3. Report of Plant and Property Committee Meeting of
August 16, 1965
Mr. Davis presented the minutes of the meeting as follows:
The Plant and Property Committee met in the Travis Lounge of
the Student Union building on August 16, 1965. Present were
Regents Anderson, Davis, Hug, Jacobsen, and Magee; Chancel-
lors Miller and Moyer, Vice President Humphrey, Mr. Pine,
Mr. Hancock of the State Planning Board, and Mr. Parsons,
architect for the Orvis School Nursing building.
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Jacobsen at
7:20 P.M.
1. NSU Dormitory - Dining Hall
Mr. Pine reported that bids on this project were opened
on August 4. The low base bid of $937,200 was $213,000
over the construction budget. The low bid after sub-
traction of all deductive alternates was $763,000, or
still $40,200 over the construction budget. Futhermore,
HHFA would not concur to the award of a contract with
all the deductive alternates subtracted. It is neces-
sary to either redesign the plans or to abandon plans
entirely and develop new ones.
Mr. Edward B. Hendricks, A. I. A., at the request of the
University of Nevada officials, has indicated that he
would be willing to accept a contract to redesign the
plans for the project and supervise inspection during
construction for a fee of 2.1% construction contract
cost (the amount remaining in the budget since 3.9% has
been paid to Knighton). Mr. Hendricks has said that
this would be acceptable provided that he could be
guaranteed the architectural contract on the second
Dormitory at 6%. It is estimated that 30 days will be
required to complete the redesign. Allowing time for
HHFA review and advertising, bids could be opened about
November 1, 1965. The construction period is seven
months; therefore, if this course of action is success-
ful, the facility could be occupied in time for the Fall
semester, 1966. It would be necessary for the State
Planning Board to concur in this arrangement since the
second Dormitory will be a State Planning Board project.
An alternate to the above action would be further study
by the staff to determine the feasiblity of adapting
University of California Dormitory plans now being used
on several University of California Campuses. Mr. Pine
and Mr. Humphrey reported visual inspection of one type
of construction (wooden) being build at Davis, but did
not recommend its use at NSU. They report that they are
now waiting to receive a set of plans for concrete
buildings which the University of California has indi-
cated that they are forwarding.
Mr. Humphrey further suggested that there is a possibil-
ity that plans for Nye Hall could be adapted to fit the
site of NSU.
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried with-
out dissenting vote that the bids for this project be
rejected and that this item be tabled until plans from
the University of California have been obtained and
studied by the staff and the feasibility of modifying
Nye Hall plans could also be studied. It was requested
that staff recommendations concerning this item be sub-
mitted to the Committee on August 23.
2. NSU Property Acquisition
A. Mr. Pine, Director of Physical Plant, reported on
the offer to trade certain parcels of land in Las
Vegas as approved by the Board of Regents, July 24,
stating that Mr. Gerald Leavitt has not responded
to the offer to trade as of August 16, 1965. Mr.
Pine recommended that no counter offer be made to
Mr. Leavitt at the present time.
B. Mr. Pine reported that a piece of property owned by
Mr. Muench south of Harmon and west of the uncom-
pleted road to the at west edge of the Campus had
been offered for sale to the University. He rec-
ommended that no offer be made at this time for
this piece of property.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
without dissenting vote that the above recommend-
ations be approved by the Committee and in turn
recommended to the Board for approval.
3. Orvis School of Nursing Building
Final plans and specifications have been reviewed by
Mr. Pine and his staff. Modifications were assured by
the Planning Board and the modified plans were submitted
to the Committee for consideration. Since the Commit-
tee, by earlier action of the Board, had been authorized
to approve final plans, the Committee was requested to
review and approve final plans as modified to enable
the project to be advertised for bids to be opened
September 10.
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried with-
out dissenting vote that the final plans be approved
as submitted and that the Chairman of the Board of
Regents be authorized to sign the necessary papers.
Action by the Board:
Motion by Dr. Lomardi, seconded by Mr. Magee, carried unani-
mously that the action of the Committee be confirmed by the
Board.
4. Chairman Anderson was requested by the Committee to
discuss further with Mrs. Orvis her plans to honor an
earlier commitment of Dr. Orvis providing financial
assistance in the construction of the Orvis School of
Nursing building.
