§ 244A.785. Creation in certain counties; boundaries

1. The board of county commissioners of a county whose population is 700,000 or more

may, by ordinance, create one or more districts within the unincorporated area of

the county for the support of public parks. Such a district may include territory within the boundary of an incorporated city

if so provided by interlocal agreement between the county and the city. 2. The ordinance creating a district must specify its boundaries. The area included within the district may be contiguous or noncontiguous. The boundaries set by the ordinance are not affected by later annexations to or

incorporation of a city. 3. The alteration of the boundaries of such a district may be initiated by: (a) A petition proposed unanimously by the owners of the property which is located

in the proposed area which was not previously included in the district; or (b) A resolution adopted by the board of county commissioners on its own motion. If the board of county commissioners proposes on its own motion to alter the boundaries

of a district for the support of public parks, it shall, at the next primary or general

election, submit to the registered voters who reside in the proposed area which was

not previously included in the district, the question of whether the boundaries of

the district shall be altered. If a majority of the voters approve the question, the board shall, by ordinance,

alter the boundaries of the district as approved by the voters. 4. The sample ballot required to be distributed pursuant to NRS 293.565 must include for the question described in subsection 3, a disclosure of any future

increase or decrease in costs which may be reasonably anticipated in relation to the

purposes of the district for the support of public parks and its probable effect on

the district's tax rate.
