A
Thank
you
very
much
well
good
morning
again,
I'd
like
to
welcome
everybody
to
the
first
meeting
of
the
interim
committee
subcommittee
to
advise
on
the
expenditure
of
the
federal
kovac
19
relief
funding.
I
am
senator
marilyn
donderolu
representing
senate
district
8,
and
it
is
my
honor
to
be
selected
to
chair
this
subcommittee.
A
A
This
includes
economic
impact
payments,
also
known
as
stimulus
checks,
unemployment
assistance
through
various
programs,
including
federal
pandemic
unemployment,
compensation,
fpuc
and
pandemic
unemployment
assistance,
pua
and
the
paycheck
protection
program
ppp.
Another
11.7
billion
has
been
allocated
to
nevada
in
the
form
of
grants
and
to
the
state,
government
and
local
governments
of
the
state.
This
amount
includes
grants
under
coronavirus,
aid
relief
and
economic
security
cares
act
such
as
the
corona
relief
fund
crf,
as
well
as
grants
under
the
american
rescue
plan
act
such
as
the
coronavirus
state
and
local
recovery
funds.
A
When
you
put
together
this
direct
age
nevadans
and
the
various
grants
made
available
through
all
the
federal
covet
19
relief
packages,
it
adds
up
to
an
estimated
38.2
billion.
This
represents
an
unprecedented
amount
of
money
coming
in
to
our
economy,
schools,
universities,
workplaces
and
state
and
local
government
agencies.
A
This
focus
of
this,
the
focus
of
this
subcommittee,
will
be
more
about
process
and
less
about
discussions
of
how
various
grants
made
available
to
the
state
of
nevada
and
local
governments
should
be
spent.
We
will
discuss
the
various
plots
of
money
made
available
to
the
government
agencies
and
who
has
authority
to
accept
and
expend
the
money
in
each
budget.
A
To
be
sure
there
will
be
some
discussion
about
how
funding
should
be
used,
but
the
primary
focus
of
this
subcommittee
will
be
to
discuss
the
process.
Today,
we
will
hear
four
presentations.
First,
we
will
hear
from
the
national
conference
of
state
legislatures
who
will
give
us
a
national
perspective
on
the
fed
various
federal
covet
19
relief
packages.
A
What
and
about
what
the
american
rescue
plan
act.
Funding
has
been
distributed
and
and
expended
to
date,
so
we
will
start
today
with
public
comment.
This
is
the
first
period
of
public
comment
on
the
agenda.
There
will
be
another
period
of
public
comment
at
the
end
of
today's
agenda
and
because
of
time
considerations.
Each
person
offering
public
comment
will
be
limited
to
not
more
than
two
minutes
to
join
the
meeting
and
make
public
comment.
Please
follow
the
instructions
outlined
on
the
agenda
for
today's
meeting
and
bps.
G
G
H
Good
morning
my
name
is
marlene:
lockhart,
r,
l-o-c-k-a-r
r,
a
r
d
representing
seiu
1107.,
the
cova
19
pandemic,
crystallized
and
exacerbated
the
plight
of
nevada's
home
care
workers.
That
is
why
we
are
requesting
funding
from
the
american
rescue
plan
to
help
meet
the
critical
shortage
of
home
care
workers
which
threaten
nevada's,
increasing
senior
population,
people
with
disabilities
and
home
care
workers
alike.
H
Unsurprisingly,
one
in
two
home
care
workers
in
nevada
left
the
job
within
a
year
of
taking
it.
The
governor
has
outlined
the
state's
prioritization
bans
in
the
every
nevadan
recovery
framework.
Solving
the
lack
of
nevada's
home
care
workers
can
be
found
in
the
requirements
of
every
one
of
the
prior
organization.
H
Bands
basic
needs,
community
economy,
the
quality
of
life,
the
economic
impact
of
small
business
home
care
providers
who
currently
are
unable
to
meet
the
demand
for
more
workers
is
a
serious
issue.
The
quality
of
life
for
home
care
workers
must
be
improved
through
wages,
safety,
protections,
training
and
incentives,
community
support
and
the
basic
need
for
vulnerable
nevadans
access
to
health
and
safety
care
is
at
the
core
of
the
issue.
H
G
E
The
once-in-a-lifetime
federal
funds
are
an
opportunity
to
be
bold,
visionary
and
build
for
a
better
future
for
all
nevadans.
One
of
the
most
important
things
we
can
do
is
ensure
that
every
nevadan
has
a
safe
and
stable
place
to
call
home.
We
appreciate
the
work
the
state
has
done
to
pass
ab486
and
set
aside
rental
assistance,
but
too
many
nevadans
are
still
facing
eviction
and
being
displaced
by
rising
red
cross.
E
E
We
can
address
these
issues
by
using
funds
to
provide
subsidies
for
tenants
who
are
being
priced
out
of
their
homes.
We
can
increase
the
supply
of
affordable
housing
by
purchasing
unoccupied
buildings
and
implementing
a
housing
first
model
across
the
state.
We
can
create
a
civil
rights
council
program
to
ensure
that
all
tenants
have
legal
support
in
the
eviction
process,
something
the
state
of
washington
recently
passed
and
the
city
of
new
york
just
expanded.
E
Instead
of
a
hearing
master
that
fast
tracks
evictions,
we
can
increase
staffing
to
chap
and
have
a
tenant
advocate
at
the
county
to
help
navigate
the
legal
process
all
while
making
it
simpler
to
file
an
answer
across
the
strait,
there's
no
better
time
than
now
to
plan
for
our
future.
So
the
next
seven
generations
of
nevadans
have
all
they
need
to
thrive
in
dignity.
We
look
forward
to
engaging
in
the
process
with
you.
Thank
you.
G
E
Good
morning,
committee
members,
thank
you.
My
name
for
the
record
is
terry.
Laird
spelled
t
e
r
r.
I
l
a
I
r
d,
I'm
the
executive
director
of
our
pen,
the
retired
public
employees
of
nevada,
established
in
1976.
We
currently
represent
nearly
8
thousand
dues-paying
members
and
are
a
non-profit
nonpartisan
organization.
E
E
However,
we
are
asking
today
that
you
strongly
consider
the
public
employees
benefits
program
pebb
due
to
the
extensive
budget
cuts
pebb
faced
going
into
the
recent
legislative
session,
long-term
disability
was
eliminated
and
life
insurance
was
cut
yet
again
for
actives
and
retirees
among
other
cuts.
Health
care
costs
are
not
going
down,
and
these
costs
have
a
huge
impact
on
peb
participants.
E
During
a
recent
peb
board
meeting
it
was
revealed.
The
agency
expects
huge
financial
impacts
from
covet
effects
on
state
employees,
and
so
we
ask
this
committee
to
give
serious
consideration
to
pebb
when
evaluating
the
hundreds,
if
not
thousands,
of
claims
to
come
before
you
in
the
weeks
and
months
ahead.
Thank
you.
G
A
I
Great
thank
you
so
much
chair,
donderero,
loop
and
other
members
of
the
subcommittee
for
the
opportunity
to
provide
testimony
on
behalf
of
the
national
conference
at
state
legislatures,
as
mentioned.
My
name
is
emily
mayer
and
I'm
a
senior
policy
specialist
with
ncsl's
fiscal
affairs
program
in
denver.
I'm
going
to
share
my
screen
here
so
just
bear
with
me.
I
Great
and
if
there
are
any
issues
seeing
the
slides,
please
let
me
know
amanda
so
today
I'll
be
providing
an
overview
of
the
copen
19
pandemic
federal
stimulus
packages,
specifically
honing
in
on
the
recent
american
rescue
plan
act
or
arpa
coronavirus,
state
fiscal
recovery
funds.
My
comments
today
will
include
details
on
the
eligible
use
of
funds
and
the
way
states
are
allocating
funds.
I
will
also
briefly
discuss
wasted
through
managing
the
one-time
nature
of
the
funds.
I
So
the
state
budget
landscape,
surely
is
in
a
much
different
place
than
we
all
imagined
at
the
onset
of
the
pandemic
at
least
nationally
after
a
year
and
a
half,
the
federal
government
has
authorized
billions,
if
not
trillions
in
c,
aid
to
meet
immediate
and
long-term
public
health
and
economic
recovery
needs.
The
magnitude
of
the
pandemic
relief
is
historical.
There
have
been
six
different,
federally
enacted
funding
relief
bills,
the
largest
being
the
current
virus,
aid
relief
and
economic
security
act
and
the
american
rescue
plan
act.
Both
packages
gave
states
and
local
governments
flexible
aid.
I
In
total,
the
combined
amount
of
pandemic
federal
relief
is
nearly
5.2
trillion
dollars.
As
the
chair
pointed
out
in
her
opening
remarks
and
just
to
hone
in
deeper
on
the
magnitude
of
the
federal
federal
relief,
I
pulled
this
chart
from
the
center
for
a
responsible
federal
budget
comparing
the
great
recession
responses
versus
just
the
first
three
packages
to
address
covet
19..
Unfortunately,
I
was
unable
to
find
a
comparison
to
include
all
the
packages,
but,
as
you
can
imagine,
this
orange
bar
being
more
than
twice
in
its
size,
many
compare
just
a
portion
of
these
packages.
I
The
1.9
trillion
dollars
through
the
american
rescue
plan
act
of
2021
was
designated
to
provide
immediate
and
direct
relief
to
the
economic
and
health
fallout
from
the
pandemic.
Very
similar
to
the
cares
act.
This
slide
reviews
the
major
funding
buckets.
The
economic
impact
payments
were
the
largest
appropriation
in
the
bill,
followed
by
the
state
and
local
aid.
I
The
362
billion
includes
350
billion
to
of
the
state
and
local
fiscal
recovery
funds,
10
billion
towards
the
capital
projects,
funds
which
treasury
just
released
some
guidance
around
and
two
billion
dollars
for
the
local
assistance
and
tribal
consistency
fund,
and
our
focus
today
is
on
the
state
portion
of
those
fiscal
recovery
funds
and
before
we
dive
deep
into
the
new
flexible
funds,
I
think
it's
really
important
to
start
big
picture
exam,
flexible
funds
under
the
cares
and
cares,
act
and
arpa
the
cares
act.
I
Coronavirus
relief
fund
was
150
billion
dollars
to
state
local
and
tribal
governments.
The
formula
was
population
based
and
aside
from
dips
and
spikes
in
revenues,
the
first
round
of
stimulus
was
pretty
fast
and
furious
states
had
to
direct
had
to
act
quickly
to
get
those
chronovirus
refunds
out
the
door
by
the
initial
end
of
the
2020
initial
end
of
2020
deadline,
which
was
later
extended.
I
In
contrast,
the
state
and
local
fiscal
recovery
funds
are
nearly
two
and
a
half
times
as
much
as
the
crf.
The
formula
is
based
on
population
and
unemployment
rates,
which
we'll
get
to
in
a
bit
here
and
there's
a
longer
time
to
expend
recipients
have
until
2024
to
obligate
the
funds
in
2026
to
expend
broadly.
These
are
the
large
buckets
of
allowable
uses
for
both
packages.
I
I
Free
priorities
administer
the
funds
appropriately
and
effectively
and
we'll
get
to
some
of
the
planning
aspects
in
a
few
slides
that
states
have
approached
with
these
funds
and
from
the
from
that
process,
zitsa
really
learned
a
lot
and
I
think
it's
safe
to
say
all
levels
of
governments
have
I
like
to
think
of
the
distinction
between
the
cares
and
arpa
funds
as
rescue
versus
recovery.
The
state
and
local
fiscal
recovery
funds
are
generally
more
focused
on
recovery
and
revitalization.
I
I
So
shifting
our
focus
to
just
the
fiscal
recovery
funds
under
arpa,
another
significant
aspect
of
the
fiscal
recovery
funds
is
the
greater
threshold
of
population
size
for
prime
recipients
for
local
governments.
More
local
governments
are
receiving
funding,
either
directly
or
through
the
state
as
a
pass-through
entity.
Specifically
19.5
billion
dollars
was
devoted
from
arpa
separate
from
the
fiscal
recovery
funds
to
support
non-entitlement
units
of
local
governments
or
any
use
which
are
local
governments,
typically
serving
a
population
under
fifty
thousand
in
contra.
I
In
contrast
to
the
cares
act
according
to
the
national
league
of
cities,
about
thirty
percent
of
local
governments
did
not
receive
funds
under
the
corona
virus
relief
funds,
so
it
is
a
pretty
substantial
expansion
for
states.
