General powers.


In addition to any other powers, each county has the following powers:

1.

To finance or acquire, whether by construction, purchase, gift, devise, lease or sublease or any one or more of such methods, and to improve and equip one or more projects or parts thereof, which except as otherwise provided in this subsection must be located within this state, and which may be located within or partially within that county. If a project is for the generation and transmission of electricity and the county deems it necessary:

(a)

To connect the project with facilities located outside this state, transmitting facilities necessary for that interconnection may be located outside this state, but financing for those transmitting facilities must be limited to the amount necessary to interconnect the project with the nearest compatible transmitting facility of the participant in the project with which the connection is to be made.

(b)

To acquire or develop fuel or water or rights thereto, or to transport fuel or water from outside the county or State, the necessary facilities, fuel, water or rights thereto may be located wholly outside the county or outside the State.
Ê Any water rights for such a project to be obtained by appropriation may only be appropriated within the boundaries of the county within which the generating facility is located, unless the board of county commissioners of another county approves the appropriation within its boundaries for that purpose.

2.

To finance, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any or all its projects upon such terms and conditions as the board considers advisable.

3.

To issue revenue bonds for the purpose of financing or defraying all or any portion of the cost of acquiring, improving and equipping any project as set forth in NRS 244A.737.

4.

To secure payment of such bonds as provided in NRS 244A.669 to 244A.763, inclusive.

5.

If a project is for the generation and transmission of electricity, to own the project in its entirety or an undivided interest in the project with one or more other owners, and to enter into agreements with respect to any matters relating to common ownership of the project, including, without limitation, matters relating to the ownership, acquisition, construction, improvement, equipping, financing, operation and maintenance of the project.

6.

To take such actions as are necessary or useful in order to undertake, carry out, accomplish and otherwise carry out the provisions of NRS 244A.669 to 244A.763, inclusive, including the adoption of resolutions, which may be introduced and adopted at the same special or regular meeting of the board and which become effective upon adoption unless otherwise specified in the resolution.
