctors.
But
at
the
same
time,
other
programs
can
sort
of
develop
training
for
doctors
or
nurses,
training
for
apprentices
and
that's
the
piece
that's
sort
of
the
the
future
of
developing
our
workforce
and
creating
training
opportunities.
L
That
have
work
based
components
where
we
need
some
partnerships
in
these
collaborations
that
have
been
described
to
sort
of
really
look
into
the
future
and
create
training
programs
that
meet
those
criteria.
That
are
still
the
same,
so
we
can
make
sure
we're
training
folks
for
new
jobs
that
didn't
that
didn't
exist
before.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
you
had
some
background
on
the
fact
that
we
are
in
ongoing
conversations
with
the
labor
commissioner,
that
that
started
as
soon
as
the
legislation
was
proposed.
L
A
That
was
thank
you
director.
That
was
incredibly
helpful
and
the
context
was
needed,
and
I
appreciate
that,
and
that
kind
of
helps
me
understand
a
little
bit.
The
analogy
is,
I
think,
helpful,
but
I'm
trying
to
imagine
an
apprenticeship
that
charges
a
tuition
and
how
tuition
assistance
is
is
is
helpful,
and
so
so
I'm
just.
A
I
just
think
that
there
is
maybe
a
philosophical
disconnect
among
some
what
the
apprenticeship
is
and
and
what
it
isn't,
and
I
think
that
that
maybe
we're
using
that
term
interchangeably
in
cases
where
maybe
we
shouldn't
and
but
this
this
is.
This
is
helpful
that
you
give
me
that
context.
A
My
another
question
that
I
have
is:
what's
the
geographic
distribution
as
you've
heard
me
a
million
times
say
before,
and
I
will
continue
to
say
as
long
as
I'm
in
this
job.
What
is
the
geographic
or
population
distribution
of
the
the
proposed
distribution
of
these
funds?.
C
Thank
you,
chair
brooks
for
the
the
question
aila
young,
for
the
record
and,
if
I
might
just
clarify
chair
brooke,
you
just
mentioned
about
tuition,
the
tuition
is
covered.
It
is
not
there's
no
fees
allowed
with
apprenticeship
programming,
so
everything
that
the
apprentices
will
need.
There's
support
dollars
built
in
for
that
and
then,
as
far
as
the
geographic
focus
of
this
grant,
it
actually
is
southern
nevada
and
because
of
the
realities
of
how
hard
the
south
southern
region
has
been
hit.
A
Thank
you,
and,
and
so
back
to
tuition,
so
you're
saying
it
it's
tuition
support
so
that
so
I
I
don't
believe
apprentices
pay
tuition.
I
think
that's
the
whole
kind
of
concept
around
apprenticeship,
and
so
what
is
this
tuition
support
that
that
this
particular
line
item
the
most
significant
line
item
that
that
in
the
program,
what
what
is
that
intended
to
do.
C
Thank
you,
chair,
brooks
ayla
young
for
the
record
that
tuition
support
specifically
is
to
pay
the
tuition
of
the
apprentice
as
they're,
going
through
the
related
technical
instruction
that
is
required
with
their
apprentice
program.
So
there's
no
money
coming
out
of
the
apprentice's
pockets.
That
two
million
dollars
that
has
been
set
aside
will
help
with
training
courses
at
csn.
C
A
I'm
just
kind
of
like
completely
confused
and
dumbfounded
and
I
apologize-
and
I
don't
want
to
monopolize
the
committee's
time,
because
I
have
a
million
questions.
So
what's
the
what's
the
expiration
date
on
this
money.
C
It's
a
eila
young
for
the
record.
It
is
a
four-year
grant
chair
brooks
and
I
believe
it
ends
in
25.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
I
I
I
I
just
want
to
see.
If
we
have
any
other
questions
before
I
I
pose
a
a
a
motion.
Do
we
have
any
questions
from
the
committee
of
either.
J
Thank
you.
You
know.
We've
had
a
lot
of
confusion
over
the
years
on
what
the
definition
of
an
actual
apprenticeship
is.
The
more
I've
heard
the
more
this
sounds
like
a
work-study
type
thing.
I
don't
believe
in
any
other
apprenticeship
program
that
I've
had
exposure
to
in
southern
nevada
that
the
contractors
who
hire
the
folks
actually
get
paid
to
hire
the
folks
they
usually
just
hire
them
because
they're
working
a
40-hour
a
week
job
you
went
through
an
apprenticeship
program
so,
and
the
tuition
component
gives
me
some
concerns.
J
A
Seeing
none
well,
I'm
I'm
not.
I
don't
feel
comfortable
moving
forward
right
now.
I
have
just
far
too
many
questions
and-
and
I
would
like
to
have
a
a
conversation
with
vice
chair
carlton.
Whoever
else
would
like
to
be
part
of
that
conversation-
owen,
dieter,
the
the
apprenticeship
council
and
the
department
of
labor
to
nevada
department
of
labor
to
really
get
an
understanding.
A
It's
just
I'm,
I'm
I'm
just
really
having
a
hard
time
with
our
using
of
some
of
the
terminology
and
and
and
some
of
the
jurisdictions
that
that
should
be
included,
and
so
I
I
would
love
to
have
those
conversations
and
since
there
doesn't
seem
to
be
a
expiration
date
that
is
pending
on
the
monies,
I
would
move
that
or
I
would
look
for
a
motion
to
not
approve
this
item
and
to
bring
it
back
after
those
conversations
to
the
next
ifc.
N
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Yes,.
F
N
The
the
committee
this
was
work
program
was
submitted
under
the
45-day
work
program
process.
So
if
the
committee
takes
no
action
after
45
days,
it
would
steemed
approved
under
the
statute.
So
if
the
committee
does
not
want
to
approve,
it
would
need
to
take
a
motion
to
to
not
approve
it.
A
A
Okay,
great,
that
seems
to
be
the
motion
that
I
would
like
to
hear.
But
if
I
have
anyone
that
would
like
to
make
that
motion.
A
B
Senator
dennis,
can
I
ask
a
quick
question
please
so
there's
no.
B
A
And
if,
if
young
or
director
cafaretta
or
anyone
else
is
able
to
answer
that
question
before
we
take
a
vote
on
that
motion.
C
Sure,
chair
brooks
eileen
young
for
the
rutherford.
Yes,
you
know
any
delay
with
a
particular
grant.
Is
there
is
defined
goals
and
outcomes
and
timelines?
So
any
delay
is
never
a
good
thing,
but
if
that
is
the
wish
of
you,
then
we
will
do
that.
C
Oh
okay,
isla
young,
for
the
record.
I
honestly
do
not
think
that
we
will
lose
the
grant,
but
we
will
just
keep
them
informed
as
to
who
that
it
is
being
postponed.
As
far
as
approval
to
actually
begin
work.
A
Thank
you
now,
assemblywoman
titus
did
you
have
a
comment.
G
Yes,
I
think,
thank
you,
mr
chair,
sorry,
for
interruption.
I
just
need
a
clarification.
According
to
the
information
that
we
were
given,
it
was
to
help
support
tuition
for
500
apprentices.
Are
these
these
500
apprentices
or
pre-apprentices?
Are
they
already
do
you
have
a
list
of
those
folks?
Are
these
folks
anticipating
getting
involved
right
away
and
this
delay
will
affect
them
and
and
I'm
just
what
the
impact
is
on
individuals
that
maybe
are
expecting
this
to
be
passed
and
looking
forward
to
it,
and
we
have
500
people
lined
up
already.
C
G
You
mean
finding
the
500,
or
are
we
disappointing
these
employees
who
need
to
get
people?
You
know
I
see
everywhere
I
go.
I
see
signs
that
people
are
hiring.
I'm
just
wondering
by
delaying
this.
Are
we
going
to
further
exacerbate
this
folks
who
need
to
get
people
on
the
roll,
get
them
hired
at
least
get
them
trained?.
C
A
All
right,
I
see
none,
so
if
you
could
please
in
favor
of
the
motion
and
the
motion
is
to
just
to
recap,
to
not
approve,
have
further
discussions
and
bring
it
back
at
a
later
ifc
after
those
discussions,
and
so
all
in
favor
of
that
motion,
please
raise
your
hand.
A
A
Okay,
I
think
that
is
it
so
the
motion
passes
with
the
members
present
and-
and
we
will
see
this
at
a
later
date.
Thank
you
very
much
and
we
can
move
on
now
to
our
next
item,
which
is
item
63,
which
is
also
from
the
department
of
employment,
training,
rehabilitation,
rehabilitation
and
it's
from
the
employment
security,
special
fund
and
so
director
capareta.
Could
you
or
someone
from
your
team
walk
us
through
this.
L
F
Thank
you
director.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
item.
63
is
essentially
a
contractual
obligation
that
dieter
and
specifically
the
employment
security
division
incurred.
While
we
were
extending
the
bank
of
america
debit
card
contract.
F
To
give
you
historical
context,
we
had
bank
of
america
for
approximately
five
years
in
2020
in
september
right
in
the
middle
of
the
pandemic,
they
announced
that
they
would
not
be
signing
the
extension
that
we
believe
we
had
negotiated
for
two
years.
F
They
said
at
one
point
we'll
have
it
reviewed
by
legal
and
we'll
get
back
to
you
at
some
point
between
the
time
that
the
sign
up
was
submitted
in
september,
bank
of
america
decided
to
get
out
of
the
prepaid
debit
card
business
in
total
and
nevada
was
one
of
the
first
states
where
this
occurred,
because
our
contract
was
up
in
december
to
get
through
the
time
period
between
september
and
to
our
new
debit
card
vendor.
F
In
july,
we
had
to
sign
an
emergency
extension
which
I
believe
now
has
passed
through
the
board
of
examiners
along
with
another
amendment
and
what
we
now
call
the
gfc
agreement,
which
is
the
payment
agreement
which
we
would
absorb.
These
costs
there
are
costs
that
the
bank
normally
incurred
during
their
debit
card
program,
they're
related
to
their
global
financial
crimes,
unit,
in
which
they
freeze
a
card
that
they
believe
may
have
suspicious
activity
or
other
disqualifying
factors
to
it
that
the
bank
cannot
process
it.
F
F
F
I
wouldn't
use
the
term
administrative
cost,
because
it's
a
cost
of
doing
those
investigations
that
we
were
required
as
part
of
our
contract
extension
with
bank
of
america
to
absorb
we're
contractually
obligated
to
do
so,
and
we're
asking
for
the
authority
on
two
fronts.
The
first
is:
we
have
asked
the
department
of
labor
to
allow
us
to
use
peuc
money.
That
is
one
of
the
pandemic
programs
where
we
have
money
left
over.
F
Unfortunately,
we
have
not
heard
a
green
light
or
a
red
light
from
the
department
of
labor
at
this
point,
so
in
the
alternative,
we're
asking
for
the
authority
to
pay
it
out
of
penalties
and
interest,
because,
unfortunately,
given
the
regulations
regarding
for
lack
of
better
term
buckets
of
money
related
to
the
program
and
the
various
pandemic
programs,
those
are
the
only
two
that
we
could
pay
this
out
of,
possibly
but
likely
p
e.
If
the
department
of
labor
doesn't
allow
us
to
pay
it
out
of
peuc
and
with
that
I'll,
take
any
questions.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
for
summarizing
that,
in
a
very
digestible
form
that
that
made
it
a
lot
easier
for
me
to
understand
than
the
documents
and
all
the
information
I
have
in
front
of
me.
Do
we
have
any
further
any
questions
from
the
committee
on
this
item.
A
Assemblyman
roberts,
please
go
ahead.
Thank
you,
chair.
B
B
F
That
we
were
responsible
for
our
portion
out
outside
of
the
contract.
B
F
Okay-
and
I
I
want
to
make
it
clear-
sorry,
troy
jordan
again
for
the
record
with
dieter-
I
want
to
make
clear
there's
a
difference
between
these
fees
and
recouping
money
for
fraudulent
claims.
Fraudulent
claims
are
claims
that
have
been
paid
out
that
were
fraudulent,
whether
it
be
identity,
theft
or
some
other
version
of
fraud.
F
These
fees
are
associated
with
investigations
relating
to
fraud.
I
know
it
sounds
like
semantics,
but
they're
a
different
thing.
The
state
always
has
the
obligation
to
try
and
repeat
those
funds.
We
are
actively
doing
that.
I
do
not
have
a
number
of
the
total
number
we
have
recouped
to.
We
actually
have
the
benefit
payment
and
control
unit.
