Section 271.3695 - Special assessment for extraordinary maintenance, repair and improvement of project located in redevelopment area in certain counties1. In a county whose population is 100,000 or more, on or before June 30 of each year after the levy of an assessment within an improvement district located in a redevelopment area selected pursuant to NRS 279.524 to pay, in whole or in part, the costs and expenses of constructing or substantially reconstructing a project, the governing body may prepare and approve an estimate of the expenditures required during the ensuing year for the extraordinary maintenance, repair and improvement of the project.2. The governing body may adopt a resolution, after a public hearing, determining to levy and collect in any year upon and against all of the assessable property within the district a special assessment sufficient to raise a sum of money not to exceed the amount estimated pursuant to subsection 1 for the extraordinary maintenance, repair and improvement of the project. Notice of the hearing must be given, and the hearing conducted, in the manner specified in NRS 271.305.3. The special assessment must be levied, collected and enforced at the same time, in the same manner, by the same officers and with the same interest and penalties as other special assessments levied pursuant to this chapter. The proceeds of the assessment must be placed in a separate fund of the municipality and expended only for the extraordinary maintenance, repair or improvement of the project.4. As used in this section, "extraordinary maintenance, repair and improvement" includes all expenses ordinarily incurred not more than once every 5 years to keep the project in a fit operating condition. Expenses which are ordinarily incurred more than once every 5 years may be included only if the governing body expressly finds that the expenses must be incurred in order to maintain the level of benefit to the assessed parcels and that the level of benefit would otherwise decline more rapidly than usual because of special circumstances relating to the project for which the assessment is levied, including its use, location or operation and other circumstances. If the governing body makes such a finding, a statement of that finding must be included in the notice given pursuant to subsection 2.Added to NRS by 1987, 1682; A 1989, 1916; 2011, 1169; 2015, 153Amended by 2015, Ch. 31,§15, eff. 7/1/2015.Added to NRS by 1987, 1682; A 1989, 1916; 2011, 1169
