Good
morning,
Amanda
or
good
afternoon,
Madam,
chair
and
members
of
IFC,
just
a
quick
on
the
record
Leah
case
here
on
behalf
of
Boys
Town
in
Nevada,
just
in
support
of
item
G13,
the
funding
for
Nevada
Department
of
Education
for
school
and
student
safety
I
just
wanted
to
get
that
on
the
record
that
this
is
a
great
opportunity
and
boys
town
is
one
of
the
organizations
that
can
provide
those
wraparound
and
Supportive
Services.
Once
this
funding
is
passed.
Thank
you.
F
Thank
you,
chair
Don
darlupa
members
of
the
committee.
For
the
record.
My
name
is
Brett
salmon
with
the
Nevada
Health
Care
Association,
and
the
Nevada
Center
for
assisted
living
I'm
here
to
testify
in
support
of
item
F3,
the
nursing
facility
Workforce
and
assistive
facility,
Workforce
initiative
that
will
be
before
you
today.
This
funding
was
approved
in
October
at
your
meeting
then
and
was
put
into
a
reserve
account
to
develop
a
distribution
formula
which
we're
coming
back
today
with
partnering
with
the
Department
of
Health
and
Human
Services.
F
To
provide
that
formula
to
you
today
as
you're
all
aware,
long-term
care
communities
are
part
of
a
larger,
interconnected,
Healthcare
Continuum,
and
when
portions
of
that
Continuum
struggle,
the
whole
Continuum
fills
the
impact.
According
to
the
Bureau
of
Labor
and
statistics
from
February
20th
2020
to
December
2022,
the
long-term
care
Workforce
has
been
the
slowest
Healthcare
sector
to
recover
from
the
pandemic,
so
both
assisted
living
and
nursing
facilities
are
still
below
pre-pandemic
levels
of
caregivers.
If
this
committee
approves
the
formula
today,
the
funding
will
help
ease
pressure
on
the
health
care.
F
Continuum
hospitals
must
have
places
to
discharge
their
patients.
If
nursing
facilities
do
not
have
enough
caregivers,
they
have
to
limit
their
admissions
from
hospitals
and
have
assisted
living
facilities.
Do
not
have
enough
caregivers,
they
must
limit
their
emissions
from
hospitals
and
nursing
facilities.
This
then
impacts
all
of
us
when
we're
looking
to
receive
treatment
in
our
hospital
that
can't
be
done
timely
because
of
hospitals
at
capacity
with
people
that
need
to
be
discharged
to
a
lower
level
of
care.
F
This
funding
will
allow
assisted
living
in
nursing
facilities
to
address
their
Workforce
needs
with
job
fairs,
Network
events,
job
advertising,
staff,
trainings,
immigrant
Visa,
sponsorships,
wage
increases
bonuses,
education,
scholarships,
career
ladder,
development
and
referral
center
referral
incentives
for
current
staff
to
help
with
recruitment.
Thank
you
for
your
time.

Hello,
my
name

Leanne

I
am

executive,

chapter
of
the
American
Academy
of
Pediatrics.
Thank
you
for
considering
agenda
items
F1
and
F2
today,
and
for
all
your
work
that
enables
our
state
to
fund
critical
investments
in
Nevada's,
Children
and
Families.
Lead
causes
serious
damage
to
Children's
brains,
even
at
relatively
low
levels
of
exposure,
and
the
effects
are
difficult
to
overcome.
H
Pediatricians
know
that
there
is
no
safe,
lead
level.
The
American
Academy
of
Pediatrics
supports
widespread
LED
screening
of
children,
as
well
as
funding
programs
to
remove
lead
hazards
from
the
home
learning
and
play
environments.
Primary
prevention
is
the
only
way
to
combat
lead
poisoning.
The
Nevada
AAP
currently
has
264
members,
most
of
whom
are
board
certified
pediatricians.
Both
primary
and
Specialty
Care
members
also
include
pediatric
nurse
practitioners,
physician
assistants,
pediatric

Good
afternoon
Chris
Daly
Nevada
State
Education
Association,
the
voice
of
Nevada
Educators
for
over
120
years,
commenting
on
class
size
reduction
variances.
The
number
of
students
in
a
class
makes
a
real
difference
for
students
and
Educators
alike
for
students.
Smaller
class
size
helps
close
the
racial
achievement.
Gap
leads
to
earlier
identification
of
learning
disabilities,
improves
High
School
graduation
rates
and
allows
for
more
engagement
and
lessons
for
educators.
Smaller
class
size
improves
educator.
Morale
requires
less
time
on
paperwork
and
allows
for
more
differentiated
instruction
as
teachers
become
more
aware
of
individual
strengths
and
weaknesses.
I
It
also
means
safer
schools.
Quarterly
varians
is
granted
by
the
State
Board
of
Education
have
become
the
norm,
but
with
the
implementation
of
the
new
funding
plan,
this
process
merits
increased
scrutiny
as
funds
previously
reserved
for
class
size
reduction,
have
been
rolled
into
base
funding.
The
September
report
from
the
Department
of
Education
to
your
committee,
States
the
following
of
the
383
reporting
elementary
schools
349
requested
one
or
more
variances,
approximately
91
percent
districts,
May
report,
one
or
more
reasons
for
their
variance
request.
I
A
year
ago,
with
Nevada
was
running
record
high
educator
vacancies
and
SCA
launched
time
for
20
calling
for
average
class
sizes
of
20
students,
a
20
educator
raise
and
living
wage
of
20
an
hour
and
SCA
has
been
calling
on
Nevada
elected
leaders
to
fund
time
for
20.
and
time
and
time
again
we
have
pointed
to
significant
resources
available.
I
Last
year's
operations
of
our
schools
were
imploding
with
classes
tripled
up
in
auditoriums,
the
ending
fund
balance
was
1.8
billion
dollars
and
a
surplus
of
550
million
dollars
had
accrued
to
the
education
fund
by
comparison
at
20
across
the
board,
educator
raised
cost
Nevada
about
650
million
dollars
a
year.
While
some
are
now
talking
about
the
increases
proposed
in
the
K-12
budget
for
next
biennium.
The
truth
is
Nevada
has
had
the
money
to
address
this
crisis
head-on
for
the
better
part
of
the
past
year.
Yet
little
has
been
done.

members
I,
will
go
over
the
items
on
lists
e,
f
and
g
that
I've
been
identified
to
be
polled
for
additional
discussion
as
well
as
the
informational
item
list
n
under
agenda
item
n
I
will
begin
with
list
e
this.
There
are
four
four
work
programs
on
list
e.
These
are
work
programs
that
were
submitted
pursuant
to
nrs353.220
sub
5B
that
require
expeditious
action
within
15
days
by
the