I
This
means
there's
less
of
a
nudge
to
attribute
their
funds
to
local
government
relief,
and
it
also
you
know,
on
the
other
side
of
the
corn
coin,
it
means
a
little
less
oversight
of
how
local
governments
are
spending
their
funds,
we're
seeing
a
little
less
of
an
emphasis
on
local
government
relief
from
the
state
funding
with
the
fiscal
recovery
funds
in
comparison
to
the
coronavirus
league
funds.
As
a
result,.
I
So,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
the
formula
to
disburse
the
funds
varies
from
the
coronavirus
relief
funds.
As
noted
in
the
previous
slide,
arpa
requires
25.5
billion
dollars,
distributed
equally
to
states
in
dc
and
160
billion
dollars,
distributed
based
on
unemployment
rates,
states
that
experienced
a
net
increase
in
unemployment
rates
of
more
than
two
percentage
points
were
eligible
to
receive.
The
full
disbursement
of
their
first
tranche
19
states
and
dc
received
their
full
disbursement,
while
31
states
received
half
of
their
eligible
funds
and
in
2020
2022
will
receive
the
remaining
amount.
I
Nevada
was
one
of
the
19
states
to
receive
their
full
disbursement,
so
all
in
all,
the
combined
full
disbursement
states
and
split
states
accounted
for
approximately
154.4
billion,
initially
out
out
the
door
from
treasury.
The
remaining
approximately
40.9
billion
will
go
to
states
in
2022.
for
some
states.
This
has
affected
their
timelines
to
allocate
and
we'll
come
back
to
that
in
a
bit.
I
I
As
you
can
see,
the
amount
of
our
funds
in
comparison
to
the
size
of
their
state
budgets
ranges
pretty
drastically
in
all
states,
from
wyoming
at
nearly
23
percent
to
tennessee
at
10
percent
and
wisconsin
at
5
when
compared
to
the
size
of
other
state
budgets.
The
aid
in
nevada
received
under
arpa
was
the
third
largest
only
behind
wyoming
in
south
dakota.
I
For
example,
while
california
receives
the
most
amount
of
funding
at
over
27
billion
dollars,
their
aid
accounts
for
eight
percent
of
their
budget
on
north
dakota
is
a
state
that
received
their
full
disbursement
and
south
dakota's
split
disbursement
state
will
will
be
managing
about
1
billion
worth
or
14
to
20
percent
of
their
annual
budgets.
So
the
influx
of
funds,
while
serving
as
a
lifesaver,
is
also
challenging
in
its
own
right
to
make
decisions
and
ensure
those
funds
are
being
spent
correctly
and
effectively.
I
One
challenge.
In
particular,
I
wanted
to
pull
out
was
the
tension
between
the
legislature
and
executive
on
spending
authority.
As
we
discussed,
there
is
a
significant
amount
of
funds.
Both
the
legislative
branch
and
executive
branch
would
like
some
input
into
how
these
funds
are
spent,
and
there
has
been
questions
about
what
these
funds
are
considered.
I
Legislatures,
of
course,
have
the
authority
to
spend
anticipated
federal
funds,
but
things
get
become
a
little
bit
more
murky
when
states
get
these
unanticipated
federal
funds.
This
became
a
big
issue
under
the
cares
act,
and
we
saw
this
issue
arise
again
under
these
new
funds.
In
some
states,
the
tension
between
the
legislative
and
executive
branches
on
spending
has
subsided,
and
collaboration
has
sort
of
blossomed
and
others.
The
authority
is
clear-cut
and
the
decision
decisions
are
made
within
one
branch
or
the
other.
I
Today,
at
least
36
states
have
allocated
their
portion
of
the
chronograph
state
and
local
fiscal
recovery
funds
through
nearly
900
allocations.
We're
tracking
these
funds
in
a
database.
In
green,
our
states
have
taken
legislative
action
in
orange
executive
in
minnesota,
massachusetts
and
wyoming.
There
has
been
allocations
for
both
branches
marked
in
a
pattern
fill,
and
those
states
in
blue
are
states
that
we
are
not
aware
of
that
have
made
allocations
to
date.
I
I
I
We're
also
seeing
states
to
vote.
Excuse
me
funds
to
revenue
replacement.
This
is
another
bucket
that
we're
kind
of
tracking
it's
a
little
difficult
to
track,
based
on
some
states,
accounting
measures
but,
for
example,
alabama
just
recently
used
their
funds
as
revenue
replacement
to
build
two
prisons.
I
So
that
was
passed
last
week,
and
I
also
want
to
emphasize
that
each
state
is
catering.
Their
funds
to
the
specific
emergency
needs
within
their
state.
For
example,
alaska
created
a
fund
for
the
seafood
marketing
institute
for
trade
promotion.
Florida
devoted
funds
to
the
everglades
restoration
plan,
louisiana
created
a
lagers
relief
grant
program
for
timber
harvesting
and
timber
hauling
businesses,
and
in
maine
they
provided
support
to
an
electricity
grid
updates
for
rural
heritage
industry
projects.
I
You
can
find
more
details
on
allocations
and
program
designs
in
our
database
for
trying
to
stay
as
up
to
date
as
possible
and
I'm
more
than
happy
to
pass
along
those
details
as
well
of
the
35
states
and
the
categories
outlined
previously.
Here's
a
breakdown
of
the
number
of
states
allocating
funds
in
each
category
generally
we're
seeing
a
fairly
even
distribution
of
allocations
amongst
those
category
categories
and
of
course
we
expect
these
numbers
to
increase
as
more
allocations
occur.
States
are
not
necessarily
devoting
funds
to
every
category
nor
putting
all
their
eggs
in
one
basket.
I
It
really
varies
across
the
board
and
then
some
other
notable
allocations
include
hazard
and
premium
pay
and
allowable
use
under
treasuries
guidelines.
Funding
to
pandemic
related
positions,
for
example,
limited
time,
contract
positions
to
review
and
audit
funding
applications
or
positions
to
administer.
A
broadband
connectivity
program
supported
by
the
funds
like
they
did
in
new
hampshire
vaccine
lotteries
and
giveaways
efforts
to
address
food
banks
and
insecurity
and
relief
to
child
care,
businesses
and
support
to
families
and
workers
who
need
child
care.
I
We've
seen
and
are
expecting
legislative
allocations
to
happen
largely
under
four
phases
as
a
result
of
legislative
procedures,
spending
authority
deliver
spending
authority,
deliberations,
timing
of
treasury's
guidance
and
the
amount
of
disbursement
each
state
received
whether
it
was
that
lump
sum
or
it
split
into
two
tranches.
There
were
a
few
states
that
made
allocations
prior
to
the
interim
rule
in
mid-may
such
as
florida
and
washington,
either
in
budget
bills
or
stand-alone
supplemental
appropriations
bills.
I
Several
states
took
action
as
their
fiscal
year
wrapped
up
and
we
are
expecting
the
states
that
have
not
acted
on
those
funds
and
that
or
have
more
allocations
to
make
to
occur
in
special
sessions.
Later
this
fall
and
into
the
next
legislative
cycle,
texas
is
expected
to
go
into
a
special
session
and
georgia,
for
example,
has
committees
overseeing
the
funding
priorities
and
they'll
make
their
decisions
in
2022.
I
I
Some
of
these
strategies
include
frameworks
creating
cash
funds,
creating
bipartisan
committees
or
task
forces
geared
by
the
governor
and
establishing
criteria
around
allocations,
utah
scored
proposals
based
on
criteria
and
then
divided
their
funding
into
eight
large
buckets,
whereas
in
massachusetts
the
state
is
rolling
out
funds
in
a
three-phased
recovery
plan
and
with
all
of
these
funds
and
lessons
learned
from
the
federal
funding
during
the
great
recession,
the
avoiding
the
fiscal
cliff
has
really
been
at
the
forefront
of
lawmakers
minds.
The
tension
between
re-occurring
and
non-reoccurring
expenses
is
not
new
for
states.
I
I
We've
also
heard
some
states
working
with
local
governments
and
school
districts
to
help
them
manage
the
influx
of
funds
that
they
are
receiving,
either
through
the
fiscal
recovery
funds
or
other
buckets
within
our
bud,
and
then
we're
hearing
states
take
on
multi-year
budgeting
practices,
leveraging
funds
for
big
picture
goals,
of
course,
tied
to
the
guidance
having
flexibility
with
the
funds
and
investment
strategies
and
adjusting
for
the
influx
of
revenue
that
the
fund
funds
have
provided
to
states
and
really
thinking
beyond
arpa.
Will
he
help
states
avoid
that
cliff
in
the
long
term?.
I
So
ultimately,
it
is
an
unprecedented
amount
of
relief
with
an
opportunity
for
strategic
investment.
States
are
kind
of
rising
to
the
occasion
to
make
thoughtful
decisions,
so
their
communities
have
strong
recovery,
past
the
pandemics,
public
health
and
economic
shocks.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
opportunity
to
present
this
information
to
the
committee.
I'm
more
than
happy
to
answer
questions
I'll
do
my
best
to
get
you
answers.
A
Thank
you
so
much
that
was
really
valuable
information
and
we
appreciate
you
attending
the
meeting
today.
Members
anyone
have
questions
and
I
will
try
to
look
through
you,
I'm
going
to
start
with
assemblywoman
carlton.
Please
go
ahead.
G
Thank
you
very
much
and
good
morning,
miss
mayor.
It's
a
assemblywoman
carlton,
so
went
through
a
couple
of
those
slides
a
little
quick,
I'm
going
to
go
back
and
and
review
them
again,
but
my
biggest
question
is:
are
there
other
states
that
have
committees
such
as
this
that
are
tasked
to
advise
on
these
funds?
I
Absolutely
and
great
to
see
you
assemblywoman
carlton,
so
there
are,
I
can't
think,
of
any
specific
subcommittees,
but
there
are
committees
that
are
kind
of
tackling
this
in
their
own
right,
rhode,
island,
for
example.
Their
senate
finance
committee
has
had
some
hearings
on
the
subject
in
massachusetts.
I
There
is
a
new
actually,
not
I
guess,
as
a
committee
subcommittee
created
over
the
summer,
to
provide
some
guidance
around
these
funds
and
oversight
as
well.
At
the
executive
level-
and
I
mentioned
georgia-
georgia's
governor,
created
three
separate
committees
to
work
on
different
projects
and
they
are
kind
of
reviewing
applications
and
priorities
currently
and
they'll,
be
making
decisions
on
those
spending
decisions
in
2022.
I
So
there
are
certainly
states
that
are
taking
the
approach
of
you
know
a
subcommittee
or
some
sort
of
task,
working
or
task
force
or
working
group
to
really
make
deliberations
on
these
funds,
and
I'm
happy
to
kind
of
pull
some
more
examples
aside
from
the
ones
that
are
listed
on
slide
and
send
them
along.
G
G
Did
any
of
the
states
do
a
waterfall
type
bill
like
like
was
done
in
in
nevada
to
kind
of
give
guidance
so
that
if
it
is
a
part-time
state,
as
the
money
comes
in-
and
we
know
the
guidance
has
changed
a
lot
and
we're
trying
to
navigate
that
issue
also,
but
do
you
know
if
any
of
the
states
did
a
waterfall
type
bill
like
nevada?
Did.
G
Does
passing
a
piece
of
legislation
that
designates
how
funding
need
as
money
comes
in
how
funding
needs
to
be
spent?
I'd
like
to
thank
you,
innovative,
but
I'm
sure
somebody
else
thought
of
it
too.
I
Well,
I
am
not
aware
of
any
specific
language
within
bills
that
have
kind
of
outlined
priorities
such
as
nevada
at
the
top
of
my
head.
I'm
happy
to
do
some
more
digging,
but
I
would
say
that
the
approach
that
nevada's
taking
is
unique
and
in
the
way
that
you
are
making
decisions
and
allocating
those
funds
and
setting
priorities.
A
I
don't
think
I
see
any
all
right
well
with
no
more
questions
we
will
move
on
to
our
lcb
fiscal
staff.
Presentation
and
presenting
with
us
today
are
sarah
kaufman,
who
is
our
assembly
fiscal
analyst
and
wayne
thorley?
Who
is
our
senate
fiscal
analyst
and
ms
kaufman
and
mr
thorley
when
you're
ready?
Please
go
ahead.
J
Okay,
perfect.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
good
morning,
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record.
Sarah
kaufman
legislative
council
bureau
fiscal
analysis
division
today,
mr
thorley
and
I
have
been
asked
to
provide
the
subcommittee
with
a
summary
of
the
state
budget
act
which
can
be
found
under
title
31,
chapter
353
of
the
nevada,
revised
statutes,
and
this
pertains
to
the
state
financial
administration.
