Fiscal Year 1983 Capital Appropriations

(4) The 82nd General Assembly authorized $5,498,500 and the governor approved $750,000 for capital projects at the University of Illinois for FY 1983. A total of $750,000 was appropriated from the Capital Development fund to the Capital Development Board for food production and research facilities as shown below. Agricultural Engineering Sciences Building (Equipment) $750 000

In a separate bill, the General Assembly authorized and the governor approved $15,000,000 for capital development of coal resources at the Abbott Power Plant at the Urbana-Champaign campus. Funds were appropriated to the Department of Energy and Natural Resources from the Coal Development Fund and the Capital Development Fund in the following manner: Coal Development Fund Capital Development Fund Total $ 5 000 000 10 000 000 ~$15~000~006

In addition to these new appropriations, the unexpended balances for all uncompleted projects and unreleased projects from prior years were reappropriated. Expenditure of these funds is subject to approval by the governor. I recommend that the comptroller be authorized to submit requests to the Capital Development Board, the Department of Energy and Natural Resources, and the governor for approval.

Requests for Operating and Capital Appropriations, Fiscal Year 1984

(5) As president of the University, I submit herewith requests for incremental operating funds and for new capital appropriations, including capital projects for energy conservation and fuel conversion, and the Food Production Research Program (Food for Century I I I ) for FY 1984, as shown in the following tables. (Copies of the complete budget documents are filed with the secretary of the board for record.) T h e request for incremental operating funds totals $61,587,800 and represents a 15.8 percent increase over the FY 1983 operating budget from appropriated funds. Consisting of a "regular" and a "market recovery" phase, the request is quite similar to the preliminary operating budget request presented to the board in July. The request for faculty and staff compensation has been modified slightly from the level suggested in July, to reflect the final determination of FY 1983 salary increases for the University; and current information as to salary increases anticipated at other institutions. Slight changes have also been made in the request for operations and maintenance funds for new facilities.