M
M
M
Moving
on
to
list
G,
which
is
the
standard
work
program,
revision
request
list,
the
first
two
work
programs
on
that
list
that
will
be
pulled
for
discussion
are
26.
M
On
list
G,
that
was
26
and
27
heard
together:
30
80,
I'm,
sorry,
30,
81
and
84,
and
then
moving
on
to
the
informational
item,
which
is
list
n,
and
there
are
no
items
on
list
n
that
have
been
identified
to
be
pulled
for
discussion.
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
may
we
please
have
pulled
a
g15.
B
Okay
see
none.
I
would
like
for
a
motion
to
approve
the
items
on
list
f
and
g
that
have
not
been
pulled
for
discussion.
B
A
B
Thank
you
very
much.
Second,
second,
second
from
Senator,
canizarro
and
I
will
ask
if
there
is
any
additional
discussion.
B
M
B
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
for
both
being
here
in
Northern
Nevada
and
in
southern
Nevada.
I
have
actually
a
couple
questions
just
looking
at
the
statements
that
you
provided
in
our
more
detailed
information,
I'm
just
wondering
about
the
amount
of
money
that
has
already
been
spent
and
I
just
needed
some
clarification
on
those.
According
to
your
your
statement
on
the
need
for
this
additional
money,
it
says
that
the
64
million
or
yeah
60,
oh
I'm,
sorry,
84
million,
represents
the
difference
in
anticipated
spending
versus
currently
budgeted
can.
B
O
So
basically,
this
is
a
realignment
of
authority
and
there
was
a
difference
because
this
particular
area
is
USDA
entitlement
funding
for
School
meals.
It's
the
regular
funding
that
we
get
annually
for
School
meals
and
we
were
the
original
base.
Budget
amount
was
affected
by
the
covid-19
pandemic,
and
so
it
was
under
allocated
this
particular
biennium.
P
For
the
record
Mark,
which
administrative
Services
officer
with
Nevada
Department
of
Agriculture
I'll
provide
just
a
quick
numbers
as
far
as
how
much
is
expended
so
for
school
breakfast,
we
have
authority
of
34.3
million
approximately
year.
To
date
we
expanded
19
million
828
000.
for
the
school
lunches.
We
have
approved
authority
of
89
million
six
hundred
thirty
six
thousand
approximately,
and
we
expended
61
million
165
000.
Approximately
those
claims
do
arrive
twice
a
month
and
they
are
submitted
by
our
recipients
on
a
first
and
the
16th
of
the
month.
P
We
are
expecting
new
claims
to
come
through
tomorrow.
On
average,
they
go
anywhere
between
four
or
five
million
to
10
million
per
month,
so
we're
expecting
to
run
out
of
authority
pretty
soon
in
these
federal
funds.
L
P
Direct
with
Marco
Market
GS,
that
is
correct.
This
is
a
federal
funds
100.
So
this
is
just
additional
award
received
from
the
federal
government,
so.
L
It
seems
to
me,
based
on
the
number
of
students
that
we
have
in
the
state
of
Nevada
we're
spending
a
lot
of
money
for
breakfast
and
lunch
and
I'm
not
opposed
to
that
I.
Think
food
security
is
very
critical,
especially
for
children.
My
having
multiple
grandkids
in
school
throughout
this
state,
Washoe
County,
Humboldt,
County,
Clark,
County,
Lyon
County,
none
of
those
grandchildren
like
their
school
lunches,
and
they
will
testify
to
me
as
grandma
that
they
see
most
of
it
going
to
waste
and
it
didn't
matter
whether
in
high
school,
elementary
school
or
kindergarten.
L
So
are
we
by
by
this
money
that
the
federal
government
has
allocated
to
us?
Are
we
obligated
to
follow
their?
Do
we
get
the
food
from
them?
Do
what
is
happening
and
growing
up?
In
my
little
small
town
of
Smith,
Valley
I
loved
our
school
Cooks
I
mean
their
meals
were
amazing
and
to
find
now
that
these
children
are
not
eating
these
lunches.
I'm
just
curious
where's.
The
disconnect
here.
O
Madam
chair
for
the
record,
Patricia
hoppy,
with
the
Nevada
Department
of
Agriculture
through
you
and
to
some
Senator.
So
there
is
a
required
meal
pattern,
a
creditable
meal
pattern
that
if
you
are
operating
the
national
school
lunch
program
or
the
school
breakfast
program
that
all
of
our
school
food
authorities
have
to
follow,
there's
a
lot
of
different
components
to
it.
There
are
required
components
that
have
to
be
served
with
every
meal,
so
we
review
menus
for
application
and
adherence
to
that
particular
meal
pattern.
O
We
don't
really
have
any
control
over
the
food
items
that
the
school
foot
authorities
choose
to
serve.
We
have
to
ensure
they're
meeting
the
federal
requirements
at
that
program
meal
pattern
we
do
understand.
Sometimes
there
is
waste
you
know.
Sometimes
we
do
have
administrative
reviews,
compliance
reviews
that
we
do
every
year
on
our
sponsors,
where
our
program
staff
go
to
the
schools
and
school
districts
and
they
actually
do
stand
at
the
point
of
service
line
and
watch
the
children
getting
their
food
items
and
eating
their
meal.
O
And
yes,
sometimes
they
throw
the
carrots
in
the
trash
or
they
throw
the
salad
in
the
trash.
We
are
working
on
trying
to
add
additional
technical
assistance
and
guidance
to
our
school
food
authorities.
In
order
that
you
know
we
can
kind
of
start
working
on
that
that
waste
issue
that
we
do
know
we
have
in
some
schools
we're
also
having
conversations
with
our
program,
sponsors
and
operators
talking
about
quality
of
food
being
a
little
bit
more
Innovative.
L
I
think
Madam
chair
for
the
question
I
just
want
to
would
appreciate
when
you,
when
you
have
that
documentation
of
the
way
so
I'd
really
like
to
see
how
much
you
think
is
actually
wasted
of
that
food
and,
if
there's
any
kind
of
a
plan
and
what
that
might
be
in
the
future
to
to
help
with
that
kind
of
a
waste
and
again
I
think
it's
important
that
children
come
in
and
they're
fed
I
think
all
of
us
need
to
be
fed
and
we
were
and
I
think
that
that's
that's
really
critical,
but
I'm
just
worried
about
it's.
L
Not
it's
not
that
they're,
throwing
away
the
McNuggets
too
and
I
heard
when
I
was
in
Winnemucca
this
weekend
that
the
pizza
is
horrible,
even
my
granddaughter
who
doesn't
eat
much
won't
eat
that
pizza
and
so
I'm.
Just
wondering
where
that
disconnect
is
so
I'd
love
to
see
their
overall
view
of
what
you
have
online
to
to
address.
Some
of
that.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
the
question
and
and
if,
unless
there's
other
questions,
I'll
move
to
approve
them.
B
Okay
I
believe
assembly,
woman,
kasama
I,
had
a
question.
J
Yes,
thank
you,
chair
on
that
same
item
number
15.,
this
allocation
for
the
a
school
lunch
and
breakfast
I
know
in
the
previous
administration.
They
had
lunches
and
breakfast
for
free
for
all
families
not
based
on
need.
Is
this
a
continuation
of
that
is
this,
including
all
families
in
the
state
of
Nevada.
O
For
the
record
Patricia
Hoppe,
so
this
particular
request
for
Authority
is
only
for
the
portion
of
meal
reimbursements
for
the
national
school
lunch
program
and
the
school
breakfast
program.
That
is
our
regular
USDA
funding.
We
are.
We
have
started
this
school
year
with
the
state
arpa
funded,
Universal,
free,
School
meals,
so
those
are
going
on
they
started
with
when
school
started
in
August.
This
is
the
first
school
year.
This
particular
request
for
Authority
is
only
for
the
regular
annual
entitlement
funding
that
we
get
for
those
two
programs
from
USDA.
B
Thank
you
very
much
and
I
can
just
say
my
grandkids.
There
are
some
things
they
like
and
some
things
they
don't
like,
but
as
a
teacher
as
an
educator,
we
saw
kids
trading
off
all
the
time
and
you
know
if
they
want
to
eat
all
the
carrots
and
not
the
hamburger
or
they
want
to
eat
the
hamburger
and
not
the
carrots.
I
guess
you
know
it
depends
on
where
they
get
where
their
food
source
is
for
them.
B
N
O
The
right
for
the
record
Patricia
Hoppe
it
it
does
not
it's
for
meals
that
are
served
under
the
national
school
lunch
program
and
the
school
breakfast
program.
There's
three
tiers
of
meals,
there's
free,
there's
reduced
and
there's
paid
so
they're,
all
meals
that
would
be
purchased
and
or
provided
by
the
school
district.
The
cafeteria
of
the
school.
Thank.
Q
R
O
O
Not
I
will
tell
you
that
every
single
student
in
our
schools,
which
I
believe
approximately
that's
460
452
students
at
this
point,
have
an
opportunity
to
have
a
free
meal
thanks
to
the
operation
of
the
two
Federal
programs
and
the
expansion
of
that
through
our
state
arpa
funding
that
all
of
you
approved
last
year.
So
they
do
have
the
opportunity
to
have
a
meal
and
I
hope
they're,
taking
advantage
of
it.
My.
R
O
Yes,
there
could
be
absent
this
particular
program
before
we
had
Universal
free
School
meals.
There
is
a
free
and
reduced
option
and
there
is
a
paid
option
that
is
provided
reimbursement
through
USDA,
regular
funding,
as
all
of
you
know,
when
the
pandemic
hit
I,
believe
families
that
didn't
have
to
worry
about
being
able
to
afford
their
children's
meals
in
schools
now
had
to
do
that.
So
I
believe
that
absent
this
particular
program
there
absolutely
could
be
children
that
could
be
going
hungry
at
school.
R
And
is
it
fair
to
say
that
this
is
then
making
a
difference
in
the
lives
of
those
children
when
it
comes
to
their
ability
to
learn
their
nutritional
needs
and
just
general
well-being.
O
Absolutely
wholeheartedly
believing
in
what
we
do
and
with
the
additional
Universal
free
School
meals
are
pathfinding.
In
addition
to
the
type
of
funding
we're
asking
for
Authority.
For
today,
over
260
000
children
across
the
state
of
Nevada
are
able
to
eat
free
because
we're
picking
up
the
bill
for
those
reduced
and
paid
children's
meals.
B
Thank
you
and
and
I
would
also
add
just
a
little
bit
of
information
here
that
during
the
pandemic,
when
the
kids
were
in
school,
but
we
were
still
kind
of
coming
out
of
that
many
schools.
If
parents
forgot
to
bring
kids
forgot,
their
lunch
parents
forgot
to
put
it
in
the
car.
Whatever
happened
in
the
craziness
of
getting
kids
to
school
in
the
morning,
the
parents
were
not
always
allowed
to
come
back
into
the
school
because
they
did
not
want
additional.
B
You
know
exposure
into
the
school,
so
kids
were
given
a
lunch
that
day.
So
it's
not
always
just
I
mean
it's
things
that
happen
in
a
daily
life
of
a
family,
so
I
know
it
happened
once
in
mine,
where
first
grader
left
her
lunch
on
the
car
seat
and
the
mother
didn't
see
it
so
when
she
got
to
school
rather
than
the
mother
going
into
the
school
and
disrupting
the
class
or
what
have
you
the
the
school
fed
her?
So
thank
you
very
much
any
additional
questions.
B
All
right
with
that
I
will
take
a
motion.
Senator
Titus.
Are
you
still
thank
you
very
much.
A
second
second
from
assemblywoman
Monroe
Moreno,
any
discussion,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
all
those
opposed.
Thank
you
very
much
motion
passes
and
thank
you
very
much
for
your
time
and
thank
you
in
Las
Vegas
for
years.
S
One
to
ensure
local
programs
have
the
capacity
to
implement

