Extension of Agreements for Fiscal Year 1992, University of Illinois Foundation and Alumni Association (15) On November 18, 1982, the Board of Trustees adopted revised guidelines governing certain fiscal procedures, including those between the University and University-related organizations. T h e University of Illinois Foundation and Alumni Association asked to be designated University-related organizations as provided in the guidelines and have operated under service agreements with the Board of Trustees for that purpose. Such agreements have been renewed on an annual basis. Because legislative action upon University appropriations has not been completed, the president of the University requests authorization to extend the present agreements beginning July 1, 1991, and continuing until further action of the board. Funds to support these agreements are included in the appropriation bill of the General Assembly to meet the ordinary and contingent expenses of the University for FY 1992. These funds will be included in the University's budget request for FY 1992 to be presented to the Board of Trustees. T h e agreements are subject to the availability of such funds. O n motion of Mr. Boyle, authority was given as requested by t h e following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mr. Boyle, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Grabowski, Mrs. G r a v e n h o r s t , Mr. L a m o n t , Ms. Reese, Mrs. S h e p h e r d , Mr. Wolff; no, n o n e ; absent, G o v e r n o r Edgar.

Willard Airport Runway Improvements and Taxiway Lighting Systems, Fiscal Year 1991, Urbana (16) Recently, due to excessive rains, the southeast and center taxiway lighting systems that serve Willard Airport's air carrier parking apron have become unreliable. Originally installed in 1969, the electrical cable and transformers have been disturbed a n d / o r altered by construction projects in 1974, 1975, 1990, and 1991, and have deteriorated or become weak due to age and ground water. T h e taxiway lighting is used daily by air carriers and other aircraft and must be restored as soon as possible. Based on approval of the Board of Trustees (November 15, 1990), a FY 1991 grant request for runway improvements was submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration (FA A) in January 1991. T h e FA A has not forwarded a grant to Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Aeronautics (IDOT), or to the University for execution. Authority is required to amend the grant request to include the lighting system rehabilitation. T h e vice chancellor for administrative affairs at the Urbana campus and the vice president for business and finance recommend that the board authorize submission of a multi-year grant request to the FA A and amendment of the IDOT Agency and Participation Agreement, for a total request of $1,077,000. I concur. O n motion of Mr. Boyle, this r e c o m m e n d a t i o n was approved by t h e following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mr. Boyle, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Grabowski, Mrs. G r a v e n h o r s t , Mr. L a m o n t , Ms. Reese, Mrs. S h e p h e r d , Mr. Wolff; no, n o n e ; absent, G o v e r n o r Edgar.
