1. A county whose population is 700,000 or more, and a city within such a county, may adopt an ordinance, in accordance with the provisions of NRS 705.700 , to grant franchises for the installation and operation of monorails within the unincorporated area of the county and incorporated area of the city, respectively. 2. Before beginning construction of a monorail in a city or in the unincorporated area of a county that has adopted a franchising ordinance, the owner shall apply for a franchise. If the city or county has no such ordinance, the owner may enter into an agreement with the city or county that complies with the provisions of NRS 705.700 . Before the city or county may enter into such an agreement, it must provide notice and a public hearing regarding the proposed agreement in the same manner as for an ordinance proposed to be adopted by the city or county under circumstances other than in an emergency. 3. The granting of a franchise or making of an agreement under subsection 2 dispenses with any permit otherwise required by the city or county. The city or county may, at the request of the owner, designate an officer or agency to cooperate with the owner to facilitate the installation and operation of the monorail.
