NE Code § 14-374 (2021)
2021 Nebraska Revised Statutes|Chapter 14 - Cities of the Metropolitan Class|14-374 - City plan; acquisition and disposition of property; public purposes.

14-374.  City plan; acquisition and disposition of property; public purposes.Each city of the metropolitan class shall have the power to acquire by gift, purchase, condemnation, or bequest, such real estate within the corporate limits and within three miles thereof as may be necessary for any public use and may later convey, lease, sell, or otherwise dispose of any real estate thus acquired and not necessary for present use or future development upon such terms as it may deem appropriate. In addition to any other public uses, the following are declared to be for a public purpose and for the public health and welfare: Establishing, laying out, widening, and enlarging waterways, streets, bridges, boulevards, parkways, parks, playgrounds, sites for public buildings, and property for administrative, institutional, educational, and all other public uses, and for reservations in, about, along, or leading to any or all of the same. The powers provided in this section shall be in addition to and not in restriction of any other powers now held by such cities.Source   Laws 1921, c. 116, art. III, § 57b, p. 461;   C.S.1922, § 3612;   C.S.1929, § 14-360;   R.S.1943, § 14-374;   Laws 1959, c. 34, § 2, p. 191. Annotations  A city has the power of eminent domain to acquire real estate for a public use and to later sell portions thereof no longer needed by it. Monarch Chemical Works, Inc. v. City of Omaha, 203 Neb. 33, 277 N.W.2d 423 (1979). A request for injunction is a proper form in which to present the question of unlawful or improper exercise of the power of eminent domain, because the attempt to deprive a private citizen of an estate in his property, if successful, makes the resulting damage irreparable and legal remedies inadequate. Monarch Chemical Works, Inc. v. City of Omaha, 203 Neb. 33, 277 N.W.2d 423 (1979). Cities of the metropolitan class are empowered to acquire real estate by gift. Bowley v. City of Omaha, 181 Neb. 515, 149 N.W.2d 417 (1967). This section has application only to those condemnations within a city plan approved by the city council. Van Patten v. City of Omaha, 167 Neb. 741, 94 N.W.2d 664 (1959).

They shall take into consideration the amount of special benefits, if any, arising from such vacation and shall file their report in writing with the city clerk. Any owner or party interested in property affected by such vacation, who shall file a written protest with such committee, may appeal from the adoption by the council of such appraisers' report in the manner provided in section 14-813, but such appeal shall not stay the passage of the ordinance or resolution vacating such street or alley. The award of appraisers shall be final and conclusive as the order of a court of general jurisdiction, unless appealed from. When the city vacates a street or alley, the city shall, within thirty days after the effective date of the vacation, file a certified copy of the vacating ordinance or resolution with the register of deeds for the county in which the vacated property is located to be indexed against all affected lots.Source   Laws 1921, c. 116, art. III, § 57c, p. 461;   C.S.1922, § 3613;   C.S.1929, § 14-361;   R.S.1943, § 14-375;   Laws 1959, c. 35, § 1, p. 192;   Laws 1961, c. 30, § 3, p. 147;  Laws 2001, LB 483, § 1.

Valasek v. Bernardy, 242 Neb. 398, 495 N.W.2d 275 (1993). Right of appeal is preserved. Hanson v. City of Omaha, 157 Neb. 768, 61 N.W.2d 556 (1953). Vacation of street was not an exercise of power of eminent domain. Hanson v. City of Omaha, 157 Neb. 403, 59 N.W.2d 622 (1953). Before street may be vacated under this section, committee must be appointed to assess damages. Hanson v. City of Omaha, 154 Neb. 72, 46 N.W.2d 896 (1951).

III, § 58, p. 462;   C.S.1922, § 3614;   C.S.1929, § 14-362;   R.S.1943, § 14-376;   Laws 1951, c. 101, § 37, p. 462.
