EXECUTIVE SESSION

When the Board reconvened, the same members of the Board, officers of the Board, and officers of the University as recorded at the beginning of these minutes were present. The Board considered the following recommendations from the President of the University.

EXCHANGE OF LAND WITH HILLEL FOUNDATION TO FACILITATE CONSTRUCTION OF PARKING STRUCTURE. URBANA (29) The University is proceeding with planning for construction of Phase I of the parking structure to be located on a portion of the block bounded by John, Sixth, Daniel, and Fifth streets, Champaign. The phasing of this project contemplates the construction of two structures in Phase I, one in the northeast corner and one in the southwest corner of this block. Phase II anticipates construction of one structure on the southeast corner of this block subject to completion of negotiation for acquisition of this site. T o facilitate the construction of the structure in the southwest corner of the site, it has been recommended by the architects that it would be to the University's benefit to exchange certain parcels of land with the Hillel Building Fund, Inc. •— Hillel Foundation — which owns an irregular shaped lot on the northwest corner of the block. T h e University has met with representatives of Hillel and has offered to exchange a strip of University-owned land of approximately 20 feet by ninety-nine feet for a strip of land of approximately the same size at the rear of the Hillel property with no compensation to either the University or Hillel. The Hillel Board is agreeable to this offer to exchange, subject to the approval of their national board.
