MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Security
FROM:
SUBJECT:
REFERENCE:
1. Reference advises that it is almost a certainty that
the Headquarters complex will be included in the Federal paid-
parking program beginning on 1 October 1980. Reference sug-
gested appropriate discussions between the Offices of Logistics
and Security as to how paid parking regulations can be effec-
tively enforced. On 14 and 22 July 1980, the Chief, Headquarters
Security Branch (C/HSB) and I met with the Chief, Logistics
Services Division (C/LSD) and the Office of Logistics (OL)
paid-parking program task force leader to discuss implementa
tion of the paid--parking program at Headquarters. These dis-
cussions were predicated on the request by the Deputy Director
of Security to develop options and recommendations as to the
manner and degree of OS participation in the program.
2. The OL has already completed much of its analysis and
planning with respect to the implementation of paid parking at
the Headquarters complex. This planning to date has been
based on the assumption that OS would ensure compliance through
the Federal Protective Officers (FPO) working under its cog-
r izance.. In reference, attention was called to OMB guidance
the I':i_I.d p~IIkITI'T program requires an effective program
for deterring Reference notes that the key to its
success is strict enforcement. During the 14 and 22 July
sessions, OL representatives emphasized theneed for a vigorous
enforcement activity.

3. The institution of a strict enforcement program under
the aegis of the HSB with FPO's poses two problems from an'
OS standpoint:
a. Resources: The HSB estimates that an ef-
fective enforcement ("ticketing") pr.ograri would
require the full-time assignment of four officers
during the second relief (0700-1500). This number
is needed in view of the fact that all vehicles on
the compound would need to be checked; oxxisting
procedures where most "tickets" are issued based. on
complaint would no longer apply. All lots would
require patrolling, including the west lot; patrols
would be needed at least once in the morning and
once in the afternoon with a third preferably around
noon. A recent survey has concluded that these
patrols, in order to be effective, would be on foot,
or possibly would use mopeds or scooters.
As you are aware, our FPO complement has
recently been reduced in the Headquarters complex
by 66,000 hours. We have already committed ourselves
to raising this reduction in FY 1982 to 75,000 hours.
As you know, the GSA recently suggested a reduction
of 90,000 hours. These reduction figures do not even
take into c any increase in coverage ap-
plicable to Building. The reductions
that have been ins i u e to date, while not creating
any substantial denigration of the security protection
of the Headquarters compound, do not allow for the
assignment of any officers for full-time parking en-
forcement duties. Diversion of FPO's to such duties
inevitably would lead to-further curtailment of other
services--in all probability the closing of additional
entrances.
b. Public relations: The FPO's assigned to the
Headquarters complex are clearly recognized by the
employee population as serving under the cognizance
of the Office of Security. The current parking en-
forcement procedures provide as low a level of visi-
bility as possible, while at the same time ensuring a
degree of order in the parking arena surrounding the
building. Generally speaking, "tickets" are issued
for the most part on complaint, or to high visibility
violators. Despite the low posture of this program
at the present time, the Office of Security

net involved in a number of problem cases
and HSB receive a certain amount of complaints and
Any strict enforcement of parking regula-
tions, especially with reference to paid parking,
hardly an issue with great employee enthusiasm,
will. inevitably increase the burden of special
case and complaint handling by the HSB. More im-
portantly, it presages a return from the standpoint
of the OS image to those years when the Office was so
clearly identified with parking regulation enforce-
rmment. From a public relations standpoint, in Years
past this situation was determined to be counter-
productive to our desire to encourage employees to
bring their problems to us. OS participation in a
vigorous paid parking enforcement program would do
the same.
4. Discussions with OL representatives pursued unsuccess-
fully a number of options:
a. The suggestion that an independent parking manage-
ment authority handle the implementation of paid parking
at Headquarters under contract was dismissed based on
its reported rejection earlier by the DDA;
b. The concept of hiring "meter maids to patrol
the Headquarters parking areas was set aside by advice
from the Office of General Counsel that such individu-
als would not have citation authority;
c. The assumption of paid parking program imple-
mentation by the GSA, which is willing reportedly to
take on the entire task, has been preempted by an
earlier senior management decision;

a. FPO enforcement: Vigorous enforcement, as
noted above, would require the dedicated assign-
ment of four officers on the second relief and
preferably the procurement of mopeds or motor
scooters. Inevitably it would involve the permanent
_
closing of additional. building entrances

These indit iduals, with no citation Ia.ui.hor:ity, would
issue parking violation notices. These Notices would
be the basis for the imposition of ad{inistrative
penalties under the DCI's special authority. This
option would have to be administered through component
support officers.
c. Non-vi_gorous.FPO enforcement: Under this
option, a single FPO would be dedicated to the full-
tirle monitoring of parking throughout the compound.
Election of this option would be with full acknov.l-
edgerlent that the officer would be making spot checks
of all areas and that the paid parking requi relllcnts
1?;oul.d not be uniformly enforced in all areas through-
out the day. To obtain the dedicated assignment of
an FPO for these duties, permanent closing of the
tunnel entrance would be proposed.
d. Administrative enforcement: This option
would continue the enforcement of parking regulations
as is presently being done and would not include the
issuance of citations for failure to display a paid
park.ino sticker. The OI.. advises that monthly print-
outs of employees delinquent in paying their parking
fees v. -ill. be sent to individual components; it further
states that components receiving these printouts will
be requested to ensure that delinquent employees pay
their fees or return the narking permits. Under
this option, problems associated with traffic conges-

6. The Chief, Headquarters Security Branch, and I have
reviewed the pros and cons of the options outlined above. It
is our view that they are listed in inverse order to their
acceptability. We feel that option "d" is the most desirable
and option "a" the most undesirable. Our assessment is based
essentially on the problems associated with resources and OS
public relations. Paid parking necessarily will not be wel-
comed by our employees. In itself, its implementation will
inevitably cause a furor. A mass issuance of violation
citations under the aegis of the Office of Security can only
compound the furor and focus it on the Office of Security.
