Subject of Possible Rule Making: Parking regulations, chapter 174-116 WAC.

Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 28B.40.120(12).

Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: Chapter 174-116 WAC was last updated in 1999. In 2014-2015, The Evergreen State College (TESC) conducted a broad review process that identified possible ways that TESC's parking program and rules could be updated.

Other Federal and State Agencies that Regulate this Subject and the Process Coordinating the Rule with These Agencies: None.

Process for Developing New Rule: Agency study; and students, faculty, staff, and other interested parties will have an opportunity to submit written comments on the proposed rules during the public comment period and will be able to present oral testimony at the public hearing.

Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting Andy Corn, Office of the Vice-President for Student Affairs, Library 3009, The Evergreen State College, 2700 Evergreen Parkway N.W., Olympia, WA 98505, phone (360) 867-6296, fax (360) 867-6886, corna@evergreen.edu.
