(17) The President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends entering into a lease with the University of Illinois Foundation for a clinic and office facility for the Belvidere Community Health Center of the Rockford School of Medicine. The lease is for a building, which will be constructed by the Foundation, consisting of 8,500 gross square feet with parking and other site improvements. The lease will cover the period from the time the Foundation has completed the construction of the facility (estimated to be May of 1976) until June 30, 1976, with an option to the University to renew the lease annually. The annual rental cost will be $53,300. The University will operate the center and will be responsible for all costs of operation and maintenance except for property insurance and real estate taxes. Funds for rental and operation and maintenance are available in the Medical Service Plan of the College of Medicine. T h e s t u d e n t advisory vote w a s : Aye, M r . Conlon, M r .

Transfer of Land to the Medical Center District, Medical Center

(18) On April 16, 1975, the Board of Trustees approved of a plan proposed jointly by the Medical Center Commission and the University to create a minipark in West Polk Street between Ashland Avenue and the service drive east of the student/staff apartments. The park, which will include the setting for the marble statue of Hippocrates presented to the University by Mr. Andrew Fasseas, Chicago, will be constructed by the Medical Center Commission with funds appropriated to it. It is necessary, therefore, that the land now owned by the University upon which the construction will occur be transferred to the Medical Center Commission and that certain easements on adjacent land be granted to facilitate the construction activity. When the construction is completed by the Commission, the easements will terminate and the Commission may reconvey to the University the property now proposed to be conveyed by the University and the other property comprising the minipark. Accordingly, the President of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the Board adopt the following resolution authorizing the transfer of the land required and authorizing the use of such adjacent land as may be necessary for construction purposes during the construction of this project.
