1. The governing body of a city which has imposed a fee pursuant to NRS 268.4413 and in which exists a species or subspecies that has been declared endangered or threatened pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, 16 U.S.C. § 1531 et seq., as amended, may by ordinance establish, control, manage and operate or provide money for the establishment, control, management and operation of an area or zone for the preservation of the species or subspecies. In addition, the governing body of the city, in cooperation with the responsible local, state and federal agencies, may encourage in any other manner the preservation of those species or subspecies or any species or subspecies in the city which have been determined by the governing body of the city to be likely to have a significant impact upon the economy and lifestyles of the residents of the city if listed as endangered or threatened, including the expenditure for this purpose of money collected pursuant to NRS 268.4413. The governing body of the city may purchase, sell, exchange or lease real property, personal property, water rights, grazing permits and other interests in such property for this purpose, pursuant to such reasonable regulations as the governing body may establish. If any such property, rights or other interests are purchased from a nonprofit organization, the governing body of the city may reimburse the organization for its cost of acquisition, not to exceed its appraised value, and any interest, carrying costs, direct expenses and reasonable overhead charges.
2. If a fee is imposed pursuant to NRS 268.4413, the governing body of the city may create an enterprise fund exclusively for fees collected pursuant to NRS 268.4413. Any interest or other income earned on the money in the fund, after deducting any applicable charges, must be credited to the fund. The money in the fund may be used to pay the actual direct costs of the program or programs established pursuant to subsection 1.
3. The provisions of this section do not authorize the governing body of a city to take any action that conflicts with any provision of an agreement entered into pursuant to NRS 503.589.
