BOARD O F TRUSTEES Revision of FY 1978 Capital Request

[December 15

(1) O n September 15, 1976, the Board of Trustees approved a capital request for FY 1978 in an amount of $56,115,990, with the knowledge that the first twenty-six projects h a d been vetoed by gubernatorial action on the capital budget request for F Y 1977, and with the understanding that, if not restored by the legislature, the projects would be reviewed and a revised request submitted. The restoration has not been successful, and a second review of the 1978 capital request has been made by each campus and by the University Planning Council. T h e result has been a recommendation for a reduction in the request — from $56,115,990 to $46,195,166. T h e major reason for the reduction is the deferral of two building requests at the Urbana-Champaign campus — Engineering Library Stack Addition and the L a w Building Addition — deferred because of timing problems created by the veto of planning funds in the FY 1977 request During the review, some vetoed projects were combined with those in the 1978 request, and all 1977 projects were escalated to 1978 costs. T h e net result was that the Chicago Circle campus request was changed from $12,775,128 to $12,744,420, the Medical Center campus request was changed from $16,731,019 to $17,277,946, and the Urbana-Champaign campus request was changed from $26,609,843 to $16,172,800. A "Summary of the Revised FY 1978 Capital Budget Request by Campus and Category" and a "Revised List of Capital Projects for FY 1978 in Priority Order" follow.