F
That
does
that
every
day,
that's
their
job,
getting
those
funds
back,
referring
things
for
prosecutions,
getting
them
back
through
the
ag's
office
during
those
prosecutions
and
trying
to
claw
back
this
money
for
lack
of
a
better
term
off
cards
that
we
know
to
be
fraudulent,
so
that
that's
occurring
every
day,
and
it
is
our
responsibility.
F
B
A
Thank
you,
assemblyman
and,
and
somebody
woman
miller.
You
have
a
question
on
this
item
as.
H
Well,
yes,
thank
you
chair
and
my
question
is
for
director
capretta
or
anyone
else
who
may
be
able
to
answer
it.
I
I
I
believe
we
all
appreciate
the
fact
that
sometimes
the
federal
government
doesn't
work
at
lightning
speed
and
so
for
the
approval
that
you've
requested
in
order
to
use
those
peuc
funds.
H
Can
you
just
explain
specifically
where,
in
the
process
this
may
be,
while
you're
waiting
for
approval,
maybe
specific
dates
of
when
you
asked
and
when
you
anticipate
that
the
answer
could
come
through
and
also
it
would
be
helpful,
if
maybe,
if
there's
any
other
states
that
are
in
the
situations
that
maybe
they've
received
approval,
so
we
can
gauge
how
long
it
possibly
could
take
before
an
answer
comes.
B
L
And
this
is
director
cafaretta
just
to
follow
up
and
maybe
answer
some
of
the
questions
you
haven't
asked.
You
know
we
have
this
obligation
to
pay
this
basically
administrative
fees
within
120
days,
so
we've
we
have
identified
these
two
potential
sources.
L
We
also
plan
should
we
so
so
we
know
for
sure,
penalties
and
interest
fund
is
is
typically
the
place
we've
paid
these
things
from.
L
If
we
get
the
okay
from
the
department
of
labor
at
any
time
to
use
the
peuc
funds
where
they
were
granting
us
additional
administrative
dollars
over
the
last
year
and
a
half,
we
would
be
able
to
go
back
and
replace
the
penalties
and
interest
funds
with
the
peoc
funds.
However,
whatever
the
mechanics
are
that
we
do
that,
so
if,
at
any
time
we
get
this
approval
from
the
department
of
labor
we'll
be
able
to
replenish
penalties
and
interest.
A
Thank
you
assemblywoman
and
monroe
moreno.
Do
you
still
have
a
question.
B
Just
had
a
quick
question,
mr
chair,
could
you
tell
us:
are
there
any
other
steps
that
you're
taking
your
department
is
taking
to
recover
funds
that
were
distributed?
That
you
now
know
were
fraudulent
unemployment
claims
that
you
haven't
already
spoke
about?
Are
there
any
other
steps
that
you're
taking.
L
This
is
director
caferetta
for
the
record.
We
are
working
as
as
we've
shared
with
you
several
times.
Our
state,
as
well
as
every
other
state,
was
hit
very
hard
with
fraudulent
and
imposter
claims.
Because
of
the
way
these
programs
were
set
up.
So
we
have
been
working
from
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic
and
several
levels
to
recover
to
stop
fraudulent
payments
and
applications
before
they
could
be
processed
and
then
recover
the
funds.
L
Committed
fraud
in
nevada,
but
also
across
several
states,
so
there
are
several
large
investigations
and
prosecutions
going
on
at
the
federal
level,
we
are
working
with
the
u.s
attorney
and
the
department
of
public
safety
to
pers
and
the
attorney
general's
office
in
nevada
to
pursue
cases
that
would
be
in
the
state
of
nevada,
anytime,
local
law
enforcement
comes
up
with
a
case.
We
provide
all
of
the
background
they
need
in
order
to
prosecute
those
cases.
L
And
then,
as
mr
jordan
mentioned,
we
do
have
a
benefits,
protection
unit
that
is
ongoing,
working
to
recover
funds,
and
then
we
are
working
with
our
vendor.
As
we
also
mentioned
in
partnership
with
bank
of
america,
we
have
recovered
over
150
million
dollars
that
has
come
back
to
the
trust
fund
in
nevada
and
also
the
federal
programs
wherever
the
benefits
were
originally
paid,
and
so
so
it
is
certainly
an
active
and
ongoing
part
of
our
work.
L
B
Thank
you
so
much
for
sharing
that
mr
charities
have
one
other
question.
Your
staff
has
done
an
amazing
job
throughout
this
entire
pandemic.
B
We
know
that
there
was
an
additional
amount
of
money
that
was
giving
for
the
pandemic
for
unemployment
and
that's
recently
been
cut
off,
but
we've
heard
that
some
that
had
the
additional
money
cut
off
their
regular
unemployment
was
also
cut
off.
Do
we
know
those
have
gone
back
online?
Do
you
still
have
a
wait
list
for
that.
L
Lisa
cavareta
for
the
record
so
to
to
clarify,
if
I
possibly
can
a
very
complicated
program
which
is
unemployment.
What
happened
was
congress
had
approved
those
extensions
and
they
expired
september.
L
4Th
essentially
was
the
last
week
you
could
get
the
extended
benefits,
so
those
have
all
those
have
all
stopped
some
people
and
then,
in
addition
to
that,
because
the
unemployment
rate
in
nevada
was
so
high,
we
also
had
a
state
extended
benefit
program
that
actually
lasted
one
more
week
than
the
federal
extensions
to
to
make
it
as
confusing
as
possible
and
for
some
people
they
could
see
in
their
accounts
that
they
still
had
weeks
of
money
or
a
benefit
coming
to
them,
but
the
federal
program,
you
know
you
sort
of
get
a
a
lifetime,
benefit
amount
and
you're,
drawing
it
down
on
a
weekly
basis.
L
But
when
the
congressional
extensions
ended,
all
those
balances
also
expired.
So
so
for
a
lot
of
folks,
it
was
very
confusing
that
it
looked
like
they
still
had
benefits
due
to
them,
but
because
the
federal
government
actually
stopped
the
program,
they
did
not
have
those
benefits.
L
So
the
the
the-
and
this
is
my
you
know:
unemployment
101.,
so
the
the
people
who
now
are
eligible
for
unemployment
benefits
are
the
people
who
are
in
the
regular
unemployment
program,
which
is
26
weeks
of
benefits.
So
those
are
the
folks
who
still
are
eligible
and
have
benefits
coming
to
them.
L
L
You
have
to
open
a
new
claim
and
if
you
meet
the
criteria,
which
is
working
a
certain
number
of
weeks
between
your
first
claim
and
your
second
claim,
you
can
start
up
a
second
claim,
so
it
is
quite
complicated
and
they're.
Unfortunately,
the
the
system
did
show
some
people
that
they
still
had
money,
which
they
really
didn't,
because
the
federal
programs
had
expired.
A
And
again,
thank
you
for
your
patience
as
I
scroll
through
all
these
pictures
of
all
my
friends
and
colleagues,
all
right,
it
doesn't
appear
as
if
we
have
any
further
questions
from
the
committee
and
just
want
to.
Thank
you
director,
caporetto.
Thank
you.
Thank
thank
your
whole
team,
not
just
for
today,
but
all
the
the
work
that
you've
been
doing
these
last
couple
of
years
and
this
unprecedented
time
for
your
agency.
Definitely
so
with
no
further
questions
or
comments.
A
B
M
A
A
So
our
next
item
is
item
65,
and
that
is
the
department
of
motor
vehicles.
This
is
about
the
system,
technology,
application,
redesign
issue
and
we
have
with
us
today,
administrator
smith
and
ms
mason,
and
so,
if,
if
you
guys
could,
if
you
folks
could
walk
us
through
that
issue,
I
would
really
appreciate
it.
B
Great,
thank
you.
Tara
brooks
good
afternoon
committee
members
for
the
record,
angela
smith,
lamb
admin
services
administrator
for
the
department
of
motor
vehicles,
work
program,
c
55413
for
dmv
budget
account,
4716
system
technology,
application
and
redesign
request,
transfer
from
the
reserve
category
to
the
technology
fee
refund,
category
of
six
million.
Ten
thousand
three
hundred
and
forty
seven
dollars
to
refund
technology.
Fee
collections
deemed
unconstitutional
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have
on
this
work
program.
A
Thank
you,
and
I
think
we
probably
do
have
some
questions
on
this.
A
So
if
we
have,
I
know
that
there's
been
quite
a
bit
of
conversation
and
around
this
particular
issue
and
that
there
was
an
agreement
reached
and-
and
we
had
some
legal
opinions
from
different
agencies
and
branches
and
to
come
to
some
sort
of
conclusion,
and-
and
we
heard
this
last-
we
heard
a
plan
last
enter
or
excuse
me
last
ifc
meeting
and
and
we
had
to
make
it
just
had
to
discuss
what
that
plan
looked
like.
A
And
so
I
know
that
we
have
our
legal
staff
here
and
our
fiscal
staff
that
have
reviewed
it
and
we've
had
quite
a
quite
a
bit
of
conversation.
So
I
think
that
I'll
start
by
seeing
if
I
could
go
to
possibly
our
fiscal
staff
to
see
if
they
could
summarize
the
course
of
action
since
the
last
ifc
meeting
and
then
possibly
go
to
a
go
to
our
legal
staff
to
potentially
talk
about
what
a
an
opinion
was
on
that.
N
Thank
you,
mr
chair
I'll,
go
first.
If
that's
okay!
Yes,
please
so
wayne
thorley
for
the
record
senate
physical
analyst,
so
in
the
packet
of
information
that
was
provided
to
all
the
members
are
two
documents.
These
documents
are
also
available
on
the
ifc's
the
meeting
website
available
for
the
public.
N
In
order
for
that
that
plan
to
be
carried
out
in
addition
to
the
the
plan
described
on
the
one
pager
from
the
department
of
motor
vehicles,
which
is
attachment
a
in
your
packet
based
on
a
conversation
with
the
department
of
motor
vehicles
yesterday,
it
is
fiscal
staff's
understanding
that
the
dmv
has
agreed
to
make
the
following
modifications
to
the
plan
and
would
certainly
welcome,
if
I'm
mistaken,
to
be
corrected
on
what
these
modifications
are.
N
So
one
that
individual
who
paid
the
technology
fee
during
fiscal
year,
2021
in
fiscal
year
2022,
will
obtain
a
refund
of
the
technology
fee
by
presenting
proof
of
payment
of
the
technology
fee
at
a
dmv
field
office.
So
there's
one
option
for
an
individual
to
attain
a
refund
is
to
provide
a
receipt
or
proof
that
they
paid
the
technology
fee
during
the
disallowed
period.
N
So
an
individual
that
presents
at
the
dmv
will
be
able
to
obtain
a
refund,
and
the
dmv
would
be
able
to
look
up
how
much
what
amount
of
technology
fee
that
individual
paid
during
the
disallowed
period
and
would
be
able
to
receive
a
refund
up
to
that
amount
and
then
three,
an
individual
who
did
not
pay
the
technology
fee
during
fiscal
year,
21
or
fiscal
year,
22,
as
determined
through
a
check
of
the
person's
transaction
history,
will
not
be
able
to
receive
a
technology
fee
refund
payment.
N
That
is
fiscal,
staff's.
Understanding
of
the
modifications
that
the
dmv
has
agreed
to
make
to
the
plan
the
refund
plan
and
include
in
a
amended
stipulation
agreement
that
has
followed
the
district
court
and
again,
I
know
this
is
there's
been
several
changes
recently.
So
I
I
would
welcome
correction
from
the
department
of
motor
vehicles
if
I
misstated
anything
regarding
what
the
agency
has
agreed
to
do.
A
Thank
you,
mr
trump.
B
A
Thank
you,
mr
thorley.
Thank
you,
miss
administrator
smith,
so
that
description
and
the
one-page
document
that
you've
submitted
they
provide
the
overview
of
the
process.
As
you
understand
it,
and,
and
you
agree
that
that
is-
is
correct.
Administrator
smith.
A
Okay,
great,
thank
you.
So
with
that
understanding,
and
with
those
documents
in
front
of
us,
does
the
committee
have
any
questions.
A
Oh
okay,
assemblywoman
titus.
I
see
a
question
there.
G
G
Over
the
last
two
years
I
have
to
take
my
registration
receipts
for
the
last
two
years
say
my
five
vehicles
so
10
down
there
to
the
dmv
and
wait
in
line
and
show
them
proof
that
I've
paid
that,
and
then
they
issue
me
a
check
then,
or
do
I
fill
out
a
form?
Can
you
do
that
online
or
is
it?
