EXECUTIVE SESSION, NOVEMBER 13,1986 Purchase of Land for Willard Airport (1) The last tract of privately-owned farmland that adjoins the north boundary of Willard Airport consists of approximately 62.5 acres of unimproved farmland. It is owned by Richard C. Bucher and Helen Marshall. The owners have indicated their willingness to sell the property for $2,700 per acre ($168,750) or for acreage determined by a land survey. The price per acre is the amount certified by the Illinois Department of Transportation under its appraisal review certification for compensation for this parcel of land. The acquisition is needed for aeronautical purposes in the Willard Airport Master Plan and Airport Layout Plan, approved by the Board of Trustees on April 10, 1986. The University would seek reimbursement for the purchase through the Federal/State Airport Improvement Program. The president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the University acquire the property for the sum of $2,700 per acre. A land survey will determine the exact acreage and the total purchase price. Funds are available in the Fiscal Year 1987 operating budget of Willard Airport
