Settlement of Delinquent Rental Agreement, Medical Center (11) The President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends a settlement of an obligation due from the Planned Parenthood Association, Chicago Area. In July 1975 a letter of understanding was executed between the Planned Parenthood Association and the University which specified an annual rental of $32,530 for the use of designated space at 1919 West Taylor Street, Medical Center campus, and certain laboratory tests. No payments have been received under the original agreement, primarily because grant support to the association has been reduced significantly. There is currently a dispute as to the amount due under the agreement, since, in an attempt to minimize debt, the association stopped ordering laboratory tests. It is recommended that the claim be settled for the sum of $16,265 plus the transfer from the association of twelve air conditioners. The association is satisfied with the terms of this agreement and will vacate University premises by February 15, 1977. O n motion of M r . Livingston, this recommendation was approved. Purchases (12) The President submitted, with his concurrence, a list of purchases recommended by the Directors of Purchases and the Vice President for Administration. The list of purchases was presented in two categories: purchases from appropriated funds (i.e., from state appropriations to the University) and purchases from institutional funds. The latter term designates funds received by the University under contracts with the United States government, private corporations, and other organizations; grants from foundations, corporations, and other donors; and University revolving funds authorized by law. The total amounts of these purchases were: From Appropriated Funds Recommended $ 50 694 79 From Institutional Funds Recommended 458 251 02 Grand Total $508 945 81 A complete list of the purchases, with supporting information, including the quotations received was sent to each member of the Board in advance of the meeting, and a copy is being filed with the Secretary of the Board for record.
