I
do
not

so
we

The

A
Okay,

So
with

we

the
judicial
branch,
Department
of
Public
Safety

and
the
Department

Corrections.
We
will
try
and
follow
the
start
times
listed
on
the
agenda,
but
I
do
plan
on
taking
a
lunch
break
between
agenda
items
five
and
six.
So
first
up
we
have
the
judicial
branch,
chief
justice,
stiglich
and
her
team.
A
Good
morning,
good
morning,
chair,
dondero
Loop,
chair
Monroe,
Moreno
justice.
Would
you
make
sure
you
push
your
button
and
bring
your
mic
down
so
that
we
can
hear
you
it
just
the
whole
thing
there
we
go
first
rodeo
I,
it's
way,
okay,
all
right!
We
fuss
with
it
every
time
we
come
in
all
right.
Well,
good
morning,
chair
dondero,
Loop,
chairman
Moreno
and
esteemed
members
of
this
joint
committee.
My
name
is
Lydia
stiglich
and
I
serve
as
a
Justice
on
the
Supreme
Court
of
Nevada.
A
Senate
Bill
58
is
a
package
of
reforms
to
the
Court's
budgeting
process
to
ensure
sustainable,
predictable
funding
to
support
the
Judiciary.
This
bill
provides
efficiency,
accountability
and
promotes
constitutional
Independence
for
the
judicial
branch,
when
Nevada
was
still
a
very
small
state,
we
had
a
correspondingly
small
Administrative
Office
of
the
Courts,
as
the
state's
population
continues
to
increase.
Nevada's
decentralized
model
for
its
court
system
has
seen
corresponding
increases
in
demands
for
services.
A
It's
only
been
since
the
early
1970s
that
the
court
has
been
included
in
the
unclassified
pay
bill,
which
conflicts
with
current
statute.
Our
reality
is
that
the
unclassified
positions
at
the
Supreme
Court
no
longer
accurately
reflect
the
work
that
is
actually
being
performed
here
at
the
Supreme
Court.
Our
proposed
budget
and
classification
system
does
we're
seeking
flexibility
to
execute
our
constitutional
responsibilities
with
SB
58,
not
autonomy.
We
expect
the
legislature
to
continue
to
exercise
its
constitutional
responsibilities
to
review
and
authorize
the
expenditure
of
funds.
A
We
believe
that
SB
58
strikes
this
balance.
Sb58
will
allow
us
to
manage
our
own
budgets
while
maintaining
accountability
to
and
transparency
with
the
legislature.
In
other
words,
we
fully
recognize
and
welcome
continued
legislative
oversight
to
ensure
that
our
budget
goals
are
in
alignment
with
those
of
the
legislature
and
the
state
at
Large.
A
A
It
amends
the
NRS
to
create
holding
and
emergency
accounts,
reducing
Reliance
on
administrative
assessment.
Revenue
from
traffic
citations
will
help.
The
court
have
more
predictable
sustainable
budgets,
the
bill
unties
specific
portions
of
administrative
assessment,
Revenue
to
particular
purposes
allowing
the
courts
to
use
this
funding
flexibly
to
accomplish
its
goals.
A
The
reforms
embedded
in
sb58
have
a
very
close
to
net
neutral
fiscal
impact
on
the
general
fund.
Finally
and
unrelated
to
the
goals
we're
seeking
in
sb58,
we
have
two
Standalone
bills:
ab15
and
ab16.
These
bills
would
Implement
colas
for
district
court
and
appellate
court
judges
respectively,
their
meritorious
bills
that
deserve
serious
consideration
by
this
body.
A
With
that,
we'll
start
our
slide
presentation
as
a
Court's
aware
or
the
court
room.
As
you're
aware,
the
the
judicial
branch
is
is
nested
in
the
Constitution.
Our
separation
Powers
is
captured
in
article
3
section,
one
of
the
Nevada
constitution
in
article
6
section,
one
of
the
Nevada
constitution
talks
about
the
judicial
powers
of
the
best
Supreme
Court,
the
Supreme
Court
Duties
are
to
administer
the
Nevada
judicial
system,
decide
or
assign
the
court
of
appeals.
A
The
Supreme
Court
duties
of
the
state
of
Nevada
are
very
different
than
some
of
our
national
partners
that
have
Supreme
Courts
because,
as
this
body
is
mostly
aware,
we
don't
exercise
cert
in
the
same
way.
If
it's
filed,
we
hear
it
and
therefore
we're
a
body
like
the
United
States
Supreme
Court
might
select
out
of
hundreds
of
thousands
of
cases
85
a
year
if
3
000
cases
are
filed
with
a
Nevada
Supreme
Court,
the
Nevada
Supreme
Court
hears
3
000
cases
and
you'll
see
on
the
next
slide.
A
Cases
filed
and
disposed
starting
with
fy21
new
cases
filed
1860.
you'll
see
that
number
increasing
it
decreased
a
bit
during
covid
and
there's
still
certainly
some
uncertainty
about.
What's
going
to
happen,
when
the
courts
are
running
it
at
full
piston
how
those
numbers
are
going
to
increase
over
time
so
cases
pending
1046
FY,
21
1036
in
the
Supreme
Court,
and
just
to
note
cases
pending
means
cases
filed.
A
Thank
you,
chief
Justice,
my
name
is
Todd
Miller
Chief
manager
of
budgets
for
the
judicial
branch.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
be
here
today
and
testify
before
you
regarding
our
budget
submittal.
A
This
budget
contains
total
funding
of
169
million
dollars.
That
is
an
increase
over
what
we've
had
in
the
past
I
believe
our
last
biennial
budget
came
in
around
120
million,
so
it
is
an
increase.
However,
as
the
chief
mentioned,
we
have
grown
as
a
state
over
time,
and
it
is
time
for
the
judicial
branch
to
do
what
is
needed
to
provide
to
continue
to
administer
justice
to
all
of
Adams,
and
that's
why
this
increases
here.
A
A
General
fund
is
about
126
million
in
the
last
biennium
we
were
around
90..
So
again
it
is
an
increase,
but
back
to
what
the
chief
said,
we
have
grown
and
it's
time
to
to
do
what
we
need
to
do.
A
The
under
the
Constitutional
Authority
that
the
judicial
branch
has
there
are
four
budget
accounts
that
fall
under
that
one
would
be.
As
I
mentioned,
the
judicial
elected
officials
contains
the
100
elected
officials.
There,
seven
justices
three
court
of
appeals,
judges
in
90,
District
judges
below
that.
Obviously,
the
Supreme
Court
budget
has
85
current
full-time
positions,
we're
asking
for
four
new
ones.
A
The
court
of
appeals
has
22
full-time
positions
that
one
is
remaining
static
and
the
senior
judge
program
also
has
one
full-time
position,
but
also
at
the
time
of
this
rioting
had
29
senior
judges,
I
think
we're
actually
over
30
now,
but
additionally,
we
have
statutory
Authority,
and
that
is
the
number
of
budget
accounts
that
we
have.
The
administrative
office
of
the
courts
has
32
current
positions,
we're
asking
for
an
increase
of
15
new
positions,
10
of
which
will
get
to
our
Auditors.
A
We
believe
that
the
combination
of
those
budget
accounts
will
allow
us
to
be
more
flexible,
allocate
staff
as
needed
and
the
funding
as
needed,
but
the
other
budget
accounts
listed
here
you'll
see
judicial
programs
and
services.
That
is
the
only
one,
with
the
exception
of
the
specialty
courts
that
has
general
fund.
That
would
also
be
absorbed
into
the
aoc's
budget
account,
which
has
historically
only
been
funded
by
administrative
assessments,
which
we'll
get
to
administrative
assessments.
A
Here
in
a
bit
with
regard
to
the
specialty
courts
budget
14.95,
there
is
one
full-time
position
there
that
is
remaining
the
same,
that
is
funded
in
this
budget
request,
approximately
75
general
fund
and
25
percent
by
a
specialty
Court
assessment,
which
is
tied
to
NRS
176.0613.
A
There
are
at
the
moment,
regular
administrative
assessments
contained
in
that
budget,
which
we
have
asked
to
be
removed
and
I'll
get
to
that
here
in
a
little
bit
as
to
why,
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
John
McCormick,
to
discuss
administrative
assessments.
Thank
you,
Todd
for
the
record
John
McCormick
I'm,
the
assistant
Court
Administrator
at
the
Supreme
Court
I,
want
everybody
to
sit
back
and
relax
and
we'll
talk
about
the
history
of
administrative
assessments
since
1983.
A
in
depth.
No
seeing
many
familiar
faces
here.
You've
heard
probably
heard
me
prattle
on
about
this
before,
but
currently,
as
Mr
Miler
indicated,
the
Supreme
Court
receives
a
significant
amount
of
revenue
from
administrative
assessments,
the
primary
one
being
that
which
is
contained
in
176.059
and
is
levied
on
misdemeanor
and
now
civil
traffic
infractions
as
well
and
we'll
we'll
touch
on
that
a
little
bit.
A
However,
administrative
assessments,
I
think
we
we've
demonstrated,
have
been
consistently
declining.
We
can
go
into
that
a
little
bit
more
later
on,
but
that
is
one
of
the
problems
that
we're
currently
confronting
and
I.
A
Think
the
legislatures
were
well
aware
of
sort
of
the
precarious
nature
of
administrative
assessments
and
the
Order
of
collection
and
those
type
of
things,
so
not
belaboring
AAS,
but
we
also
don't
know
what
exactly
civil
traffic
the
conversion
on
January
1st
of
traffic
event,
misdemeanor
traffic
offenses
from
misdemeanors,
obviously
to
civil,
is
going
to
have
on
administrative
assessments.
A
We
don't
have
enough
data,
it's
been
less
than
a
month
on
that,
so
we
are
currently
compiling
that
and
look
to
be
able
to
bring
updates
on
that
as
we
move
forward
and
get
get
progressed
through
the
session,
but
administrative
assessments
and
themselves.
You
can
see
here
on
this
chart
we're
about
30
million
dollars
at
their
peak
in
2010
and
are
now
approximately
half
of
that
at
15
million,
so
that
funding
source
swings
pretty
wildly
and
has
been
precipitously
dropping
over
the
last
decade.
Plus.
A
Good
morning,
I'm
Catherine
stocks
and
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
be
here
today.
As
far
as
the
budget
stabilization
piece,
which
is
a
huge
part
of
our
actual
request,
I
came
on
in
2021,
and
we
completed
a
Statewide
strategic
planning
process.
We
reached
out
to
the
trial
courts
across
the
state
and
being
a
decentralized
Judiciary.
A
We
asked
the
courts
what
it
is
that
they're
looking
for
and
what
they
need
and,
as
Mr
Miler
noted
earlier,
with
the
growth
of
Nevada
to
be
a
mid-major
state.
Now
the
AOC
itself
has
remained
stagnant
in
its
size
and
is
one
of
the
smallest
in
the
country,
and
so
part
of
the
strategic
planning
process
is
over
and
over
we
had
requests
of
well.
Can
the
AOC
help
our
trial
court
that
doesn't
have
resources?
We
There
are
courts
that
do
have
plenty
of
local
support.
A
They
have
the
resources
they
need
to
provide
access
to
Justice
in
this
state.
There
are
also
trial
courts
that
are
not
well
funded
by
their
local
entities
and
they
do
need
support
and
so
part
of
that
iterative
process
was
saying.
Well
what
could
our
role
be?
Well,
it
turned
out.
We
need
to
be
able
to
have
clear
and
predictable
funding
sources
in
order
for
the
AOC
to
dedicate
resources
to
support
our
our
courts
that
are
resource
low.
A
So
that's
where
this
budget
stabilization
piece
comes
in
as
Mr
McCormick
stated,
AA
Revenue
has
continued
to
decline
and
I
think.
Actually,
it
looks
like
you
know:
we're
consistently
25
below
the
Benchmark
of
fiscal
year
18.
and
so
the
the
idea
that
this
is
going
to
bounce
back
and
become
a
stable
funding
source.
It's
it's
hard
to
just
hope
that
maybe
things
will
turn
around.
It
also
has
to
do
with
the
impact
of
the
Precedence
of
the
collection
of
administrative
assessments.
A
Restitution
goes
first
right,
so
so,
if
restitution
goes
first,
then
it's
the
remainder
of
Revenue
that
then
will
come
in
as
AAS.
So,
finally,
one
of
the
biggest
pieces
of
this
is:
how
did
we
we
started
thinking?
Well,
how
do
we
work
collaboratively
with
the
legislature
to
come
up
with
a
way
to
stabilize
the
budget
that
will
allow
us
to
be
able
to
support
our
courts
and
that's
where
the
stabilization
piece
came
in?
We
actually
looked
at
the
structure
of
the
legislature
and
said:
okay,
look.
A
The
legislature
has
the
ability
to
respond
to
emergencies
and
be
flexible
in
their
Staffing
from
from
our
view
on
the
outside,
because
of
the
ability
to
maintain
reserves.
So
part
of
this
package
is
to
build
on
what
was
approved
during
the
pandemic,
with
that
uncertainty,
instead
of
potentially
having
to
revert
funds
and
then
come
back
and
and
need
them
again,
and
so
we
also
have
the
piece
of
amending
the
NRS,
which
is
SB
58,
to
be
able
to
really
model
the
legislature
and
have
our
own
holding
accounts.
A
A
B
A
Then
allow
the
legislature
to
still
be
able
to
see
all
that
we're
doing.
It
just
gives
a
little
bit
more
flexibility
and
dedicating
resources
related
to
that
AAA
Revenue,
and
we
think
that
it's
a
good
compromise
of
ensuring
that
you
were
able
to
see.
We
are
transparents
with
you
about
what
AAA
funds
are
being
used
and
how
they're
being
used.
A
Thank
you
Catherine.
So
as
we
get
a
little
bit
more
into
specifics
regarding
how
this
this
would
play
out
in
terms
of
beyond
the
legislation,
you'll
see
before
you,
as
has
been
outlined,
there
are
budget
stabilization
enhancements
within
our
budget
to
help
effectuate.
A
All
of
this,
the
first
one
you'll
see
there
are
a
number
of
enhancements
within
our
budget
accounts,
e310s
and
E9,
tens
that
remove
administrative
assessment
from
the
Supreme
Court,
specialty
court
and
Senior
judge
programs,
and
then
they
do
a
rebalancing
of
a
revenues
between
the
remaining
accounts
and
the
reason
for
that.
If
you'll
recall
back
to
the
slide
on
the
declining
AAS
is
the
overall
amount
that
came
into
the
state
when
this
budget
was
built,
there
was
very
little
left
over
for
the
executive
branch,
and
it
is
my
understanding.
A
Highlights
the
problem
that
we're
trying
to
fix
here,
the
situation
is
such
that
there
just
was
not
enough
funding
to
go
around
even
within
our
own
budget
accounts
to
keep
the
Supreme
Court's
budget
relying
upon
that
fund
source
and
so
the
the
functions
that
we
have
performed
that
have
relied
for
a
significant
portion
of
the
operating
budget.
On
that
fund
Source,
we
are
consolidating
or
proposing
to
consolidate
within
the
AOC,
leaving
the
Supreme
Court
specialty
court
and
Senior
judge
program
to
operate
fully
general
fund
and
have
at
least
that
stability
there.
D
Monthly
basis
and
then,
finally,
with
regard
to
stabilizing
what
we
need
to
do
as
a
branch
there's
a
decision
unit,
you'll
see
that
affects
a
number
of
things
but
e225
in
budget
account.
Pardon
me
budget
account
1483
requests
Staffing
in
order
to
separate
from
the
state's
accounting
and
HR
systems.
As
the
committee
I
believe
is
aware,
there
has
been
an
ongoing
migration
to
a
new
system
that
the
state
has
been
working
on
for
some
time,
as
the
judicial
branch
has
used
that
and
tried
to
use
it.
It
has
become
evident
that.
D
It
has
taken
much
more
work
than
it
is
needed
and
efficient,
and
so
on
the
surface
it
might
look
like
well,
this
isn't
making
us
any
more
efficient
because
you
need
more
positions
to
do.
It
I
believe
that,
even
if
we
were
not
separating
from
the
state,
I
would
still
need
this
staff
in
order
to
do
it
under
the
new
system.
So
I
I
see
it
as
a
wash
and
also
giving
the
branch
the
opportunity
to
act,
nimbly
and
efficiently
on
our
own.
D
D
The
next
big
piece
of
our
budget
is
a
compensation
classification
change
which
you'll
notice
in
the
base
decision
unit.
This
particular
this
particular
initiative
came
about,
has
been
coming
about
for
a
number
of
years
and
I'll
I'll
defer
to
Catherine
stocks
on
giving
you
more
details
as
to
how
we
came
here,
but
as
far
as
the
fiscal
impact
goes
it
does
contain.
It
does
result
in
about
an
additional
eight
and
a
half
million
dollars
of
general
fund,
and
this
is
for
this
is
for
staff
salaries.
This
is
not
for
the
judges.
D
The
judges
are
contained
within
the
other
bills,
which
we'll
we'll
talk
more
a
little
bit
about
later
on.
This
is
just
for
Supreme,
Court
and
court
of
appeals
staff
and
a
total.
A
total
budget
need
of
13
million
between
the
general
fund
and
and
the
other
fund
sources
within
our
budget.
D
D
As
some
of
you
may
recall,
in
2018,
the
legislature
approved
a
salary
study
for
the
non-judicial
staff
of
the
Supreme
Court
and
the
court
of
appeals
and
that
salary
study
was
brought
forth,
but
it
wasn't
acted
on.
We
then
actually
see
the
silver
lining
in
waiting
to
see
what
was
going
to
come,
because
that
actually
gave
us
the
ability
to
take
a
completely
Fresh,
Approach
and
say
well.
What
are
our
goals
here?
What
is
our?
What
is
our
vision?
D
What
are
we
trying
to
do
to
provide
services
to
the
people
of
the
state
of
Nevada,
and
is
our
current
structure
really
what's
going
to
be
able
to
get
there
and
is
it
going
to
align
with
what
was
requested
as
part
of
the
strategic
planning
process?
That's
when
we
started
to
realize
that
it
goes
Way
Beyond,
just
the
ability
to
recruit
and
recruit
and
retain
based
off
of
a
step
and
grade
system,
we
actually
tried
to
just
do
a
flat
increase
like
well
what
if
we
tried
to
just
do
a
cost
of
living?
D
What
would
that
look
like?
Well
with
the
state
system,
the
established
executive
branch
system
that
we
have
followed?
Traditionally
you
end
up
taking
your
lowest
paid
employees
up
into
the
grade
30s,
yet
it
still
doesn't
actually
meet
the
needs
of
a
flexible
employer
to
be
able
to
respond
to
the
realities
of
the
market
that
surrounds
us.
It's
my
understanding
that
10
years
ago
there
was
not
nearly
as
much
of
a
diversified
Market
of
employment
in
Nevada,
and
so
what
what
do
we
do
to
address
that
question?
D
Those
are
some
of
those
the
things
we
posed
when
we
were
trying
to
figure
this
out,
I
think
Todd,
Mr
Miler
probably
went
through
what
15
different
iterations
of
a
potential
classification
and
compensation
schedule
based
off
of
what
we
had
and
we
realized
that
it
just
didn't
work,
so
we
then
went
and
realized.
We
had
so
many
different
job
titles
that
were
specific.
F
To
one
core
duty
but
didn't
recognize
that
we
as
an
our
goal
is
to
be
an
employer
of
choice.
We
now
have
created
that
we
have
a
support,
tier,
a
professional
tier,
a
management
tier
and-
and
that
is
recognizing-
that
we
have
individuals
that
are
subject
matter.
Experts
in
the
various
issues
that
we
deal
with
and
are
required
to
deal
with
and
support,
but
they
might
not
necessarily
be
a
manager.
F
So
the
traditional
way
of
saying
well,
unless
you
have
direct
reports,
you
can't
move
up.
We
we
don't
feel
that
that
is
the
way
that
we
can
run
the
Judiciary
any
longer.
We
need
to
be
able
to
have
the
ability
to
say
you
know
what
your
subject
matter
expert
and
we
value
what
you're
going
to
bring
in
the
services
you're
going
to
provide,
and
so
we
created
that
track
that
doesn't
require
that
someone
be
a
manager
in
order
to
move
up.
F
I
get
a
little
passionate
about
this,
so
I
do
apologize.
I
haven't
seen
anyone
roll
their
eyes,
but
I've
gotten
a
couple
head
knots.
That's
right!
I
can't!
Oh!
So
if
you
roll
that
way
over
there,
oh
I
hear
oh
okay.
So
as
we
go
forward
since
this
is
an
introductory
one,
we're
happy
to
address
specific
questions
related
to
this.
But
we
have.
F
We
have
spent
a
lot
of
time
and
energy
related
to
this
and
will
provide
the
information
on
how
we
came
to
the
the
step
and
the
getting
out
of
the
step
and
grade
system
and
to
the
new
classification
and
compensation
schedule
as
part
of
the
materials
for
in
preparation
for
our
March
13th
hearing
did
I
miss
anything.
F
I
think
you
got
it
okay,
thank
you
all
right,
so
that
is
obviously
a
big
initiative
within
this
budget
and
and
we
do
appreciate
the
Committees
and
the
entire
legislature's
consideration
of
that
and
and
I
think.
Obviously,
it's
been
it's
been
presented
in
an
unorthodox
way.
F
F
We
do
have
other
budget
requests
in
which
you'll
see
as
I
mentioned
before
we
are
asking
for
new
positions,
a
total
of
32,
new
FTE
and
quite
a
few
of
those.
A
good
chunk
of
those
as
I
mentioned,
are
contained
in
the
aoc's
budget.
Account
1483.
10
of
them
are