How
does
that
process?
Because
it
was
unclear
to
me
that
we
have
to
how
do
we
show
proof
that
we
paid
that.
B
For
the
record,
angela
smith,
assembly
and
titus
you
would
bringing
in
your
receipt
will
help
the
process
go
quicker,
but
we
can
certainly
look
it
up.
If
you
come
in
and
present
your
id
your
identification,
we
can
look
it
up
and
see
the
total
amount
that
you
paid
for
that
period
and
you
would
be
given
a
cash
refund
in
the
amount
that
you
paid
during.
G
G
All
right,
thank
you
for
that
question,
mr
chair.
Thank
you.
A
F
I
B
Sorry,
senator
good
goku,
your
understanding
is
correct.
We'll
give
refunds
at
all
role
offices
as
well
as
long
as
it's
a
dmv
office.
A
Okay,
so
I
I
I
think
that
you
know
this
is
a
long
saga
and
a
lot
of
folks
have
been
involved
in
it
at
a
lot
of
levels,
and
I
I
think
that
moving
forward
with
this
plan
as
modified,
that
really
addresses
a
lot
of
concerns
that
that
our
committee
had
that
our
the
our
legal
staff
of
our
committee
had
individual
legislators
had
a
lot
of
hard.
A
A
I
I
think
that
moving
forward
with
this
modified
plan,
as
it's
laid
out
in
the
document
and
in
the
testimony
contingent
on
a
stipulation,
makes
a
lot
of
sense,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
modification
of
the
plan
does
live
and
exist
in
a
stipulation.
A
And
so
so
I
would
be
willing
to
take
a
motion
that
would
reflect
that.
J
A
Please
vice
chair
carlton.
J
2022
will
obtain
a
refund
of
the
technology
fee
by
presenting
proof
of
payment
of
the
technology
fee.
At
the
dmv
field,
office
number
two
that
we
paid
the
technology
fee
during
fiscal
year,
2021
or
fiscal
year,
2022
we'll
be
able
to
obtain
a
refund
of
the
technology
fee
after
the
dmv
verifies
the
number
of
transactions
and
amount
technology
fee
paid
by
the
individual
and
number
three
that
an
individual
who
did
not
pay
the
technology
fee
during
fiscal
year.
J
A
That
is
the
motion
from
we
have
a
second
from
senator
dennis.
Do
we
have
any
discussion
on
that
motion?
Mr
chairman
senator
settlemeyer,
please.
A
A
F
J
A
A
And
and
yes,
it
does.
Thank
you.
The
refund
dollars
themselves
are
part
of
that
six
million
dollars
correct
correct.
Thank
you
for
clarifying
that,
and
so,
if
we
have
any
further
discussion
on
the
motion.
A
A
Oh
all,
right,
I
don't
see
any
opposed.
Thank
you.
Very
much
motion
passes
unanimously
with
the
president
and
again
I
want
to
thank
the
hard
working
staff
over
there.
Thank
you,
administrator
smith.
Thank
you,
miss
mason
and
thank
all
the
folks
over
at
dmv
who
work
really
hard
on
on
this
journey,
and
also
I'd
like
to
thank
our
staff
and
our
legal
team
and
the
folks
at
the
governor's
office
and
and
senator
settlemyre
as
well,
for
all
the
conversations
that
were
had
on
this
all
right.
A
So
we'll
move
on
to
our
next
agenda
item,
and
our
next
agenda
item
is
what
we
added,
and
I
believe
that
was
items
I
think
vice
chair
carlton
asked
us
to
add
83
and
84.,
and
that
is
department
of
health
and
human
services,
child
and
family
services,
both
the
southern
nevada,
child
now,
adolescent
services
and
northern
nevada,
child
adolescent
services
take
those
two
components
together
and
if
you
want
to
give
us
a
brief
description
of
what
those
work
programs
are
and
then
I
believe
assembly
vice
versa.
A
The
vice
chair,
carlton,
has
a
few
questions
and
is
that.
P
Yep
good
afternoon,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
committee
ross
armstrong
administrator
for
the
division
of
child
and
family
services
and
with
me
for
these
work
programs
is
our
new
deputy
administrator
for
community
services.
Dr
cindy
pitlock.
These
two
work
programs
allow
the
division
to
utilize,
cares:
act,
relief,
funds
to
contract
for
additional
staff
for
our
children's
mobile
crisis
response
teams
in
both
the
north
and
the
south,
and
so
with
that
we'd
be
happy
to
take
any
questions.
J
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
I'll,
go
ahead
and
ask
my
questions
on
83
and
84..
It
looked
like
when
I
was
going
through
some
of
the
backup
documents
that
the
exact
same
amount
was
requested
from
both,
and
they
were
both
not
granted.
That
particular
amount,
but
they
were
both
granted
the
same
amount,
but
we
have
to
just
know
that
the
workload
in
southern
nevada
is
different
than
the
workload
in
northern
nevada.
So
I'm
just
wondering
why
the
exact
same
amounts
were
given
to
both
entities,
knowing
the
population
difference
the
need
difference.
J
How
did
it
end
up
this
way
and
if
this
is
a
temporary
thing
and
we're
working
towards
a
more
permanent
solution,
I
understand
it.
But
you
know
just
common
sense
would
tell
you
that
the
need
in
southern
nevada
might
be
a
little
bit
more
and
then
in
the
north,
so
that
exact
same
amount
just
sent
up
a
little
flag.
For
me.
G
For
the
record,
cindy
pitlock,
deputy
administrator
division
of
child
and
family
services,
thank
you
for
the
question
and
I
hope
I
can
shed
some
light
to
that,
because
I
really
understand
what
you're
trying
to
illuminate
so
for
the
staff
that
we
have
in
the
south
clinicians
for
the
mobile
crisis
response
team.
We
currently
have
52
and
a
half
positions
in
the
north.
G
J
P
Thank
you,
madam
assemblywoman
ross
armstrong
for
the
record,
and
this
was
an
opportunity
to
utilize.
This
cares
relief
funding,
which
comes
to
an
end
shortly
for
immediate
assistance.
The
division
has
developed.
You
know
a
larger,
more
substantive
arp
act,
request
that
that
we
are
hoping
will
be
coming
soon
and
funded
so
that
we
can
expand
those
mobile
crisis
teams.
Our
our
mobile
crisis
response
teams
for
children
are
very
effective
and
can
help
us
reach
families
where
they
are,
and
so
coming
up
with.
P
What
exactly
nevada's
need
is
right
now
we're
in
a
pretty
dire
situation
with
children's
mental
health,
and
so
it's
substantial
now
and
we
continue
to
monitor
case
loads
of
different
teams
and
ways
that
we
can
be
more
efficient
in
getting
teams
deployed
out
into
the
community.
G
For
the
record
cindy
pitlock,
another
thing
that
we're
doing
too
is
we're
really
looking
at
workforce
development
and
stabilization,
so
these
tend
to
be
challenging
positions
to
recruit.
For
so
my
team
and
I
are
looking
at
alternatives
to
supplement
recruitment,
for
example,
looking
at
crisis
rns
and
how
they
might
fit
into
this
paradigm.
G
So
we
widen
our
pool
of
candidates
and
put
more
tools
in
the
toolbox
to
choose
from
so
we
really
do
have
a
global
view
of
really
improving
the
the
access,
not
only
just
in
numbers
but
diversity
of
the
team.
So
I
thought
you
would
perhaps
be
happy
to
hear
that
as
well.
J
A
Thank
you,
mr
carlton.
Thank
you,
mr
armstrong,
and
welcome
to
your
new
position,
dr
pitlock
and
jumper,
for
both
of
you
joining
us
today,
and
so,
if
I
would
like
to
open
up
the
open
enough
committee
on
any
questions
on
this,
these
two
items.
A
You
know
that
works
better,
so
I
have
a
motion
and
a
second
do.
I
have
any
discussion
on
that
motion.
A
All
right,
I
do
not
see
any
oh,
I
do
assembly
woman
told
us
no,
oh
you're
just
jumping
the
gun
on
like
I
did
I
I
dig
it
all
right.
Okay,
so
I
don't
see
any
discussion
on
the
motion.
So
all
those
in
favor
of
approving
those
motions,
please
raise
your
hand.
A
Thank
you
all
those
opposed,
please
raise
your
hand
and
it
passes
unanimously
with
the
members
president
very
much
and
so
that
now
we
can
move
on
to
our
next
agenda
item
and
thank
you
again,
I'm
mr
armstrong
and
dr
pitlock
for
joining
us
today.
So
our
next
adjust
item
is
that
I
believe,
unless
mr
thoroughly
corrects
me
is
all
of
our
items
under
agenda
item
e,
and
we
can
now
move
to
agenda
item
f,
a
statement
on
the
contingency
account
balance
and
mr
thorley.
N
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
The
contingency
account
balance
statement
is
in
volume
three
of
your
packet,
beginning
on
page
195.,
so
again
volume
three
of
the
printed
packet
or,
if
you're,
viewing
online
volume,
three
of
the
the
link
online
beginning
on
page
195.
I'll,
be
very
brief.
I
understand
that
we're
getting
later
into
the
afternoon
on
white
on
page
195
is
the
overview
of
the
ifc
contingency
account
balance.
N
If
you
look
at
the
total
column
and
go
about
halfway
down
the
column,
you'll
see
that
the
beginning
balance
at
the
beginning
of
the
current
fiscal
year,
beginning
balance
as
of
july
1
2021
was
25.5
million.
N
N
There
were
also
some
reversions
to
the
ifc
contingency
account
6.8
million
as
a
result
of
allocations
that
were
made
from
the
contingency
account,
but
ultimately
not
spent
so
total
funding
available
is
40.9
million
after
reducing
some
costs
related
to
meeting
costs
and
prior
allocations
from
the
ifc
this
fiscal
year.
N
N
If
that
is
approved,
the
remaining
balance
after
today's
meeting
will
be
forty
point,
two
million
dollars,
and
then
I
won't
go
through
the
backup
materials
but
they're
between
page
197
and
page
200
is
additional
information
from
the
unrestricted
general
fund,
the
unrestricted
highway
fund
and
then
the
restricted
general
fund
and
highway
fund
allocations
that
are
in
the
contingency
account
and
mr
chair,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
any
members
might
have.
A
All
right,
I
do
not
see
any
all
right.
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
thorley.
So
we
can
go
to
the
next
agenda
item,
which
is
agenda,
item
g
and
that's
a
request
for
allocations
from
the
from
the
ifc
contingency
account,
and
we
had
two
items
here.
A
Item
one
was
withdrawn
and
we
have
item
two
from
the
office
of
the
military
division
of
emergency
management
and
we're
going
to
discuss
that
one.
And
so
we
have,
I
believe,
chief
foberson
from
dem
and
I
I
believe
chief
culberson
is
going
to
be
joined
by
justin
luna
and
mr
comston
and
mr
sandals.
E
These
national
guard
members
will
support
clark,
county
their
cities,
las
vegas,
metro,
alton,
police
department
and
area
hospitals
on
state
active
duty
for
the
new
year's
eve
event.
This
coming
year,
we've
been
performing
this
mission
since
2001,
with
the
exception
of
2020,
when
we
turned
it
off
due
to
not
wanting
the
tourism
during
the
outbreak
of
the
pandemic
before
2015.
E
So,
since
2015
we've
been
coming
to
ifc
asking
for
this
deputy
chief
of
staff
orlean
and
I
have
a
discussion
and
have
a
plan
forward
for
the
next
finance
budget,
so
we
don't
have
to
continue
to
ask
in
this
matter
for
it
emergency
management.
Every
incident
is
executed,
locally,
state
guided
and
federally
supported.
E
E
The
nevada
national
guard
members
will
serve
as
forced
multipliers
to
assist
with
an
estimated
400
000
participants.
This
year
at
new
year's
eve,
we
vet
their
request
upon
the
analysis
of
the
threats
and
the
risks
to
the
public
personnel
from
the
guard
will
support
law
enforcement
and
crowd
management
at
what
we
believe
is
the
nation's
second
largest
new
year's
eve
celebration.
E
They
also
support
a
health
care
system
at
various
hospitals
across
las
vegas
valley.
These
are
both
areas
where
resources
are
stretched
thin
over
new
year's
eve
celebrations.
Las
vegas,
as
you
know,
is
a
great
tourist
destination.
Much
like
times
square.
It
takes
more
than
the
usual
number
of
resources
to
accomplish
the
task
of
public
health
and
safety.
E
It
presents
unique
risks,
threats
and
opportunities
as
we're
collaborating
to
protect
our
tourists,
our
locals
and
our
economy.
