Requests for Operating and Capital Appropriations, Fiscal Year 1982

(7) As president of the University of Illinois I submit requests herewith for incremental operating and capital funds, and for new appropriations for the Food Production Research Program (Food for Century I I I ) for FY 1982, as shown in the following tables. (Copies, of the complete budget documents are filed with the secretary of the board for record.) The request for incremental operating funds for FY 1982 totals $47,995,700 and comprises the programs outlined in Tables 1 and 2. This request differs only very slightly from the "Level 3 Alternative" presented to the Board of Trustees at the July meeting. 1 Differences are due to technical changes involving operations and maintenance funding for new areas. In addition to the amounts shown in Table 1, a request for $27,953,600 for the statutory increment for retirement funding for FY 1982 is also included in the University's request. The FY 1982 request for incremental capital funds has two major components: 1. requests for "regular" capital projects, which total $29,175,600 as shown in Table 5; 2. requests for energy-related projects which include alternative energy resource projects totaling $8,859,700 as shown in Table 3, and energy conservation projects which total $11,833,400 as shown in Table 6. The regular capital budget request differs from that presented to the Board of Trustees in July, in that funding is now being requested in FY 1982 for construction of the Library Sixth Stack Addition. Final action on the FY 1981 capital appropriation bill resulted in a planning appropriation for this project rather than the full amount needed to construct the facility. The FY 1981 request for incremental capital funds for the Food Production Research Program (Food for Century I I I ) is shown in Table 4. This request has been altered from the one presented in July to reflect cost estimates which are more current than those available at that time. The only programmatic change is the expansion of the remodeling of the vacated Veterinary Medicine Building for agriculture planning request to include planning for a new addition to the facility. Finally, the priority of the Veterinary Medicine Research Farm Complex was changed from number 6 to number 4 to better reflect the urgency of this project. These requests have been prepared by the executive vice president based upon recommendations of the University Planning Council,' the chancellors of the three campuses, and the president of the University.

1 In May, June, July, and September 1980, the Board of Trustees, meeting as a Committee of the Whole, received and evaluated reports on the budget. 3 The members of the University Planning Council for 1979-80 were as follows: Ronald W. Brady, executive vice president, chairman; Harlan D. Bareither, senior associate vice president for administration, secretary; I, E.

Ward, vice chancellor for administration, Chicago Circle and acting vice chancellor for administrative services, Medical Center; Donald F.
