CONTRACT FOR ELECTRICAL SERVICES FOR TELEVISION STUDIOS (12) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend authorization of an agreement with the Illinois Power Company for electrical services to the Television Studios at 1114 West Main Street, Urbana, at the standard Utilities Service Classification Rate No. 21, including Rider A. Service was originally initiated under a rate for which no formal contract was necessary. It has since been determined that the demand for electricity is such that a savings of approximately $100 per year can be effected by entering into the proposed contract. Funds for the annual estimated cost of $7,000 are available in the Physical Plant operating budget. I concur. On motion of Mr. Johnston, this contract was awarded by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Clement, Mr. Dilliard, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Page, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Swain, Mrs. Watkins, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. Jones, Mr. Kerner. CLOSED CIRCUIT TELEVISION FACILITIES FOR C H I L D R E N ' S RESEARCH CENTER (13) It is anticipated that closed circuit television facilities between the Herman M. Adler Clinic to be constructed by the State Department of Mental Health and the Children's Research Center to be constructed by the University will be desirable for research through the observation of activities in various buildings of the Clinic. The Illinois Bell Telephone Company will install television conduit and cable between the buildings at no cost to the University if the University issues a letter stating that it intends to lease the transmission facilities at the prevailing rates authorized by the Interstate Commerce Commission if and when closed circuit television equipment is installed. The Company will also install telephone cable at the same time without additional charge; however, if only telephone cable is installed, it must be done at University expense, so that the letter referred to will save the University an estimated $9,000 in the cost of the telephone cable. Installation of underground television cable by the University would cost an estimated $17,000 at this time; the cost would be higher after the buildings, landscaping, walks, and drives have been completed. The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend authorization of any necessary agreements at the appropriate time with the Illinois Bell Telephone Company for closed circuit television facilities. O n motion of Mr, Williamson, authority was given as requested; Mr. H u g h e s asked to be recorded as not voting.
