304 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [June 11 Report of Vacation of West Grenshaw Street, Medical Center District, Chicago (28) On July 10, 1986, the Board of Trustees authorized the acquisition of the Cregier School property in Chicago by the Medical Center Commission. The board also authorized reimbursement of the commission for the acquisition and demolition of the improvements as well as the vacation of the north-south alley to the west of the school and Fillmore Street north of the school. The board authorized the transfer of $350,000, subject to the execution of the appropriate agreements. The Medical Center Commission has also requested the City of Chicago to vacate West Grenshaw Street between Wolcott and Wood Streets south of the school, with the understanding that an adjacent property owner (the Chicago Lighthouse for the Blind) will waive any right, title, or interest it may have in the land underlying Grenshaw Street when the street is vacated. The subsequent conveyance of the vacated right-of-way to the University will be subject to the right of access to property now owned by the Chicago Lighthouse for the Blind. The vacation ordinance also provides that the University grant an easement for an existing 15-inch sewer in West Grenshaw and pay an estimated cost of $80,000 for the installation of 600 feet of a water main in West Wood Street from Fillmore Street to Roosevelt Road, the latter necessitated by the abandonment of a water main in West Grenshaw Street. Due to the necessity for immediate action in this matter, the president has approved the allocation of $80,000 as described above. In accordance with Article II, Section 4(e) of the General Rules Concerning University Organization and Procedure, the president reports said transaction and requests confirmation and approval of his action. On motion of Mr. Wolff, this action was confirmed by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Forsyth, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Logan, Mrs. Shepherd, Miss Smith, Mr. Wolff; no, none; absent, Governor Thompson. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Filip, Mr. Starkeson; no, none.) Lease of Space in University Inn for Police Training Institute (29) The Police Training Institute presently contracts with a motel operator to provide housing/meeting rooms and food service for a portion of the trainees of the institute who are attending specialized courses. The motel is located approximately 1.5 miles from campus. The location has created problems in the institute programs, primarily because of the students' need to have access to campus laboratories, equipment, and facilities. Special arrangements for transportation are time-consuming and costly. It now seems essential to contract for the anticipated needs of the institute over a twelve-month period and on a flexible basis with a vendor who can provide conveniently located apartment-type rooms, meeting rooms, and food service as required. An agreement has been reached with the University Inn, Champaign, to provide up to 2,800 room/nights in 14 specially furnished apartments1 for a twelve-month period beginning July 1, 1987. The cost of leasing such space is $4,900 per month. If the institute exceeds 2,800 room/nights during the period, University Inn will provide additional housing at a rate of $24.65 per room/night. In addition, University Inn will provide class/meeting rooms as specified by the institute at no added cost. The dates of occupancy for all spaces will be arranged in advance, subject to the right of the institute to cancel. The apartments are 1 Each apartment will have sleeping and study accommodations for two persons.
