         III.      Parking Passes/Visitor Passes

a.      Phil: I need copies of your license and registration to give you a parking pass, so your car isn’t towed.  Everyone will be receiving visitors' passes, but we are still collecting old ones so it will be a short while before the new ones get out.  Please keep track of your passes; it is a $3 fine if you lose yours. I will keep track of abuse to the system and will tow cars with forged passes.  Residents get first priority in the parking lot, if the lot is full, find a visitor in the lot, check whose tag it is outside my door (S108) and ask that person to move their car.  Car towing runs $70 from our lot.
