Determine, through contact with Stanford Univer- sity officials, the potential interest of the Univer- sity in leasing the Palo Alto Pavilion and Core portion of the Palo Alto -Stanford Hospital to accommodate the expanding requirement of the Stanford Medical School. b. As a part of negotiations with Stanford, obtain the release of the old Palo Alto Hospital facility from the joint ownership agreement between the City•and the University and conclude a new agree- ment concerning the old Hospital site which would allow potential expansion at that site under the City: c£'' Palo Alto auspices. c Determine, through contact with officials of the.