auditors,
and
the
reason
why
we're
asking
for
10
Auditors
is
because
we
only
have
three
and
we
have
70
some
odd
trial
courts
around
the
limited
jurisdiction
courts
around
the
state.
F
Another
11
district
courts
around
the
state
and
it
is
a
best
practice
and
the
Supreme
Court
has
required
all
courts
to
be
audited
on
a
four-year
audit
cycle
to
help
them
be
protect
the
public
and
and
do
things
the
way
that
it
needs
to
be
done.
F
However,
with
three
Auditors
with
that
many
courts,
I
believe
our
time
between
visiting
each
court
if
we
remain
on
a
regular
schedule,
has
ballooned
to
32
plus
years
I.
Think
obviously,
32
years
between
an
audit
is
not
a
good
thing.
Many
people
change
over
lots
of
things
change
in
32
years.
Four
years
is
a
much
more
regular
and
acceptable
audit
cycle,
but
with
three
Auditors
it's
impossible
to
get
there.
F
We
need
many
more
so
we've
asked
for
10
and
we
believe
that,
though
it
will
still
take
time
to
get
that
down
to
four
years
with
10
new
Auditors.
We
believe
we'll
be
able
to
do
that.
So
we
really
appreciate
the
consideration
there
to
to
help
our
local
trial
courts
to
function
the
way
they
need
to
and
by
the
way
they
don't
just
audit
the
the
limiteds
and
the
and
the
general
jurisdiction
courts
in
the
state.
F
F
There
are
a
number
of
other
positions
requested
in
here.
I
would
highlight
just
a
few.
We
have
in
1484
JPS
a.
G
Family
court,
specialist
and
a
clerk
specialist-
these
are
specific
folks
that
have
been
asked
for
by
the
trial
courts
to
help
with
a
number
of
things
related
to
family
law
and
also
to
help
the
clerks,
particularly
coming
on
with
a
new
case
management
system,
to
help
them
function
at
a
high
level.
So
that
is
a
they
are
currently,
we
are
have
plans
to
bring
those
on
funded
with
arpa
dollars,
but
because
those
can't
really
be
used
after
December
31st
of
2024.
These
new
positions
are
slated
to
begin
January
1st
of
2025..
G
We
have
five
additional
trial
court
services,
I.T
positions
in
1486
usjr
again
the
support
that
the
local
courts
need
is
a
lot
right
now.
Our
trial
court
service
desk
only
has
three
people
and
for
that
many
trial
courts
across
the
state.
It's
not
enough.
We
need
to
grow
in
that
unit,
so
without
belaboring,
more
new
positions,
I
would
just
highlight
one
more
there's:
two
new
Marshall
positions.
What
we
found
and
and
I'm
I'm
sure
you
can
appreciate
the
the
need
for
security.
G
Our
you
know
we
have
within
our
buildings,
10
elected
officials
and
I
I'm
sure
you
can
appreciate
the
need
to
feel
safe
and
not
just
for
you,
but
for
your
staff,
and
what
we
found
in
in
looking
at
things
is
that
the
marshals
didn't
quite
have
enough
coverage
to
feel
safe,
and
so
we
appreciate
the
consideration
there.
Some
other
enhancements
of
note
I
would
highlight
the
audit
software
contained
in
1483
AOC,
as
I
mentioned.
We
need
to
get
that
audit.
H
Cycle
down
from
32
plus
years
to
four
one
of
the
things
that
we
need
in
order
to
do,
that
is
better
software
to
track
everything
that
the
local
trial
courts
submit
to
the
audit
Union
and
get
things
out
to
them,
Etc
schedule
in
calendaring
ETC,
and
we
think
we've
identified
a
possible
solution
there.
We
will
certainly
look
at
all
possible
solutions,
but
we
believe
we
can.
We
can
get
there
within
this
request.
H
Additionally
the
Supreme
Court
requires
that
it
go
through
an
independent
audit
every
four
years
that
is
also
contained
within
1483.
in
1494
Supreme
Court.
There
is
a
request
for
a
hybrid
training
facility.
This
is
the
vision,
is
to
have
a
centralized
place
where
not
only
judicial
education
can
use
it
to
provide
education
for
our
judges
across
the
state,
but
also
to
use
it
for
court
staff
across
the
state
to
help
come
in
and
have
a
centralized
place
where
they
can
learn
about
the
new
CMS.
That's
coming
out,
learn
about
the
e-file
system.
H
That's
coming
out
learn
about
civil
traffic
Etc,
and
that
would
we
anticipate
that
to
be
a
build
out
of
the
first
floor
of
the
Carson
City
Courthouse,
using
approximately
I,
think
half
of
the
footprint
that
is
currently
the
law
library
one
bonus
there.
I
think
that
the
committee
might
be
interested
in
is
that,
yes,
we
have
a
lot
of
need
for
that
in
the
judicial
branch,
but
we
can
and
will
make
that
available
to
other
state
cities
who
need
it
in
as
much
as
it
is
available.
H
It's
there.
Let's
use
it,
I'm
not
familiar
with
another
training
facility
within
the
state
of
Nevada,
like
the
one
we're
contemplating
here.
So
we
appreciate
the
consideration
there.
That's
all
I
had
on
other
budget
requests
go
ahead.
Thank
you.
Mr
Miler,
for
the
record,
John
McCormick
and
you'll
see
here
that
we
have
some
other
pending
legislation
that
was
meritorious
of
mentioned
for
this
hearing.
H
First
of
these
being
ab16,
as
the
Chief
Justice
indicated,
provides
a
cost
of
living
increase
for
Supreme,
Court,
Justices
and
court
of
appeals,
judges
and
ab15,
which
provides
that
cost
of
living
increase
to
the
district
court
judges.
What's
a
little
different
about
these
than
bills
you've
seen
before
is
it
contains
a
mechanism
that
mirrors
the
existing
mechanism
for
constitutional
officers
for
a
combined
coal
increase
at
the
end
of
their
term
So.
H
Currently,
as
as
the
governor,
every
term
gets
the
combined
colas
that
staff
got
during
the
term
that
that
would
conform,
the
judicial
positions
to
that
as
well
and
set
that
going
forward.
Then,
additionally,
we
have
Senate
Bill
63,
which
and
I
know
this
is
dangerous
to
say
it's
a
cleanup
bill
because
a
lot
of
times
we
say
things
are
cleanup
bills,
but
but
I
promise.
H
This
one
is
pretty
cleaning
uppy
if
I
can
use
that
as
a
official
term,
and
it
makes
bunch
of
changes
to
chapter
one
chapter,
two
to
sort
of
modernize
the
language.
You
know
not
talk
about
publishing
phone
numbers
in
the
telephone
book
anymore,
but
making
the
Court's
contact
information
available
to
the
constituents
through
whatever
electronic
means
are
available
and
that
type
of
stuff.
H
It
also
changes
a
a
Quirk
we
found
in
281,
where
it
still
refers
to
the
Supreme
Court
as
a
five-member
court,
which
has
not
been
the
case
for
quite
some
time
now.
So
those
are
the
other
sort
of
touch
on
financial
aspects.
Legislation
we
have
in
addition
to
the
the
Supreme
Court
bills
that
will
be
heard
by
the
policy
committees.
H
Mr
McCormick
Lydia
stiglitz
for
the
record.
I
know
it
might
not
feel
like
it
right
now,
but
these
are
really
interesting
and
exciting
times
and
they
are
for
for
the
Judiciary
covid
caused
us
to
re-examine
the
way
we
do
business.
The
way
we
deliver
services
to
constituents,
the
way
that
we
interact
with
trial
courts,
so
were
there
exciting
times
and
exciting
times
or
opportunity
and
opportunities
to
better
serve
so
we've
really
drilled
down
on
here
on
our
budget.
We
are,
we
have
a
large
percentage
of
our
budget,
that's
funded
by
administrative
assessments.
H
Now
we
have
in
2019
Marcy's
law
which
changed
the
order
in
which
those
are
collected,
covid,
where
collections
still
have
not
recovered
and
civil
traffic,
which
has
yet
to
be
determined
on
how
that
how
that
is
going
to
affect
that
funding
source
so
that
funding
source
is
uncertain
and
it's
a
large
part
of
our
budget,
and
we
feel
like
we
can
do
it
with
this
assistance.
With
these,
these
statutory
changes
that
we're
asking
to
manage
to
manage
the
money
still
under
the
the
tillage
of
the
legislature
and
the
oversight
of
the
legislature.
H
F
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
I
I
appreciate
the
passion
and
the
arguments
that
are
being
presented,
but
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
so
on
SB
58
that
you
explained
and
not
trying
to
go
super
deep,
but
I
guess,
what's
bothering
me,
is
the
statement
about
constitutional
Independence
and
I
feel
like
I
guess
being
in
the
building
for
so
long
when,
when
there
is
a
discussion
about
encroaching
upon
powers
that
the
legislature
has,
it
worries
me
right
because
I
went
while
you
were
speaking
and
I
looked
at
article
6,
section,
10.
F
and
so
I
I
want
to
hear
from
you
about
how
a
provision
in
your
bill
where
it
allows
you
to
eliminate
the
percentages
and
then
determine
on
your
own
the
percentages,
how
that's
not
a
violation
of
article
6,
section
10,
which
prevents
you
from
determining
fees
for
your
own
use.
This
is
constitutional
and
then
article
6,
section
15
and
then
section
16,
which
basically
says
that
all
compensation
is
law
right.
So
that
is
in
the
Wheelhouse
of
the
legislature
to
then
determine
through
law
through
statutory
change.
What
is
it?
F
Compensation
is
going
to
be
right
and
it's
very
specific
that
it
says
it
doesn't
allow
changes
within
the
term
to
be
increased
or
decreased
unless
by
law,
and
so
what
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
is.
Why
would
we
give
power
that
we
have
for
ourselves
away
to
to
the
Judiciary,
when
the
Constitution
is
really
clear
that
it
is
law
that
is
created
by
the
legislature?
F
That's
what
I'm
trying
to
understand
I
understand
the
argument
that's
being
made
historically
and
the
change,
but
you
can't
have
constitutional
Independence
when
certain
powers
have
already
been
delineated
to
the
legislature
right.
This
isn't
an
encroachment
it
is.
It
is
the
separation
that
is
established
by
the
Constitution
and
so
help
me
understand
those
Provisions
in
relationship
to
the
bill
and
what
you
thought
through
all
right.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Senator
Lydia
stiglitz
for
the
record.
You
know
turn
to
Mr
McCormick
to
get
the
specifics.
F
Legislature
has
the
power
of
the
purse,
so,
if
you
think
of
it
as
a
purse,
that's
given
to
us
when,
as
the
legislation
currently
stands
or
the
statutes
currently
stand,
it's
very
delineated.
It's
two
within
the
AOC
two
percent
to
this
program:
eight
percent
to
this
program:
six
percent.
So
it's
a
purse
with
a
bunch
of
zippers
and
what
we
found
is.
We
have
no
ability
to
be
flexible
within
that
purse
that
you've
provided
to
move
money
where
it
might
be
needed.
F
So,
instead
of
of
reverting
something,
that's
here
why
we
are
simultaneously
coming
to
you
asking
to
fill
a
hole
over
here.
It
would
allow
us
to
have
the
authority
to
move
within
that
in
some
instances.
So
that's
that's
kind
of
the
broad,
the
higher
level
but
Mr
McCormick
I'll
turn
to
you
for
some
more
details.
Thank
you,
Chief
again,
John
McCormick
for
the
record.
F
As
far
as
the
Constitutional
Provisions
administrative
assessments,
which
I
think
we're
referring
to
by
the
percentage
breakdown
here,
is
that
percentage
breakdown,
176059
administrative
assessments,
don't
provide
judicial
compensation,
so
I
think
they
don't
necessarily
touch
on
that
that
constitutional
provision
that
provides
that
aspect
and
also
those
fees
are
set
in
176.059
by
the
legislature.
It's
further
down
in
the
statute,
where
it's
the
percentages
that
go
to
the
AOC
can
be
used
for
X,
Y
and
Z
purposes.
F
So
I
think
that
removing
those
percentages
just
provides
that
money
to
the
AOC
to
to
do
those
explicit
statutory
authorized
purposes,
but
not
at
a
percentage
level,
and
it's
not
seeding
legislative
authority
to
create
fees
because
those
fees
are
set
that
in
statute,
as
well
as
the
use
of
those
fees.
What
this
does
is
just
remove
percentage
set
asides
for
like
judicial
education,
specialty
courts,
the
operation
of
the
AOC
and
the
senior
judge
program,
and
rather
than
say
you
know,
X
percent
goes
to
this
program.
F
It
allows
the
court
to
move
money
around
for
those
various
purposes,
but
not
at
the
percentage
level
that
exists
in
the
current
statute.
So
it's
not
a
the
judicial
branch
in
in
this
situation
is
not
setting
fees.
It's
just
sort
of
moving
the
the
fee
money
around
to
meet
the
existing
need,
as
established
by
Statute
and
again
AAS.
H
Compensation,
thank
you
for
that
response.
I
understand
what
you're
saying,
and
this
will
I'm
not
on
probably
I'm,
not
on
I've,
never
served
on
the
committee
that
this
bill
is
probably
going
to
go
to.
But
the
reversion
is
a
problem,
the
determination
of
your
own,
the
determination.
Then
it
becomes
a
power
that
shifted
from
us.
H
H
H
For
the
record,
Todd
Miller
CFO,
thank
you
for
the
question
that
has
varied
year
to
year.
I
I
I
would
need
to
probably
get
back
and
look
at
a
historical
to
to
kind
of
get
you
a
realistic
picture
of
what
it
is.
H
H
Yes,
is
there
any
way
you
can
get
us
the
information
on
what
like,
if
all
of
the
money
that
you
are
so
siled
I
guess
into
like
spending
in
certain
categories?
H
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and,
and
thank
you
for
being
here
and
presenting
I,
had
a
question
regarding
the
independent
Audits
and
the
proposal
for
new
looks
like
there's
going
to
be
about
10
new
Auditors.
You
currently
have
three
and
I
believe
you
said,
there's
a
32-year
backlog
or
it
would
take
32
years
to
catch
up
with
the
current
staff,
and
so
my
question
is:
is
it
rather
than
hiring
10
new
Auditors?
Have
you
guys
considered
actually
going
out
to
a
third
party
vendor
to
get
an
actual
independent
audit,
so
you
guys
could
play
catch-up.
H
I
know:
we've
used
some
audit
fund
or
some
arpa
funds
to
to
do
some
of
that.
I.
Don't
know
if
you
guys
have
arpa
funds
available
for
that,
but
to
me
that
would
seem
like
a
better
way
of
playing
catch-up
and
then
figuring
out
exactly
how
much
staff
you
would
need
going
forward,
and
then
that
would
be
my.
My
second
question
is:
is
of
these
10
new
positions?
If
you
used
a
third
party
to
play
catch-up,
how
many
would
you
actually
need
going
forward
to
stay
up
with
the
workload
foreign?
H
Thank
you
for
that
question.
Catherine
stocks
for
the
record,
we
actually
did
request
exactly
what
you
just
proposed
in
our
slfrf
overall
request
that
we
sent
to
the
gfo
we
asked
it.
We
asked
for
those
contract
Auditors
to
try
to
catch
up,
and
we
will
be
happy
to
provide
you
that
information
provide
the
committee
the
information
about
that
proposal.
Those
funds
were
not
provided
as
part
of
our
total
request
and,
and
then
your
question
on
that,
if
we
are
happy
wait,
chief
justice
am
I
allowed
to
say.
H
F
Be
available
to
execute
that
initial
catch-up
audit,
one
of
the
biggest
nuances
that
comes
with
hiring
a
firm
to
come
in
and
do
those
audits,
is
that
a
standard
Gap
audit
doesn't
necessarily
Identify
some
of
the
issues
related
to
the
processes
procedures
in
a
trial
court.
So
we
have
a
set
of
standards.
F
That
court
ordered
minimum
accounting
standards
that
the
trial
courts
are
required
to
follow
and
also
the
specialty
courts,
and
so
there
is
a
a
point
of
time
and
a
a
specific
amount
of
training
that
can
go
into
getting
an
auditor
up
to
speed
when
they
go
in
and
look
into
a
case
management
system,
as
I
said
we're
decentralized.
We
have
15
different
case
management
systems
that
are
deployed
in
the
state,
and
so
there
is
a
a
learning
curve
for
an
auditor
to
understand
how
that
case
management
system
works
to
understand.
F
If
the
information,
if
money
is
going
into
trust
and
being
held
appropriately,
those
kind
of
situations
do
take
a
little
bit
of
time.
So
going
back
to
the
idea
of
the
Silver
Lining,
while
we
would
really
like
to
have
the
contractors
part
of
that
knowledge
transfer
might
be
lost,
then
if
we
switch
to
FTE
but
I,
think
it's
a
really
good
discussion
for
us
to
have
about
how
we
could
potentially
move
forward.
I
did
notice.
The
IFC
had
approved
FTE
for
some
executive
branch
agencies,
instead
of
requiring
that
it
be
contractor.
F
So
if
we
could
even
get
off
the
ground
with
an
initial
amount
and
provide
a
proposal
of
this
is
what
we
think
it
would
take
to
get
caught
up
and
then
go
into
that
cycle
and
show
this
would
be
the
FTE
level
that
we
would
need
once
we.
If
we
had
that
big
push
and
it
would,
it
would
show
that
you
wouldn't
maintain
all
those
staff,
but
you
could
drop
off,
but
that
really
would
be.
F
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
so,
regarding
the
audits,
you
know
we've
done
something
like
that
before
when
we
had
a
backlog
on
data
information
that
needed
to
be
uploaded
for
criminal
background
checks.
I
know
we
gave
him
like
a
bolster
of
funds
to
be
able
to
clean
it
up
and
then
move
on
from
there
going
back
to
your
stabilization
account
or
the
proposal
I'm
thinking
that
the
state
provides
operating
funds
but
does
not
provide
funds
for
your
buildings
and
maintenance
and
so
forth.
F
And
one
of
the
examples
that
you
have
here
is
like
an
HVAC
system,
so
I
think,
if
you're
to
propose
something
like
that,
it
probably
has
to
be
specific
about
what
type
of
expenses
you'll
have
and
then,
if
you
were
to
look
at
our
stabilization
accounts,
most
of
them
have
a
cap.
So
you
can
fill
a
bucket
up
to
so
many
dollars
and
then
it
reverts
and
then
also
the
ability
to
sweep
it.
F
So
if
we
have
Reserve
accounts
places
and
we
have
an
economic
downturn,
we're
always
able
to
sweep
reserves,
so
just
some
thoughts
on
that
and
so
I
I,
the
actual
build
number.
If
you
have
a
bill,
number
wasn't
mentioned
in
the
last
part
of
your
slide.
So
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
if
the
Bill's
been
drafted
or
not.
But
those
were
some
questions.
I
guess
some
ideas
and
some
questions
I
had
thank
you.
F
F
F
Thank
you.
Madam
chair
I.
Just
had
a
quick
question
about
I
noticed
you
discussed
education
and
increased
staff
for
that
I
know.
There's
also
there's
been
in
particular
a
lot
of
discussion
about
increasing
education
on
water
issues
among
the
court.
So
I
was
just
wondering
if
you
could
speak
a
little
bit
to
that
and
if
that
is
part
of
what's
contemplated
in
that
aspect
of
your
budget.
Thank
you,
solelyman
John
McCormack,
for
the
record.
F
Currently,
we
actually
were
working
with
the
state
Engineer's
office
and
have
a
separate
commission
examining
water
lawn
coming
up
with
best
practices.
We
partnered
with
the
national
judicial
College
they've
done
some
educational
and
water
law,
but
creating
those
additional
positions,
as
well
as
the
training
facility,
gives
us
a
space
where
we
can
regularly
produce
that
content.
People
can
come
here,
we're
not
going
out
to
look
for
a
venue
to
do
it.
It
will
also
greatly
enhance
our
ability
to
produce
distance
education
content
for
not
only
judges.
F
You
know
if
it's
water,
specific
or
bail
or
whatever
the
issue
may
be,
but
also
to
boost
our
offerings
for
court
staff
because,
as
as
Catherine
indicated
during
the
strategic
planning
process,
that's
a
gap
that
was
identified
across
the
state.
You
know
so
so
again,
it
will
will
enable
that
education
and
information
and
as
you're
aware
education
is
required
by
supreme
court
order
as
well
as
statute,
so
but
yes
and
we're
working
on
water
stuff.
F
Thank
you
chair
you,
you
may
have
kind
of
touched
on
this
a
little
bit.
It
is
back
to
the
audits.
Are
they
strictly
Gap
audits,
Financial
audits,
or
is
there
also
included
in
that
judicial
processes,
compliance
with
regulation,
if
you
could
just
touch
on
that
a
little
bit?
F
Thank
you,
assemblywoman
Catherine
stocks
for
the
record.
Yes,
that
is
part
of
the
audit
process,
especially
related
to
data
Gathering
and
and
compliance
with
the
statutory
requirements
to
be
able
to
produce
data.
That
leads
to
the
annual
report
that
we
are
required
by
Statute
to
produce.
G
Parties
to
then
scheduling
hearings
and
actually
how
then
it's
adjudicated.
Those
are
part
of
the
questions
