NV Rev Stat § 360.730 (2021)
2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 360 - General Provisions|NRS 360.730 - Establishment of alternative formula for distribution of taxes in Account by cooperative agreement.

  1. The governing bodies of two or more local governments or special districts, or any combination thereof, may, pursuant to the provisions of NRS 277.045, enter into a cooperative agreement that sets forth an alternative formula for the distribution of the taxes included in the Account to the local governments or special districts which are parties to the agreement. The governing bodies of each local government or special district that is a party to the agreement must approve the alternative formula by majority vote.   2. If a person who is authorized to make administrative decisions regarding cooperative agreements on behalf of a local government or special district anticipates that the local government or special district will enter into a cooperative agreement pursuant to subsection 1, a notice of intent must be provided to the Department on or before March 1 of the initial year of distribution that will be governed by the cooperative agreement. The notice:  (a) May be submitted by the authorized person without a vote of the governing body of the local government or special district;  (b) Must be submitted on a form prescribed by the Department and, to the extent possible, be accompanied by an explanation of the provisions anticipated to be included in the cooperative agreement; and  (c) Is not binding on the local government or special district on whose behalf it is submitted, and does not prevent the local government or special district from negotiating or entering into a cooperative agreement after March 1 of the initial year of distribution that will be governed by the cooperative agreement.  3. The county clerk of a county in which a local government or special district that is a party to a cooperative agreement pursuant to subsection 1 is located shall transmit a copy of the cooperative agreement to the Executive Director:   (a) Within 10 days after the agreement is approved by each of the governing bodies of the local governments or special districts that are parties to the agreement; and   (b) Not later than April 1 of the initial year of distribution that will be governed by the cooperative agreement.  4. The governing bodies of two or more local governments or special districts shall not enter into more than one cooperative agreement pursuant to subsection 1 that involves the same local governments or special districts.  5. If at least two cooperative agreements exist among the local governments and special districts that are located in the same county, the Executive Director shall ensure that the terms of those cooperative agreements do not conflict.  6. Any local government or special district that is not a party to a cooperative agreement pursuant to subsection 1 must continue to receive money from the Account pursuant to the provisions of NRS 360.680 and 360.690.  7. The governing bodies of the local governments and special districts that have entered into a cooperative agreement pursuant to subsection 1 may, by majority vote, amend the terms of the agreement. The governing bodies shall not amend the terms of a cooperative agreement more than once during the first 2 years after the cooperative agreement is effective and once every year thereafter, unless the Committee on Local Government Finance approves the amendment. The provisions of this subsection do not apply to any interlocal agreements for the consolidation of governmental services entered into by local governments or special districts pursuant to the provisions of NRS 277.080 to 277.180, inclusive, that do not relate to the distribution of taxes included in the Account.  8. A cooperative agreement executed pursuant to this section may not be terminated unless the governing body of each local government or special district that is a party to a cooperative agreement pursuant to subsection 1 agrees to terminate the agreement.   9. For each fiscal year the cooperative agreement is in effect, the Executive Director shall continue to calculate the amount each local government or special district that is a party to a cooperative agreement pursuant to subsection 1 would receive pursuant to the provisions of NRS 360.680 and 360.690.  10. If the governing bodies of the local governments or special districts that are parties to a cooperative agreement terminate the agreement pursuant to subsection 8, the Executive Director must distribute to those local governments or special districts an amount equal to the amount the local government or special district would have received pursuant to the provisions of NRS 360.680 and 360.690 according to the calculations performed pursuant to subsection 9.
