        C. Budget Adjustments.

        Mr Peterson reported certain budget adjustments which had been
approved by President Dickey and recommended that the amounts suggested
be appropriated from the unappropriated surplus of the General University
Budget to the various accounts recommended:

        Office of Coordinator of Planning and Research, which will take care
of Dr. Litkenhous' office, his assistant, secretary, and other expenses, the
sum of $31,650.00.

        For Office of the Dean of Men, for an assistant to the Dean of Men on
a ten-months basis $4,250.00.

        For Office of School Relations, Account 275-1 an increase of $400.00.

tion of secretary for Miss Chloe Gifford $3,600.00.

$2,000.00 for production of University films.

        For Southern Regional Training Program and Public Administration,

          The University and Educational Archives, Account 2370 to take care
of semi-monthly payroll, $ 300.00.

          For Announcements, Catalog, and General Printing, Account 220 for
additional printing cost,$ 3,500.00.

          For the Centennial History Account to take care of the salary of Charles
Talbert and secretary, $ 12,000.00.

          For University Honors Program, Account 180, $ 1,500.00.

          For the Office of Dean of Women, for salaries f or two additional
sorority housemothers $250.00.

          For Summer Science Institute to take care of miscellaneous expenses
including travel, secretarial help, and other items,a sum of $2,000.00.

          For the Physical Education Department, Account 650, for salary con-
nected with Dr. Seaton' s salary adjustment by going on a full -time basis in
the Department of Physical Education instead of continuing to coach Athletics
Track Team $1,500.00.

         Members of the Board asked some questions concerning the appro-
priation for the Coordinator of Planning and Research, Dr. E. E. Litkenhous,
and they were advised that Dr. Litkenhous was originally employed by the
University as consultant to the University on research and that he had never
been employed as Director of the SpLndletop Research Institute. The Chair-
man asked Dr. Chamberlain what was being done in regard to implementing
and activating the Spindletop Institute. Dr. Chamberlain advised that there
was some slight delay in getting this program underway. Dr. Litkenhous
was employed by the University during the year 1960-61 and was paid by the
University; however, Dr. Litkenhous spent much of his time in the interest of
the Spindletop Research Institute. The State of Kentucky did make available
during the year $22,000.00 to repay the University for expenses incurred by
Dr. Litkenhous.

         Members of the Committee being advised upon motion duly made,
seconded and carried, the Budget Adjustments were authorized and approved.


         D. Central Bank Named Depository.

         Mr. Peterson explained that in carrying out the rotation program
authorized by the Board of Trustees in 1960, it was necessary to pass a reso-
lution certifying that the Central Bank, Lexington, had been designated as
depository for certain funds. He recommended that the Board authorize the
resolution required by the bank, signed on behalf of the University.

         Members of the Committee, being familiar with type of resolutions
required by banks for corporate bodies, upon motion duly made, seconded and
carried, authorized the resolution approved and signed.


         E. Request of State Highway Department.

         Mr. Peterson explained that the State Highway Department is in the
process of building a new highway by the Robinson Substation, Quicksand in




 





4



Breathitt County, and it would be necessary to take six or seven acres of
land and also to move and reconstruct certain buildings, water tank and
drill a new well to replace existing facilities that wi ll be affected if the
request of the highway is complied with. Mr. Peterson explained that the
University is willing to cooperate with the Highway Department and make
the land available for the going rate of this type of land and also to permit
the buildings to be moved and reconstructed, but there was some difference
of opinion as to the cost involved. The Highway Department has had ap- -
praisors working on the problem and they appraised the amount to be about
$16,000.00. The University does not desire to make any money out of the
dealbutthey do desire to have the buildings moved and reconstructed, the
water tank reconstructed and a well drilled at no cost to the University. The
Highway Department will be given an opportunity to either move and pay for
these facilities or reimburse the University to the extent that it can pay for
the work involved.

         The State Highway Department has filed suit, a friendly action we
think, to ascertain what are the University rights in regard to deeding a
certain portion of the Robinson Substation land acquired from the Trustees
of the Robinson Foundation. When this is decided it will probably give the
parties involved the answer sought. The Attorney General has been apprais-
ed of the situation, and an answer has been filed in the suit. This informna-
tion is being brought to the Executive Committee for their information.

          J. Discussion of Retirement Plan and Study of Committee Report.

          Mr. Peterson stated that the Board of Trustees more than a year
ago had taken up the matter of a retirement plan for the University of Ken-
tucky. After much discussion, President Dickey appointed a Retirement Plan
Study Committee as follows: John C. Ball, Vincent E.. Nelson, RalphR.Pickett,
David A. Sheets, M. Rodman Sullivan, Donald L. Sproul 1, and George R.
Kavanaugh. Chairman. The Committee has made a report, copies of the
report having been mailed to members of the Executive Committee and others.

