Contract for Comprehensive Social Services, Mile Square Health Center, Chicago

(14) The interim chancellor at Chicago recommends the approval of a contract with Chicago Commons Association, Chicago, to provide on-site comprehensive social services to patients and community residents of the Mile Square Health Center for the period of September 15, 1995, through December 31, 1996. In the past, Mile Square has provided these services utilizing in-house staff, but this arrangement is no longer cost-effective in its current reorganization. Under the contract, Chicago Commons will provide a comprehensive package of social services including patient-care planning, advocacy, information, education and referral, and community networking and outreach. They will maintain case records, and submit statistical reports, including referral and utilization reports, on an as-required basis. Current staff will be transferred to positions within the Chicago campus. The University will reimburse Chicago Commons $119,825 for its personnel, fringe benefit, and administrative support costs to provide these contractual services. Funds are available in the Restricted Funds operating budget of the Mile Square Health Center. The vice president for business and finance concurs. I recommend approval.

On motion of Ms. Reese, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Engelbrecht, Dr. Gindorf, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Lopez, Mrs. O'Malley, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Malone, Mr. Mathew, Mr. Rose; no, none.)

The seminars are designed for entrepreneurs committed to long-term involvement in the network marketing industry, and will focus on key concepts of entrepreneurial management such as basic strategic planning, building, training/developing, and managing a network marketing distributor organization. Proposed dates for the seminars are mid-November 1995 and late-March 1996. A reference manual, Encyclopedia of Network Marketing, designed specifically for the UIC Network Marketing Seminar participants will be produced for distribution as well. The contract would be effective from September 15, 1995, through April 30, 1996, for a total cost not to exceed $200,000. Funds are generated from participant registration fees.
