BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[June 16

Renewal of Contract with Valley Outpost Health Clinic Organization, Inc., Medical Center

(18) Since 1969 the Medical Center campus and the Valley Outpost Health Clinic Organization, Inc., have operated a clinic in the "valley" neighborhood — an area bounded by Ashland Avenue, Western Avenue, Roosevelt Road, and Sixteenth Street, populated principally by persons of low income. T h e Valley Outpost Health Clinic Organization, Inc. (established by the residents), and the University have entered into contractual arrangements to enable the University to deliver health care effectively in the neighborhood setting. The most recent contract was approved by the Board on June 18, 1975, and expires June 30, 1976. The Medical Center campus wishes to renew the contract for FY 1977, for an amount not to exceed $30,000 for services — including clinic publicity, community liaison and coordination, recruitment of residents for employment, and the transportation of patients and materials. 1 It is considered important that there be community involvement in the operation of the clinic, in order to deliver health care in the community in an effective manner. Funds are available in the University of Illinois Hospital Income Account. The Chancellor at the Medical Center has recommended renewal of this contract. The Vice President for Administration concurs. I recommend approval.

The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Conlon, Mr. Summers, Mr. Szegho; no, none. On motion of Mr. Hahn, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Lenz, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Neal, Mrs. Rader, Mrs. Shepherd, Mr. Velasquez; no, none; absent, Governor Walker.

Renewal of Contract for Administrative Computing Services to Be Provided the Illinois Community College Board

(19) On September 18, 1974, the Board of Trustees authorized the Consolidated Administrative Computer Center (CACC) to provide teleprocessing services to the Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) for the purpose of establishing and operating a management information system through the University's central computer facilities. A one-year renewal was authorized by the Board on July 16, 1975. Computer time-sharing has been accomplished primarily by means of two terminals in Springfield, Illinois, with access to the IBM 370/168 system located at the Roosevelt Road Building, Chicago. The Illinois Community College Board has requested that the agreement be extended through June 30, 1977. The agreement will provide for time sharing for ten hours per day, Monday through Friday, with no specific operational guarantee. (The support to ICCB will be on a "best-effort" basis.) Charges to ICCB for services through June 30, 1977, are estimated to be $30,000, based on University-wide administrative data processing rate for system usage. University charges will be revised by agreement of both parties to reflect changes in University equipment. The agreement may be terminated by either party upon thirty days' written notice. ICCB will provide terminals, modems, data access arrangements, and switchwork network service at the terminal end, with the CACC communications staff assisting in specifying the characteristics of such equipment.
