Staff Summary: NRS 251.030 requires the Chief Financial Officer (for the purpose of the statute acting as the County Auditor) to report to the Board of County Commissioners (or in our case the Board of Supervisors), at each regular meeting thereof, the condition of each fund in the treasury.

If the proceeds of the county tax levy of 1 cent are insufficient to meet the county’s share of the cooperative agricultural extension work, as provided in the combined annual financial budget, the board of county commissioners (in this case the Carson City Board of Supervisors), may by unanimous vote, levy an additional tax so that the total in no instance exceeds 5 cents on each $100 of the county tax rate. The 1.28 cents per $100 assessed valuation ad valorem tax rate requested is the same levy from prior years.
