Amendment of Contract with Capital Development Board for Repair of Peoria School of Medicine Roof Surface, Medical Center

(16) On May 21, 1981, the Board of Trustees approved a recommendation to contract with the Capital Development Board for the removal and replacement of the roof of the laboratory portion of the Peoria School of Medicine and for the investigation of the condition of the other roof areas at a cost not to exceed $66,000. The Capital Development Board has completed the removal and replacement of the laboratory roof and the investigation of the other roof areas, and reports that the major roof area over the library, classrooms, and offices, although experiencing some leaks, has not failed; it recommends that some repair work be undertaken at this time to prevent further deterioration. The cost of the work is estimated to be $15,000. There is an unencumbered balance in the original contract of $3,850 which would require the University to provide an additional sum of approximately $11,150 to finance the repairs recommended. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the contract with the Capital Development Board be amended to include the above repair work and to increase the amount of the contract by approximately $11,150. T h e Capital Development Board will continue to pursue its contractual rights under the original contract for the Peoria School of Medicine and will reimburse the University from any proceeds which may result from those efforts. Funds are available in the FY 1982 institutional fund budget of the Medical Center campus.

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

Recision of Authorization to Lease Easter Seal Building, Chicago

(17) On November 19, 1981, the Board of Trustees authorized the lease, with option to purchase, of the National Easter Seal Building at 2023 West Ogden, Chicago, from the Easter Seal Society for use by the combined Chicago campuses' personnel services office. The Board of Directors of the Easter Seal Society considered the proposed lease at its meeting in November. T h a t board decided to retain the building for use as the offices for the society and to reject the proposed lease to the University. T h e executive vice president has recommended recision of the November 19 authorization. I concur.
