REPORT ON RESERVOIR

The Chancellor reported on recent developments with respect to the location of the City
reservoir at the College. He stated that he had recently consulted with officials of the City of
Fredericksburg and that it appeared that an alternate site on the edge of the golf course was the
most satisfactory compromise with respect to the location of the reservoir. He reported further
that the Mary Washington College Committee at its meeting on the preceding day, 6 June 1963, had
approved the alternate site

After discussion the following resolution, which had received the approval as to legal form by
Mr. C. Venable Minor, Special Counsel, was adopted

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
(1) that we hereby authorize the relocation of the ground level water reservoir at Mary Washington
College to an elevated tank reservoir at the alternate site on the edge of the golf course as
shown on the map presented by the President and Chancellor at this meeting, and (2) that the
President and Secretary be and they are hereby authorized to execute a grant of easement for the
use of the alternate site by the City of Fredericksburg, subject to the approval of Special Counsel
as to the form and substance of the grant of easement, provided, however, that the City of
Fredericksburg relinquishes all rights of easement in and to the present reservoir site
