Proceedings under Section 1206 may be commenced by order on the commission’s own motion or by a petition filed by the State, county, city and county, city, political subdivision, railroad corporation, or street railroad corporation affected. Any such proceeding may be made a part of any proceeding commenced under Sections 1202 to 1205, inclusive.
The petition shall set forth the name and interest of the petitioner. The order on the commission’s own motion and the petition shall set forth
(a)a statement of the purpose of the proceedings and the use for which property or interest in or to property is sought to be taken,
(b)a decription of each piece of land or other property or interest in or to property sought to be taken, and whether it includes the whole or only a part of an entire parcel or tract or piece of property or interest in or to property, and
(c)the names and addresses of all owners and claimants thereof, if known, or a statement that they are unknown, and a statement of each railroad corporation, the State and political subdivision which in the opinion of the commission or the petitioner has an interest in the proceeding.
The petition shall pray
(a)that the commission fix the just compensation to be paid for the acquisition of or damage to the property and interest in or to property specified in the petition,
(b)that the commission designate the party or parties to the proceeding who shall pay such compensation and the owners and claimants of the property and interest in or to property condemned to whom such compensation shall be paid, and
(c)that the commission make its final order of condemnation. When the proceeding is commenced by order on the commission’s own motion such matters shall be included in the statement of the purpose of the proceeding.
The petition shall be verified. At the time it is filed with the commission the petitioner shall also file additional copies thereof equal in number to three more than the number of owners and claimants named in the petition.
