1995] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 159 Lease of Space for Emergency Medical Helicopter, University of Illinois-Willard Airport, Urbana (19) The State has made a commitment to provide an emergency medical helicopter for the Champaign-Urbana area, effective January 2, 1995. Support needed for the helicopter operation includes: (1) 20 feet x 50 feet heated hangar space for the helicopter, and (2) 464 square feet of living space for crews, including sleeping and shower facilities.1 The staff of the Illinois Division of Aeronautics (IDA) will provide crews to staff the facility on a 24-hour basis. Following extensive discussions between the director of IDA and his staff, University of Illinois-Willard Airport management staff recommended making part of Hangar 2 available to satisfy both space needs. IDA will negotiate with the University a fair market rental agreement for the space. Patients using this service would be transported to the regional trauma center, Carle Foundation Hospital. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the comptroller be authorized to execute the lease. On motion of Ms. Reese, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Engelbrecht, Dr. Gindorf, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Lopez, Mrs. O'Malley, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Dr. Bacon, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Didato-Castillo, Mr. Rose; no, none.) Lease of Space for Temporary Quarters for Fiightstar Corporation, University of Illinois-Willard Airport, Urbana (20) The Fiightstar Corporation has requested that the University provide space for their use in Hangar 2 on a temporary basis until June 30, 1995. Fiightstar currently has inadequate heated space to perform required maintenance on the aircraft for which they have responsibility. Fiightstar has agreed to lease space in Hangar 2 at a fair market rate. In order to provide the space, the Institute of Aviation will need to house two of the Staff Air Transportation Service (SATS) aircraft at another location. Fiightstar has offered heated hangar space at Chanute Field for these aircraft at no cost. The Institute of Aviation has determined that the SATS aircraft remaining at Willard will be adequate to satisfy normal demand for SATS travel. To meet surge needs, the two aircraft located at Chanute will be available. Accordingly, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, I recommend that an amendment to the Fiightstar lease be executed for the purpose outlined above. On motion of Ms. Reese, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Engelbrecht, Dr. Gindorf, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Lopez, Mrs. O'Malley, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Dr. Bacon, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Didato-Castillo, Mr. Rose; no, none.) 1 Remodeling costs (estimated to be about $2,000) will be recovered through the rental agreement with the Illinois Division of Aeronautics.
