§ 15.01.060. Approval of list of appraisers, appeal and judicial review.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    The initial lists prepared by the director as set forth in section 15.01.050, shall be presented to city council for approval. Each year after initial approval, the lists shall be randomly reorganized and the names thereon rotated by the director.

    (b)

    After approval by city council of the initial list, the following procedures must be complied with to request placement on a list. The appraiser may be added to the bottom of any list at any time if the appraiser completes the application form and demonstrates to the director that the appraiser is qualified to act as a general appraiser in Washoe County and meets the minimum qualifications set forth in section 15.01.040, above. If the director declines to add the appraiser to a list, the director will notify the appraiser of this decision by mail. The appraiser may appeal that decision to a hearing officer pursuant to section 15.01.070(b), below.

    (c)

    If an appraiser who is not added to a list desires to appeal the decision of the director to the hearing officer, the appraiser shall file a notice of such intent with the city clerk within ten business days from the date of the director's notice declining to add the appraiser to a list and comply with the applicable provisions of Chapter 1.05 of the Reno Municipal Code. The city clerk shall place such appeal on the hearing officer's agenda for a hearing. If this deadline is not complied with by the appraiser, the director's decision shall be final and there shall be no further review of such decision.

    (d)

    The hearing officer shall have the power to determine if the director's decision complies with the provisions of this chapter and to affirm, reverse or modify the appealed decision. The hearing officer's review shall be of the appraiser's application and record considered by the director. The decision of the hearing officer is a final decision for purposes of judicial review.

    (e)

    Judicial review may be sought in accordance with Chapter 34 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.
