Parking Validation Policy and Procedure
Internal Policy:
Purchasing Services will assume the cost of the parking fee incurred to park at the West Bank Office Building (WBOB) hourly parking facility, on a case by case basis, by validating the parking ticket to alleviate the hardship on the visiting party. The Director of Purchasing Services, or in her absence, the Technology Buyer*, will decide who will qualify for parking validation. University of Minnesota employees and vendors coming to Purchasing Services for official business will not be considered eligible for free parking except under special circumstances.
*in the absences to both, the senior buyer in-charge of the department will make the decision.
Procedure:
The validation stamp will remain in the custody of the receptionist.
Before offering the free parking priviledge to anyone, Purchasing Services employees must get verbal pre-approval from the Director and inform the receptionist. The receptionist will complete the Parking Log except for the parking ticket number.
The day of parking, the visitor/guest will present the parking ticket to the receptionist for validation. The ticket will be validated after verifying the pertinent information in the Parking Log and recording parking ticket number. The visitor/guest will present this validated ticket to the Parking Lot attendant when exiting.
The Receptionist will obtain the Director's signature on the Parking Log for that particular entry.
Each month, Chuck will reconcile the Parking Department monthly bill with the Parking Log entries.
