PARKING CRUNCH
Budget
Continued from p. 1
The decision makers
students," Duff said yesterday from Washington, D.C. He said he voted to close the toll booths to save administrative expenses.
From the time a proposal is born in the parking board until it is enacted by Parking Services, a lot of people have an opportunity to have their say.
A zone change, for example, will start as a proposal in a rules and regulations subcommittee of the parking board. The committee presents it to the parking board, which can either approve the zone change or throw it back to the committee.
If approved, the proposal is submitted to the University Senate Executive Committee. From SenExz, the zone change proposal is sent to the executive vice chancellor and finally to Chancellor Gene A. Budig.
If the zone change survives its first five obstacles, it will be subjected to a public hearing. Hearings are announced in the University Daily Kansan, the Oread and the Kansas Register, an official state document.
Anyone interested can submit a written complaint before the hearing or voice concern at the meeting. The complaint will be documented and forwarded to the Regents for consideration.
In cases of substantial public opposition, the Regents can send the zone change back to the parking board for reconsideration, Hultine said. But usually, once a proposal has passed the parking board, it will pass through the rest of the decision process, Hiltine said.
At the last public hearing April 15, only one person, William O. Scott, professor of English, attended, Hultine said. The hearing publicized 11 changes in parking regulations that included fine and permit fee increases and zone changes, she said.
After the public hearing, the proposal is submitted to the Regents for a formal clearance.
This year, parking board voting members are faculty members Ray Moore, Andrew Torres and Morris Faiman; staff members Neva Entrikin, Carol Leffler and Doris Hughes; and students Spencer Culver, Roger Templin and Jason Krakow. John Schott, assistant director of institute restoration, is the unclassified board member.
Non-voting members are Don Kearns, Winnie Kucera, chief justice of the traffic court, and Jim Modig, director of facilities planning.
The budget
The cost of KU Parking Services' operating expenses, salaries and capital improvements are paid for by parking users through permit fees, parking tickets, meters and special campus events.
Parking Services is financially self-supporting, which means that it does not receive money from the state of Kansas and is thus wholly dependent on generated revenues, Hultine said.
Seven of the Big Eight schools have financially self-supporting parking services. Only the University of Mississippi state money for parking services.
According to the KU Parking Services' budget, Parking Services expects to increase its net gain after regular expenses by about $250,000 from fiscal 1987 to fiscal 1988 and by about $224,000 from fiscal 1988 to

and ends June 30, 1988. The 1988 budget is approved, but the budget for 1989 is only proposed.
fiscal 1989.
Total receipts, or money collected,
are expected to increase by 46 percent the next two fiscal years, from $1.3 billion in fiscal 1987 to $1.4 million in fiscal 1989.
The fiscal 1989 parking budget was designed to take into account the necessary planning costs of a proposed parking garage. That explains why it was so expensive to build Andrew Torres, professor of biology and member of the parking board.
Money from meters
The biggest part of those receipt increases will come from increased parking meter receipts, which will grow by 345 percent the next two years, from about $85,000 for fiscal 187 to about $279,000 for fiscal 1989.
That money will come mainly from two sources
The 235 new meters that are being installed in Lot 91, in addition to higher meter prices this year, will account for an 85 percent increase in revenues from fiscal 1987 to fiscal 1988. Hultine said.
the planned parking garage, which probably will have metered parking and blue and red zones, is expected to bring in about $220,000 more for fiscal 1989. That's an increase of 140 percent from fiscal 1988.
Two toll lots in Lot 91 and all meters combined brought in $103,000 last fiscal year. But the parking board decided to close the toll lots, which charged visitors, and install meters in Lot 91. Moore said.
Meters alone are scheduled to bring in $18,000 this fiscal year.

Sauer also has been severely harassed by outraged drivers.
"There's no use to dwell on bad experiences — you've got to leave them behind," he said. "I have to live with the abuse, but I'm human, too." Sauer also has been severely
Once, while writing tickets near Haworth Hall, she was approached by a visitor who harassed her for a ticket she hadn't written, she said. After first shaking her, he went to his car and tried to run her over.
Although the incident ended in court, the experience didn't stick with her long. "It only bothered me for about a week." Sauer said.
Skeet came to the University of Kansas in October 1972 with 10 years of law enforcement experience. He started out in 1962 as a patrolman in the Lawrence Police Department, where he stayed for three and a half years before getting a job as a courier for the Mets. After that, he became a sergeant for the KU Police. In 1978, Skeet started working for Parking Services.
Leaving the police force for Parking Services came naturally.
"After years with the police force you become tired and disgruntled with graveyard shifts and unreasonable hours," he said.
Although working with parking can be a tough experience, he isn't called on at night to write tickets, he said.
