Whenever a reasonable price cannot be agreed upon, the commission may
condemn any property necessary or convenient for the improvement or the
efficient operation of any property acquired or constructed under KRS 181.560
to 181.840, or for the purpose of constructing any bridge or portion of bridge, or
for securing a right-of-way leading to the bridge or its approaches, in the
manner provided in the Eminent Domain Act of Kentucky.
The commission may also exercise in Kentucky and adjoining states such
powers of eminent domain as are conferred upon the city or commission by
any Act of Congress.
Title to any property condemned by the commission shall be taken in the name
of the city. The city shall be under no obligation to accept and pay for any
property condemned, or any costs incidental to any condemnation
proceedings, and shall in no event pay for property condemned or the cost of
the proceedings except from the funds received under the provisions of KRS
181.560 to 181.840.
The court having jurisdiction of the condemnation proceedings may make such
orders as may be just to the city and to the owners of the property to be
condemned, and may require a bond or other security to secure the owners
against any loss or damage to be sustained by reason of the failure of the city
to accept and pay for the property. The bond or security shall impose no
liability upon the city, except such as may be paid from the funds received
under KRS 181.560 to 181.840.
