Ms. Robb stated this is a very exciting time for the community that the Commission is in place. She expressed having the privilege to be the Director of the Commission which became effective July 1, 2017. She explained how the Commission replaces the Subcommittee on Communication Services (SOCS) and that the change will allow the group to have a bigger voice about what happens in the state. She emphasized that any work (other than the strategic plan) done under the auspices of SOCS will have to be renegotiated or voted on as the SOCS is no longer in existence. She explained one requirement of the job of a Commissioner is to focus on the Strategic Plan. Bylaws will need to be developed. She stated there were areas of ambiguity within SB 481 related to the duties and responsibilities and how they will answer to the Governor. She also spoke about needing clarity in the language regarding the Director position and define the duties. She stressed that the members must review any materials prior to meetings.

II. Public Comment (No action may be taken upon a matter raised under public comment period unless the matter itself has been specifically included on an agenda as an action item. Please state and spell you name for the record. Public comment may be limited to three minutes per person at the discretion of the chair.)

Joe Adamo asked for clarification on the name of the Commission.Gary Olsen wished the best to the Commission. He thanked several people and legislators for the work they did. Ms. Robb thanked Mr. Olsen for his time and energy to work with the legislators.

III. Present Commission Slate of Officers, Discussion and Elect Chair and Vice-Chair Members (For Possible Action)

Rique Robb, Commission DirectorMs. Robb stated the Governor’s office supported the use of the slate of officers used for the final SOCS meeting. Ms. Robb mentioned there were two nominees for chair, Jeff Beardsley and Eli Schwartz and for vice-chair there were two: Sal Fiorentino and Eli Schwartz. Mr. Beardsley asked to be removed from the slate.

IV. Report and Update from ADSD StaffBetty Hammond, Social Services Program Specialist, ADSD

- Interpreter Pool, PUC Budget, Goals and Objectives for FY 18Tamika Scott, Social Services Program Specialist, ADSD

- Interpreter/CART Registry, LawsMs. Hammond stated the law for the interpreter pool concept passed the legislature; and that ADSD was working on the position descriptions. Ms. Hammond stated that she reported on the budget at the last SOCS meetings. She stated she felt the Commission’s role will be to not only advise ADSD but that the focus will be on the strategic plan and other state agencies which need to be educated about the community. She stated Kevin will present his report and asked that members email her for ideas for the fiscal year 2018.

Ms. Scott congratulated the Commission on becoming one. She stated she looks forward to working with the Commission to determine revisions to the interpreter/CART

laws. She also expressed that interpreters will get mentoring to become more successful.Mr. Schwartz acknowledged that we have a staff interpreter in the North and asked if there is also one in the South. Ms. Scott state we were approved for four interpreters (2 North; 2 South) and there is a possibility that we will have staff interpreters in the South although there is a larger need in the North. Positions have not been posted yet. Mr. Beardsley asked for clarification on the registry and whether the interpreters are all certified or registered. Ms. Scott stated they are all registered based on the qualification requirements as outlined in the law and that if they’re on the website as a registered interpreter then they have met the qualifications. She also stated there is a complaint process in place to investigate providers. Mr. Beardsley asked where one could find the list of registered interpreters on the website. Ms. Scott replied that she needs to research the website, but in the meantime, she can email the list to anyone who needs it. She will also provide updated information about the website to the Commission during the next meeting. Ms. Hammond stated that there is a situation with the registry where interpreters could opt in or opt out to share their information publicly and that many of them are not seeing the checkbox. She stated that she and Ms. Scott will meet with Aithent, the company that helps run the registry, to bring those to question. Mr. Beardsley asked if he could mention a question or comment from the public. Ms. Robb stated that if it is a topic that fits an agenda item then he could bring it up during the discussion, he could discuss it during the public comment section, or he could email it to the staff. Ms. Robb then returned to agenda item III, presented Mr. Eli Schwartz as the chair and Mr. Salvatore Fiorentino as the vice-chair, and turned the meeting over to Mr. Schwartz.

