rehabilitation. Project funding has been established at $270,000. The FAA grant will provide $243,000 (90 percent of the project cost). The State of Illinois' Department of Transportation, Division of Aeronautics, will provide the State's five percent matching share of $13,500 and the University's five percent matching share of $13,500. No University funds are required for this project. Phase I is estimated to cost $996,136 and Phase II is estimated to cost $3,722,342. This runway was last resurfaced in 1974. The stress caused by twenty years of winter climate has resulted in extensive "D" cracking. "D" cracking occurs in concrete runways due to the environmental stress of freezing and thawing of concrete. A nine-month study, sponsored by airport management and conducted by faculty of the University of Illinois' Civil Engineering Department, with expertise as pavement specialists, has indicated that the proposed project is the next step in solving the problem. The firm of Crawford, Murphy & Tilly, Inc., Springfield, is recommended as the consulting engineering firm for this project and for Phase I and Phase II of the runway rehabilitation. For this project, the consultant will make an in-depth analysis of the on-site condition, will propose solutions, and will develop construction plans and specifications to accomplish Phase I of the rehabilitation of the pavements. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the University submit a grant application to the FAA, accept the grant offer, and select the firm of Crawford, Murphy & Tilly, Inc., for this project, Phase I and Phase II of the runway rehabilitation. This firm is recommended for the purpose of studying and developing construction plans and specifications for Phase I of the construction project.

On motion of Ms. Reese, this recommendation was approved. By consensus, the board agreed that one roll call vote would be taken and considered the vote on each agenda item nos. 5 through 15 inclusive. The recommendations were individually discussed but acted upon at one time. (The record of board action appears at the end of each item.)

Approval of 1995 Budget for the Mile Square Health Center, Chicago

(5) The chancellor at Chicago recommends approval of the budget for the Mile Square Health Center for calendar year 1995 as required by the terms of the 1990 agreement between the University's Board of Trustees and the City of Chicago. The center's coordinating committee approved the budget on November 9, 1994. The Chicago City Council approved the budget on November 16, 1994. The vice chancellor for health services, along with the center's executive director and coordinating committee, has proposed an operating budget of $6,304,782 for the year representing an increase of 9.5 percent over the actual expenditure level for calendar year 1994. The projected level of services at the center is expected to increase by 70.4 percent from 40,375 patient encounters in 1994 to 68,815 patient encounters in 1995. The University's contribution to this budget is $712,250, an increase of 4.3 percent. A summarized budget is presented below.
