On motion of Ms. Reese, this report was approved as presented. Approval of City of Chicago/University of Illinois Proposal and Contractual Relationship for Mile Square Health Center

(27) At the July meeting of the Board of Trustees, the board received an oral report on the status of discussions between the University and the City of Chicago regarding the reopening of Mile Square Health Center. Following discussion, the board voted to authorize the administration to continue discussions with the city and return to the board in September with recommendations regarding a possible contract between the city and the University leading to the reopening of Mile Square Health Center. During the last two months those discussions have continued and a joint proposal was developed and submitted to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. A copy of the proposal, which was shared with members of the Board of Trustees, is filed with the secretary of the board. • T h e interim chancellor at Chicago recommends that the board ratify the actions of the University in submitting to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services — concurrently with the City of Chicago — the document, "A Proposal to Reopen Mile Square Health Center," dated August 7, 1990. T h e proposal defines the basis upon which the Mile Square Health Center would be opened as a city clinic, including the role of the University in the administration and staffing of the programs to be conducted at that site. Also included in the proposal is the first year's budget for the clinic ($2,760 million), of which the University would provide general support of $500,000 and an additional $200,000 to meet educational and research costs. University contributions and involvement with the clinic relate to its desire to expand medical education opportunities for students and residents, provide a setting for faculty and staff to develop new health care delivery systems in the neighborhood settings, and establish a link between the clinic and the University Hospital that will add to the hospital's rebuilding efforts. T h e interim chancellor also recommends that the board authorize the execution of a contract with the City of Chicago regarding the operation of the Mile Square Health Center which would be established within the framework of the following: • T h e city will take title to and be responsible for the establishment of Mile Square as a city clinic. • T h e city's master contract with the University will cover a five-year-and-onemonth period, subject to annual review and approval of the operating budget by both the city and the Board of Trustees, from commencement date to December 31, 1995. • T h e city will be the financial guarantor of the clinic by covering any planned or unplanned budget shortfalls. • Within the overall budget, the University will provide the essential professional and medical staff to support an expected patient volume of 25,000 in the first year. Marketing efforts will determine future expansion and service mix plans in response to community needs and subject to the availability of resources. • As part of the University's staffing responsibilities, an executive director will be employed to manage the day-to-day operations of the center and will report to the director of the University of Illinois Hospital. • T h e city will provide on-site liaison services to fulfill its responsibility to the west side community, various departments of the city, and other levels of government.
