NRS 540A.262 Prerequisites to determining, expanding or amending boundaries of district for remediation: Hearing; publication of notice of hearing; adoption of ordinance; certain bonds or financial obligations paid in full; territory not required to be contiguous.
1. Before determining the boundaries of a district for remediation, the board shall hold a hearing. It shall cause notice of the hearing to be published at least once not less than 15 days before the hearing in a display advertisement at least 3 by 5 inches in size in a newspaper of general circulation in the county. The notice must contain a description of the boundaries of the district by assessor’s parcel number, or by metes and bounds or other legal description, or state that a description of the boundaries of the district is on file at the office of the county clerk for public examination.
2. After the hearing, the board shall make such adjustments to the proposed boundaries of the district as appear to the board to be necessary, but the boundaries may not be expanded to include any property not included in the proposed boundaries of the district described in the notice of hearing or filed with the county clerk unless another hearing is held, after notice given by publication in the manner provided in subsection 1. After the hearing and any adjustment to the boundaries of the district required by this section, the board shall designate the boundaries of the district by ordinance, which may not be adopted as if an emergency existed.
3. The board may from time to time amend the boundaries of the district. Any such amendment must be made by ordinance adopted after a hearing held in the manner provided in subsection 1. Notice of that hearing must be given by publication in the manner provided in subsection 1. The board may not amend the boundaries of the district to exclude any property if bonds have been issued or other financial obligations incurred for the district until those bonds or other financial obligations have been paid in full.
4. The territory of the district established pursuant to subsection 2 and, if applicable, expanded pursuant to subsection 3 need not be contiguous.