that
are
asked,
which
does
take
a
little
bit
more
time,
but
it
ends
up
yielding
better
results,
because
then
courts
are
able
to
realize
where
a
particular
process
might
impact
your
a
traditional
phone
call
over
the
phone.
Well,
how
does
that
look
as
far
as
ensuring
that
we're
having
Financial
controls
in
place?
So
yes,
and
if
you
would
like
more
information,
I'm
happy
to
have
our
auditor
follow
up.
That
makes
sense.
G
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
you
know
not
really
so
much
a
question
but
just
wanted
to
comment
on
the
administrative
assessment
fees
and
and
to
recognize
justice
Hardesty,
because
I
think
as
long
as
he's
been
in
this
building
he's
been
shouting
from
the
rooftops
about
the
instability
of
that
funding,
and
you
know
I
think
that's.
G
At
least
10
years
he's
been
saying
that
so
I'm
just
happy
that
we're
finally
moving
away
from
that,
both
in
your
proposal
and
the
governor's
proposal
and,
in
addition,
I
think,
with
respect
to
the
independence
of
the
Judiciary.
It
always
struck
me
as
potentially
problematic
that
courts
were
assessing
fines
and
fees
to
defendants
that
were
then
used
for
the
Court's
budget.
So
I'm
just
I'm
really
happy
that
we're
getting
away
from
that
and
just
wanted
to
make
that
comment
and
also
recognize
Justice
Hardesty,
who
hopefully
is
on
vacation
somewhere,
not
watching
this
hearing.
G
Thank
you
very
much,
I'm
sure
he's
taken
this
all
in
any
additional
questions
from
the
committee.
D
Assemblyman
O'neill,
thank
you,
I
appreciate
it
on
your
salary
increases.
I've
noticed
several
times.
Like
your
law
clerks,
you
mentioned
a
maximum
salary
of
ninety
five
thousand
dollars.
What's
the
range
that
you
currently
have
form,
and
what
are
you
going
to
95
is
a
nice
maximum,
but
what's
the
Ranger,
certainly
actually
our
law
clerks
are
single
term.
D
They
don't
accrue
benefits
right
now,
they're
at
65
on
employee
employer,
okay,
approximately
70
according
to
the
CFO,
so
actually,
where
that
number
came
from
is
because
that
was
part
of
our
study
across
the
state
and
in
National
positions
working
in
Supreme
Courts,
but
that
is
a
standard
salary
for
both
Washoe
I.
Don't
have
the
number
before
me.
What
I
can
do
is
actually
follow
up
and
give
you
that
concrete
example
of
that
survey
that
we
did
because
I
don't
want
to
miss
State
for
the
record.
D
But
it
is
important
to
to
note
that
that
is
employee
employer
paid
not
accruing
the
benefits,
and
so
even
if
it
is
set
at
the
same
as
the
Washo
amount.
That
doesn't
include
the
purse
so
you're
already
taking
depending
how
that
looks
after
this
session,
whether
it's
maintaining
in
the
15s
or
whether
that
goes
to
17
off.
But.
I
Certainly
so,
when
you
look
at
that,
the
stagnation
of
cost
of
living
increases
and
raises
for
employees
one
of
the
biggest
trick
well,
difficulties
with
this
is
that
we
actually
looked
at
executive
branch.
We
didn't
know
what
the
executive
branch
was
going
to
propose
so
without
knowing
what
that
was
going
to
be.
It
brings
forward
conversations,
but
I
think
Justice
stiglitz
might
be
able
to
State
it
better
than
I
am
right
now,
I,
don't
know
about
that.
I
Lydia
Stigler
for
the
record
to
recruit
and
retain
law
clerks
who
are
integral
to
the
processes
of
the
Supreme
Court.
We
compete
as
you
might
imagine.
We
compete
nationally.
We
compete
locally,
so
a
law
clerk
at
just,
for
instance,
Washoe
at
the
Washoe
Court,
the
Second
Judicial
District
Court.
Can
you
press
your
button?
It
is
so
a
law
clerk
at
the
Washoe
district
court.
Again
they
their
purrs,
are
paid
fully.
I
So
when
I
came
over
from
the
second
JD
I
brought
my
law
Clerk
and
my
law
clerk
took
a
fifteen
thousand
dollar
pay
cut
to
come
clerk
at
the
Supreme
Court.
Now
she
came
anyway
bless
her
and
I
was
grateful,
but
in
terms
of
trying
to
compete
again
nationally
and
locally,
that's
kind
of
where
the
number
the
number
landed
and
and
certainly
we're
open.
You
know
to
to
feedback.
We've
tried
to
do
the
leg
work
and
we
appreciate
that's
all
over.
I
Everyone
has
difficulty,
you
know
with
Recruitment
and
Retention,
even
in
this
changing
labor
market,
but
that's
one
of
the
kind
of
immediate
problems
that
that
we're
facing
in
terms
of
getting
people
to
come
and
I
appreciate
that,
but
I'm
all
the
Departments
and
the
governors
everybody's
trying
to
compete
right
now
with
Clark
and
Washoe
County.
Maybe
the
solution
is
we
don't
allow
Warsaw
and
Clark
to
pay
what
they're,
paying
and
restrict
them
is
what
I
hear
we
all
made
choices?
Your
clerk
made
a
choice
to
come
work
for
you.
D
Had
working
for
the
state
that
I
enjoyed
and
that's
why
I
stayed
with
them
for
30
years,
knowing
the
pay
difference,
so
I
just
wanted
to
look
at
what
that
difference
is
trying
to
keep
it
in
agreement
with
what
the
classified
employees
are.
Looking
at,
too,
we've
got
to
stay
fair,
I
believe
across
the
board
and
standardize
so
I
appreciate
that
the
other
question,
if
I
may
ask
one
other
question,
sure
please
and
then
we'll
finish
up.
D
Okay
AOC
is
what
are
they
doing
to
assist
the
rural
counties
in
their
bail
issues
on
the
48
hours.
D
Thank
you,
John
McCormick,
for
the
record.
Unfortunately,
what
we
found
with
rural
counties
and
dealing
with
48-hour
bail
hearings
is
it's
generally
a
lack
of
of
lawyers,
either
on
the
the
district
attorney
or
the
Public
Defense
side.
You
know
we
have
extend
and
continue
to
try
to
extend.
G
G
Thank
you,
John
McCormick
for
the
record.
Yes,
traditionally
we're
we're,
obviously
a
decentralized
Judiciary
and
those
resources,
particularly
from
the
district
attorney.
The
public
defender
side
are
provided
by
the
county.
You
know
we
at
the
AOC
are
unable
to
say
you
shall
to
a
county.
Obviously,
so
we
again
have
provided
education
for
the
judges
using
our
judicial
education
department.
G
You
know
and
those
type
of
things,
but
ultimately
we
can
get
it's
down
to
it.
We
just
the
resources,
may
not
currently
exist
and
not
not
disparaging
the
counties
paying
for
it,
but
like
there
aren't
people
who
live
in
some
of
the
communities
to
do
that
legal
work.
G
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
I'd
like
to
thank
all
of
you
for
being
here
today
with
us.
We
appreciate
the
information
and
the
overview
and
please
don't
hesitate
to
reach
out
to
committee
members
if
you
have
to
give
them
more
additional
information
at
some
point,
Thank
you
very
much
and
we
will
move
on
to
our
next
agenda
item.
Thank
you.
I
On
the
agenda
is
the
Department
of
Public,
Safety
and
I
see
director
tagliotti
in
the
audience,
so
you
may
bring
your
team
forward
and
please
begin
your
presentation
when
you're
ready.
J
F
Is
Kim
Smith,
who
is
our
public
information
officer?
All
three
have,
along
with
our
staff
and
who
are
in
the
audience,
have
done
a
really
great
job
and
put
a
lot
of
time
into
this
presentation.
In
fact,
our
biggest
challenge
was
making
sure
we
could
keep
it
within
the
time
frame,
so
without
any
further
Ado
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Sherry
and
she'll
begin
the
slide
presentation.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
and
welcome.
J
Will
skip
through
a
lot
of
slides?
So
don't
don't
worry,
but
I
will
leave
enough
time
for
you
to
ask
questions
as
needed
and
we'll
be
happy
to
answer
them
at
the
end.
K
Where
we're
going
to
call
it
the
Make,
It
or
Break
It,
so
if
we
can't
start
stopping
the
bleeding
this
year,
we're
not
sure
we'll
be
around
by
next
year
and
having
just
listened
to
the
last
presentation,
I
imagine
you're
going
to
be
hearing
this
all
day
and
probably
all
week,
I
haven't
listened
to
them
all,
but
why
you've
seen
and
heard
about
the
shortage
of
Troopers?
You
may
not
realize
that
our
parole
and
probation
has
been
facing
the
same
hardship.
K
It's
been
very
difficult
and
parole
and
probation
kind
of
has
a
lower
profile,
but
our
concern
is
is
the
case.
Loads
are
so
high.
Now
they
couldn't
possibly
be
managed.
Well,.
K
H
For
Otis,
that's
parole
and
probations
management
system,
we're
pleased
to
say
it
is
back
on
track
and
we
hope
that
it
will
be
installed
and
on
maintenance
by
this
coming
biennium
in
sieges,
modernization
as
well.
This
has
been
funded
as
you'll
see
later
on
by
arpa
funds
instead
of
General
funds,
but
it
should
be
wrapping
up
its
initial
installation
and
use
for
all
the
counties,
this
biennium
and
then
start
in
its
maintenance
mode
and
then
finally,
I
want
to
touch
on
our
state
headquarters.
Building
and
lab
that
we
have
proposed.
H
H
This
is
our
separated
versus
higher
higher
ratio,
and
the
point
that
we're
trying
to
make
is
how
we
are
hiring
versus
the
loss
and
we're
at
about
half
and
as
that
continues,
it
will
continue
to
have
and
have,
and
our
very
large
concern
is,
is
that
the
agency,
as
it
exists
today
may
not
in
a
couple
years
and
I
know
I'm
sounding
gloom
and
doom.
You
know
I
and
I
know
the
passion.
H
Is
there
too,
and
you've
heard
all
that
before
too,
but
our
officers
are
tired
and
weary
and
I
do
worry
that
any
kind
of
offer
from
another
agency,
whether
it
be
Metro,
Washoe,
Sparks,
they're
gone,
especially
if,
after
this
legislation,
something
isn't
done
for
them.
H
The
next
page
includes
vacancy
rate
by
division,
in
most
cases
we're
in
a
difficult
situation,
not
only
with
our
sworn
staff,
but
with
our
administrative
staff
as
well.
Our
fiscal
staff
is
getting
to
be
almost
non-existent.
Thank
God
for
Curtis,
but
our
PNP
division
has
virtually
no
fiscal
staff
left
out
of
a
total
about
ten
eight.
H
L
Is
actually
just
the
officers
as
you
can
see,
our
total
vacancy
rate
for
our
officers
is
32
percent,
making
it
really
hard
to
complete
our
missions.
L
L
G
In
the
yellow
you're
going
to
see
that
we
have
our
dispatchers
and
our
admin
staff
and
considering
how
many
we
have
and
the
vacancies
there,
it's
amazing
that
we
managed
to
answer
the
phone
at
any.
L
Given
time,
then
in
blue,
you
see
the
accounting
folks
and
again
looking
at
those
percentages
and
vacancies
I'm
just
glad
we
were
able
to
present
some.
M
G
So
why
is
DPS
facing
a
recruitment
challenge?
Well,
the
pictures
you
see
are
not
from
DPS,
but
those
are
local
law
enforcement.
Ads
DPS
couldn't
acquire
our
perform
funds
for
advertising
and
marketing,
and
the
department
had
to
use
forfeiture
funds
for
a
one
and
only
test
billboard
and
then
last
January
or
February
President
Biden
added
uses
for
the
arpa
funds
to
allow
law
enforcement
to
have
a
sorry,
I
lost
my
place.
G
N
H
Are
again
the
reason
for
the
issue
that
we
have
remember
that
this
is
an
issue
Across
the
Nation
the
world,
in
fact,
and
the
pay
issue
is
always
going
to
be
an
issue
to
the
smallest
fish
in
the
pool.
So
as
long
as
Washoe
Metro,
Henderson,
Sparks
Carson
all
offer
competitive
wages
with
each
other,
there's
not
a
whole
lot
of
movement,
but
when
we
are
25
behind
there's
a
lot
of
movement
and
it's
all
one
way.
H
So
the
first
slide
you
see
here
is
the
Nevada
State
Police,
starting
with
officer
all
the
way
up,
comparing
to
Las
Vegas
Metro.
There's
a
this
is
using
just
pay
policy
3,
which
is
pers
paid.
The
purpose
for
that
is
to
compare
wages
only
and
take
pers
out
of
the
equation.
Most
law
enforcement
agencies
have
their
purrs
paid
by
the
counties,
and
so
the
only
way
to
even
compare
apples
to
apples
is
use
pay
policy
3
for
our
officers,
at
any
rate,
you'll
see
on
this
page
that
Metro
offers
about
55
percent
more
in
pay.
N
The
next
page
is
Henderson
offering
30
percent
more.
The
next
page
is
Clark
County
school
department.
They
even
make
31.
A
More
and
then
North
Las.
O
Vegas
28
percent,
more
and
Washoe
County,
49
percent,
more
Carson,
35
percent,
more
and
Reno
is
40,
more
Sparks
41.
O
So
if
you
look
at
all
of
the
Southern
Nevada
local
law
enforcement,
they've
always
made
significantly
more,
and
so,
if
you
take
that
average
of
all
of
them,
including
the
lower
paid
ones,
it's
about
24
percent
difference
in
Pay.
Unfortunately,
that's
where
our
largest
base
is
too.
P
That
include
is
31
and
then
the
central
Nevada
averages
of
17.
All
of
all,
all
all
of
them.
This
entire
State
average
is
24
more
than
the
department
is
making
right
now
and
while
we
appreciate
and.
H
So
the
problem
in
the
end
is
while
we
don't
quite
make
it
to
the
25
24
increase.
Now
it's
going
to
multiply
over
the
biennia
again
and
we're
going
to
find
ourselves
in
the
same
situation
other
than
the
colas
offered
to
all
the
other
state
employees,
not
that
I
have
a
problem
with
that
law.
Enforcement
has
not
received
any
kind
of
increase
since
2005.
H
The
next
page
is
kind
of
a
segue
into
a
career
life.
This
is
Charlie,
he
retired
with
29
years
in
as
a
law
enforcement
officer,
and
we
have
fewer
and
fewer.
H
H
D
This
is
Washoe,
I'm,
sorry
there's
another
CBA.
We
are
1.1
million
dollars
away
from
a
captain.
D
So
I
think
you
got
my
point:
that's
what
I
was
gonna
flip
through
we,
we,
as
a
state
officers,
are
competing
with
the
local
law
enforcement.
Unfortunately,
it's
just
the
way
it
is
and
to
be
able
to
not
lose
them.
We
have
to
be.
We
have
to
have
a
more
competitive
pay
and
Benefit
Plan,
but
I'm
sure
you
want
to
know
what
we're
trying
to
do
about
it,
where
we
can
so
I've
got
in
here.
D
P
And
then,
on
the
next
page
you
have
our
Northern
Nevada,
recruiter,
Elaine
and
he's
been
wonderful,
he's
been
with
us
along
us,
our
first
Southern
Nevada,
recruiter
by
the
way
left
us
to
go
to
Metro.
So
we
are
doing
a
lot
of
things
to
try
and
move
things
along.
P
We
do
the
polygraph
first
now
in
the
backgrounds,
and
that
has
definitely
made
a
difference.
We
no
longer
have
background
backlogs.
P
We
provide
conditional
offers
earlier
in
the
process.
Pending
outcomes
of
tests
Etc,
we
have
a
lateral
Matrix.
So
if
somebody
is
already
in
their
Elco,
for
instance,
they're
an
officer
been
there
six
years,
we
have
a
matrix
that
says
they
can
come
over
with
us
at
a
higher
rate
than
just
the
ones.
G
Are
new
recruitment
officers
have
really
pushed
on
the
mentorship
program?
I've
been
working
out
with
people.
Individuals
Doug
has
been
actually
testing
pre-testing
with
people
who
are
worried
about
the
physical
fitness
tests,
so
he
works
out
with
them
individually
at
their
need.
He,
he
they're
all
very,
very
busy
and
very
creative
in
where
they
go
and
who
they
talk
to
I
couldn't
have
been
more
pleased
with
with
those
folks
they've
just
done
such
a
wonderful
job
at
getting
our
name
out
there.
P
Another
one
was
help
with
skill
Bridge,
which
is
the
national
Department
of
Defense
program.
G
And
that's
to
help
veterans
coming
out
of
the
military
get
placed
in
a
job,
so
our
benefit
is.
Is
we
go
ahead
and
interview
them
six
to
nine
months
before
they
come
out
of
the
military
and
if
they'll
fit
in
any
of
our
positions,
including
sworn
positions,
then
the
last
six
months
they're
scheduled
to
work
for
us
and
the
federal
government
is
taking
paying
the
bill.
So
by
the
end
of
it,
we've
got
an
employee
who's
trained
and
assuming
they
do
a
good
job.
A
Now,
through
the
skill
bridge
program,
we
did
create
a
new
career
and
recruiting
website
and
we
do
have
virtual
information
videos
on
how
to
prepare
for
the
tests
of
all
the
physical
fitness
stats
Etc.
A
So
now
the
department
detail,
we
are
in
the
parole
and
probation,
and
normally
we
talk
about
the
m200s,
which
are
the
adjustments
to
the
case
loads
with
jfa.
That
is
the
Institute
that
provides
our
projection
on
the
offenders
coming
in
and
out
of
prison,
Etc,
so
m201
projects
that
that
there
would
have
been
a
loss
of
Officer
or
not
officers.
Q
Q
Ty
Jones
who's
still
with
us
yay
and
the
list
of
asks
for
the
PNP
office.
We
are
looking
at
re-establishing
the
division,
state-funded
house
arrest
program
and
that
was
cut
during
covid
and
it's
a
wonderful
intermediate
sanction
for
the
parole
and
probation
violators
to
avoid
reincarn
reincarnation,
reincarceration.
Q
And
it's
certainly
less
expensive
than
leaving
them
in
jail
or
putting
them
in
jail,
and
the
next
decision
unit
we
wanted
to
highlight
is
in
fact
the
two
grade
increase
for
the
DPS
officers
and
sergeants
that
the
governor
recommended
and
we
have
included
our
amendment
to
increase
that
to
all
officers
of
all
ranks.
Q
We're
hoping
with
parole
and
probation
the
next
item
is
Otis
again
and
I.
Think
I
touched
on
that
earlier.
That's
our
management
system
that
we
have
been
desperately
waiting
for
and
hoping
that
it
will
be
in
existence
before
our.
S
But
everything's
looking
good
with
a
new
vendor
and
we're
on
track.
We
should
even
see
I
think
the
whole
thing
up
and
working
around
December
there
and
yes,
okay,
oh,
and
that
was
Jess.
Who
was
an
officer
at
the
time.
The
picture
that
you
see
working
with
one
of
her
clients
she's,
now
been
promoted
to
a
sergeant
and
works
on
our
recruiting
team.
S
The
next
slide
is
again
some
statistics
that
you
can
appreciate
it
because
comprised
of
the
various
types
of
supervision,
parole,
probation
lifetime
supervision,
sex
offenders,
and
then
we
also
have
conditionally
released
inmates.
But
it's
such
a
small
population.
It's
not
represented
well
in
these
charts.
S
S
We
do
have
five
retirees
who've
come
back
out
to
help
us
with
caseloads
and
extraditions,
but
unfortunately
it's
just
a
drop
in
the
bucket
sergeants
are
having
to
perform
officer
duties
such
as
intakes
and
officer
supervision
and
we're
paying
tens
of
thousands
of
dollars
a
month
and
over
time,
just
keep
things
afloat.
S
Some
of
our
rural
officers
look
better
than
others.
However,
these
values
do
not
account
for
all
the
windshield
time
that
they
face
traveling
to
the
offenders,
meaning
that
they
are
driving
so
far
to
all
their
locations.
They
lose
time
and
can't
handle
the
same
caseload
as
we
would
in,
for
instance,
a
city
area.
S
So
the
rural
officers
strive
for
a
0.8
caseload,
meaning
that
if
all
the
matrices
are
done
right,
we
allow
them
two
tenths
of
a
percent
just
because
of
their
drive
time
next
slide.
S
I
believe
that
they
have
been
trying
to
make
sure
that
everybody
understands
a
volume
that
they're
dealing
with
foreign
and
next
we
have
Highway
Patrol
and
that's
Ashley,
our
Southern
command
Pio
for
Highway,
Patrol
and
again
Public
Safety
at
in
total,
but
Highway
Patrol
specifically
is
requesting
the
two
grade
increase
as
the
governor
has
requested
and
then
again
we're
preparing
an
amendment
to
make
that
all
law
enforcement.
S
With
the
addition
of
28
sworn
positions,
we
have
several
highways
well,
I
mean
the
idea
that
we're
24
7
on
the
highways
is
is
just
not
true
at
all.
In
fact,
it's
it's
rare,
especially
outside
the
cities,
so
this
is
for
Highway
I-15
and
which
one
80.
S
thank
you
to
expand
our
coverage
to
get
close
to
24
24
7
coverage
on
those
roads
due
to
the
fatalities
that
have
happened
and,
following
on
the
very
last
item
here,
you'll
see
the
saffing
study
that
is
expected
to
go
on
during
this
biennium
so
that
we
can
determine
if
that
will
be
enough.
S
We
have
added
a
few
people
for
management,
analysts
and
Fleet
and
radio
positions
that
will
centralize,
especially
the
radios.
We
have
new
Radio
Systems
coming
on
over
the
biennium
and
then
e725
we
had
requested
last
year,
but
it
didn't
quite
make
it
not
last
year,
last
biennium
and
these
are
oral
fluid
testing
equipment
for
the
roadside
and
that's
to
determine
if
it's
not
alcohol,
for
instance,
if
they
pull
somebody
over
suspect
them
of
a
DUI
and
they
end
up
blowing
no
alcohol,