We
all
appreciate
your
consideration
of
this
request
and
I
do
have
our
aso
from
bm.
If
there's
any
financial
questions,
lieutenant
colonel
thompson
had
to
leave
for
another
engagement,
and
we
also
have
deputy
chief
billy
samuels
the
clark
county
fire
department,
who's,
also
clark,
county's,
emergency
manager
on
the
call
with
us
we're
available
for
any
questions
you
may
have
regardless
request.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
appreciate
that
chief
ferguson
and
we
have
one
question,
and
I
have
some
questions
as
well,
but
from
senator
harris.
H
Thank
you,
so
much
chair
brooks
you've
addressed
part
of
my
question
so
I'll
just
start
with
the
part
you've
addressed
and
we'll
clear
that
up
and
then
I'll
ask
the
second
part.
You
mentioned
that
you
have
a
plan
for
the
next
biennium
so
that
you
don't
have
to
come
back
to
ifc
in
this
manner.
Can
you
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
that
plan.
E
And
so
we
didn't
want
to
inflate
the
division's
budget
at
a
higher
amount.
So
our
plan
moving
forward
that
we've
discussed,
is
to
add
increase
the
contingency
amount
by
the
amount
that
we
would
expect
on
a
high
end.
So
that
way,
it's
still
there
and
then
whatever
we
don't
use,
can
be
used
by
other
state
agencies
rather
than
keeping
in
the
in
the
division's
budget.
And
then
it
would
go
to
any
fund
balance
and
be
left
over
for
the
following
fiscal
year.
B
H
Thank
you.
The
second
part
of
my
question
has
to
go
with
the
the
amount
that
you're
requesting.
H
E
We
still
have
all
the
other
activities
that
we
have
to
be
concerned
about
as
simple
as
the
crowd
becoming
too
rambunctious
for
the
number
of
law
enforcement
officers
that
are
available
because
we've
got
to
remember
we're.
We
have
a
community
of
two
million
people
that
metro
and
clark
county
fire,
las
vegas
fire
rescue
are
still
providing
day-to-day
services
to,
and
then
we
influx
that
additional
400
000
people
to
their
community,
and
so
we
have
to
take
care
of
those
extra
people
come
to
the
community.
In
addition
to
everything
else.
E
That
goes
on
back
at
the
ranch
kind
of
stuff
that
is
still
happening
in
that
community,
and
so,
even
though
there's
not
a
huge
terrorist
event
threat
and
that's
determined
by
that
sea
level
incident
we
still
have
the
the
normal
items
you
have,
when
you
add
400,
000
people
to
a
smaller
area
and
have
them
outside
of
the
casino
core
and
they're
going
to
be
on
the
strip
and
they're
going
to
be
walking
the
strip.
And
then
we
have
you
know
having
to
close
down
the
roadway.
E
So
we
don't
have
a
vehicle
versus
pedestrian
issue
into
the
crowd,
whether
it's
a
nefarious
or
a
non-nefarious
incident
that
occurs.
So
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
that
protection
level
for
all
those
other
events
that
we
do
see
and
things
like
a
lone
wolf
gunman
is
not
looked
at
as
a
terrorist
event.
Those
are
looked
at
criminal
events,
and
so
it's
making
sure
that
we're
prepared
for
every
potentiality
to
protect
our
economy
and
the
residents
and
the
tourists
that
you
see
in
vegas.
H
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
thorough
and
logical
answer.
We
don't
always
get
that,
so
I
appreciate
you
being
being
prepared.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
senator.
It
looks
like
you
are
joined
by
a
assistant
as
well
this
afternoon
and
we'll
be
helping
you
through
the
rest
of
this
meeting,
and
thank
you
for
that
answer.
I
you
know
I
just
I.
I
think
that
that
totally
appropriate
use
of
state
funds.
This
is
an
incredibly
important
part
of
our
economy.
That
has
an
event
that
happens
every
year
and
safety
of
our
residents,
of
our
our
tourists
and
of
our
first
responders
in
in
during
that
event
are,
are,
should
be
our
highest
and
most
concern.
A
I'm
just
a
little.
I
I'm
a
little
concerned
with
the
method
by
which
this
is
funded
and,
and
I
think
that
I
I
have
a
hard
time
understanding
why
it
wouldn't
be
more
predictable
of
an
expense
and
it's
fluctuated,
and
you
and
chief
oversee
said
it's
based
on
changing
availability
of
clark
county.
A
I
I
would
assume
this
should
be
every
bit
as
predictable
for
them
as
it
is
for
us,
and
so
I
I
think
that
there's
a
far
more
appropriate
way
to
fund
this
when
you
come
to
ifc
contingency
account
for
an
event,
that's
going
to
happen
in
in
less
than
two
months
and
that
is
incredibly
necessary
and
then
asked
to
fund
that
response.
To
that
event.
Our
hands
are
tied
and
there
is
no
oversight.
This
is
the
oversight
role
and
it's
kind
of
it's.
It's
not
appropriate.
A
If
this
committee
chooses
to
approve
this,
I
think
that
it
should
be
based
on
a
recommendation
that
the
department
of
emergency
management
governors,
finance
office,
clark
county
all
come
together
and
figure
out
a
different
way
to
do
this,
and,
and
that
in
my
mind
I
know
you,
you
kind
of
demonstrated
what
your
idea
is,
but
I
think
it
should
it
lives
in
the
general.
I
think
it
lives
in
the
budget,
and
I
think
it
was
it
needs
to
be
submitted
as
a
budget
item
not
just
but
but
whatever
it
is.
A
It's
got
to
be
different
from
this
day
forward
than
how
we're
doing
it
today,
and
so
that
that's
there's
my
my
soapbox
I'll
get
off
of
it
and
open
this
up
to
any
further
questions
from
the
committee.
E
Thank
you
chair
and
you
know
I
appreciate
your
support
for.
F
B
It
went
right
back
down
and
to
two,
which
is
a
significant
event.
I.
E
B
E
B
A
Thank
you
assemblyman,
and
thank
you
for
your
insight
that
you
have
on
this.
Probably
no
other
members
of
this
committee
have
and
is
there
any
other
questions
or
comments
from
any
of
the
other
members.
J
Mr
chairman,
if
I
may
and
thank
you
for
picking
up
the
baton
on
this
and
in
2019,
I
made
pretty
much
the
same
statement
you
just
made,
but
in
2020
we
didn't
have
the
event.
So
here
we
are
in
2021.
J
I
would
inspire
them
to
work
with
our
fiscal
staff
if
they
have
trouble
figuring
out
how
they'd
like
to
build
a
budget
around
this
and
miss
brown
is
always
available
too,
but
some
of
this
can
be
predictable.
I
believe
I
heard
something
along
the
lines
of
well.
If
we
don't
use
it
for
this,
we'll
use
it
for
that
that
sometimes
doesn't
work
in
budgets.
The
way
most
people
think
it
would
because
of
the
way
we
line
item
things
and
the
way
we
account
for
it.
J
A
I
do
not
see
any
so
with
that.
You
know
I've
made
my
recommendation
and,
and
I've
made
my
request
and
I'll
need
to
work
in
the
interim
and
and
definitely
through
the
next
regular
session
when
the
budget
is
is
presented,
but
I
if
I
had
it
my
way
and
and
I
I
just
might
have
something
to
do
with
that-
we're
not
ever
gonna
do
this
again,
and
so
please,
please
take
that
to
heart,
and
but
I
would
look
for
a
motion
to
approve
this
and
okay.
A
A
All
right,
I
see
none,
so
I'm
all
in
favor
of
approving
this.
This
item,
please
raise
your
hand.
A
Thank
you
all.
Those
in
opposition,
please
raise
your
hand
all
right.
It
passes
unanimously
with
the
members
present
and
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
very
much
chief
roverson
and
thank
you,
mr
samuels
chief
samuels,
for
for
joining
today
and
for
all
the
hard
work
you
guys
are
doing
and
all
the
hard
work
you're
gonna
do
come
here
december
31st,
and
so
I
appreciate
that
appreciate
you
keeping
us
all
safe
and
keeping
that
our
economy
running
in
our
tourism
economy
healthy
and
safe.
A
Next,
we
will
get
to
the
next
item,
which
is
going
to
the
agenda
item
h
and
agenda
item.
H
is
a
request
for
approval
to
accept
gifts
and
grants,
and
we
have
a
few
items
that
we'll
be
looking
at.
We
have
the
first
one,
which
is
the
department
of
tourism
and
cultural
affairs,
nevada,
arts,
council
and
that's
a
request
to
accept
creative
aging
grant
funds
from
the
national
assembly
of
state
art
agencies,
and
I
believe
that
we
have
the
governor's
finance
note.
A
We
have
mr
manfredi
and
from
the
executive
director
of
the
nevada
arts
council,
and
I
believe
we
might
have
somebody
from
a
governor's
finance
office
that
can
help
us
understand
this
as
well.
F
B
Finance
committee
members
tony
manfredi
executive
director
for
the
nevada
arts
council.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
our
creative
aging
initiative.
I'm
here
today
with
a
request
for
your
approval
to
accept
creative
aging
grant
funds
from
the
national
assembly
of
state
arts
agencies
in
the
amount
of
twenty
three
thousand
dollars.
A
All
right,
I
see
none,
so
I
would
take
a
motion.
A
A
Thank
you
very
much
appreciate
it,
and
next
we
have
the
state
department
of
conservation
and
natural
resources,
the
division
of
environmental
protection,
with
a
few
requests,
two
requests,
and
to
present
that
we
have
deputy
administrator
carr
from
ndep,
so
deputy
administrator
car.
If
you
could,
please
explain
those
to
us
briefly.
G
Thank
you
very
much,
jennifer
carr
for
the
record.
These
two
agenda
items
are
a
request
to
accept
grants
from
the
us
epa
for
the
drinking
water
state,
revolving
loan
fund
and
the
clean
water
state
revolving
loan
fund.
G
You
all
have
seen
this
funding
discussed
in
the
past
various
committee
hearings
and
whatnot.
It's
it's
part
been
been
part
of
our
program
for
decades.
It
was
not
until
this
year
that
we
were
informed
that
nrs
353.335.
G
So,
if
you,
I
guess
you
will
see
us
do
this
every
year
about
this
time
and
it's
simply
to
bring
these
grants
into
into
this
into
our
funding
to
capitalize
the
state
revolving
funds.
A
Thank
you,
miss
carr.
I
have
a
question
before
I
turn
it
over
to
committee.
How
how
do
these
two
grants
relate
to
previous
years?
As
far
as
these
two
grants
and
these
that
go
into
these
two
revolving
loan
programs.
G
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
question.
Jennifer
carr
for
the
record.
If
you're
talking
about
just
how
they
just
the
general
dollar
value
of
them,
they
do
fluctuate
a
little
bit
up
and
down
over.
You
know
from
one
year
to
the
next
they're
relatively
consistent.
G
A
A
A
Thank
you
all.
Those
in
opposition,
please
raise
your
hand
all
right.
It
passes
unanimously
with
members
present
and
we
can
move
on
to
our
next
item.
Thank
you,
deputy
administrator
carr,
and
thank
you
for
all
the
staff
at
mdep
for
working
on
this
program
and
we
can
now
move
on
to
the
department.
A
This
is
item
h3
department
of
indigent
defense
and
it's
a
request
for
approval
to
accept
grant
funds
from
the

thousand
dollars

support
law,
school

externship
stipends

rural
areas,
to
increase
the
digit
defense
services
and
with
us
we
have
executive
director,
arriva
and
management
analyst
kona
to
explain
this
request
very
briefly.
B
B
The
department
is
mandated
by

them
to
provide
indigent
defense
services,
especially
in
the
rural
counties
of
the
state.
These
grant
funds
will
allow
the
department,
in
cooperation.
B
A
Thank
you
miss
reba,
and
I
would
like
to
turn
it
over
to
the
committee.
If
they
have
any
questions
comments.
A
I
do
not
see
any
so
I
will
entertain
a
motion
to
approve
item
h3.
A
Okay,
I
have
a
motion
from
vice
chair
carlton,
a
second
from
senator
dennis
any
discussion
on
that
motion.
A
I
see
none,
so
the
motion
passes
unanimously
with
the
members
present
and
we
can
move
on
to
the
next
item.
Thank
you,
miss
reba,
for
for
presenting
that
to
us
today
and
up
next
is
that's
all
of
the
items
under
agenda
item
h
and
so
up.
