AGREEMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN URBANA AND CHAMPAIGN SANITARY DISTRICT EXPANSION PROGRAM (14) The Urbana & Champaign Sanitary District has requested the University to share in the cost of constructing interception sewer mains. 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, which is being financed from a bond issue (approved by the voters of the district in November, 1965) ; from a federal g r a n t ; and from anticipated University contributions. One of the projects of this program which benefits the University is the construction of an Embarrass River outlet sewer main at a total estimated cost of $118,000. Based on the percentage factor used to determine the University's share of the cost of improvements and the operation of the Sanitary District as it directly affects the University (18.48789 per cent), the estimated cost to the University for this improvement project is $22,000. Funds are available in state capital appropriations to the University, subject to release by the Governor. Accordingly, the President of the University, with the concurrence of the 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 this cost. 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 .

T h e contract further states that the total payment for service on any specific project shall not exceed $10,000, unless prior authorization is given by the Board of Trustees. The President of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends an addition to this contract in an amount not to exceed $20,000 for complete architectural and engineering services for remodeling space in the Racine Avenue Building, Chicago Circle, to accommodate the Office of Admissions and Records. Funds are available in state capital appropriations to the University for 1967-69 and have been released. O n m o t i o n of M r .