J
J
J
The
state
budget
act
creates
the
economic
forum
and
defines
the
duties
of
the
economic
forum
and
just
for
a
refresher,
the
economic
forum
is
a
committee
which
is
made
up
of
five
non-legislative
professionals
who
are
responsible
for
forecasting
the
state's
major
general
fund
revenues.
J
J
The
state
budget
act
also
contains
other
sections
which
are
within
three
the
nrs
chapter
353,
and
that
is
the
established
duties
of
the
state
board
of
examiners.
It
details
how
claims
and
refunds
must
be
processed.
It
defines
the
accounting
procedures
that
must
be
followed.
J
It
also
creates
various
accounts,
including
the
emergency
account,
the
contingency
account
the
disaster
relief
account
and
the
account
to
stabilize
the
operation
of
state
government,
which
is
also
known
as
the
rainy
day
account
chapter.
353
explains
the
process
for
receipt
of
gifts
and
grants.
It
establishes
debt
collection
procedures.
It
also
covers
the
topics
related
to
financial
administration
of
the
state.
J
Before
the
end
of
each
regular
legislative
session,
the
legislature
adopts
several
bills
that
allow
the
funding
and
operation
of
state
government
for
the
upcoming
biennium
and
together.
These
bills
are
unofficially
referred
to
as
the
money
bills.
They
include
the
appropriations
act,
which
makes
appropriations
from
the
state
general
fund
to
support
the
operation
of
state
government.
J
The
authorizations
act,
which
authorizes
expenditures
by
state
agencies
of
funds
other
than
appropriations
from
the
state
general
fund,
the
k-12
education
funding
bill,
which
provides
funding
for
k-12
public
education
for
upcoming
biennium.
The
pay
bill,
which
provides
compensation
for
state
employees.
J
Moving
on
to
the
next
slide
discusses
nrs
353
215,
which
is
work,
programs,
establishment,
based
on
the
appropriation
of
general
funds
and
the
authorizations
to
expend
other
funds,
as
provided
for
the
money
bills.
The
budget
division
of
the
office
of
finance
is
required
to
establish
a
work
program
for
each
department,
institution
and
agency
of
the
executive
branch
of
state
government.
Each
work
program
includes
all
general
fund
appropriations
or
other
funds
from
any
source
made
available
to
the
department,
institution
or
agency
for
its
operation
and
maintenance
and
for
the
acquisition
of
property.
J
All
expenditures
made
by
state
agencies
from
general
fund
appropriations
or
other
funds
from
any
source
must
be
made
in
accordance
with
the
agency's
established
work
program.
Essentially,
a
work
program
establishes
revenue,
collection,
authority
and
expenditure
authority
for
each
state
agency
for
a
given
fiscal
year.
J
J
During
a
fiscal
year,
any
state
agency
can
request
a
revision
to
its
work
program
by
submitting
a
work
program.
Revision
request
to
the
governor
through
the
chief
of
the
budget
division,
every
work
program,
revision
request
must
be
approved
by
the
governor
or
the
chief
of
the
budget
division.
If
the
governor
is
delegate
if
the
governor
delegates,
the
authority
to
the
chief,
in
other
words,
the
ifc,
doesn't
have
the
authority
to
consider
a
work
program
revision
unless
it
has
already
been
approved
by
the
governor
for
the
chief
of
the
budget
division.
J
J
J
If
a
revision
is
required
because
of
an
emergency
or
for
the
protection
of
life
and
property,
the
governor
shall
approve
the
revision
request
and
report
the
action,
along
with
the
reason
emergency
action
was
necessary
to
the
interim
finance
committee.
The
second
type
is
a
15-day
work
program
or
what
we
sometimes
call
a
15-day
expeditious.
J
If
the
governor
determines
a
revision
requires
expeditious
action,
the
governor
may
notify
ifc
of
this
determination.
If
the
ifc,
then
the
ifc
then
has
15
days
to
consider
the
revision
request.
Any
expeditious
action
revision
request
not
considered
by
the
ifc
within
15
days,
is
deemed
to
be
approved.
J
These
requests
are
essentially
for
any
revision
requests
that
do
not
qualify
as
an
emergency
or
a
15-day
work
program,
and
it
must
be
submitted
to
the
ifc.
The
isc
then
has
45
days
to
consider
the
revision
request
and
any
revision
request
not
considered
by
the
ifc
within
45
days
within
the
45
day
period
is
deemed
approved.
J
Enacting
upon
the
proposed
work
program
revisions,
the
ifc
shall
consider,
among
other
things,
the
need
for
the
proposed
revision,
the
intent
of
the
legislature
and
approving
the
budget
for
the
fiscal
year
and
originally
enacting
the
statute.
The
statutes
which
the
work
program
is
designated
to
actuate.
J
J
Then
the
process
would
be
to
bring
forward
this
to
the
ifc
and
the
acceptance
of
gifts
and
grants
similar
to
work
programs
that
are
provided
under
nrs35220
and
so
you'll
see
on
the
next
slide.
There's
language,
that's
very
similar
to
nrs353
320.
J
So
with
that
now
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
mr
thorley
and
he
is
going
to
discuss
with
you
the
practical
nature
of
the
state
budget
act.
B
B
So
when,
when
an
unanticipated
or
unbudgeted
federal
grant
becomes
available,
such
as
coronavirus
relief
funds
under
the
cares
act,
then
the
requirements
to
chapter
353
must
be
followed
so
generally,
when
ifc
approval
is
required
under
nrs
353.220,
which
is
the
work
program,
revision
statute
and
also
nrs
353.335,
which
is
the
acceptance
of
gifts
and
grant
statutes.
B
So,
though,
you'll
often
see
on
an
ifc
agenda,
a
work
program
revision
request
to
not
only
revise
the
agency's
work
program,
though
so
to
add
expenditure
authority
related
to
a
grant,
but
also
to
bring
in
new
grant
funding
grant
funding
that
was
not
provided
for
in
the
authorizations
act.
A
recent
example
that
occurred
at
the
last
ifc
meeting
in
august
is
the
division
of
welfare
and
supportive
services
at
the
child
assistance
and
development
program.
B
They
submitted
a
work
program,
revision
request
to
revise
the
work
program
to
add
a
grant
revenue
authority
of
222.4
million
dollars,
but
also
to
accept
that
grant
revenue.
Also.
So
approval
was
provided
by
the
interim
finance
committee.
This
was
american
rescue
plan.
Child
stabilization
grant
funding
that
the
agency
plans
on
making
available
to
child
care
providers
throughout
the
state,
so
that
authority
was
given
by
the
the
ifc
under
the
45-day
work
program.
Revision
process,
which
is
nrs353.222.
I
B
Are
budget
accounts
within
the
state
budget
that
are
known
as
non-executive
budgets
and
these
budgets
are
exempt
from
the
provisions
of
the
state
budget
act,
particularly
in
in
for
this
example,
nrs353
220,
which
is
the
work
program,
revision
statute,
but
non-executive
budgets
are
not
exempt
from
the
provisions
of
nrs
353
335,
which
covers
the
acceptance
of
gifts
and
grants.
B
So
a
recent
example
of
that
is
last
year
last
spring,
when
congress
passed
the
cares
act
and
made
836.1
million
dollars
in
chronovis
relief
funds
available
to
the
state
of
nevada.
Acceptance
of
that
grant.
Funding
was
approved
by
the
governor
under
353
335
sub
2
sub,
a
that
is
the
statute
that
governs
emergency
acceptance
of
gifts
and
grants.
B
So,
while
the
if
ifc
did
not,
since
it
was
the
governor
determined
that
emergency
existed,
the
ifc
did
not
vote
on
that.
It
was
transmitted
to
the
ifc
as
an
informational
item
last
spring
and
the
reason
for
which
the
governor
determined
that
emergency
existed
and
that
the
grant
that
the
grant
needed
to
be
accepted
was
also
presented
to
the
ifc.
B
Some
significant
buckets
of
this
total
include
the
2.7
billion
dollars,
the
state
of
nevada
received
in
corona
virus
state
fiscal
recovery
funds,
also
3.9
billion
dollars
in
economic
impact,
payments
or
stimulus
checks
and
1.1
billion
dollars
in
elementary
and
secondary
school,
secondary
school
emergency
relief
or
asser
funds.
B
This
10.5
billion
total
also
includes
just
over
a
billion
dollars
in
coronavirus,
local
fiscal
recovery
funds,
which
are
available
to
local
governments
in
nevada.
B
Grant
funds
under
the
american
rescue
plan
act.
So
not
talking
about
the
the
stimulus
checks
but
actual
grant
funding
can
be
divided
into
two
main
buckets:
the
coronavirus
state
fiscal
recovery
funds,
so
this
is
direct
aid
to
the
state
and
then
program-specific
grant
funds.
These
are
grants
that
are
available
to
certain
state
agencies
for
specific
purposes
purposes
such
as
the
esser
grant,
and
I
know
that
the
treasurer
later
today,
when
he
gives
this
presentation
we'll
we'll
delve
into
some
of
these
different
buckets
of
money
a
little
bit
more.
B
B
B
The
entire
amount
of
this
coronavir
state
fiscal
recovery
fund
was
placed
in
a
non-executive
budget
account.
This
is
a
non-executive
budget.
Account
that
had
been
previously
established
the
year
prior
to
bring
in
cares
act
money,
no
spending
of
the
2.7
billion
occurred
in
in
fy
21.
Of
course,
this
happened
right
at
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year,
so
the
entire
amount
was
balanced
forward
into
the
current
fiscal
year
fiscal
year.
B
22.,
when
the
money
committees
closed
the
legislative
approved
budgets
for
the
current
biennium,
the
2021-23
biennium,
the
money
committees
voted
to
make
this
non-executive
budget
account
which
had
previously
been
established
to
account
for
cares,
act
money.
They
voted
to
make
it
an
executive
budget
and
rename
it
the
copa.
19
relief
funding
budget
account
budget
account
1327
in
the
state
accounting
system
and
by
by
taking
that
action.
The
money
committee's
ensured
that
this
budget
account
is
now
subject
to
the
provisions
of
the
state
budget
act.
B
So
the
various
statutes
that
ms
kaufman
went
over
senate
bill
459
from
the
last
legislative
session,
which
was
the
authorizations
act
included
authority
in
fy
22
to
establish
a
work
program
for
this
cova
19
funding
relief
budget
and
placed
the
entire
2.7
billion
dollars
in
coronavir
state
fiscal
recovery
funds
in
a
reserve
category
in
the
work
program.
B
B
The
legislature
did
pass
certain
pieces
of
legislation
last
session
that
allowed
for
state
agencies,
gay
state
agencies,
authorization
to
expend
federal
american
rescue
plan,
act,
funding
for
certain
purposes
and
one
example
is
assembly,
bill
484,
which
requires
the
disbursement
of
54
million
dollars
in
american
rescue
plan,
act,
funding
to
the
department
of
employment,
training
and
rehabilitation
for
upgrading
the
employment
compensation
information
system.
For
so
for
it
upgrades
for
dieter.
B
I
will
note
that
some
some
legislation
that
the
legislature
passed
last
session,
while
explicitly
authorizing
american
rescue
plan,
act
funding
expenditures
by
certain
agencies.
It
the
legislation,
did
include
language.
That
said,
the
requests
still
need
to
go
through
the
provisions
of
the
state
budget
act.
So
some
of
these
you
you'll,
have
you'll,
have
seen
some
work
program.
Revisions
come
through
prior
ifc's,
ifc
meetings,
four
actions
that
the
legislature
already
took,
but
the
legislation
did
require
the
executive
branch
to
still
follow
the
word
program
revision
process.
B
So
in
some
cases
the
legislation
just
said:
hey,
you
have
authority
to
do
this,
so
the
didn't
need
to
go
through
the
state
budget
act
process
in
other
cases,
while
the
legislation
authorized
authority,
it
still
said
you
must
go
through
the
state
budget
act
and
so
those
go
through
the
work
program,
revision
and
ifc
process.
B
B
Those
13
work
program,
region
requests,
totaled
287.5,
that
should
be
million;
I'm
sorry,
that's
not
billion
typo
in
the
slide
in
american
rescue
plan
act,
funds
and
director
brown.
I
know
in
her
presentation
later
today
we'll
we'll
get
into
additional
work
program.
Revision
requests
that
have
been
submitted.