Next,
we
have
agenda
item
I,
which
is
the
request
for
approval
of
expenditure
from
the
account
for
renewable
energy,
energy
efficiency
and
energy
conservation,
and
we
have
deputy
director
jennifer
taylor
here
today
to
briefly
describe
what
this
request
is.
H
Thank
you,
chairman,
brooks
good
afternoon
vice
chair
carlton
and
members
of
the
committee.
My
name
is
jennifer
taylor.
I
serve
as
deputy
director
at
the
governor's
office
of
energy.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
goes
request
to
approve
this
grant
funding
to
the
walker
river
paiute
tribe.
H
This
item
requests
a
grant
from
goe
to
the
walker
river
paiute
tribe,
in
the
amount
of
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
to
be
dispersed
from
budget
account.
4875
category
11..
This
funding
comes
from
our
funds
previously
set
up
as
a
loan
program
and
converted
to
a
grant
program
in
2019
under
senate
bill
536.
H
This
is
the
first
notice
of
funding
opportunity
under
this
new
grant
structure
and
it
was
issued
earlier
this
year.
It
targeted
grants
focusing
on
tribal
energy
resilience
that
could
support
the
state's
climate
goals
and
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions
on
tribal
lands
and
provide
the
opportunity
for
nevada's
tribal
nations
to
develop
planning
analysis
and
or
infrastructure
projects
centering
on
energy
resilience,
economic
recovery
opportunities
and
energy
equity.
H
A
Thank
you
miss
taylor.
Do
we
have
any
questions
from
a
committee
on
this
particular
item?
I
have
assemblywoman
titus.
G
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
This
is
literally
in
my
north
yard.
I
would
say,
and
and
close
to
home,
just
questions
on
the
locations.
Looking
at
the
maps
that
were
provided,
you
have
included
the
saltwells
and
busca
area
which
are
not
tribal
lands
in
their
active
geothermal
locations.
Now
this
would
strictly
be
within
the
boundaries
of
the
sures.
Indian
reservation
is
that
clear.
G
And
and
the
way
I'm
looking
at
this,
if
I
might
follow
up
with
the
question
mr
chair,
is
that
they're
you're
looking
at
just
drilling
as
opposed
to
any
actual
use
or
production
or
selling
of
this
geothermal
energy.
This
is
strictly
exploration
because
the
funding
is
not
much,
and
so
we're
still
looking
at
exploration.
H
Jennifer
taylor,
for
the
record:
yes
assemblywoman,
it
is
still
exploration.
The
hope
that
the
tribe
has
is
that
they
will
find
geothermal
resources
and
then
be
able
to
take
those
next
steps
for
the
sale
of
those
resources.
H
Jennifer
taylor
for
the
record,
assemblywoman
titus.
If
I
might
just
get
some
clarification
when
you
say
ruling,
what
are
you
we're
going
to
understand.
H
Jennifer
taylor,
for
the
record:
yes,
assemblywoman,
these
are
federal
funds.
These
were
american.
These
were
our
funds
that
were
previously
a
loan
program
that
were
converted
again
to
grants
available
for
approved
funding
opportunities
in
2019..
So
these
are
federal
funds
that
would
be
used
on
those
tribal
lands.
A
Thank
you,
assemblywoman.
Do
you
have
any
other
questions
on
this
item.
D
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation
on
this
miss
taylor
yeah.
I
recall
when
we
took
action
to
convert
this
to
a
grant
program
and
remember
the
office
of
energy,
describing
the
first
priority
to
support
renewable
energy
efforts
on
tribal
land.
So
I'm
glad
to
see
that
this
is
kind
of
the
conclusion
of
that
first
phase
that
we
have
a
a
proposal
before
us.
H
Jennifer
taylor,
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
that
question.
Assemblyman
watts.
I
am
I'm
going
to
need
to
get
you
an
answer
on
what
funding
remains.
H
My
recollection
is
that
it
may
be
around
two
million
dollars,
but
we
will
provide
a
number
to
to
this
committee.
The
the
nofo
for
this
was
a
total
of
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
just
for
your
information,
and
there
were
actually
two
grants.
Preliminarily
approved
that
fell
underneath
that
cap.
D
Thank
you,
that's
really
helpful
and
and
again
just
kind
of
having
that
general
concept
of
two
million
dollars
and
and
then
you
know,
we're
making
this
grant
and
then
just
going
back
to
the
other.
My
other
question
around
kind
of
what
comes
next.
Do
you
yet
have
a
kind
of
a
process
figured
out
for
determining
what
the
next?
D
What's
the
timeline
for,
like
a
future
grant
cycle
and
figuring
out
like
what
the
the
focus
of
that
will
be.
H
Jennifer
taylor,
for
the
record,
thank
you,
assemblyman
watts
for
that
question.
That
is
something
that
internally
goe
is
talking
about
right
now
to
determine
what
would
be
the
next
funding
opportunity.
I
don't,
unfortunately,
have
a
timeline
for
you,
but
certainly
again.
That
is
something
that
I
can
get
back
to
you
on.
A
Thank
you,
assemblyman.
Do
we
have
any
other
questions
from
any
of
the
committee
members.
A
All
right,
I
do
not
see
any
and
thank
you
very
much
deputy
director
taylor
for
helping
us
out
today
and
presenting
that
to
us
and
congratulations
to
the
walker
river
bayou
tribe,
that's
exciting
news,
and
hopefully
their
exploratory
exploratory
drilling
finds
some
some
good
resources
all
right.
Well
with
that,
I
would
take
a
motion
to
approve
this
item.
A
A
All
right
I
see
none
and
so
all
in
favor,
please
raise
your
hand.
A
A
That
passes
unanimously
with
the
members
present.
I
I
just
think
I
need
to
recognize
that
we
have
a
handful
of
members
missing
on
that
vote
as
it
gets
late
in
the
day,
sometimes
others
that
I
have
other
obligations
they
have
to
go
to,
but
simian
leavitt
center,
sievers,
gancer
and
assemblyman
peterson
and
senator
settlemyre
were
not
able
to
make
that
particular
vote,
and
so
just
wanted
to
make
that
a
record
of
that
I
do.
A
I
see
I
see
someone
friar
said,
though,
thank
you,
sir
all
right,
so
that
book
passes
unanimously
with
the
members
present
and
I
noted
some
of
the
members
missing,
and
so,
if
we
could
move
on
to
the
next
item,
which
is
item
j
and
that
is
the
department
of
administration,
the
state
public
works
division,
it's
a
request
to
accept
and
expend
316
thousand
dollars
in
federal
funds
in
the
office
of
the
military
with
us.
A
Today
we
have
administrator
ward,
patrick
from
the
state,
public
works
division
and,
mr
patrick,
if
you
could
help
us,
explain
that
briefly
to
us
what
this
request
is
for
and
take
it
away.
B
Thank
you,
I'm
not
able
to
get
my
camera
going,
but
can
you
hear
me
on
the
on.
B
Chairman
members
of
the
committee,
I'm
ward,
patrick
administrator,
for
the
public
works
division
and
available
are
representatives
from
the
national
guard,
including
jamie
ivey.
Our
agencies
are
available
to
answer
any
questions
and
we'd
like
to
thank
you
for
consideration
of
this
important
item,
which
basically
allows
for
funding
to
kick
off
the
design
of
a
hangar
for
blackhawk
helicopters
located.
A
Thank
you,
mr
patrick,
and
so
this
is
additional
funds
that
became
available
in
addition
to
existing
already
approved
funds
for
this
project
and
and
a
this
is
an
expansion
of
the
scope
to
match
those
new
funds.
Is
that
correct?
A
I
Appreciate
that
these
funds
were
available
and
we
intended
to
do
some
work
prior
to
the
legislative
session
on
this
early
part.
A
Thank
you,
mr
patrick.
Do
we
have
any
questions
from
the
committee
on
this
item.
A
I
do
not
see
any
so
I
would
look
for
a
motion
to
approve
this
item.
A
A
A
A
Switch
gears
on
my
screens
that
are
open
and
with
us
today
to
discuss
that.
We
have
director
of
the
office
of
project
management,
mr
nix,
and,
and
we
have
several
representatives
from
the
vendor
that
is
implementing
smart
21
lsi,
consulting
joining
us
as
well.
So
we'll
start
with
mr
nix.
If
you
could,
if
you
would
talk
about
the
this
informational
item,
1b
about
the
silver
state,
water,
nation,
modernization
approach
for
resources
and
technology
in
the
21st
century,
or
what
we
like
to
call
smart
21.
I
I
At
that
point,
in
time
we
had
gone,
live
with
wave,
1.1
and
1.2,
which
is
the
employee,
central,
recruiting,
learning
and
onboarding,
and
we
were
working
towards
wave
1.3,
1.4
and
2.0.
1.3
is
payroll
and
1.4
is
talent
management
while
2.0
is
the
finance
piece.
I
Since
that
time,
we
have
revisited
the
schedule
for
1.3,
which
is
payroll
and
are
currently
working
to
a
six-month
delay
on
1.3
for
2.0,
which
is
the
finance
and
wave
1.4
we're
currently
working
with
lsi
on
the
current
timelines,
looking
to
make
sure
that
whatever
timelines
are
out
there,
we
can
make,
if
not,
making
the
adjustments
as
necessary
to
ensure
that
the
products
are
are
implemented
correctly
and
the
state's
resources
are
ready
to
utilize
them
some
additional
information
on
the
project's
status.
I
Currently,
as
I
just
mentioned,
we
are
behind
schedule,
but
we're
also
under
budget.
This
is
a
deliverable
based
project
so
until
the
deliverables
are
paid
or
completed,
there
is
no
payment.
In
addition
to
that,
during
the
travel
restrictions,
lsi
consulting
provided
the
state
with
credits
for
what
they
would
have
used
for
traveling
and
in
total
it's
come
up
to
close
to
a
million
dollars
due
to
the
delays
and
1.3
and
potential
delays
for
1.4
and
2.0.
I
We
fully
expect
those
travel
credits
to
be
absorbed
with
our
internal
costs
a
little
bit
with
that
with
our
go
live
for
1.1
and
1.2.
We
have
some
some
challenges
that
we're
still
working
through
primarily
with
recruiting,
which
is
1.2.
I
The
key
issues
within
the
recruiting
is
there's
a
search
criteria,
that's
utilized
to
identify
regional
areas.
It's
not
inherent
to
the
system.
The
functionality
in
the
system
that
sap
developed
does
not
work
the
way
it
should
for
us,
and
we
brought
it
up
to
sap
and
their
response
was
that
it
works.
I
The
functionality
works
as
it
was
designed
because
that
functionality
is
being
utilized
for
different
areas
within
the
system,
so
we're
working
with
lsi
to
address
that
the
training
and
experience
evaluations,
those
are
not
working
as
designed
at
the
systems
we're
working
to
configure
them
in
a
way
to
make
sure
that
they
work
for
the
hr
team.
This
obviously
drives
additional
work
for
the
hr
team,
and
then
we
have
a
couple
of
other
things.
One
is
recruiting
without
a
pcn.
I
Lastly,
we
have
a
center
of
capabilities
that
we're
building
within
the
system
and
what
this
will
do
is
it
will
it's
a
library
of
all
the
classification
information
and
the
minimum
qualifications
special
requirements,
and
so
all
of
that
will
facilitate
the
creation
of
recruitments
as
well
with
that,
I
will
open
it
up
for
any
questions
for
myself,
our
representatives
from
lsi,
as
well
as
paul
miner,
who
is
a
senior
director
with
gartner
consulting
who
is
doing
our
independent
validation
of
verification
and
validation
for
the
project.
A
All
right,
thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
mr
nix
and
I
think
we
have
a
couple
of
questions
I'll
start
off
with
assembly,
one.
O
Thank
you,
chair,
brooks
and
again
my
internet's
a
little
unstable.
So
if
I
cut
out,
I
apologize,
but
I
do
have
a
couple
of
questions
and
I
know
you
have
representatives
from
lsi
on,
but
I
think
these
questions
might
be
better
suited
for
you,
mr
nix.
I
know
prior
to
january
2021,
there
hadn't
been
any
concerns
or
any
delays.
I
So
paul
next
to
women
how
to
gain
the
monthly
reports,
show
that
a
lot
of
the
missed
deliverables,
early
indicators-
you
know
when
we
look
at
the
stats
associated
with
that.
Not
all
of
the
deliverables
really
will
impact
the
project
itself,
and
so,
when
we
look
at
the
late,
the
late
deliverables,
we
have
just
one.
Second.