          Mr. Peterson stated that he was willing to discuss the Retirement
Plan as recommended by the Study Committee. He then told the Committee that
the recommended Retirement Plan for the University of Kentucky is a Funded




 






9



Annuity Retirement Plan.


       1. It is a funded retirement annuity plan.

       2. The TIAA.-CREF type of annuity is recommended as its character-
          istics are specifically applicable to colleges and universities. One
          benefit is that it permits faculty and staff to change fr om one insti-
          tution to another and yet build. up a retirement program.

       3. The retirement plan is designed for all full-time employees, and
          mandatory as employees become eligible to participate. By having
          one plan for all employees, both Groups I and 1, faculty and staff
          will receive retirement benefits on a uniform basi s.

      4. The premium payments to the funded annuity are j ointly shared by
         employee and employer on a percentage basis as determi.ned, the
         entire amount accruing to the benefit of the employee and available
         to him, according to the terms of the chosen option of payment, at
         the time of retirement. Retirement benefits are thus recognized
         as a social obligation by both employer and employee.

      5. The funded plan, by premium payments over a period of 30 or more
         years, is designed to purchase at retirement age an annuity payable
         monthly equal to approximately 50% of salary at retirement.

      6. The combination of the "fixed" purchase type of annuity 'TIAA) and
         the "variable" type of annuity (College Retirement Equities Fund)
         should bring maximum benefits to the employee at retirement.
         The fixed type of annuity is designed for stability, a relatively
         "fixed" return on premiums paid into the plan; whereas CREF, the
         "variable" type of annuity, the premiums to thi s plan being invest-
         ed in equities (or common stock), will fluctuate with the national
         economy as affected by inflation or deflation.

      7. The cost of the new plan can be determined annually and budgeted in
         the amount required to pay the institution' s part of the total pre-
         miums. There will be no accumulation of future liability for retire-
         ment benefits as at the present under the "change-of-work" pro-
         gram. In other words, the c. ost of the new retirement plan will be
         paid currently.

      8. The recommended retirement plan is to replace the present
         "change-of-work" program. All new personnel will enter the new
         annuity program and receive retirement benefits solely on benefits
         derived therefrom. All present employees under 65 years of age
         will enter this plan and make contributions t o it, but will be pro-
         tected as to total retirement pay by the present "change-of-work"
         policy. The purpose is to make an orderly transition from the pres-
         ent retirement program of the University into the funded retire-
         ment plan without financial loss of retirement benefits to present
         personnel. The "change-of-work" payment (which is recommended
         henceforth as a "pension") will be lessened by whatever retirement
         benefit is butt up by premiums paid to the new program.

           Mr. Peterson caLed attention to the fact -hat the Committee is
 recommending two groups at the University. Group one includes the
 feaching and administrative Staff of the University and group two includes
 the office personnel Clerical, secretarial, maintenance and service). He
 explained that this is a compulsory retirement system for all eligible
 persons.- He stated that group one would make individual contributions of
 5% of their salary and the Institution would match this with a 10% contribu-
 tion; for group two the UJntverg.;ty would make a contfibuti on of 3% and the
 Institution would contribute 7%. He stated that the calculations of the amount
 required to put the system into effect were.bas:dupona six and one-half mil-
 lion dollar payroll and that it would be necessary to have a fund of about
 $436,000.00 to take care of the faculty and administrative off icers and a fund
 of about $124,000.00 to take care of the non-academic employees referred to
 in the program. Other discussions ensued and various members of the Com-
 mittee felt that this was a tezhnical matter and that further study should be
 given to the report and brought to the attention of the full Board of Trustees
 at iLts -next meef-ng.

          Mr. Peterson stated that the report of the Committee envisions a
retirement system that would cover both group one and group two. He report-
ed that Mr. Clifford Smith read the report and felt that further study should
be given to whether or not group two which includes the office, clerical, and
secretarial, maintenence and service personnel would be put under the State
Retirement System as state employees. Mr. Peterson stated that he had
done some checking with President Dickey and others and they were of the
opinion that the personnel at the University would very much desire to be
included in one program.

          Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, it was suggested that
President Dickey and the Chairman of the Executive Committee of this meet-
ing, Dr. Ralph Angelucci, call on Governor Combs and ask him to appoint a
committee of the Board of Trustees to study this report as made by the Com-
mittee and be able to make a recommendation to the full Board of Trustees at
its next meeting which will probably be in September.