it
doesn't
mean
they're
not
under
the
influence
of
something.
S
This
will
give
us
a
better
indication
if
it
is
something
that
should
be
tested
for
or
if
this
is
just
some
other
issue,
the
next
page
Vehicles
we
do
have
our
usual
replacement
of
vehicles.
I
have
a
minor
correction.
We
are
purchasing
a
plan
to
purchase
108
police
interceptor
utilities
to
replace
those
that
meet
their
mileage
threshold
and
five
SUVs,
and
these
are
all
depending
on
our
vehicles
being
mileged
out.
S
There
are
unsung
heroes.
Most
people
aren't
even
aware
that
they
exist,
but
we
are
for
them
as
well
asking
for
the
two
grade
upgrade
plus
the
amendment
to
make
it
all
ranks,
and
we
have
asked
for
oh,
a
general
appropriation
to
a
replace,
expired
grant
funding
for
the
safe
voice
program
and
for
those
who
aren't
familiar
with
the
safe
price
voice
program.
S
That's
the
children's
program
for
schools
that
the
health
department
funded
with
grants
where
we
have
24
27,
24
7
coverage
to
ensure
that
there's
somebody
on
the
other
end
of
the
line
and
emails,
there's
numerous
ways
to
call
for
emergencies,
for
threats
for
bullying
anything
along
those
lines.
I
remember
a
very
touching
explanation:
when
last
we
were
up
here
explaining
what
safevice
does
and
the
suicides
that
were
prevented.
S
No,
that
one
isn't
it
the
one
where
we
are
asking
for
staff
I've
got
the
wrong
page.
Oh
my
apologies.
Okay,
so
we
are
requesting
another
amendment
to
return
investigations
to
the
pre-recession
Staffing
for
sworn
and
its
total
of
36
positions.
I,
don't
know
if
you
recall,
or
not,
but
back
in
2010
2012.
S
S
S
S
We
did
receive
that
arpa
fund
to
replace
the
general
fund
for
the
Insidious
modification
modernization
and
then
next
State
Fire
Marshal
again
a
two
grade
upgrade
increase
for
the
DPS
officers
and
then
an
amendment
we
are
going
to
be
looking
for
an
acceleration
dog
and
we
have
one
I
think
it
process
right
now
that
we
are
looking
to
bring
on
which
will
certainly
help
our
arson
investigators.
So
they
go
out.
S
They
believe
that
you
know
arson
is
there
and
they
can
spend
hours
looking
for
the
source
or
the
material
to
try
and
test
to
prove
it
or
prove
what
was
the
compostable,
where
these
dogs
are
trained
to
go
directly
to
it,
and
we
do
have
some
help
for
our
plans.
Bureau.
These
are
the
folks
who
review
all
the
plans
for
life
and
safety
and
we
can't
keep
up
with
them.
That's
where
most
of
our
Revenue
comes
in,
and
so
we
are
happy
that
that
is
the
case.
S
S
The
next
staff
you're
going
to
see
our
wonderful
Kevin
and
Steve
and
Quan
standing
on
the
steps
of
the
Mansion,
not
the
Mansion,
I'm,
sorry,
the
capital,
and
these
are
our
Capital
police
officers
and
again
we
have
the
two
great
upgrade
for
them
as
well,
and
you
may
note
or
remember
that
in
the
prior
bienniums,
we
were
asking
to
bring
them
up
from
officer
ones
to
twos,
and
we
finally
got
that
accomplished
this
fiscal
year
as
your
legislative,
Security,
office
or
police
could
tell
you
because
they're
mostly
RX
folks,
we
compete
with
them
and
since
they
got
their
upgrade
well
before
we
got
our
upgrade.
S
S
And
finally,
we
have
the
director's
office
and
we
are
asking
to
cover
our
public
records
requests
software
with
our
total
cost
allocation.
Instead
of
using
forfeiture
funds,
we're
adding
adding,
hopefully,
two
Personnel
technicians.
Three,
our
loss
of
Staffing
in
HR
is
is
incredible.
We
weren't
able
to
keep
a
single
technician
to
a
year
for
the
last
10
years.
S
It's
the
turnover
is
very
great
and
we
were
missing
that
step
in
the
ladder
to
keep
them
in
our
department,
so
that
we
can
continue
to
promote
them
and
retain
some
of
that
knowledge
and
every
time
one
of
those
folks
leave.
We
lose
that
basic
knowledge,
especially
during
this
time
of
change
with
success
factors.
So
there
are
so
many
things.
Changing
people
have
learned
the
new
system
or
the
old
system,
but
not
both
and
so.
Holding
on
to
these
folks
long
enough
to
be
able
to
make
it
work
will
be
very
helpful.
S
Then
we
have
the
joint
emergency
training
institute
or
Jetty
we're
looking
to
be
a
partner
in
that
whole
program,
which
will
enable
us
to
use
their
shooting
firing
ranges.
Gun
ranges
as
well
as
their
facility.
That
includes
all
kinds
of
the
latest
and
greatest
technology
there's
room
for
us
to
actually
train
our
Academy
there
as
well,
and
then
we'd
be
joining
forces
with
the
South
to
add
consistency
to
the
methodology
of
of
total
law
enforcement.
S
This
will
really
make
a
difference,
since
you
may
remember
back
in
2012
or
14,
we
lost
our
own
I.T
division
to
the
state
and
we
have
tried
and
they
have
tried
it's
just.
We
are
one
of
those
anomalies
where
none
of
our
systems
are
similar
to
any
other
state
system
and
our
systems
serve
the
counties
and
cities
and
the
other
law
enforcement.
So
it's
really
important
that
we
have
our
own
priority
and
unfortunately,
there's
no
way
eats
could
possibly
take
care
of
us
only
and
ahead
of
everybody
else.
S
We're
just
regret
requesting
funding
for
the
e-site
system.
This
is
the
system
that
we've
used
to
try
to
accommodate
Bill,
maybe
116,
and
that
was
changing.
The
citations
from.
S
Although
we've
made
quite
a
few
gains,
I
don't
want
you
to
think
that
we
haven't
done
it,
and
then
we
have
asked
for
grandson
projects,
analyst
three
position,
and
finally,
that
is
an
actual
picture
of
our
architect's
rendering
of
our
new
office.
S
I
think
that's
a
view
to
the
garage
that
would
be
on
the
highway
395
right
here
in
Carson
City
at
what's
the
name,
the
property,
the
the
old
Armory
old
Armory.
Thank
you
very
much.
We
play
this
game,
often
I.
You
know
get
in
Denver,
so
at
the
old
Armory,
and
so
that's
just
a
pile
of
dirt
right
now,
if
you
drive
by
it,
it
just
looks
like
this
fenced
in
yucky
area.
S
So
this
will
be
the
premier
headquarters
for
the
state
headquarters,
building
and
a
state
lab,
which
would
be
the
first,
because
there
are
only
two
states.
Oh
one,
now
one
state
in
the
country
that
doesn't
have
a
state
lab
so
we're
hoping
that
if
it
comes
to
your
attention,
you'll
kind
of
give
us
a
shout
out
and
say
yay
to
move
forward.
We've
already
had
the
architectural
renderings
and
designs
and
lots
of
studies
done.
The
next
phase
would
what's
recommended
to
the
governor
as
23-pl1
in
the
capital
Improvement
program.
S
S
The
next
two
slides
are
the
Pearl
board.
Slides
and
Chris
is
in
the
background
to
answer
questions.
Should
you
have
them
in
an
effort
to
ensure
Public
Safety,
the
board
of
parole.
Commissioners
renders
fair
and
just
decisions
on
promo
parole
matters
on
the
law,
the
impact
on
vict
victims
and
the
community,
and
the
goal
of
successfully
integrating
offenders
back
into
society.
S
The
board
of
parole
Commissioners
has
several
decision
units.
One
of
them
is
to
request
funding
for
Fleet
Services
vehicle.
Another
is
to
realign
the
funding
appropriate
for
mandated
training
and
the
third
one
is
to
fund
a
new
director
executive
director
position
and
Associated
costs
and
one
shots
or
special
consideration.
S
There's
a
replacement,
a
request
for
replacement
of
29
laptops
and
the
rest
is
mostly
replacement.
Equipments
and
I
won't
dwell
on
that,
but
the
picture
you
have
is
Liz
Dominguez
she's
still
with
us
and
Marcus,
who
unfortunately
went
to
Metro.
So
there
you
have
it.
I
am
open
to
questions,
as
is
anybody
on
my
team
and
happy
to
assist.
S
S
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
think
we
saw
quite
a
few
slides
kind
of
comparing
nhp
pay
to
some
of
the
other
municipalities
with
the
two-step
grade
increase
and
the
eight
percent
and
four
percent
do.
We
know
where
nhp
would
then
be
in
relation
to
some
of
those
municipalities
right.
How
close
do
we
get
you,
and
my
second
question
is:
do
you
anticipate
with
those
two
things
the
vacancy
rates
may
go
down
and
we
can
have
some
folks
in
Elko
Sherry
brighamin,
for
the
record.
S
We
assume
the
two
rank
is
going
to
be
10
percent.
The
eight
percent
in
the
air
brings
us
to
18
for
just
the
first
year,
but
we
are
looking
at
an
increase
in
pers
which
can
take
that
right
back
down
to
13
percent,
so
our
goal
would
be
to
get
the
pay
up
to
25
percent
increase
just
so
we
can
start
on
the
same
footing
as
everybody
else
and
then
move
forward.
S
We'd
love
to
see
something
in
statute
that
kept
us
within
five
percent
of
the
locals,
something
along
those
lines
to
keep
us
up
with
it.
But
our
concern
right
now
is
is
holding
on
to
who
we
have
now
and
just
the
governor's
announcement
certainly
made
a
difference.
I
believe
last
year,
in
the
first
month,
we
lost
in
the
teens
I,
had
it
written
down
somewhere
and
we've
only
lost
six
this
year.
S
So
I
I
hope
that
that
this
Direction
and
the
attention
is
going
to
stay
focused
on
that
and
so
I'm
hoping
even
just
discussing
it
in
the
open,
is
going
to
make
a
difference.
But
my
concern
is:
if
I
don't
get
them
to
25
this
year,
it's
going
to
continue
to
erode
and
erode
again
and
we're
going
to
be
back
to
the
same
spot
in
two
years
and
losing
my
higher
Command
Staff
is
a
real
concern
for
me
right
now,
because
we
during
the
recession
and
covet
have
lost
our
Brain
Trust
in
middle
management.
S
So
we
don't
have
people
to
promote
they're,
not
ready.
Yet,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
I
have
a
vacant
parole
and
probation
Chief
I've
got
two
new
Majors,
covering
the
whole
state
they're
doing
a
fantastic
job.
Don't
get
me
wrong,
but
still
that
I
don't
have
someone
ready
to
walk
into
that
position
is,
is
of
concern,
so
I
don't
want
to
lose
them
either.
It's
not
just
getting
the
new
ones
it's
holding
on
onto
the
higher
end
ones.
S
George
takliotti
for
the
record,
as
recently
as
last
month,
the
Henderson
Police
Department
advertised,
a
lateral,
Academy
and,
and
what
that
means
basically
is
anyone
who
has
already
been
certified
as
a
category.
One
police
officer
you're
welcome
to
come
with
us
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
That
saves
them
a
fair
amount
of
money,
rather
than
put
some
person
from
a
recruit
off
the
street,
with
no
experience
through
an
academy
which
takes
four
plus
months
and
probably
over
a
hundred
thousand
I,
don't
know
the
exact
amount
but
easily
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
S
That
was
last
month
to
Sherry's
point
I.
Think
just
as
Spirit
right
now
within
our
employees
is
the
fact
that
they
anticipate
a
new
day.
They
anticipate
that
something's
going
to
happen
that
they're
going
to
gonna,
be
their
issues
are
going
to
be
heard.
S
You
know
what
also
is
is
is
troubling
beside
the
fact
that
we're
robbing
Peter
to
pay
Paul
is
the
fact
that
so
many
of
our
employees
don't
necessarily
want
to
leave,
and
you
hear
the
stories
where
they
come
up
and
say:
well,
you
know
I
really
don't
want
to
go
and
and
I
would
say
why
would
you
want
to
go
to
no
offense?
But
why
would
you
want
to
limit
yourself
with
the
school
police?
When
was
the
Department
of
Public
Safety?
You
have
a
whole
state
to
live
in.
S
You
have
all
these
diverse
jobs
that
are
available
to
you
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
You
know
trying
to
encourage
them
to
stay
and
they
said
it
comes
down
to
married.
Two
kids
I
need
money.
I
can't
afford
to
turn
down
that
money
and
they
can
leave
us
because
it's
the
same
retirement
program,
which
always
puzzles
me
and
not
skip
a
beat,
but
they
can
also
come
back
and
I've
had
a
fair
amount
of
folks.
That
say
we
would
really
really
like
to
come
back.
S
If
you
go
to
page
28,
when
we
talk
about
a
recruitment
person
as
a
gentleman,
there
Doug
who's
our
recruiter
from
the
south
Great
Trooper,
his
predecessor
came
to
me
personally
and
almost
apologized
because
he
had
a
leave
and
he
went
to
Metro
and
I
said
to
myself
self.
That's
what
we
get
for,
putting
him
out
there,
where
people
can
see
him
and
see.
S
The
fact
that
this
guy
is
is
a
value
to
any
organization
and
it's
somebody
that
they
can
come
and
just
and
take
away
from
us
and
just
by
the
way
he
was
also
in
our
minority
community
and
helped
us
with
our
recruitment
in
the
minority
community.
So
that
lasted
months.
Maybe
when
we
put
him
in
that
position-
and
he
was
terrific
and
he's
gone,
but
he
told
me
you
know
if
we
get
a
chance,
I
really
like
working
with
Highway,
Patrol
and
I,
come
back
I'm
not
going
to
hold
anybody
to
that.
S
But
there's
more
folks
that
left
us
that
had
that
attitude
when
they
left
that
I
find
encouraging
it's.
It's
not
the
job,
it's
just
the
economic
circumstances
and
I'm
turkey,
nice.
Just
a
quick
follow-up:
go
ahead!
Please!
Okay!
Thanks!
So
it's
it's
a
two-parter!
Do
we
know
how
much
it
would
cost
the
state
to
cover
the
purse
contributions
for
your
department.
S
Sherry
brickerman
for
the
record.
Yes
and
yes,
I,
don't
have
the
number
with
me.
S
It's
significant
and
I
I
hesitate
to
say
on
the
record:
I
I
we
just
we've
done
it
so
many
times,
I
believe
it
was
20
20
million
a
year,
23.
S
S
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
this
kind
of
dovetails
with
my
colleagues
questions.
So
obviously,
when
people
leave
you
talk
to
them
about
why,
and
it
sounds
like
by
and
large
it's
compensation
which,
which
makes
sense.
I
just
wondered
if
you
had
a
chance
to
talk
to
folks
who
stay,
who
maybe
have
opportunities
to
leave
but
don't
and
what
they
tell
you
about
what
it
is
about,
the
agency
that
that
makes
them
want
to
stay.
Obviously
we
have
work
to
do
in
the
pay
area.
S
We
know
that,
but
just
wondering
if
you
could
share
any
of
that
Insight
if
you
have
that
information,
George
togliati
for
the
record
again.
This
is
not
a
scientifically
supported
response,
but
we
do
engage
with
the
folks
who
are
going
to
leave
and
I
I.
Think.
S
S
You
can't
find
that
elsewhere,
so
most
of
and
and
I
think
the
the
proof
in
this
is
the
fact
that
people
don't
have
to
make
an
excuse,
but
they
want
to
make
an
excuse
as
to
why
they
leave
otherwise
they
just
walk
out
the
door
I'm
not
going
to
say
everyone's
going
to
come
back,
but
it's
I
think
that
they're
in
their
heart,
they,
that
was
the
main
reason
that
they
wanted
to
leave.
But
we
are,
we
have
that
diversity
and
I
try
to.
We
try
to
sell
that
where
I
remember
from.
S
Similarly,
from
my
day
when
I
left
the
military
and
was
being
recruited
to
go
to
work
for
the
federal
government
would
I
want
to
work
for
the
FBI
or
the
DEA.
The
the
main
attraction
with
the
FBI
was
the
fact
that
I
could
do
a
whole
bunch
of
different
things.
S
I
could
live
in
so
many
different
places
and
I
wasn't
limited
to
one
type
of
investigation,
so
you
could
really
expand
your
horizons
and
I
think
we
can
translate
that
as
well
to
a
state
position
and
that
career
with
state
law
enforcement,
where
you're
not
just
going
to
be
pigeonholed
into
one
particular
area,
and
me
personally.
This
is
just
kind
of
my
idea.
S
But
if,
if
I'm,
a
young
person
with
a
family
I'd
want
to
be
an
Elko
or
Ely
and
get
a
couple
of
acres
and
get
a
horse
and
and
you
you
can't
do
that,
if
you're
working
for
for
the
Metropolitan
Police
Department
necessarily
try
to
buy
a
horse
property
in
Las,
Vegas,
good
luck
and
we
don't
pay
enough,
but
so
I
we
got
a.
S
We
got
a
lot
going
for
us
and
I
think
we
try
to
beat
that
drum,
but
and
I
think
that's
the
reason
we
get
a
lot
of
apologies
for
folks
leaving
they
don't
know
us
one,
but.
S
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
all
who
are
at
the
table
and
all
the
officers
and
and
on
folks
that
are
in
the
community
room
today.
Listening
to
this,
my
young
highway
patrolman,
whose
parents
are
some
of
my
close
friends,
has
me
on
speed,
dial
and
speed
text.
All
the
time
about
issues
going
on
in
your
department
and
I
have
tremendous
respect
for
him
and
all
of
you.
S
Having
said
that,
however,
you
made
a
statement
early
on
about
your
ability
to
even
sustain
the
Nevada
State
Police,
also
known
as
Highway
Patrol
and
I'm
wondering
if
you
could
share
with
this
body,
why
we
would
want
to
keep
you
afloat.
S
There
are
a
couple
of
things
if
you've,
driven
lately
in
Las
Vegas
on
any
of
the
freeways
you'll
see
that
finding
the
highway
patrol
or
any
kind
of
traffic
enforcement
is,
can
be
few
and
far
between
a
couple
of
months
ago,
we
had
a
tour
of
some
dips
and
they
were
looking
at
our
motorcycles,
for
example,
and
made
the
comment.
You
know
this
kind
of
model
and
blah
blah
blah.
What
did
they
do,
and
this
is
what
they
do
for
traffic
speed
enforcement
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
S
The
reality
is
in
Las
Vegas
right
now.
Unless
things
have
changed
and
since
I
last
checked,
we
have
pretty
much
one
shift
of
those
motorcycles
which
would
be
about
four
to
six,
and
that
would
be
one
shift
four
days
a
week,
so
we
could
pick
the
shift
whether
you
want
to
be
graveyard
day
shift
Etc.
S
Similarly,
in
the
north,
we
looking
at
our
numbers
came
to
the
point:
where
are
we
going
to
be
able
to
provide
a
highway
patrol
24
7
in
Washoe,
beside
all
the
ramifications
with
mandates
and
funding
from
the
government,
the
federal
government?
This
becomes
a
really
serious
traffic
safety
issue.
If
you
go
on
social
media
and
see
how
what
used
to
be
65
75
miles
an
hour
is
now
85
95
miles
an
hour
for
folks
that
just
don't
really
care
the
number
of
traffic
accidents,
the
number
of
fatalities
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
S
S
Now,
if
you're
in
the
rurals
that's
kind
of
important,
we
do
all
kinds
of
things
regarding
illegal
cannabis,
grow
and
so
on
and
so
forth,
and
we
follow
up
and
our
main
mission
is
to
provide
services
to
the
counties,
particularly
where,
when
the
counties
that
are
in
need
that
don't
necessarily
have
that
availability
to
have
trained
investigators,
to
conduct
homicide
investigations
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
So
it's
we
also
have
now
some
we're
getting
more
involved
with
cannabis,
as
well
as
with
the
pharmacy
board
and
some
issues
that
we're
doing
with
investigations
there.
S
So
the
role
has
been
increasing
and
increasing
and
I
remember
having
a
conversation
with
Governor
sislak
one
time
saying:
well
we're
going
to
be
involved
with
this,
and
this
and
who's
going
to
be
involved.
Vision
investigation,
division
investigation
because
their
mission
is
so
varied
and
the
and
I
kept
saying
and
by
the
way
Governor
we
only
have
boom
number
of
people
and
by
the
way
Governor.
You
know
trying
to
give
them
a
hint.
S
But
we're
really
in
need
of
having
people
who
can
conduct
some
of
these
investigations
and
and
and
it's
getting
to
the
point
where
we're
going
to
getting
involved
with
critical
mass
one.
Other
thing
I
want
I
want
to
mention
if
I
just
get
a
chance,
because
I
want
to
get
this
in
here,
I
don't
think
we
had
touched
on
it
with
the
laboratory.
S
I've
had
a
lot
of
conversations
with
Tyler
climas
who's
executive,
director
of
the
Cannabis
board
and
I'm
on
the
advisory
commission
for
the
Cannabis
advisory
commission.
One
of
the
things
we
hope
to
do
with
the
State
forensic
laboratory,
which
would
be
inside
the
headquarters
of
the
DPS,
is
to
also
have
part
of
that
for
cannabis,
research,
cannabis,
laboratory,
etc,
etc
and
I
know
their
plan
is
to
try
to
have
a
lab
in
the
north
and
a
lab
in
the
South
right
now,
all
that's
being
outsourced,
and
this
would
guarantee
again
quality
control.
S
It
would
also
in
quality
control
and
Purity
issues,
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
