The city of Lula will soon be taking possession of the train depot property that has been in the hands of a civic organization for more than 20 years. In a special called meeting Monday, Lula City Council accepted a counter-offer from the Lula Area Betterment Association to get the property at 5911 Wall St. under a quick-claim deed. In exchange for the deed to the depot, grounds, equipment and contents, city officials agreed to pay LABA $5,000 and up to $4,000 for the organization’s past and present attorney fees. The terms are more favorable than a previous agreement in which the city would have given a down payment of $2,500 and up to $25,000, if LABA could provide proof of ownership. Three weeks ago, city officials threatened to walk away from that agreement if LABA could not provide clear title within a reasonable amount of time .