over
the
course
of
the
next
three
years.
S
In
conclusion,
I
also
want
to
note
that
to
ensure
that
we
are
working
effectively
with
tribal
communities,
as
you
know,
the
legislation
did
address
tribal
communities.
We
have
determined
a
need
to
directly
fund
the
Nevada
Indian
commission,
since
director
montooth
has
developed
a
great
working
relationships
with
Nevada
tribes
and
has
the
pulse
on
who
to
work
with
in
respect
to
that
I'm
happy
to
answer
questions.
Thank
you.
T
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
So
this
is
G27
right,
so
I
I
had
a
question
on
the
in
the
grant
backup
it
talks
about
the
toxicology
data
and
the
patient
care
and
you're
going
to
be
purchasing
handheld
spectrometers
for
drug
testing,
who
exactly
is
going
to
be
administering.
That
I
mean
because
it
also
states
that
there
in
this
grant
it
will
expand
the
treatment
options
for
adolescents
and
individuals
with
Co
co-occurring
disorders.
U
Stephanie
Woodard
for
the
record
chair
through
you
to
Senator
Neil
I
can
go
through
each
of
the
items
that
you
requested
information
on
to
tell
you
how
we
plan
to
distribute
those,
so
we
are
looking
to
go
through
a
procurement
process,
called
a
request
for
qualifications
that
the
division
of
purchasing
had
administered
specifically
for
the
allocation
of
funding
for
treatment.
We
have
a
number
of
providers
that
have
qualified
into
that
pool
to
be
able
to
provide
substance,
use
disorder,
treatment
in
accordance
with
these
funds
and
we'll
be
working
with
those
providers.
U
We
also
have
established
a
relationship
with
the
Department
of
Public
Safety
for
the
handheld
spectrometers.
It
was
identified
early
on
with
one
of
our
state
subject
matter.
Experts
as
it
relates
to
litigation
at
the
need
to
ensure
that
not
only
do
Public
Safety,
but
other
entities
in
local
communities
need
access
to
the
handheld
spectrometers.
What
this
is
is
this
is
a
technology
tool
that
allows
individuals
who
are
trained
to
use
it
to
quickly
and
accurately
identify
the
compounds
that
make
up
the
substances
that
they
are
evaluating.
U
Many
of
you
are
aware
that
we
have
seen
an
increase
of
Fentanyl
and
other
very
high
potency
illicit
drugs
in
our
drug
Supply
that
have
caused
a
very
large
Public
Health
concern.
So
those
handheld
spectrometers
are
really
essential
tools
for
our
communities
to
have
available
to
them,
so
that
we
can
tell
what
is
actually
infiltrating
our
drug
Supply
system
at
the
local
level,
foreign.
T
So
I
I
guess
what
I'm
I?
What
Madam
chair
follow-up
I'm,
not
clear
on
who
these
qualified
providers
are?
Are
we
talking
about
pharmacists?
Who,
who
is
doing
who
is
doing
the
work?
Because
it's
what
it
sounds
like?
Is
that
you're
going
to
take
a
compound
and
try
to
see
what's
in
it
and
who
are
those
providers.
U
Stephanie
Woodard
for
the
record.
Through
you
chair
to
Senator
Neil,
we
are
working
with
the
Department
of
Public
Safety
to
do
the
engagement
at
the
local
level
to
see
who
would
be
best
poised
to
house
those
spectrometers
prior
to
them
being
purchased
so
that
we
have
a
well-developed
plan
that
will
meet
the
needs.
The
unique
needs
of
each
of
the
communities
that
they're
planned
to
be
distributed
to.
B
Thank
you
very
much.
Senator
Titus.
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
Senator
Neil
for
that
question,
because
I
too
was
wondering
what
that
process
was
going
to
look
like
and
who
you
were
going
to
identify
to
be
using
them.
It's
been
an
issue,
certainly,
even
for
somebody
like
me,
that's
certified
mro
to
do
drug
screens,
drug
testing
Etc
on
what
just
because
it's
positive
for
coding
doesn't
mean
what
right
and
so
hopefully
that'll
break
down,
but
I.
I
too
was
wondering
who
you
had
how
broad
of
a
brush
were
you
looking
at
to
serve
in
a
community?
L
Were
you
looking
at
law
enforcement
where
you're
looking
at
somebody,
a
patient
that
comes
in
and
they're
on
a
rehab
program
and
we're
monitoring
whether
they're
taking
their
medication
or
not,
because
we
know
urine
drug
screens
are
not
as
we
would
like
them
to
be
so
I
was
just
curious
about
some
more
detail
on
what
actually
you
envisioned
for
the
use
of
them.
I
think
they're
going
to
be
incredibly
important,
but
I'm
not
sure
who's
going
to
actually
have
that
information
and
use
it.
U
So
Stephanie
Woodard
for
the
record,
if
I
may
respond
chair
to
Dr,
Titus
I
I,
think
it's
important
to
recognize
that
these
are
not
the
only
tools
that
communities
have
available
to
them.
We
have
a
number
of
communities
that
have
already
gone
forward
to
purchase
these
Mass
spectrometers,
recognizing
the
utility
that
they
have,
and
so
part
of
the
work
with
DPS
is
to
evaluate
where
these
are
most
needed,
and
certainly
Public,
Safety
and
First.
B
Any
additional
questions
on
this
all
right,
seeing
none
I'll,
take
a
motion,
move
to
a
proof
move
to
approved
by
assemblywoman
Monroe
Moreno.
Second,
by
Senator
cannizarro
any
discussion,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
all
those
opposed.
V
This
alignment
will
help
to
support
the
already
contracted
program
or
I'm
sorry
vendor.
In
the
build
out
of
this
system.
The
system
is
really
to
my
apologies.
I
have
lost
my
place
to
support
a
new
electronic
case
management
and
billing
system.
As
many
of
you
have
heard
over
the
years,
we
have
a
very
inefficient
process.
Currently
we
have
three
systems,
so
we're
working
out
of
multiple
systems
that
do
not
speak
to
each
other
and
which
ends
up
being
a
lot
of
either
double
to
triplicate.
V
Input
for
our
our
staff
and
our
teams
across
the
state
and
this
particular
product
will
allow
us
to
have
reporting
billing
all
mechanisms
within
one
system
for
both
the
state
providers,
as
well
as
the
community
providers,
and
so
this
will
be
an
efficiency
that
we
have
not
seen
before.
If
you
recall
a
few
years
ago,
we
did
actually
have
we
had
procured
a
potential
system.
V
Unfortunately,
that
system
didn't
work
out
and
so
we're
in
the
midst
of
this,
and
it
is
our
hope
that
it
will
create
a
substantial
efficiencies
and
again
with
potential
increase
on
Revenue,
as
well
as
supporting
our
individual
staff
to
be
able
to
provide
a
more
efficient
manner
on
the
administrative
side,
so
they
can
ensure
that
they
are
working
directly
with
the
children
and
families
and
have
that
quality
program.
W
You,
madam
chair
I
I,
do
have
just
a
couple
of
real
quick
questions.
Could
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
numbers
of
families
that
would
be
proposed
to
be
served
under
this
new
system
with
the
three
Data
Systems
coming
together
and
then
briefly,
if
you
would
talk
about
how
do
you
plan
to
cover
the
ongoing
annual
cost
of
this
new
early
intervention
system.
V
Through
you,
madam
chair
to
the
assembly
woman,
thank
you
for
your
question.
Ricky
Robb
for
the
record,
so
number
of
families.
Currently
that
are
in
three
of
the
systems.
We
have
multiple
systems
on
the
community
provider
side.
V
So
on
the
state
side,
within
our
current
three
systems,
there's
about
1500
children
when
we
combine
with
the
providers
it'll
take
us
to
where
our
current
case
load
is,
which
I
believe
it's
in
about
3
600,
so
3
600
children,
which
ultimately
impacts
those
those
families
who
have
an
ifsp,
which
is
an
individual
family
service
plan
and
then
on
the
ongoing
part.
C
has
the
idea
part
C
Grant
is
covering
the
ongoing
costs.
We
will
have
arpa
fundings
for
the
next
two
years
of
our
annual
maintenance
costs.
B
Thank
you
very
much
now
any
additional
questions
all
right
see
none
I'll,
take
a
motion
move
to
approve.
Thank
you
very
much.
Assemblywoman
Monroe
Moreno.
Second,
by
Senator
kantaro,
any
discussion,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye.
All
those
opposed
motion
passes.
Thank
you
very
much.

