224 B O A R D OF T R U S T E E S On motion of Dr. Bacon, the purchases authorized by the president were confirmed, and the purchases recommended were authorized by the following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mr. Boyle, Mrs. Calder, Dr. Gindorf, Mr. Grabowski, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Lopez, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Begovich, Mr. Lawless; no, none.) Report of Actions by Executive Committee (42) The following action has been taken by the Executive Committee since the last meeting of the board. I now report that action to the board as a whole. Award of Contract for Repairs to Cooling System, Chicago Emergency approval was sought to begin repairs to the cooling system chiller in the Utility Center on the east side of the campus. The purchase was exempt from sealed bid requirements because it was for emergency repairs to a 3,500 ton cooling system chiller. A recent routine inspection showed that all condensation and evaporation tubes needed replacement. It was necessary for the repair work to commence immediately in order to provide air conditioning for buildings on the east side of the campus beginning June 1993. The cost is $398,000. Although exempted from sealed bid requirements on the basis of emergency need, three other firms were invited to submit quotations. Each was higher in price that the recommended firm — Gandhi Mechanical Contractors, Inc., Chicago. This firm is also a minority business enterprise. This report was received for record. SECRETARY'S REPORT The secretary presented for record appointments to the faculty and changes of status made by the president, resignations, terminations, and retirements. A copy of the report is filed with the secretary. ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD President Calder called attention to the schedule of meetings for the next few months: May 14, Urbana-Champaign; June 11, Chicago; July 9, Urbana-Champaign. There is no meeting scheduled for April. There being no further business, the board adjourned. MICHELE M. THOMPSON JUDITH A N N CALDER Secretary LUNCHEON President Special guests of the trustees at luncheon were several student leaders from the Urbana-Champaign campus and members of the University Relations Committee of the Champaign County Chamber of Commerce.
