EMINENT DOMAIN MOTION LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS
Mayor and Council:
The Texas Government Code §2206.053 has very specific requirements for the motion to authorize eminent domain proceedings. In order to make certain that we comply with these statutory requirements, I recommend that the motion to adopt the resolution be read aloud as follows:
"I move that the City Council approve this resolution which authorizes the use of the power of eminent domain to acquire fee title to the following parcel of land for construction of proposed improvements to the University Blvd. project: a 0.016-acre tract from property owned by Waltrust Properties, Inc., as described in Exhibit A of the resolution.
