704 BOARD OF TRUSTEES O n motion of Mr. Johnston, the Board rescinded its action of M a r c h 20 authorizing condemnation proceedings for the acquisition of this property, and authorized its purchase at a price of $25,000; this action was taken by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Clement, Mr. Dilliard, M r . Hughes, M r . Johnston, M r . Page, M r . Pogue, M r . Swain, M r s . Watkins, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, M r . Kerner. AIRPORT IMPROVEMENTS (3) The Federal Aviation Agency has indicated its interest in proceeding with the installation of an Instrument Landing System (ILS) on the NW/SE runway at the University of Illinois-Willard Airport. This installation can be on land within Airport boundaries, or on land which the F.A.A. has under lease. The ILS installation will be at no cost to the University since it is a part of the improvements to the Interstate Airways System. The estimated investment of $165,000 will improve the safety facilities of the Airport in bad weather. The F.A.A. policy is to install Approach Lighting Systems (ALS) with an Instrument Landing System wherever practicable. The Agency requests, as a part of its proceeding with the ILS system, that the University formally express its intention of acquiring necessary property rights to permit the ALS installation eventually. The rights needed are approximately nineteen acres of fee title and avigation easements over approximately one hundred and fifteen acres, all land lying off the east and west ends of the N W / S E runway. It is anticipated that the University will soon receive $39,000 from the federal government for its share of the cost of property acquisition in extending the N / S runway. These funds should be adequate to provide for the additional property rights necessary for the ALS installation. The Director of the Institute of Aviation recommends that the University: (a) request that the NW/SE runway be designated as the instrument runway and, (b) assure the Federal Aviation Agency that it is the intention of the University, subject to statutory and constitutional limitations binding upon it and to the availability of funds which may lawfully be used for such purpose, to proceed to acquire the necessary land and/or avigation rights on the NW/SE runway to meet the requirements for an instrument runway and provide facilities for an Approach Lighting System. I concur. O n motion of M r . Swain, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, M r . Clement, Mr. Dilliard, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Page, Mr. Pogue, M r . Swain, M r s . Watkins, M r . Williamson; no, none; present but not voting, Mr. Johnston; absent, Mr. Kerner. A t this point, on motion of Mr. Dilliard, the executive session was extended for consideration of personnel matters; and all University personnel, except members of the Board of Trustees, officers of the Board, the President, the Executive Vice-President and Provost, and the Legal Counsel of the University were excused from the meeting. A t the request of Mr. Pogue, the President and Executive VicePresident and Provost reviewed certain administrative decisions relating to the status of faculty and administrative personnel. Following this review and discussion, it was the consensus of the Board that no matter of Board policy was involved. O n motion of M r . Williamson, the Board adjourned. A. J. J A N A T A HOWARD W. CLEMENT Secretary President
