C O N T R A C T WITH OZARK AIR LINES FOR U S E O F UNIVERSITY O F ILLINOIS A I R P O R T (31) T h e Ozark Air Lines has had a contract with the University Airport which has provided for the two-year period ended June 30, 1957, and the Ozark Air Lines paid to the University the following charges: 1. Landing fees $360 per month or two per cent of the "on line" revenue, whichever is greater, for up to fifteen flights daily. 2. Rental of office space at $75 per month. 3. Payment of the salary of a lineman at $335 per month. 4. Gasoline sales at cost plus a handling charge of four cents per gallon. This contract expired as of June 30, 1957. In view of the possibility that a new Administration Building may be constructed at the University Airport, the Director of the Institute of Aviation recommends that the present contract terms with one change be continued on a month-to-month basis until the University is in a position to negotiate a contract which will be based upon the new facilities. The change is an increase to $390 for the salary of the lineman. Ozark Air Lines has indicated their agreement to this procedure with the understanding that they may wish to discontinue the services of the lineman later in the year. Accordingly, the Director of the Institute of Aviation and the VicePresident and Comptroller recommend that the present contract arrangements be continued on a month-to-month basis until the plans for the new Administration Building are more definitely known, but not to be continued for more than a year on this basis.

On motion of Mr. Bissell, this contract was awarded, and the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board were authorized to execute the same.
