LEASE OF HEADQUARTERS OFFICE FOR THE DIVISION OF SERVICES FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN (23) The Division of Services for Crippled Children has need to increase the central office staff during the coming fiscal year as a result of increasing dimensions and complexity of program operations, in part resulting from recent changes in the Social Security Act. There is not sufficient space in the present building to house the required additional staff. Adequate housing which permits expansion and provides maximum flexibility and efficiency in utilization of space has been located in the lies Park Place complex situated at the southeast corner of Sixth and Ash Streets in the city of Springfield. The Director of the Division of Services for Crippled Children, the Chancellor at the Medical Center, and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend authorization of a lease with the Illinois National Bank of Springfield, Illinois, for 5,850 square feet of space in the lies Park Place complex at an annual rental of $26,325, to be paid in monthly installments of $2,193.75, effective for the period July 1, 1967, through June 30, 1969, with an option to renew on a biennial basis. Funds for the rental are available in the operating budget of the Division of Services for Crippled Children. I concur.
