IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

IN THE MATTER OF THE PETITION No. 69820 OF NANCY NOLETTE.

NANCY NOLETTE, Appellant, vs. THE CITY OF BOULDER CITY, MED Respondent. MAR 2 2017 ARomi lEhisuRyn

ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying a petition for declaratory relief, in which petitioner challenged the validity of a ballot question. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Linda Marie Bell, Judge. Having considered the parties' briefs and the record, we agree with the district court's reasoning and affirm the district court's order in this matter. In particular, nothing in section 143 of the Boulder City Charter prohibits Boulder City from seeking the voters' authorization for a continuing authorization for the expenditure of a set amount of funds from the City's capital improvement fund. The ballot question also meets the
