Authorization to Purchase Medical Office Building, College of Medicine at Rockford

(24) The interim chancellor at Chicago recommends that the comptroller be authorized to contract with Illinois Health Properties, Inc., Rockford, for the purchase of a 10,800 square foot medical office building to be constructed on 3.8 acres on the east side of Rockford at a purchase price of $3.0 million. The UIC College of Medicine at Rockford would utilize the building for an obstetrics/gynecology and pediatrics clinic serving the greater Rockford area. The purchase contract would provide for the acquisition of the site, the construction of the building, and related improvements according to plans prepared by Pedriana Gustafson Architects. Construction is projected to be completed no later than August 1, 1996. The contract would further provide for a down payment of approximately $642,540 at the time of contract execution, with no further payments until such time as the project is completed and accepted by the University. The contract will be funded initially through the College of Medicine at Rockford Restricted Funds with possible reimbursement from a subsequent revenue bond issue for the project. The vice president for business and finance concurs. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mrs. Gravenhorst, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mr. Engelbrecht, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Mrs. O'Malley; no, none; absent, Governor Edgar. (Mrs. Calder, Dr. Gindorf, Ms. Lopez, and Ms. Reese asked to be recorded as not voting on this item.) (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Malone, Mr. Mathew, Mr. Rose; no, none.) By consensus, the board agreed that one roll call vote would be taken and considered the vote on each agenda item nos. 25 through 28 inclusive. The recommendations were individually discussed but acted upon at one time. (The record of board action appears at the end of each item.)
