108 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [October 11 • A steering committee of six members with three each appointed by the city and the University will monitor operations and expenditures and recommend any changes in the operational plan and budget. Board of Trustees' approval of the proposal and the contract will be followed by further discussions with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for the transfer of ownership of Mile Square Health Center to the City of Chicago. T h e vice president for business and finance concurs in this recommendation. I recommend approval. Mrs. Gravenhorst moved to postpone consideration of the Mile Square Health Center contractual proposal with the City of Chicago to a time certain: the November 1990 meeting of the University of Illinois Board of Trustees. Mr. Boyle asked a parliamentary question about the acceptability of this motion. Mr. Higgins indicated that it was in order. Mrs. Gravenhorst then explained her motion by saying that she still had many unanswered questions which she would like investigated before the University enters into an agreement. A discussion of fiscal implications, medical education, and public service aspects of the proposed contract ensued. F u r t h e r she explained that political pressures had been a part of shaping this agreement, a fact she found unfortunate and inappropriate to the board. She said that she thought that delaying the vote on this issue until after the November election would tend to take this out of the political sphere and serve the interests of the University. She added that she wanted the Chicago Commons organization considered as a p a r t n e r in this agreement. Mr. H a h n made a statement in support of operating Mile Square Health Center saying that the University ought to do this as part of its urban mission. (A copy of Mr. H a h n ' s complete statement is filed with the secretary of the board for record.)
