(1) The commission may:
(a) Make such preliminary investigations and do such preliminary work as should, in its judgment, precede the actual construction of the building or improvement.
(b) Determine upon a proper site for the building or improvement. If the city owns a public building, that site, as it exists or as enlarged by the acquisition of adjacent property recommended by the commission, shall be used unless the commission determines that it is unsuitable for the purpose and recommends to the mayor the acquisition of another site. The mayor shall submit the recommendation to the legislative body for approval. The new site shall be adopted only upon the approval of the change by legislative resolution approved by the mayor. In the event the existing building on the old site is to be abandoned, the old site may be sold and the proceeds applied to the purchase of the new site.
(c) Provide accommodations for patients or inmates of the existing public building while the new building is in course of erection and furnishing. The legislative body may, out of its levy for the department having supervision of such buildings, assume the whole or part of the expense of providing such temporary accommodations.
(d) Establish and enforce reasonable rules and regulations for its own government and for the supervision, protection, management and conduct of its work and the payment therefor as it deems expedient.
(e) Purchase, hire or otherwise obtain the use of such lands, buildings, machinery, supplies, materials and working agencies as it needs for its purposes.
(f) Acquire by gift, purchase, lease or condemnation, any property situated within the city or county where the city is located, or any interest or privilege in the property, required for the building or improvement. The method of condemnation shall be the same as in the Eminent Domain Act of Kentucky.
(2) The enumeration of special powers in this section does not restrict the general powers of the commission to carry out the purposes of KRS § 98.040 to KRS § 98.170.
