You're still going to have to get up e3 rly to beat the traffic, but, as of Oct. 15,
it will cost you a qua rter to win a parking space. T his follows a decision to charge a parking fee of 25 cents per day because it iS the only workable alternative, according to City College Administration. All other proposed solutions to the seven car to one space ratio pr oved to be impossible. They included a possible sta te allocation of funds, the 0 rganization of an assessmen t district, and a special bond election, according to Richard W. Goff, assistant superintendent of business services. Also, because the last college bond e l e ction failed, money in the instructional budget is tight, and Goff believes that taking the money from there would be' impractical. This belief is s hared by City College President Otto R oemmich. "There a re no resources in the school budget providing for construction and maintenance of parking lots," stated Dr. Roemmich . He believes that drawing rnonies from that budget would be a disservice to the students. Students will pay 25 cents every time they enter one of the three parking lots, and the quarter is for all day unless they l e ave campus. To give passes to those who must leave and return, in Goff's words, would " diffuse the effort." The g oal of the parking fee, he believes is to maximize revenue resources to develop more and better parking facilities. Motorcycle riders will be charged the quarter also, and will park in restricted areas because of noise and asphalt damage, according to Goff. Students with physical handica ps will park in a special section within the faculty lot.
Ampco Auto Parks will manage the parking lots and receive eight per cent of the net profit, or approxima tely $600 per month, according to Goff. The privately-owned property west of L aswell Avenue was offered to City C ollege by the owner a t a cost of $100,000 per acre, said Goff. He a dded that an a dditional $50,000 would be required to i mprove each acre, and termed that total a s " a helluva lot of quarters." , The college spent $106,000 resurfacing parking .lot 'A', which includes the fa culty parking lot. Cost of the improvements to the Kingman Avenue e ntrance lot 'B' is estimated at $67,000, a ccording to Goff. The land behind the south bleachers in the football stadium will be made into a parking lot a t a cost of $197,000. The four a nd three-quart ers acres there will be d e veloped after probably two or three Years of revenue collecting from the parki ng fees.