V. Report from Deaf Centers of Nevada (DCN)Kevin Carter, Executive Director of DCN

Mr. Schwartz introduced Mr. Kevin Carter. Mr. Carter publicly thanked Mr. Gary Olsen for all his hard work and for his support in the process. Mr. Carter thinks the Commission will be a wonderful addition to the State of Nevada. He touched on some of the goals and numbers that the DCN achieved in the past year. Their case specialists have seen a wide diversity of cases ranging from immigration, to support with domestic violence, to housing, food and shelter. At one point they had about a 3 to 4 week waiting list due to the overwhelming demand for services. Through word of mouth, and through support from both Gary Olsen and Nevada Hand and Voices, they were able to identify a large segment of families and deaf adults in the community who were previously unidentified but are now connected with the community. Mr. Carter stated that the success from this year was truly due to an effort from many people, such as ADSD, Voc Rehab, Nevada Hands and Voices, NVAD, and the deaf senior group. They currently have over 37 community partners and they have been certified to go directly to domestic violence shelters. They’ve hired the first deaf social worker in the State of Nevada and a case specialist who has a Master’s in social work for some of their more complicated cases. They have seen a 17% jump in cases in the past month and they continually see growth. Their early intervention service will be expanding as well. They are looking for additional grant money to hire two more deaf mentors. They currently have four deaf mentors in the state and their caseload has already hit the level that

they’re comfortable with, which is about 12 families each. They are looking for additional funding because they have a waiting list for the deaf mentor and tutoring program both in the North and the South. Mr. Carter states that the growth in the past year has been humbling. The team in the South have had to double or triple up in rooms, that they’re running out of interview or case rooms, and that they’re now using their board room and offices to see appointments that have been staffed on top of each other as soon as they’re done. Mr. Carter says it has been wonderful to be able to provide that service and it’s wonderful that they’re seeing new deaf adults and families coming into the center. They project that things will continue to grow. They have been averaging 15-18 new clients a month but they could surpass that this month as they’ve had 22 new clients. Mr. Carter recognized his team by saying they are the back bone and the heart and soul of the organization. Last year they saw 1100 new unique clients who had never sought services from the state. They spend anywhere from an hour to two hours with a new client and once the client leaves, the case specialist spends anywhere from an hour and a half to two additional hours doing research. They ended with 34 people that were in the process but they were not yet served, 88 individuals who were awaiting additional services, and 8 whom they were still trying to determine eligibility.Mr. Carter was proud that they could shrink that number down. Hands and Voices had 4 new families that received services and 61 clients who returned for services. They started the month with 4 brand new families and 58 returning families so already they are continuing to grow. Per Mr. Carter, they took 2441 DP calls for the year. They took 3057 phone calls and had 1500 emails. Their total was 7200 contacts for the year and they spend at least 15 or more minutes with each contact. So far, they have outpaced that in the first month and their forecast is that they will end up somewhere around 9500 contacts this year. The phone distribution program distributed 438 pieces of equipment last year. They went out on 101 service calls and they referred clients to other Aging and Disabilities Services that could better assist or support their needs. They ended very strongly in the last 3 to 4 months of distribution with a 63% jump. They ended up distributing around 72 pieces of equipment one month, 63 one month, and 58 another month. Their goal is to make sure that every deaf, hard of hearing, or speech impaired individual in the state has access to the equipment. They have been doing a lot of outreach. They have 6 outreach events in the first quarter in rural areas. They have met with the tribal council and have identified several deaf and hard of hearing individuals. They are putting a huge emphasis in the rural but they are expecting a plateau by next year. Mr. Carter stated that it was an overwhelming year because their bandwidth was too small to handle the demands. DCN did a presentation down South with Voc Rehab and they had to shut it off because they didn’t have enough job developers to take care of the number of referrals that Mr. Fiorentino and his team were sending over. They have since hired two additional full-time job developers in the South and one full-time job developer in the North. Mr. Carter stated that they appreciate all the support from all the different agencies such as Easter Seal, Desert Industries, United Way, etc. With all the collaboration great things have been happening. Mr. Carter stated that this is a great time for the collaboration of the Commission and Deaf Centers to really insure that the services that are needed, that are wanted, and that are deserved are accessible to the deaf, hard of hearing, and speech impaired. Mr. Adams asked what job development entails. Mr. Carter replied that the job developer help clients with preparation, resumes,

