The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development
has forwarded the official loan agreement for $3,000,000 to
be used for the dormitory at Oakland University. The following
resolution was prepared in accordance with Federal requirements
and approved by the University attorney:
RESOLUTION APPROVING AND PROVIDING FOR THE EXECUTION OF
A LOAN AGREEMENT, AND NUMBERED CONTRACT NO. H(402)-2944,
BY AND BETWEEN THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY
AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Trustees of Michigan State
University, having charge and management of Oakland University,
as follows:
SECTION 1. The pending Loan Agreement and numbered contract
No. H(402)-2944, and relating to the erection on the campus
of Oakland University, a public educational institution of
higher learning located in Rochester, Michigan, of a new dormitory
to provide housing and appurtenant facilities for approximately
676 students and 2 supervisors, called the "Project"
in said Loan Agreement, by and between the Board of Trustees
of Michigan State University having charge and management
of Oakland University and the United States of America, is
hereby in all respects approved.
SECTION 2. The Vice President for Business and Finance of
Michigan State University is hereby authorized and directed
to execute the said Loan Agreement in two counterparts on
behalf of the Board of Trustees of Michigan State University
and the Secretary of the Board of Trustees of Michigan State
University is hereby authorized and directed to impress and
attest the official seal of Michigan State University on each
such counterpart and to forward two such counterparts to the
Department of Housing and Urban Development, together with
such other documents relative to the approval and execution
of such counterparts and to this Resolution as may be required
by the Government.
On motion by Mr. White, seconded by Mr. Merriman, it was
voted to approve the above resolution.
The Consumers Power Company will install a new gas regulator
station to service the Oakland campus and adjacent area, and
request a deed for a plot 200 feet by 200 feet, with the understanding
that if this ever ceases to be used for the original purpose
the title will revert to the University. The Power Company
has indicated a willingness to pay $10,000 as consideration
for the regulator station. It is recommended that the Board
authorize Mr. May and Mr. Carr to negotiate a contract covering
this deed.
On motion by Mr. Merriman, seconded by Mr. Harlan, it
was voted to authorize Chancellor Varner and the University
attorney to complete arrangements with the Consumers Power
Company looking toward a long-term lease on this proposed

for this stated purpose.

Communication from Chancellor Varner:
The Board authorized on May 18 that Oakland University make
a contract with McFadden Corp. in the amount of $23,980 for
the installation of bleachers in the west half of the gymnasium
in the Intramural Building. However, because the Board of
Trustees at its May meeting authorized the completion of the
Intramural Building, it has been decided to install bleachers
on the east wall of the gymnasium as well as the west wall.
In talking with our architect, O'Dell, Hewlett and Luckembach,
it seems wisest to ask the McFadden Corp. to do both the east
and west bleacher sections rather than open up the bidding
process again based on our previous difficulty in getting
bidders to bid on the west section. As a result of this recommendation,
the McFadden Corporation has been contacted, and they are
willing to follow the same specifications and install bleachers
on both ends of the gymnasium for a total cost of $46,510.
This is a reduction of $1,450 from the original bid for doubling
the order.
I would like to recommend that the Board authorize Oakland
University to place the bleacher order with the McFadden Company
for $46,510 and include it in the financing package arranged
for the Intramural Building construction as we discussed previously.