I
When
we
look
at
the
late
deliverables
themselves,
we
have
about
half
of
the
deliverables
that
we've
seen
were
late,
and
if
you
want
to
look
at,
you
know
some
additional
stats
associated
with
that
the
number
of
deliverables
that
were
on
the
critical
path,
so
that
would
actually
impact
the
flow
of
the
project
was
24
out
of
133
total
deliverables.
I
11
of
those
were
resolved
within
the
first
week,
and
additional
eight
of
those
happened
just
recently
over
the
summer,
which
are
related
to
the
finance
piece
and
the
impact
of
those
additional
eight
really
wouldn't
impact
us
until
closer
to
december
of
this
year.
So,
given
that
a
lot
of
these
deliverables
were
were
the
formal
documentation
for
payment,
the
fact
that
those
were
late
didn't
rise
to
a
very
high
level
of
concern,
either
for
gartner
or
for
the
state
of
nevada.
I
O
Okay,
thank
you
and
thank
you,
mr
nix,
and
then
just
a
couple
more
questions.
No,
you
did
mention
that
the
project
was
on
a
six-month
delay.
Does
that
mean
that
we
anticipate
the
human
resources,
payroll
and
finance
modules
to
be
completed
within
those
six
months?
Will
the
entire
project
be
completed
because
it
was?
It
was
set
to
be
completed
in
july
of
2022,
and
so
it
walked
me
through
what
those
delays
have
done
and
when
we
expect
those
modules
to
be
completed.
I
Sure
so
paul
nix
for
the
record
to
assemblywoman
have
again
so
for
the
project
itself.
Our
first
two
waves
wave
1.1
1.2,
were
three
months
delayed.
They
were
supposed
to
go
live
last
january.
They
went
live
in
march.
Wave
1.3,
which
is
payroll,
was
supposed
to
go
and
1.4,
which
is
talent.
Management
was
supposed
to
go,
live
in
january
of
22.
I
I
I
First,
we
don't
feel
that
we
have
that
we'll
be
able
to
provide
sufficient
time
for
the
agencies
to
update
their
internal
controls
to
ensure
that
the
state
resources
are
fully
trained
on
the
new
system
as
well
as
have
their
systems
that
need
to
be
integrated
into
the
financial
system,
fully
integrated
and
so
we're
looking
at
the
finance
schedule
right
now
and
once
we
have
a
decision
on
on
that
schedule,
we'd
be
more
than
happy
to
share
with
you.
O
Okay,
thank
you
and
chair
just
two
last
questions.
If
I
could,
I
was
gonna
ask
mr
nix,
you
know
if
there
was
any
financial
and
operational
ramifications
to
the
delays
and
I
think
you
kind
of
touched
on
the
financial
ones
and
they're
actually
positive.
So
that's
good
news,
but
what
about
any
operational
ramifications
to
the
delays?
Can
you
walk
us
through?
Are
we
gonna
use
our
existing
human
resources
information
systems,
or
is
that
still
operational.
I
So
so,
right
now,
these
current
systems
that
are
that
would
be
impacted,
is
advantage
hr
and
advantage
financial
advantage.
Hr.
We're
we'll
need
to
keep
running
until
payroll
goes
live
once
payroll
goes,
live,
we'll
be
able
to
drop
advantage.
Hr
we'll
also
need
to
keep
meets
running
actually
and
then
we'll
have
to
keep
meech
running
until
the
payroll
goes
live
as
well,
and
then,
obviously,
once
finance
goes
live,
the
advantage
financial
system
will
be
able
to
be
retired.
I
When
I
say
retired
doesn't
mean
that
we're
not
going
to
keep
them
up
and
running
previous
conversations
with
the
department
of
hr
is
they
wanted
to
keep
advantage
hr
running
at
least
six
months
post
go
live
for
any
historical
data
that
they
may
have
and
as
we
progress,
we
may
keep
it
in
a
more
or
less
mock
wall
status,
to
be
able
to
extract
information
from
and
then
from
the
finance
side.
I
Speaking
to
the
office
of
the
controller,
their
thoughts
are
to
ensure
that
the
the
financial
system
is
up
and
running
for
a
full
year.
Post
go
live
solely
for
the
reporting
for
the
capital
reporting
and
ensuring
that
their
data
is
correct
and
they're
able
to
do
the
reporting.
I
So
from
that
point
of
view,
the
individuals
that
are
currently
supporting
the
hr
advantage
system
and
the
needs
system
were
transferred
over
into
my
organization
last
session.
So
that
way
they
could
start
learning
the
new
system
and
when
we
retire
the
legacy
systems
they
roll
into
supporting
the
current
system.
The
resources
that
are
supporting
the
finance
system
reside
within
the
office,
the
controller's
office,
and
they
had
plans
on
what
they
were
going
to
utilize
those
resources
for
when
they
retired
the
financial
system.
I
So,
from
an
operational
standpoint,
you
know
my
biggest
concern
with
any
delays
really
always
came
down
to
the
the
payroll
system.
Every
time
we
run
payroll,
we
seem
to
have
lots
of
issues
which
cause
over
time
work
over
the
weekends
to
get
them
results.
We
can
get
payroll
out
and
so
any
you
know
any
delays.
From
an
operational
standpoint,
my
biggest
concern
is
to
ensure
that
we're
able
to
make
our
payments
to
our
employees.
O
I
So,
with
the
last
delay
that
was
announced
with
wave
1.3
payroll,
the
executive
committee
sent
a
corrective
action
letter
to
lsi
outlining
outstanding
tickets
for
1.2,
which
has
the
reduced
functionality
for
recruiting
to
be
resolved,
as
well
as
identifying
the
future
steps
needed
to
take
to
account
for
the
impacts
of
the
delay
to
1.3.
As
it
applies
to
1.4
and
1.2,
and
then
also.
I
Some
some
various
other
items
just
to
really
address
the
inconsistent
quality
and
miss
milestones,
and
also
the
request
to
bring
in
a
platinum
consultant
to
do
a
overview
of
the
1.1
and
1.2
configurations
to
make
sure
that
it's
on
board
and
then
also
included
in
that
report,
was
the
replacement
of
their
project
manager,
which
we
have
an
interim
project
manager
in
there.
I
That
has
yet
to
be
to
be
approved
by
the
smart
21
team
once
that
approval
goes
in
he'll,
go
from
being
the
the
interim
to
the
actual
project
manager
and
from
what
I've.
Seen
since
the
cure
letter,
there
has
been
a
improvement
in
the
performance
by
lsi.
I
They
brought
in
more
resources
to
help
resolve
the
existing
tickets,
as
well
as
a
better
focus
on
the
timelines
and
the
schedules,
and
so
that's
basically
where
we're
at
as
far
as
kind
of
corrective
action
and
working
with
the
vendor
to
address
those
concerns.
A
Thank
you,
assemblywoman
hadith,
and
thank
you,
mr
nix.
Any
other
questions
from
the
committee
of
mr
nix
or
or
lsi
or
the
team.
That's
working
today.
A
And
again
my
apologies
we're
scrolling
back
and
forth
through
screens
here.
So
I
I
don't
see
any
further
questions,
but
we
will
be
talking
to
you
again
in
february
and
I
would
request
that
that
lsi.
A
Provide
a
status
report
for
the
interim
finance
committee
and
a
presentation
on
you
know
we'll
discuss
where
the
status
is.
But
if
we
are
on
the
same
track
or
if
it's
accelerated
or
if
we've
gotten
back
back
to
some
of
where
our
deliverable
milestone.
A
Targets
are,
I
would
like
to
understand
from
lsi's
point
of
view
what
that
process
looks
like,
and
so,
mr
mix
and
we
see
you
back
in
february,
we'd
love
to
see
a
presentation
from
lsi
as
well.
A
Great,
thank
you
all
for
for
giving
us
that
update
on
smart
21
today
and
with
that
we
will
move
to
that,
doesn't
need
any
action.
I
don't
believe
so.
We
will
move
to
the
next
informational
item
and
that
next
informational
item
is
k11
and.
D
A
Is
from
the
department
of
health
and
human
services,
division
of
child
and
family
services,
and
we
have
mr
ross
armstrong
with
us
today
and
I
think
he's
joined
by
ms
nielsen
to
update
us
on
that
issue.
At
the
oasis
facility.
P
Thank
you,
chair
brooks.
This
is
administrator,
armstrong,
administrator
of
the
division
of
child
and
family
services,
I'm
going
to
provide
some
context
and
then
have
the
opportunity
for
any
questions.
The
committee
may
have
this
week.
The
american
academy
of
pediatrics,
the
children's
hospital
association
and
the
american
academy
of
child
and
adolescent
psychiatry
came
together
to
declare
a
national
emergency
in
child
and
adolescent
mental
health.
P
Among
other
things,
they
call
for
increased
federal
funding,
increased
access
to
care
and
to
address
ongoing
challenges
of
acute
care,
meets
and
workforce
development.
Nevada
is
not
immune
from
this
national
emergency,
even
as
kovitz
seemed
to
trend
in
a
positive
direction.
Over
the
summer,
it
became
clear
that
nevada's,
delicate
mental
health
systems
were
facing
their
greatest
test.
P
As
the
division
of
child
and
family
services
assessed
our
current
services.
We
observed
an
increase
in
acuteness
and
serious
a
need
seriousness
of
need
across
our
residential
programs.
As
this
body
is
aware,
we
have
tried
different
strategies
over
the
years
to
fully
fully
utilize
the
space
at
desert
willow
treatment
center.
P
Divisions
we've
also
submitted
american
rescue
plan
act
concepts
for
consideration
to
support
children,
youth
and
families,
as
we
continue
the
long
emotional
response
and
recovery
from
the
coca-19
pandemic
through
this
process
of
proposing
to
move
the
oasis
programming
into
the
desert
willow
treatment
center,
we
heard
from
concerned
community
partners
about
the
relocation
of
the
program
and
in
response
to
that,
we've
slowed
our
transition
timeline.
We're
committed
to
operating
two
of
the
four
oasis
buildings
until
the
replacement
services
are
securely
in
place.
P
The
end
result
of
this
of
this
proposal
will
mean
increased
inpatient
and
bed
capacity
for
children
and
youth
facing
significant
mental
health
challenges.
P
The
combination
of
increased
need,
increased
severity
of
that
need,
continued
disruption
of
nevada's
everyday
normal.
The
difficulty
in
the
general
labor
market
and
non-competitive
wages
have
merged
into
this
crisis
in
nevada
and
across
the
country.
The
concept
of
relocating
oasis
into
desert
willow
is
not
a
fix
that
will
fix
all
of
the
issues
we
are
facing,
but
it
was
one
area
where
the
division
could
be
nimble
with
the
resources
we
had
to
face
the
historic
challenges.
P
This
item
was
submitted
as
part
of
our
commitment
to
be
transparent
with
you,
the
members
of
the
legislature,
of
the
issues
we
are
facing
in
children's
mental
health
and
our
attempts
to
address
them
with
me.
I
have
deputy
administrator
susie
miller
who
oversees
our
residential
services
and
we're
happy
to
discuss
any
questions
or
concerns
or
feedback.
You
have
at
this
time.
A
Thank
you,
mr
armstrong,
really
appreciate
that,
and
and
before
we
kick
it
off
with
us
a
few
questions.
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
being
so
proactive
on
keeping
us
updated
while
there's
no
action
necessary
here.
This
is
an
informational
item.
It's
it's
very
much
appreciated
that
we
understand
what
you're
doing
and
the
steps
that
you
need
to
take
before
they
happen
and
really
just
want
to.
Thank
you
so
I
will
hand
this
off
to
someone.
K
C
P
This
is
administrator
armstrong.
We
determined
there
is
no
fiscal
impact
that
would
be
greater
than
the
allocation
we've
been
granted
for
these
positions
in
the
legislature,
so
we
don't
foresee
any
scenario
where
the
cost
of
this
relocation
would
have
us
go
beyond
the
resources.
We've
already
been
allocated.
D
Well,
yes,
thank
you,
mr
chair.
Mr
armstrong,
could
you
speak
a
little
bit
more
about
the
staffing
and
capacity
issues,
so
you
know
in
particular,
it
sounds
like
there's
staffing
issues
in
both
facilities.
D
You
know
we're
looking
to
address
some
of
those
issues
by
getting
everyone
over
to
desert
willow
and
I
think,
because
of
the
staffing
issues,
there's
been
a
lower
capacity
than
what's
a
lower
occupancy
than
what's
been
legislatively
approved.
Can
you
explain
how
bringing
everyone
together
at
desert
willow
can?
