1. For the purposes of NRS 266.290 and 266.386, a special election may be held only if the city council determines, by a unanimous vote, that an emergency exists. 2. The determination made by the city council is conclusive unless it is shown that the city council acted with fraud or a gross abuse of discretion. An action to challenge the determination made by the city council must be commenced within 15 days after the city council’s determination is final. 3. As used in this section, 'emergency' means any unexpected occurrence or combination of occurrences which requires immediate action by the city council to prevent or mitigate a substantial financial loss to the city or to enable the city council to provide an essential service to the residents of the city.
