Statute Text
Municipal acquisition of property for airports.
Private property, or any interest
therein of whatever kind, and an easement for the operation of aircraft and all
operations incidental thereto, to and from the property for the purposes
specified in ORS 836.200, may be acquired by any municipality, by gift, grant,
purchase, lease or contract, if the municipality is able to agree with the
property owners on the terms of acquisition. If the municipality and the
property owners are unable to agree upon terms, private property may be
acquired by condemnation in the manner provided in ORS chapter 35. As an
alternative, the municipality, if a port, may condemn the private property, or
any interest therein, for the operation of aircraft and all operations
incidental thereto, in the same manner and procedure as is provided by statute
for condemnation of property by corporations organized for construction and
operation of railroads. [Formerly 492.340; 2001 c.104 §319]
