MINUTES OF THE MEETING
of the
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
May 15, 1968
At the last Trustees meeting the Board authorized a tentative
budget. The House Ways and Means Committee has increased the
appropriation for Michigan State University by $208,788 and
for Oakland University by $480,141. It is assumed that this
bill will pass the House, and it will then undoubtedly go
to a conference committee.
Mr. Earl Cress and Mr. Broushek of the Ann Arbor Trust Company
met with the Finance Committee and presented the following
recommendations for the financing of the projects at Oakland
University costing a total of $1,250,000 that have not as
yet been permanently financed.
a. Purpose
1) Completion of lower level of the Sports & Recreation
Building, installation of bleachers, scoreboards and lockers;
playfields and tennis courts.
2) Construct, furnish and equip new Health Center which
will include 22 beds in addition to out-patient treatment
facilities, administrative offices, examination rooms, treatment
rooms and a small apartment for a resident nurse.

Communication from Chancellor Varner to Mr. Herman Siewert,
the long-time gardner for Mrs. Wilson:
This letter is to confirm the agreement we made when I
visited with you at your home last Sunday evening,
I understand from Mr. Meredith that you plan to terminate
your work at the greenhouse on February 15, and our people
will prepare to take over the management on that date.
We have agreed that you and Mrs. Siewert may continue
to live in your house at 415 Adams Road for as long as either
of you live. It is our agreement that we will ask you to
pay no rent but that there shall be no expense to the University
in your living there. In other words, if the furnace must
be repaired, the septic tank renovated, or any other improvement
or maintenance on the place, this is to be your (p.319)
expense. Further, if any taxes are to be assessed
against this property, these taxes will be paid by you.
It seemed only appropriate that you should be able to continue
to live the rest of your lives in this home since you are
the only ones to occupy it and because you have given such
long and faithful service to Mrs. Wilson. We hope you will
feel free to drop by and visit from time to time. We also
hope you will share with us the background which you have
acquired over these many years.
