Sec. 34. (a) The board shall, upon completion of a damage award or upon the determination of an appeal, make out certificates for the proper amounts and in favor of the proper persons. When a person presents a certificate to the city fiscal officer, the person is entitled to a warrant on the city treasury. The warrant shall be countersigned by the president or vice president and the secretary of the board.
(b) The city shall pay the persons the amounts due them as shown by the certificates. The certificates or vouchers shall, whenever practical, be actually tendered to the person entitled to them, but if this is impractical they shall be kept for the persons in the office of the board. The making and filing of the certificates is a valid effectual tender to the person entitled to them when there is sufficient money to pay them. The certificates shall be delivered to the person on request.
(c) If a dispute or doubt arises as to which person shall be paid the money, the board shall make out the certificate in favor of the attorney appointed by the board for the use of the person entitled to it. The attorney shall then draw the money and pay it into court in a proper proceeding, requiring the various claimants to interplead and have their respective rights determined. If an injunction is obtained because damages have not been paid or tendered, the board shall tender the amount of them, with interest from the time of the entry of the property, if entry has been made, and all accrued costs. The injunction shall then be disposed of, if there is sufficient money to pay the certificate. The pendency of an appeal to the circuit or superior court of a county does not affect the validity of a tender made under this section, but the board is entitled to proceed with its appropriation of the property in question.