5. Purchase of Land Adjacent to Nye Hall Site
Mr. Humphrey pointed out to the Committee that the
University has authority to purchase real property
without specific Legislative authorization by using
non-appropriated monies and by purchasing subject to
to a mortgage. The University cannot, however, borrow
money for this purchase. He presented the following
proposals which have again been made for the University
to purchase property adjoining the Nye Hall site.
A. Reno Ferretto is again offering for sale a single
family residence at 1201 N. Virginia Street and two
apartments located in a building facing Artemisia
Way and directly behind the residence. Mr. Ferretto
has indicated that he is subject to negotiation on
price and that his terms would be 25% down and the
the balance over a three to ten year period.
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried
without dissenting vote that Mr. Ferretto be noti-
fied that the Committee is not in a position to
negotiate with him at this time but that the situ-
ation may change before too long.
B. Mr. Bruce D. Roberts, representing Clayton Block,
has offered for sale certain property on Sierra
Street which adjoins the Nye Hall site and a mort-
gage arrangement is possible. This property has
not been appraised.
It was recommended that the two parcels farthest
south on Sierra Street belonging to Mr. Block be
appraised and that information concerning the ap-
praisal and availability of funds be presented to
the Plant and Property Committee with a specific
recommendation on September 17.
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried
without dissenting vote that Mr. Humphrey be auth-
orized to obtain an appraisal on the Block property
and bring the information to the next meeting of
this Committee so that negotiations can be made
with Mr. Block.
ACTION BY THE BOARD
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Grant, carried unani-
mously by roll call vote that the action of the Committee
become the action of the Board.
6. Proposed Change of Zoning near Reno Campus
Mr. Pine presented the proposed zoning changes as
follows:
A. #C-11-66R. 6 acres situated on NE corner of Valley
Road and Sadler Way, proposed to change from R-1
and R-2 to R-3. It is recommended that no protest
be made.
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried
without dissenting vote that the Committee recom-
mend to the Board of Regents that no protest be
made.
B. #C-12-66R. 3 acres south of Interstate 80 on W. 6th
Street at Canal Street, proposed to change from R-3
to C-2. It was recommended that, since this proper-
ty is beyond 300 feet from the University of Nevada
property and of no interest to the University, no
position be taken by the University.
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried
without dissenting vote that no position be taken
in this proposed zoning change.
C. #C-16-66R. Southwest corner of North Sierra and
Maple Streets, proposed change from R-5 to C-2. It
was recommended that since this property may also
be beyond the 300 foot distance from the University
of Nevada property and of no interest to the Univer-
sity, no protest be made.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
without dissenting vote that no position be taken
in this proposed zoning change.
D. #C-18-66R. West side of North Sierra Street between
10th and 11th Streets, proposed change from R-3 to
R-5. It was recommended that no protest be made to
this proposed zoning change, but that Mr. Pine be
requested to represent the University at the meeting
of the Regional Planning Commission to recommend
that there be a 10' setback on all property north
of 10th Street (with explanation to Regional Plan-
ning Commission as to the desirability for seeking
such a setback).
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried
without dissenting vote that the above recommenda-
tion be approved.
7. Anelli Property
Mr. Pine presented the description of the Anelli proper-
ty and stated that it did not include the complete area
which the University contemplated purchasing. There are
18.173 acres instead of 21 acres as originally indicat-
ed.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried with-
out dissenting vote that the State Planning Board be
requested not to negotiate for the remaining acres of
the Anelli property and that the money be held and ap-
plied to some other item approved by the Legislature.
It was further suggested that Mr. Hancock be asked to
report further to the Committee concerning the status
on this Master Plan at its meeting on September 17.
Action by the Board:
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried unani-
mously that the action of the Committee become the action of
the Board.
8. Stadium Parking Lot
Mr. Pine reported on the status of the Stadium Parking
Lot indicating that bids will be opened on September 1.
9. Evans Creek Dam
Mr. Pine reported that the Director of Public Works for
the City of Reno stated that the University of Nevada,
City of Reno, and the State Highway Department were
joint sponsors of the Evans Creek Dam and that the
Dam would probably be built within two years. There
was no action necessary on this, but Mr. Pine was in-
structed to report on this project again at the next
meeting of the Plant and Property Committee on August
23, 1965.
The meeting adjourned at 9:35 P.M.
4. Report of the Plant and Property Committee of August 23,
1965
Mr. Davis presented the minutes of the meeting as follows:
The Plant and Property Committee met in the Travis Lounge
of the Student Union building on August 23, 1965. Present
were Regents Anderson, Davis, Hug, Jacobsen and Lombardi;
Chancellors Miller and Moyer, Vice President Humphrey,
Mr. Pine, Mr. Hancock of the State Planning Board, and
Mr. Edward B. Henricks, A. I. A. (for a portion of the
meeting).
