Contract for Management and Operation of Inter-library Delivery System

(13) The Illinois State Librarian has requested that the University continue the contract initiated in July 1980 to manage and operate a system to deliver library materials among eighteen regional libraries and the several state universities throughout Illinois. T h e system makes it possible for a prospective borrower in one of the libraries covered to have rapid access to books in any other library in the system. The service would continue to be provided through the implementation of seven delivery routes to link the regional and state universities libraries with the University managing and coordinating the entire delivery system through the University Office for Planning. The Illinois State Library would pay the University a total of $333,651 during FY 1982; $100,095 of this amount would be provided within 90 days of execution of this agreement and the remainder would be paid periodically over the balance of the fiscal year. The executive vice president has recommended that the University enter into an agreement as described. T h e vice president for academic affairs concurs. Authorization is also requested to subcontract for operation of the Western Distribution Loop with Western Illinois University; the River Bend Loop with River Bend Library System; the Near South Loop with Kaskaskia Library System; and the Far South Loop with Shawnee Library System. Funds are provided in the aforementioned total for this purpose. I recommend approval.

On motion of Dr. Donoghue, this recommendation was approved.

Agreement for Services with Ozark Airlines, Willard Airport

(14) The present agreement with Ozark Airlines for services in the Willard Airport Administration Building, including operation and maintenance service, expires June 30, 1981. Both parties wish to renew the agreement. However, Ozark has recently introduced some new service requirements for which the University believes it should be remunerated and negotiations for this have not yet been completed. It is proposed, therefore, pending completion of negotiations for a new agreement, that the present agreement be extended on a month-to-month basb for a period not to exceed four months. T h e rates in the new agreement, when determined, will be effective July 1, 1981, and appropriate adjustments will be made to bring interim payments into agreement with the contractual rates effective July 1, 1981. T h e chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus and the executive vice president recommend execution of extensions of the present agreement as described. I concur.

On motion of Dr. Donoghue, this recommendation was approved. By consensus, the board agreed that one vote would be taken and considered the vote on each agenda item nos. 15 through 37 inclusive. The recommendations were individually discussed but acted upon at one time. (The record of board action appears at the end of each item.)