dress, and interview skills. They help research for jobs, and they help them apply for jobs. If they get an interview, they accompany the individual to the interview and make sure that communication is accessible. If the client gets the job, they go and work the first three days with that individual at the job site. They spend four hours at the job site for those three days essentially job coaching. They are accessible to the hiring manager and the supervisor so if there are any problems or questions, they have a point a contact. For the first 90 days, they go in every 30 days and they meet with the employee and the hiring manager to recap and make sure everything is going well. After 90 days, they close out the Voc Rehab part but the client is a client for the rest of their life. Therefore, if the client has issues down the road, they can go back in. 90% of their job development cases involve seeing other services but the job developer really is there to help clients navigate the process of finding a job and being a job coach. Ms. Hammond stated that Voc Rehab uses those kinds of services for people who are not deaf. They help people who may need a little bit of extra help getting prepared to find a job, those hard skills and soft skills which are unique because they are specifically designed for deaf and hard of hearing people and their needs. She thanked Mr. Carter for providing that service. Mr. Beardsley stated that it’s important to have a job developer who works with the companies in the community to train them and work with the clients. They must include interpreters as well with the training to ensure that the companies understand what the interpreters’ roles are and to make sure that the companies are comfortable with using interpreting services at staff meetings. Mr. Carter stated that the job coach sits down with the hiring manager and educates them briefly on deaf culture, deaf sensitivity, effective communication, access to communication, and the role of the interpreter. They have a checklist that they go through with the hiring manager so that the hiring manager is informed. Mr. Schwartz asked if they have spoken about diversity in the Las Vegas community and whether they have gone to all the companies to see what their thoughts are about hiring a member of the deaf or hard of hearing community. Mr. Carter replied that they have spoken with several companies that they call their feeders. He gave the example of MGM and how they work with their disabilities and diversity Director to funnel deaf and hard of hearing clients directly to them. Walmart and Smith’s are other companies whom they have been working with as well.

VI. Legislative Update on SB443 and SB481 Betty Hammond, Social Services Program Specialist, ADSD

SB443: Makes an appropriation for the transfer of contracted sign language interpreter positions to state employee positions.SB481: Creates the Nevada Commission for Persons who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing or Speech Impaired.

Ms. Hammond thanked everyone and stated that SB-481 was the result of everyone’s hard work. She stated that she has given each member a folder and that the printouts of the laws are in the section that says Reports. SB 443 is the law that allows ADSD to hire unclassified state employed interpreters. They hope to have positions covered by November or December. Mr. Schwartz stated that he wants everyone to bring their folders to every meeting.

VII. Discussion and Possible Recommendations for the Strategic Plan Workgroup (For Possible Action)

Eli Schwartz, SOCS Strategic Planning Committee ChairMr. Schwartz stated that they hope to achieve the goals for the strategic plan by the end of the fiscal year. He stated that the plan is a living plan that could evolve. He also suggested to members to invite community members who could be helpful with research and projects. Mr. Schwartz went through goals, and assigned members to them. He assigned the following to these members:

1.3.4 Communication Plants/IEPs to Nick Easter and Jason Adams 1.4.2 Track Employment and 1.5.3 Contact private employers to Mr. Fiorentino

and the Deaf Centers of Nevada (DCN) 1.5.1 Taste of Technology to Hamilton Relay and DCN 1.5.2 Additional ASL classes Ms. Hammond noted for the record about whether

to invite Carolyn Preston-Bass to the meeting. Ms. Hammond suggested that once the interpreter training program gets off the ground to ask how they can help satellite those classes here to the north.

1.6.1 Shared advocacy agenda to Identify transportation barriers to Jeff Beardsley and Betty Hammond

o Mr. Fiorentino suggested they could do outreach to the RTC, Regional Transportation Committee. Ms. Hammond stated she could make initial contacts to RTC.

2.1.1 Identify how many interpreters there are in Nevada and what is needed to meet needs to Nick Easter and Jeff Beardsley

2.2.1 Best practice framework for Interpreter Standards to Betty Hammond, Tamika Scott, and Kim Johnson

3.1.1 Resource Guide to Betty Hammond, Jason Adams , and to work with Cheyenne Pasquale

3.2.1 Host community social events to DCN 3.3.1 Advocacy trainings to Jeff Beardsley 3.3.2 Educational Materials to Jeff Beardsley and DCN 3.3.3 Track/monitor government policies to Mike Eifert and Betty Hammond 4.1.1 Advocate for increased resources to the Commission working with 2-1-1

and No Wrong Door (NWD)

Mr. Fiorentino asked how Mr. Schwartz would prefer the report and Mr. Schwartz stated that there are no specific guidelines, he would just like for people to come back and say what they have accomplished and how they met their goal. Mr. Beardsley asked for clarification on whether he could seek outside help as needed and Mr. Schwartz replied that he absolutely can as it’s a community work group. Ms. Robb stated that they cannot add any more Commission members because then it would change their quorum and their open meeting laws, but they can ask other community members. For example, Mr. Adams and Mr. Easter will be working on 1.3.4 but they cannot add another commission member such as Mr. Fiorentino or Mr. Schwartz because then it would be a quorum issue. She stated that their community members, their staff, their non-voting members could help but to be mindful of open meeting laws.

