University Sedan Parking Rule Change

Effective August 20, 2012 maintenance parking spaces (designated by green posts) are reserved for Facility Operations service trucks. Sedans may not use these spaces except in the following areas:

• The University Hospital loading dock.
• Spaces adjacent to Motor Pool, University Police and the Turpin University Services Building.
• Loading docks with the approval of the dock manager.

Other exceptions may be adopted for sedans engaged in organ transplants, nuclear waste, or other similar circumstances.

  

Sedans may park in “U” and “E” lots as needed and temporarily in “A” lots (in order to load and unload supplies.) Departmental sedans should not displace faculty parking places in “A” lots.

University vehicles with exempt license plates may park in pay lots and parking meters under the following restrictions: Pay lot parking is limited to 1 hour; and parking at meters is limited to the type of the specific meter: (36 minute, 1 hour or 2 hour meter.) University vehicles may not park in red loading zone meters.

Organizational Changes

August has been a busy month for Facility Operations.  We have had some big changes within our organization the last few months.  We look forward to the exciting new challenges and opportunities these changes will bring.

Waste Management

Effective September 1, 2012, Waste Management will be moved from Budget & Programs to Custodial Services under Facility Operations.  There will be no change in personnel or the functions they perform.  The phone number will also remain the same, 1-5173.

2012 Summer BBQ

August 9th was our Annual Summer BBQ.   This gives us an opportunity to kick off the new school year and show appreciation to our hard working employees. 

We put the management team to work with Associate Directors working the grill cooking up over 500 hamburgers, hotdogs and veggie burgers. 

 

 We had Supervisors working the line serving our hungry crews. (with the help of some Facility Coordinators and admins)

 

 

The Electronics Shop made sure we had some good tunes. Events set us up with shade tents and cold drinks.  Waste Management made sure we could all do our part by providing recycling and trash stations.

Thanks to John Atkins and Terry Erickson for organizing this event for us.  Special thanks to Nate Miles and his staff for working hard to set everything up to we could all play for a couple hours.
