20 public health, safety, morals, or welfare of the residents of
21 such county or municipality.
22 (2) A resolution finding slum or blight conditions
23 must indicate that property within the community redevelopment
24 area may be subject to taking by eminent domain pursuant to s.

27 domain provided under s. 163.375 will not be exercised by the
