Does The District Furnish And Charge For “Central Services?”
Yes it does!
As stated elsewhere, every year when the District’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) approves a budget for the forthcoming year, it adopts1 an updated Central Service Cost Allocation Plan”2 which provides for payment via transfers from its Utility, Community Services and Beach enterprise funds to its General Fund3 for an alleged “equitable distribution of general, overhead, administrative and similar costs (assigned by staff to the)…District’s General Fund4…in conformity with…Nevada Revised Statute Section(s) 354.107(1)5 and 354.613(1)(c)6.” For an example of the type of “Plan” the Board adopts, and the charges it transfers to the General Fund, the reader is directed to the District’s 2024-25 Plan7.
