UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

Recommendations 1. Parking lots and structures shall be constructed on land presently owned or to be acquired by the University. (Explanatory note: T h e two Committees are in agreement that it would be desirable if the University could provide both the land and the construction necessary for an adequate parking program. Since this does not appear to be possible, land now owned or purchased for campus expansion should be utilized for parking until it must be used for building sites. This represents a continuation of the present policy.) 2. Each member of the faculty-staff desiring to use parking space on University lots, streets, or drives shall pay an annual registration fee of $15.00. A faculty-staff member wishing to register a second car shall pay a fee of $5.00 for that car. Cars in excess of two may be registered on the payment of the $15.00 fee for each car. Anyone desiring to register a car for less than the full twelve months shall pay a registration fee of $7.50 per semester, and/or $3.75 for a Summer Session. (Explanatory note: It is intended that the registration fee be voluntary but shall apply uniformly to all members of the faculty-staff who use University land for parking at any time during the year. T h e $15.00 fee would cover the full twelve months. Staff on less than nine-month appointment would pay a $7.50 semester fee, or $3.75 for the Summer Session only. In addition to the right to park in unrestricted University spaces, the registration fee would entitle a faculty-staff member to a motor vehicle registration card which would entitle the member to ride free on the Illi-Bus anywhere along the Illi-Bus route.) 3. No motor vehicle shall be registered unless the certificate of title is in the name of an employee or the spouse of an employee of the University. (Explanatory note: There was some feeling among the Committees that University registration should be restricted to motor vehicles owned by the University employee with specific exceptions being made only in exceptional cases. It was deemed that this policy would afford better control of University parking spaces to insure that their use would be restricted to facultystaff. However, a majority felt that exceptional cases would be rare and that vehicles owner-registered in the name of an employee or spouse should be entitled to University registration.) 4. Any full time faculty-staff member may rent a parking space (on a first come-first served basis) for the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon on Saturday for an annual rental fee of $45.00 (in addition to the annual $15.00 registration fee). (Explanatory note: This rental would be on a voluntary basis and designed for the convenience of those who desire such a space and are willing to pay the additional fee. Such spaces would not be reserved during the evening hours (after 6:00 p.m.) and would be available after 6:00 p.m. to facultystaff who have paid the University registration fee. No charge would be made to faculty-staff for parking in such spaces during the evening hours. It is anticipated on the basis of available spaces, that faculty-staff who return to their offices or laboratories to work after 6:00 p.m. will find a space in a University lot, or on a University street or drive, reasonably close to such offices or laboratories. Any faculty-staff member who, on the effective date of this program, is paying for a rental space will be assured that the space will continue to be assigned to him.) 5. Faculty-staff members and University departments having special need may rent a parking space by special permission of the Executive Vice-President and Provost on a twenty-four hour yearly basis for an annual rental fee of $90.00 (in addition to the annual $15.00 registration fee for individuals, or a total of $105.00 per year for individuals and departments). (Explanatory note: This provision is for those special cases in which the Provost determines that the interests of the University require that a special parking space be reserved on a twenty-four hour basis for an individual or department. A department would include such parking fee in its operating budget in the same manner that it provides for the other operating expenses of the motor vehicle.)
