Washington Administrative Code › Title 504 - Washington State University › Chapter 504-14 - Campus parking and traffic regulations for Washington State University Health Sciences Spokane › Part III - PARKING PERMITS › Section 504-14-650 - Parking fees and fines

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) Schedules for
				parking fees, parking administrative fees, late payment fees, parking fines and
				sanctions, parking meter rates, prorate and refund schedules, and the effective
				date thereof are submitted to the president or their designee and to the board
				of regents for approval by motion; provided, however, that increases in fees
				and fines do not exceed limits established by the board of regents. Increases
				in fees and fines that do not exceed limits established by the board of regents
				are not submitted to the board of regents so long as the board of regents has
				delegated authority to the president or their designee to approve all such fees
				and fines. The schedules for all parking fees and fines described above for all
				parking fees and fines are thereafter posted in the public area of the parking
				office and posted on the university's parking web site.
(2) Payments. Parking fees and fines may be
				paid at the parking office by cash, check, approved payment card, or money
				order. A payroll deduction plan is available for eligible university employees
				and eligible graduate students.
(3)
				The proper fee must be paid for all vehicles parking in parking meter spaces
				unless otherwise authorized.
(4)
				Refunds. Annual physical permits being relinquished must be returned to the
				parking office in person for a pro rata refund (if any is available) in
				accordance with university policy. Identifiable remnants of physical permits
				must be returned. In the case of annual virtual permits, the permit purchaser
				must notify the parking office in person or in writing that they want to
				relinquish the permit permissions for a pro rata refund (if any is available)
				in accordance with university policy. The balance of any fees and fines owed
				the parking office is deducted from any available refund due. Refunds for
				temporary permits are not granted. Refunds for pretax payroll deductions cannot
				be granted pursuant to federal tax laws.
(5) The parking office makes a wide array of
				options available in advance to university departments for use by their
				visitors, guests, and employees for the purpose of conducting departmental
				business. However, when necessary, university departments that can establish in
				writing that a parking ticket issued by the parking office was received as a
				result of parking any vehicle for the purpose of conducting official state
				business, or while conducting official business with the university or any
				entity located at the university are assessed a parking fee assessment (PFA) in
				lieu of the parking fine. Such requests for PFAs are signed by a department
				fiscal custodian. A PFA consists of the maximum daily parking fee plus an
				additional administrative fee for failing to purchase and provide the necessary
				parking permit or fee in advance or at the time of parking. University
				departments are encouraged to avoid additional administrative fees associated
				with PFAs by purchasing and storing prepaid parking permits and by making them
				available as the department deems necessary. Nothing in this regulation allows
				a university employee to receive, or attempt to receive, any benefit associated
				with their personal expenses in violation of the State Ethics Act. All
				questionable employee conduct regarding the application of this section is
				reported to, and investigated by, the university internal auditor. This section
				applies only to parking tickets issued pursuant to this chapter.
