EASEMENT TO ILLINOIS POWER COMPANY ACROSS ILLINOIS FIELD
(12) The Illinois Power Company has requested an easement across Illinois Field
to complete routing of a high pressure gas line needed to boost gas pressures to
give more dependable service including delivery to new residential areas in east
and southeast Urbana. This will also improve service to the University if it
develops future construction in this area. The Company will restore the land to
its original condition and will agree to relocate the line if relocation becomes
necessary because of University construction on Illinois Field.
The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller
recommend that this easement be granted. I concur and recommend adoption of
the following resolution:
Be It Resolved by the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, a public
corporation of the state of Illinois, that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the
Board of Trustees be, and they hereby are, authorized to execute, acknowledge,
and deliver in the name of and in behalf of this corporation, such instrument of
conveyance, contract, or other document or documents, as to them may seem
necessary or desirable, in order to effectuate a conveyance to Illinois Power
Company of a right of easement for so long as used for these purposes to install
and maintain a ten inch gas distribution main across Illinois Field, to connect with
a main along the south parkway of Main Street in Urbana, and with a main along
the south parkway of White Street in Champaign, the exact alignment and depth
of said main as it crosses Illinois Field to be within the discretion of the University's
Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds and said public corporation
reserving the right to require said Illinois Power Company to relocate said main
if it ever interferes with University construction or development work on said
premises.
On motion of Mr. Livingston, the foregoing resolution was
amended to include the following:
"provided, however, that Illinois Power Company agrees to
furnish the University with a connection to said gas distribution
main, at Illinois Power Company's expense, at any
time the University desires and requests said connection."
and the resolution, as thus amended, was adopted.
