Faculty Assembly


Colleagues on the Faculty Rep Assembly-

This is to complete some unfinished business from last spring. Last April discussion of the parking budget was postponed, and at the May meeting discussion had to be cut off because of other critical business. Though it is too late to provide input into the parking budget at this point, I wanted you to know and understand how the parking fees are being determined.

Richard

A few points before I present the numbers:

1. Reserves were used up before last year to keep parking fees down. Moreover, equipment upgrades have been postponed recently. This year not only are the reserves being reinstated and equipment upgrades included, but there will be much more extensive shuttling (7:30am-11 pm, M-F) from Four Diamonds.

2. No increase in parking fee is anticipated next year.

3. The campus is a part of two federal grant proposals submitted by the city totaling about $1 M. One would provide more bus service along the Garden of the Gods corridor and the other would provide for a city transit station to be located at Four Diamonds.

4. The reserved parking for the Chancellor, VCs, and deans will continue to be 132% of the HUB fee, as determined by the Traffic and Transportation Board based on a survey of other institutions and estimated costs.

5. Residence housing students will have their own lot (lot 8) this coming year, allowing for better 24 hour security and removing most of those cars from the main hub.

Now the numbers:
