BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[September 18

I n addition to the above easements reserved in the vacation ordinances, the City and the various utility companies will require new easements from the University so that certain utility lines can be relocated or routed over the site to accommodate the University's construction. For that portion of its fire alarm system that will be located in the University's utility tunnel, the City will require a license from the University. The locations of these new easements and licenses have been developed by the University's architects and engineers in cooperation with the City and each of the utilities involved. Also it may become desirable to grant new easements at the time the City and public utilities relinquish some of the areas covered by the vacation ordinances. The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend that, with respect to the portion of the Congress Circle Campus site now owned by the University, easements or licenses be granted to the city of Chicago for its water, sewer, and fire alarm lines, to Commonwealth Edison Company for its electric lines and access to its Vernon Park Substation, to Peoples Gas, Light, and Coke Company for its gas lines, and to Illinois Bell Telephone Company for its telephone lines. I concur and recommend adoption of the following resolution: Resolution Be It, and It Hereby Is Resolved by this Board of Trustees of The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, a public corporation of the State of Illinois, that the Comptroller and Secretary of this Corporation are authorized and directed to execute, acknowledge, and deliver in the name and on behalf of this Corporation such instruments of grant, conveyance, contract, or other documents as to them may seem necessary or desirable in order to grant to the grantees and for the purposes hereinafter designated, easements or licenses under, through, and across those parcels of real estate, located in the City of Chicago, County of Cook, and State of Illinois, conveyed to this Corporation by City of Chicago, a municipal corporation of the State of Illinois, ( a ) by a certain deed dated April 19, 1963, recorded May 3, 1963, with the Recorder of Deeds of Cook County, Illinois, as Document 18786647 and filed in the office of the Registrar of Titles, Cook County, as Document L R 2089129, and (b) by a certain deed dated July 18, 1963, recorded August 1, 1963, with the Recorder of Deeds of Cook County, Illinois, as Document 18871166. Said grantees and purposes are as follows: (1) City of Chicago, a municipal corporation of the State of Illinois for the purpose of accommodating its underground water, sewer and fire alarm system lines and facilities, together with appropriate access thereto; (2) Peoples Gas Light and Coke Company, an Illinois corporation, for the purpose of accommodating its underground gas lines and facilities, together with appropriate access thereto; (3) Commonwealth Edison Company, an Illinois corporation, for the purpose of accommodating its underground electric lines and facilities, together with appropriate access thereto, and for the purpose of providing said grantee suitable ingress and egress to said grantee's property adjoining or within said parcels of real estate; and (4) Illinois Bell Telephone Company, an Illinois corporation, for the purpose of accommodating its underground telephone lines and facilities, together with appropriate access thereto.

On motion of Mr. Pogue, the foregoing resolution was adopted by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Clement, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Page, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Swain, Mrs. Watkins, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. Dilliard, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Kerner.
