Board staff presented an informational item from the Clerk of the Boards of Contracts listing 62 contracts in the $10,000–$99,999 threshold approved by the Clerk between Feb. 15 and March 14, 2025; the board received the item as informational and did not take action on those clerk-approved contracts.

The Governor’s Finance Office Budget Division presented a reconciled fund-balance report pursuant to NRS chapter 353 with approximate balances listed in the meeting record: tort claim fund approximately $2,300,000; statutory contingency account $1,047,144.59; stale claims account approximately $1,100,000; emergency account $500,000; disaster relief account approximately $13,700,000; IFC contingency unrestricted general fund approximately $12,100,000; IFC contingency unrestricted highway fund approximately $1,600,000; IFC contingency restricted general fund approximately $113,800,000; IFC contingency restricted highway fund approximately $18,800,000; extradition coordinator budget account $100,276,000. Board members asked no follow-up questions during the informational presentation.

Motions to approve the minutes, leases and the master service agreement were made and passed by voice vote.

Governor's staff identified contract number 8 as a support contract with RFI Enterprises to provide continued equipment and services to the Office of Cyber and Information (OCIO). A contracting representative identified in the meeting as Jack Rob told the board RFI has been a contractor for years but “we've had continued delays in getting stuff done,” and said future larger construction or new-build procurement will be handled by Public Works under NRS chapter 338, while statewide purchasing under NRS chapter 333 will continue to cover contracts like the present support agreement. Rob said this contract is a statewide contract under the purchasing rules and that larger work will be routed to Public Works going forward.

Board members also requested explanation for contracts 11–13, which appeared on the agenda with a $0 contract amount. Stacy Weeks, introduced in the meeting as a state staff member involved with the program, said the three agreements are with participating health carriers for the state's public-option products. She told the board the Battle Born Plans “do not have any cost to the state, but there is an amount tied to these contracts of 320,000,000 in federal funding for the waiver that you submitted … because our waiver was approved January 15 by the federal government.” Weeks said the products will be available for shopping in October, with coverage effective Jan. 1, 2026, and that the contracts are presented as agreements rather than dollar-value purchases because the state is approving the terms of the agreements, not a state-funded payment amount.

Weeks and board staff explained the federal funding referenced reflects anticipated capture of premium tax credits under the state's approved 1332 waiver and that the contractual terms require carriers to meet targets regardless of the federal amount ultimately realized; staff said carriers must reflect part of the premium reductions in areas other than provider rates (for example, overhead and profits). A motion to approve all 31 contracts was made and passed by voice vote.

The meeting record does not include a full contract-by-contract presentation in the public session; board staff said some details pertain to procurement statutes and the Comptroller’s or Public Works' roles in different procurement tracks.","The Board approved 31 contracts, including a continuing support contract for RFI Enterprises and three zero-dollar contracts with health carriers for the 'Battle Born State Plans' tied to an anticipated $320 million federal premium tax-credit capture under a 1332 waiver; Jack Rob and Stacy Weeks answered member questions.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6074960,"Board approves $30.35 million in salary adjustments under legislature appropriation",96,747000,843000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2980223-e8f36f4f983129cd4c8a9fd43abdeb6b&start=747&end=843","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2980223-e8f36f4f983129cd4c8a9fd43abdeb6b/thumbnail_747000.jpg","/articles/6074960/Nevada/Board-approves-3035-million-in-salary-adjustments-under-legislature-appropriation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6074960-63e4feeba99d09662de1daa5f20cde6d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771150776&Signature=LA2iY-wwQP~emXfcqw3Ba7DlyXwqXoweiVfK3iIPGLFeCvUCNpsGRzBiCjnSyh61Oy8~afa5AKUD-WNgSdh5WzLo4s~KN7fkTtdfGKeBTDO~1kSWQUcD7MupIHZqow8bviyt0mfvmjnQIsg1Rr8lmIgeT~Z2XkUBH1fa8cEjKH4psiHJ9zfbgTnJlU5y8DNkVbybP9WRJMMQEJMbewtSEDNALbQTdUbiytbEWXoYJCS217PnuEli10JRx67~EBbqCqd7V1ndRtkulicKryizyuQvIsh60cWDfwJjaCJ4dTgR-54p4Dl~Pw6T10nEZglgYQm7ygloUG5ePRkv86wncg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The State of Nevada Board of Examiners approved on April 8 the allocation and disbursement of funds to cover personnel salary deficiencies across multiple state entities, citing an appropriation made by the 2023 Legislature in Assembly Bill 522.

Requests labeled A through G seek $28,897,546 for salary increases; requests H through L seek $1,450,787 to fund continuity-of-service payments that encourage staff retention. Board staff described the authority to allocate the funds as granted to the Board of Examiners upon recommendation of the Director of the Governor’s Finance Office, consistent with the language staff read from the agenda.

No members asked substantive questions about individual requests during the meeting, and a motion to approve the package was made and passed by voice vote.

The designation moves the balances the division and the Comptroller’s Office determined to be uncollectible off the state’s active receivables. Victoria Carreon, identified in the meeting as Administrator of the Division of Industrial Relations, told the board the division initially attempts collection and then refers delinquent accounts to the Comptroller’s Office, which “utilize[s] a collections agency” to pursue recovery and has determined the listed debts are not collectible.

Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar pressed staff for additional detail on collection efforts and whether liens or legal actions are pursued, saying, “Just wondering what efforts were made to collect this revenue or this money?” Carreon replied that the division sends demand letters and follows up by phone before referral to the Comptroller. Board staff said the division itself does not initiate legal action but deferred to the Comptroller’s Office for the full scope of collection procedures.

General counsel and other board members said similar questions had been raised previously and noted many accounts involve businesses that have gone out of business, which limits recovery options. A board member offered to follow up with the Comptroller’s Office for a written explanation of collection practices.

A motion to approve the designation was called and passed; members voting orally signified “aye.” The board did not provide a detailed itemized list of the individual accounts during the public meeting.

The action was recorded as requested by the Division of Industrial Relations pursuant to NRS 232.605.","The Board approved a request under NRS 232.605 to write off $2,888,777.19 as uncollectible debt referred by the Division of Industrial Relations; Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar pressed staff on collection steps and legal options.","actionData","errors"]
