[September 18

(The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Maltese, Mr. Peterson, Mr. Silverman; no, none.)

Lease of Space for School of Basic Medical Sciences, Urbana

(32) T h e president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends entering into an agreement to lease a total of 2,923 square feet of space in the property at 1408 W. University Avenue, Urbana, for a computer center for the School of Basic Medical Sciences for the period beginning October 1, 1980, through June 30, 1981, at a monthly rental of $2,009.56 (annual rate of $24,114.75). The University would have the option to extend the lease upon the same terms and conditions for five additional one-year periods except that the rental for the two-year period July 1, 1982, through June 30, 1984, would be at an annual rate of $24,845.50; and the period July 1, 1984, through June 30, 1986, would be at an annual rate of $25,576.25. It is further recommended that the comptroller and the secretary be authorized to exercise such options. T h e rental includes complete operation and maintenance of the facilities, except for telephone service. Funds for FY 1981 are available in institutional funds included in the Medical Center's operating budget of the School of Basic Medical Sciences at Urbana. The exercise of the options to renew the lease in future years will be subject to the availability of such funds. (Presently, the computer center of the school is housed in the Basic Medical Sciences Building. This space, involving 1,741 square feet, is needed for research purposes of the school, for which it was originally designed. The space to be leased is in the Regional Health Resource Center Building, which also has a computer facility. It is advantageous to the Medical Sciences program to locate this facility in this building because of the activities conducted in the building, and because it is centrally located between three major hospital facilities and the school. (The annual unit rate for leasing the space for the initial 21-month period is $8.25; for the next two years-—$8.50; and the following two years — $8.75. The lessor will remodel the space to the requirements of the University.)

On motion of Dr. Donoghue, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Dr. Donoghue, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Lenz, Mr. Neal, Mrs. Shepherd, Mr. Stone, Mr. Velasquez; no, none; absent, Governor Thompson. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Maltese, Mr. Peterson, Mr. Silverman; no, none.)

Conveyance of Land to John Wood Community College (West Central Illinois Agricultural Research and Demonstration Center)

(33) The Board of Trustees on November 18, 1978. approved the acquisition of a 258-acre farm in Pike County for an agricultural research and demonstration center in west central Illinois. On May 16, 1979, the board authorized an agreement with John Wood Community College for the conveyance of three acres on that farm to be used as the site for certain facilities of the college. The agreement was subject to receipt by the College of Capital Development Bond funds to finance facilities for the combined use of bath institutions and to passage of legislation authorizing the conveyance of the site. Subsequently, the General Assembly appropriated the funds and authorized the conveyance of the site. The college later determined that this site would not accommodate the proposed building and requested that the three acres to be conveyed be forty feet west of the original site. T h e College of Agriculture has determined that this change would not affect its use of the balance of the land and approved the request.