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Jacobsen at
7:35 P.M.
1. Nevada Southern University Dormitory - Dining
Mr. Pine reported that further study of the Dormitory -
Dining problem at Nevada Southern University had been
made.
A study of the California plans was made and the follow-
ing noted:
Residence Hall Unit 6 Type A
Wood frame, stucco exterior, gang showers, lavator-
ies, various size rooms, i.e., single, double,
suite (4), capacity 60, 3 stories.
Type B same as Type A, 2 stories, capacity 60.
The above plans would require an agreement with the
architect and a redesign of mechanical as well as
structural. Mr. Pine did not recommend adoption of
this plan because of the construction material.
Residence Halls Unit 7 Type A
Pre-cast concrete panels, gang showers and lavator-
ies, various size rooms, i.e., single, double,
suite (4), capacity 69, 3 stories.
This plan also would require an agreement with the
architect and a redesign of mechanical as well as
structural. Mr. Pine did not recommend adoption of
this plan.
In the case of the Nye Hall plans a sketch was submitted
indicating the floor plan of a two story building. Mr.
Pine indicated that should this plan be adopted it would
be necessary to rework the structural plan and the
mechanical and it would require a great deal of time to
rework this plan.
Mr. Pine recommended that the Knighton plans be used as
background and that another architect be employed to
redraw them to our specifications. He indicated that
the plan should be reworked structurally and mechanical-
ly for major savings in mode of construction. The fol-
lowing firms have been contacted and are available for
working up a set set of plans in the near future:
Zick and Sharp
James T. Mc Daniel
Gerald Moffitt
E. B. Hendricks
Mr. Pine indicated that the plans of existing Dormito-
ries on the Reno Campus had been considered but recom-
mended that the plans not be used. He submitted fol-
ing additional information on the various plans as to
costs explaining that the costs were not corrected to
present day prices.
Dormitory Cost per Student Cost per Sq. Foot
Nye 4,410.00 21.50
White Pine 4,305.00 20.00
Juniper 3,305.00 16.00
Knighton Plan 6,670.00 29.45
Calif. 7A Concrete 25.60
Calif. 6A Wood 19.20
Proposed 4,400.00 22.00
Mr. Hendricks was called into the meeting and Mr.
Jacobsen requested that he give a brief description
of what he would propose to do about the plans.
Mr. Hendricks submitted the following letter:
"May we submit the following as recommendations,
proposals and time scheduling:
"1. We would completely redraw both buildings,
and rewrite the specifications.
"2. We would re-layout the Dining Hall in the form
of a rectangular building, maintaining the
relationships and internal circulation as
previously approved by the University, but
incorporating any new ideas and features
which the University may recommend.
"3. The basic design and layout of the Dormitory
building is sound; however, we would incorpo-
rate a new structural system, again maintain-
ing the relationships and internal circulation
as previously approved by the University.
"4. We would complete this work in time to issue
completely new drawings and specifications to
contractors in order to receive and open con-
struction bids on or about November 26, 1965.
Anticipating a start of construction no later
than the middle of December 1965, we would
schedule completion of both buildings by the
first part of August 1966.
"5. We would provide the above mentioned Architect-
ural, Structural, Mechanical and Electrical
Engineering and Supervision Services for the
remaining amount of the fee in Mr. Knighton's
original contract.
"6. If this firm were selected by the University
and State Planning Board to provide complete
Architectural and Engineering Services for
Phase II of the Dormitory building, we would
provide said services for a fee of four percent
(4%) of the amount budgeted for the project.
Provided, of course, that we would be allowed
to use a similar engineering system and design
as incorporated in Phase I."
Mr. Hendricks stated that he could have the intermediate
plans ready to submit to the Plant and Property Commit-
tee at its meeting on September 17.
Mr. Pine recommended that Mr. Hendricks be retained to
redesign the project using the Knighton plans as pre-
liminary plans.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
without dissenting vote that Mr. Pine's recommendation
be approved and that Mr. Hendricks be retained to re-
design the project under the terms outlined in his let-
ter of August 19. It was noted in the motions that the
selection of an architect for the second unit would be
a State Planning Board action and, therefore, the Board
of Regents could not guarantee the awarding of such a
contract to Mr. Hendricks. Mr. Hendricks stated that
he was aware of this condition and would proceed under
those terms.
