                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

ACTION OF COMMISSIONERS; REPORT (§ 33.2-715)

The commissioners shall meet on the lands of the proprietors and tenants that
are named in the order of the local governing body at a specified place and day,
of which notice shall be given by the sheriff to such proprietors and tenants or
their agents. Notice need not be given to any person present at the time the
order is made. Any one or more of the commissioners attending on the land may
adjourn, from time to time, until their business is finished. The commissioners,
in the discharge of their duties, shall comply in all respects with the
provisions of Chapter 2 (§ 25.1-200 et seq.) of Title 25.1 so far as
applicable. They shall promptly make their report as required by § 25.1-232 to
the local governing body and, unless good cause is shown against the report, it
shall be confirmed. If, however, good cause is shown against the report or the
commissioners report their disagreement or fail to report within a reasonable
time, the local governing body may appoint other commissioners to ascertain the
compensation and damages. When any report is confirmed, the local governing body
shall establish or alter the highway or bridge with or without gates, as it may
seem proper, and provide for the payment of the compensation and damages
allowed.
