  2. Why are Parking Permit Increases Necessary? • The master plan emphasizes the goal of a pedestrian-friendly, safe, walkable campus. This results in fewer parking spaces in the campus core. • Master plan shows need for 2,400 additional spaces in the next 10 years. The most efficient and effective way is a parking garage. • Revenues are necessary to: • Increase operating costs at 3% per year. • Maintain current parking inventory (current cost is $112 a space per year). • Build and maintain new lots and an eventual parking deck. • Build reserves for future bond covenants.

  3. Parking Services-Overview • Administers and manages the parking permit system. • Manages student accounts and payroll deduction for faculty/staff. • Manages the citation process including billing and appeals. • Maintains inventory and maintenance of parking lots/spaces. • Responds to customer services requests. • Parking services is funded through the permit process. On average, 7,000 permits are issued each year for 6,250 spaces. • Fine revenues are required by state law to be transferred to the K-12 system. We only keep 20% for administrative costs.

  4. Parking Services-Current Budget Revenues $672,000 parking permits $120,000 fines $792,000 total Expenses $415,000 personnel and operating $250,000 capital improvements $96,000 transfer to K-12 System $761,000 total Available for Reserve: $31,000

  5. Brutal Facts • Lack of pedestrian safety. • Current parking configuration doesn’t meet existing peak demand and will be unable to meet future peak demand. • New & Repaving projects are expensive: • HHS Overflow lot - $600,000 • Coulter/Forsyth repave - $200,000 • Creek Lot repave - $253,450 • Albright-Benton repave - $246,651
