The motion was made by Miss Smith and approved unanimously. The committee considered the following recommendations of the President of the University regarding the acquisition of real property. Messrs. Madigan and Margison provided background information on each of the recommendations. Authority to Utilize "Quick-Take" Legislation (1) The Board of Trustees was advised at its meeting of July 10, 1986, of the necessity to authorize the utilization of "quick-take" legislation in order to acquire critical parcels of property on the north campus at Urbana. On advice of counsel, it was felt best to delay adoption of the necessary resolutions until after the governor signed the legislation into law. He has now done so. The chairwoman of the Executive Committee has found it necessary to transact this business before the next regular meeting of the board. Therefore, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the Executive Committee, pursuant to the authority granted to it under Article IV of the Bylaws of the Board of Trustees, adopt the attached resolutions.1
