T h e nature of this work also requires access to certain specialized equipment. An immediate need is for an environmentally-controlled chamber ("clean room"), with the rigorous environmental controls necessary for the fabrication of semiconducting devices. This chamber can be purchased as a commercially prefabricated unit for installation in ordinary building space. EDI has determined that it is necessary to locate the equipment within an existing building in order to meet the development timetable proposed by DARPA. Suitable space which can be remodeled immediately, and which has the desired proximity to the other facilities, has been located in an existing structure (Warehouse No. 1) on University property. It is proposed that this space, 1,600 square feet, be leased to U M C for sublease only to E D I upon the same basis so that the equipment can be installed in the fall of this year. Design and remodeling expenses and the cost of the equipment and its installation will be paid by U M C Remodeling construction would be done by the University. There would be no rental payment by U M C , the rental value being offset by the value of the remodeling improvements to the building. The improvements will become the property of the University. The lease will be for a period of seven years, subject to termination at the end of the fifth or sixth year if the site is required by the University. The tenant will reimburse the University for all operation and maintenance costs. It is also proposed that, if a similar adjacent area in the same building becomes available, it be leased to U M C upon similar terms and conditions. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the Board of Trustees authorize the lease of space to Bill J. Hunsinger, doing business as University Microelectronics Center, under the terms and conditions described above.

On motion of Mr. Madden, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Day, Dr. Donoghue, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Logan, Mr. Madden, Mr. Stone; no, none; absent, Mrs. Shepherd, Governor Thompson. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Lamm, Mr. Pittman; no, none.)

Application for Federal Assistance for the 1985 Airport Improvement Program

(42) T h e Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Aeronautics, and the Federal Aviation Administration have indicated that the following projects will be considered for funding in the fiscal year 1985 Airport Improvement Program: Security lights — northeast apron and entrance road $187 000 Land acquisition in clear zone to runway 4-22 286 000 Purchase snow blower 88 000 Install visual approach slope indicator (VASI) on runway 18. . 50 000 T h e Division of Aeronautics has requested that the University enter into an Initial Agency and Participation Agreement covering the proposed development. T h e agreement will confirm the University's intent to pursue the proposed development, select a consulting engineer, and prepare an application for Federal assistance for 90 percent of the program. T h e balance of the cost, which includes the University's and State's share, will be borne by the Division of Aeronautics, except for 10 percent ($8,800) of the cost of the snow blower. T h e division is prohibited from participating in the purchase of equipment; therefore, $8,800 of airport-generated revenue will be used to fund the remaining 10 percent of the purchase price of the snow blower.
