(12) The Seventy-sixth General Assembly declared the Burrill Hall Building Addition at the Urbana-Champaign campus to be in the public interest and thereby indicated the funding of this project could be accomplished by the Illinois Building Authority. The declaration also provides that the cost of any specific project can exceed the amount set forth so long as the aggregate amount stated therein to be financed by the Authority for the University is not exceeded. The Illinois Building Authority Act contemplates that a transfer of jurisdiction of the property on which the project is to be constructed will be made to the Authority and that the lease agreement between the Authority and the University will be executed, providing for the construction of the specified project by the Authority and its use by the University. Funds for the payment of rental to the Authority during the current fiscal year are available in state appropriations to the University. The President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends adoption of the following resolutions authorizing the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board of Trustees to make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver the necessary lease, instrument of transfer, and other documents between the University and the Illinois Building Authority to accomplish the purposes stated. On July 23, 1969, the Board of Trustees authorized the employment of Fugard, Orth & Associates, Inc., Chicago, for architectural services for the construction of this project at a fee of seven per cent of the actual cost of construction including supervision. It is further recommended that authorization be given for the assignment of the architectural contract with Fugard, Orth & Associates, Inc., to the Illinois Building Authority.
