Parking Services at SCC
    Parking - Vehicle Booting

Spokane Community College, in an effort to reduce the number of repeat offenders, will begin using a vehicle immobilization device (commonly known as a boot) on vehicles that meet certain criteria.

The following circumstances would make a vehicle "boot eligible":

• 1 unpaid parking citation on a vehicle with an out-of-state license plate and the owner is unknown
• 3 unpaid citations on an account or the equal dollar amount of 3 minimum fines
• 3 citations issued to a vehicle in 5 academic days
• If during a probationary period after meeting with the Associate Dean of Student Services for Student Development the individual violates his or her agreement with the associate dean
• At the direction of the President of SCC or designee

For the boot to be removed, the following would need to happen:

1. A removal fee of $30 and all outstanding fines would have to be paid at the Cashiers' Office.
2. Proof of payment would then be provided to the SCC security office and the boot would be removed.
   • If the Cashiers' Office is closed, the offender may sign a contract agreeing to pay the fee and all fines within one business day.
   • If the offender does not pay the fee and fines in full within one business day, the vehicle will again become "boot eligible."
   • If the offender's vehicle is booted a second time prior to paying the fee and fines, an additional $50 fee will be assessed for the second boot removal.