VIII. Discussion and Possible Recommendations on the Commission for Persons who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing or Speech Impaired (For Possible Action)

Betty Hammond, Social Services Program Specialist, ADSDRique Robb, Commission Director

I. Bylaws for the CommissionII. Strategic Plan III. Funding

Ms. Robb stated that the two main focuses for the Commission will be the bylaws, which helps determine what the roles, goals, and objectives, and the strategic plan. She encouraged them to make decisions as a Commission based on the information that each work group brings in. She stated that a work group cannot make decisions; they bring information for the Commission to work on. Ms. Robb recommended that they have a subcommittee to work on bylaws, continue with work groups for strategic plan, but do the main work during the Commission meetings in terms of voting and working. Ms. Hammond stated that in their folders, there is a copy of the current bylaws. She stated that studying other Commissions could be helpful but to keep in mind that there are a lot of Commissions that are funded differently and/or have different tasks and duties. She suggested establishing the bylaws that the Commission wants and then studying other Commissions down the line. Ms. Robb stated that any Commission that’s under ADSD or council has their bylaws posted on the website and are open to the public. Ms. Robb also restated that she has suggested a full subcommittee that would be meeting under open meeting laws and they would be able to take public comments. Mr. Schwartz stated that he will work with Ms. Hammond to schedule it and asked about the ethics and whether it overrides everything. Ms. Robb responded that they have signed a code of ethics from the governor’s office and that they need to start from there. She also advised against the expectation that bylaws can be completed in one meeting because it took several drafts for other Commissions like the CSPD to complete their bylaws. Ms. Robb stated that regarding the strategic plan, her advice would be to ensure that there is adequate time during future Commission meetings to work on it. They would need time to receive reports from the work groups and do the work of each goal that they are working on. Mr. Eifert stated that by his count, they have 12 different groups that are working on bylaws and that he agreed with Ms. Robb. He recommended that they look at how previous agendas were structured and reminded the group that they now report to the governor instead of ADSD. He suggested that a lot of the material be emailed to the group prior to the meetings so they could read it and clear up more time for the strategic plan. Ms. Robb advised the Commission that their structure may change in the coming 6, 9, or 12 months based on how they are able to work on the strategic plan and the bylaws and the implementations of those items. Ms. Hammond stated that in the last go around with the public utilities Commission PUC, they made the decision to increase the surcharge from five cents to seven cents and that will cover the parts of the Commission and it will cover the new positions for the interpreters. She stated that the Commission already has $50,000, which is $25,000 per year over the next biennium and it will cover per diem travel and administrative costs. The Commission will work with ADSD on developing a budget for the Commission.

IX. Discussion and Possible Recommendations for Outreach for Open Membership Positions (For Possible Action)

Eli Schwartz, Nominated Commission ChairMr. Schwartz stated that they may have a candidate already and that they’ll wait for direction from Ms. Robb since positions may be vacated. Ms. Robb stated that they need to be aware of recruitment from a statewide perspective because currently most of the voting members are in the south. She encouraged that the outreach to the new membership be either in the rural or in the northern area and stated that this is also something that the governor’s office had discussed very thoroughly. Mr. Beardsley agreed. Mr. Schwartz reminded everyone that they have criteria for the position and that if Mr. Adams moved to the other position then they would need another parent of a deaf child to fill it. Ms. Robb clarified that she isn’t talking about moving Mr. Adams, she is leaving it the way the governor’s office has it and that there is a user of telecommunication relay service open, as well as someone with experience or an interest in the knowledge of problems of services for the deaf or hard of hearing or speech impaired open. Ms. Robb noted that there was a press release that Mr. Schwartz had wanted for the meeting and recommended that if the Commission chose to, they could ask the public information officer to work with Ms. Hammond to put information together for dissemination. Mr. Eifert stated that he agreed that representation from the north and especially rural areas would be nice. He pointed out that he has seen parents of young children at the DCN in Reno and asked Mr. Carter if it would be possible to put up something like a flyer that speaks about or advertises the openings on the Commission. Mr. Carter replied that the families Mr. Eifert has seen are from Nevada Hands and Voices and that they have been advertising and talking about it. Ms. Hammond noted that in other Commissions such as CSPD, they have interested people attend the meetings and speak to the Commission about why they want to be on the Commission. She asked if that would be possible for this Commission. Ms. Robb stated that she’s spoken to the governor’s office about those types of recommendations and clarified the structure that’s in place for potentially eligible recommendations. She recommended people who are interested to attend the public meetings and make public comments, and to become involved with the work group as members of the public. Then if they’re interested in being on the Commission they can make an informed decision to apply and will already be involved. Mr. Schwartz stated that it is a great idea and to contact Betty if anyone has any recommendations.