To
me
is
is
critical.
I
know
there
was
an
article
in
the
media,
or
maybe
a
month
or
so
ago
about
how
many
hundred
pounds
or
thousands
how
many
thousand
pounds
of
cannabis
was
distributed
and
it
turned
out
it
had
some
sort
of
either
a
chemical
that
was
sprayed
on
it
or
whatever
I
think
we
are
desperately
in
need
of
a
state,
laboratory
and
I.
Think
we
can.
S
S
We
can't
lose
sight
of
the
fact
that
the
illegal
grow
of
cannabis,
with
particularly
the
the
grow,
that's
related
to
major
groups
and
cartels
is
occurring
in
this
state
as
well
as
in
Northern
California,
and
that
can't
be
overlooked.
F
S
That
answer
a
little
bit
of
it.
Well,
not
exactly,
but
thank
you
I
I'm,
all
very
supportive
of
the
state,
lab
and
I
think
that's
what
a
critical
component
didn't
really
answer,
what's
unique
about
why
we
need
our
state
highway
patrolmen
on
the
road,
but
we
can
have
that
offline
I,
think
maybe
you
could
share
that
with
the
members,
some
of
the
uniqueness
to
the
the
state
police,
the
next
question
I
have-
and
this
is
the
last
one.
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
is
you
asked
for
the
new
motorcycles
and
new
vehicles?
S
Do
you
have
people
to
drive
them
foreign
for
the
record?
Yes,
we
do,
but,
as
I
said,
we
don't
buy
the
vehicles
until
we
have
mileaged
out
the
vehicles
that
we
have,
so
they
do
last
a
little
bit
longer,
since
we
don't
have
as
many
officers
driving
them
plus
we
do
have
the
crashes
that
go
on
with
the
normal
traffic
routine.
We
lose
them
that
way,
but,
yes,
we
don't
buy
them
until
we
need
them
great.
Thank
you
for
that
again,
thank
all
of
you
in
the
audience
I'm
Madam
chair.
S
S
As
as
I
look
through
this
information,
I'm
wondering
and
and
although
it
was
mentioned
once
or
twice
about
grants,
are
there
any
federal
grants
that
the
department
is
currently
receiving
and
or
are
there
other
opportunities
for
us
for
us
as
a
state
to
be
able
to
possibly
both
apply
for
and
then
also
look
into
matching
grants
in
this
incredibly
difficult
area.
S
Sherry
brighamin
for
the
record
and
I
may
have
Curtis
chime
in
with
specifics
as
I.
Don't
recall
all
of
them,
but
we
are
largely
funded
by
grants,
believe
it
or
not,
and
then,
of
course,
our
Highway
Troopers
are
funded
by
Highway
fund,
which
kind
of
has
a
problem,
because
then
our
PNP
officers,
our
general
fund
and
our
investigators
are
general
fund.
In
fact,
the
investigation
division
doesn't
even
get
a
budget
for
overtime.
We
have
grants
that
pay
for
the
overtime
so
mix
app
is
the
4721.
S
U
Our
division
of
office
of
Criminal
Justice
assistance,
their
whole
goal
in
life
is
to
find
us
more
grants.
So
we
have
that
continuing
and
new
grants
coming
up
every
day
now
granted
there's
four
of
them
I
think
four,
but
they
do
a
phenomenal
job
of
getting
that
information
out
to
us
so
that
we
can
apply
for
those
grants
as
they
apply.
And
then
we
have
the
traffic
of
the
office
of
traffic
safety,
and
that
is
also
grants.
S
That
funding
is
is
mostly
used
to
educate
our
our
citizens.
You
know
you
see
the
commercials
come
out.
Those
are
sponsored
by
us
we're
also.
They
are
also
managing
the
contract
with
Brazos,
which
is
the
citation
system
that
we
were
trying
to
update
and
change
along
with
ab116.
So,
oh,
yes,
yes,
yes,
we
use
grants
and
we're
pretty
good
at
getting
them,
but
most
of
them
are
temporary
in
nature.
Most
of
them
will
not
cover
any.
You
pay
they'll
cover
overtime.
S
S
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I'll,
be
brief.
I
know
we
need
to
be
moving
along.
I
just
want
to
reinforce
us
along
with
a
comment
as
much
as
anything.
You
know
we're
back
to
pre-1970.
There
are
no
speed
limits
in
rural
Nevada.
You
know
it's
just
unfortunate.
If
you
are
unlucky
enough
to
encounter
an
officer,
but
the
chances
are,
you
can
run
Highway
50
from
Ely
to
Fallon
at
100
miles
an
hour
and
not
worry
about
it.
Yeah.
It's
you
you're,
just
bad
luck!
S
If
you
happen
to
get
caught,
one
thing
I'm
kind
of
reaching
into
the
into
the
next
budget
a
little
bit
and
you
know
we
all
get
mixed
up
with
this.
We've
got
Motor
Carrier
compliance
and
enforcement.
That's
DMV!
You
know
Senator.
My
colleague
there
on
the
end
was
talking
about.
You
know
the
trucks,
that's
completely
different,
but
do
you
have
anything
between
the
Departments?
Do
you
in
fact
allow
just
motor
carrier
in
fact,
will
a
site
for
speeding
infractions
or
pullover
puller,
someone
over,
say
a
a
regular
passenger
car.
Q
Sherry
Brigman
for
the
record.
Yes
to
yes,
these
are
in
my
mind
the
way
I
see
it
is
in
California.
They
have
actually
specific
fixed
way
sites
where
the
trucks
all
go
and
weigh
in
that's
us.
We
don't
have
those.
Q
So
we
carry
the
scales
in
the
back
of
the
trucks,
and
so
we
have
civilian
folks
that
go
out
and
measure
way
that
sort
of
thing,
and
then
we
have
a
highway
patrol
Trooper
as
partners
that
will
give
out
tickets
not
only
to
the
trucks
but
to
civilians
who
are
driving
in
a
car
and
not
in
the
right
place,
for
the
truck
not
being
reasonable
and
they're
driving
and
I
do
have
more
people
from
Highway
Patrol.
Who
could
probably
do
a
heck
of
a
lot
better
to
explain
this
right?
Q
No,
no
I
understand
that
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure.
But
again,
you
know
typically
you'll
see
a
compliance
and
enforcement
vehicle,
which
is
IE,
Motor
Carrier,
but
you're
telling
me
those
are
actually
Nevada.
State
Police
I
think
we're
talking
two
I'm
yeah
and
I
just
wanted
to
try
and
clarify
that
and
I
didn't
want
to
take
a
lot
of
time
doing
it.
George
tagliati
for
the
record,
our
our
commercial
Troopers
are
geez.
They
drive
pickup
trucks
that
are
marked
with
Highway
Patrol
and
have
all
that
gear.
Q
We
have
a
subject
matter,
expert
here,
James
Simpson,
for
the
record,
the
motor
carrier.
From
years
ago
we
are
in
our
commercial
Troopers
the
compliance.
What
you're
speaking
of
I
think
is
DMV,
which
is
totally
separate
from
us,
our
commercial
Troopers
years
ago.
Q
We
had
them
in
your
area,
we
had
a
company,
they
stopped
trucks,
they
weigh
trucks
and
to
answer
what
you
were
asking
earlier:
that's
a
federal
program
which
is
very
important
because
in
the
rural
areas
and
within
the
entire
state
commercial
vehicles,
Nevada
is
a
route
from
east
coast
to
West
Coast,
even
though
we're
on
the
West
Coast
but
I-80
I-15
or
major
routes
to
keep
the
interstate
commerce
going
to
keep
this
country
moving
forward.
We
are
that
team.
Q
The
compliance
enforcement
through
the
DMV
is
separate
from
us.
I,
don't
want
to
speak
to
what
they
do
and
I
think
that
was
one
of
your
questions
about
our
I
was
just
trying
to
determine
the
separation
there,
but
there
really
isn't
any
separation
as
far
as
enforcement
for
commercial
Troopers
we're
all
like
a
marine
as
a
marine
as
a
marine,
our
Troopers
are
Troopers
all
the
way.
Through
some
have
other
duties.
Q
We
received
funds
from
the
federal
government,
we're
supposed
to
do
about
30
000
inspections
a
year
which
is
significant
and
our
Troopers
do
the
best
to
do
them
in
the
rural
areas
near
area.
Our
regular
traffic
Troopers
also
performed
commercial
duties
at
one
point:
we're
going
to
try
to
get
back
to
there
again
because
I
worked
out
in
Elko,
I,
patrolled
your
area
and
sometimes
it's
scary,
driving
out
there
and
I.
U
Understand
the
speeds
out
there
and
we
do
need
to
do
better
and
that's
what
we're
trying
to
do
by
bringing
all
this
together,
having
a
conversations
with
you
guys
about
our
plates
and
we're
hoping
that
you
guys
are
understanding
with
that.
Thank
you
and
I'm
not
knocking
the
speed
I
like
getting
from
there
to
here.
It's
just
that.
We
need
to
understand
that
it
is
happening
out
there
and
then
I
sympathize.
You
know
if
you
have
a
fatality
on,
say,
Hickerson
Summit,
that
Trooper
is
going
to
come
for.
S
Melee
or
Fallon,
it's
120
mile
response
and
again
I'm
not
going
to
knock
on
the
local
jurisdictions.
You
know
the
county,
sheriffs
or
whatever,
but
you
have
to
understand,
there's
going
to
be
a
little
different
level
of
Investigation
in
the
expertise
if
it's
a
highway
patrol
Trooper
there
or
a
deputy
sheriff
yes.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you,
Senator
and
from
me
personally
slowed
down
because
I'd
like
to
see
you
each
day.
Thank
you.
O
Around
the
sex
offender
registry
and
also
the
fingerprint
background,
checks
and
I
wanted
to
know
how
I
was
I
was
happy
to
hear
that
there's
some
Opera
funds
that
could
be
used
for
the
update
or
the
installation
of
the
Nevada
criminal
justice
information
system.
The
ncjis
I
wanted
to
know
how
that
was
going
because
we
have
so
many
entities
like
the
school
districts
that
require
background
checks
and
Behavioral,
Health,
analysts
and
so
forth,
and
the
process
is
really
slow
and
I
and
I
also
recognize
that
the
FBI
won't.
Let
you
share
a
background
check.
Q
Ed
versus
the
schools
district
versus
a
National
Organization,
that's
gone
through
background
check
versus
what
the
state
requires.
You
have
to
keep
doing
them,
so
how
is
the
that
upgrade
or
modernization
going,
and
what
do
the
timelines
look
like,
or
what
should
we
expect
in
the
future
with
that
modernization?
Thank
you.
Q
Q
So
that's
rolling
out
really
well,
which
will
help
and
reduce
time
weights.
Our
issue
now
is,
we
are
not
up
and
running
and
Staffing
in
rccd
is
just
as
critically
low
as
everywhere
else,
but
I
have
Erica
here.
Who
can
explain
that
to
you?
Q
Thank
you.
Erica
suzyamas
for
the
record.
I.
Don't
really
have
a
whole
lot
to
add
from
what
deputy
director
bergaman
just
stated.
We
are
on
track
with
the
Insidious
modernization.
We
are
set
to
start
rolling
out
some
of
the
deployment
I
think
in
the
next
few
months,
with
some
of
our
local
agencies.
Full
rollout
is
expected
to
be
by
June
of
2024.
Q
Thank
you
for
that
response,
and
also
I
want
to
thank
you
and
all
the
the
Troopers
everyone
who
works
on
our
behalf
to
keep
us
safe.
We
we
support
you
and
we
want
to
make
sure
we
get
funding
to
make
sure
you
can
keep
your
troops
in
all
your
administrative
staff
and
everybody
to
run
these
operations,
because
it's
critical
for
our
Public
Safety.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
and
we'll
go
to
assemblywoman
kasama.
Q
Thank
you
chair
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
It
certainly
sounds
like
and
I
can
see
that
the
need
is
dire.
I
can
hear
that
the
need
is
dire,
and
you
made
a
comment
at
the
beginning
of
your
presentation
that
if,
if
you
didn't
get
the
funding
you
needed
to
hire
the
people,
you
need
the
association
virtually
disappear,
go
away
because
you
wouldn't
have
people
supporting
it.
Help
me
on
a
big
picture.
What
what
does
that
mean?
Q
Does
that
mean
all
of
these
Services
would
go
to
the
county
levels
when
you
make
a
comment
like
that,
does
that
mean
it's
just
spread
out,
because
it
seems
to
me
as
a
state.
We
need
to
provide
funding
for
safety,
whether
it
comes
from
the
state,
pod
or
the
county
pots,
and
also,
it
seems
I'm
sure
we
have
regulations
for
all
of
these
things
that
require
we
maintain
certain
services,
and
if
we
don't,
then
we
also
open
ourselves
up
to
lawsuits
from
the
citizens.
So
what
what
happens?
If
we
don't
meet
that?
V
Public
Safety
has
a
an
interesting
Mission,
I
mean
it's,
it's
so
varied,
and
so,
for
example,
with
our
division
of
parole
and
probation,
we
handle
all
adult
parole
on
probation
for
folks,
either
being
put
on
parole
or
getting
out
of
incarceration
the
county
sandal
de
juvenile.
V
If
they,
if
we
were
to
disappear,
I,
don't
know,
you'd
have
to
readjust
where
all
the
counties
take
care
of
all
the
adult,
parole
and
probation
in
the
meantime,
as
those
cases
start
to
rise,
or
our
numbers
start
to
go
down
as
far
as
officers
who
are
maintaining
contact
with
these
folks,
you
can
only
imagine,
based
on
the
statistics
and
history,
that
the
recidivism
rate
for
people
who
are
getting
out
of
prison
or
on
probation
will
increase
and
crime
will
rise.
V
The
highway
patrol
I
think,
which
is
again
a
function,
is
supported
by
principally
by
the
federal
government.
The
whole
intent
was
for
highways
when
they
first
built
the
first
Highway,
where
we
would
have
folks
out
there
to
enforce
to
save
lives.
I
get
phone
calls
from
various
counties,
particularly
the
rural
counties,
when
we
don't
have
a
sufficient
coverage,
because
that
means
that
the
county
has
to
provide
that
coverage.
Q
Are
are
there
to
support
it?
Our
office
of
traffic
safety,
one
of
the
one
of
my
interests
and
passions
over
that
laboratory
is
the
hope
that
when
we
be,
we
are
the
specialists
in
traffic
safety.
We
Highway
Patrol
when
we
talk
about
a
laboratory
and
a
forensic
laboratory
that
can
provide
information
to
the
office
of
traffic
safety.
Who
can
provide
information
to
netsa
to
demonstrate
again
why?
What
is
an
impaired
driver?
What
are
the
comorbidity
factors
in
that?
Q
Did
we
just
do
one
of
these
tests,
a
visual
type
of
thing
and
say
I
smell
a
beer
and
that's
it
and
call
it
a
day,
I
based
on
money
and
finances.
That's
the
expedient
way
to
get
somebody
off
the
highway,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
research
Nationwide
is
it
is
someone
involved
in
pharmaceutical
drugs?
Is
it
involved
in
the
Cannabis,
possibly
considering
now
we
have
legalized
marijuana
and
recreational
marijuana
in
this
state.
Q
We
need
to
take
that
next
step
forward,
because
there's
a
potential
with
our
tourist
industry
that
we're
going
to
have
more
impaired
drivers
on
a
road.
What
do
we
do
to
address
it?
That's
critical,
it's
not
only
the
bodies
that
are
going
to
be
there
to
enforce
it.
It's
also.
Are
we
compiling
enough
data
to
give
to
the
office
of
traffic
safety
into
the
feds
so
that
we
have
a
better
understanding
of?
What
exactly
is
the
root
cause
of
the
problem?
Is
it
more,
is
it
just
alcohol
or
is
it
something
else
and.
Q
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
I'm
going
to
go
to
Vice,
chair,
Monroe,
Moreno
and
then
I'll.
The
last
question
will
come
from
assemblyman
O'neill.
Q
If
we
do
not
have
state
PMP,
we
are
not
doing
our
job
as
legislators,
for
this
state
and
for
our
constituents,
and
we
are
putting
that
responsibility
onto
our
local
municipalities
and
our
counties
and
we're
going
to
be
paying
for
it
one
way
or
another,
because
then
they're
going
to
be
sitting
in
those
chairs
asking
for
the
dollars
to
do
the
job
that
we're
supposed
to
do
so.
If
we're
serious
about
keeping
this
community
safe,
safe,
then
I
ask
all
of
you.
Q
Q
Thank
you
very
much,
chair
I,
appreciate
the
time
I'd
like
to
reinforce
what
co-chair
just
said
in
support
of
our
State
Department
of
Public
Safety.
What
I
do
have
two
questions:
I.
Actually,
if
I
also
may
say,
when
I
worked
for
the
DPS
investigation
division,
we
had
over
a
hundred
investigators
for
the
state
and
that
wasn't
as
old
as
I
am
I'm
not
talking
50
years
ago.
I'm
talking
a
short
15
years
ago,
a
hundred
over
a
hundred
I
think
the
exact
number
was
109.
Q
across
the
state.
It's
embarrassing
that
we
have
the
largest
have
a
state
agency
that
does
not
have
a
presence
in
our
largest
city,
slash
County,
being
Las
Vegas,
Clark
County
and,
as
our
chair
said,
we
need
to
step
up
to
the
plate,
but
with
that
on
recruitment,
when
you
go
to
recruit
veterans,
it's
every
DOD
agency
mastered
arms,
military
police,
Security
Police,
the
Air
Force.
They
all
have
their
own
police
agencies
when
they
come.
Q
Eligible
for
the
lateral
Sherry
Brigham
and
for
their
record,
it
really
comes
down
to
the
lateral
status
with
post.
So
if
they
have
already
met
post
requirements
and
either
are
or
it's
transferable
to
post,
which
is
an
opportunity,
then
they
would
not
have
the
same
requirements
as
somebody
who
is
just
learning
law
enforcement
from
the
beginning,
but
I,
don't
know
what
those
requirements
might
be.
We'd
have
to
look
into
it.
If,
and
someone
may
have,
but
I
don't
have
anybody
from
HR
here
do
I.
Let
me
just
jump
in
I'll.
V
Taking
now
George
tagliati
for
the
record
to
address
that
post,
police
officer
standards
and
training,
in
fact,
they're
meeting
next
week,
we
have
a
meeting,
is
looking
at
that
lateral
policies.
So
it
would
be
police
officers
from
other
states
and
you
have
to
qualify
in
a
certain
standard
for
every
law
enforcement
officer
within
the
state
of
Nevada
that
you
have
to
qualify
at.
S
That's
standard
and
the
question
of
Are
We
hurting
ourselves
by
not
opening
that
up
where
people
have
to
start
fresh,
and
you
have
to
go
right
in
the
academy
with
all
the
rookies
when
you
do
have
some
experience,
be
it
in
the
military
or
not.
My
personal
belief
right
now
is
there
is
no
lateral
program
for
military.
You
would
have
to
start
from
day.
W
To
keep
their
numbers
up
that's
disappointing.
I
would
like
to
hear
more
from
post
on
that.
The
other
question
I
had
if
I
may
share
we're
short
Personnel.
Have
we
looked
at
any
I.T
Solutions
out
there?
We
used
to
have
I,
know
an
aeronautical
unit
that
covered,
and
it
was
a
equal
to
so
many
Troopers.
The
airplane
was
covering
the
rural
highways.
Are
we
looking
at
anything
there
too,
to
supplement
shortages
well,
George
togliatti,
for
the
record.
One
thing
we've
been
toying
with
is
the
idea
of
trying
to.
R
W
Based
on
some
Financial
restrictions,
etc,
etc
is
to
form
maybe
a
Civil
Air
Patrol
type
unit
where
we
could
get
Pilots
in
certain
areas,
particularly
in
the
north
and
rural
areas,
who
we
could
engage
to
assist
us
to
cover
some.
S
Highway
areas,
rather
than
having
a
trooper
Drive
50
to
100
miles
to
get
there
and
find
out,
there's
nothing
there
and
then
turn
around
and
come
back
and
Etc,
and
you
can
just
imagine
the
the
effort
that
takes
place
there.
If
we
could
maybe
get
a
group
of
volunteers
like
Civil,
Air
Patrol
that
we
could
have
to
do
that
and
possibly
just
provide
the
fuel.
S
If
these
are
recreational,
Pilots
I'm
having
been
a
pilot
myself
go
out
on
a
weekend,
it
gives
you
something
to
do
and
it's
kind
of
if
we
can
also
do
some
service
for
the
state
so
that
that's
one
of
the
projects
we're
looking
at,
but
we
don't
have
anything
in
our
budget.
The
aircraft
that
we
had
with
the
highway
patrol
were
sold
some
years
ago.
Sure
is
more
familiar
with
why
and
what
for
that?
I
was
thinking
just
of
drones
or
something
along
that
line.
I
do
appreciate.
S
It
I
think
one
last
thing
for
Senator
Titus.
Maybe
we
could
do
a
mounted
unit
horse
mounted
unit
to
take
care
of
her
family
members,
but
anyways.
Thank
you,
sir.
Thank
you
chair.
Thank
you
very
much
and
with
that
I'd
like
to
close
this
part
of
the
presentation,
thank
you
both
for
being
there
here
and
and
there
on
the
roads.
S
Thanks
to
all
of
you,
it's
no
secret
that
I
have
law
enforcement
in
the
family,
and
so
I
keep
track
of
where
you
are,
and
what
you're
doing
and
I
thank
each
and
every
one
of
you
for
your
job
and
what
you
do
to
keep
our
Nevada
roads
safe.
Thank
you
very
much
director
and
Miss
bergermann.
Thank
you
for
your
presentation.
S
You
know
where
we
all
live
for
the
next
few
months.
If
you
have
questions
concerns
or
would
like
to
speak
with
any
of
us.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you.
S
Okay,
we're
shifting
to
agenda
item
five
department
of
motor
vehicles.
Thank
you
for
your
patience.
As
we
discussed
that
subject
before
you,
director,
Julie
Butler
is
so
good
to
see
you
and
you
are
here
with
your
team,
to
give
a
presentation
for.

