Lease of Space for State-Wide Programming, Chicago

(31) T h e Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois currently leases office/ classroom space from Hinsdale Management Corporation at 1010 Jorie Boulevard, Oak Brook, Illinois. Because of increased program demands in the western suburbs, additional space to hold University programs has become a critical problem. Traditionally, space was rented from public schools and community colleges, but they too have experienced program growth a n d / o r have increased rental fees substantially over the last few years. Given this programmatic growth in a densely populated area of the State, it is proposed that additional space be leased from Hinsdale Management Corporation. This proposed lease includes 8,800 square feet of office and classroom space on the second floor of the 1010 Jorie Boulevard facility at a cost of $10,010 per month for a period of three years, July 1, 1991, to June 30, 1994. T h e University currently leases approximately 4,000 square feet. T h e lessor will remodel the space per the lessee plans. T h e lessor will ensure that the space and facilities are remodeled to accommodate handicapped individuals in keeping with Federal, State, and local codes. Support of this continuing activity will come from State funds subject to the annual appropriation of funds. This space will also be shared, in part, with the University's Cooperative Extension Service regional office staff. T h e vice president for academic affairs recommends that the proposed lease be authorized. T h e vice president for business and finance concurs. I recommend approval.

(The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Forbes; absent, Ms. Kelly.)

Easement of a Strip of Land Abutting First Street Right-of-Way between Windsor Road and Gerty Drive to County of Champaign, Urbana

(32) On July 9, 1987, the Board of Trustees authorized an easement for the construction of Windsor Road from South Neil Street to First Street. Champaign County now proposes to improve and widen First Street from the new Windsor Road intersection to Gerty Drive to conform to the roadway design of First Street from Gerty Drive to Kirby Avenue. This project would be a continuation of the arterial development of Windsor Road and the connection from Windsor Road at several locations to the areas of southern Champaign and Urbana. T h e University has participated in the development by providing land for several projects. T h e University has been asked to provide an easement for the land required for the First Street improvement (approximately 0.145 acres). T h e granting of this easement will result in the County of Champaign doing road construction, right-ofway construction, right-of-way maintenance, constructing a new fence for the University, construction of a traffic signal at Windsor Road and First Street, and future construction of a bike path along Windsor Road all at no expense to the University. Authorization of this easement will not interfere with University programs or operation. T h e chancellor at Urbana recommends that the easement 1 be granted. T h e vice president for business and finance concurs.

1 A resolution authorizing this easement was adopted by the board at the July 11, 1991, meeting.