X. Discussion and Determination of Agenda Items to be Considered at the Next Meeting (For Possible Action)

Eli Schwartz, Nominated Commission ChairMr. Schwartz stated that agenda items for the next meeting would include: work group, the reports from the work groups, the bylaws, report from the deaf center, and report from the staff. He asked for suggestion and Ms. Hammond pointed out that a suggestion was made for the staff reports to be sent via email to the members and she asked whether that would apply to DCN’s report. Mr. Schwartz stated that even though he wants them to read the reports, he also wants them to have time to question or discuss what they have read. Ms. Robb commented that the agenda will give them a short time frame to discuss DCN’s report but that it wouldn’t be an actual presentation and made sure everyone was comfortable with that.

XI. Update Regarding the Commission Director Position Rique Robb, Commission Director

Ms. Robb stated that it was a surprise but a privilege to be the Director but that it would be her first and her last meeting as Director for this Commission because she would be leaving state service. She stated that the new Commission Director would be Jill Berntson. She noted that there is some confusion in the verbiage in SB-481 regarding the role of the Director and clarified that usually staff has direction from the Commission, not typically the Director. Moving forward with the steady source of funding and a paid Director may cause things to look differently because if they’re a paid Director, then they may have duties that are assigned by the Commission. She stated that they will need to look at having things reworded or changed to clarify the responsibilities once they have worked on the strategic plan and bylaws. Mr. Schwartz asked if it was typical for a Director to direct the Commission and asked whether other Commissions operate this way. Ms. Robb answered that yes, but it’s different everywhere. But that in Nevada, the Commissions do not have Directors. The Commission will have to research what other states do and determine and define the role of their Director. Mr. Schwartz thanked Ms. Robb for her support, direction, and guidance and wished her lots of luck with her new job. Ms. Robb thanked everyone for teaching her what she’s learned in the past couple of years and for allowing her to be a part of this.

XII. Confirm Dates for Future Meeting (For Possible Action)Eli Schwartz, Nominated Commission Chair

Mr. Schwartz stated that the next Commission meeting is in six weeks, on October 11, 2017.

XIII. Public Comment (No action may be taken upon a matter raised under public comment period unless the matter itself has been specifically included on an agenda as an action item. Please state and spell you name for the record. Public comment may be limited to three minutes per person at the discretion of the chair.)

Mr. Schwartz opened it up for public comments and Ms. Lisa Furr with Hamilton Relay had a comment. She congratulated and thanked the Commission for their hard work. She stated that Hamilton has been in discussion with DCN about hosting a town hall meeting and would like to invite the Commission to attend. The town hall will take place in Las Vegas on October 11th and two other big events will happen the same day in the Las Vegas area: The Veterans Stand-Down and the Beauty and Health expo. Mr. Schwartz asked what time the town hall will be and Ms. Furr replied that they have not established a time yet. For those interested in joining, they will make sure to make arrangements which will not conflict with the Commission meeting. Ms. Robb recommended that future meetings start at 9:30am so they have enough time to get all the technology set up and working. Mr. Schwartz agreed. Mr. Eifert commented that this is a great kick-off to the Commission and stated that he will miss Ms. Robb as she was a pleasure to work with. Mr. Olsen commented that it has been a great start and that he’s very excited about the changes happening. He thanked Mr. Carter, Ms. Robb, and Ms. Hammond. He commented that Ms. Hammond has been doing a wonderful job in helping steer things for the betterment of all deaf and hard-of-hearing people, however, he wanted to emphasize one important part regarding the Director: The intention behind that was that the position would eventually become its own

Commission with a full staff of workers and everything in regard to a state position instead of focusing on services, it would focus on state agencies and making the change there. He hopes to see those changes down the road. Mr. Schwartz thanked him for the comment. Mr. Carter thanked Ms. Robb for the journey they’ve been on and thanked everyone that has supported the process.
