"We are looking forward to a stimulating
and exciting dialogue to help craft draft vision,
mission and values statements and broad goals

will be to open up this issue to some thoughtful
discussion and hopefully a more sensitive under¬
standing of some of the emotions that are divid¬
ing our society as a whole.

All employees will be receiving a detailed
memo this week regarding the new pay parking
program at KEC which will go mto effect Mon¬
day, January 17.

In brief, the charge will be $ 1 per day from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., payable at the coin and credit
card dispensers which will be located in the parking lots. (The charge will apply to night parking after
April 1 once all CE students are notified). This charge will apply to every employee, including all
administrators. The lots will be patrolled and managed by Impark.
One concern that has been heard is that there is not a pay-in-advance system which would alio w

employees to buy parking tickets which would cover a longer period, perhaps for a long as a year.
Others have asked for a payroll deduction system to accommodate payments.
"The pay parking is expected to generate over $200,000 a year, and, of course, we want to
keep our administration costs at a minimum so that all of those funds can be put to the best use," said
John Cruickshank. "However, for convenience sake the College will be evaluating different pay-inadvance systems to determine what might be feasible."

Manager of The Exchange, in care of College Administrative Services.
