A. Acquisition
1. Applicants shall apply directly with
the parking coordinator for permits with
the exception of those who are applying
for special or volunteer permits.
Anyone seeking a special or volunteer permit
must obtain the approval of his or her division
level commander. The commander must then submit
a request for the permit via proper channels to
the parking coordinator. The employee’s bureau
chief shall determine the validity of the
request before forwarding it to the parking coordinator.
2. An applicant for a new permit or permit
renewal shall present a valid registration for the vehicle.

or damaged, the permittee shall submit a
To/From report through channels to the

C. Cancellation
1. An employee who wishes to cancel a permit shall,

the parking coordinator at the time the notice of

payroll deduction to continue.

returned to the parking coordinator. The element
commander, parking coordinator, and the Finance
Division shall ascertain that this has been accomplished