I
just
wanted
to
you
know,
give
the
committee
just
an
overview
of
what
they've
seen
already
these
13
work
program
vision,
requests
from
august
august
ifc.
B
They
did
not
include
any
any
of
the
2.7
billion
dollars
in
coronary
state
fiscal
recovery
funds.
There.
B
Work
program
revisions
submitted
to
expend
money
out
of
that
bucket,
but
this
13
that
I'm
discussing
was,
from
the
other
bucket
the
non-coronavir
state
fiscal
recovery
funds
bucket
and
for
the
upcoming
ifc
on
october
21st.
The
governor's
finance
office
has
submitted
several
additional
work
program.
Revision
requests
under
the
45
day
work
program,
revision
process
relating
to
american
rescue
plan,
act
funding,
so
those
work
program,
revision,
requests
for
american
rescue
planet
funding
are
still
coming.
B
The
expenditure
of
corona
by
state
fiscal
recovery
funds
that
are
currently
sitting
in
reserves
can
occur
either
through
the
work
program
revision
process.
So
the
governor
or
an
executive
branch
agency
can
submit
a
request
to
the
governor
to
revise
their
work
program
to
move
this
money
out
of
reserves
to
an
expenditure
category
and
then
that
could
go
to
ifc
for
approval
or
the
legislature.
B
Session,
if
authorized
by
the
proclamation
could
adopt
legislation
to
authorize
the
expenditure
of
corona
state
fiscal
recovery
funds
so
similar
legislation
that
was
passed
last
session,
the
legislature
could
pass
additional
legislation
during
a
future
legislative
session.
B
As
american
rescue
plan
at
grant,
funding
continues
to
be
made
available
by
the
federal
government
work
program.
Revision
requests
will
continue
to
be
submitted
to
ifc
following
the
work
program,
revision
process
and
there's
nrs
353.220.
B
Lastly,
I
just
wanted
to
briefly
discuss
the
the
limits
of
the
authority
of
the
legislative
executive
branch
governments
when
it
comes
to
the
authorization
and
expenditure
of
some
of
the
funding.
That's
made
available
to
local
governments
and
school
districts
under
the
american
rescue
plan
act.
B
So,
as
I
mentioned
previously,
local
governments
in
nevada
have
been
awarded
just
over
a
billion
dollars
in
coronavirus,
local
fiscal
recovery
funds
under
the
american
rescue
plan
act
also
under
esser
there's
been
three
rounds
of
esr
now
they're
under
the
cares
act,
the
consolidated
appropriations
act
and
the
american
rescue
plan
act
have
all
allocated
esser
funds
to
the
state
of
nevada
total
that
adds
up
to
1.7
billion
dollars.
B
B
The
state
government
does
not
have
authority
over
coronavirus,
local
fiscal
recovery
funds,
so
these
are
the
dollars
going
to
the
counties
and
city
governments
in
the
state.
Nor
do
they
have
authority
over
the
90
of
esser
funding
that
goes
directly
to
local
school
districts
and
charter
schools.
That
simply
has
to
be
made
available
by
the
state
department
of
education,
which
is
a
state
educational
agency
as
a
subgrant
to
the
school
districts
and
charter
schools.
B
A
A
I
really
appreciate
the
the
depth
and
the
expertise
that
you
presented
us
any
questions
senator
brooks.
C
Thank
you,
chair
dondero
loop,
and
this
is
a
question
to
for
mr
thorley
or
ms
kaufman
on
the
monies
that
are
currently
in
the
reserve
category
and
in
the
reserve.
Account
are
those
subject
to.
C
Spending
by
20
and
what
was
it
202
six
and
then
having
to
allocate
them
by
2024.
B
Senator
brooks
wayne
thorley
for
the
record.
That's
that's
correct,
so
the
the
money
that's
in
that
reserve
category
in
budget
account.
1327
is
coronavirus,
state
fiscal
recovery
funds
and
that
funding
is
subject
to
commitment
for
expenditure
by
december,
the
end
of
december
2024
and
then
actually
fully
spent
by
2027
to
2026.
C
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation.
This
is
incredibly
helpful.
It
distills
everything
all
the
questions
we've
been
asking
for
the
last
couple
of
years
down
into
a
couple
of
slides
and
it's
easy
to
digest,
really
appreciate
it.
A
Okay,
all
right,
thank
you
any
additional
questions
from
the
committee
and,
if
I'm
not
seeing
you
just
unmute
and
speak
up.
C
Thank
you
to
follow
up
on
senator
brooks's
question.
Do
those
same
timelines
apply
to
the
revenue
offset
funds
that
are
now
in
our
state
general
fund.
B
Wayne
thorley
for
the
record
senator
keith
keffer.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
The
revenue
or
coronavirus.
The
funding
that
was
designated
as
lost
revenue
came
from
the
coronavirus
state
fiscal
recovery
fund.
So,
yes,
it
is
subject
to
these
same
expenditure,
deadlines
as
all
other
money
coming
from
the
crota
virus.
State
fiscal
recovery
fund.
C
B
L
Yes,
thank
you.
This
is
brian
fernley.
I
love
city
council.
I
apologize
my
video
is
not
working
today,
but
the
audio
is
working.
The
short
answer
to
that
question
is
no.
That
would
not
require
full
action
by
the
by
the
legislature.
L
The
authorizations
act
that
was
passed
in
at
sb
459
from
the
2021
session
authorized
the
expenditure
of
two
point:
roughly
2.8
billion
dollars
in
covert
relief
funds,
so
that
is
the
legislative
authorization
sd
459
from
the
2021
session.
That
is
the
legislative
authorization
to
spend
that
money.
L
The
money
currently
is
in
the
expenditure
of
that
money
would
require
work
program
revisions
to
be
submitted
to
the
ifc.
So
a
subsequent
action
by
the
legislature
is
not
needed
to
spend
that
money,
because
sd
459
already
authorized
the
expenditure
of.
C
That's
a
is
that
a
different
interpretation,
mr
firmly
than
we
heard
earlier
in
the
summer.
L
I
don't
believe
so.
I
I
wasn't
aware
of
the
interpretation
earlier
in
the
summer.
The,
but
it
is
sb
459,
has
the
authorization
to
spend
2.8
billion
dollars
in
in
coronavirus
relief
funds.
Certainly
the
legislature,
could
you
know
a
special
session
or
a
regular
session
could
take
action
to
to
further
spend
that
money,
but
a
another
action
by
the
full
legislature
would
not
be
required
because
of
that
authorization
to
spend
2.8
billion
in
sb
459.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Assemblywoman
tools.
M
Yes,
thank
you
so
much
chair
and
I
I
had
a
similar
question
because
it
was
my
understanding
that
in
looking
at
the
u.s
treasury
faqs
that
document-
I
think
it's
about
46
pages
or
so
it
talks
about.
One
of
the
allocations
is
to
be
able
to
recuperate
the
lost
revenue
and
that,
as
I
understood
it
from
sb
459
was
you
know
we
allocated
prioritizing
to
certain
pots,
but
that
and
maybe
I'm
wrong.
M
L
Yes,
absolutely
we
are
working
on
a
written,
a
document
that
lays
out
exactly
what
the
authority
of
the
legislature
and
the
ifc
and
the
governors
with
respect
to
this
money
and
that,
yes,
we
will
provide
that.
M
Thank
you
that
would
that
would
just
be
so
helpful.
I
think
it's
it's
just
important
that
we're
all
officially
on
the
same
page
on
that
and
then
madam
chair,
if
I
could
just
ask
a
follow-up
question,
procedurally,
please
go
ahead.
Thank
you.
So
I
know
that
we
allocated
certain
dollars,
for
example,
in
the
legislative
session
for
use
of
learning,
loss
programs,
for
example,
and
I'm
just
wondering
when
we
can
start
to
allocate
those
it's
my
understanding.
We
haven't
allocated
those
specific
funds.
M
J
And
chair
for
the
record,
this
is
sarah
kaufman
yeah,
so
any
any
legislation
that
was
provided
for
or
was
approved
by
the
legislature.
That
did
not
require
the
further
consideration
by
the
interim
finance
committee
and
move
forward.
So
there
are
areas
where
some
bill
461
had
some
direct
allocations.
J
I
think
ms
brown
will
be
talking
about
some
of
those
in
a
follow-up
agenda
item.
I
believe
item
g
she'll
she'll
be
talking
about
some
of
the
distribution
expenditures,
and
so
yes,
those
are
currently
in
the
works.
I
believe
right
now.
The
unemployment
insurance
loans
have
already
been
paid
off,
and
so
that's
just
an
example
of
one
of
the
the
items
that
was
already
provided
for
that
has
moved
forward.
A
You
very
much
and
I
believe
that
majority
leader
cannizzaro,
has
a
question.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
also
thank
you,
sarah
and
wayne
for.
M
A
really
excellent
presentation
that
I
think
made
it
very
easy
for
all
of
us
to
kind
of
follow
and.
D
Just
really
well
done.
I
just
had
a
quick
question
of
the.
C
State
funds
that
we
have
that
have
come
to
us.
How
much
of
that
is
not
has
not.
D
Currently
already
been
allocated
and
accounted
for,
do
we
know
how
much.
M
D
B
Senator
canizarro
wayne
thorley
for
the
record,
are
you
talking
about
the
coronavir
state
fiscal
recovery
funds
at
the
2.7
billion
dollars?
Yes,.
B
No
no
problem:
I
can
give
you
a
rough
estimate
so
of
the
2.7
billion
dollars.
Approximately
a
billion
dollars
was
identified
as
lost
revenue.
B
Another
700
to
800
million
dollars
was
authorized
for
expenditure
through
various
pieces
of
legislation
past
the
last
legislative
session
or
through
the
work
program,
revision
process
that
leaves
roughly
900
million
to
about
a
billion
dollars
of
coronavirus,
state
fiscal
recovery
funds
that
haven't
been
identified
as
either
lost
revenue
or
for
expenditure
for
authorized
purposes.
D
Great
thank
you
and
thank
you,
madam
chair.
A
Thank
you
very
much
any
additional
questions
from
anyone.
G
C
This
is
senator
keffer.
A
Oh
sorry,
I
if
you
have
a
follow-up.
Yes,
please
go
ahead.
I
could
not
see
your
picture.
I
could
only
hear
a
voice
so.
C
Please
go
ahead.
Thank
you.
I
wanted
to
sort
of
follow
up
on
the
issue
of
how
mechanically
we
would
allocate
funds
that
are
currently
sitting
in
our
general
fund.
If
work
programs
are
to
augment
existing
budget
items,
how
do
we
then
transfer
money
out
of
our
general
fund
to
do
something
that
isn't
augmenting
the
an
existing
line
item?
C
B
L
Yes,
I
can
answer
that
so
going
back
to
sp
459,
it
does
say
that
there
that
you
know
it
does
authorize
the
expenditure
of
approximately
2.8
billion
dollars
and
that
it
does
say
that
it
is
authorizing
the
expenditure
of
sums
not
appropriated.
L
C
A
Thank
you
very
much.
I
believe
assemblywoman
carlton
has
a
question.
G
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
chair
senator
kitkefer
addressed
it
briefly,
so
I
I
think
that
probably
answers
my
question.
Thank
you
very
much,
but
if
I
could
one
one
last
thing
so
go
ahead
in
the
conversations
earlier
about
the
being
able
to
the
emergency
provisions,
which
you
know,
we've
not
used
very
often,
but
sometimes
we
do
so.
I
want
to
give
an
example
and
get
an
answer
on
whether
this
that
would
be
acceptable
or
not.
G
So
let's
say
we
have
a
mental
health
crisis
in
southern
nevada
and
we
don't
have
enough
beds
or
we
have
beds,
but
not
enough
professionals,
and
we
need
to
do
something
about
that.
In
an
emergency
situation
the
governor
would
be
able
to
and
his
and
the
gfo
would
be
able
to
propose
a
work
program
to
the
legislature
through
the
emergency
section
to
be
able
to
deal
with
certain
things.
So
if
we
did
have
emergencies
in
the
future,
public
health,
public
safety,
whatever
those
could
be
declared
an
emergency
and
then
those
dollars
could
be
used.
J
Madam
chair,
through
you
to
assembly,
and
yes
that
is
correct.
If
these
funds
are
provided
for
in
an
operating
budget,
the
the
governor's
finance
office
through
an
emergency
appropriation
could
or
excuse
me.
Emergency
allocation
of
this
funding
can
be,
can
use
that
funding
and
then
report
to
the
ifc
at
its
next
meeting
the
actions
that
were
taken
and
why
it
was
determined
to
be
an
emergency.