Vegas.
X
Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
Vice,
chair
committee,
members
for
the
record
Kelly
Cantrell
Deputy
Administrator,
with
the
Division
of
Welfare
and
Supportive
Services
I,
have
with
me
administrator
Robert,
Thompson
and
chief
of
Eligibility
and
payments
Tanya
Stevens
up
in
Carson
City.
This
work
program
is
to
request
an
addition
of
approximately
3
million
from
the
federal
snap
PEB
tree
epebt
administrative
cost
grant
for
the
continuation
of
pebt
issuance
to
Nevada's
eligible
children,
and
we
are
here
to
answer
any
questions
you
have.
Thank
you.
N
X
N
Thank
you
and
thank
you.
Could
I
just
ask
one
more
question:
Madam
chair
sure
follow-up.
Thank
you
so
I'm.
What
I'm
trying
to
understand
is
I
had
a
number
of
people
who
got
in
touch
with
me
and,
and
they
had
received
500
per
child
on
a
card
because
their
children
apparently
carried
brought
their
own
lunches.
Is
that
this
program.
X
Kelly
Cantrell
for
the
record
through
you,
madam
chair,
to
assemblywoman
Dickman.
This
does
not
have
it.
This
program
does
not
have
anything
to
do
with
the
free
lunches.
In
that
sense,
we
do
only
the
children
eligible
for
the
free
or
reduced
school
lunch
program
are
eligible
for
the
pebt,
so
it
relates.
It
correlates
in
that
way.
Okay,.
J
You
chair,
I,
I,
noticed
in
the
description
there.
It
talked
about
they're
they're,
trying
to
find
the
cards
that
haven't
been
used
and
they're
looking
for
addresses
and
they're
recipients.
What
happens
if
you
don't
find
it?
Do
those
funds
have
to
go
back
to
the
federal
government
or
what
happens
to
the
unused
portion
of
the
cards.
X
Thank
you
for
the
question
Madam
chair
through
you
to
assembling
woman,
kasama
I,
don't
have
the
exact
answer
on
what
happens
to
the
funds
that
we
can't
locate,
but
I
will
tell
you
that
we,
we
took
five
caseworkers
off
the
line
and
we
dedicated
them
solely
to
finding
these
parents
to
researching
addresses
to
reaching
out
to
locating
we
have
done.
We
have
literally
sent
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
that
we've
been
able
to
locate
and
get
into
the
hands
of
the
parents.
I
wish
I
had
those
exact
numbers
with
me.
X
I
do
not,
but
it's
a
great
feat
that
our
team
has
been
able
to
accomplish,
but
the
actual
answer
to
what
happens
to
the
little
bit
that's
left
over
I
don't
have,
but
I
certainly
can
get
that
information
for
you.
B
Q
Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
committee,
I
am
Casey
Casey,
the
state
Forester
fire
warden
for
the
Nevada
division
of
Forestry.
It's
nice
to
see
you
all
in
person
again.
I
am
here
on
81
and
84..
So
81
is
a
work
program
request
to
transfer
money
from
our
Personnel
vacancy
savings
to
facilitate
a
move
of
the
division
over
to
the
Bryant
building
to
be
with
the
Department
I'd,
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
believe
my
understanding
is
that
the
move
is
going
to
come
with
an
increased
rent
cost.
Could
you
explain
what
planetary
agency
has
to
help
cover
that
increased
cost
in
future
years.
Q
Thank
you
for
the
question
Madam
chair
through
you
to
assemblyman
Watts.
We
plan
to
put
that
into
the
budget,
and
we
put
both
this
move
into
our
budget
request
and
into
this
emergency
request.
As
I
had
stated
in
some
of
the
questions
earlier,
that
you
guys
probably
see
the
answers
we
submit
to
this
request
for
to
expedite
the
move,
came
because
department
or
division
of
Emergency
Management
needed
our
space
that
we
in
are
living
in
that
needed
that
required
PEB
to
move
out
of
the
dcnr
building.
Q
That
piece
has
is
happening
it's
in
the
process,
so
our
budget
did.
We
are
increasing
requesting
an
increase
in
the
budget
to
cover
the
cops
payment.
That's
the
payback
of
the
facility
that
was
built,
the
Brian
building.
We
actually
will
overall
decrease
our
rent
once
that
cops
payment
is
paid
off
in
full
and
I.
Don't
exactly
remember
the
date
of
the
payoff,
but
I
think
that
was
in
one
of
our
answers.
M
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I
may
I
think
my
question
is
more
for
staff
and
just
what
the
basis
and
if
we
have
is
if
this
is
Regular
accounting
business,
where
we
take
Personnel
unused
Personnel
category
monies
for
basically
a
capital,
Improvement
or
Capital
funds,
because
some
funds
have
to
revert
back
to
the
general
fund
depending
on
what
category
they
are
and
I'm
just
wondering
what
this
process
is,
and
if
this
is
something
that
we've
done
in
the
past.
M
Wayne
Thorley
for
the
record,
LCB
fiscal
analysis,
division,
so
Senator
Titus.
To
answer
your
question:
if,
if
a
state
agency
has
unused
Authority
in
category
01,
which
is
the
personal
services
category,
and
that
category
is
funded
through,
let's
say
general
fund
Appropriations
without
any
action
by
the
internet,
finance
committee
or
approval
of
a
work
program,
that
funding
would
revert
to
the
general
fund
and
unrestricted
general
fund
and
be
available
for
future
use
because
of
the
large
number
of
vacancies
throughout
the
state
and
across
all
the
state
agencies.
M
Right
now
there
have
been
several
requests
that
have
come
forward
through
the
IFC
over
this
interim
to
move
with
money
from
cattle
one
for
other
purposes.
It
is
a
a
budget
policy
decision
of
the
legislature
and
the
committee
to
make
there's
no
restriction
in
law
that
that
prohibits
the
agencies
from
doing
that
if
they
have
approval
from
the
IFC
of
the
legislature,.
B
All
right
any
questions,
other
item,
all
right,
seeing
none
I'll
take
them
move
to
approve.
Thank
you,
assemblyman
Monroe,
Moreno.
Second,
by
Senator
kanazaro,
any
discussion,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye.
All
those
opposed
motion
passes.
Thank
you
very
much
for
here
being
here
today
and
now
we'll
go
on
to
G
84.
Q
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee.
It's
me
again:
Casey
Casey,
State,
Forester,
fire
warden
for
the
division
of
Forestry
84
is
a
request
to
transfer
Authority
from
multiple
categories
into
a
current
fire
year
budget
category
to
pay
bills.
It's
a
movement
of
authority
so
that
we
can
expend
cash
in
the
account
just
to
let
you
know
this
is
a
just
over
1.4
million
dollar
shift.
We
have
about
three
and
a
half
million
dollars
of
adjudicated
bills
on
our
desk
to
pay.
Q
So
this
will
not
pay
all
of
the
bills
that
we
owe
for
fires
that
are
passed,
but
this
will
get
us
closer.
We
will
have
a
supplemental
request
coming
forth
during
the
budget
process
to
make
ourselves
whole
both
for
those
bills
that
are
still
adjudicated
and
unpaid
and
for
future
expenses.
As
we
go
forth
in
the
fiscal
year
with
that
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Y
Sorry
I'm
a
little
bit
slow
to
the
draw
sometimes
on
questions.
My
question
is
related
to
your
budget.
You
went
into
a
little
bit
there,
but
I
am
curious
about
just
update
us
on
the
process
for
reimbursement
of
those
revenues
during
this
the
remainder
of
this
year
and
then
what
you're
expecting
to
bring
in
for
your
budget
this
next
but
session
cycle.
Can
you
just
give
us
a
little
bit
more
information
and
break
it
break
out
what
you're
expecting.
Q
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Through
you
to
assemblywoman
Peters,
it's
a
complicated
budget
account
of
reimbursements
and
expenditures.
Obviously,
as
the
state
is
required
to
pay
our
bills
up
front
in
order
to
get
reimbursed
we're
not
always
guaranteed
to
get
reimbursed
timely,
although
we
are
getting
reimbursed
much
more
timely
than
we
have
historically
by
our
federal
state
and
local
government,
Partners
I,
don't
have
the
exact
numbers
in
front
of
me
of
what
we
plan
to
bring
in,
but
I
can
get
them
for
you.
Q
We
do
send
that
every
time
we
ask
for
these
requests
as
far
as
reimbursements.
Our
issue
is,
we
don't
know
when
the
reimbursements
are
coming
so
right
now
we
need
to
pay
all
these
bills
up
front.
If
we
have,
the
FEMA
program
offers
us
assistance
in
paying
for
some
wildfires
that
are
declared
through
the
fire
management
assistance
grants.
Q
We
have
to
pay
all
that
up
front
in
order
to
get
reimbursed
the
80
percent,
and
if
it's
our
fire,
we
have
to
pay
up
front
to
get
reimbursed
through
a
cost
share
agreement
later
with
our
federal
Partners.
So
that's
usually
what
we're
trying
to
to
do
in
all
of
these
is
we're.
Looking
at
exact
bills
on
hand,
everything
that
we've
adjudicated
and
we
agree
is
needing
payment
for
Fires
for
fire
contractors
or
firefighters.
Q
Then
we're
looking
at
how
much
do
we
think
we're
going
to
be
able
to
draw
and
we
work
with
our
federal
Partners.
They
tell
us
exactly
what
they
think
they're
going
to
be
able
to
pay
and
when
they're
going
to
be
able
to
pay
it
and
when
we
send
it
to
you
guys
a
couple
months
in
advance
of
this
meeting
at
that
time,
it's
a
snapshot
of
exactly
what
we
think
we're
going
to
get
reimbursed
and
what
we
also
need
to
pay
out.
Q
So
each
time
we've
come
I'm,
almost
always
here
before
you,
like
every
committee
meeting,
I,
think
so
asking
for
more
money.
We
start
out
with
four
and
a
half
million
dollars
of
cash
and
about
22
million
dollars
of
authority.
In
that
account,
the
authority
is
based
on
a
five-year
average
of
expenditures,
but
the
cash
is
based.
The
cash
on
hand
is
based
on
a
five-year
average
of
expenditures
minus
reimbursements.
So
that's
why
I'm
always
sitting
before
you
asking
for
more
funds
in
order
to
pay
the
bills
up
front
to
then
get
burst
later.
B
And
as
the
sister
of
a
firefighter
for
the
forestry
division,
I,
don't
know
that
I
would
argue
so
additional
questions.
Oh
assemblyman
O'neill.
Please
go
ahead.
Z
Q
Thank
you
for
the
question
Madam
chair
through
you
to
assemblyman
O'neill.
It's
not
a
silly
question.
This
is
a
complicated
budget
account
for
some
of
these
things
we
will
get
reimbursed.
So
yes,
it's
a
constant
flow
of
money
from
you
to
me
than
me
back
to
you
and
then
I
come
back
and
get
more
and
then
I
give
you
more
so
almost
every
year
we
give
you
money
back.
Q
We
don't
get
reimbursed
for
every
dollar
that
we
spend
in
the
account.
Some
of
these
fires
are
ours
and
we
own
the
expenses
on
those
fires
we
get
reimbursed
for
those
that
are
approved
through
the
FEMA
fmag
program.
We
get
up
to
80
percent
of
the
costs
of
the
local
government,
firefighters
reimbursed
through
that
program
and
then
through
cost
share
agreements.
Usually
those
are
split
by
Acres
burned
if
the
forest
service
Burns
70
percent,
they
own.
Q
Seventy
percent
of
the
overall
costs
we
dump
into
the
bucket
everything
we've
all
paid
up
front,
and
then
we
decide
at
the
end
who
pays
who
that's
what
takes
time?
So,
yes,
that's
that's,
basically
how
this
account
works.
Unfortunately,
obviously
I
would
prefer
her
to
have
the
cash
up
front
to
pay
the
bills
that
for
the
average
of
what
we
pay
every
year.
But
that's
that's
how
we
work
it.
Yes,.
B
All
right,
seeing
none
I'll,
take
a
motion
move
to
approve.
Thank
you,
assemblywoman
Monroe,
Moreno.
Second,
from
senator
kenagazaro
any
discussion,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye.
All
those
opposed
motion
passes.
Thank
you
very
much
for
being
with
us
today.
Okay.
The
next
item
is
item
h,
D
and
we'll
have
a
statement
from
Mr
Thorley.
Please
go
ahead.
M
M
M
This
is
made
up
of
three
portions:
the
unrestricted
general
fund,
a
portion
that
is
3.47
million
dollars,
the
unrestricted
Highway
fund,
that
is
1.6
million
dollars,
and
then
the
restricted
general
fund
and
Highway
fund
portion
is
9.6
million
dollars.
M
There
are
three
requests
before
the
committee
today
to
allocate
funding
from
the
unrestricted
general
fund
portion
of
the
contingency
account.
The
total
dollar
amount
of
those
three
requests
is
a
hundred
and
thirty
three
thousand
four
hundred
and
fifty
eight
dollars.
If
all
three
of
those
items
are
approved,
the
remaining
balance
and
the
unrestricted
general
fund
portion
of
the
contingency
account
will
be
3.2
million
dollars.
M
I
would
also
note,
for
the
committee's
benefit
that
the
governor's
recommended
budget
does
include
a
an
appropriation
of
22
million
dollars
in
the
current
fiscal
year
to
restore
the
balance
of
the
unrestricted
general
fund
portion
of
the
IFC
contingency
account.
So
that
request
will
be
going
before
the
money
committees.
When
session
begins
to
be
reviewed
and
considered
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
any
