14        government  shall hold at least one public hearing on the
15        matter of the proposed acquisition.  The  governing  body
16        must  give  notice  of  the  hearing  by publication in a
17        newspaper  published   in   the   territory   under   the
18        jurisdiction  of  the  unit of local government or, if no
19        newspaper is published in that territory, in a  newspaper
20        of general circulation in that territory.  At the hearing
21        the  governing  body  shall give members of the public an
22        opportunity to ask questions and offer comments orally or
23        in writing or both.
24             (2)  After the  conclusion  of  the  public  hearing

 4        adopt   by  recorded  vote  a  resolution  requesting  an
 5        authorization to exercise "quick-take" powers to  acquire
 6        the property or interest in property under this Article.

15                  (C)  An  appraisal  of the fair market value of
16             the property or interest in property  sought  to  be
17             acquired  by  the  unit  of  local  government.  The
18             appraisal  must  be  prepared  by   an   independent
19             qualified real estate appraiser.
20                  (D)  An explanation of the public purposes that
21             the  unit  of local government intends to further by
