  1. After the adoption of an assessment ordinance in accordance with NRS 271.650, the governing body of a municipality may, except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, enter into an agreement with one or more of the owners of any interest in property within the improvement district, pursuant to which that owner would agree to make payments to the municipality or to another local government that provides services in the improvement district, or to both, to defray, in whole or in part, the cost of local governmental services during the term of the pledge authorized pursuant to subsection 1 of NRS 271.650. Such an agreement must specify the amount to be paid by the owner of the property interest, which may be stated as a particular amount per year or as an amount based upon any formula upon which the municipality and owner agree.  2. The governing body of a municipality shall not enter into an agreement pursuant to subsection 1 unless the governing body determines that the project and the assessment of property within the improvement district will not have a positive fiscal effect on the provision of local governmental services, after considering:  (a) The amount of the proceeds of all taxes and other governmental revenue projected to be received as a result of the properties and businesses expected to be located in the improvement district;  (b) The use of the amounts pledged pursuant to subsection 1 of NRS 271.650; and  (c) Any increase in costs for the provision of local governmental services, including, without limitation, services for police protection and fire protection, as a result of the project and the development of land within the improvement district.  3. Before making any determination pursuant to subsection 2, the governing body of a municipality shall provide to the board of trustees of the school district in which the improvement district is located, at least 45 days before making the determination:  (a) Written notice of the time and place of the meeting at which the governing body will consider making the determination; and  (b) Each analysis prepared by or for or presented to the governing body regarding the fiscal effect of the project and the pledge authorized pursuant to NRS 271.650 on the provision of local governmental services, including education.  After the receipt of that notice and before the date of that meeting of the governing body of the municipality, the board of trustees shall conduct a hearing regarding the fiscal effect, if any, of the project and the pledge authorized pursuant to NRS 271.650 on the school district, and submit to the governing body any comments regarding that fiscal effect. The governing body shall consider those comments when making any determination pursuant to subsection 2 and may consider those comments when determining the terms of any agreement pursuant to subsection 1.  4. Any determination made pursuant to subsection 2 is conclusive in the absence of fraud or gross abuse of discretion.  (Added to NRS by 2003, 2934)
