§ 803. Procedures for eminent domain authority

In all proceedings under this charter for taking land, rights, or property, the trustees shall pass upon the convenience and necessity for the taking at hearings held by them after giving notice to each owner or interested person of the time, place, and purpose of the hearing. The notice shall give a description of the land, property, or rights to be taken and used. At the hearing, the trustees shall determine the question of convenience and necessity and decide the question of damages and shall pay or tender the amount of the damages to the person or persons entitled to the same, in the same manner as is provided by law for selectboards in taking lands for highways and in awarding damages. A person aggrieved by any act of the trustees in the taking of lands, rights, or property for the foregoing purposes and in the awarding of damages may have the same right of appeal, and in the case of an appeal, proceedings shall be had in the same manner as is provided for appeals from acts of selectboards in taking land and awarding damages for highway purposes. (Amended 2023, No. 6, § 269, eff. July 1, 2023.)
