MINUTES OF THE MEETING
of the
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
April 20, 1967
Communication from Mr. Varner:
Our committee on the parking problem at Oakland University
has come forth with a belated report, but it is not yet clear
as to the precise course of action which they will propose
for the year ahead. Two things do emerge at this time, however:
1) We obviously must have additional parking facilities--about
800 new spaces next September--and 2) these must somehow be
paid for from some system of charges.
In view of the fact that that we need to move with minimum
delay, I would like to recommend that the Board authorize
us to proceed with the design work at this time and come back
to the Board of Trustees at the May Board meeting with a specific
plan of action. It is my guess that we will need to spend
about $160,000 to $175,000 on this project, and it is my expectation
that we can set up a system of charges which will cover about
one-fourth of the total amount per year. This will take care
of the current backlog we have and permit us to work out a
more orderly parking scheme in the years ahead.
On motion by Mr. Harlan, seconded by Dr. Smith, it was
voted to approve the above recommendation
It is recommended that the Board authorize an expenditure
of approximately $20,000 to make it it possible to complete
the air conditioning of North Foundation Hall.
On motion by Mr. Merriman, seconded by Mr. Harlan, it
was voted to approve the above item. Mr. Hartman and Mr.
White voted "no" on this item.