G
G
But
I'm
now
hearing
from
the
department
of
labor
that
there
might
be
another-
our
wonderful
word
tranche
now
another
tranche
of
money
to
deal
with
that
miss
kaufman,
mr
thurley.
So
if
another
funding
stream
becomes
available
to
fund
that,
would
it
be
possible
for
the
legislature
to
use
the
term
that
I've
learned
from
you
all
change
the
color
of
that
money,
pull
back
the
those
other
dollars
that
we
spent
use,
that
designated
tranche
to
do
it
and
then
there
or
open
up
the
use
of
those
dollars
to
possibly
go
to
another
need
in
this
state.
J
So
the
one
example
I
can
think
of
in
terms
of
being
able
to
do
that
is
the
tobacco
settlement
fund.
So,
during
during
the
interim
tobacco
settlement,
funds
can't
be
appropriated
directly
from
the
fund.
However,
if
there
is
a
savings
associated
with
that
in
a
specific
budget,
then
those
can
offset
something
that
might
be
related
to
tobacco
settlement
on
eligible
use,
and
so
those
are
some
instances
that
I've
seen
where
funds
that
maybe
weren't
directly
allocated
for
that
purpose
were
then
used
and
because
of
a
savings
am
I
am.
G
If
that's
not
something
we
can
answer
today,
I
think
it
is
something
that
we're
going
to
want
to
get
a
handle
on,
because
I
think
there's
going
to
be
more
changes
and
more
dollars.
There's
different
funding
streams
out
there,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
if
we
need
to
do
a
a
switch
that
that
would
that
would
be
possible
and
I
can
pose
the
question
to
miss
brown,
also
or
mrs
mullen
camp
later
on
or
have
legal
look
into
it
as
we
move
forward.
G
A
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
for
your
questions.
Any
additional
questions
from
the
committee.
A
I
don't
believe
I
see
any
so
with
that.
Thank
you,
mr
thorley,
and
miss
kaufman.
If
we
have
additional
questions,
I'm
sure
we
know
where
to
get
a
hold
of
you.
So
thank
you
very
much
and
with
that
I
think
that
we
will
move
on
to
the
next
agenda
item,
which
is
the
treasurer's
office,
and
we
are
honored
to
have
with
us
today.
N
Good
morning,
chair
and
members
of
the
committee
confirming
you
can
all
hear
me
right,
I
think
some
nods
okay,
perfect.
Thank
you.
I'm
gonna
ask
kirsten
van
ray
my
chief
of
staff
to
put
up
the
deck.
N
Perfect
thanks
so
much
so
we're
here
today
and
we're
leading
out
in
front
of
gfo,
so
we
can
tell
you
what's
coming
in
and
gfo
can
tell
you
what
has
already
been
done.
I
want
to
thank
wayne
and
sarah
for
setting
us
up
so
nicely
on
some
of
these
buckets.
I
really
appreciate
it
also.
N
I
expect
between
our
team
and
your
fiscal
team
and
gfo
that
no
state
employees
have
ever
said
the
word
buckets
as
many
times
as
we
have
over
the
last
six
months
slide,
please
so
arpa,
just
from
a
real
quick
background.
We
won't
spend
too
much
time
here.
N
The
american
rescue
plan
act
was
signed
by
the
president
on
march
11th
hr
1319
included
nearly
two
trillion
dollars
in
national
aid
through
hundreds
of
separate
programs
and
initiatives
and
to
assemblywoman
carlton's
point
all
of
those
different
programs
and
understanding
where
they
go
and
what
they
do
is
a
big
piece
of
the
work
that
we
have
in
front
of
us.
N
The
aid
comes
in
a
number
of
different
ways,
and
wayne
spoke
about
this
briefly,
but
just
to
give
a
little
bit
more
in
detail.
There's
four
types
of
aid.
As
we
think
about
it,
one
is
direct
aid:
that's
funding
flowing
directly
to
nevadans
the
stimulus
payments,
the
additional
payments
that
went
out
through
the
federal
pandemic,
unemployment,
compensation
or
f
that
additional
300
a
week,
the
child
tax
credit
dollars
that
went
down
to
buy
down
the
exchange
premiums
and
the
rest.
N
Those
are
dollars
that
the
state
didn't
have
any
control
of,
but
they
did
go
to
benefit
nevada.
As
I
specifically
point
out
the
child
tax
credit
single-handedly
lifting
tens
of
thousands
of
nevada
families
out
of
poverty,
then
we
have
non-discretionary
quasi-discretionary
and
discretionary
aid,
and
this
speaks
to
how
much
control
the
state
has
at
any
level
legislatively
or
or
through
programmatic
or
through
in
the
case
of
s
or
grids,
what
the
the
education
districts
school
districts
can
do.
N
With
these
monies
non-discretionary
is
funding
to
existing
and
new
programs
where
we
have
almost
no
control
over
it.
These
are
plus
ups
things
like
the
additional
money
that
went
into
the
wic
program.
We
can,
I
suppose,
choose
not
to
take
it,
but
we
can't
choose
how
it
gets
spent
quasi
discretionary
aid
is
funding
to
exist
in
your
new
programs,
where
we
have
some
level
of
control
in
those
funds.
N
Best
example,
I
can
give
here
is
rental
assistance,
so
we
had
to
use
the
rental
assistance
dollars
that
came
in
through
the
arp
act,
with
what
is
called
era
2
or
emergency
rental
assistance
2
for
rental
assistance.
But
we
had
some
choices.
We
could
choose
whether
or
not
it
went
directly
to
the
tenants
or
the
landlords.
We
could
choose
how
much
time
the
process
took
before
we
had
to
move
on
to
other
backup
processes.
N
These
are
funding
fundings
where
the
legislature
and
the
governor
have
a
massive
amount
of
control
again
within
guidance,
which
is
a
fair
amount
of
guidance
slide
please,
as
of
today-
and
I
say
as
of
today,
because
this
number
would
have
been
different
last
week-
it
would
have
been
different.
The
week
before
we
have
106
known
buckets
of
funding
to
the
state
of
nevada.
Again
it
doesn't
include
those
direct
payments
like
the
stimulus
payments
or
fpoc,
or
the
money
that
is
coming
into
the
child
tax
care
credit.
N
These
are
individual
programs
that
exist
at
a
different
agency,
some
at
the
same
agency
at
the
federal
level
and
will
be
handled
differently
at
the
state
of
nevada
level.
After
they're
accepted
we
have
72
of
those
buckets.
We
know
how
much
the
state
allocation
amount
is
34
of
those
buckets.
We
don't.
We
don't
have
any
guidance,
we
don't
have
any
money,
but
we
know
that
it's
listed
within
the
bill
as
receiving
additional
funds
functionally,
and
you
know
how
large
your
state
government
is.
N
We
are
relying
on
ffis,
as
we
mentioned,
the
federal
funds
information
for
states
to
provide
us
a
little
bit
of
details
about
the
dollars
that
are
expected
to
date.
They've
been
right
across
the
board.
Obviously
they
make
adjustments
along
the
way,
but
we
don't
have
the
resources
to
go
into
those
additional
34
buckets
and
calculate
what
we
expect.
The
funds
will
be
mechanically.
N
They
started
with
some
of
the
largest
ones
and
moved
down,
so
we
expect
those
34
buckets
while
providing
millions
of
dollars
to
the
state
probably
won't
provide
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
to
the
state.
N
Categories
of
aid
we'll
go
through
these
a
little
more
in
depth,
but
there
are
12
categories
made
now.
These
are
categories
that
we
have
created
internally
within
the
treasury,
in
the
governor's
finance
office,
the
governor's
office,
to
think
through
the
types
of
funding
that
are
coming
in,
but
there
are
obviously
overlap.
There
are
dollars
within
healthcare
that
are
healthcare
for
educational
facilities,
etc.
Right,
so
these
are
internal
buckets
to
help
us
get
our
handle
around
it
and
those
helped
us
create
this
next
slide,
which
is
nevada's
share
of
known
funding.
N
So
we
already
talked
about
the
state
general
aid
that
2.73837
228
spot
70.,
that's
the
green
bucket
at
the
bottom.
The
2.7
that
we
speak
to
the
blue
bucket
at
the
nine
o'clock
region
is
the
local
general
aide.
That's
at
1.04
and
we've
got
a
breakdown.
We
can
certainly
talk
through
it,
but
as
wayne
and
sarah
mentioned
that
money
is
primarily
charged,
so
all
of
the
states
received
or
all
the
local
governments
received,
half
of
their
money.
Most
of
that
money
flowed
directly
into
the
local
governments,
counties
and
states.
A
N
Control
over
that
75
million,
there
was
just
a
mechanical
process
to
make
sure
it
got
out
the
door
and
gfo
could
certainly
speak
a
little
bit
more
towards
that
and
the
rest
of
the
buckets
you
can
see
along
with
top,
and
so
when
we're
talking
about
so
that
that
last
number,
the
total
number
is
6
billion,
696
million
and
twenty
nine
thousand
five
hundred
six
dollars
in
39
cents.
N
I
do
apologize
to
some
of
them,
carlton
that
was
88
cents
for
a
long
time,
but
there
was
an
adjustment
in
it,
so
the
little
change
there.
I
know
you've
been
watching
that
part
of
it
the
so
you
can
see
some
of
the
different
buckets
and
we'll
talk
about
those,
and
that's
why
you
know
when
we
talk
about
the
money
coming
in
the
state.
We
do
talk
about
holistic,
not
because
the
state
has
direct
control
over
the
education
dollars.
We
don't.
N
We
want
to
make
sure
that
the
state,
for
instance,
isn't
spending
the
same
dollars
to
fix
the
problem,
that
a
local
government
is
spending
that
if
local
governments
and
five
local
governments
are
doing
the
exact
same
thing,
we
want
to
encourage
some
coordination
there
and
avoid
something
that
happened
during
the
coronavirus
relief
fund
process,
the
crf
process,
which
is
duplication
of
efforts.
Right
where
you
know,
I
think
there
were
seven
or
eight
small
business
aid
programs,
a
lot
of
which
were
contradictory
right.
They
had
different
timelines.
N
1.04
for
local
sorry,
the
interim
final
rule
was
published
originally
in
may,
along
with
42
pages
of
faqs.
Those
faqs
have
been
amended
about
13
times,
since
they
were
released
on
may
17th,
and
the
interim
final
rule,
of
course,
is
the
interim
final
rule
was
still
waiting
on
the
final
one
to
ncl's
point
early
on.
N
We
don't
expect
significant
changes
and
there
is
a
level
of
protection
if
you
make
a
decision,
if
a
spending
decision
is
made
under
the
interim
final
rule
and
then
that
final
little
changes
into
the
final
final
rule,
as
long
as
you
are
within
the
guidance
at
the
time
that
the
decision
is
made,
you
are
eligible
and
that's
from
both
the
treasury
in
the
white
house,
basically
to
encourage
removal
of
some
of
the
fear
that
was
present.
N
There
are
four
allowable
uses
under
the
guidance.
The
first
three
are
for
that
entire
2.7
or
the
1.04
public
health
and
economic
impacts,
obviously
very
broad
right
in
what
could
be
public
health,
what
the
economic
impacts
premium
pay,
so
the
providing
of
premium
pay
for
employees,
perhaps
in
hazardous
conditions
or
for
any
other
reason,
investments
in
infrastructure,
primarily
in
the
guidance
it
speaks
to
broadband
wastewater
and
clean
water
infrastructure.
N
There,
of
course,
is
a
separate
infrastructure
package
working
its
way
through
washington
right
now,
which
would
create
perhaps
more
spending
definitely
more
spending
for
things
like
roads
and
bridges.
N
What
you
consider
a
hard
infrastructure,
broadband
et
cetera
and
then
the
fourth
is
provision
of
government
services,
and
I
put
that
out
broadly
to
the
side
there
to
the
extent
of
revenue
loss
so
functionally
as
as
wayne
and
sarah
described,
there's
a
calculation
that
needed
to
be
done
early
on
in
the
process
where
we
decide,
based
on
the
work
of
gfo
and
the
work
of
your
fiscal
staff.
N
Folks,
are
basically
thinking
very
broadly
as
to
what
government
does
right,
and
so
that
could
be
a
lot
of
things
that
wouldn't
necessarily
fall
into
the
first
three
buckets
now
the
prohibitions
things
like
using
the
money
to
pay
lawsuit
settlements,
putting
it
directly
into
the
rainy
day
fund
using
it
to
pay
severance
payments
using
it
to
shore
up
pensions,
using
it
to
pay
for
existing
debt
service.
