Melvin Municipal Office Building (MMOB) Lot and City controlled surface parking not
available to the general public.
C. Employees assigned to outlying work locations who are periodically required to travel to
downtown facilities on official business will be provided validation stamps for parking in City
owned facilities or may park in designated short term areas where provided. Validation stamps
will not be furnished for normal parking for downtown area employees.
D. Employees who are permanently or temporarily disabled may qualify for handicap parking.
Employees who qualify will pay the same parking rates as other employees parked in the
same parking area but will be allotted a parking space close to their usual work location. To
be eligible for a handicap parking space in a downtown city-owned or operated facility, the
employee’s work location must be in the downtown area. The Medical Services Supervisor, in
collaboration with the Transportation Department’s Parking Operations Office will determine
if an employee qualifies for a handicapped parking privilege. Employees will be asked to provide
medical documentation to support a request for handicapped parking. Any employee who
fraudulently applies for or uses a handicapped parking space will be subject to disciplinary
action, up to and including termination.
5.2 Transit Passes - Some employees may choose to use the City operated transit system for
commuting purposes rather than a personal vehicle. The City will assist such use as follows:
A. Employees are eligible for assistance with either parking expenses as described in Section 5.1
or transit expenses as described below, but not both.
B. The City will subsidize employee transit pass purchases. The monthly limit is the lesser of
one-half of the monthly rate charged at the Greene Street Parking Deck or the maximum non-
taxable amount allowed by the Internal Revenue Code.
C. Passes are not transferable and must be used for commuting by the employee only.

parking facility will receive a City provided subsidy to offset the cost of parking.
C. Employees who are permanently or temporarily disabled and who may qualify for
handicapped parking should submit a request, in writing, to the Medical Services Supervisor in