DMV
has
a
new
vision
and
mission
statement
to
reflect
our
current
direction
to
move
most
of
our
services
online.
Our
vision
is
to
be
a
national
leader
in
DMV
services,
and
our
mission
is
to
provide
efficient
motor
vehicle
solutions
for
the
identification,
licensure
and
protection
of
all.

Okay,
the
DMV
is
funded
primarily
through
Highway
fund
Appropriations
and
the
fees
that
it
collects
on
various
services
such
as
driver's
license
vehicle
registrations
and
titles.
We
receive
a
very
small
general
fund
appropriation
each
year
for
the
costs
associated
with
the
automatic
voter
registration
program.
We
collect
in
excess
of
1.7
billion
in
Revenue
each
fiscal
year.

Department
forecasts

These

are
used
by
policy
makers
to
help
balance
the
governor's
recommended
budget

later
to
balance

currently
over

Management

in

2023
in
December
2022,
we
launched
a

guides
customers
through
routine
transactions,
such
as
scheduling
an
appointment
without
having
to
call
or

A
Spanish
version
of
the

was
recently
launched,
based
on
the
California

experience
with

We

Q
Q
The
existing
Henderson
office
was
built
in
1997..
The
property
on
which
the
facility
is
located
does
not
allow
the
potential
for
growth.
The
parking
lot
is
too
small,
which
causes
customer
and
staff
frustration.
Practically
speaking,
my
staff
can't
even
take
a
lunch
break
because
when
they
come
back,
they're
not
going
to
have
a
parking
spot
parking.
Q
The
customer
counters
are
not
ADA
Compliant
and
they
were
built
when
there
was
a
lot
less
electronic
equipment
used
by
staff
to
conduct
transactions
due
to
the
lobby,
shape
I've
got
customers
walking
over
each
other
to
get
from
one
end
of
the
lobby
to
the
other,
which
is
stressful
for
them
and
stressful
for
our
staff.
Q
The
UNLV
Center
for
business
and
economic
research
provided
these
statistics
on
Clark
County's
growth,
the
Clark
County
population,
when
the
Henderson
DMV
opened
in
1997
was
1.1
million
people.
The
projected
population
of
county
in
2030
is
2.7
million,
which
is
more
than
double
the
population
when
the
building
was
first
constructed.
Q
It's
in
an
industrial
area
of
North
Las
Vegas
off
Craig
Road
and
our
customers
complain
about
poor
access
to
the
site
and
it's
goofy
to
get
to
you've
got
to
get
off
the
freeway
and
you
got
to
do
a
U-turn
and
then
you
gotta
get
in
there,
and
it's
it's
weird
anyway.
Due
to
population
growth,
the
facility
cannot
accommodate
the
increase
of
walking
customers
in
lines
routinely
form
outside
the
building
and
and
tempers
flare,
as
the
temperatures
goes.
Go
up.
Q
Sure
you've
all
experienced
that
the
classroom
for
the
third
party
training
program,
which
is
required
under
Federal
Regulations,
is
too
small,
with
barely
enough
room
for
the
three
staff,
let
alone
the
six
to
eight
people
that
are
taking
the
classes.
At
a
time.
Restrooms
offices,
customer
counters
and
staff
break
room
need
extensive
remodeling.
Q
AA
And
actually,
the
building
plans
are
going
to
be
based
on
the
design
of
the
South
Reno
DMV.
The
site
is
located
on
a
20,
acre
property.
That's
leased
through
State
lands
from
the
Bureau
of
Land
Management,
it's
easily
accessible
via
Interstate
15,
making
it
ideal
for
non-commercial
and
Commercial
customers
alike.
The
new
service
center
will
alleviate
the
previous
staff
and
customer
parking
issues,
and
it
will
be
a
safer
and
more
secure
facility
for
all.
AA
Thank
you
very
much
and
we
do
have
a
question
from
senator
gokuccia.
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
We
stood
it
up,
I
believe
last
session,
or
at
least
you
stood
up.
You
were
had
a
like
a
roving
driver's
license
team.
It
was
going
to
go
to
West
Wind
over
and
then
we
looked
at
expanding
it,
maybe
maybe
to
some
other
areas
of
the
state
to
issue
driver's
license.
They
were
going
to
be
mobile.
I
know,
then
we
got
the
pandemic.
I
was
just
wondering.
Is
that
still
in
the
queue?
A
Julie
Butler
for
the
record
through
you,
madam
chair
to
Senator,
goikachia.
No,
that
that
we
never
did
establish
the
roving
DL
team.
What
we.
P
Did
do
is
put
a
kiosk
out
in
West
Wendover.
Is
that
correct,
yeah
yeah?
We
put
a
kiosk
out
there,
and
so
there
are
no
plans
right
now
to
re-establish
that
mobile
DL
team
yeah,
and
so
there
is
no
plans
for
that.
Maybe
we
could
look
at
that
in
the
future.
As
you
look
at
this
map,
you
know
it's
tough
to
get
a
driver's
license
in
rural
Nevada.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
P
Senator
Titus,
oh
thank
you.
Madam
chair,
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
ask
a
question
good
to
see
you
Mr
Seaver
I'm,
wondering
you
know.
My
question
is
going
to
be
what
what's
our
current
balance
and
how
much
have
you
paid
out
in
the
money
reimbursement
for
those
Tech
fees.
P
And
it's
my
understanding
that
reverts
back
to
the
general
fund,
it
X
time
and
could
just
clarify
that
Julie
Butler
again
for
the
record,
through
your
Madam
chair
to
Senator
Titus.
So
right
now
we
have
distributed
2
million
192
536
dollars
to
sixty
one
thousand
and
five
businesses
and
approximately
74
of
those
checks
have
cleared
so
far.
We
have
issued
73
862
customer
refunds
at
a
total
of
219
437
dollars,
and
that
is
five.
S
And
three
quarter
percent
of
the
3.8
million
available,
so
grand
total
through
January
31st
of
this
year
is
one
million
eight
hundred
thirty
seven
dollars
and
201
837
thousand
dollars
speak
one
million
eight
hundred
thirty
seven
thousand
two
hundred
ninety
three
dollars
and
five
cents,
which
is
approximately
30
of
the
available
funding,
and
when
does
it
revert
back
to
the
general
fund
in
September
of
2023
is
when
this
shows
and
that's
that
it
goes
back
to
the
general
fund
correct,
not
or.
P
The
highway
fund:
okay,
great
second
question:
if
I
might
Madam
chair
when
you
get
back
the
voter
registration
cards,
what
do
you
do
with
them,
but
the
non-delivery.
Q
Q
Sorry
had
fun
a
friend
there,
Julie
Butler
for
the
record
through
you,
madam
chair,
to
Senator
Titus
those
cards
if
they
come
back
as
undeliverable
staff,
shreds
them
all
right.
So
my
concern-
and
this
isn't
I'm
not
going
about
voter
registration.
What
I'm
going
about
is
address
verification.
So
when
somebody
comes
and
registers
gets
a
license,
get
registers
their
car.
Q
Wouldn't
you
want
to
have
an
accurate
address
for
that.
If
there's
an
accident
involving
them
insurance
issues,
Public
Safety,
that
we
just
heard
that
we
don't
have
enough
officers.
So
if
there's
no,
if
there's
I,
don't
you
know
I'm
just
concerned
about
that
because
I'm
hearing
that
you
know
they
come
back
to
you,
you
shred
them,
but
then
you
don't
have
accurate
information
where
the
person
lives
or.
P
If
their
driver's
license
is
accurate
and
anything
you
do
about
that
or
the
registration
is
just
you
you
don't
it
doesn't
matter.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Julie
Butler
for
the
record
through
Madam
chair
to
Senator
Titus.
We
would
love
to
have
our
addresses,
be
accurate.
P
You
know,
but
we
it's
not
all
up
to
us
right.
As
you
know,
if
you
move
across
town,
it's
incumbent
on
the
individual.
Q
To
update
their
address
with
the
department-
and
they
don't
always
do
that,
and
you
know
unfortunately,
there's
no
there's
no
really
double
check
with
with
SOS,
with
with
a
Department
of
Health
and
Human
Services
with
anything.
The
only
time
that
we
per
the
federal
statute
can
update
your
address
is
when
you
are
in
there
doing
a
covered
transaction.
Q
So
so
I'd
love
it.
If
you
know
there
was
some
way
that
you
know
we
had
the
staff
to
make
sure
that
you
know
as
soon
as
you
move,
you
add,
you
know
we
get
your
address,
updated
and,
unfortunately
you
know
we're
relying
on
the
Public's
cooperation
with
that
as
much
as
anything
great.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Thank
you
for
the
information.
Thank
you
very
much
additional
questions
from
the
committee.
Q
Oh
sorry,
Senator
Neil
I
did
not
see
your
hand.
Thank
you
go
ahead.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
So
I
have
a
rural
part
of
my
district
they're,
mostly
seniors,
and
the
most
recent
meeting
that
we
had.
They
talked
about
DMV
and
they
talked
about
how
you've
gone
online
and
that.
P
A
You
actually
are
going
to
show
up
your
75.
You
need
to
go
in
and
get
something
done
and
they're.
You
know:
you've
met
75
year
old,
no
offense
on
seniors,
but
I'm
saying
they
they're.
They
are
paper,
pushers
and
they're,
not
online.
They
if
they
can
physically
talk
to
you
or
talk
to
you
on
the
phone,
that
is
their
100
goal
and
anything
less
than
that
is
a
problem.
And
so
how
are
we
managing
that
right?
We
have
to
have
some
flexibility.
A
Q
Butler
for
the
record,
through
Madam
chair
to
Senator
Neil,
we
we
went
to
an
appointment
only
model
because.
A
I,
don't
have
the
bodies
I,
don't
have
the
bodies
because
we're
not
paying
our
people
and
so
I
don't
have
the
staff
to
do
walk-ins
and
appointments,
and
so
you
know,
while
while
I
am
sympathetic
and
while
we
do
our
best
to
accommodate
those
folks,
that's
the
reality
of
what
we're
dealing
with
you
know
and
I
I.
A
We
do,
we
do
know,
and
you
know
and
I
know
you
know.
Probably
one
of
the
questions
that
that
might
come
up
was.
Why
are
you
asking
for
this
huge
new
building
when
you're
trying
to
push
all
these
transactions
online?
We
know
there
is
a
certain
segment
of
the
population
that
prefers
that
face-to-face
interaction,
that
no
matter
how.
E
Many
transactions
we
put
online
there's
going
to
be
those
that
want
to
walk
in
the
building.
The
facilities
need
to
be
available
for
them
to
do
so.
Also,
you
know
you
can't
put
all
transactions
online
right,
I
mean
you
know,
you're
going
to
take
your
driver's
exam
online
right.
So
you
know
there's
certain
things
that
we're
going
to
have
to
have
a
facility
there.
It's
a
balancing
act.
So
you
know
there.
There
are
certain
trends,
actions
that
that
we
still
do,
except
for
walk-ins
you
can
surrender
a
plate.
E
But
you
know
we
do
make
exceptions
and
allow
those
walk-ins,
but
you
know
by
and
large
we
are
transitioning
to
this
online
model
and
and
I
will
say
you
know
a
point
of
Pride
and
a
shout
out
to
to
my
77
year
old
mother,
who
just
renewed
her
vehicle
registration
online
and
said
it
was
so
easy
and
so
I
think,
there's
hope
for
for
the
senior
community
sure
and
Sean
Mr,
several
too
Madam
chair
if
I
may
Sean
sever
from
the
DMV.
E
We
also
allow
walk-ins
in
our
Urban
offices
on
Saturdays,
and
residents
can
also
come
in
during
the
week
if
they
don't
have
an
appointment
and
make
an
appointment
at
the
door.
E
All
the
legislative
Panic
calls,
and
thank
you
very
much
for
being
that
liaison.
That's
a
that's
a
really
important
piece,
I
believe
Senator
Harris
has
a
question.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I
think
Mr
sever
may
have
addressed
it.
I
was
wondering,
let's
just
say:
I
only
have
internet
access
on
my
mobile
phone
or
I
don't
have
internet
access
at
all.
I
wanted
to
know
if
there
was
some
way
for
me
to
still
make
this
mandatory
appointment
without
being
able
to
go
online.
It
sounds
like
Folks,
at
least
in
the
urban
areas
can
come
in
in
person.
To
then
make
an
appointment
to
come
back.
Is
that
right?
E
Yes,
that's
correct,
and
do
we
know
how
accessible
or
have
we
focused
on
what
the
mobile
version
of
the
website
looks
like
to
ensure
that
it's
compatible
and
usable?
Because
again,
there
are
quite
a
few
people
who
just
rely
on
that.
You
know
4G
on
their
phone
to
get
things
done
and
if
the
website
is
wonky,
it's
almost
not
non-existent.
E
E
Thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you,
madam
chair,
thank
you
and
I
would
tell
you.
The
new
website
which
I
was
on
yesterday,
is
by
any
dice.
So
thank
you
all
right.
Any
additional
questions,
statements,
one
for
the
road.
Okay,
there
we
go.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
concise
and
once
again
thank
you
for
your
team
being
here.
We
know
that
sometimes
you're
in
the
line
of
fire
and
we
recognize
all
your
hard
work.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
all
right
with
that.
E
So
with
that
being
said,
we
will
break
for
lunch
ketchup
and
whatever
else
you
have
to
do,
that's
not
ketchup,
that's
ketchup,
and
we
will
see
you
back
here
at
one
o'clock
for
the
Department
of
Transportation.
Thank
you
very
much.
W
W
Thank
you
again.
I
am
Tracy
Larkin
Thomas
and
the
director
for
the
Nevada
Department
of
Transportation,
and
here
with
me,
I'd
like
to
introduce
at
the
end
I
have
Jeff
LaRue,
who
is
our
deputy
director
for
operations
and
next
to
me,
is
Darren
Tedford
who's,
our
deputy
director
for
project
delivery
and
to
my
right
is
my
strong
and
sturdy
assistant
director
for
finance
for
actually
Administration
and
in
Las.
W
Vegas
I
also
have
Natalie
Lieb
who's
with
budget,
and
also
we
have
with
us
Ashish
Bala,
who
is
the
executive
director
for
the
State
infrastructure,
Bank
and
I'm,
going
to
apologize
a
little
bit
in
advance.
This
is
day
12..
It's
not
meant
to
be
an
excuse,
but
I
might
have
to
turn
over
a
couple
of
the
questions.
W
But
that's
why
I
have
the
X?
We
totally
understand
it's.
Okay.
Phone
A
friend
is
allowed
all
right.
The
next
slide,
please.
W
Okay,
I'll
look
at
this
site
so
basically
going
over
the
leadership
team.
You'll
see
that,
of
course,
as
a
director
we
have
three
assistant
three
Deputy
directors,
two
of
which
I've
already
introduced.
We
also
have
Cole
Morton's
sin,
who's,
our
deputy
director
and
also
State
engineer,
and
then
we
have
four
assistant
directors.
Felicia
you've
met
also
Sandra
Rosenberg
for
planning
I'm.
Sorry
I'm,
going
down
through
my
offices,
Jennica
Keller
for
operations.
W
For
engineering
and
then
also
the
next
slide,
please
I
should
say
we
do
have
nearly
nine
1900
people
when
fully
staffed,
and
we
are
going
to
talk
because
we
do
have
about
400
vacancies.
We
are
about
20
percent
vacancy
rate
on
there
on
slide
three.
This
is
our
missions
and
goal
I'm
not
going
to
read
through
them,
I'm
sure,
you've
seen
them
many
times.
It
is
in
the
front
of
many
much
of
the
literature
you're
going
to
get,
but
I
did
want
to
state
that
I
director
could
I.
W
W
W
W
We
were
on
slide
three,
so
we
were
talking
about
our
missions
and
goal
and
I
said:
I
will
not
read
them
to
you,
but
you
will
see
them
many
times,
but
I
do
want
to
make
a
little
kind
of
a
Spiel
on
here
short.
Is
that
I
really
do
believe.
Transportation
is
fundamental
to
every
other
aspect
of
life,
whether
you're
the
minute
you
leave
the
house,
basically
using
Transportation
sidewalk
bus
scooter
along
those
lines
but
I.
W
Also
it's
a
Harvard
study
has
proven
that
lack
of
reliable
transportation
is
the
greatest
barrier
to
economic
vitality
and
also
just
the
advancement
of
coming
out
of
it,
going
up
economically
in
the
class
I
hate
to
say,
class
system,
but
basically
moving
up
the
ladder
and
also
I
have
referenced
a
lot
about
infrastructure
and
on
there.
But
it's
also
the
services
we
provide,
so
I
will
go
into
number
four,
the
department
overview
and
basically,
we
have
5354
center
lane
miles
and
that's
just
measuring
the
center
of
it.
W
There's
over
13
000
of
Miles,
which
means,
if
you
have
a
four-lane
highway.
You
multiply
that
center
line
by
four
we
have
1238,
Bridges
and
I
do
want
to
say
that
one
area
where
we
are
truly
excellent
is
we
have
been
number
one
on
bridges
in
the
nation
for
the
past
eight
years,
so
the
condition
of
feel
safe.
W
Anyone
any
Bridge
you
cross,
50
of
the
Nevada
roads,
are
on
the
state
system,
but
carry
about
50
percent
of
all
vehicle
traffic,
70
of
truck
traffic
and
68
of
heavy
truck
traffic
on
Slide
Five.
W
The
department
is
divided
into
three
districts.
You
have
in
the
Northeast,
where
you're
located
at
is
District
Two.
Basically,
Reno
tile
goes
out
to
a
little
past,
Lovelock
to
Rye
patch
and
then,
of
course,
a
Tahoe
Basin
and
goes
down
through
Hawthorne
district.
One
is
Las
Vegas
and
it
goes
up
to
Tonopah
and
then
in
the
Northeast
we
have
Elko,
which
covers
Winnemucca
Ely
and
the
Elko.
Of
course.
In
between
there
we
have
a
number
of
maintenance
stations
throughout
the
state
substations
where
they
to
basically
cover
all
the
rural
areas.
W
So
we
have
a
little
over
I
think
it's
42
different
maintenance
stations
in
the
state
on
slide
six
contributing
to
Nevada's
economy.
So,
basically
we
talk
about
Job
years
and
I
want
to
explain
that
a
job
year
is
simply
one
job
for
every
year,
so
to
estimate
Nevada's
impact
on
the
economy
for
every
76
293
dollars
spent
on
a
project
where
Capital
outlay
program
equals
one
year
and
that
source
is
for
the
Council
of
economic
advisors,
guidance
and
transportation
infrastructure
spending
and
we
drop
these
jobs
into
three
categories.
So
first
we
have
the
direct
jobs.
W
That's
the
jobs
created
when
we
actually
put
out
a
project,
a
government-sponsored
project,
indirect
jobs
which
are
the
jobs
created
for
suppliers
who
make
the
materials
and
use
the
project,
and
then
the
last
one
is
induce
job.
Basically,
as
we
have
jobs
for
the
first
one,
you
then
have
create
more
I'm
trying
to
take
the
right
word,
I'm,
sorry,
but
they
have
more
discretionary
funds
where
they
can
spend
and
that
helps
the
economy
around
there
so
going
out
and
moving
on
restaurants
and
so
on.
W
So
it's
the
next
slide.
We
want
to
talk
about
major
projects
in
2024
and
25
in
southern
Nevada.
We
have
the
Henderson
interchange,
with
a
current
estimate
of
350
million
design,
build
slated
to
go
out
in
the
RFP
and
later
on
this
year
in
the
fall
of
this
year
in
Northern
Nevada,
one
of
the
largest
ones
is
the
U.S
395
McCarran
to
Golden
Valley
structure,
170
million
and
that
design
build
bid.
Build
is
scheduled
to
advertise
in
the
third
quarter
in
real
enough
and
then
in
I-80
on
the
Humboldt
and
Churchill
counties.
W
These
are
two
projects,
that's
maybe
about
48
million
and
then,
of
course,
we
have
brightline
the
rail
train,
which
is
while
we
are
overseeing
the
project
that
is
not
using
Highway
funding.
That
is
fully
funded
elsewhere,
but
we
are
there.
We
are
the
person
who
that
we
are.
The
entity
will
be
submitting
the
grant,
which
is
due
March
1st
so
later
on
this
month.
W
So
on
the
next
one,
we
utilize
the
highway
user
fees,
federal
aid
and
for
2024
only
per
Governor
Lombardo's
recommended
budget.
The
general
fund
authorization
to
fund
approximately
99
of
the
operations
with
the
governor's
recommended
budget,
you
will
see
that
replaced
an
estimated
250.9
million
of
Highway
funds
with
General
funds
in
order
to
show
the
governor's
tax
initiative.
W
That's
basically
250
on
the
gas
tax
initiative
and
6.9
is
the
general
fund
that
we
normally
have
for
the
radio
system
upgrade
the
Federal
Aid
highway
program
is
a
reimbursable
program
and
it's
required
on
upfront
expenditure
of
Highway
funds
and
due
to
the
high
percentage
of
federal
funds
in
our
state,
most
fhw
requires
require
only
a
five
percent
match
and
this
is
as
opposed
to
20
match
in
Most
states.
So
we
got
really
pretty
good
bang
for
our
state
Dollar
on
the
federal
match.
W
AA
Bill
which
increased
federal
aid
apportionment
to
Nevada
by
approximately
20
percent
in
federal
fiscal
year,
2022
and
2
percent
each
Federal
fiscal
year
thereafter.
This
has
been
certainly
a
welcome
part.
I.
Do
want
to
do
a
little
bit
of
a
cautionary
note
is
that
that
is
also
eaten
up
by
a
lot
of
inflation,
so
why
we
showed
about
an
18
to
20
percent
increase.
AA
On
this
year
there
has
been
over
a
20
increase
in
construction
costs
just
through
inflation,
we'll
talk
about
that
a
little
bit
later
for
fiscal
2024,
and
that
is
requesting
authorization
to
sell
Bonds
in
the
amount
of
150
million
100
million
to
be
paid
with
State
fuel
tax
and
50
million
with
fuel
Revenue
indexing
do
note
that
we
do
not
exceed
the
two
times
cap
of
the
highway
fund
in
F5,
FY
23,
and
then,
let's
see
next
slide,
the
department
has
seven
enhancement
decision
units
to
discuss
well,
basically,
six
enhancement
ones.
AA
The
last
one
shown
is
a
one
shot.
That's
a
e380
radio
is
a
one
shot
apportionment
of
29.7
million
in
2024
and
that's
the
upgrade
to
the
radio
system
that
is
also
used
by
law
enforcement,
First,
Responders
and
so
on
so
we'll
talk.
We
will
reference
it
a
little
bit
later
in
another
slide
inside
next
slide.
AA
With
the
replacing
of
equipment
we
are
requesting-
20.4
million
in
both
fiscal
year,
2024
and
2025..
This
is
with
the
current
rate
of
inflation.
The
equipment
costs
are
increasing
about
20
each
year.
So
even
once
going
out
that
we've
ordered
there
are
times
when
we
have
to
pay
more
before
they're
actually
delivered,
we
are
having
to
failure
to
effectively
replace
our
equipment
