BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[January 17

The fee for these services to be on the basis of reimbursement of actual salaries of technical personnel assigned to this project plus 100 percent for overhead and commission. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r . S w a i n , t h i s r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s a p p r o v e d . EMPLOYMENT O F E N G I N E E R S FOR AERIAL MAPPING (19) Accurate topographic maps are helpful as basic planning tools in studies of long-range campus planning, particularly site selection and development. Partial topographic surveys are available for certain areas of the main campus but there are many gaps which do not permit large area or block studies for effective planning, including land acquisition, site selection, drainage, road improvements, and extension of utilities. Additional maps are particularly needed in planning expansion south of Florida Avenue as adequate maps for that area do not exist. The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend employment of the Chicago Aerial Survey Division, Chicago Aerial Industries, Inc., Franklin Park, for preparation of aerial photographic topographic maps for the Urbana-Champaign campus, at an estimated cost of $18,930, based on unit prices. Their recommendation has been reviewed with and approved by the Committee on Aerial Photography and the Department of Civil Engineering, both having had considerable experience with aerial photographs for map making, and by the Advisory Committee on the Selection of Architects and Engineers. The Committee on Buildings and Grounds has also been consulted and approves the recommendation. Funds are available in the Physical Plant Department budget. I concur.

On motion of Mrs. Watkins, this recommendation was approved.

R E P O R T ON LAND ACQUISITIONS (20) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller submit the following report of property purchases authorized by the Board and completed since the last report (January 11, 1962). Land for Campus Expansion
