UNIVERSITY OF
ILLINOIS
URBANA-CHAMPAIGN SENATE
Prefiled
Resolution
(Final - Action)
FB.05.01 Resolution on Parking Policies
Background
Prior to the early
1970's, parking on the UIUC campus was free for full-time employees. At that
time, the State of Illinois changed its funding policies and discontinued
payments to the University for any parking lots and structures as well as their
maintenance. The University, at that time, instituted an annual fee for parking
spaces. At this time, it is unclear as to what these charges cover in terms of
lot and structure original construction and maintenance, nor is it clear as to
what salaries of parking personnel, if any, are charged against the collected
rental fees.
Whereas, Parking is offered to employees in many institutions and
industries at no cost or at a cost considerably lower than at UIUC; and
Whereas, UIUC parking rates have risen at yearly percentages
considerably higher than inflation; and
Whereas, Parking fees should generate revenues necessary only to
maintain structures and lots;
Be it
resolved by the UIUC Senate that
Future parking rates be set to
generate revenues only for operational costs of parking lots and structures.
