308 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [June 18 M r . Howard, M r . Lenz, M r . Livingston, M r . Neal, Mrs. Rader, M r . Velasquez; no, M r . Forsyth; absent, Governor Walker. Mrs. Shepherd asked to be recorded as not voting. Employment of Campus Planning Consultant for Medical Center (7) The President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends, subject to the availability of funds, the employment of Richardson, Severns, Scheeler, Greene and Associates, Inc., of Champaign, for consulting services for a total capital improvements program contemplated for the Medical Center campus through 1980 at a fee to be based on the actual hourly rate of technical personnel, plus 150 per cent for overhead and profit, plus authorized reimbursements. T h e total cost is not to exceed $42,000, plus $4,000 reimbursable expenses. Funds in the amount of $35,000 have been requested in the operating budget of the Medical Center campus for FY 1976. T h e balance of the funds needed is being requested in the FY 1977 operating budget. T h e authorization under the contract will not exceed the funds available. The Buildings and Grounds Committee approved this recommendation on May 21, 1975. O n motion of M r . Forsyth, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, M r . Forsyth, M r . Howard, M r . Livingston, M r . Neal, Mrs. Rader, M r . Velasquez; no, M r . Lenz, Mrs. Shepherd; absent, Governor Walker. M r . H a h n asked to be recorded as not voting. Re-employment of Consultant to the Office for Capital Programs (8) T h e President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends the continuation of the employment of Nerad & Carlsen, architects, Clarendon Hills, for consulting services in connection with the University's review of the construction contract documents of projects being undertaken for the Medical Center campus. T h e services will be provided at a fee based on a rate of $25,000 per annum, payable on a monthly basis, plus reimbursement for authorized travel. T h e authorization requested is for the services required through June 30, 1976, and is subject to approval of the Replacement Hospital project by the General Assembly and the Governor for FY 1976. As a result of the planning and construction for the Replacement Hospital and other capital projects proposed for the Medical Center campus, additional assistance in the Office for Capital Programs is required. Since the level of construction activity will, in all probability, be reduced following the completion of these projects, it is beneficial for the University to employ a consultant rather than to employ additional staff for a short period of time. Funds are available in the Hospital Income Account. T h e motion by M r . Howard to approve this recommendation was defeated by the following vote: Aye, M r . Howard, M r . Livingston, Mrs. R a d e r ; no, M r . Forsyth, M r . Lenz, M r . Neal, M r s . Shepherd, M r . Velasquez; absent, Governor Walker. M r . H a h n asked to be recorded as not voting. I n the course of discussion following this action, the necessity for some such service as h a d been recommended was emphasized by President Corbally and President Neal m a d e clear t h a t the President would be invited