of
the
members
might
have.
B
Any
questions
on
that
item
all
right.
We
do
not
need
to
take
any
action.
We
will
go
on
to
item
I.
Thank
you,
Mr
Thorley.
Will
you
please
go
ahead
and
oh,
we
are
going
to
hear
from
the
office
of
the
lieutenant
governor.
AA
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record
Michael
Dayton
senior
advisor
to
Lieutenant
Governor
before
you
as
a
as
a
request
of
31960,
to
cover
pretty
inexpenses
of
the
lieutenant
governor
during
the
upcoming
session,
and
we
came
up
with
a
figure
working
with
the
with
the
governor's
finance
office
and
Dan.
Marlow
is
here
to
help
help
with
any
technical
questions.
But,
as
you
see
in
the
memo
the
prior
lieutenant
governor
had
resided
in
Reno.
AA
B
AB
A
Moreno,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
So
I
just
have
one
clarifying
question
so,
with
this
amount
that
you're
asking
for
today,
this
will
not
be
in
in
the
gov
Rex
budget.
You
won't
be
coming
back
to
us
during
the
legislative
session
to
ask
for
an
additional
amount.
This
will
cover
everything
needed
for
the
next
period.
Correct.
AB
Once
again,
Daniel
Marlow
for
the
record,
this
is
for
the
82nd
session.
For
this
fiscal
year
we
have
included
in
adjusted
base
sufficient
travel
for
the
fiskier
25
83rd
session.
Thank.
A
B
AC
AC
B
I
I
have
a
quick
question
on
the
allocations
for
Douglas
and
white
pine.
Oh
sorry,
I'm
jumping
ahead,
never
mind.
B
All
right,
we
are
going
to
look
for
a
motion
on
eye
one
move
to
approve
move
to
approve
by
assemblywoman
Monroe
Moreno.
Second,
by
Senator
canizarro,
any
discussion,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye.
All
those
opposed
motion
passes.
Thank
you
very
much
and
now
we'll
move
on
to
I
three.
AD
Good
afternoon,
chair
committee
members,
my
name
is
Marcy
riba
and
I
serve
as
the
executive
director
for
the
Department
of
indigent
defense.
Services
I
am
here
today
on
item
number
three
subsection,
A
and
B
to
request
an
allocation
of
38
960
dollars
to
reimburse
reimburse
Douglas
and
white
pine
counties.
Those
are
considered.
AD
Davis,
counties
and
I'll
do
a
little
recap
of
what
that
means,
and
sixty
two
thousand
five
hundred
eighty
two
dollars
to
reimburse
Elko
and
Humboldt
counties
as
a
quick
reminder
in
2018,
the
ACLU
sued,
the
state
of
Nevada
and
it
alleged
that
certain
rural
counties
were
not
complying
with
the
Sixth
Amendment
of
the
Constitution
and
that's
where,
if
you
can't
afford
to
have
an
attorney
and
you're
charged
with
a
crime,
one
needs
to
be
appointed
for
you.
In
response.
AD
The
Nevada
legislature
passed
ab-81
in
2019,
which
formed
the
department
and
they
set
forth
requirements
like
each
County
had
to
create
a
plan
for
the
provision
of
indigent
defense
services
and
require
that
the
attorneys
incorporate
minimum
standards
in
their
representation
to
assist
with
any
increased
expenses
from
compliance
with
these
minimum
standards.
The
board
on
Indigent
defense
services,
with
authority
from
the
legislature,
created
a
maximum
contribution
formula,
it's
kind
of
like
a
high
deductible
health
care
plan
once
they
hit
a
certain
amount
anything
over
and
above
that
they
can
request
reimbursement.
AD
AD
AE
Thank
you
so
much
Madam
chair
just
a
couple
of
questions
if
I
could
obviously
I
understand
why
we're
here
and
what
we're
doing,
but
I
was
curious
about
whether
you
think
there's
going
to
be
any
additional
requests
coming
for
fiscal
year
for
this
fiscal
year
in
terms
of
a
need
to
reimburse
beyond
what
we're
doing
today,.
AD
Thank
you,
Marcy
Reba,
for
the
record.
The
requests
that
you
have
before
you
today
are
the
remaining
requests
for
fiscal
year
22..
We
have
not
reached
any
requests
for
fiscal
year
23
and
the
reason
that
these
requests
are
coming
in
late
is
attorneys
have
up
to
60
days
after
the
close
of
a
case
to
submit
their
bills.
So
counties
were
contacting
us
after
the
fact
and
saying
we
still
have
additional
funding
requests
and
we
gave
them
extra
time
to
submit
this.
AE
The
second
question
is
obviously
understand
an
assembly
Bill
Aid
assembly,
Bill,
494,
1.2
million
dollars
was
allocated
and
you
know
sort
of
the
reason
we're
in
the
position
now
is
in
a
sense
that
wasn't
sufficient
but
I
know
there's
a
Davis
versus
non-davis,
but
I
noticed
that
there
is
a
contemplated:
supplemental
general
fund
appropriation
of
2.6
million
in
fiscal
year
2023
in
the
governor's
recommended
budget
and
I
just
wondered
if
you
could
speak
to
that
in
terms
of
whether
we
think
that's
going
to
get
us
where
we
need
to
be,
and
if
you
know
whether
that's
going
to
be
a
continuing
appropriation
or
budget
item,
because
I
think,
as
we've
had
this
discussion
multiple
times
we're
trying
to
figure
out
what
the
solution
is
long
term,
so
you
don't
have
to
come
before
IFC
every
45
days
to
ask
for
supplemental
reimbursement.
AD
Do
that
come
on
I
I
can
answer
part
of
your
question:
Marcy
Reba
for
the
record.
Yes,
we
do
have
a
supplemental
appropriation
for
fiscal
year
23.
and
in
May
of
every
year,
counties
reach
out
to
us
and
they
tell
us.
This
is
what
our
expected
spending
is
going
to
be
and
we
took
those
amounts
we
subtracted
what
their
maximum
contribution
formula
was,
and
that
is
what
we
requested
for
that
supplemental
so
that
plus
the
1.2
million
dollars
that
the
legislature
has
set
aside.
We
expect
to
be
sufficient
for
fiscal
year.
AF
Thank
you
for
the
record
Amy
Stevenson
director
for
Governor's
finance
office
through
you,
madam
chair
to
assemblyman
Jaeger
for
20
for
the
upcoming
biennium.
There
is
a
One-Shot
appropriation
of
seven
million
dollars
over
the
biennium.
We
were
also
submitting
a
budget
bdr
to
to
should
be
able
to
answer
your
question
for
that.
AG
And
I
guess
my
my
continued
frustration
comes
from
every
time
we're
in
in
IFC,
and
this
comes
on
our
agenda.
We
have
different
unrestricted
amounts
from
the
IFC
contingency
fund
that
are
coming
forward
to
fulfill
costs.
We
have
had
that
discussion
many
times
we
have
had
discussions
about
not
having
Clarity
on
what
exactly
this
money
is
being
used
for,
because
we
get
two
different
sheets
with
different
numbers
that
do
not
match
up
for
miscellaneous
expenses
versus
attorneys.
Then
that
seems
to
change.
AG
At
the
last
hearing,
we
had
a
conversation
before
approving
additional
funds
for
some
of
these
counties
that
we
felt
was
appropriate,
but
with
the
conversation
that
there
would
be
a
process
in
place
so
that
you
are
not
receiving
post
end
of
fiscal
year,
continuing
requests
for
additional
funds
and
that
it
would
be
built
into
the
budget
for
the
Indigent
defense
services
to
have
to
come
before
the
full
legislature.
So
we
could
appropriate
money
to
cover
these
costs.
AG
So
we
do
not
have
at
every
IFC
meeting
or
almost
every
IFC
meeting
a
continued
request
for
additional
funds
of
various
amounts
so
that
we
could
have
a
proper
budgeting
process
and
at
that
meeting,
when
I
asked
for
that
to
be
part
of
what
we
were
doing
going
forward.
My
understanding-
and
you
can
correct
me
if
I
am
wrong-
was
that
that
was
going
to
be
how
we
handled
this
particular
issue
that
it
would
be
built
into
the
budget.
AG
So
there
could
be
some
conversation
about
what
was
really
needed
so
that
it
wasn't
coming
back
after
the
fact
and
so
that
we
weren't
continuing
this
position
of
having
to
come
up
with
additional
funds
for
recurring
things
that
we
need
to
know
before
we're
sitting
in
an
IFC
meeting
and
being
asked
again
to
put
some
additional
funds
for
late
coming
requests
for
various
reasons.
I'm
now
hearing
that
there
is
a
supplemental
appropriation
for
the
2.6
that
should
cover
the
remainder
for
fiscal
year
23
and
my
question
on
that
is
going
to
be.
AG
You
know
what
assurances
or
details
can
you
provide
to
us
that
that's
going
to
be
sufficient
to
cover
whatever
unknown
remaining
expenses
may
be
out
there
and
then
two?
Why
are
we
seeing
two
One-Shot
Appropriations
in
each
fiscal
year
rather
than
having
this
built
into
a
budget
so
that
we
can
plan
appropriately
and
instead
saying,
let's
take
One-Shot
money
and
put
it
into
these
two
One-Shot
requests
for
3.5
million
in
each
fiscal
year?
AG
AD
Thank
you,
Marcy
Reba,
for
the
record.
If
I
could
answer
part
of
the
question
and
then
if
I
could
direct
the
rest
to
director
Stevenson,
we
heard
you
loud
and
clear
when
you
were
saying
that
you
wanted
better
accountability
from
the
counties.
We
are
a
very
small
agency.
We
are
employed
of
seven
employees,
but
what
we've
done
is
we've
worked
on
education
with
the
rural
counties.
We've
clearly
defined
what
Indigent
defense
services
are.
We've
worked
with
County
leadership,
and
we've
asked
them
to
provide
us
their
County
books
to
show
exactly
what
these
expenses
were.
AD
We
have
put
one
person
in
our
office
to
review
those
and
to
reach
out
to
the
counties
to
ensure
that
these
are
Indigent
defense
expenses,
and
we
are
closely
working
with
these
rural
counties
and
they
are.
They
are
wonderful
to
work
with
they're,
giving
us
everything
that
we're
requesting.
So
we
have
heard
this
committee
loud
and
clear.
We
are
taking
those
into
consideration,
we
are
watching
what
is
being
spent
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
it
is
going
to
Indigent
defense
services
to
make
sure
that
we
are
providing
these
Services.
AD
We
are
in
a
a
crisis
for
Indigent
defense
Services.
We
have
a
limited
number
of
individuals
that
are
doing
this
practice,
especially
in
the
rural
counties,
and
we
expect
costs
to
go
up
because
we're
having
to
pay
travel
costs
to
pay
people
from
Vegas
to
go
to
Elko,
to
pay
people
from
all
of
these
counties
to
go
to
other
places
where
we
just
don't
have
enough.
So
we
are
hoping
that
the
supplemental
appropriation
is
enough.
AD
It's
based
on
what
counties
told
us
they
expect
to
spend,
but
in
unprecedented
times
like
this,
where
we
cannot
find
Council
to
cover
these
cases
in
a
lot
of
in
a
lot
of
places
that
are
local,
we
are
reaching
out
to
attorneys
across
the
state
and
asking
them
to
come
to
different
counties
to
provide
that
representation,
and
it
is
more
expensive
than
we've
seen
historically.
So
we
are
hoping
that
it
is
enough,
and
I
would
I
would
turn
it
to
director
Stevenson.
AF
Thank
you
for
the
record
Amy
Stevenson
director
for
Governor's
finance
office.
As
far
as
the
One-Shot
Appropriations
for
the
3.5
million
in
each
year,
the
current
Administration
we
wanted
to
allow
for
a
more
flexible
access
for
the
Department
of
indigent
defense
for
those
for
those
money
so
that
they
can
pay
their
bills
on
more
on
a
regular
basis
since
Boe
meets
monthly.
So
the
intent
for
these
One-Shot
Appropriations
is
to
go
into
the
Boe
to
be
approved
by
Boe
for
them
to
be
able
to
pay
their
bills.
AF
AF
Have
the
oversight
for
that
the
allocation
to
the
Boe
fund
and
then
they,
the
Indigent
defense,
would
have
to
come
to
Boe
to
get
those
funds.
Does
that
answer
your
question.
AG
I
mean
it
does
answer
the
question
as
to
why
it
was
put
in
there
as
a
one
shot.
I
think
there
may
be
potentially
some
disagreement
over
whether
that's
the
most
efficient
way
to
fund
an
agency
that
is
designed
for
the
purpose
of
providing
these
Services
right.
It's
and
and
I
don't
want
anyone
to
mistake.
The
fact
that
I
have
questions
with
either
not
wanting
to
provide
Indigent
services
or
not
finding
the
value
in
that
or
not
understanding.
AG
Obviously,
the
complications
of
trying
to
find
competent
counsel
that
is
willing
to
take
on
these
cases,
and
that
can
travel
and
they
can
go
to
rural
parts,
and
you
know,
obviously,
we
as
a
state
have
an
obligation
and
I
think
you
know
we
believe
and
the
legislature
that
we
absolutely
have
a
duty
to
provide
those
services
but
I
think
from
a
budgeting
standpoint.
We
kind
of
need
to
know
like
what
does
that
cost.
AG
What
it
costs
is,
what
we,
as
a
state,
are
obligated
to
provide
and
I
think
that
the
Davis
decision
is
pretty
clear,
that
that
is
an
obligation
that
we
have
as
a
state
is
to
ensure
that
there
is
competent,
Indigent
defense
services.
But
it
makes
it
very
difficult
to
do
that
when
everything
feels
very
after
the
fact
or
let's
just
allow
this
money
and
then
what
guarantees
do
we
have
about
if
that's
enough
and
where
it's
going
and
so
from
I.
AG
Mystery
of
us
I-
know
you're
dealing
with
a
lot
of
counties
who
are
trying
to
put
systems
in
place
which
we've
had
that
discussion
as
well.
But
I
think
we
need
to
do
a
better
job
of
making
sure
those
systems
are
in
place.
So
we
can
have
more
predictability
in
the
budgeting
process,
so
we're
allocating
the
proper
amount
of
money
not
putting
the
state
at
risk
and
allowing
your
agency
to
operate
without
having
to
continue
to
have
this
conversation
with
IFC.
AH
AH
So
I
appreciate
the
work
that
you
have
done
over
the
past
like
four
years
in
bringing
this
office
up
to
speed,
I
and
I
know
that
you
have
been
working
a
lot
with
the
rurals
to
get
them
educated
on
the
new
process
and
procedures
and
requirements
and
I
know
that
you
have
a
very
limited
staff.
Can
you
kind
of
explain
some
of
the
staffing
issues
that
you
might
have
in
covering
the
vast
majority
of
the
rural
parts
of
our
state.
AD
Thank
you,
Marcy
Reba,
for
the
record.
We
do
have
a
very
small
staff.
It's
made
up
of
myself
two
Deputy
directors
and
we
have
two
management
analysts.
We
also
have
an
executive
assistant
and
an
administrative
assistant
for
what
recently
added
a
large
increase
in
workload
for
us
was
assembly.
Bill
480
in
2021.,
one
of
the
biggest
things
that
they
request
us
to
do
in
Sixth,
Amendment
representation
is
provide
separation
from
the
Judiciary.
AD
Historically,
public
defenders
would
have
to
go
and
ask
judges
for
funds
to
do
hire
an
expert
or
to
do
investigation,
but
the
prosecutors
wouldn't
have
to
do
that
when
we're
selecting
attorneys.
If
there's
a
conflict
for
a
public
defender,
it
would
be
the
judge
deciding
who
did
that,
but
they've
recommended
that
it's
an
appearance
of
impropriety
for
the
Judiciary
to
be
making
these
decisions
and
playing
a
role
in
these
cases.
AD
So
this
legislature
passed
assembly,
Bill
480,
which,
in
the
rural
counties,
provided
the
additional
duties
to
our
department
to
select
Council
in
the
rural
counties
and
also
to
approve
these
requests
for
Indigent
defense,
Services
expenses
for
experts
and
investigators.
We
have
worked
with
the
rural
counties
to
provide
designees,
but
in
some
cases
like
Elko,
for
example,
they
had
nine
public
defenders,
two
of
them
left
to
go
to
an
urban
County
and
one
of
them
passed
away,
so
their
Workforce
reduced
by
a
third.
AD
AD
We
have
a
Davis
monitor
that
is
watching
what
we're
doing
and
she
would
like
us
to
have
individuals
that
can
go
to
courtrooms
across
every
rural
County
and
watch
what's
going
on,
but
with
a
staff
of
of
three.
It's
not
really
realistic
for
us
to
do
that,
especially
when
we're
working
with
County
leadership
to
just
get
cases
to
have
representation.
AD
So
those
are
some
of
our
struggles
that
we're
struggling
with
at
this
point,
but
we
have
achieved
some
some
really
great
things:
we're
providing
free
training,
we're
providing
in-person
training
and
we're
hoping
to
connect
all
public
defenders
across
the
state
to
make
that
representation
and
provide
those
services
in
the
rurals,
because
they
really
need
that
assistance.
Now.
AH
I
have
one
follow-up,
so
is
it
fair
to
say
within
those
I
think
you
said
five
into
five
or
seven
individuals
in
Europe?
It's
it's
seven
total!
Yes,
so
you
have
the
same.
People
that
are
training
attorneys,
trying
to
observe
attorneys
in
court,
also
doing
accounting
issues
and
selecting
attorneys
and
distributing
those
attorneys
throughout
and
trying
to
recruit,
attorneys
all
doing
those
same
jobs.
AD
Marcy
rivo
for
the
record,
yes,
and
we're
also
reviewing
these
County
quarterly
billing,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
they're
accurate,
so
we
are
doing
the
best
that
that
we
can
with
our
limited
staff.
And
yes,
we
have
a
very
limited
staff.
Now
it's
very
tight.
Thank.
AH
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair
director,
Stevenson
to
me
listening
to
this
budget
after
we
listened
to
our
fire
budget,
it's
almost
in
some
ways
the
same.
We
can't
predict
how
many
forest
fires
we're
going
to
have,
and
so
we
continue
to
backfill
what
they've
spent
and
in
rural
Nevada
and
or
anywhere
we
never
can
predict
what
events
are
going
to
occur,
the
charges
that
may
happen
and
what
that
cost
is
going
to
be
to
defend
that
individual.
L
So
it's
not
a
surprise
to
me
that
you,
you
can't
predict
how
much
this
is
going
to
cost.
If
somebody,
if
there's
a
murder
trial,
if
there's
some
other
try,
Indigent
defense
will
span
the
whole
pendulum
of
cases
that
it
could
be,
and
so
I
for
one
understand
and
appreciate
what
you're
doing
with
your
limited
staff
to
me,
the
Dave
and
I
guess
this
is
more
of
a
statement.
L
The
whole
Davis
decision
that
left
out
the
counties
that
I
did
was
only
because
those
counties
weren't
involved
in
a
soup
because
they
were
trying
to
do
they
were
doing
their
job
and
so
I
don't
want
to
penalize
those
counties
that
weren't
involved
in
the
suit,
because
they
did
a
good
job
and
I
feel
we
should
be
reimbursing
them.
So
not
surprised
that
we
have
to
backfill,
and
you
can't
predict
how
much
it's
going
to
cost.
So
thank
you
for
what
you
are
doing
for
the
rules.
AI
Senator
Taj
has
pretty
much
played
my
case.
You
know
again,
the
Royals
are
trying
and
again
not
many
attorneys
want
to
work
for
150
an
hour
when
there's
20
below
zero.
You
know,
that's
the
bottom
line
there
you're
not
going
to
travel
to
Elko
and
take
a
case
like
this
on.
We
can't
predict
what
you
know.
AI
What
kind
of
events
are
going
to
occur
in
Royal,
County
and
and
I
TR
I
believe
the
rural
counties
are
trying
they're
trying
to
get
there
and
we
just
need
to
put
you
know:
I
I,
before
we
came
to
this
staff,
couldn't
even
tell
you
you
know
I
got
calls
from
you
know
it's
only
forty
thousand
dollars,
but
from
Humboldt
County
yeah.
They
need
the
money,
so
we've
got
to
provide
a
service.
The
court
said
it's
up
to
the
state
to
help
on
this
I
don't
see
where
there's
any
argument.
J
J
So
are
you
forced
to
go
out
and,
let's
say,
get
an
attorney
from
Las
Vegas,
or
could
you
increase
the
cases
that
the
remaining
six
have
I'm
just
trying
to
figure
out?
What
is
the
requirement
and
then
what
does
that
cost
us
as
a.
AD
J
AD
You
Marcy
Reba
for
the
record.
We
are
in
the
process
of
creating
a
workload
standard.
That's
one
of
the
requirements
of
the
Davis
stipulated
consent
judgment
we
have
contracted
with
the
national
Center
for
state
courts
and
at
the
end,
what
we're
hoping
is
that
there'll
be
a
recommendation
of
an
attorney,
can
handle
this
many
cases
and
then
we'll
know
exactly
how
many
attorneys
are
needed
for
each
County
right
now.
AD
My
understanding
is
that
the
Elko
County
salaries,
while
comparable
to
the
District
Attorney's
Office
in
Elko,
are
substantially
lower
than
what
we
see
in
the
urban
counties
and-
and
this
is
what
we're
seeing
we're
seeing
the
squeezing
of
the
balloon
of
a
limited
number
of
indigent
defense
Council
that
can
provide
these
services
and
they're
being
taken
from
one
County
to
the
other
County
to
provide
these
of
the
of
the
one.
That's
paying
the
most
money.
AD
So
we're
we're
seeing
the
struggle
at
this
point
in
time,
and
we
can't
necessarily
increase
the
workload
because
you're
entitled
to
competent
Council.
They
have
to
have
sufficient
time
to
be
able
to
represent
you
fully
and
that's
a
requirement
of
the
sixth
amendment,
so
we
can't
necessarily
increase
their
workload.
It
appears
that
they're
already
overworked
in
Elko
County.
So
what
we're
doing
instead
is
we're
working
with
County
leadership
and
we
are
encouraging
them
to
have
a
secondary
source
of
representation.
My
understanding
is
Elko.
AD
County
is
working
to
have
contracts
with
local
attorneys
so
that
they
could
be
the
conflict
attorney
and
it
would
be
more
automatic
than
it
currently
is.
So
these
are
things
that
are
currently
set
up,
but
that
would
need
to
be
done
to
require
it.
It
would
need
to
be
done
by
regulation,
so
we're
just
working
on
good
faith
with
the
county
to
try
and
get
these
contracts
in
place.
Thank.
W
AJ
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I
I
agree
with
with
just
about
everything.
That's
been
stated
today
that
you
know
from
the
majority
leader
that
it's
frustrating
that
we
have
to
keep
coming
back
part
of
it.
My
understanding,
please
correct
me.
AJ
That's
across
the
entire
state
right
we
have
shortage
of
of
Staff
in
every
department,
but
my
question
is:
is:
are
we
putting
ourselves
in
Jeopardy
for
the
settlement
that
we
entered
into
with
the
ACLU
in
the
Davis
case?
AJ
By
not
addressing
this
and
and
my
my
follow-up
will
be-
is
just
a
statement
to
please
make
sure
we
bring
forward
more
funding
during
the
next
session.
So
I
could
just
just
touch
on
the
the
settlement
and
make
sure
that
we're
not
going
to
be
in
violation.
AD
Thank
you,
Marcy
Reba
for
the
record.
I
I
can't
really
speak
on
the
settlement,
because
I
don't
represent
either
side.
I
am
just
working,
as
was
requested
by
the
state,
to
try
and
bring
us
in
compliance
with
this.
So
what
can
we
do
in
the
future?
More
funding
is
always
appropriate.
I
heard
a
hearing
this
morning
where
they're,
asking
about
working
with
the
UNLV
Boyd
School
of
Law,
to
encourage
them
to
come
into
the
rural
counties
and
I.
AD
So
what
we
were
able
to
do
this
year
is
we
successfully
obtained
a
grant
from
the
State
Bar
to
provide
6
500
stipend
to
pay
a
student
from
Boyd
School,
a
law
to
come
to
a
rural
County
for
10
weeks
in
the
summer?
They
could
get
credit
if
they
want
and
we're
trying
to
introduce
them
to
what
it's
like
in
the
rurals
to
show
them.
What
the
benefit
is,
unfortunately,
that
funding
source
is
no
longer
because
you
have
to
be
a
non-profit
to
qualify
for
or
future
funds
from
the
State
Bar.
AD
Z
AD
Marcy
riba
for
the
record.
The
the
maximum
contribution
formula
is
based
off
of
County
funding
for
fiscal
year
18
and
fiscal
year,
19.,
so
Carson
City
reported
funding
for
both
of
those
years
and
each
quarter
they
provide
to
us
what
their
funding
is.
So
this
is
all
based
off
of
County
reporting.
Historically,
Carson
City
has
used
the
state
public
defender
to
provide
these
services,
so
that
has
been
a
consistent
cost.
There
wasn't
a
great
increase
in
expenses
for
Carson
City
because
they
didn't
have
to
change
their
system
or
their
model
in
any
way.
AD
The
counties
that
you
see
the
big
costs
for
the
the
extra
costs
are
for
those
counties
that
are
hiring
more
Personnel
or
having
extra
expenses
for
some
sort
of
reason.
For
example,
some
counties
have
created
a
public
defender's
office
or
they've
added
a
number
of
contracts
that
they
didn't
have
previously.
So
it's
just
based
on
historical
funding
and
what
they're
reporting
to
us.
Z
AD
Thank
you,
Marcy
Rieber,
for
the
record,
I
think
the
key
to
ab81
is
County
choice,
so
we
work
with
counties
to
support
how
they
would
like
to
provide
Indigent
defense
services.
So
there's
actually
three
ways:
you
can
provide
Indigent
defense
services
in
the
state
of
Nevada.
You
can
form
a
county
office.
For
example,
Elko
has
a
county
office
where
they
have
County
public
defenders
that
are
paid
through
the
county.
AD
You
can
opt
into
the
Nevada
state
public
defender
which
Carson
City
has
done
and
which
part
of
that
expense
falls
on
the
state
because
of
certain
jobs
that
the
public
defender
performs
for
the
state
or
you
could
hire
contract
attorneys
to
cover
this
representation.
So
what
Carson
City
does
is
they
have
the
state
public
defender
for
that
primary
representation?
And
then
they
contract
with
three
independent
attorneys
to
provide
conflict
representation
since
the
Inception
of
our
department,
they
have
not
changed
how
they
provide
these
Services.
AD
They
have
not
increased
costs
that
they're
paying
to
these
indigen
or
actually
they
did
increase,
cost
their
paint
engine
defense
providers,
but
it's
still
the
same
system
and
they
have
not
gone
over
their
maximum
contribution
formula
based
on
their
reporting,
so
that
that
could
be
a
possibility.
But
ab81
now
allows
for
that
that
choice
for
counties
to
tell
us
how
they
would
like
to
provide
it
and
as
long
as
it
complies
with
the
minimum
standards,
the
board
has
approved
those
requests.
Z
B
B
Senator
Titus
and
the
second
from
senator
gokuccia
any
discussion
about
how
far
it
is
in
Nevada.
Thank
you
all
right.
Thank
you.
All
those
in
favor
say
aye.
All
those
opposed
motion
passes.
Thank
you
very
much
and
next
time
we'll
have
a
geography
lesson
all
right.

