BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[January 17

On motion of Mr. Logan, the foregoing resolution was adopted and authority was given as recommended.

Amendment of Regulations Governing Procurement and Bidding

(15) T h e Illinois Purchasing Act requires each State agency to update and file rules and regulations governing its procurement practices and procedures. Uniform "Regulations Governing Procurement and Bidding at State Systems Universities in Illinois" were collectively developed by staffs of the senior public universities of the four governing boards to achieve more efficient, coordinated purchasing for all higher education as promoted by a number of State agencies as well as the Joint Council on Higher Education. T h e Board of Trustees approved an up-todate revision of these regulations on June 25, 1977. T h e staffs of the universities again have collaborated to develop amendments. The amendments are wholly technical and clarifying in nature. The president of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the board approve the amendments effective January 17, 1985, as regulations of the University of Illinois required by the Illinois Purchasing Act, and further recommends that the board authorize the filing of the regulations in accordance with the Administrative Procedures Act. (A copy of the amendments proposed has been filed with the secretary of the board for record.)

On motion of Mr. Logan, these recommendations were approved. By consensus, the board agreed that one roll call vote would be taken and considered die vote on each agenda item nos. 16 through 26 inclusive. The recommendations were individually discussed but acted upon at one time. (The record of board action appears at the end of each item.)
