UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

91

The following University actions are recommended with regard to requests from the City of Urbana for annexations. 1. Petition by the University to annex to the city that portion of the Orchard South Housing area which lies outside the City of Urbana. 2. Agreement by the University to petition for annexation of additional lands in the future. 3. Recommend action by the University of Illinois Foundation to annex a portion of Busey Woods. 1 An analysis of the benefits to the University resulting from the vacation has been completed: the streets and alleys, when acquired together with the abutting private properties, will provide present and future building sites for development of the north campus master plan which are equal to or of greater value than the amount of the direct compensation. The City of Urbana has requested the annexations to allow additional annexation of private lands for city development beyond University lands. These annexations will result in payment by the University (and Orchard South residents) of small amounts of utility taxes. Orchard South residents desire annexation to permit them to use the Urbana Public Library and to participate in Urbana Park District programs without payment of nonresident fees. Accordingly, the chancellor at Urbana has recommended the adoption of the annexation petition and annexation agreement, payment of compensation, and a recommendation to the University of Illinois Foundation for annexation of Busey Woods described above. Execution of the appropriate documents would occur upon final acceptance of the arrangements and adoption of an ordinance to vacate the streets and alleys by the Urbana City Council. I recommend approval.

On motion of Miss Smith, these recommendations were approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Day, Mr. Forsyth, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Logan, Mr. Madden, Mrs. Shepherd, Miss Smith; no, none; absent, Governor Thompson. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Filip, Mr. Starkeson; no, none.)

Amendment to Architectural/Engineering Contract, Beckman Institute, Urbana

(33) On December 10, 1985, an agreement was executed with the firm of Smith, Hinchman & Grylls, Associates, Inc., Detroit, Michigan, for the "preliminary programming and conceptual design" phase of the Arnold O. and Mabel M. Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at the Urbana campus. On March 13, 1986, the Board of Trustees amended the agreement to include the professional services required through the "schematic design" phase; on April 10, 1986, the board authorized another amendment to include the professional services required through the receipt of bids; on June 12, 1986, the board amended the agreement to include professional services required for the site development and for interior design (through design development phase); and on July 10, 1986, the board amended the agreement to include the professional services required for the interior/exterior signage (through the receipt of bids). It is now recommended that the agreement be amended to include the professional services required (through the receipt of bids) for site development and for interior design on an hourly basis, the total not to exceed $72,000 and $32,000, respectively. •A map, detailing the lites in question; and the texts of the annexation petition and agreement are filed with the secretary of the board for record.
