This area of the budget can be adjusted by adequately projecting future parking in the design of new buildings. The ticketing process is handled largely by Community Service Officers hired from the student population. The police department's share of the parking budget goes to pay a percentage of the CSO's and Commissioned Police Officer's payroll based on estimations of the amount of time each spends dealing with parking issues. The committee thought that using a percentage system was hard to track. The current system being enforced is extensive and complex.
Various lots have different rules and time requirements.
The business office functions as a point of contact for the paying of citations, and collection of parking fees. The committee was concerned that there was no way to evaluate how much money was coming from staff, faculty, and student classifications individually. Complications in the banner system would make this difficult at first though. No formal evaluation. Terry Kelly has a lot of low cost, high yield ideas for parking improvements.