D
But
you
know
with
the
existing
resources,
can
you
know
allow
us
to?
You
know,
support
more
beds,
and
you
know
how
how
if
it
all,
does
this
address
the
overall
staffing
issues
that
we've
seen
with
with
these
facilities.
H
This
is
susie
miller,
residential
deputy
administrator
at
the
time
when
we
started
considering
the
relocation
oasis
had
a
40
vacancy
rate
and
desert
willow
had
a
25
vacancy
rate.
In
addition
to
that,
due
to
covet,
we
had
an
average
of
10
percent
of
the
staff
that
were
either
out
with
coveted
or
had
been
exposed,
though
they
were
unable
to
come
to
work.
So
when
we
looked
at
the
potential
of
the
relocation
at
that
time
again,
I
think
oasis
was
down
to
three
homes
being
operated
and
desert.
D
Okay,
thank
you
for
that.
I,
I
think
that's
helpful
in
terms
of
understanding
the
different
populations,
so
just
to
kind
of
put
a
finer
point
on
it
will
we
is
this
essentially
just
allowing
us
to
better
serve
some
of
those
specific
populations,
or
do
we
actually
see
the
ability
to
get
those
vacancy
rates
down
and
serve
more
clients
through
this
through
this
relocation.
P
This
is
administrator,
I'm
trying,
I
would
say
it's
going
to
allow
us
to
do
two
things:
one
we
can
more
appropriately
serve
the
children
that
are
currently
at
oasis
in
the
in
the
facility
at
desert.
Willow
deputy
miller
talked
about
that
young
age
range.
We
had
actually
quite
a
large
number
of
those
age
range
of
youth,
eloping
and
running
away
from
the
facility
leading
to
those
safety
concerns
now.
In
addition,
it
frees
up
that
building
space
for
community
providers
or
other
entities
to
come
in
and
create
new
services
on
the
campus.
P
So
we
would,
we
would
be
able
to
serve
the
same
number
of
youth
in
desert
willow
treatment
center
or
an
expanded
number
of
youth
and
desert
willa
treatment
center
same
number
of
youth,
as
we
can
serve
in
oasis
and
desert
willow
now
and
then
bring
on
community
providers
into
the
space
on
the
campus
having
the
team
together.
D
A
Thank
you,
assemblyman
and
thank
you,
mr
armstrong.
I
believe
we
have
a
question
from
assemblywoman
peters
as
well.
C
B
It's
a
really
interesting
issue
and
dynamic,
we're
seeing
situations
like
this
across
the
state
not
necessarily
specific
to
youth,
but
just
in
beds
and
mobilizing
the
limited
medical
providers
that
we
have
in
the
state.
I
am
curious,
though,
if
you
can
expand
on
what
you
were
talking
about.
You
mentioned
a
little
bit
about
how
oasis
homes
is
going
to
be
managed
following
the
kind
of
consolidation
you're
talking
about.
But
can
you
go
into
a
little
more
detail
about
how
oasis
homes
will
function?
B
How
we
you'll
you'll
be
utilizing
that
facility
of
what
it
will
be
doing
after
the
consolidation
into
the
desert
rural
student
center.
P
Sure
this
is
administrator
armstrong,
so
currently
we
have
two
oasis
cottages
operating
and
they'll
maintain
that
operation
until
we
have
services
confirmed
that
can
move
in
and
come
in
behind,
so
that
there's
not
a
drop
in
overall
bed
capacity.
P
Currently,
the
state
has
been
working
with
the
local
government,
specifically
clark
county
and
they're,
looking
at
potential
looking
at
utilizing
two
of
the
remaining
cottages,
one
focused
on
children
with
developmental
disabilities
and
intellectual
disabilities
and
one
as
a
qualified
residential
treatment
program
that
qrtp
type
of
service
is
new
under
the
family.
First
prevention
services
act,
which
allows
for
a
residential
setting
that
that
has
certain
clinical
components
to
it.
So
we're
working
through
that
process.
P
Now,
as
I
said,
we're
we're
gonna
keep
the
two
cottages
operating,
as
is
currently
with
the
ability
to
better
utilize
the
space
on
the
campus.
As
we
come
up
with
a
larger
vision
of
how
that
campus
might
be
used
to
serve
nevadans.
B
H
B
P
This
is
administrator
armstrong.
We
don't
have
a
specific
timeline
today.
We
do
know
that
there
is
strong
interest
from
the
county
on
two
of
the
buildings
and
then
we
would
need
to
explore
and
match
up
with
what
we
determine
is
the
need
for
services
with
providers
to
come
into
those
oasis
buildings
that
work.
We
will
continue
to
operate
until
we
have
someone
secured
so
there's
not
interest.
I
mean
there's
not
interest,
but
there's
not
like
a
confirmed
plan
for
those
two
that
we're
operating
now
at
this
time.
A
Thank
you,
assemblywoman.
Do
we
have
any
questions,
any
other
questions
for
armstrong.
C
Sorry,
thank
you,
chair,
brooks
for
indulging
me
with
another
question.
One
of
the
things
I'm
hearing
a
lot
about
is
the.
B
H
H
We
have
mental
health
counselors.
We
have
openings
for
those
positions
as
well
and
in
the
oasis
program
there
are
treatment,
home
providers,
so
mental
health
technicians.
We
actually
offer
them
the
opportunity
to
take
classes
at
community
college,
so
they
don't
require
existing
education,
but
we
provide
the
opportunity
for
them
to
gain
their
certification
while
they
are
employed
and
allows
them
to
go
from
a
mental
health
technician
one
to
two
to
three
as
they
complete
their
education
or
the
the
classes
and
right
now,
really.
H
The
nursing
shortage
is
huge
and
significant
because
that
with
the
prtf
it
requires
nursing
staff
and
certainly
as
well
as
the
hospital.
So
you
can't
operate
units
or
you
know,
facilities
without
the
nursing.
So
that
is
our
our
main
challenge
with
the
tech
physicians
right
behind
there
great.
H
A
Believe
assemblywoman
moreno
has
a
question
as
well.
J
B
You,
mr
chairman,
thank
you,
mr
armstrong,
for
the
presentation,
explanation
of
the
situation
that
we're
in
I
agree
with
you.
This
is
an
emergency
situation
that
we're
facing
as
a
state
and
here
in
clark
county
yesterday,
there
was
a
a
protest
at
child
haven
because
we're
utilizing
that
facility
in
a
way
that
it's
truly
not
licensed
to
be
used.
So
I
would
request
that
this
committee
be
kept
informed
at
each
one
of
our
ifc
meetings
as
to
where
we
are
because
it
is
an
emergency
situation
in
our
state.
B
A
Thank
you
assemblywoman.
I
agree
and
do
you
have
any
other
questions
from
anyone
else
on
the
committee?
A
I
would
like
to
echo
what
assemblywoman
moreno
said
and
and
also
thank
you,
mr
armstrong,
and
and
thank
you
for
your
entire
team
for
trying
to
tackle
this
issue
and
all
the
work
that
you
do
on
a
day-to-day
basis,
but
trying
to
tackle
this
issue
and
dealing
with
the
shortages
and
and
making
it
work,
and
also
I
want
to
thank
you
for
being
so
proactive
and
communicative
with
our
staff,
as
well.
A
As
with
this
committee,
on
what
you're
doing
and
and
as
assemblywoman
monroe
moreno
said,
could
you
please
come
back
the
next
ifc
with
the
status
meeting,
with
a
status
update
on
where
you're
at
and
we're
very
interested
in
this
issue
and
would
appreciate
to
hear
what
progress
has
been
made?
A
J
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
chairman,
and
I
thank
you
for
what
you've
said
and
what
miss
monroe
moreno
said.
I
know
it's
very
unusual,
but
this
is
a.
This
has
got
a
lot
of
players
in
it,
and
this
includes
clark
county,
because
the
way
desert,
willow
and
oasis
and
the
other
two
buildings
could
possibly
be
picked
up.
A
Vice
chair
I'll
definitely
coordinate
with
staff
and
yourself
and
mr
armstrong,
and
we
can
see
what
we
can
do.
Thank.
M
A
J
And
thank
you
for
this
is
very
unusual
and
thank
you
for
the
permission
for
allowing
me
to
bring
somebody
having
him
come
in
and
do
this
so,
mr
schiller,
I
know
there's
been
some
ongoing
conversations
with
the
state.
We
know
that
there
are
issues
at
child
haven.
We
know
you're
being
proactive
and
trying
to
make
sure
that
these
these
children
have
a
safe,
secure,
healthy
place
to
go
to
get
treatment.
J
M
Thank
you
vice
chair
and
mr
chair
for
allowing
me
the
time
to
speak
just
a
quick
overview.
I
don't
want
to
duplicate
what
director
armstrong
has
indicated
around
coveted
mental
health.
I
think
I
am
somewhat
preaching
to
the
choir
with
the
committee
related
to
deficiencies
in
mental
health.
That's
been
an
ongoing
discussion.
We've
had
for
multiple
years.
What
I
would
say
is
that
covid,
in
conjunction
with
staffing
issues
that
are
tied
to
that
in
conjunction
with
rates,
has
all
kind
of
led
to
a
convergence
of
a
perfect
storm.
M
Speaking
frankly
from
a
county
perspective
and
a
parent
perspective.
There's
two
populations
here:
there's
the
population
when
I
come
to
you
and
speak
from
clark
county
child
welfare,
but
I
also
speak
to
you
from
a
community
resource
perspective.
So
the
issue
is:
if
community
can't
get
access
to
needed
levels
of
care
and
services,
what
happens?
Is
they
escalate
into
building
such
or
programs
such
as
oasis
or
desert
willow?
M
M
This
is
an
hourly
crisis,
so
to
give
some
numbers
around
what
we're
dealing
with
with
highly
acute
kids,
we
have
intellectual
disabilities,
we
have
highly
acute
mental
health,
kids
and
then
we
have
simply
kids
that
are
coming
into
our
facility
based
on
abuse,
the
blacks
that
aren't
demonstrating
those
behaviors
that
we're
caring,
for.
I
would
argue
that
we're
doing
this
in
a
licensed
child
care
facility,
which
is
four
levels
down
from
the
programs
we're
discussing
today.
M
So
with
that
being
said,
that
storm
is
needed:
staffing,
medical
nurses,
what
you've
heard
today,
behavioral
health
tech
on
the
county
side,
just
to
give
you
kind
of
a
community
need
perspective,
taking
it
out
of
child
welfare
in
a
60-day
period.
We
had
25
parents
come
to
us,
trying
to
relinquish
their
kids,
not
due
to
abuse
or
neglect,
but
because
they
couldn't
manage
the
behaviors
or
the
mental
health.
M
So
in
a
population
of
70
kids
in
any
given
day,
it's
20
to
25,
kids
that
have
assaulted,
behaviors,
acute
mental
health
and
services
now
fast
forwarding
to
the
state
side
and
the
collaboration
we've
been
meeting
ongoing.
We
were
meeting
even
previous
to
this
absolute
crisis.
What
I
would
say
is
the
call
to
action
is
really
around.
How
do
we
address
all
three
of
those
community
based
but
more
urgently
residential
treatment,
both
in
a
lockdown
and
a
non-lockdown
facility?
M
I
want
to
make
sure
I
echo,
on
the
childhood
side,
we're
trying
to
bring
services
into
the
facility.
At
the
same
time,
I
would
I
would
pass
my
compliments
onto
adsd
and
on
the
state
side
to
jeff
hague,
who,
who
this
week
gave
me
an
emergency
lease
for
two
buildings.
Those
two
buildings
allow
us
to
have
an
incentive
to
get
a
provider
and
execute
on
a
provider
going
there
on
an
emergency
basis
over
an
18-month
contract
to
provide
oasis
level
services
in
kind
of
an
unlocked
setting.
M
I
think
one
thing
we
have
to
figure
out
in
the
levels
of
care
is:
if
we
move
an
oasis
into
a
desert
willow,
we're
actually
reducing
our
residential
treatment
services
capacity.
So
it's
a
question
of
how
do
you
manage
the
capacity
and
get
the
most
bang
out
of
your
buck
in
terms
of
that
and
then
recruit
providers
together?
M
The
last
piece
that
I
would
kind
of
indicate
is
from
a
budgetary
perspective
and
in
terms
of
that
world
we
aren't
in
the
residential
treatment
business.
So
I
want
to
make
sure
I
echo
we
have
been
working
collaboratively,
because
this
is
an
emergency.
This
is
an
emergency
to
the
population
of
all
three
of
those
sets
of
kids.