impact
submission
of
our
team
members,
but
I
also
want
to
say
48
of
our
Fleet
meets
the
condition
criteria
for
replacement,
which
means
only
52,
which
means
52
percent
is
overdue
for
replacement.
AA
We
are
and
I
hate
to
kind
of
admit
this,
but
we
are
last
in
the
nation
by
far
in
the
condition
of
our
Fleet,
so
we're
showing,
like
I,
said
about
48
meeting
the
condition
criteria.
Most
states
best
practices
should
be
eight
to
ten
percent,
so
that
is
a
huge
difference
and
then
the
next
slide
we're
just
talking
about
new
equipment,
and
that
is
the
operational
equipment,
so
that
is
a
replacement
of
computers,
Furniture
testing
equipment.
AA
We
also
have
a
ride
van
with
instruments
for
just
a
little
under
a
million
dollars
that
is
required
to
gather
information
around
the
state
for
federal
reporting
requirements.
So
there's
another
thing:
they
literally
drive
around
the
state,
they
do
light
or
they
do
all
things.
They
measure
signals,
Lane,
widths,
sidewalks,
basically
an
inventory
that
is
then
reported
to
the
to
the
the
federal
thing
and
that's
how
we
actually
work
towards
some
of
the
federal
apportionment
apportionment.
That's
part
of
the
reporting
structure
for
that
and
then
another
5
million
for
non-rental
equipment.
AA
On
the
next
slide,
we
do
say
again:
all
equipment
is
lit.
That
listed
is
vital
to
our
transportation
system
and
certainly
to
our
operations.
The
survey
equipment,
the
new
GPS
systems,
replace
existing
outdated
equipment
and
it's
currently
unable
to
perform
the
needed
the
needed
processes
without
addition
to
the
existing
equipment.
AA
Also,
the
under
bridge
instruction
truck
these
things
are
not
cheap,
I
mean
by
any
stretch,
but
it's
over
like
1.2
million
dollars.
Please
note
that
ndot
is
required,
as
every
state
is
required
to
inspect
all
public
Bridges
every
two
years,
and
that
is
also
that
goes
in
the
inventory
and
that's
how
we
rate
that
we
become
number
one,
but
it
is
identifying
early
on
if
there's
any
deficiencies,
the
truck
mounted
Culvert
cleaner.
That
is
definitely
something
particularly
as
we
get
storms.
AA
We
get
fires
and
other
things
we
want
to
keep
those
clear
so
that
we
can
address
storm
water
issues
and
they
so
that
doesn't
back
up
and
we
don't
get
other
concerns
with
that.
Those
go
around
the
state,
a
matter
of
fact.
We
have
some
emergency
contracts
going
on
it
currently
in
Northern
Nevada
here
because
of
the
amount
of
snow
and
the
runoff
that's
coming
out,
so
making
sure
that
we
get
all
the
debris
and
things
out
of
the
culverts
and
moving
it
forward.
AA
Dozers
400,
the
purchase
of
those
we
have
over
half
of
our
dozers
need
to
be
replaced
around
the
state.
We're
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
those
later,
but
basically
between
the
dozers
and
the
what's.
The
other
piece
of
equipment-
pardon
Motors,
loaders,
I'm,
sorry,
dozers
and
loaders
I
need
a
kid
with
a
little
toy.
So
I
can
remember
those
actually
there's
a
saving
of
over
720
000
per
year
by
having
purchasing
them
as
opposed
to
renting
them
and
that's
per
biennium-
that's
not
liking
during
the
lifetime.
AA
That
is
every
two
years
on
the
next
Slide,
the
maintenance
of
buildings
and
grounds.
Obviously,
that's
important
to
have
appropriate
working
spaces
protection
of
equipment
and
make
sure
that
we're
standing
up
to
environmental
criteria,
stormwater
criteria.
So
some
of
the
things
that
we're
looking
at
in
district
one
we're
doing
the
Washington
Street
Rehabilitation.
If
any
of
you
are
familiar
with
our
yard
in
the
South,
there's
a
number
of
deficiencies
that
we
need
to
look
around
not
only
in
the
buildings
themselves,
but
also
in
looking
at
remediation
on
some
groundwater
fuel
Etc.
AA
We
have
an
assurance
lab
in
Las,
Vegas,
3.1,
construction
of
spunk
structures
in
Mina,
Montgomery
pass
and
panaca,
and
a
new
Administrative
Building.
Also
at
the
Washington
structure.
That
thing
is
decades
old,
literally
built
I,
think
in
the
early
40s,
so
District
Two
there's
some
improvement
at
the
galetti
DMV
building.
There's
a
rehab
of
the
Virginia
City
Maintenance
station,
the
design
for
the
new
Lovelock
station,
The
Gazette
system
replacement,
that's
the
Avalanche
control
system
around
Lake
Tahoe
and
then
moving
putting
some
brine
equipment
around
different,
more
strategically
around
the
north.
AA
That's
part
of
the
things
that
actually
we
use
as
mitigation
with
any
snow
coming
in
and
weather
related,
then
in
District,
three
Wash
Rack,
that's
also
again
just
with
Environmental
Protection
of
the
yard
designed
for
the
new
Elko
Administrative
Building
and
taking
replacing
some
failed
retaining
walls
and
Quinn
Weber
of
the
bay
extension
designs,
some
of
the
older
buildings.
They
cannot
accommodate
the
equipment
any
longer.
They
simply
don't
have
the
length.
AA
On
the
next
slide
for
new
positions
as
a
transposition
to
go,
additional
positions
are
required
to
require
the
effectively,
and
it
also
is
needed
to
do
some
of
the
changing
type
of
job
work,
we're
doing,
such
as
as
more
I.T
positions.
There's
more
thing
with
its,
as
opposed
to
some
of
the
more
traditional
positions
that
we
request.
We
are
requesting
50
positions,
that's
12
in
administration,
10
in
engineering,
nine
construction,
17
it
and
One
Pilot.
AA
We,
the
pilot
one,
is
to
make
sure
that
we
can
effectively
keep
the
planes
up
and
going
and
also
meet
some
of
the
address,
some
of
the
limitations
we
have
on
what
they,
how
long
they
can
fly
that
type
of
parameters,
the
rest
area
initiative,
and
we
can
certainly
we
have.
Of
course,
if
you
want
a
breakdown
of
the
very
specific
of
what
those
positions
are,
we
have
that,
of
course,
listed
for
slight
for
the
rest
area
initiative,
many
of
those
that
were
actually
built
in
the
1970s
1977.
AA
We
are
looking
at
replacing
three
of
them
and
starting
that
is
a
trinity
biwawi
in
Miller
a
trinity
station.
If
you
know
where
that
is,
it's
I-80
and
it
goes
down
headed
down
to
Fallon,
it
gets
over
use
of
about
179
000
stops
a
year.
Second,
and
then
would
be
wowie
is
about
136
000.,
so
these
are
very
needed,
they're,
very
strategically
placed
and
very
well
used.
AA
So,
let's
see
on
the
next
system
the
fueling
system.
This
is
something
that
we
started
in
2015
and
2017
to
start
to
replace
the
basically,
the
fuel
pumps
were
failing
with
around
the
state,
so
we
started
with
replacement.
We
are
considerably
done
with
it.
We
have
I,
think
26
are
complete.
We
have
three
more
going
out
this
year
and
then
we
have
15
left
that
just
need
to
be
just
have
upgrades
instead
of
full
re
replacement,
and
please
note
that
these
fueling
stations,
we
have
5
000
card
using
that
use
them.
AA
So
it's
not
just
end
at
a
matter
of
fact.
We
of
all
the
users
there.
We
are
the
least
ones
that
use
that
system,
as
mainly
law
enforcement,
some
of
the
school
system.
It
is
First
Responders
and
in
any
emergency
situation
that
is
usually
set
up
and
we
we
address
the
the
needs
depending
on
what
the
emergency
is,
but
it
is,
it's
actually
very
vital.
A
lot
of
this
also
included
replacing
when
we
went
on
the
sites,
the
underground
tanks,
looking
to
make
sure
that
there
was
no
leakage
and
I'll.
AA
Those
as
they
address
like
I,
said
I'm
pleased
to
say
that
it
is
almost
done
or
we've
made
considerable
progress,
but
I'll
be
very
happy
when
they
are
done,
and
it
was
also
staggered
specifically
so
that
when
they
end
up
end
of
its
life
cycle,
this
time
we
don't
again
hit
where
it
all
fails
at
once
across
the
system
and
the
next
one
we
have
in
the
radio
system
replacement.
We
have
the
Nevada
shared
radio
system
for
ongoing
operations
and
emergency
response.
AA
This
was
a
project
that
is
a
public-private
partnership
with
Envy
energy
and
Washoe
County.
It
is
Statewide,
it
is
also
it
is
complex
due
to
the
required
technology
in
the
site
locations,
because
a
lot
of
our
remote
mountaintops
with
difficult
terrain.
What
we
are
showing
on
here
is
only
our
portion
of
what
the
overall
one
I
think.
The
overall
one
was
63.5
I'm,
sorry,
I
can't
read,
our
portion
is
69
million
and
the
total
project
was.
AA
AA
Oh
I,
actually
one
other
point
was
on
there.
It's
part
of
the
thing
on
the
radio
system
that
has
delayed
it.
There
have
been
supply
chain
issues
and
covid-19
also
just
affected
the
progress
of
it.
So
now
we're
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
of
some
of
our
critical
issues,
primarily
the
one
of
the
biggest
one
is
inflation.
The
cost
has
gone
up
significantly
and
we're
not
seeing
anything.
That's
going
to
be
dropping
so
we're
looking.
A
At
asphalt
being
about
19
and
then
diesel
fuel
is
about
33
percent
and
then
also
even
equipment
is
up
20,
as
mentioned
earlier.
So
there
are
some
of
the
limited
availability
along
with
like
I
said.
The
supply
chain
is
just
driving
it
up
and
when
I
say,
supply
chain
challenge
is
theirs,
because
often
many
now
we
have
on
a
lot
of
our
projects
that
are
already
out
there.
AB
And
those
are
particularly
things
like
signal
poles
and
other
critical
parts
to
it
on
position
vacancy
we
are
High,
I
mean
this
is
definitely
a
critical
issue.
For
us,
the
average
part
is
26,
but
when
you
actually
get
out
in
the
field
and
you're
talking
maintenance,
we
are
averaging
50
to
75
percent
vacancy
rates
and
the
maintenance
part,
and,
just
frankly,
it's
due
to
pay.
That's
just
the
pay
part
on
there,
the
majority
of
one.
We
have
done
some
studies
on
there
in
a
lot
of
those
areas.
AB
AC
What
that
has
done
to
it
just
shows
their
the
full-time
position
vacancies.
So
we've
gone
up.
AB
I
think
this
slide
just
says
it
beyond
that,
then
the
high
cost,
just
we
would
just
want
to
emphasize
that
what
that
does
mean
is
as
it
moves
forward.
It
does
affect
some
of
the
mission
of
it
that
there
are
times
when
they're
working
overtime
in
these
last
snowstorms.
You
know,
while
we're
still
maintaining
the
the
mandates
on
how
long
they
can
work
and
so
on.
AB
We
are
literally
had
a
few
snow
plows
that
were
not
out
there,
because
we
did
not
have
drivers
to
put
in
them,
and
those
are
the
concerns
that
I'm
worried
about
are
some
of
the
more
critical
aspect,
because
many
times
our
people
are
the
First
Responders.
They
are
the
first
ones
on
this,
the
site
and
that's
across
the
state,
and
that
concludes.
AB
A
AC
I
A
AB
AB
AB
Okay,
so
thank
you
for
your
Indulgence
members.
My
name
is
Ashish
Bala
executive
director
of
the
Nevada
state
infrastructure
Bank.
The
bank
was
originally
established
in
2017
under
AB
399.
It
was
subsequently
provided
some
more
statutory,
Authority
and
SB
430
in
the
2021
session
and
I
was
appointed
on
September
19
2022
to
be
the
executive
director.
AB
Can
we
go
to
the
next
slide
and
say?
Thank
you.
So
the
bank's
mission
is
to
be
the
boutique
lending
facility,
a
first
choice
for
Innovative
special
projects
in
the
state
of
Nevada.
Next
slide.
Please.
AB
The
cost
of
not
having
this
institution
is
a
loss
of
business,
loss
of
sales
and
jobs
in
the
state
of
Nevada
nevadans
want
companies
that
are
in
their
local
communities
that
invest
in
jobs
in
their
communities.
For
today
and
for
the
markets
of
tomorrow
and
I'd
like
to
specifically
say
you
know,
the
bank
is
really
about
markets
about
the
creation
of
markets,
about
the
sustaining
of
markets
and
about
the
advancement
of
markets.
We
really
see
jobs
as
an
output
of
markets
that
are
efficient
and
effective
and
and
a
little
bit
more
on
jobs.
AB
AB
So
the
solution
is
the
bank
close
the
gap.
The
bank
will
make
financing
available
for
social
and
general
infrastructure
projects
at
competitive
market
rates,
we'll
provide
cost
savings
by
reduced
expenses
for
borrowers,
investing
in
infrastructure
projects
in
Nevada,
our
Target
clients
are
Nevada
governmental
entities,
both
state
and
local
Nevada,
Indian
reservations
and
Indian
colonies
and
a
private
non-pro,
any
private
non-profit
entities.
AB
AB
This
is
a
little
overview
of
the
types
of
financing
that
are
available
from
the
bank.
These
authorities
are
laid
out
in
Statute
in
NRS
chapter
408
and
include
the
following
loan
agreements:
trust
and
Dentures
security
agreements,
reimbursement
agreements,
guarantee
agreements,
bonds
or
notes,
and
ordinance
or
resolutions
or
similar
instruments.
AB
Next
slide,
please
sorry,
I
was
supposed
to
say
yeah,
oh
investment
policy
along
the
same
line,
but
yes,
investment.
These
slides
are
a
little
bit
of
an
overview
of
our
investment
policy,
and
this
is
our
investment
objectives.
The
bank
makes
decisions
based
off
of
three
objectives
that
are
our
priorities.
The
first
is
safety.
The
safety
of
the
principle
is
the
foremost
objective
of
the
investment
program.
Investments
in
the
bank
shall
be
undertaken
to
ensure
the
preservation
of
capital
and
the
portfolio
through
the
mitigation
of
credit
risk
and
interest
rate
risk.
AB
Second,
priority
is
liquidity.
The
bank
investments
will
remain
sufficiently
liquid
to
enable
us
to
meet
all
reasonably
anticipated
cash
flow
requirements.
And,
finally,
the
bank
makes
decisions
based
off
of
the
return
and
investment.
The
bank
seeks
to
enhance
the
financial
return
consistent
with
The
Prudent
protection
of
its
Investments,
while
conforming
to
all
applicable
State
statutes
governing
the
investment
of
these
public
funds.
These
are
investment
objectives
that
have
been
laid
out
in
the
investment
policy
approved
by
the
board
of
the
bank.
Next
slide,
please.
AB
This
is
a
overview
of
the
three
funds
that
the
bank
has
currently
established.
The
first
fund
is
a
charter.
School
Capital
needs
revolving
account
that
has
15
million.
The
second
is
an
affordable
housing
revolving
account
that
has
20
million.
The
third
is
a
federal
infrastructure
matching
account
with
40
million
the
slightest
last.
40
million
can
also
be
used
for
the
state
general
infrastructure
account
at
the
direction
and
approval
of
the
board
next
slide.
Please.
AB
These
are
some
potential
Transportation
type
of
infrastructure
projects
that
the
bank
can
Finance.
Some
are
title:
33,
Highway
construction,
paddle,
49,
Transit
capital
projects
and
also
railroad
projects,
so
just
a
little
overview.
Although
the
eligible
project
definition
in
statute
is
quite
Broad
next
slide,
please.
AB
This
is
a
review
of
the
goals
of
the
interest
rate
methodology
that
have
been
laid
out
in
the
interest
rate
setting
methodology
by
the
Board
of
the
bank.
I
won't
read
all
of
these,
but
you
can
see
that
there
are
five
goals:
mitigation
risk,
increasing
the
attractiveness
of
loans
allowing
for
interest
rates,
adjustments,
ensuring
that
the
viability
of
the
bank
in
setting
interest
rates
appropriately
and
then
achieving
our
previous.
Our
previously
mentioned
goals
as
well.
AB
Next
slide,
please
foreign.
This
is
an
overview
of
the
interest
rate
methodology
application.
The
bank
offers
an
interest
rate
based
off
of
an
MMD
Municipal
Market
data
index
and,
after
that,
the
board
of
directors
can
apply
these
seven
factors
or
consider
these
seven
factors
and
any
adjustments
that
may
be
necessary
for
the
project
and
in
the
best
interest
of
the
state.
Next
slide,
please.
AB
This
is
a
overview
of
the
borrow
application
process,
as
currently
laid
out
by
Statute
regulation
and
policy.
It's
currently
under
review
to
ensure
that
we
are
effectively
and
efficiently
moving
funds
out
the
door.
However,
this
really
just
sort
of
lays
out
the
specific,
from
intake
from
review
to
application
of
the
interest
rate
to
reviewing
statutory
eligibility
conducting
an
underwriting
process
requiring
any
other
additional
information
to
be
provided
to
the
board.
AB
The
board
voting
to
confirm
any
qualified
project
and
qualified
borrowers,
the
bank
authorizing
staff
to
transfer
funds
and
confirm
the
origination
in
signing
nav
documents
and
then
the
bank
receiving
payments
from
the
borrower
next
slide.
Please.
AB
AB
AB
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
appreciate,
I
have
a
couple
questions
actually
actually
more
than
that
I
think.
First
off
you
didn't
mention
anything
about
airports
as
a
pilot
and
worries
about
our
security
of
our
airports.
Our
state
I
understand
that
airports
are
under
the
authority
of
ndot.
Is
that
not
correct?
AB
We
have
very
limited
Authority,
we
do
receive
some
funding
and
what
we
do
is
we
go
out
and
we
inspect
the
air.
The
smaller
airports
around
the
state-
and
it's
generally
for
things
like
is
the
runway.
Long
enough
is
the
condition
of
the
runway
in
appropriate
condition.
Is
there
fencing
around
it?
We
do
not
do
anything
with
McCarran
the
Harry
Reid
airport
or
the
Reno
Tahoe
Airport
correct,
but
the
director
of
the
airport,
I'm,
not
sure
whether
the
title
is
I
know
is
under
indot.
AB
Is
housed
in
and
you're
under
you
and
the
office?
Is
that
not
correct
Felicia
Denny
for
the
record,
I
believe
you're,
probably
referring
to
Kurt
halkel
correct?
And,
yes,
he
does
work
for
in
time.
Okay,
so
I
I
spoke
at
their
last
meeting
and
they
have
one
coming
up
and
there's
just
big
concerns
over
the
funding.
AB
Obviously
they're
not
very
visible,
even
to
you,
the
new
director
and
so
just
wondering
that
I
think
that's
an
important
component
as
we
try
to
get
Commerce
throughout
our
state
and
and
maybe
look
at
a
I
know.
A
Bill's
been
brought
forward
to
connect
to
Elco
and
some
of
those
fundings
and
I
would
just
kind
of
like
to
see
some
more
information
on
the
interest
of
indot
and
making
sure
that
that
particular
department
is
is
stood
up.
So
obviously
you
answer
that
question
and
I
guess
I
should
have
started
by
saying.
Thank
you.
AB
I
think
ndot
has
done
a
great
job
in
our
local
area.
I,
live
between
I,
live
in
Smith,
Valley
and
so
that
that
flood
and
that
rock
slide
and
Wilson
Canyon
has
been
huge
and
got
on
board
immediately
and
got
things
moving
and
I've
been
seeing
pictures
of
the
rocks
and
boulders
happening.
So
thank
you
for
what
you
do
do.
AB
My
next
question
is
regarding
the
50
new
positions
that
you're
asking
for
you
said
you
have
a
20
vacancy
and
that's
407.
People
are
vacant
right
now,
but
yet
you
want
50
more.
So
can
you
tell
me
what
the
legit
Logistics
are
there
when
you
can't
hire
the
407,
but
now
you
want
50
more
what
what's
really
going
to
happen
there
Tracy
Larkin
Thomason
for
the
record
one
of
the
things.
Then
that's
actually
one
of
the
things
I
started
to
look
at
on
there.
AB
One
of
our
highest
vacancy
rates
is
in
our
maintenance
area
in
the
field
ones.
We
did
not
ask
for
any
positions
in
there.
What
primarily
positions
are
like
an
I.T
I
believe
that
was
14
of
them.
There's
some
admin
support,
I,
I'm,
afraid
I
can't
go
in
much
deeper
on
that
right
now,
but
happy
to
provide
you
more
information
on
the
specifics
right,
but
but
the
highest
vacancy
rate
is
in
maintenance
and
construction
out
in
the
field,
but
those
were
ones.
AB
We
did
not
ask
for
replacement
on
okay,
great
because
having
traveling
through
here
in
Smith
Valley
all
the
time
and
knowing
that
there's
a
dearth
of
snow
plow
drivers
and
I
know
up
in
my
Senator
in
mid
Central
Nevada.
That
is
that's
sometimes
hard
to
get
those,
but
thank
you
for
those
that
are
working
and
getting
that
done
and
one
more
question:
if
I
might
Madam
chair?
Yes,
one
more!
AB
Thank
you
so
Highway
11.,
you
didn't
mention
that
it's
been
I'd
love
to
see
an
update,
I've
gotten
brochures
in
the
past
on
the
plans
of
highway
11.
just
would
love
to
hear
an
update
on
where
that
project
is.
How
far
and
the
planning
are
you
and
just
what
has
actually
been
done,
trying
to
connect
both
ends
of
our
state?
AB
That's
going
through
will
be
part
of
kind
of
on
the
south
end
of
Las
Vegas
will
be
part
of
the
I-11,
and
then
we
of
course,
are
looking
at
as
we
move
up
the
95
Corridor,
which
has
been
designated
as
part
of
the
future
I-11
there's
still
it's
a
slow-moving
thing,
we're
also
working
with
our
partners
in
Arizona,
and
we
have
been
I'm
behind
a
few
years
on
asking
asking
what
their
projects
are,
but
the
new
their
new
director,
Jennifer
Toth,
actually
was
the
planning
director
that
I
was
working
with
when
we
initiated
i11
study
back
then
great,
so
you
have
a
historical
knowledge
of
that.
AB
It's
just
that
you
know.
I
represent
six
different
rural
counties
that
that
highway
is
a
big
question
to
them.
Which
towns
is
going
to
skip
what
town
will
it
go
through,
and
so
it's
something
that
people
at
my
constituents
ask
me
about
not
infrequently.
So
thank
you
for
all
of
that.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
and
we'll
go
to
assemblywoman
Bacchus.
AB
Thank
you,
director
and
everyone
else
that
helped
with
the
presentation.
I
just
had
a
quick
question
on
Slide.
It's
not
numbered,
but
it's
about
the
fueling