committee,
approval
of
transferable
tax
credits
as
part
of

abatement
and
incentive
package.
Redwood

a
little
background
on

these
critical
battery
materials,
which
account
for
65
percent
of
the
cost
of

have
been
manufactured
at

L
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and,
and
thank
you
for
coming
here
today.
I'm
I'm,
curious
about
the
process
and
I've
never
been
shy
about
sharing
my
frustration
over
tax
abatements,
which
I
have
never
supported
and
won't
support
this
one.
There
are
other
companies
out
there
that
are
in
your
in
your
business
and
there's
one
Aqua,
Meadows
metals
that
are
out
there.
How
are
you
in
your
economic
model?
Can
you
sustain
without
the
government
support
of
these
tax
abatements
or
will
you
be
required
always
to
is?
AL
You
know,
let
me
address
Aqua
Metals
first
I'll.
Do
that
okay
and
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
our
director
of
Business
Development
Melanie
Sheldon,
because
we
have
worked
with
aqua
Metals
in
the
past,
but
they're
not
current
on
the
docket.
Maybe
you
can
update
the
senator
a
little
bit
on
Aqua
metals.
AM
So
they
were
sorry
Melanie
Sheldon
for
the
record.
Apologies.
The
aqua
Metals
is
a
clean
smeltering
operation.
They
are
actually
they.
They
do
have
a
recycling
component,
but
they
are
different
to
Redwood
materials
as
red
materials
are
actually
Recycling
and
Manufacturing
a
component
that
is
predominantly
done
in
communist
China
right
right
now.
Aqua
metals
are
a
fantastic
operation.
While
they
are
doing
an
amazing
amazing
things
they
are,
they
do
have
quite
a
different
operation
to
Redwood.
AN
Right
and
then
thank
you
to
follow
up
on
on
the
rest
of
your
question.
There
Senator
for
the
record,
Dante
tro,
with
redwood
materials
through
the
chair
to
Senator
Titus
as
far
as
Government
subsidies
and
and
the
like.
Obviously,
this
helps
us
get
us
up
and
going.
AN
We
want
to
have
a
clear
and
defined
presence
here
in
Nevada,
obviously
with
California
as
one
of
the
largest
consumers
of
electric
vehicles
and
then
Nevada
with
a
significant
amount
of
lithium
activity
provided
in
that
we're
we're
eager
to
be
a
part
of
it,
and
we
are
competing,
as
was
mentioned
with
Nations,
that
have
lower
or
substandard
human
rights
and
labor
practices,
and
so
every
dollar
does
matter,
and
every
dollar
does
matter
to
bring
these
supplies
here.
AN
In
this
closed
loop
supply
chain,
as
far
as
being
profitable,
we
anticipate
to
be
profitable
when
we're
fully
up
and
running,
and
this
helps
us
get
get
us
there
quicker,
and
it
also
makes
Nevada
more
attractive
for
us,
as
we
have
had
competition
from
other
states
and
have
do
have
another
facility
on
the
East
Coast.
Starting
now,.
L
A
follow-up
manager
without
these
transferable
credits,
will
you
be
able
to
do
business
in
Nevada,
yeah.
AN
Will
we
and
what
do
we
want
to
sorry,
Don
Tetro
for
the
record
through
the
chair
to
Senator
Titus,
you
know,
as
we
look
and
we
stress
every
dollar
we
are
committed
to
the
state.
This
is
where
our
headquarters
is.
This
is
where
you
know
our
families
are,
and
we
want
to
do
as
much
business
as
possible.
AN
Would
it
have
an
impact
in
scaling
up
or
down
increases
or
decreases
absolutely,
and
as
we
look
dollar
for
dollar,
if
we
can
stretch
dollars
further
in
other
areas,
I
think
we
would
but
eager
to
continue
business.
Here
we
are
in
production
of
copper,
foil
first
time
ever
in
the
United
States,
providing
that
to
one
of
our
partners
here
locally
and
so
would
love
to
see
that
continued
and
supported
by
the
state.

Tetro

Road

for
the
record
through
the
chair
to
Senator
Titus.
It
is
us
we're
the
ones
with
the
facility
there
and
we
are
a
recycler.
So,
as
mentioned,
we
can
take
everything
from
your
cell
phones
to
your
electric
toothbrushes.
AN
Anything
you
plug
in
that
holds
a
charge
to
electric
battery
Vehicles
recently
completed
a
one-year
pilot
study
in
California,
where
we
received
a
190,
000
plus
kilograms
of
battery
packs
and
have
recycled
those
that's
roughly
1300
cars
and
as
more
of
these
electric
vehicles
come
into
or
out
of
commission,
we
are
able
to
then
capture
that
again.
So,
yes,
we
anticipate
to
be
fully
profitable
once
you
know
we're
fully
up
and
running,
and
these
are
completed.
L
B
I'm
going
to
jump
in
here
before
we
go
to
the
next
person.
My
question
is
always
because,
with
with
a
company
comes
the
workers,
the
families,
and
then
we
have
schools
because
everybody
has
to
have
their
kids
in
school.
So
what
are
we
doing
to
help
those
schools?
Where
is
the
investment
in
the
community
to
help
those
schools
take
in
this
influx
eventually
of
families?
And
this
is
the
same
soapbox
I
was
on
clear
back
when
we
did
Tesla.
So
it's
nothing
new.

