201.050 Board to acquire property.

(1) The board may acquire by lease, purchase, gift or condemnation, all property

necessary or suitable for establishing the home, and may erect, equip, operate, and

maintain such suitable buildings as may be necessary for the care, custody,

maintenance, education, and training of the children committed to it. The board

shall provide such buildings, grounds, equipment and units, in the county in which

the board is created.

(2) When the property of any other board or institution within the county is conveyed to

the board, and such property is owned, maintained or controlled in whole or in part

by any city or division or district in the city, the conveyance shall first be authorized

by the legislative body or other city board of such city or division or district; and

when the property is owned, maintained or controlled in whole or in part by the

county, the conveyance shall first be authorized by the fiscal court of the county. In

either case, the governing body of the institution must also authorize and direct the

conveyance to be made. Where any such conveyance is made to the board, the board

shall receive and maintain in the home, all children who, at the time of the

conveyance, are in the care and custody of the institution whose property is so

conveyed.

(3) The board shall not be compelled to accept any conveyance which the board finds

unsuited for the purposes of this chapter, or the improvement of which would entail

an injudicious expenditure.
