At its May 12 meeting the State Board of Examiners approved a slate of routine and grouped items, conducting voice votes to carry motions on minutes, purchases, contracts and other actions.
Minutes and routine approvals: The board approved the April 7, 2026 meeting minutes and a Department of Veterans Services request to purchase one state vehicle (not to exceed $39,015). A grouped motion approved four requests to contract with current or former state employees, covering behavioral-health training and motorcycle-safety instruction, and a former employee providing training and fiscal-advisor services.
Tort settlement and contingency reimbursement: The Attorney General’s office presented a tort claim settlement for claimant Miguel Parra in the amount of $165,000 pursuant to NRS 41.036; the board approved the payment by voice vote. The Secretary of State requested $66,531 from the statutory contingency account to reimburse counties and cities for per diem, allowances and travel expenses for election-procedures training; the board approved that allocation.
Contracts and master service agreements: The board approved 56 proposed contracts (agenda item 10) and 33 master service agreements (agenda item 11) by grouped motions and voice votes. A subsequent informational report noted the Clerk of the Board of Contracts approved 126 contracts in the $10,000–$99,999 range between March 13 and April 10, 2026.
Financial reports and informational items: The Governor’s Finance Office presented reconciled fund balances as of April 10, 2026, listing figures for the Tort Claim Fund (~$1.4M), Statutory Contingency (~$3.4M), Stale Claims (~$2.4M), Emergency (~$370,000), Disaster Relief (~$16.6M) and other contingency accounts. The Department of Motor Vehicles presented a Complete Streets Program certification of voluntary contributions for Jan. 1–Mar. 31, 2026; both items were informational and received no follow-up questions.
Public comment and adjournment: No public comments were received during either public-comment period. The board adjourned following a motion and voice vote.
Votes at a glance: All listed motions in the transcript were carried by voice vote; the transcript records group affirmations (“I”) but does not record individual roll-call tallies for each motion.
What happens next: Approved contracts and authorizations will proceed under the departments and contracts as approved; the transcript does not record additional follow-up deadlines or reporting requirements attached to the grouped approvals.