Those
prohibitions
are
on
everything
that
doesn't
change
with
the
provision
of
government
services,
but
it
does
give
us
a
little
more
flexibility.
N
K-12
education,
as
wayne
and
sarah
mentioned,
is
in
the
hands
of
our
department
of
education,
as
well
as
the
school
districts.
They've
submitted
a
plan
which
is
available
online
that
I
encourage
anybody
to
read.
That's
primarily
those
assert
dollars.
N
There
are
seven
programs,
we
have
funding
information
for
all
of
them
and
in
total
it's
about
1.18
billion
dollars,
the
plan
that
was
approved
by
the
treasury.
This
is
one
of
the
few
plans
that
just
I'll
call
it
out
here.
That
is
important.
Most
of
our
reporting
and
requirements
to
treasury
are
backward.
Looking,
you
make
a
decision.
You
know
legislation
governor
make
a
decision
on
how
these
things
are
going
to
be
spent.
We
go
and
spend
them.
N
We
report
that
that's
what
we've
spent
and,
if
there's
a
concern
it
comes
up
through
the
audit
process.
In
this
case,
the
u.s
department
of
education
had
to
approve
those
plans.
Preliminarily
before
dollars
went
out
the
door
and
there
were
requirements
there
about
equity
and
inclusion,
making
sure
that
under-invested
communities
were
invested
in
and.
N
Next
bucket
family
assistance,
389
million
in
total,
there's
16
programs.
We
have
funding
details
received
for
14
of
those
programs,
a
wide
variety
of
things
and
happy
to
go
into
any
more
detail
here.
But
things
like
child
abuse
prevention
state
grants
our
title:
seven
on
buzz
person,
which
is
elder
abuse,
prevention,
emergency
food
and
shelter
programs
and
family
violence
prevention,
housing,
total
of
339
million
dollars.
Funding
has
been
received
or
funding.
N
Details
have
been
received
for
six
of
the
nine
programs
that
includes
that
emergency
rental
assistance
that
we
spoke
about
just
from
a
rental
assistance
perspective.
We've
got
about
half
a
billion
dollars
statewide
through
the
three
programs,
so
the
money
that
was
allocated
during
the
cares
from
the
chronovirus
relief
fund
era,
one
which
passed
from
the
december
consolidated
appropriations
act,
which
is
called
the
december
bill
and
the
dollars
have
come
in
through
arpa
and
as
of
the
last
count,
the
state
of
nevada
is
10th
in
the
nation.
N
Four
percentage
of
funds
out
the
door,
which,
of
course
was
a
collaborative
effort
between
a
lot
of
people,
but
worth
mentioning
that
it's
going
relatively
pretty
well.
N
Transportation,
346
million
dollars
is
five
programs.
We
have
the
details
received
for
all
and
those
are
primarily
in
fta
programs
and
a
few
dollars
going
on
to
airports
and
the
rest,
and
we.
N
N
This
is
one
of
the
ones
where
we
have
the
biggest
gap
between
programs
that
we
know
about
versus
programs
that
have
gotten
dollars
and
those
range
from
family
planning
to
public
health,
laboratory
preparation,
nursing
homes,
strike
teams
and
there's
a
lot
of
different
programs
that
flow
in
through
this,
which,
of
course,
isn't
surprising.
In
the
midst
of
a
pandemic,.
N
Higher
education,
214
million
dollars,
primarily
through
the
higher
education
emergency
relief
fund,
or
here
there
are
dollars
that
have
gone
out
to
the
universities
directly.
Most
of
the
universities
have
put
a
plan
together
on
spending
them.
N
Most
of
those
plans
are
around
aid
directly
to
students,
some
budget
replacements,
to
make
up
for
budget
dollars
cut
during
the
last
cycle,
and
mostly
those
two
pockets.
There
are
some
other
buckets
out
there
and
I'm
sure,
and
she
could
provide
additional
information
if
need
be,
but
most
of
those
funds
have
been
allocated
if
not
spent.
N
Capital
projects
fun
this
one's
a
little
different,
so
I'll
spend
a
little
more
time
here.
135
million
dollars
has
its
own
set
of
guides.
Most
of
these
programs
have
guidance,
but
that
guidance
is
about
the
existing
program
that
is
being
fussed
up
or
slightly
adjusted.
This
is
a
brand
new
program
administered
out
of
treasury
guidance
was
published
about
15
days
ago
or
so
for
the
135
or
so
million
dollars
that
are
coming
in.
N
It
is
a
fund
specifically
for
capital
investment
projects
that
help
out
dealing
with
communities
who
were
impacted
by
the
kobe
19
pandemic,
with
a
primary
focus
on
broadband.
N
It's
not
a
universal
focus
on
broadband
commutes
for
other
purposes,
but
broadband
from
a
guidance
perspective
is
assumed
to
be
allowable
and
then
other
programs
have
a
series
of
tests,
but
you
can
see
the
three
criterion:
the
projects
need
to
be
in
order
to
be
eligible,
have
projects,
investments
in
capital,
assets
designed
to
directly
enable
work,
education
and
health
monitoring,
and
it's
specific
to
work,
education
and
it's
an
inclusive
phrasing
right.
So
a
project
that
just
did
health
monitoring
would
not
be
appropriate,
but
a
project
that
did
work.
N
N
Economic
development,
two
projects
here
coming
in
for
92.1
million
dollars.
We
have
funding
details
for
one
of
them,
but
we've
got
a
general
idea.
Both
the
state
small
business
credit
initiative
for
those
who
don't
know
is
a
is
a
program
that
exists.
That's
an
ongoing
program
that
helps
provide
small
businesses,
startup
and
ongoing
capital
at
the
state
level,
really
successful
program,
pretty
small
about
13
million
or
so
coming
into
that
program.
N
N
It's
a
two-stage
application
process
where
we
apply
broadly
then
get
into
the
shortlist
and
there's
a
fair
amount
of
work
to
do
to
get
the
final
grant
funding
but
goed
in
combination
with
nevada
system
of
higher
education,
the
local
rdas
and
workforce
groups
have
been
working
to
put
a
plan
together.
There
I'll
highlight
that
as
the
type
of
coordination
that
absolutely
is
necessary
as
we
go
through
this
in
past
funding
rounds.
Things
like
aura.
N
We
have
we
had
a
sub-optimal
result
in
some
ways,
because
local
governments
in
the
state
weren't
communicating
as
much
as
they
needed
to
and
so
competitive
projects
would
both
be
submitted
for
the
same
thing
or
for
the
same
type
of
thing
nearby,
and
because
these
are
reviewed,
it
is
a
competitive
process.
You
know
you
go
out
of
your
way
to
try
to
make
sure
that
you're
not
competing
against
yourselves,
and
so
that
work
is
being
done
and
we're
generally
optimistic
about
the
result
side.
Please.
N
Food
assistance,
24
million
dollars
coming
in
we've,
gotten
seven
programs
funding
details
received
for
five,
and
that
is
the
aforementioned
wic
cash
voucher
increase,
as
well
as
some
purchasing
and
tech
improvements
for
snap
and
so
again
from
a
coordination
expert
piece
and
then
to
get
back
to
assemblywoman
carlton's
question
from
earlier
about.
How
do
we
make
sure-
or
you
know
the
importance
of
making
sure
that
we
don't
spend
less
flexible
dollars
or
more
flexible
dollars
on
less
flexible
dollars?
Opportunity?
N
In
other
words,
we
don't
use
the
cash
when
we
could
use
the
gift
card.
That's
why
we're
reviewing
all
these
programs
and
making
sure
that,
if
increases
to
say,
for
instance,
if,
through
the
every
nevada
recovery
framework
or
through
the
nevada
coverage,
listening
tour
comments
were
made
about
improving
online
purchasing
through
snap
that
we
make
sure
that
these
dollars
get
spent
towards
that
purpose.
First,
before
there's
an
application
or
desire
to
use
the
more
flexible
dollars.
N
Miscellaneous
there
are
some
programs
that
just
didn't
fit
into
a
calculation
there's
15
programs
we
have
details
received
for
six.
These
are
relatively
small
in
general,
in
the
big
scope
of
the
bill,
but
there's
air
pollution
grants
national
endowment
for
the
arts,
there's
dollars
in
there
for
firefighters
and
state
commissions
on
community
service,
as
well
as
another,
nine
or
so
programs.
E
M
Yes,
this
assembly
woman
told
please
go
ahead.
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
treasurer
good
to
see
you
and
I
know
you've
been
very
busy
over
the
last
month
or
so
I'm
going
back
to
you
as
slide
15
and
the
capital
projects
fund.
M
N
Yeah
absolutely
and
we're
happy
to
follow
up
with
some
more
examples
down
the
road,
but
the
two
that
are
sort
of
outlined
within
the
guidance
is
projects
that
are
broadband
related
right,
so
whether
it's
bringing
broadband
to
an
area
that
doesn't
have
broadband
providing
equipment
or
devices
or
connectivity
within
an
area
right
will
all
would
be
within
the
guidance.
That's
sort
of
the
you
know.
The
black
letter
law
is
that
broadband
is
allowable.
The
other.
G
N
They
mention
are
multi-purpose
community
facilities,
so,
for
instance,
when
you
look
at
enable
work,
education,
health
monitoring,
a
central
location
in
a
community
that
could
provide
both
telehealth
services
could
provide
workforce
services
so
for
people
who
needed
to
telework
but
didn't
necessarily
have
the
connection
at
home
right
or
lived
in
a
role
or
frontier
era
where
they
couldn't
have
access
to
connection
and
same
thing
on
the
education
fund
right.
So
the
the
concept
of
a
centralized
location
where
people
could
access
remote
services
would
fall
within
the
guidance.
N
Other
things
could
be
within
the
guidance,
but
they
have
to
meet
all
of
those
criteria.
It's
I
would
say
that,
while
those
are
relatively
flexible
dollars
within
the
things
that
they're
allowing
you
to
do,
there
are
options
kind
of
off-ramps
into
other
types
of
capital
projects,
but
they're
really
encouraging.
The
guidance
really
encourages
a
focus
on
broadband
and
those
multi-purpose
community.
Centers.
M
You
so
just
to
be
clear.
You
couldn't
just
have
let's
say
a
clinic:
that's
set
up
to
deal
with
health
and
substance,
use,
disorder
and
stand-alone.
It
would
also
have
to
include
an
education
component
and,
conversely,
you
couldn't
just
have
an
education
program
that
maybe
provides
a
facility
for
after-school
tutoring.
If
it
doesn't
also
have
a
health
component.
Am
I
understanding
that
correctly.
N
That's
our
read
of
the
guidance,
something
that
we
don't
know
in
a
question
that
is
being
posed
to
treasury
is
sort
of
what
is
the
percentage
of
functionality
that
needs
to
be
available?
In
other
words,
if
there
was
a
an
office
space
that
could
be
used
for
telehealth
appointments,
that
was
private
and
you
know
reservable
in
advance
by
healthcare
providers.
Would
that
satisfy
the
health
component
of
the
piece?
Or
would
you
need?
You
know
an
rn
or
someone
else
on
staff
in
order
to
be
able
to
do
it?
N
Another
piece
that
is
within
guns
is
that
that
the
purpose
of
the
facility
wouldn't
need
to
be
limited
just
to
those
purposes.
In
other
words,
you
could
build
a
facility
that
did
those
purposes,
but
also
had
a
community
center,
or
you
build
a
facility
that
did
those
purposes,
but
also
had
a
child
care
facility
or
a
library,
or
you
know
whatever
that
community
need,
but
it
does
need
those
components.
N
Perfect,
let
me
get
back
to
that
slide.
Okay.
So,
in
conversations
when
you
read
the
treasury
guides,
one
of
the
things
that's
deeply
clear
is
that
the
treasury
in
the
white
house
are
intending
for
this
to
be
a
process.
Unlike
past
spending
decisions
processes
right,
in
other
words,
that
they
expect.
I
think
this
word
has
been
said
a
lot
recently,
but
they
expect
an
unprecedented
opportunity
to
elicit
an
unprecedented
response
and
you're.
Seeing
different
states
through
the
ncl
presentation
do
different
things.
N
Right,
nevada
chose
to
be
as
inclusive
as
humanly
possible,
and
so
we
put
together
during
the
end
of
the
legislative
session,
just
to
kind
of
how
we
got
here
on
the
every
nevada
recovery
framework,
which
is
a
collaboration
between
legislative
leadership,
the
governor's
office
and
our
office
to
set
forward
an
ethos
for
these
coming
federal
dollars
without
the
guidance
in
front
of
us
and
not
knowing
exactly
what
was
allowable
and
not
right.
