1018 BOARD OF TRUSTEES plaintiff claimed as due the total sum of $32,636.21 (which included $24,473.13 for alleged extra work) under the terms of a contract entitled "AGREEMENT OWNER-ARCHITECT" dated October 17, 19o2, through which the plaintiff was employed by the University to furnish architectural services in connection with Civil Engineering Phase I at the Urbana-Champaign campus. Pursuant to motions filed by the Board of Trustees, this case was transferred to the Circuit Court of Champaign County, Illinois (Case No. 67-L-22). Negotiations with A. Epstein & Sons, Inc., have resulted in a proposed settlement of this controversy on the following terms : 1. That The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois pay to A. Epstein & Sons, Inc., the total sum of $8,163.08 (the balance due under the original contract) as settlement in full of all claims made by the plaintiff in the aboveentitled suit. 2. That A. Epstein & Sons, Inc., secure the dismissal of Case No. 67-L-22 with prejudice. 3. That each of the parties to said litigation release the other from any claims which either might presently have against the other under the original contract; provided, however, that each of the parties retains against the other all rights for reimbursement or contribution for any damages which either might suffer as a result of any other legal proceedings initiated by third parties and growing out of the construction of the Civil Engineering Building Phase I. The proposed settlement has been approved by officials of the Illinois Building Authority and funds are available from the project budget. The Legal Counsel, the University Director of Physical Plant Planning and Construction, and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend that a settlement of this litigation be authorized on the basis outlined above. I concur. O n motion of Mr. Hahn, this recommendation was approved on the condition that A. Epstein & Sons, Inc., not be released from its normal professional responsibilities with respect to those professional services actually furnished in connection with this project. T h e President then presented informal reports for the information of the Trustees with regard to personnel items, including those related to the awarding of honorary degrees; and a property acquisition matter relating to a performing arts center at Chicago Circle.
