§ 1182. Acquisition of lands. The city shall have the power to acquire   by  purchase or eminent domain proceedings either the fee or such right,   title, interest or easement in such lands  as  the  authority  may  deem   necessary  for  any  of  the  purposes  mentioned in this title, whether   within or without the city, and such lands or interest in such lands may   be so acquired whether or not the same are owned or held for public  use   by  corporations,  associations  or  persons having the power of eminent   domain or otherwise held or used for public  purposes,  including  lands   held  or  used  for  cemetery  purposes.  Whenever  the  authority shall   determine by resolution and certify to the common council  of  the  city   that  it  is  necessary  to  acquire  the  fee  of or such right, title,   interest or easement as shall be specified in such  resolution,  in  any   lands  for  any  of  the  purposes mentioned in this title, the city may   purchase such lands or the common council may pass a resolution that  it   has  so  determined to take such lands describing them and the estate to   be  taken  therein.  Upon  such  resolution  becoming  of   force,   the   corporation  counsel  of  the  city shall proceed as directed by section   three hundred and seventy-four of the charter and all of the proceedings   had subsequent to the adoption of such resolution of  determination  for   the  acquisition of such lands shall be in the manner prescribed by such   section three  hundred  and  seventy-four  and  subsequent  sections  of   article twenty-one of the charter, provided that it shall be unnecessary   for  the  board  of  assessors  of the city to certify and report to the   common council the district benefited  and  assessed  therefor,  nor  to   adopt a resolution of intention or publish the same, and provided that a   resolution  as  provided  for by section three hundred and eighty-one of   the  charter,  directing  the  corporation  counsel  to  apply  for  the   confirmation  of  the  whole  or  any  part  of  the  decision  in  such   proceedings, may be adopted without the certificate  mentioned  in  such   section, that funds have been appropriated or are available; and further   provided that the provision of such section relative to the providing of   funds  shall  not  apply  to the proceeding or proceedings authorized by   this title. Such fee, right, title, interest or easement in or  to  said   lands  shall be taken in the name of the city and payment therefor shall   be made by the authority. The power hereby conferred upon the city shall   not limit or restrict the power  of  the  authority  itself  to  acquire   lands,  or any right, title, interest or easement therein in the name of   the city. Forthwith  upon  the  acquisition  by  the  city,  or  by  the   authority  in  the  name  of  the  city,  of any such fee, right, title,   interest or easement, the same shall, without further act, but by virtue   of this title, be and become dedicated to the uses and purposes  of  the   authority.