Action by the Board:
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Grant, carried
unanimously that the action of the Committee become the
action of the Board.
2. Block N. Drainage Plane (Evans Creek Dam)
Mr. Pine reported that he had done some research of
records and found the following concerning the Evans
Creek Dam:
On November 7, 1963 the Building Committee adopted a
motion that the University agree to serve as co-spon-
sors. The information passed on to the Building Com-
mittee indicated no financial obligation was expected.
The Board of Regents approved this policy at its meet-
ing of December 7, 1963.
The present status is that the State Highway Department
has agreed to expend some funds on the engineering stud-
y. The sponsors will remain City of Reno, State Highway
Department, University of Nevada and the North Truckee
Soil Conservation District.
3. Master Plan Landscaping Nevada Southern University
Mr. Pine reported that the State Planning Board had for-
warded two sets of the Master Plan for Nevada Southern
University Campus. Mr. Pine recommended that the plan
be approved with the modification that the ground cover
"Lantana" symbol "m" not be used and that serious con-
sideration be given to reduce the height of the various
trees. In Mr. Pine's opinion the heights of the trees
as specified would increase the project cost consider-
ably and very little would be accomplished in the way
of landscaping. Mr. Hancock has requested Mr. Smutzer
to present an estimate of the work that can be accom-
plished for the allocated funds.
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried with-
out dissenting vote that the plan be approved with the
modification as recommended by Mr. Pine concerning
ground cover and size of trees.
Action by the Board:
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
unanimously that the action of the Committee become the
action of the Board.
4. Report of Progress
A. Nye Hall. Excavation is complete. Contractor has
begun the setting of steel for foundation. Wet
weather the past two weeks has caused some delay.
On schedule.
B. Radiological Health Research Complex, Nevada South-
ern University. Approximately 23% complete, project
closed down because of carpenter strike. Settlement
of strike not expected soon.
C. Water Resources Building. Some delay being exper-
ienced because of glaziers' strike. Painting of the
interior progressing. Project about 85% complete.
D. Stadium contractor extremely slow. It is expected
that Arlington Nursery will begin planting proce-
dures this week. Some doubt exists that two mowings
will be made this year at current progress.
Mr. Hancock noted that the Board of Regents had previ-
ously requested a meeting with the State Planning Board
to discuss the Physical Science building. He invited
the Board to meet informally with the Northern Nevada
Executive Committee Labor Day week and then send a
representative to the State Planning Board meeting in
Ely, September 23 or 24.
5. Nevada Southern University Dormitory - Dining Facility
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
without dissenting vote that the plans be designed to
stay within the price but designed for future addition
of stories to the building, and Mr. Pine be instructed
to discuss this with Mr. Hendricks.
6. Cornerstone of Social Science Building
Mr. Pine suggested that he contact the Grand Lodge of
Masons and see if they can set the cornerstone at the
Social Science building on the NSU Campus Saturday,
November 20, following the Board of Regents meeting.
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
without dissenting vote that Mr. Pine invite the Grand
Lodge to set the cornerstone on either Friday, November
19 or Saturday, November 20.
Meeting adjourned at 8:30 P.M.
5. Report of the Plant and Property Committee Meeting of
September 17, 1965
Mr. Davis reported verbally on the meeting of the Plant and
Property Committee and presented the following recommenda-
tions:
1. Intermediate Plans for Dining and Residence Hall
Facility, Nevada Southern University
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Grant, carried
without dissenting vote that the intermediate plans for
Dining and Residence Hall facility, Nevada Southern
University, be approved by the Committee and in turn
recommended to the Board for approval and that the Board
delegate to the Committee the authority to approve the
final plans.
Action by the Board:
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
unanimously that the action of the Committee become the
action of the Board.
2. Landscaping Master Plan, NSU
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
without dissenting vote that (1) the master plan for
landscaping for NSU be approved; (2) the specifications
and bid documents be prepared at the earliest possible
time by the Director of Physical Plant and advertise
for bid; (3) the basic budget developed for $55,000 with
several additive alternates totaling $15,000; (4) the
reflecting pool not be induced until sufficient ground
cover has been developed to prevent it from being merely
a mud pool; and (5) the $3,555.25 balance in General
Deposits, NSU, be transferred to 1-91-3023, NSU
Landscaping.
Action by the Board:
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried unani-
mously that the action of the Committee become the action of
the Board.
