450 BOARD OF TRUSTEES The vice president for business and finance concurs. I recommend approval. [November 9 On motion of Mrs. Gravenhorst, 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.) Conveyance of Acreage, Elizabethtown Experimental Field, Hardin County (27) On January 10, 1917, 32.58 acres in the village of Elizabethtown in Hardin County, Illinois, were deeded to the University by the owners of the property as a direct gift "for the purpose of establishing an agricultural experiment station." After the granting of several easements, two parcels of land containing a total of 29.42 acres remain available for this purpose. The Elizabethtown Experimental Field is used by the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences in the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences for forestry research. In July of this year, the Hardin County Board of Commissioners submitted a request to the dean of the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences to transfer without compensation approximately 2.3 acres of the Experimental Field adjacent to Hardin County School District property as the site for the development of a community service center. The Hardin County Community Service Complex would provide space for the programs of a number of service organizations, which are now scattered and housed in substandard facilities, including: Golden Circle Senior Citizens Council, Inc., which operates a nutrition and social service program for the elderly; Southern Seven Health Department, which operates a Head Start program for children; Family Counseling Center, which provides mental health care and services for the handicapped of all ages; and Shawnee Alliance, which provides long term care case management services for the elderly. The head of the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences, the interim dean of the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences support the request of the Hardin County Board of Commissioners to transfer the land to the county without compensation. Accordingly, the chancellor recommends that the board authorize appropriate administrative officers to seek legislation in the Illinois General Assembly empowering the University to convey title of approximately 2.3 acres of the Elizabethtown Experimental Field to the Hardin County Board of Commissioners as the site for the Hardin County Community Service Complex. I concur. On motion of Mrs. Gravenhorst, 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.)