N
And
so-
and
I
know
gfo
will
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
this,
but
broadly
the
level
of
reporting
around
these
dollars,
specifically
the
2.7,
but
also
a
number
of
those
other
104
buckets,
is
much
more
significant
than
historic
than
the
amount
of
reporting
that
we
have
to
provide
it's
much
more,
probably
double
or
three
times
more
than
the
reporting
we
have
to
provide
for
the
chronovirus
relief
fund
right
and
the
the
narrative.
N
The
mechanic
that
they
want
us
to
go
through
is
effectively
creating
a
journey
line
for
these
ideas,
and
so
the
treasury
wants
to
see,
tell
us
about
how
you
got
the
data
through
which
decisions
were
made.
Tell
us
where
you
got
that
data,
how
you
got
that
data,
how
the
process
of
getting
that
data
was
as
equitable
as
possible
and
specifically
reached
out
to
communities
that
have
been
historically
under-invested
in
disenfranchised.
N
How,
then,
that
data
informed
decision
making
and
how
decisions
were
made
from
that
data?
What
the
expectation
was
going
was
about
what
the
outcome
of
those
decisions
would
be
and
then
finally,
was
that
outcome,
the
actual
outcome,
the
extent
that
it's
measurable,
and
so
this
is
a
very
data-driven
process
in
order
to
create
kind
of
a
backbone
for
that
data.
We
created
the
nevada,
recovers,
listening
tour,
it's
a
75-day,
75
event,
tour
currently
we're
on
day
64.
N
an
event
to
date
is
92..
Now
that
does
include.
E
N
Listening
events,
where
you've
seen
from
the
roundtable
perspective
on
21,
local
and
tribal
presentations,
we
thought
this
was
really
important
to
make
sure
that
we
went
out
to
the
counties,
large
and
small,
to
the
cities
large
and
small,
and
offered
to
explain
what
process
the
state
was
going
through
and,
as
importantly,
make
sure
that
they
know
that
we're
interested
in
both
collaboration
and
data
share,
because
we
have
received
through
this
process
thousands
of
ideas.
Some
of
those
ideas
are
very
functionally
a
county
thing
right.
It's
repairing
of
a
county
road.
N
It's
fixing
up
a
county
health
center
or
a
city
thing,
and
so
we're
able
to
pass
that
information
on
to
them,
as
we've
asked
them
to
pass
information
on
for
things
that
should
probably
be
statement
issues,
for
instance,
broadband
right.
It
doesn't
make
sense
for
us
to
have
17
different
broadband
plans,
one
for
each
county
and
then
additional
ones
that
are
city
specific.
So
part
of
this
tour
right,
a
big
piece
about
a
third
or
a
quarter.
N
Everything
that
we
do
on
the
store
drives
people
to
nevadarecovers.com,
which
is
where
all
ideas
come
from.
So
every
idea,
through
this
process
is
intended
from
a
data
collection
and
meeting
the
treasury
guidance.
Every
idea
that
comes
in
goes
through
that
portal.
Now
we
have
ways
for
individuals
in
our
community
to
have
access
to
the
internet,
to
submit
ideas
and
to
fill
out
surveys
that
is
available
in
english
and
spanish
we've
got
partners
who
are
willing
to
help
for
communities
who
speak
other
languages
outside
of
english
nationally.
N
You
know
it's
a
big
portion
of
the
population
here
in
nevada
to
make
sure
their
ideas
can
get
captured
and,
as
always,
we're
deeply
appreciative
to
our
chambers,
our
faith
leaders,
our
union
halls
and
the
rest
for
helping
us
spread
the
word
about
it.
But
all
of
these
efforts
are
to
drive
ideas
and
survey
results
through
nevadarecovers.com
so
that
we
are
able,
at
the
end
of
this
process,
to
turn
over
a
relatively
comprehensive
data
package.
To
the
second
stage,
which
I
know
we're
going
to
talk
about
more
at
the
next
meeting.
N
But
the
second
stage
is
effectively
to
take
those
106
buckets
of
funding
and
make
sure
we're
spending
them
in
the
most
effective
way
right
to
look
at
what
other
states
are
doing
to
compare
what
the
state
typically
does
as
far
as
receiving
federal
funds
to
what
could
be
done.
Now
that
we've
got
the
resources
in
order
to
implement
that
work
and
to
make
sure
that,
at
the
end
of
this,
we
have
not
just
an
effective
as
the
governor
put
it.
N
Investment
versus
spending
of
these
billions
of
dollars,
but
also
to
make
sure
that
we've
got
a
resource
list
in
front
of
us
so
that
for
future
packages
as
they
come
in,
whether
it's
the
infrastructure
bill
or
the
social
infrastructure,
a
reconciliation
bill,
both
of
which
within
iraq,
will
pass
and
bring
billions
of
dollars
of
support
to
nevada,
but
also
as
a
resource.
N
For
the
legislature
and
the
governor
and
anyone
else,
who's
making
a
decision
on
the
on
the
local
and
city
level
so
that
they
know
here,
here's
what
your
community
is
saying
right,
here's
what's
out
there,
the
needs
that
have
been
expressed
here
are
the
ideas,
and
we
know,
and
the
treasury
guidance
directs
us
to
help
find
solutions
within
the
community.
In
other
words,
the
the
rules,
the
guidance
around
it
is
not
to.
N
A
C
Chair
don
darrow
loop,
I
can
see
the
whole
gallery
and
no
one
seems
to
have
any
questions
right
now.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Senator
brooks.
I
appreciate
that.
Okay,
treasurer
conan
any
additional
information
you'd
like
to
share.
N
No,
I
just
really
want
to
thank
members
of
this
committee
and
other
members
of
legislature.
The
fiscal
staff
gfo
has
been,
I
would
say,
herculean
lyft,
and
it's
not
anywhere
close
to
done.
So
I
appreciate
everybody's
work
and
willingness
to
participate
in
these
recovery
tours
when
they
come
to
your
part
of
the
state.
Look
forward
to
giving
you
an
update
at
the
next
meeting.
A
Thank
you
so
much,
and
thank
you
for
your
time
today
and
your
office
as
well.
We
appreciate
that
if
the
members
don't
mind
I'd
like
to
take
about
a
five
six
minute
recess,
I
think
we've
been
at
this
quite
a
bit
and
everybody
can
refresh
their
coffee
if
they
need
to,
and
it
is
10
22,
maybe
like
about
five
minutes
or
so
and
we'll
see
if
we
can
get
my
self
backup
and
renting
here.
Thank
you.
A
F
Thank
you
and
good
morning,
chair
gondara,
loop
and
subcommittee
members.
I
am
susan
brown,
the
director
of
the
governor
finance
office-
and
I
have
here
with
me
today,
leslie
mullenkamp,
who
is
our
coronavirus,
federal
aid
coordinator
and
shawna
tilly.
She
is
our
new
american
rescue
plan
act.
Fiscal
recovery
fund
lead.
It
is
shawna's
second
day
on
the
job,
so
leslie
and
I
are
going
to
do
the
heavy
lifting
today,
but
I
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
introduce
her,
as
you
will
be
seeing
a
lot
more
of
her
as
of
her
in
the
coming
months.
F
F
F
Since
june
of
2021
25
work
programs
have
begun
have
gone
before
the
ifc
to
accept
arpa
funds
and
two
allocations
were
approved
during
the
81st
legislative
session.
Various
state
agencies,
including
the
nevada
department
of
education,
the
department
of
health
and
human
services,
business
and
industry
veterans,
services,
tourism
and
cultural
affairs
and
the
governor's
finance
office
are
all
managing
these
funds.
F
Each
of
these
federal
partners
is
responsible
for
their
own
programs
and
there
is
no
single
federal
resource
available
where
you
can
find
this
information
collected
in
one
spot.
All
of
these
27
programs
vary
in
their
duration
or
performance
period,
as
well
as
their
uses.
We
are
finding
that
several
programs
have
the
same
allowances
so
deciding
what
fund
to
use
first
is
paramount
and
we
will
be
touching
on
that.
F
A
little
later,
it
should
be
noted
that
with
72
buckets
of
artful
funds
expected,
it
can
be
a
little
confusing
if
we
refer
to
all
of
these
allocations
generally
as
arbor
funds.
For
this
reason,
we
are
going
to
try
to
reference
each
funding
stream
by
its
program
name
rather
than
as
arpa
funding
next
slide.
D
Good
morning,
chair
dondera,
loop
and
subcommittee
members,
as
director
brown
mentioned,
our
nevada
state
agencies
have
received
over
3.8
billion
dollars
in
arpa
funds
to
date
with
more
expected
in
the
coming
months.
However,
as
you
can
see
on
this
slide,
a
large
portion
of
this
amount
comes
from
the
arpa
corona
corona
virus
state
and
local
fiscal
recovery
funds.
D
D
D
Another
very
important
distinction
of
this
fund
is
that
it
shifts
from
providing
emergency
relief
aid
to
recovery
aid,
while
still
allowing
for
pandemic
response.
So
as
a
result,
this
is
a
much
more
complex
and
comprehensive
federal
aid
program
than
the
previous
coronavirus
relief
fund.
D
The
treasury
is
providing
direct
payments
to
nevada's
counties
and
metropolitan
cities,
which
consist
of
carson
city,
henderson,
las
vegas,
north
las
vegas,
reno
and
sparks,
and
this
means
that
our
counties
and
larger
cities
do
not
have
to
go
through
the
state
to
receive
funds.
They
request
the
funds
directly
from
the
treasury
and
they
work
with
them
to
receive
the
payment.
D
Coronavirus
local
fiscal
recovery
funds
for
counties
and
metropolitan
cities
are
released
in
two
payments
or
tranches.
It's
our
favorite
word
now,
one
which
was
made
available
immediately
in
the
may
or
june
time
frame
depending
and
the
other
payment
which
will
be
sent
out
next
summer.
D
Unlike
the
coronavirus
relief
fund,
where
many
of
these
local
governments
had
to
report
to
the
state
on
the
use
of
the
funds,
reporting
and
compliance
accountability
is
direct
to
the
treasury.
It
should
be
noted
that
although
local
fiscal
recovery
funds
have
a
slightly
different
name,
they
actually
play
by
the
same
rules
as
a
state
fiscal
recovery
fund.
They
have
the
exact
same
allowances
and
they
have
most
of
the
same
reporting
requirements.
D
So
what
about
the
smaller
nevada
cities?
Well,
the
treasury
identified
a
list
of
non-entitlement
units
of
local
governments
which
we
refer
to
as
neu's.
These
are
typically
cities
serving
populations
of
less
than
50
000
and
in
nevada.
We
have
13
neu
cities
that
were
designated
by
the
federal
government
to
receive
this
aid.
D
The
award
amounts
are
based
on
the
population
of
the
neus
relative
to
the
entire
population
of
the
end.
All
13
neus
in
total
nevada
naus,
were
allocated
a
maximum
amount
of
150.7
dollars.
However,
the
funds
were
to
be
distributed
through
the
state
of
nevada
instead
of
direct
from
the
treasury,
like
the
counties
in
the
larger
metropolitan
cities.
D
But
just
like
the
counties
in
larger
cities,
the
neu
payments
are
to
be
sent
out
in
two
tranches,
with
one
payment
to
be
made
immediately
and
the
other
to
be
paid
a
year
later,
so
the
state
of
nevada
received
the
first
nau
tranche
of
75
million
dollars
on
june
16th
and
had
30
days
to
disperse
the
funds,
and
we
are
happy
to
say
that
nevada
was
one
of
17
states.
That
did
not
ask
for
an
extension.
D
D
D
As
stated
before,
the
state
funds
follow
the
exact
same
allowances
as
the
local
fiscal
recovery
funds
and
they
also
follow
the
most
of
the
same
compliance
rules.
D
One
very
significant
allowance
for
the
fiscal
recovery
funds
is
the
ability
for
a
recipient
to
use
the
funds
for
government
services
to
the
extent
the
reduction
of
revenue
experienced
due
to
the
covet
19
public
health
emergency.
So,
in
other
words,
to
put
it
in
a
little
bit
more
plain
language.
The
allowance
is
to
be
able
to
recover
the
lost
revenue
that
was
experienced
due
to
the
pandemic.
D
The
rest
of
the
items
you
see
here
on
the
list
are
the
arpa
fiscal
recovery
fund
allocations
that
were
directed
through
the
81st
session
legislation
and
I'd.
