Amendment to Agreement for Use of Urbana City Landfill

(11) The President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends authorization, subject to funds being made available by the Capital Development Board, to amend the "Agreement Concerning Cost of Operations of the City Dump of Urbana, Illinois," with the city of Urbana, to provide for a payment of $23,340 to the city as the University's share of the costs of expanding the landfill area and to provide soil for cover. This payment would be in the same proportionate share (30 percent) as is now being made under the terms of the agreement with the city for the net costs of operation of the present landfill area. T h e city of U r b a n a has purchased approximately twenty-four acres of land adjoining the present grounds at a cost of $77,800 for operations. T h e University will share in the same proportion in any payment ultimately received from the later sale or other disposition by the city of the property for other use. Funds have been appropriated to the Capital Development Board of the State of Illinois for this project a n d have been released by the Governor.
