BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[November 17

Section 2. A proposal shall be considered in three steps. a. Step 1. First, the proposal shall be introduced to the Senate, after due notice has been given, for initial discussion and Senate referral to the Senate Committee charged with Constitutional matters. T h e Committee shall review the proposal and shall prepare the form of the proposal together with its recommendation for presentation to the Senate at a subsequent meeting for Step 2. b. Step 2. T h e Committee shall present its version of the proposal and shall invite discussion and perfection by amendment (s). This meeting and any subsequent meeting(s) at which amendments to the proposal are accepted by the Senate shall constitute Step 2. c. Step 3. At a meeting no earlier than fourteen calendar days following a Step 2 meeting, the Senate may vote to adopt the proposal. If at this meeting any amendment to the proposal is accepted by the Senate, the meeting must be considered as part of Step 2, and Step 3 must proceed as described above. Adoption of the proposal shall require a two-thirds majority. In accordance with the University Statutes, the amendment must be approved by the Board of Trustees of the University before it takes effect. Section 3. T h e Senate may provide for a comprehensive review of its size, organization, structure and operation by a commission composed of members of the faculty and student electorates and administrative officials. T h e commission shall report its findings and make appropriate recommendations. T h e report of the commission shall be made public and distributed as are all other reports of the Senate. The first report shall be submitted not later than three years after the first election held under this Constitution. ARTICLE VII. ENACTMENT. The provisions of this Constitution shall become effective when adopted by a two-thirds vote at a joint meeting of the Senates of the Health Sciences Center and the University Center of the University of Illinois at Chicago and approved by the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois. Agreement w i t h Mississippi V a l l e y Airlines, Inc. (17) Negotiations have been completed for the use of University of IllinoisWillard Airport facilities by Mississippi Valley Airlines, Inc., of Moline, Illinois, for the operation of scheduled air service from December 15, 1983, through June 30, 1984. T h e agreement grants Mississippi Valley landing privileges and the use of aircraft parking aprons for loading and discharging passengers, in exchange for a fee equivalent to that charged for all scheduled passenger service landings at Willard Airport. Mississippi Valley plans to provide three or four flights daily to St. Louis with an intermediate stop at Springfield. Additional flights to Chicago may be provided at a later time. All ground services for the airline, ticket sales, baggage handling, and aircraft handling will be provided by Ozark Airlines under a separate contract. T h e chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus and the vice president for business and finance have recommended: (1) that an agreement as described be executed; and (2) that future renewals of the agreement be subject to such adjustments in rates as may be approved by the president and comptroller. I concur.

On motion of Dr. Donoghue, these recommendations were approved.