3. Application for Permit to Drill a Well at NSU
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
unanimously that (1) the Committee recommend approval
of Resolution #65-21; and (2) Mr. Pine, accompanied by
Clark County Regents and Chancellor Moyer, present
the resolution to the Ground Water Board at their
October meeting.
RESOLUTION #65-21
WHEREAS, the Board of Regents, University of Nevada,
adopted a master plan for landscaping the Nevada South-
ern University Campus; and
WHEREAS, a contract will soon be entered into to accom-
plish a part of this master plan and a sizable quantity
of water will be required for growth of lawns, trees and
shrubbery; and
WHEREAS, the use of a well will be of major financial
benefit to Nevada Southern University and enable much
needed funds to be used for educational purposes; and
WHEREAS, the beautification of the Nevada Southern Uni-
versity Campus is considered to be of major importance
not only to the University, but to the City of Las
Vegas, Clark County and the State in general.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED;
That the Board of Regents of the University of Nevada
respectfully urges the Las Vegas Valley Ground Water
Board to act favorably on permit No. 18471 filed by
the Board of Regents with the State Department of
Conservation.
Action by the Board:
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried unani-
mously that the action of the Committee become the action
of the Board.
4. Proposed Land Trade at NSU
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Grant, carried
without dissenting vote that the Board continue to wait
for a reply from Mr. Gerald Leavitt concerning a propos-
ed land trade at Las Vegas and that no further offer be
made at this time.
5. Orvis School of Nursing Building, Reno Campus
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
without dissenting vote that the following recommenda-
tions be made by Mr. Humphrey be approved by the
Committee:
1. The State Planning Board be requested to award the
contract to Dixon-Tiberbi for the base bid less the
deductive alternate, for a total of $592,500.
2. The project budget be revised as follows:
Construction $592,500
Fixed equipment, not in contract 20,000
Architect's fees 32,136
Movable equipment 24,000
Site survey & soil test 496
Supervision of construction 4,250
$673,382
3. The State Planning Board cannot spend more than
$663,960 on this project through its books and
the above budget does not include a contingency
reserve.
To make this workable from the viewpoint of the
State Planning Board, only $14,578 would be used
as the movable equipment budget and this amount
would also have to serve as the project contingen-
cy. If the $14,578 were used in construction it
would mean that a like amount would have to be
raisded by the Board of Regents before the project
is completed and final payment made by the Public
Health Service. It is possible, however, that
some of the equipment included in the basic con-
struction contract will qualify as the fixed or
movable equipment items in the budget listed
above.
4. The funding be changed as follows:
Federal Grant $389,118
State Bond Proceeds 61,425
Orvis Gift & Earned Interest 110,375
Residual of monies made available for
Anelli land purchase by Chapter 341,
Statutes of Nevada, 1965 23,960
University funds by transfer from:
1-91-5000 Property Acquisition Fund 50,335.98
1-51-4119 W. E. Travis Grant 17,991.47
1-51-7002 Alice Dimmitt E. I. 8,524.38
1-51-7004 Hayden Ellicott E. I. 2,230.17
1-41-4001 Diploma Sales 9,422.00
88,504.00
$673,382.00
------------
5. The State Planning Board be requested to negotiate
a deductive change order with Dixon-Tiberti (to be
signed concurrently with the contract) for those
items which, in the opinion of the architect, the
State Planning Board and the University staffs, can
be altered without adversely affecting the building.
Action by the Board:
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Grant, carried unani-
mously by roll call vote that the action of the Committee
become the action of the Board.
6. Orvis Gift
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Grant,
carried without dissenting vote that the offer
of furniture as a gift from Mrs. Orvis be

mously that the action of the Committee become the action
of the Board.

$17,500 in cash plus a promissory note to be secured
by a first deed of trust on the property and paid as
University finances permit and pledging the income
of nonrestricted endowment income to retirement of
the debt; and (2) transfers of funds as outlined in
Mr. Humphrey's letter of September 13, 1965 be
approved.
Action by the Board:
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
unanimously that the action of the Committee become the
action of the Board.
9. Capurro Property at North End of Reno Campus
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Grant,
carried without dissenting vote that the Adminis-
tration be designated to work out the vacation of
the property formerly owned by Capurro as required
by the University.
