By MICHAEL MERSCHEL Staff writer Slow-moving negotiations over the Union Pacific depot in North Lawrence have dareded, or at least sidetracked, plans for the KU Crew to move into the building. Plans for depot stalled KU Crew coach Cliff Elliott said that earlier this year, he thought final agreements between the city of Lawrence and the Union Pacific railroad company would be completed in time for his team to turn the freight wing of the depot into a meeting and exercise area this fall. But changing signals from the railroad about insurance and other matters mean that there is still no final contract between the city and the railroad. A Union Pacific spokesman said the company was concerned about its liability and was waiting for a lease proposal from the city that addresses the issue. the issue. Until that contract is signed, Elliot said, KU Crew won't be able to occupy the building. the air, the bombshell, John Bromley, a spokesman for Union Pacific in Omaha, Neb., said the railroad was awaiting an offer from the city that would make the railroad liability-free. "We had anticipated things would move along much quicker," Elliott said. Bromley said Union Pacific would still like to see the building moved away from the tracks, but had decided to let the building stay put when it looked as if the task force would not be able to raise enough money. The potential for accidents involving trains is why Union Pacific wanted to tear down the building in the first place, he said. "We feel it's a hazard where it is," he said. The Save the Depot Task Force, which includes KU Crew, the Lawrence Rowing Association and the Lawrence Preservation Alliance, has worked to save the building since 1985. Nancy Shontz, a task force Bromley said the time it took to reach a final agreement depended on the city's offer to the railroad. member, said. Shontz said that Union Pacific at first refused to allow the city to take over the depot when it announced plans to demolish it. The company then decided to allow the building to be taken over on the condition it was moved off of Union Pacific property member, said. Wildgen said that the city would try to word its contract to give the railroad the liability protection it wants. Assistant city manager Mike Widgen said a proposed lease would be submitted to Union Pacific within a month. While the task force was trying to raise $500,000 to move and renovate the 98-year old depot, a management change at Union Pacific changed the company's position, Shontz said. Union Pacific then told the task force that it would allow the city to lease the building, dropping the requirement it be moved and saving the task force hundreds of thousands of dollars. liability issue. "Right now it's up in the air," Shontz said. That is where the project stood this spring, Shontz said, when KU Crew thought it would be able to move in by fall after a simple contract was agreed upon between the city and Union Pacific. The task force already has raised thousands of dollars for the project and hopes to get the rest during the renovation, which should take a few years. But Shontz said matters were complicated this summer when the railroad insisted that the contract remove all liability from Union Pacific in case of an accident at the depot, even if Union Pacific was declared at fault. Present negotiations hinge on the Until the city and the railroad come to terms, the 300-member crew team will continue to use an unheated warehouse at 6th and New York streets to exercise, hold meetings and store its shells.
