     Title of Rule: Parking and traffic regulations.

     Purpose: Amend parking and traffic regulations and monetary penalty schedule to reflect procedural changes and provide a greater deterrent to parking infractions. Amend two sections defining the use of skateboards on campus to allow alternative transportation within defined guidelines.

     Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 28B.10.528 and 28B.35.120(12).

     Summary: Editorial changes to various parking regulations, increases in the monetary penalty schedule (approved by the board of trustees, May 10, 2002), and major revisions to two sections regulating alternative transportation on campus.

     Reasons Supporting Proposal: Procedures governing parking and traffic have changed necessitating rule amendments. An increase in the monetary penalty schedule will provide a greater deterrent to parking and traffic infractions. In response to input from the university community, modifications governing alternative transportation use are proposed.

     Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting, Implementation and Enforcement: Rich Corona, Mitchell Hall, Room 203, (509) 963-2323.

     Name of Proponent: Rich Corona, Vice-President for Business and Financial Affairs, Central Washington University, public.

     Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.

     Explanation of Rule, its Purpose, and Anticipated Effects: Rules to be amended define Central Washington University's parking and traffic regulations. Proposed changes will enact increased rates approved by the board of trustees, reflect procedural changes in managing parking and traffic on the Ellensburg campus, and provide alternative transportation opportunities.

     Proposal Changes the Following Existing Rules: Proposal changes the monetary penalty schedule consistent with governing board adjustments, reflects procedural changes, and provides alternate transportation opportunities.

     No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. Proposed changes will not affect small businesses.

     RCW 34.05.328 applies to this rule adoption. RCW 34.05.328 (5)(b)(iv), effect of rules is changed. In addition to editorial changes involving procedures and changes to monetary penalties, proposed changes to the rules governing alternative transportation considerably alter the effect of the rules.
