CHARLOTTESVILLE FILTER PLANT

Mr. W. Allan Perkins, Attorney for the University, reminded the Board of the fact that
by agreement dated April 1, 1922 the University leased to the City of Charlottesville for 99
years a tract of land on which is now located the City's filter plant, and that by a supplemental
agreement dated November 11, 1927, certain changes were made in the terms and conditions of the
original lease, and that by contract dated April 1, 1944, an additional lot of land was leased to
the City by the University so that the filter plant might be enlarged.

The City of Charlottesville is now engaged in materially enlarging its plant for filtration
of University and City water and desires to lease a small triangular piece of land owned by
the University which adjoins the property subject to previous leases on the north or northwest

Mr. Perkins presented a form of lease to the Board for its consideration and, upon
motion offered by Dr. Trout and seconded by Mrs. Wailes, the following resolution was adopted

RESOLVED, that Colgate W. Darden, Jr., President of the University, be and is hereby
authorized and instructed to execute the lease above referred to, and Vincent Shea, Secretary of
this Board, is instructed to affix the corporate seal and attest the same, and W. Allan Perkins,
Attorney for the University, is instructed to see that the lease is properly executed on behalf
of the City of Charlottesville, and, after such execution, is recorded in the Clerk's Office of
the Circuit Court of Albemarle County, a copy thereof being filed with the minutes of this meeting
