(2)
The commission may:
(a) Make such preliminary investigations and do such preliminary work as
should, in its judgment, precede the actual construction of the building or
improvement.
(b) Determine upon a proper site for the building or improvement. If the city
owns a public building, that site, as it exists or as enlarged by the
acquisition of adjacent property recommended by the commission, shall
be used unless the commission determines that it is unsuitable for the
purpose and recommends to the mayor the acquisition of another site.
The mayor shall submit the recommendation to the legislative body for
approval. The new site shall be adopted only upon the approval of the
change by legislative resolution approved by the mayor. In the event the
existing building on the old site is to be abandoned, the old site may be
sold and the proceeds applied to the purchase of the new site.
(c) Provide accommodations for patients or inmates of the existing public
building while the new building is in course of erection and furnishing. The
legislative body may, out of its levy for the department having supervision
of such buildings, assume the whole or part of the expense of providing
such temporary accommodations.
(d) Establish and enforce reasonable rules and regulations for its own
government and for the supervision, protection, management and conduct
of its work and the payment therefor as it deems expedient.
(e) Purchase, hire or otherwise obtain the use of such lands, buildings,
machinery, supplies, materials and working agencies as it needs for its
purposes.
(f) Acquire by gift, purchase, lease or condemnation, any property situated
within the city or county where the city is located, or any interest or
privilege in the property, required for the building or improvement. The
method of condemnation shall be the same as in the Eminent Domain Act
of Kentucky.
The enumeration of special powers in this section does not restrict the general
powers of the commission to carry out the purposes of KRS 98.040 to 98.170.
