Copy as parenthetical citation

Except as otherwise provided in NRS 244.2731, the board of county commissioners of each county may authorize the use of county highway patrols and snowplows on private roads if:

1. The board declares an emergency; or

2. The board deems such use to be in the best interest of the county in the absence of a contractor that is licensed to perform the work. The board shall not deem such use to be in the best interest of the county unless:

(a) The equipment is being used for routine county business in the area where the private roads are located; and

(b) The use of the equipment on private roads does not interfere with the normal operations of the county.

If the board authorizes the use of a county highway patrol or snowplow on a private road pursuant to this section, the equipment must be operated by an employee of the county. The board may require the owner of the road to pay the county the prevailing rental rate for the use of such equipment.
