BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[September 21

The request for new operating funds of $34,106,600, presented in Table 1, varies from Alternatives I and II, contained in the preliminary budget request of July 20, 1977, by the addition of funds requested for: the Southside Education Programs in Chicago ($165,000), Cooperative Extension Service Programs ($85,000), and for the partial Operations and Maintenance of the Replacement Hospital ($1,052,900). Requirements for retirement contributions are estimated to be $48,834,300, or an increment of $27,890,400 for FY 1979 at "full-funding," and will be requested in documents transmitted to the Illinois Board of Higher Education. The funds requested for the capital budget, $37,135,541, as shown in Tables 2 and 3, reflect only minor cost estimate adjustments of the preliminary budget presented on July 20, 1977. The request for Food for Century Three projects is for $30,980,900, as described in Table 4, and varies from the preliminary budget by the addition of $25,000 required for the demolition of the Dairy Manufacturer's Building, which occupies the site of the projected Agricultural Engineering Sciences Building. This request has been prepared by the vice president for administration, based upon recommendations of (1) the University Planning Council, (2) the chancellors at the three campuses, and (3) the president of the University. The request has been reviewed and is recommended by the University Budget Committee.1 The Board of Trustees' approval of this request represents the endorsement of a list of high-priority items of expenditure which will improve the University and improve its service to the people. These documents become the basis for preparation and submission of detailed budget information to the Illinois Board of Higher Education for FY 1979. I recommend approval. The student advisory vote was: Aye, Miss Conlon, Mr. Overstreet, Miss Winter; no, none. On motion of Mr. Livingston, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Forsyth (with the exception of the capital budget recommendations with regard to the Stadium renovation and the Law Building Addition at Urbana), Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Lenz, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Neal, Mrs. Rader, Mrs. Shepherd, Mr. Velasquez; no, none; absent, Governor Thompson.
