support functions of the Biologic Resources Laboratory at the Chicago campus. A portion of the land was also identified to support pharmaceutical plant growing, processing, and related functions of the College of Pharmacy. Since its conveyance in 1979, the property has been leased to a tenant farmer and the proceeds of the lease have been used for various activities at the Health Sciences Center. It has not been possible to develop the property in the manner originally anticipated because of other operating and capital needs of the Chicago campus. It is not anticipated that development of this property can be accomplished by the University within the near future. In February, the vice president for business and finance was authorized by the Board of Trustees to negotiate with the Department of Central Management Services on behalf of the University and to agree to convey this property to the State, if this action were sought by the General Assembly and governor. The 84th General Assembly now has passed and the governor has approved legislation which authorizes the Department of Central Management Services to convey the property to the Manteno Mental Health Center Redevelopment Council to facilitate economic development of that area of the State. The president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the Board of Trustees adopt the following resolution to convey the property to the Illinois Department of Central Management Services.
