If the governor considers it necessary:

the state; or
(2) to acquire property adjoining state property on which
buildings have been erected;
the governor may order the attorney general to file an action in the
name of the state. The attorney general shall file the action in a court

state's petition must ask that appraisers be appointed to appraise the
