BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[April 9

Chicago Technology Park Research Center Lease Agreement (Confirmation of Action of Executive Committee)

(13) The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees, by telephone poll, approved an agreement by which the University leased to the Chicago Technology Park (CTP) the CTP Research Center located at 2201 West Campbell Park Drive. The center will serve as an incubator facility. The Board of Trustees is requested to confirm the action of the Executive Committee taken on March 16, 1987. The lease is for a five-year period commencing March 16, 1987, at an annual lease price of $10 per year. CTP is permitted to sublease portions of the research center with the approval of the University.

On motion of Mrs. Gravenhorst, the action was confirmed. Utility Easement to AT&T, Piatt County

(14) American Telephone and Telegraph has requested an easement on University Allerton Farm property in Willow Branch Township, Piatt County, Illinois. The easement is for a communication cable from Champaign to Decatur. The required easement is a strip 16.5 feet wide across University land and lying between the centerline and the northerly right-of-way boundary of the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad for a distance of 12,350 feet (or 748.5 rods). Based upon the distance to be determined by a survey, AT&T will pay $12 for every rod of cable to be installed on University property. In addition, AT&T will pay for any damages resulting from their activities. The appropriate administrative officers recommend that the easement described be granted and that the Board of Trustees adopt the attached resolution. I recommend approval.