Thank
you
chair.
AN
It's
a
great
question,
fortunately
I'm
proud
to
say
that
we've
been
able
to
hire
75
locally,
and
you
know
we
already
have
over
600
employees
here,
headquartered
in
Carson
City,
some
of
those
also
out
at
Tri
so
and
looking
to
partner
more
with
the
universities,
both
North
and
South,
to
bring
in
more
more
people
directly
from
either
the
community
colleges
or
the
universities
directly
into
our
company,
so
really
pushing
for
a
local
hiring
practice
as
well
and
obviously
going
to
be
great
Community
Partners
with
the
school
we're
already
looking
at
the
school
for
a
variety
of
opportunities
to
partner
in
not
only
helping
to
get
more
kids
into
the
engineering
and
specifically
chemical
engineering,
which
we're
we
need
as
many
chemical
Engineers
as
possible.
AN
AN
AN
Eyes
in
the
back
of
her
head,
thank
you
and
I
would
offer
sorry
Don
Tetra
for
the
record.
If
anyone
wants
a
tour,
we'd
be
more
than
happy
to.
T
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I.
I
wasn't
going
to
ask
a
question,
but
but
can
you
at
least
because
I
don't
think
I
heard
this
for
the
2.1
million?
How
much
will
actually
be
abated
in
personal
property,
tax,
real
property
tax
sales
tax
for
for
this
project,
because
I'm
assuming
you're,
going
the
full
length
of
this
legislation
and
for
everybody's
recollection
they're
using
the
Faraday
language?
So
that's.
Why
you
you
all
probably
all
only
know
it
by
the
fair
day
language,
but
it
hadn't
been
used.
So
now
it's
being
triggered
for
this.
AN
J
Thank
you
chair.
Thank
you
for
this
information
in
your
presentation
here.
My
question
is
when
it
goes
to
the
governor's
office
of
Economic
Development,
you
have
to
show
that
the
economic
output
and
benefit
to
the
state
will
exceed
the
tax
abatement
credits
that
you're
getting.
Isn't
that
correct.
AN
Don
Tetro
with
red
roof
materials
for
the
record
through
the
chair
to
assembly,
woman
kasama.
Yes,
absolutely
so
we're
looking
at
almost
a
6.5
billion
dollar
impact
regionally
or
through
the
state,
among
other
things,
and
also
project
they've
done
a
full
economic
impact,
analysis
and
I
believe
that
was
provided
to
you.
If
not,
would
be
happy
to
provide
whatever
materials
you
need.
But,
yes,
correct.
AN
Dante
Trove
with
redwood
materials
for
the
record,
so
today
no
we're
not
asking
for
38
million
in
abatements.
That's
the
maximum
allowed
under
the
law
for
any
company
that
came
before
you
today,
I
believe
before
you,
you
have
2.1
that
was
submitted
through
the
economic
impact
analysis
that
was
completed
at
the
time
of
our
application,
which
was
April
7th
of
2022.
Since
then,
we've
brought
on
significant
Partners
President
Biden
passed.
AN
The
inflation
reduction
act
would
actually
sort
of
through
a
lot
more
weight
behind
what
we
are
doing
and
emphasis
on
this
as
a
national
security
and
economic
security
point.
So
today
we
we
could
go
upwards
of
1500
employees
and
meet
that
easily
so
before
he
was
only
701
employees
and
I
think
the
total
abatements
of
the
2.1375
million
in
front
of
you
would
be
215
or
225
employees,
which
we
would
already
surpass
and.
AN
Dante
true
with
Redmond
Redwood
materials
for
the
record
through
the
charity
assembly,
one
so
right
now,
I
would
say
1400
employees,
given
all
the
new
partners
that
we
have
and
in
the
package
and
the
analysis
that
we
had.
We
wanted
to
be
very
conservative
and
obviously
a
lot
has
changed
since
April,
so
we'll
be
looking
at
4
400
employees
here
that
will
provide
100
gigawatt
hours
of
battery
materials
and
that
in
turn
would
make
one
million
electric
vehicles,
which
is
two
and
a
half
gigafactories.
Well,.
J
AC
I'm,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
I
just
wanted
to
ask
you
specifically
about
the
transferable
tax
credits,
so
you're
asking
for
a
number
of
employees
at
9
500
each.
How
much
do
you
have
to
be
paid
at
least
22
hours
22
an
hour
to
qualify?
How
much
do
you
anticipate
paying
these
types
of
workers
that
you're
asking
for
the
credit
and
then
how
much
do
you
think
you
actually
spend
on
training
for
the
type
of
positions
that
you
requested
today.
AN
I
AN
Looking
at
a
partnership
with
the
Carson
City,
Community,
College
or
I'm,
sorry,
Western,
Nevada
college,
to
help
training
and
how
we
share,
or
what
portion
of
that
expense
we
cover
is
undetermined,
so
it
would
be
significantly
more
than
9
500
per
employee,
though
just
in
in
teaching
the
onboarding
somebody
bring
them
in
getting
them
up
to
speed
safety,
training
and
and
all
the
the
rest.
It's
significantly
over.
Ninety
five
hundred
dollars
per
employee
for
these
Nevada
residents
that
would
qualify.
Thank.
AC
You
and
then
you
know
talking
about
those
Partnerships,
it
sounds
like
some
of
the
funds
will
come
back
to
us
or
comes
come
back
to
educational
institutions
that
were
within
the
state,
but
I
also
wanted
to
Circle
back
to
Senator
dundera
Loop's
question
about
education,
I'm
thinking
when
you're,
it's
not
related
to
this,
but
sort
of
the
the
tax
exemption
that
you
still
pay
the
lsst,
so
that
was
carved
out
some
years
ago.
So
when
you
look
at
like
the
sales
tax
exemption,
the
piece
that
would
go
directly
to
education
is
not
Exempted
from
that.
AN
Absolutely
correct:
we
will
be
paying
that,
and
so
that
will
go
to
the
schools,
and
then
we
also,
like
I
said,
are
partnering
in
a
variety
of
ways,
with
local
schools.
Really,
we've
found
that
fifth
grade
and
up
benefit
the
most
on
tours.
AN
Getting
involved
in
these
stem
education,
we're
looking
to
partner
with
schools
for
Consumer
recycling
participation,
so
to
bring
in
your
old
cell
phones,
your
old
electric
electric
toothbrushes
and
that
types
of
thing,
and
it
really
shows
a
Hands-On
thing
there
so
really
being
a
partner
in
the
community
and
reaching
as
far
as
we
can
as
we
get
that
up
and
running
to
also
partnering,
with
large
retail
stores
in
their
recycling
programs.
So
to
say
we're
Partners
I
think
would
be
understating.
AN
AC
Thank
you,
I
appreciate
you
bringing
the
jobs
to
the
state
of
Nevada
and
I,
appreciate
that
we're
going
to
be
part
of
the
closed
loop
supply
chain
for
these
types
of
materials
and
that
we
are
our
competing
nationally,
maybe
internationally,
on
some
of
these
some
of
these
recycling
or
reuse
methods
that
are
being
brought
forward.
So
so,
thank
you
great.
N
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
I
just
wanted
to
ask
these
these
transferable
taxes
on
the
employees,
it
that
only
goes
well,
while
some
of
the
other
abatements
go
through.
You
know
15,
10
years.
This
is
only
for
two
years.
AN
Don
Pedro,
with
redwood
materials,
threw
the
chair
to
assembly
woman,
Dickman
correct
under
statute.
They
expire.
What
was
it
June,
30th,
2025.
and.
AN
Today,
I
hope
not
just
kidding.
No,
yes,
absolutely
I
believe
we
could,
but
after
they
expire
statute
wise,
we
would.
You
would
have
to
pass
a
bill
through
the
legislature.
So
then
it
would
not
be
an
option.
Okay,.
W
Thank
you,
madam
chair
Mike.
The
question
we're
following
up
on
the
Senator's
line
of
questioning
relative
to
hourly
wages
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
go
on
record
as
stating
well,
you've
stated
that
you
have
an
average
hourly
wage
of
32
an
hour.
We
would
anticipate
that
none
of
your
employees
would
then
access
other
state
services
like
Medicaid,
that
all
of
your
employees
would
be
receiving
living
wages
and
appropriate
benefits.
AN
Don
Tetro
with
redwood
materials
through
the
chair
to
assembly,
One
Brown
May.
Yes,
absolutely
that
would
be
the
hope.
I,
don't
know
that
100
I
can't
answer
that
100
obviously,
but
we
also
do
provide
a
significant
amount
of
benefits.
75
percent
of
all
Health
Care
for
the
employee
and
dependents,
currently
as
as
well
as
a
variety
of
other
benefits,
so
I
think
we're
very
competitive.
I
think
we're
bringing
great
jobs
to
the
region
and
to
the
state
and
to
Foster
this
closed-loop
circular
supply
chain.
B
Thank
you,
assemblyman
O'neill.
Did
you
have
a
question.
Z
Yes,
ma'am,
if
I
may,
thank
you
chair
very
quickly.
If
your
request
is
approved
today,
when
would
the
tax
credits
be
issued
and
when
what
fiscal
years
would
be
they'd
be
utilized
in.
AN
Don
Tatro,
with
redwood
materials
for
the
record
through
the
chair
to
assemblyman
O'neill
I,
believe
that,
while
this
request
today
of
if
it
were
the
two
point,
one
three,
seven
five
million
would
be
fairly
immediate
in
the
sense
that
we
will
hit.
The
employee
threshold
like
I,
said
because
we've
Advanced
so
quickly
through
our
production
in
the
215
to
225
employees
would
be
surpassed
a
very
quick
manner,
almost
immediately.
AN
Correct
yeah
I
don't
believe
that
we
would
be
able
to
complete
the
contract
with
the
state
through
the
abatement
package,
get
that
completed
and
go
before
the
tax
commission
and
get
that
or
I.
Forgive
me
if
I
misspoke,
on
who
we
go
in
front
of
to
get
that
done,
but
I
doubt
it
would
be
through
this
fiscal
year.
So
next
fiscal
year,
absolutely.
B
T
Can
we
can
we
just
talk
about
the
goet
process
and
how
you
guys
have
already
approved
the
abatement
side
of
this
and
actually
put
the
numbers
into
the
record
on
what
is
actually
abated
for
real
property
sales
and
other
yes,
you're
here
for
the
transferable
tax
credits,
but
in
December
you
guys
have
already
moved
the
needle
on
this,
because
you
don't
need
us
to
do
that.
So,
can
you
put
the
numbers
on
there
about
how
much
this
project
is
going
to
abate.
AL
So
for
the
record
Bob
Potts
deputy
director
at
goed
here
on
to
Senator
Neil
through
you
chair
on
their
loop
at
the
December
1
board
meeting,
we
had
approved
in
sales
and
use
tax
for
for
46
million
566
432
dollars
that
was
ratified
last
week
at
Thursday's
special
board
meeting
to
to
pull
out
the
local
school
support
tax
portion
so
that
sales
and
use
taxes
now
down
to
21
million
six
hundred
and
two
thousand
nine
hundred
eighty
four
dollars
the
modified
business
tax
is
75
percent
for
two
years
or
for
10
years,
2
million
797.99.
AL
They
say
that
again,
two
million
797
918
personal
and
real
property
tax
abatement,
54
million
one
hundred
and
thirteen
thousand
two
hundred
and
thirty
two
dollars.
And
then
this
transferable
tax
credit
portion
that
we're
coming
before
you
today
for
is
two
million
one
hundred
and
thirty
seven
thousand
five
hundred
dollars.
A
AN
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Don
Tatro
with
redwood
materials
for
the
record
through
the
chair
to
the
vice
chair,
I,
don't
know
directly.
I,
don't
have
an
answer.
Obviously
you
know
we
want
to
be
just
supported
by
the
state.
We
want
to
move
forward
with
this
project.
We
are
moving
forward
with
this
project
in
the
state.
We
love
it
here.
We
are
already
under
production
with
the
copper
foil
and
we'll
continue
that,
but
if
it
were
to
adjust
increasing
with
a
faster
production
schedule
in
in
another
facility,
that's
a
possibility.
A
I
would
say
that
the
state
has
already
supported
you
with
the
abatement
of
the
personal
and
real
property
tax
abatement,
the
modified
business
tax
abatement,
the
cells
in
use,
tax
abatement,
two
of
them
for
10
years
and
the
third
for
15
years.
So
I
would
say
the
state
has
generously
support
it.
You.
So
how
would
this
2
million
affect
your
decision
for
not
to
come
here,
and
how
would
you
justify
in
saying
that
that
would
not
be
the
state
supporting
you.
AN
I
apologize
for
anything
that
showed
that
we
were
not
thankful
for
the
state
support
and
obviously
this
would
be
another
additional
like
I
said:
every
dollar
counts.
We
are
competing
internationally
through
a
variety
of
practices
in
around
the
world
right
and
we're
the
only
ones
to
be
producing
these
battery
materials.
AN
B
I'm
sitting
on
that
side,
all
right,
I,
don't
see
any
additional
questions.
AL
B
All
right
we
will
up.
Next,
we
have
agenda
item
L.
The

500
million
dollar
investment
in
affordable
housing
throughout
the
state,
using
arpa
state
and
local
fiscal
recovery
funds.
This
is
a
report
that
we've
provided
in
the
past.
Unfortunately,
it's
not
updated.
The
information
that
you
have
so
I
will
give
you
a
verbal
update
on
what
has
transpired.
Since
that
report
was
provided
happy
to
report
that
we
actually
had
our
first
project
closed
last
week.
AP
So
funds
are
actually
going
to
begin
to
move
and
that
was
the
rigid
Sun
Valley
195
unit,
affordable
development
in
Sun
Valley
in
Northern
Nevada,
one
of
the
things
that
really
has
come
to
the
fore
and
and
director
Stevenson
isn't
here
so
hopefully
she's
monitoring
but
I
wanted
to
let
the
group
know
that
we
have
created
a
Synergy
within
the
governor's
finance
office
and
the
group
that
overlooks
the
the
arpa
funds
and
I
can't
thank
enough.
AP
The
group
there
that
Shana
Tilly
has
with
Brenda
Berry
Casey,
Van,
Patten
and
Glenn
Daly
I,
can't
read
my
own
handwriting
and
so
establishing
the
process
of
how
we
are
going
to
actually
receive
funding
and
disperse
funding,
and
so
now
we
have
a
weekly
call
with
gfo
or
as
needed
in
creating
that
that
Synergy
and
they've
been
just
awesome
to
work
with.
So
I
wanted
to
put
that
on
the
record
moving
forward.
We
have
provided
agreements
to
just
about
every
recipient,
and
so
those
Agreements
are
being
worked
through.
AP
I
I
will
say
having
the
first
project
actually
go
over
the
curb
created
some
obstacles
that
we
didn't
anticipate
But.
Ultimately,
we
were
able
to
get
through
those
and
create
sort
of
a
pathway
to
to
get
more
projects
done
so
the
first
one
over
the
curb
is
always
the
the
most
difficult
and
that's
the
the
other
thing
that
I
will
mention.
AP
It
was
brought
up
in
a
previous
committee
meeting
earlier
today
was
the
availability
of
bond
cap
and
that
availability
of
bond
cap
to
the
division
to
support
these
projects
was
actually
a
limiting
factor
in
determining
the
awards.
As
we
went
through
the
preliminary
preliminary
process,
with
some
expanded
Bond
capacity
to
provide
support
to
these
projects,
we
think
we
can
even
do
a
deeper
dive
into
some
of
the
projects
that
didn't
receive
preliminary
Awards.
AP
AC
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
It
was
brought
to
my
attention
that
some
of
the
projects
are
being
constructed
by
developers
from
outside
of
the
state,
and
so
I
was
looking
at
our
package
on
page
315,
and
it
looks
there's
there's
so
many
times,
there's
occasions
in
statute,
where
we
have
a
preference
for
in-state
contractors
or
in-state
manufacturers
or
producers
or
whatever
it
may
be,
but
it
doesn't
look
like
that
was
taken
into
account
when
the
process
was
developed.
The
scoring
system
was
developed.
Is
that
true?
Is
that
accurate.
AP
Steve
acreth
for
the
record.
We
did
not
put
any
limits
on
to
where
the
development
Community
could
come
from
to
apply
for
these
funds.
This
first
project
was
done
through
a
Colorado
development.
The
company
I
think
there's
only
two
that
are
currently
from
out
of
state
right
off
the
top
of
my
head.
