AGREEMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN URBANA & CHAMPAIGN SANITARY DISTRICT EXPANSION PROGRAM (29) T h e Urbana & Champaign Sanitary District has requested the University to share in the cost of expansion and improvement to the Northeast Sewage Treatment Plant on which construction is planned to start shortly after July, 1968, and which is estimated to be completed in the 1969-71 biennium. This improvement is part of an over-all plan to extend sewer mains and to increase the capacity of the treatment facilities of the Sanitary District. It is being financed by a bond issue approved by the voters of the District in November, 1965, from a federal grant, and from anticipated University participation. Based on the percentage factor used in the past to determine the University's share in the cost of improvements of direct benefit to the University, the estimated cost to the University for this project is $350,000. Funds are available in state capital appropriations to the Universitv for the 1967-69 biennium in the amount of $228,000. Additional funds estimated at $122,000 will be requested in the 1969-71 biennium. Accordingly, the President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the Board of Trustees authorize the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board to execute an agreement with the Urbana & Champaign Sanitary District providing for the payment of the University's share of the cost subject to the availability of funds. Submitted herewith is a report from the Physical Plant Department, a copy of which is being filed with the Secretary of the Board for record. O n m o t i o n of M r .
