436 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [January 16 T h e recommendations were individually discussed but acted upon at one time. ( T h e record of board action appears at the end of each item.) Report of Actions of the Executive Committee (1) After consultation with the Executive Committee of the board by use of conference telephone on Thursday, December 19, 1991, I have taken the following actions for which I now request ratification. I Approval of 1992 Budget for Mile Square Health Center Under terms of the 1990 agreement between the University Board of Trustees and the city of Chicago, the University and the city are required to approve the annual operating budget of the center prior to January 1 of each calendar year. T h e center's executive director and steering committee have proposed an operating budget of $4,232,066 for the 1992 calendar year. T h e University's contribution to this budget will be $700,000, the same amount as for 1991. Funds are available for this purpose in the budget of the University of Illinois Hospital. II Receipt of Edelstone Trust Gift T h e trustees of the Sigmund E. Edelstone Trust and the Michael Reese Hospital Foundation have expressed a desire to donate $1,000,000 to the College of Medicine for the creation of a student center which would include study areas, lounges, meeting rooms, and computer facilities. According to the wishes of the Edelstone trustees, and, in part, to satisfy certain tax code requirements, the University of Illinois must take action in 1991 to receive the funds, agree to commit them to the creation of a Medical Student Center, and agree to place a plaque in the center in commemoration of the founder of the trust.

T h e professional services required through receipt of bids will be at a fixed fee of $40,000 and a staff cost on an hourly basis not to exceed $87,000 plus authorized reimbursements estimated to be $1,500. T h e firm of Gilbane Building Company, Chicago, is recommended. IV Implementation of Rules and Regulations, Child of Employee Tuition Waivers Legislation enacting the Child of Employee Tuition Waiver Program was passed by the General Assembly and vetoed by the governor.
