Free but no reserved space

Free but reserved space
7
Free is nice, but only if guaranteed the same space
they have now AND no public access to reserved
s • aces, OTHERWISE, keep it as it is
6
Free would be ok, but $10 is OK, don't really care
4
Keep it as it is
60
Willing to pay more for the privilege of parking in
the lot
3
Carpool, drop -off or catch bus, so no care
6
Come early and don't leave during the day, so don't
care (they both have reserved stalls)

TOTAL POLLED
90
OTHER COMMENTS
(From the 90 employees polled)
Install automatic arm and use card system to keep
public out of reserved spaces
13
No free parking because of likely abuse by non -
county employees and non - county business
(employees in other buildings /offices will park in
the lot if its free or chea • and convenient)
27
Keep it as it is for now, but the system should be
fair across the board. If some employees pay, all
should pay. If some employees don't pay, no one
should pay.
4
If some employees in other facilities have been
enjoying free parking for a long time, they should
have to pay now, like the rest of us. Parking is a
privilege. The County needs the money.
If people want to park for free, park somewhere
else
10
Bottom line — reserved space as it is now, and no
interference from public. The system works fine,
except on Tuesdays and Thursdays