I
talked
about
and
let's
not
leave
out
our
staff
who
are
in
danger
and
dealing
with
behaviors
that
they
are
not
equipped
to
deal
with.
M
So,
given
that
I
want
to
make
sure
I
kind
of
emphasize
we
stand
ready.
We
remain
doing
this.
This
is
a
daily,
it's
saturdays,
it's
sundays!
It's
mondays!
I
can't
emphasize
it
enough
what
we
are
doing
on
a
one-to-one
ratio
to
try
to
make
sure
kids
that
need
higher
levels
of
care
are
getting
that
higher
level
of
care,
and
then
I
think
kind
of
in
the
short
and
the
midterm
game
is
we
have
to
talk
about.
M
How
do
we
get
community-based
services
because
we're
so
lacking
kids
escalate
up
the
chain
and
we
end
up
in
this
circumstance.
So
that
being
said,
I
I
appreciate
the
committee
giving
me
the
time
to
speak.
We
certainly
will
keep
you
apprised
of
what's
happening.
I
did
want
to.
I
think
there
was
a
couple
questions
tied
to
what's
the
timeline,
so
I
wanted
to
kind
of
echo
that
that
emergency
sublease
for
those
two
buildings
is
being
reviewed
right
now
we
got
that
this
week.
M
If
we
can
get
into
those
buildings,
we
have
two
two
providers
that
we
would
be
bringing
forward.
One
would
be
for
an
icf,
so
that's
the
intellectual
and
developmentally
delayed
population
that
would
support
that
population
and
then
the
second
piece
would
be
for
a
qualified
residential
treatment
program
which
would
fit
into
one
of
the
other
oasis
buildings.
M
So
between
those
two
you're
talking
about
approximately
six
kids
in
each
of
those
programs
based
on
where
we
currently
sit,
so
something
is
better
than
nothing
we're
trying
to
execute
as
quickly
as
we
can
over
this
emergency
period,
and
we
certainly
will
keep
everybody.
J
A
I
love
surprises,
so
no
more
questions
and
we
can
move
on
to
our
next
item,
and
so
I,
mr
armstrong,
we'd
love
to
hear
back
from
you,
but
I
think
it'll
probably
be
better
in
february
and
then
in
december.
I
think,
that's
too
short
of
a
fuse
to
get
your
anything
any
any
progress
together
to
be
able
to
submit
and
get
on
our
next
agenda.
So
if
you
could
work
with
our
staff
to
get
on
the
agenda
in
in
february,
we'd
love
to
hear
some
progress.
A
All
right
thanks
a
lot
well
that
takes
us
to
our
next
item
and
our
final
item
before
our
public
comment
and
we
wrap
up
for
the
day,
and
that
is
the
a
status
update
regarding
the
coronavirus
state
fiscal
recovery
funds
and
that
we
have.
We
have
some
an
update
and
we
have
some
new
information
and
we
have
with
us
today,
brian
fernley,
who
is
the
legislative
council
for
for
the
nevada
legislature,
and
we
have
susan
brown
who's.
A
The
director
of
the
governor's
finance
office,
and
I
will
hand
that
over
to
mr
furley
right
now-
and
you
can
kick
it
off
and
walk
us
through
an
opinion
that
you
have
shared
with
us.
K
Yes,
thank
you,
as
mr
chairman,
lcv
legal
was
asked
to
provide
further
information
to
the
committee
to
explain
the
legal
mechanism
by
which
the
money
received
by
the
state
of
nevada
from
the
coronavirus
state
fiscal
recovery
fund
may
be
spent.
K
K
It
is
important
to
to
note
that
congress,
under
the
supremacy
clause
of
the
united
states
constitution,
has
the
power
to
preempt
state
laws
and
because
federal
agencies
are
charged
with
administering
and
interpreting
those
federal
laws.
Federal
regulations
and
administrative
interpretations.
Implementing
the
laws
enacted
by
congress
do
have
the
same
preemptive
force
as
federal
law.
K
Notwithstanding
any
of
the
provisions
in
state
law
with
respect
to
the
expenditure
of
the
money
received
by
the
state
from
the
coronavirus
state
fiscal
recovery
fund,
the
federal
regulations
and
administrative
interpretations
from
the
department
of
treasury
will
guide
how
the
state
is
able
to
expend
this
money.
K
Moving
on
to
the
state
laws
governing
the
expenditure
of
this
money.
The
starting
point
is
article
4,
section
19
of
the
nevada
constitution,
which
states
that
no
money
shall
be
drawn
from
the
treasury,
but
in
consequence
of
appropriations
made
by
law,
the
nevada
supreme
court
has
interpreted
the
term
appropriation
to
mean
the
setting,
aside
from
the
public
revenue
of
a
certain
sum
of
money
for
a
specified
object
in
such
manner
that
the
executive
officers
of
the
government
are
authorized
to
use
that
money
and
no
more
for
that
object
and
no
other.
K
Thus,
the
term
appropriation
in
the
nevada
constitution
includes
any
authorization
from
the
legislature
which
is
approved
by
the
governor
to
expend
money
received
as
public
revenue
from
sources
other
than
the
state
general
fund
or
state
highway
fund,
and
that
includes
grants
of
federal
money
such
as
the
csfrf
money
senate.
Bill
459
from
the
2021
legislative
session
is
the
authorizations
act
that
was
passed
by
the
2021
nevada
legislature
and
approved
by
the
governor
to
provide
this
authorization
for
expenditures
by
various
state
agencies
of
state
government.
K
For
the
2021
to
2023
biennium,
section
1
of
sb
459
authorizes
the
governor's
office
to
expend
approximately
2.7
billion
dollars
in
fiscal,
sorry,
2.8
billion
dollars
in
fiscal
year,
2022
and
2.7
billion
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
2023
for
from
the
cs,
frf
for
covid
19
relief
programs
to
carry
out
the
authorized
spending
of
sb
459.
K
K
Account
thus,
the
portion
of
the
csfrf
money
that
was
calculated
to
be
lost
revenue
could
not
end
up
in
replenishing
the
state
rainy
day
account
after
the
adjournment
of
the
2021
session,
the
governor's
finance
office
in
consultation
with
the
assembly,
fiscal
analyst
and
senate
fiscal
analyst
calculated
an
amount
of
1.086
billion
dollars
as
lost
revenue
that
the
state
of
nevada
could
spend
for
the
provision
of
government
services
in
accordance
with
the
federal
american
recovery
plan
act
and
the
regulations
and
administrative
interpretations
to
implement
that
act.
K
Sb
461
required
this
lost
revenue
amount
to
be
transferred
to
the
state
general
fund
under
by
state
statute
and
accounting
policy.
The
state
general
fund
is
used
to
receive
all
revenues
and
account
for
all
expenditures,
not
otherwise
required
to
be
accounted
for
in
another
fund,
and
the
state
general
fund
contains
both
money
that
is
restricted
for
a
particular
use
and
money.
K
That
is
unrestricted
because
it
has
not
been
appropriated
or
authorized
for
use
and
is
thus
available
to
the
legislature
to
be
appropriated
according
to
the
state,
controller's
policies
and
procedures
that
implement
the
state
accounting
procedures.
Law,
unrestricted
revenue
is
revenue
which
does
not
meet
the
definition
of
restricted
revenue
and
restricted
revenue
is
a
financial
resource
that
is
subject
to
constraints
imposed
by
law.
K
As
I
mentioned
section,
one
of
that
act
authorizes
the
governor's
office
to
spend
the
entire
amount
of
the
csfrf
money
for
covid
relief
programs
over
the
next
two
fiscal
years,
and
because
this
crf
cs
frf
money
is
not
part
of
the
unrestricted
balance
of
the
state
general
fund,
it
is
not
eligible
to
be
transferred
to
the
rainy
day
account
pursuant
to
the
calculation
performed
under
nrs
353
0.288,
and
that
is
consistent
with
the
federal
law
and
and
administrative
interpretations
that
prohibit
the
loss
revenue
portion
from
being
used
to
replenish
a
rainy
day
account.
K
The
entire
amount
of
the
csf,
our
f
money,
was
included
in
the
authorized
expenditures
to
transfer
the
sierra
csfrf
money
out
of
the
reserve
allotment
in
budget
account.
101
1327,
section
5
of
the
authorizations
act
would
require
compliance
with
nrs
353.150
to
353
246,
which
would
include
compliance
with
the
work
program
revision
process.
K
Thus
because
the
entire
amount
of
the
csfrf
money
was
authorized
for
expenditure
in
the
authorizations
act,
the
csfrf
money,
including
the
loss
revenue
portion,
would
be
transferred
out
of
the
reserve.
Allotments
in
budget
account
101
1327
for
expenditure
through
the
process
of
approving
work
program,
visions
which
would
include
the
ifc
approval
for,
or
at
least
submission
to,
ifc
and
ifc
consideration
of
work
program,
revisions
that
met
the
threshold
for
the
submission
of
work
program
revisions
to
the
ifc.
A
O
Thank
you.
Since
I
asked
for
the
question
in
our
last
gathering,
I
really
appreciate
the
response,
and
so
just
to
put
it
in
the
simplest
lay
person
language.
O
K
That
is
correct
because
of
the
money
was
authorized
for
expenditure
in
the
authorizations
act.
It
can
be
expended
through
the
work
program,
revision
process.
A
And
I
do
not
see
any
other
questions
so
build
upon
something
within
tolls
questions.
So
if,
if
there
were
to
be
a
specific
expenditure
that
wasn't
an
already
approved
expenditure,
then
it
would
require
a
a
active
legislation,
therefore
requiring
a
session
or
a
special
session,
but
if
it
was
already
approved
expenditure-
and
it
was
just
going
to
be
modified,
it
could
be
modified
through
the
work
program
process.
Is
that
correct?
Is
that
am
I
understanding
that
correct.
K
I
I
think
the
way
to
answer
that
is
is
that
sp
459
authorizes
the
expenditure
of
the
entire
amount
and,
and
that
amount
is
in
the
budget,
account
1327
and
it
could
be
transferred
to
other
budget
accounts
through
the
work
program
revision
process.
So
the
the
the
transfer
from
the
budget
account
1327
would
have
to
be
to
an
existing
a
budget
account
a
budget
account
that
existed
in
the
state
budget.
K
But
it
would
be
a
question
of
whether
expenditures

Account.

And
do
we
have
any
other
questions
for
brian
or
mr
burnley?
Excuse
me
all
right,
I
don't
see
any
mr
burnley
thank
you
and
mr
brown
miss
brown.
Did
you
have
anything
that
you
wanted
to
add
to
that
or
about
the
mechanics.
C
Funds
there
are
some
of
the
amount
that
we
placed
in
the
reserve.
Category
was
reduced
by
the
expenditures
that
fall
under
the
revenue
loss
category,
so
that
would
be
the
positions
that
were
funded
through
the
legislative
process
that
were
held
vacant
as
a
result
of
the
pandemic
and
the
expenditures
for

the
54

dollars
for

A
I
do
not
see
any
so.
Thank
you
very
much,
and
I
really
appreciate
mr
fernley
and
director
brown.
You
walking
us
through
that
today
and
the
work
that
you've
done
to
get
to
this.
This
understanding
that
we
currently
have
with
that.
I
think
that
that
is
all
of
our
business
for
the
day,
except
for
one
issue.
I
want
to
remind
the
or
excuse
me
I
want
to
correct
something
that
that
we
said
earlier
today.
A
Earlier
today
we
were
discussing
the
the
settlement
that
the
t-mobile
settlement,
that
with
the
ag's
office
and
how
that
would
be
extended
and
that
settlement
was
as
a
result
of
a
merger
and
that
merger
is
between
t-mobile
and
sprint
and
I
think
mistakenly
ourselves,
maybe
in
our
conversations
back
and
forth
and
then
also
miss
adair
from
the
ag's
office.
We
used
att
as
as
the
the
other
party
to
that
merger
when
in
fact,
t-mobile
merged
with
sprint.
A
So
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
and
get
that
on
the
record
and
clarify
that
that
mistake
that
we
made
so
with
that
we
will
go
to
our
last
agenda
item,
and
that
is
public
comment
and
so
I'll.
Give
public
comment
I'll,
give
broadcast
services
a
minute
to
to
check
the
lines
and
see,
if
anybody's,
on
there
and
again,
as
as
with
our
original
or
earlier
public
comment,
we'll
like
to
keep
all
public
comment,
testimony
to
ten
two
minutes
per
individual
and
with
that
we
can
get
started.
