Sec. 39. (a) The board shall pay to the parties the amounts respectively due them for land taken or purchased or work done by contract or otherwise from the fund derived from the sale of bonds and from assessments of benefits. No other source may be used for this payment. If the land or a part of it is secured by purchase or contract, the payment shall be made according to the terms of the contract. If land is taken by condemnation, the amount of damages assessed shall be paid or tendered within ninety (90) days after the final determination of the condemnation proceedings, or as soon after that as the bond fund is available. The title to the land, or that part paid for or otherwise acquired for these purposes, then vests in the city in the manner, to the extent, for the purposes, and subject to the limitations provided.

     (b) Within sixty (60) days after land or an interest in it is acquired or taken under this chapter, the board shall file and have recorded in the recorder’s office in the county in which the land is situated a description of it sufficiently accurate for its identification, including a statement of the purposes for which it is required or taken signed by a majority of the board.
