§ 548.535. Discontinuance of district on determination that continued operation is not administratively practicable or feasible

1. The Commission shall consider the information and facts presented in the petition

and brought out in any public hearings that may be held and the result of the referendum

if one is held, and shall thereafter determine whether the continued operation of

the district is administratively practicable and feasible. 2. If the Commission determines that the continued operation of such district is administratively

practicable and feasible, the Commission shall record such determination and deny

the petition. The Commission shall not determine that the continued operation of the district

is administratively practicable and feasible unless the number of petitioners comprises

less than a majority of the registered voters in the district or unless at least a

majority of the votes cast in the referendum were cast in favor of the continuance

of such district. 3. If the Commission determines that the continued operation of the district is not

administratively practicable and feasible, the Commission shall record such determination

and shall certify such determination to the supervisors of the district. 4. In making such determination the Commission shall give due regard and weight to: (a) The attitudes of the occupiers of lands lying within the district. (b) The number of eligible registered voters who voted in the referendum. (c) The proportion of petitioners to the total number of land occupiers in the district,

and the proportion of the votes cast in favor of the discontinuance of the district

to the total number of votes cast. (d) The approximate wealth and income of the land occupiers of the district. (e) The probable expense of carrying on erosion-control operations within such district. (f) Such other economic and social factors as may be relevant to such determination,

having due regard to the legislative findings as set forth in NRS 548.095 to 548.113 , inclusive.
