Chapter 350 - Municipal Obligations
NRS 350.087 - Resolution authorizing medium-term obligation or installment-purchase agreement: Adoption; contents; notice.

1. If the public interest requires a medium-term obligation or installment-purchase agreement, the governing body of any local government, by a resolution adopted by two-thirds of its members, may authorize a medium-term obligation or installment-purchase agreement. For the purposes of the issuance of a medium-term obligation pursuant to NRS 280.266, a metropolitan police committee on fiscal affairs shall be deemed the governing body of a local government.
2. The resolution must contain:
(a) A finding by the governing body that the public interest requires the medium-term obligation or installment-purchase agreement;
(b) A statement of the facts upon which the finding required pursuant to paragraph (a) is based;
(c) A statement that identifies:
(1) Each source of revenue of the local government that is anticipated to be used to repay the medium-term obligation or installment-purchase agreement; and
(2) The dollar amount that is anticipated to be available to repay the medium-term obligation or installment-purchase agreement from each such source; and
(d) If the resolution is for an installment-purchase agreement with a term of more than 10 years:
(1) A statement comparing the cost of installment-purchase financing with other available methods of financing, including, without limitation, financing with general obligation bonds or revenue bonds; and
(2) If such statement concludes that installment-purchase financing is more expensive than other available methods of financing, a statement explaining the reasons for choosing installment-purchase financing instead of a less expensive alternative.
3. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, before the adoption of any such resolution, the governing body shall publish notice of its intention to act thereon in a newspaper of general circulation for at least one publication. No vote may be taken upon the resolution until 10 days after the publication of the notice. The cost of publication of the notice required of an entity is a proper charge against its general fund.
4. If such a resolution will be adopted by a metropolitan police committee on fiscal affairs, the sheriff of the county in which the metropolitan police department is located shall publish the notice required pursuant to subsection 3.
