Assistant Supervisor of Parking and Security. However, as is the policy of the Security office each semester, a physical check of the lots will be made to see if some overselling of permits can occur. Percy explained the Security office oversells most years by 10% and rarely receive complaints from students unable to find a parking spot. / He further justified this policy by stating many students buy permits for cars which th~y may only have use of one or two days a week. The space in parking lots is sold on a first come, first serve basis, with lots closest to the buildings having a priority list for faculty and staff. Once these priorities are filled, any re:r:naining space is sold to students willing to pay the steep fee ($60 as opposed to $18 for the more distant lots). This year, there will be no hedging on ticker-paying, as MUN Security will have authority to issue police tickets, payable at Fort Townshend. Questions: · 1.
