Emailed Message from Director Cates to Announce Office Moves

Governor's Finance Office and Dept of Admin Director's Office separate office locations

- November 20, 2015

Hello Nevada State Employees,

As a reminder, the 2015 Legislature passed Assembly Bill 469 to create a new Office of Finance in the Governor’s Office effective July 1, 2015. The new office is comprised of the Budget Division and Internal Audits Division which were previously in the Department of Administration. Pulling fiscal services out of the Department of Administration and elevating this work to the Governor’s oversight level, enhances the capability to ensure fiscal soundness, prudence and efficiencies for all state government agencies. The Governor’s Finance Office (GFO), led by Director Jim Wells, remains in the same location as the previous Budget Office at 209 E. Musser Street, Suite 200, Carson City, and retains the phone number (775) 684-0222.

As the Director of the Department of Administration (D of A), I want to establish a distinctive and autonomous identity for the Department and so made the decision to move the D of A Director’s Office out of the Budget Office and down the street to a new location joining our Purchasing Division on the third floor of 515 E. Musser Street. This is an important move which helps us separate from GFO and allows us to fully focus on the 9 Divisions and 2 Offices that comprise the Department of Administration.

During this initial transition period, please be mindful to use the complete physical address “D of A, Director’s Office, 515 E. Musser St, Suite 300, Carson City, NV 89701” when sending us mail. For your convenience, the Director’s Office can be reached by phone and email as follows: (775) 684-0299; DeptAdmin@admin.nv.gov

In addition to the Director’s Office move, the Office of Grant Procurement, Coordination and Management is moving. Starting Monday, Nov. 23, the Grants Office will be in their new location at 406 E. Second St., Suite 100. This is the historic two-story stone brick building commonly referred to as the Armory. Please be sure to address mail to their new office location rather than the Budget Office. Their phone numbers and emails remain the same: (775) 684-0210 or (775) 684-0252; grants@ofa.nv.gov.

We trust you will see greater efficiencies and improved customer service from these changes in the months ahead. In the meantime, if you have thoughts on ways our agencies can improve its services, please share them. If you prefer, you can share them anonymously using our online feedback form: http://admin.nv.gov/Feedback/

Thank you,
Patrick
