LEASE OF QUARTERS AT 7 0 5 SOUTH SIXTH STREET, CHAMPAIGN (25) Space (Room 107) in a new business building at 705 South Sixth Street, Champaign (approximately 2,675 square feet), is available for lease at a rental rate of $8,316 per year for a five-year period. This area can be used to consolidate some of the functions of the Office of Admissions and Records and enable that office to administer the new GI Bill from that space. It will also provide some space relief for other administrative offices. The owner of the building is willing to remodel the space in accordance with the requirements of the Office of Admissions and Records and that cost of remodeling is included in the rental rate. It is recommended that the University of Illinois Foundation be requested to lease Room 107 in the building at 705 South Sixth Street at the above annual rate for the five-year period and sublease it to the University on a biennial basis contingent upon approval by the Board of Trustees. It is also recommended that the Board authorize the subleasing of the space from the University of Illinois Foundation at the indicated rental rate and that the rental become effective September 1, 1966, or as soon thereafter as the remodeling has been completed and the office space is available for occupancy. It is further recommended that $9,430 be assigned from the University General Reserve to pay the rental ($6,930) and for operation and maintenance ($2,500) from September 1, 1966, through June 30, 1967. Funds required beyond 1967 will be included in the annual operating budget of the Physical Plant Department. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r .
