T h e annual rental for the period July 1, 1991, through June 30, 1992, is $66,856. In addition to a reduction in the annual rent, there are other operational efficiencies that will be realized in combining the two offices. Furthermore, the rent for the Countryside office includes janitorial and utility services, which were additional expenses at the Tinley Park office. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends, subject to the availability of funds, entering into such a lease for FY 1992 with the Cook County Farm Bureau. Funds have been included in the appropriation bill of the General Assembly to