Like
to
call
out
that
the
items
on
this
list
that
you
see
here
in
more
of
a
light
yellow
color,
these
are
the
items
that
are
currently
under
review
to
ensure
allocations
meet
the
eligibility
requirements
of
the
fund,
and
this
may
answer.
Hopefully
the
question
that
assemblywoman
tolls
had
earlier.
D
Now
the
governor's
finance
office
is
working
with
any
entity
that
is
to
receive
funding
through
these
allocations
to
collect
the
data
and
information
for
required
reporting
and
compliance
is
directed
by
treasury
and,
as
we
mentioned
before-
and
I
believe
treasurer
conan
also
mentioned
this
touched
on
this.
D
This
fund
is
far
more
complex
and
comprehensive
in
its
structure
than
our
previous
coronavirus
relief
fund
and
as
a
result,
we
must
collect
much
more
information
and
data
than
we
had
to
before.
So
our
goal
in
this
office
is
to
streamline
this
process
and
to
make
it
as
efficient
as
possible
and
we're
working
on
that
right
now
to
to
do
that
and
also
work
with
our
partners
to
to
collect
that
information.
D
So
if
you
look
at
the
right
hand,
column
you're
going
to
see
that
all
of
these
waterfall
allocations
and
any
future
allocations
of
the
remaining
arpa
state
fiscal
recovery
fund
dollars
will
go
through
the
framework
process
and,
as
you
can
see
here,
although
we
did
see
a
substantial
amount
of
funds
that
were
allocated
through
the
81st
session,
it
still
goes
through
the
every
nevadan
recovery
framework
process
because,
as
we've
mentioned
before
many
initiatives
have
the
same
allowance
or
multiple
funding
streams,
while
others
do
not,
and
so
we
will
be
evaluating
what
funds
are
to
be
used
first
and
what
initiatives
have
already
been
funded
and
we
are
basically
collecting
collecting
this
information
for
this
analysis
through
the
framework
framework
process.
D
We've
outlined
the
steps
of
the
framework
process
here,
and
you
can
see
that
a
key
part
of
this
is
step
number
three,
which
is
which
calls
for
mapping
all
eligible
of
funds,
all
of
them
that
we
have
we
know
of
and
then
step
number
four
is
pairing
the
best
source
of
funding
for
that
initiative.
So
that's
what
we
would
like
to
do
through
the
framework
process.
D
The
recovery
roadmap
will
collect
this
analysis
together
and
hopefully
to
be
a
very
useful
tool
tool
for
looking
at
new
and
existing
priorities
and
evaluating
funding
considerations.
D
So
at
this
point,
what
I
would
like
to
do
is
just
to
emphasize
one
more
time
that
any
kind
of
suggestions
for
use
of
the
funds
really
should
be
routed
through
the
nevada
recovers
website,
and
that
is
nevada
recovers
with
an
s
dot.
Com
and
anyone
who
is
interested
in
providing
ideas
or
suggestions
should
definitely
get
that
information
into
and
collected
into
the
website
portal,
so
that
we
can
use
this
and
definitely
make
sure
that
it
is
addressed
in
the
framework
process.
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
that
information
and
I
will
ask:
let's
see,
I
see
assemblywoman
tolls.
Please
go
ahead.
M
Thank
you
and
I
I
do
appreciate
you
referencing
back
to
my
question.
I
think
it's
on
slide
28,
that
you're
referring
to
the
light
yellow
sections
and
is
that
eligibility
review
subject
to
the
the
latest
treasury
guidance
that
we're
still
waiting
to
receive
that
emily
was
referring
to
from
ncsl.
Or
is
it
something
else.
D
Leslie
mullen
camp
for
the
record.
Basically,
we
do
know
with
this
particular
with
that
particular
question
in
that
particular
allocation.
We
we
look
for
the
eligibility
eligibility
first
and
foremost,
but
with
this
particular
legislation
there
are
some
certain
areas
that
are
called
out
within
ab495
it
does.
We
do
know
that
the
funding
is
to
be
used
to
augment
programs,
and
we
also
know
you
know,
and
this
is
put
into
the
legislation.
D
We
also
know
that
per
the
legislation
to
qualify
for
such
a
grant,
a
school
district
or
a
charter
school
or
university
school
would
must
describe
how
the
entity
has
expended
or
plans
to
expand
its
allocation
of
federal
funding
from
all
of
the
esser
funds
that
have
been
received
and
all
of
the
gear
funds
that
have
been
received-
and
I
believe,
as
treasurer
conan
had
mentioned
before,
some
of
those
funding
that
that
we're
going
out,
especially
through
esser,
had
to
be
pre-approved.
D
And
so
I
I
believe
that
at
this
point
in
time,
most
of
the
the
charter,
schools
and
the
school
districts
should
be
at
the
point
where
they
would
be
able
to
demonstrate
that
this
allocation
would
be
to
augment
the
programs
and
basically
to
demonstrate
funding
gaps
in
existing
literacy
and
at-risk
programming.
So
there
were
a
few
pieces
that
had
to
be
in
place
in
order
for
them
to
effectively
answer
that.
M
Please
go
ahead,
so
if
I
hear
you
correctly,
we
had
to
demonstrate
how
we
were
using
some
of
the
other
dollars
first
before
we
could
utilize
this,
but
we've
we're
getting
closer
to
those
steps
to
be
able
to
utilize
that
funds,
because
obviously
the
concern
is
the
learning
loss
in
particular
I'll
camp
out
on
that
one.
But
I
would
also
say
the
same
would
go
for
deters
I.t
and
so
forth.
Those
needs
are
immediate.
M
D
This
is
leslie
mullen
camp
for
the
record.
Yes,
I
do
believe
we're
getting
close
and
I
think
a
lot
of
that
had
to
do
with
the
fact
that,
in
order
to
be
able
to
demonstrate
that
funding
gap,
you
you
have
to
have
your
your
funds.
You
know
mapped,
and
so
I
I
do
believe
that
we're
at
the
point
right
now,
where
school,
districts
and
charter
schools
will
be
more
more
effectively
able
to
do
that.
M
D
Leslie
mullen
cam
for
the
record.
I
think
each
individual
allocation
is
going
to
have
its
own
set
of
considerations
and
so
really
again
we
look
for
eligibility
first
and
foremost,
but
we
also
have
a
lot
of
fairly
extensive
reporting
requirements.
One
of
the
things
that
is
called
out
is
is
that
programs
they
have
to
demonstrate
a
lot
of
data,
a
lot
of
information
that
we
that
we
absolutely
have
to
collect
from
the
entities
that
receive
the
allocation.
D
So,
for
example,
you
know
they
have
to
have
some
key
outcome
goals
they
they
have
to
have
some
descriptions
of
efforts
to
date
and
intended
outcomes
to
promote
equity.
These
are
some
things
that
we
haven't
seen
before,
with
the
coronavirus
relief
fund.
I'll
give
another
example
use
of
evidence.
So
this
is
because
that
is
a
lot
more
complex
information.
M
A
Thank
you
very
much
additional
questions.
Assemblywoman
carlton
did
you
have
a
question.
G
Yes,
madam
chair
and
I
I
am
going
to
be
picking
up
where
assemblywoman's
tolls
left
off,
because
I
did
see
food
assistance
in
the
yellow,
but
I
did
see
on
the
treasurer's
pie
chart
the
food
assistance
line
was
fairly
thin.
Economic
development
actually
had
more
money
than
food
assistance
had
so
I'm
just
trying
to
figure
out.
So
we've
got
that
on
the
treasurer's
pie
chart
that
there's
food
assistance
dollars
ready
are
available.
G
Then
we
have
the
bill
and
I
had
concerns
about
putting
some
of
these
items
in
this
bill
because
I
was
afraid
it
might
slow
it
up.
So
we're
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
do
the
food
assistance
part
of
it,
and
it's
not
just
the
food
assistance.
It's
the
transportation,
that's
involved!
It's
the
storage,
that's
involved!
It's
not
just
the
purchase
of
food,
there's
a
lot
that
goes
into
getting
food
from
one
place
to
another
to
make
sure
the
family
has
access
to
it.
G
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
understand
how
that
pie
chart
and
then
this
designation
for
those
dollars
fit
because
there
is
still
a
huge
need
for
food
in
the
community.
Right
now-
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
don't
miss
our
opportunity
to
make
sure
that
dollars
get
out
there
when
they're
really
needed.
D
Leslie
mullen
count
for
the
record.
I
think
that
that's
a
that's
a
very
quick,
great
question.
The
pie
chart
that
was
demonstrated
earlier
does
represent
all
of
the
different
funding
streams.
So
there
should
be.
You
know,
multiple
funding
streams
that
make
up
that
particular
slice
of
the
pie
for
the
7.6
million
dollar
allocation.
That
will
only
be
one
of
the
many
that
make
up
the
food
is
food
assistance.
So
so
definitely
you
know
in
working
with
some
our
state
agencies.
D
What
we
want
to
be
able
to
do
is
to
actually
address
that
as
well
to
be
able
to
to
make
sure
that
these
funds
are
going
out
expediently,
but
also
addressing
where
basically
the
gaps.
If
any
of
those
other
funding
streams
don't
cover
something
in
particular,
we
we
want
to
be
able
to
be
very
smart
about,
and
strategic
about
being
able
to
use
those
funds,
but
while
also
not
slowing
down
the
process.
D
G
And
thank
you
and-
and
I
really
appreciate
that
and
thanksgiving
is
literally
right
around
the
corner.
So
is
christmas
and
the
slow
time
for
las
vegas
is
coming
up.
There
will
be
more
people
who
do
need
food,
so
we
do
need
to
get
this
figured
out
and
taken
care
of
so
that
our
major
food
banks
in
the
state
can
get
prepared.
It
takes
time
to
maneuver
this
amount
of
food
when
you're
bringing
in
semi
trucks
full
of
food.
G
G
A
You
very
much
for
the
questions,
questions
from
the
committee
anywhere.
If
I
don't
see
you
just
let
me
know.
A
All
right,
I
do
not
believe
I
see
any
additional
questions,
and
so
with
that
I
would
thank
the
governor's
office
for
being
with
us
today
and
welcome
to
the
team,
ms
tilly
we're
happy
to
have
you
and
thank
you
so
much
for
the
presentation.
A
We
appreciate
that
so
we
will
now

for
the

As
a
result
of
the
coven
19
pandemic,
state
workers
were
given
furloughs
and
their
public

benefits.
Program
benefits
were
drastically
cut
and
employee
premiums
were
increased,
25
million

withdrawn
from
pebb
and
fy
2021
through
an
employer-only
premium
holiday
and
new
budget
cuts
were
made
for
this
biennium
out-of-pocket
maximums
and
deductibles
have
increased
sharply
shifting
the
cost
from
the
health
plan
to
the
employee.
K
Our
constituents
have,
of
course,
heard
about
the
2.7
billion

recovery
fund,
including
the
1.2
billion

They
also

that

taxes

all
times
highs.

K
G
A
Yes,
and
while
we're
doing
that,
I
believe
senator
brooks
had
some
comments
that
he
would
like
to
make
senator
brooks.
Would
you
like
to
do
that
now
or
would
you
like
us
to
wait
until
we
wait
for
public
callers.
A
C
I
thank
you
chair
dondero
loupe.
I
I
just
wanted
to
to
say
that
that
this
is
been
incredible
information
today
and
I
think
it
was
very
helpful
for
all
the
members
and
the
general
public
to
kind
of
see
the
processes
all
in
one
place,
and
it's
it's
exactly
what
what
I
envisioned
when
I
I
worked
with
leadership
to
create
this
subcommittee,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
you,
chair
for
putting
this
together
and
and
thank
all
of
the
presenters.
A
I
couldn't
agree
more
and
thank
you
for
those
comments,
and
I
will
do
those
very
same
comments.
We
will
be
having
another
meeting.
A
We
are
working
with
fiscal
staff
to
make
sure
that
we
do
it
in
alignment
with
our
ifc.
So
while
I'd
love
to
give
you
an
exact
date
today,
I
do
not
have
one.
So
we
will
get
with
you
as
soon
as
we
can
as
soon
as
we
put
all
the
moving
pieces
and
parts
together
in
the
puzzle,
and
we
will
definitely
have
a
follow-up
meeting
before
the
end
of
the
year.
So
please
stay
tuned
for
that
with
no
other.
Unless
somebody
else
has
another
comment
they
would
like
to
make.
