REPORT OF THE LEASE FOR THE MAYO GENERAL HOSPITAL AT GALESBURG (18) On September 24, 1046 (Minutes, page 38), the Board authorized the President and the Comptroller of the Board of Trustees to execute the documents necessary to complete the transfer to the University of the land, buildings, equipment, and supplies constituting the Mayo General Hospital at Galesburg. The University took possession of the Mayo General Hospital on September 20, 1946, under an interim permit. A permanent lease has been drafted and is ready for execution. For the information of the Board, the following major provisions of this lease are reported: 1. For the consideration of one dollar, the University is entitled to exclusive possession of the property and agrees to operate and maintain it at its own cost and agrees on the termination of the lease to yield up and surrender the premises to the Government in as good order, condition, and repair as when received, ordinary wear and tear excepted. The University is liable to make repairs arising out of fire, windstorm, and such other hazards as may be covered by insurance. (See paragraph 2) 2. The University shall procure and maintain at its own cost for the entire term of the lease, insurance, such insurance to be payable to the Treasurer of the United States, on the leased premises for fire, windstorm, and extended coverage protection. This insurance coverage shall be secured in companies and in such amounts as shall be required by and be satisfactory to the Government. In the event of loss the proceeds of the insurance will be made available to the University. If it is determined that the cost of such repairs will exceed the amount of insurance proceeds, the Government will not require such repairs at a cost greater than the insurance proceeds. 3. The University will not allow the premises to be used for any other purposes than those specified in the lease, nor allow the premises to be occupied