system
upgrade
I
was
just
curious.
I
noticed
that
you
had
indicated
that
there
needed
to
be
improvements
to
the
because
I
guess
there
were
the
E85
and
biodiesel
Vehicles,
the
yard
I'm,
assuming
that's
what's
providing
the
location
that
provides
the
fueling
is
out
of
compliance.
AB
So
my
question
was
I
was
just
curious
where
that
was
located
in
the
Las
Vegas
area
and
then
also
do
we
have
like
fleets
and
equipment
that
we're
still
using
that
are
utilizing
these
alternative
fueling
systems,
yes
to
the
last
one
we
still
have
one
in
the
fleet.
The
main
part
is
in
the
Washington
yard,
that's
off
of
Washington
Street,
it's
the
main
maintenance
station
in
Las
Vegas,
it's
more
deficient
than
it
is
than
the
word
that
you
used
I'm.
Sorry,
it
needs
to
be
brought
up
date.
AB
Oftentimes,
the
pumps
are
not
working,
they're
failing,
and
that
is
the
primary
area
where
we
get
the
fuel
for
the
majority
of
the
maintenance
workers.
We
also
have
fueling
stations
at
the
South
yard,
which
is
next
to
fast,
so
we
do
have
an
Alternatives
there.
Most
of
the
alternate
fuel
like
E85
is.
AB
AB
To
fuel
up
and
come
back
but
like
I,
said
it's
it's
more,
that
it's
deficient
than
it
than
it's
on
that
it's
out
of
compliance.
AB
Thank
you
very
much.
Assemblywoman
kasama.
AB
Thank
you
chair.
Just
a
couple
questions
to
understand
the
process.
The
the
infrastructure
Bank
comes
under
the
Department
of
Transportation.
Is
that
because
it's
viewed
that
many
of
the
projects
will
be
Transportation
projects,
because
because
the
infrastructure
Bank
isn't
just
restricted
to
Transportation
projects,
correct
truth,
yeah.
AB
Go
ahead
down
in
Las,
Vegas
sure,
thank
you
to
the
chair
through
the
assembly
woman,
Ashish
Paul
executive
director
for
the
record.
Yes,
I
just
mentioned
some
of
the
transportation
projects
the
bank
is
in
the
department
of
transportation
pursuant
to
statute
and
regulation.
However,
the
definition
of
eligible
projects
in
statute
is
much
broader
and
Beyond
just
Transportation
projects.
AB
AB
AB
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Going
back
to
the
issue
on
position.
Vacancies
I
believe
and
feel
free
to
correct
me.
If
I'm
wrong,
I
think
you
mentioned
that
in
certain
positions
in
certain
areas
there's
up
to
a
42
percent
pay
discrepancy
but
I.
You
know
and
I
see
that
there's
the
proposed
edition
of
of
many
new
positions
and
you
provided
some
of
the
background
on
the
extremely
high
vacancy
rates.
AB
So
I
guess
the
one
of
the
questions
I
have
is
do,
and
so
it
seems
with
no
other
enhancements
like
step
increases
or
other
things.
They're
all
there's
the
proposed
eight
percent
and
four
percent
for
for
state
employees.
So
how
is
that
going
to
address
a
42
percent
pay
discrepancy
and
are
we
going
to
be
able
to
to
reduce
sufficiently
reduce
vacancies
and
and
recruit
for
those
new
positions
that
are
being
added.
AB
Director
Tracy
Larkin
for
the
record,
I
honestly,
don't
know,
and
simply
for
the
fact
that
it
is
definitely
a
step
in
the
right
direction
and
it
is
more
than
they
have
seen
in
quite
some
time.
But
what
we're
also
seeing
around
the
state
is
also
in
like
some
of
the
rural
areas.
A
Because
mining
is
going
up,
they
are
actually
buying
out
the
housing.
So
what
we're
finding
is
what
was
before
affordable
housing
in
more
of
the
rural
areas
like
in
Austin
and
at
Elko,
and
some
of
the
others
they
can
no
longer
afford
to
buy
houses
there.
So
that's
kind
of
just
acerbates
the
the
situation
in
many
areas.
You
know
many
of
them
have
lived
in
around
the
state.
They've
been
in
the
area,
some
of
them
and
God
bless
them.
A
I
will
have
to
tell
you
that
my
field
Personnel,
are
incredible
and
I
I
thank
assemblywoman
Titus
for
her
comment
before,
because
when
there
is
emergencies,
they
absolutely
shine,
I'm,
hoping
that
it
will
help
at
least
Stave
off
and
help
it
to
settle
down.
But
we
are
looking
at
a
lot
where
our
topped
out
part
is
actually
at
the
bottom
of
the
adjacent
agencies.
A
Go
ahead.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
appreciate
that,
and
you
know
I
know
you
also
talked
about
inflation,
the
the
impacts
of
inflation
on
the
agency.
A
You
know
it
looks
like
kind
of
the
the
net
budget
change
over
the
biennium
is
going
to
be
17
or
so,
and
that
includes
the
influx
of
federal
funds.
A
I
think
it
includes
a
decrease
in
the
highway
fund.
Even
though
Highway
fund
revenues
are
actually
projected
to
increase
because
I
think
of
the
proposed
tax
holiday
and
from
q1
21
to.
AC
2022
Highway
construction
inflation
was
20
percent
higher,
so
it
seems
like
at
the
end
of
the
day
where
we're
heading
is
not
even
going
to
catch
up
with
with
inflation
and
I
know,
there's
been
a
lot
of
conversations
around
Highway
funding,
but
I
guess
again,
looking
I
guess
stepping
out
a
little
bit
from
just
the
staffing
issues
to
some
of
the
projects.
T
T
Thank
you.
Madam
chair
you've
probably
heard
me
grumbling.
T
Civil
engineers
and
many
of
them
ended
up
at
ndot,
but
didn't
last
very
long.
The
turnover
at
ndot
has
historically
been
really
fast
well
often
less
than
two
years,
and
the
positions
that
these
young
Engineers
are
put
in
is
a
little
overwhelming
in
some
cases.
So
it's
not
just
about
Recruitment
and
Retention.
T
That
was
my
soapbox,
but
my
question
has
to
do
with
your
statement
earlier
about
the
dozers
and
how
purchasing
dozers
is
cheaper
than
renting
dozers,
but
it's
not
clear
in
my
documentation
whether
that
includes
the
maintenance
and
operation
costs
of
those
as
well,
which
is
often
included
in
those
rental
rates
and
whether
that
was
considered
in
your
determination
that
was
cheaper
for
the
state
to
purchase
them
and
own
them
than
to
just
rent
them.
T
Yes,
it
was
considered
I'm,
sorry,
Tracy
Larkin
for
the
record.
Yes,
that
was
considered
in
there.
We
do
there's,
usually
a
fairly
detailed
look
at
what
the
operations
and
maintenance
is
and
then
also
even
the
mobilization,
but
where
we
can
get
them
where
they're
located
over
the
lifetime.
A
loader
is
expected
to
last
about
20
years.
T
The
payback
on
there
if
you're,
using
that
720k
I
was
looking
at,
is
about
nine
years.
May
I
have
a
follow-up
real
quick
does.
Do
you
already
have
a
flatbed
to
transport
these
on
because
for
one
for
the
whole
state?
Okay,
do
you
have
more
than
one
in
case
you
need
to
move
both
of
these
pieces
of
equipment
across
the
state.
There
is
more
than
one
flatbed.
Okay!
Thank
you.
T
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
Thank
you
chair.
My
question
has
to
do
with
the
slide
that
had
to
do
with
the
major
projects
pretty
early
on,
and
it
almost
was
kind
of
a
comment
about
almost
a
throwaway
I'm,
the
granddaughter
of
a
Railroader,
so
I'm
always
interested
in
the
railroads.
T
You
mentioned
that
the
railroad
funding,
I,
guess
upkeep
or
changes
is
elsewhere,
but
the
oversight
is
based
upon
ndot.
Can
you
go
into
that
a
little
bit
more
number
one,
but
the
number
two
as
well
I
know
that
nationally
there's
a
large
amount
of
infrastructure,
especially
with
how
much
more
active
the
rail
railroad
is
becoming.
T
Do
we
have
the
staff
that
can
handle
this
oversight
with
how
many
both
used
railroads
and
then
also
empty
or
unused
rail
Railways?
There
are
in
our
state,
Tracy
Larkin
for
the
record
I'm
going
to
start
with
the
first
one
if
we're
talking
about
brightline,
specifically
I'm
sure
that
somewhere
along
the
line,
you'll
have
a
presentation
on
that.
We
are
the
entity
that
the
funding
needs
to
flow
through.
T
I
apologize.
What
was
the
other
question
of
the
future
possible
info
and
thank
you
for
that?
Clarification
of
the
future
possible
infrastructure
changes
that
are
being
discussed
at
the
national
level,
with
the
federal
rail
changes
that
are
happening.
I
think
right
now,
they're
still
working
their
way
through
all
the
different
areas
at
the
federal
level.
So
I
don't
know.
T
If
funding
is
there
yet
just
curious
as
to
whether
or
not
that
would
also
again
be
oversight
outside
of
our
state
agency
or
if
there
is
in
fact
Staffing
that
could
continue
to
do
that
oversight
as
I
understand
it
right
now,
most
of
it
we
do
like.
So
we
have
a
third
party.
So
there
is
funding,
that's
going
in
not
Highway
funding,
it's
not
endot
funding,
it
is
outside
funding.
That
is
so.
We
can
independently
see
it
over
there.
T
T
So
we
will
be
overseeing
that
ourselves,
because
that
is
something
that
ultimately
we
will
be
maintaining.
But
that's
traditional
infrastructure.
We
are
working
and
I
do
say.
We
have
a
great
project
manager
and
we've
been
working
extremely
closely
with
the
California
side,
also
to
ensure
that,
as
we
look
at
different
agreements
and
things
like
that,
that
were
steady
and
quite
frankly,
Caltrans
Cal
style
has
much
more
experience
with
the
rail.
T
Thank
you,
madam
thank
you,
madam
chair.
First
I
have
a
question
about
the
aerial
a75
underbridge
inspection
truck.
Is
that
a
maintenance
overhaul
or
is
that
a
new
truck,
and
do
you
use
drones
to
inspect
under
bridges
as
well
or
what
other
Technologies
do
you
use?
I
almost
want
to
say?
Yes,
yes
and
yes,
Tracy
Larkin
for
the
record,
it
is
a
new
truck
coming
in
the
existing
one
is
going
under
a
major
overhaul.
T
Yes,
Madam
chair
through
the
senator
Ashish
Paul
executive
director
for
the
record.
That's
correct,
Madam
Senator.
There
are
no
other
funds
that
have
been
received
by
the
bank
so
far.
The
bank
does
have
broad
latitude
and
statute
to
receive
private
funds,
public
funds
from
the
legislature
from
the
federal
government.
However,
at
this
time
the
bank
has
just
the
75
million
dollar
proceeds
from
the
bond
sale.
Okay
and
then
have
any
of
those
proceeds
been
lent
out
to
date.
Have
any
of
them
been
used?
T
They
have
not
okay,
so
we
it
sounds
like
we
borrowed
to
be
able
to
fund
the
bank,
and
then
we
haven't
really
loaned
any
money
out
yet
and
then
my
other
question
is:
we've
had
funds
over
the
years
from
the
federal
government
or
from
different
sources
that
have
been
used
as
Leverage
to
allow
someone
to
go
through
a
Traditional
Bank
Traditional
Bank,
but
it's
helped
for
leverage
purposes.
T
So
we
may
put
a
million
dollars
or
two
million
dollars
to
support
a
project
as
far
as
their
leverage
that
they
need
to
be
able
to
get
a
loan.
But
in
this
case
it
sounds
like
we're
doing
the
underwriting
and
the
loaning
and
everything
so
I
just
want
to
understand
that
choice,
better
versus
going
with
a
model
where
we
use
a
traditional
bank,
but
because
they
have
resources
in
its
highly
regulated
versus
doing
the
banking
ourselves.
T
So
you
know
the
bank
has
you
know
an
underwriting
process
that
has
been
laid
out
in
regulation
and
you
know
so.
The
bank
staff
have
to
conduct
a
credit
analysis
and
review
of
income
streams.
The
bank
also
has
pretty
broad
latitude
regarding
financing
agreements,
so
guarantees
are
an
instrument
that
can
be
used
in
order
to
leverage
These
funds
from
outside.
T
So
there
there
is
a
process
for
the
bank
to
allow
borrowers
to
use
funds
in
order
to
leverage
other
sources.
So
that
is
one
option,
but
borrowers
have
an
array
of
options
that
they
could
request
from
the
bank.
Thank
you
and
last
question:
when
do
you
expect
to
be
loading,
making
loans
or
or
going.
V
The
one
staffer
right
now
and
I'm
trying
to
stand
up
an
underwriting
origination
and
servicing
process,
and
so
we
are
establishing
our
policies
and
procedures
for
that
and
as
soon
as
possible,
the
board
can
meet
and
we
can
issue
funds.
Okay,.
AB
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
want
to
go
back
to
the
capital
Improvement
projects
that
you
had
listed
and
I
realized.
Finance
plays
an
important
role
in
making
the
decisions,
but
what
is
the
process
of
prioritizing
these
projects?
What's
the
timeline
look
like
and
how
does
your
vacancy
rate
affect
those
projects
and
timelines.
V
Thank
you
for
the
question
for
the
record
Darren
Tedford
deputy
director
for
project
delivery.
We
have
a
detailed
process
for.
V
Are
six
goals
in
our
One
Nevada
Transportation
plan?
We
put
all
of
the
projects
big
and
small
through
that
process,
and
then
we
come
up
with
the
prioritized
list
of
projects
we
use
that
funding
amount.
That
was
discussed
what
we
have
per
year
and
determine
how
many
projects
we
can
do,
and
it
also
takes
into
account
which
projects
are
ready.
Smaller
projects
might
be
ready
faster
than
larger
projects.
That's
taken
into
account.
V
We
develop
a
short
range
plan,
that's
typically
four
years,
and
then
we
have
a
long
range
plan
also
to
anticipate
some
of
the
projects
that
you
see
on.
The
slide,
for
example,
will
be
longer
range
projects
and
we're
anticipating
into
the
future,
how
long
and
when
those
will
be
ready
and
when
they
can
be
delivered.
V
Thank
you
very
much.
Senator
Neil.
V
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
It's
so
I
have
two
questions.
Yeah
I
know
I,
so
I
saw
in
your
one
of
your
slides,
doesn't
have
the
page,
but
it
had
your
actual
Personnel
you're
doing
two
additional
civil
rights
personnel
and
so
I'm
super
curious
as
to
the
the
need
and
the
work
that
is
currently
being
engaged
in.
AB
You've
now,
director,
Larkin
you've
been
a
part
of
the
agency
for
a
really
really
long
time,
but
in
terms
of
dbe,
you
guys
have
struggled
for
over
20
years
as
an
agency.
The
most
recent
disparity
study,
which
was
2013
and
I,
believe
I,
don't
know
if
there's
a
more
recent
one,
that's
you're
still
less
than
one
percent
or
around
one
percent.
AB
A
V
AB
Thank
you
again.
Tracy
Larkin
Thomason
for
the
record
you
referenced
2013
I
I
was,
as
you
mentioned,
I
was
very
heavily
involved
in
working
with
the
civil
rights
program.
During
my
former
positions
in
the
state,
particularly
in
southern
Nevada,
there
is,
there
was
a
considerable
amount
of
progress
made
about
from
2015
about
the
time
we
started
with
I
would
say,
as
we
got
into
Neon,
we
had
worked
towards
actually
getting
a
resource
center
established
in
Las
Vegas
now,
I
have
not
yet
gone
back
to
establish
where
things
are
yet
today.
V
On
that,
but
we
were
actually
providing
a
service
where
people
could
go
in
determine
what
was
the
best
way
for
them,
depending
on
what
kind
of
work
they
were
doing
with
the
Department,
if
they
were
a
dbe
how
to
go
through
the
process
of
being
a
dbe,
if
it
was
a
wbe
or
an
MBE.
Also,
we
were
providing.
AD
The
things
is
often
while
they're
very
good
at
their
trade
they're,
not
always
well
established
on
the
business
side.
So
we
were
also
looking
expanding
that
into
Northern
Nevada,
but
our
primary
focus
was
in
southern
Nevada,
I.
I
honestly,
don't
know
the
numbers
right
now.
I
can
be
happy
to
get
back
to
you
on
that.
AD
Sonny
Bray,
who
is
our
civil
rights
executive,
has
actually
done
extremely
well
in
working
with
a
lot
of
particularly
the
chambers
down
in
Vegas,
and
then
we
have
some
people
in
the
north
that
are
looking
out
throughout
the
state
to
actually
see
if
we
can
call
and
develop
and
actually
reach
out
and
see
where
we
can
help
them
move
forward.
So
I,
don't
I
can't
completely
answer
your.
AB
AB
I
know
that
the
one
of
the
prior
civil
rights
persons
who
was
there,
it
was
an
African-American
female
attorney
who
left
within
two
years,
had
proposed
what
Illinois
had
been
doing,
which
was
bundling
in
order
to
build
capacity
for
your
micro
business
or
your
smaller
businesses,
so
that
they
can
start
to
get
a
foot
in
the
economic
opportunities
that
are
there
and
benefit
from
the
taxpayer.
Revenue
that
all
persons
are
paying.
N
Been
adopted
again,
I
can't
explain
for
the
last
few
years.
I
do
remember
looking
at
in
the
past,
and
there
were
some
challenges
even
with
some
of
the
existing
Personnel.
We
do
work
very
hard,
particularly
on
bonding
and
things
like
that,
to
make
sure
that
when
people
are
bringing
into
the
job,
if
they
reach
their
bond
limit,
that
we
work
with
the
contractors
to
make
sure
that
once
their
bond
limit
has
expired,
they
can
basically
it
starts
over.
So
we
kind
of
partition.
T
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you
director
for
your
presentation.
I
have
a
question
relative
to
some
of
the
background
information
that
we
were
provided.
There
are
a
number
of
projects
under
Capital
expenditures
that
appear
to
be
already
underway
and
so
I'm
curious
to
know
they
were
funded
then
previously
and
and
I'll
just
call
out
probably
drop
a
Canna
right,
Interstate
15,
which
should
be.
N
T
And
underway
is
that
correct
for
the
record
Darren
Tedford
deputy
director?
Thank
you
for
the
question.
The
Tropicana
project
is.
M
During
this
coming
biennium
on
that
project,
the
Henderson
project
has
not
begun.
Yet
that's
going
to
be
a
overhaul
of
the
whole
Henderson
interchange
as
a
design,
build
project
we're
just
getting
the
consultant
on
board
to
help
us
with
the
with
that
project
and
then
phase
1B
of
the
North
Valleys
widening
is
actually
what's
going
to
advertise
later
this
year
and
that
project
the
phase
1A
was
replacing
the
par
structure
and
so
phase
one
B
will
be
from
McCarran
or
roughly
Clear
Acre
or
up
to
Golden
Valley.
M
Thank
you
follow
up
Madam
chair,
thank
you.
Just
and
just
one
more
piece
first
I
have
to
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
did
not
call
out
the
great
efforts
of
your
public
information
officer,
in
particular
relative
to
the
activities
around
Tropicana
right
now,
which
is
a
very
interesting
and
unique
project.
M
AB
Darren
Tedford
for
the
record.
Yes,
absolutely
that's
correct
when
we
have
a
project
that
touches
on
one
or
more
local
agencies
and
the
rtcs
we're
always
in
coordination
to
make
sure
we're
getting
the
best
project
possible.
AB
I
I
didn't
didn't,
hear
you
I'm.
Sorry,
madam
chair
apologies
anyway,
I'm
going
to
get
back
to
the
maintenance
side
of
it
and
it
looks
like
you're
doing
a
little
better
director
in
seasonal
position.
Vacancies
have
you
explored
going
back
to
critical
or
essential
positions
where
we
can
actually
bring
retirees
on
in
in
a
seasonal
capacity,
much
like
we're
doing
for
school
teachers.
AB
If
it's
I
believe
you
know,
especially
some
of
these
areas
where
there's
snow
removal
or
even
chip
sales
or
whatever
in
the
summer
we've
got
some
people
that
have
retired
and
are
drawing
benefits,
whether
it
be
from
local
government
or
the
state,
but
have
the
job
skills.
Can
you
do
that?
Can
you
use
that
slot
essential
or
critical?
Do
we
need
to
designate
that
and
it's,
whether
it's
your
department,
whether
it's
Corrections,
if
we've
got
people
that
have
the
capability
and.
M
Tracy
Larkin
for
the
the
record,
I'm
smiling
a
little
bit
because
I
just
had
to
go
through
that
paperwork
in
the
past
week.
Yes,
we
absolutely
can
there
is
a
process
in
place
to
put
forward,
as
it
does
require
some
approvals,
but
we
put
forward
what
the
need
is
and
why
and
where
yeah
it
clearly,
there
are
people
out
there
that
can
do
it.
Don't
want
to
work
for
the
mines.
Take
a
shorter
shift
for
the
state.
M
One
more
question:
if
I
may
Madam
chair
in
the
three
rest
stops
you're
doing
at
Trinity,
Larkin
and
Miller
or
by
huawian
Miller.
Are
you?
Are
you
going
to
do
those
through
the
winter
months
or
clearly
get
your
heavy
load
in
the
summertime
on
those?
When
are
you
going
to
try
and
do
the
retrofit?
Are
you
going
to
do
one
line,
one
side
at
a
time
or
one
stall
at
a
time?
M
M
M
As
you
know,
Trinity
has
some
issues
with
water
quality
and
so
on.
But
again,
as
I
mentioned
before
is
one
of
the
the
top
used
ones
in
the
state.
It
is
the
top
most
frequented
place
in
the
state.
All
right.
Yes,
I,
understand
that.
But
again
you
know
whether,
if
you're
going
to
be
wow
in
it's
closed,
it
becomes
problematic
for
some
people.
Thank
you.
AB
A
Today
and
what
you
do,
and
we
all
learned
a
few
things.
C
And
thank
you
as
you
remove
snow
for
all
of
us
from
down
south.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
all
right.
We
will
transition
to
the
Department
of
Corrections
and
we
have
director
zorinda
and
his
team
welcome
back
director
good
to
see
you
welcome
back
to
the
silver
state
and
go
ahead
when
you're
ready.
W
Welcome
how
are
you
we're
glad
to
see
you
all
right?
Please
go
ahead
when
you're
ready
first
I
couldn't
be
more
happier
to
be
here
in
front
of
you,
James
Renda

the
record
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair,
dondero,
Loop
and
members
of
the
legislative
commission's
budget
subcommittee.
W
AB
AB
For
those
who
who
know
me
have
seen
how
passionate
I
am
with
creating
the
right
culture
and
understanding
the
powerful
impacts
the
Department
of
Corrections
will
make
on
every
individual
and
its
care.

all
see
my
passion
to
lead
change,
to
create
a
safer
Community

our
families
and