Action by the Board:

Mr. Davis reported the following recommendation from the
Student Affairs Committee to the Board of Regents:
Motion by Mr. Ronzone, seconded by Mrs. Magee, carried with-
out dissenting vote that the Committee recommend to the
Board the following changes in prices and policy in board
and room charges to become effective Summer Session, 1966.
(a) Increase the basic board and room rate for a semester
to $400. The board rate to become $285 and the room
rate to be $115. (This is a $30 or 8.1 % increase).
(b) Increase the daily cash price for meals to $2.90 ($.15
or 5.5%) and the individual meal price be established
at:
$ .65 for breakfast (no change)
$ .90 for lunch (.55 entree including salad, .10 soup,
.10 beverage and .15 dessert)
$1.35 for dinner (1.00 entree including salad, .10
soup, .10 beverage and .15 dessert)
(c) Increase the daily rate for residence hall occupancy to
$1.50 (.25 or a 20% increase) for Summer and other use
in excess of two nights and continue the present rate
of $2.00 per night for one and two nights of occupancy.
Establish the rate of $3.50 per night for special
conferences requiring extra maid service.
(d) The number of meals served per week be reduced to 19
by eliminating the regular Sunday breakfast (although
coffee and doughnuts will still be delivered to resi-
dence halls on Sunday mornings) and substituting a
Sunday brunch to be served from 10 A.M. to 1 P.M. (cash
price to be $1.35 for adults and $.75 for childred 14
years of age and less to encourage faculty family par-
ticipation with the students in this particular meal).
(e) The contract meal service be from breakfast of regis-
tration day through dinner of the last day of final
examinations, exclusive of all days which are official
University holidays or recesses. This will mean an
average of 226 days of service per yer. It will be
necessary for the Dining Commons to close (or offer
greatly reduced service) more frequently in order to
better schedule annual leave for employees and to do
heavy cleaning.
(f) There be no change in the $65 monthly rental (exclu-
sive of utilities) at University Village.
(g) The board and room rates and policies for Nevada
Southern University be tentatively established
identical to those listed above subject to review
on January 1966, when the method of operating the
service (i. e., contract operation or University
operated) has been more fully explored.
Action by the Board:
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried unani-
mously that the action of the Committee become the action
of the Board.
14. Independent Audit of 1964-65 Fiscal Year Financial State-
ments
The following request from Mr. Humphrey was presented to
the Board with President Armstrong's recommendation for
approval:
"We have been advised by the Legislative Counsel Bureau that
the Legislative Commission has approved placing the Univer-
sity on an every other year audit schedule and that the next
audit to be performed by them is scheduled for the 1965-66
statements. A copy of Mr. Norman H. Terrell's letter of
July 30, 1965 is enclosed.
"I strongly urge that an independent audit of the 1964-65
financial statements be secured. This not only protects
everyone involved but is a major advantage to the Account-
ing Office. The audit firm should be designated by the
Board of Regents. The firm selected should be highly re-
spected, be of proven competence and have strict ethical
standards. Many Nevada public accounting firms meet these
qualifications; however, I wish to take the liberty of rec-
ommending Kafoury, Armstrong and Bernard, Public Account-
ants located at 100 California Avenue, Reno. This firm has
done a great deal of work for the University in the past.
For example, a special audit in 1961, extensive review of
our internal financial controls in 1964, consulting regard-
ing accounting system changes in 1964-65 and annual audits
of the Jot Travis Student Union. Their knowledge of our
accounting procedures and the existing working papers will
be of major advantage. They are highly regarded in the
performance of governmental audits. Many local governments
and at least one major State agency are among their clients.
"I requested Kafoury, Armstrong and Bernard to review the
fiscal records of the University to determine the probable
scope and cost of an independent audit. Their letter to me,
dated August 31, 1965, is enclosed. You will note that
$12,500.00 is their cost estimate. Public accounting firms
do not, of course, work on a set price or bid basis. They
are paid by the hour, depending on the qualification of each
member assigned. The hourly fee charged is quite standard.
"I have in no way committed the University to the employment
by this firm. Should a different firm be selected my staff
and I will of course give them our complete cooperation.
"This expense has not been budgeted. I recommend the trans-
fer of $12,500.00 from Contingency Reserve to the operating
account, Office of the Vice President-Finance, to provide
for the audit. Since this amount exceeds the present bal-
ance of the Contingency Reserve account, it will be necess-
ary to delay processing the transfer until the salary sav-
ings are transferred to Contingency Reserve in October. A
transfer is enclosed."
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried unani-
mously by roll call vote that above recommendation be
approved.
