The Lawrence City Commission last night voted unanimously to provide funds for the repair of a crater in North Second Street.
The commission approved the resolution, which allocates $102,000 for the repairs, after George Williams, director of public works, briefed the commissioners about the situation.
Williams said that his crew still had to lay new pipe, connect sew-sew.
ers, reconnect a water line and repave the street.
The crater formed after old underground water pipes burst, he said. Heavy rainfall may have contributed to the problem.
The initial hole was about 25 feet by
35 feet wide and about 20 feet deep.
"I don't have any idea how long it had been there," Williams said. "I think probably what happened in that sandy soil was that when the pipe broke it just started kind of a whirlpool action and started eating

"On behalf of Lawrence, thank you and your crew for saving North Lawrence," she said.
In other business, the commission unanimously approved a memorandum of understanding between the
city and the Lawrence Police Officers Association.
The tentative two-year agreement would allow for a 3 percent general wage adjustment in 1994, reclassify officers who have reached the top of their pay brackets making them eligible for a 3 percent pay increase, and offer skill and education incentives.
The agreement also would allow officers to convert seven days of sick leave a year for paternity leave upon the birth or adoption of a child.

Although Stanley Koplik is bound for Massachusetts, he is leaving behind someone that is sure to retain close ties with the University of Kansas.
Kopik, executive director of the Board of Regents, has taken a position as chancellor for the Massachusetts Higher Education Coordinating Council, but his daughter, Kristen, will remain in Kansas to
begin her freshman year at KU.
Kopik begins his new position September 1
Koplik has been with the Regents for 11 years and has lived in the Midwest for 22 years.
After so many years here, Koplik said it would not be easy to leave the Midwest.
"Our roots are here," he said. "Kansas is home for our family. It is a major transition to go from Kansas to Massachusetts."

Koplik said he would miss some of the personal relationships he had made with people at KU, especially the one with Chancellor Gene Budig.
"We have a good, deep, respectful friendship," Koplik said.
Ed Meyen, executive vice chancellor, said the program review in which KU had been involved over the last
year was a result of the leadership of Stanley Koplik and the Regents.
That initiative is far enough along that we will move ahead in the spirit of that effort with new leadership," Meyen said.
Meyen said he believed that Koplik's departure would influence KU.
"It's important to realize that with a change in leadership we can anticipate that there will be some impact on higher education in Kansas," Meyen said.
