EXECUTIVE SESSION On motion of Mr. DiUiard, an executive session was ordered, to be held after luncheon, for consideration of matters relating to property acquisitions and personnel. The Board recessed for luncheon. The Board reconvened at 2:00 p.m. All members of the Board, and officers of the University as recorded at the beginning of these minutes, were present, with the exception of Mr. Swain who asked to be excused. The Board considered the following reports and recommendations from the President of the University. ACQUISITION O F PROPERTY AT l O S NORTH ROMINE STREET, URBANA (1) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend the purchase of the property at 106 North Romine Street, Urbana, at a price of $32,500, the appraised value, as a site to provide for the expansion oi the Digital Computer Laboratory. The property consists of a lot 72y4 feet by 100 feet and a two-story and bawment frame residence which has been used as a student rooming house, Tlw building is in such a poor state of repair that renovation of it for University use -would not be justified. It is proposed to remove the building and use the lard as a parking lot until it needs to be taken over for the expansion of the Digital Computer Laboratory. The University has been trying to acquire this property since 1955 but until now the asking price was $45,000, which was considered excessive. The owner has recently expressed an interest in selling at a price based on an appraised valje. Submitted herewith is a copy of the letter written to the owner specifying the terms of the purchase and a copy is being filed with the Secretary of the Board for record. I concur in the recommendation for the purchase of this property on the terms indicated, subject to the availability of funds. The proposal was presented to the Committee on Buildings and Grounds on June 21 and the Committee is prepared to support this recommendation. On motion of Mr. Johnston, the purchase of this property on trie terms recommended was authorized, subject to availability of funds. This action was taken by the following vote: Aye, Mr, Clement, Mr. DiUiard, Mr. Harewood, Mr, Hughes, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Pogue, Mrs. Watkins, Mr. Wilkins, Mr, Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. Kerner.
