AMENDATORY SECTION(Amending WSR 93-20-080, filed 10/4/93, effective 11/4/93)

WAC 132N-156-300
Purpose.

The parking and traffic rules and regulations contained herein provide a fair and uniform method of regulating college vehicular, nonvehicular, and pedestrian traffic and are based on the following objectives:

     (1) To protect and control vehicular, nonvehicular, and pedestrian traffic.

     (2) To assure access ((at all times)) for emergency equipment at all times.

     (3) To minimize traffic disturbances during class hours.

     (4) To facilitate the work of the college by assuring access for college vehicles and by assigning the limited parking spaces to the most efficient use.

     (5) To protect college facilities.

     Permission to park or operate a vehicle on college property is governed by these regulations.      The purchase of a permit for designated parking does not ensure the regular availability of a parking space.

[Statutory Authority: RCW 28B.50.140(10) and chapters 28B.50 and 28B.10 RCW.      93-20-080, § 132N-156-300, filed 10/4/93, effective 11/4/93; 91-21-022, § 132N-156-300, filed 10/7/91, effective 11/7/91.      Statutory Authority: Chapters 28B.50 and 28B.10 RCW.      87-19-103 (Order 87-02, Resolution No. 87-02), § 132N-156-300, filed 9/18/87.]

     Security officers are authorized to issue parking and traffic citations, impound and/or immobilize vehicles, and control and regulate facilities use, traffic, and parking as prescribed in these rules and regulations.

     Any person interfering with a college security officer in the discharge of the provisions of these rules and regulations shall be in violation of RCW 9A.76.020, Obstructing governmental operation, and may be subject to arrest by a peace officer.

     Failure by students to abide by these rules and regulations may be considered to be a violation of the code of student conduct (chapter 132N-120 WAC, as applicable).

     Compliance with these rules and regulations is considered a standard part of job performance for all employees. Failure by faculty or staff of the college to abide by these rules and regulations may result in disciplinary action or other authorized sanctions.

All college faculty, staff, and administrators using college parking facilities at any time between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Mondays through Fridays during fall, winter, and spring quarters are to purchase and display a valid parking permit.      The fact that an employee may be eligible to park in a physically disabled persons parking zone will not relieve the employee of this requirement.      A valid faculty/staff parking permit may not, by itself, constitute authority to park in other parking facilities leased or owned by the college.

     Current faculty/staff parking permit fees are seven dollars and fifty cents per quarter for one vehicle, and an additional one dollar per quarter for each additional vehicle.      ((Permits may be purchased on either a permanent, annual, or quarterly basis.))      Permits are required for fall, winter, and spring quarters. Administrators, exempt staff, permanent classified staff, and tenure-track faculty may purchase permanent permits. Adjunct faculty and temporary classified staff may purchase quarterly permits.

College faculty or staff who have invited a guest speaker, lecturer, presenter, or other special guest to the college may apply to the security/safety office for a guest parking permit. A guest parking permit will entitle the holder to park in faculty/staff parking, and to park in visitor parking without registering, in order to facilitate their appearance at the college. Permits will be valid only for the day(s) specified on the permit. Guest parking permits will not be issued for personal guests of college employees or for staff employed by the college on a temporary basis.

     Requestors will provide the security/safety office with the name of the guest and the date, time, place, and nature of appearance at the college. Permits may be picked up at the security/safety office, or security/safety can mail the permit directly to the guest. Staff should apply for guest parking permits far enough in advance of the appearance to allow for delivery of the permit.

     (1) The purpose for which the permit was issued changes or no longer exists.

     (2) The permit is used on an unregistered vehicle or by an unauthorized individual.

     (3) A parking permit application form was falsified.

College faculty or staff who coordinate special events involving the participation of dignitaries from off-campus may request that parking spaces be reserved for those participants on the day of the event. All requests for reserved parking will be made in writing to the office of the president at least a week in advance. Aside from traffic revisions necessary for construction and maintenance work, the security/safety office will not reserve parking spaces without prior approval from the president's office.

[]

The requesting party will forward a copy of the approved request to the security/safety manager for implementation. After receiving an approved request, the security/safety manager will contact the requesting party to confirm the details and to assign the reserved spaces. All attempts will be made to accommodate the needs of the participants and the event, but the final decision on the allocation of spaces rests with the security/safety manager.

     Reserved spaces will be established only for arrival of participants to the event; no "in and out" areas will be maintained.

     On the day of the event, the security/safety office will set up barricades or otherwise designate the reserved spaces. Unless other arrangements are made, it will be the responsibility of the requesting party to provide personnel to meet those individuals authorized to park in the reserved spaces and to remove the barricades to allow them to park. If the requesting party wants to have a security officer staff the parking spaces, they must make prior arrangements for staffing. Security officers will be assigned to such duty only if available, and their time will be charged to the requesting party.
