T h e basic rental is $3,986.17 per month; as additional rental the costs of real estate taxes, fire and liability insurance, interior maintenance, and minor repairs are estimated to be $3,250 per month. T h e University would pay all operating and utility costs. The agreement further provides for annua] renewals through June 30, 1984, by mutual agreement under the same terms and conditions, except that if the parties agree on a renewal, the basic annual rental will be modified in accordance with the annual changes in the Consumer Price Index, U.S. City Average, with the base period established as June 1, 1979, but limited to a maximum change of 10 percent per year. The owner of the warehouse is Uppco, Inc. T h e building will provide approximately 23,917 square feet of space, of which approximately 3,500 is equipped for office use, and the remainder for warehouse purposes. The space will provide office and warehouse facilities for the Medical Center Central Stores operation, and storage for the Physical Plant Department. It is recommended that the comptroller and the secretary be authorized to execute the lease agreement described and to exercise the option for FY 1980, subject to the continuing need and availability of funds. Funds are available in the operating budget of the Physical Plant Department for FY 1979. Funds for the lease in FY 1980 have been included in the appropriation bill of the General Assembly to meet the ordinary and contingent expenses of the University. The vice president for administration concurs in this recommendation. I recommend approval. (The University currently leases a similar facility at 1121 South Clinton Street, Chicago. The lessor has notified the University of the sale of the building and the termination of the lease as of June 30, 1979, in accordance with the terms of the lease agreement.)
