Meeting notes 1/29/16
Announcements:
o Surface Lot:
 Will be done in Spring
 Setbacks because of rain
 $2.4M, 143 spaces added to inventory
 Testing pay stations (more than 10 are being
added)
There is a little fluctuation of parking permits, some sales went
up, some went down.
o Something to note: Fulltime quarterly passes for UWB
were down by 133 passes
o Cascadia College was down 145 full time quarterly
passes.
 Why these numbers are down, I do not know.
o Overall, sales were down slightly.
Paying for new security officer for parking lots. NOTE: They are
NOT pulling from the current security staff, they are adding to it
Parking software
o



If we were to install sensors (that detect how many spaces
are unavailable/available so people know where to park or
how many spaces are left in the garages
 Proposed cost 275K
 For a COMPLETELY new software system:
500K.
 Total = 900K yearly to maintain
 NOTE: The WHOLE new system
includes everything from tickets, passes,
website, app etc. etc.
Garage maintenance:
o Spent 1.3M
o Committee wants to move to 100K/year to maintain,
instead of 1.3M for a one time cost every 5 or so years.
o 50K/floor to paint floors white.
 The reason for this is it allows people to see a lot
better especially when it is dark. The lights would
reflect off the white paint and provide more light
o Might want to add Digital Speed sign (might take pictures
of vehicles that are going way too fast)
 Pros:
 People aren’t going to speed in the
garages, therefore safety first,
 Might be used outside of the garages as
well (in particular by the ARC)
 Might be a possible alternative option than
the flashing sidewalk lights?)
 Cons:
 Privacy issues, people don’t want officers
“violating” privacy
 Possibly expensive to maintain
o Stairs could use cleaning
o Buss loop could have more lighting
Campus shuttle:
o Loop through (near) 120th Ave
o Pricing: (all wages, expenses etc. are considered in these
numbers)
 200K/year from UW -Seattle(possibly best option)
 350K/year if contracted
 “In house:” 281K/year
o Have students pay a different rate for parking off-campus
then taking the shuttle to UWB.
o The distance is about 5-6 miles (it is near Home Depot)
 Therefore we have more parking options outside
of campus, as well as a shuttle system
Next meeting is: 2/19/16 9am-10:30am Rose room
