1964] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 1029 lowest bidder, for construction and installation of an incinerator in the DentistryMedicine-Pharmacy Building. This improvement is a part of the 1963-65 building program and funds are available in the state capital appropriations for the same. I concur. On motion of Mrs. Watkins, this contract was awarded by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Clement, Mr. Dilliard, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Page, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Swain, Mrs. Watkins, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. Jones, Mr. Kerner. AGREEMENT W I T H FEDERAL AVIATION AGENCY A N D GRANT FOR AIRPORT IMPROVEMENTS AND ACQUISITION OF LAND (IS) In 1961 the University purchased air rights at the south end of the northsouth runway and land-in-fee on the north end of the north-south runway at the University of Illinois-Willard Airport in accordance with an agreement with the Federal Aviation Agency to provide clear zones on the north-south runway for a prospective instrument runway. The Federal Aviation Agency subsequently decided to put the installation on the northwest-southeast runway and is now making an instrument landing system installation on that runway. T h e Federal Aviation Agency has offered the University a grant of $92,443 to: (1) reimburse the University for costs of acquiring the land and air rights on the north-south r u n w a y ; (2) install high intensity lights; (3) purchase the necessary air rights and land on the northwest-southeast r u n w a y ; (4) install marking on instrument r u n w a y ; (5) install perimeter fencing on the approach lighting system site; and (6) remove obstructions. In order to accept this grant, the University must agree to acquire approximately twenty acres of land in fee simple and air rights over approximately one hundred and ten acres at the ends of the northwest-southeast runway. The land will be used for the future installation of an approach lighting system and clearance zones, which adds to the utility and safety of the airport operations and is usually installed as an integral part of the instrument landing system. T h e State Department of Aeronautics has agreed to pay the matching costs of these improvements, to the extent of $44,000, from state appropriations released for improvements at the University of Illinois-Willard Airport. T h e entire cost of the land to be acquired is reimbursable from the federal grant and the appropriation to the State Department of Aeronautics. The Director of the Institute of Aviation and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend acceptance of the grant and authorization of the Director of the Institute of Aviation to negotiate for the acquisition of the land, recommendations for the purchase of which will be submitted to the Board. I concur and recommend adoption of the following resolution: Resolution Accepting, Adopting, and Authorizing Execution of Acceptance of Grant Offer of the Administrator of the Federal Aviation A g e n c y Constituting Grant Agreement Between the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois and the United States WHEREAS, the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Agency, for and in behalf of the United States, has extended to The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois a formal Grant Offer, dated December 19, 1963, pursuant to the Project Application of The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois submitted to the Federal Aviation Agency, dated September 27, 1963, all as hereinbelow set forth, and all relating to the development of the University of Illinois-Willard Airport; the same bearing F A A Project No. 9-11-026-C404; and WHEREAS, pursuant to and for the purposes of carrying out the provisions of the Federal Airport Act (60 Stat. 170; Public Law 377, 79th Congress), it is necessary that said Grant Offer be duly and formally accepted by The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois; and WHEREAS, such Grant Offer and such Acceptance thereof, duly executed, together shall constitute the Grant Agreement between The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois and the United States relating to said airport-development project; and WHEREAS, the said Grant Offer is in the words, figures, and form following:
