(21) In April 1989 and June 1990, the Board of Trustees approved recommendations concerning the design and financing of a dual fuel cogeneration plant at the Chicago campus. Following these actions, appropriate design construction and equipment procurement actions were initiated subject to appropriate approvals of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA). On September 27, 1990, the IEPA published for public comment the draft of a permit required for this project. T h e comment period ended October 27, 1990, without challenge to the project. Pending conclusion of discussions between State and Federal environmental agencies, the IEPA is expected to award a construction permit. Accordingly, the president of the University now recommends that the comptroller be authorized: 1. To enter into the appropriate lease and sublease of University property (for the greater of seven years or the termination of the lease/purchase agreement previously authorized) with the trustee as described in the following board resolution. 2.
