The policy will help identify parking facilities for use by airport employees and the procedure for the authorization and sale of employee parking permits or access for the assigned parking areas at SRQ. POLICY Employee parking shall be provided to active employees of airline/airport tenants (Employees) who secure a local SRQ ID badge from the Sarasota Manatee Airport Authority (SMAA). Such parking privileges shall extend to those Employees who are based at SRQ (Based Employees) as well as those Employees who are not based at SRQ (usually commuting flight crew members) provided they are permanent residents of the airport's service area consisting of Sarasota, Manatee, Pinellas, Hillsborough, Polk, Hardee, Desoto, and Charlotte Counties (Non-based Employees). Employee Parking shall not be provided to retired personnel. PROCEDURES Access to the employee parking lot shall only be available by use of a preprogrammed airport D badge or a special parking card. In order to obtain a hang tag for the vehicle, each Based Employee must present a valid Airport I.D. Badge to the ID Badge/Parking Office on the first floor in the terminal. The ID Badge will be programmed by the ID Badge/Parking Office to open the parking lot gate. Authorized access to the employee parking lot will end on the hang tag's expiration date or the Employees' ID badge expiration/deactivation date, whichever shall first occur. Prompt renewal of the hangtag or ID badge will be necessary to renew access to the parking lot. Non-based Employees who are permanent residents of the airport's service area may purchase a hang tag whereupon they will be eligible to receive a parking lot access card.

2 The employee lot and hang tags are to be used only by the authorized person. Hangtags are NOT to be transferred between other Employees, spouses, friends or relatives. Valid hang tags must be displayed at al} times on vehicles parking in parking lots requiring hang tag identification by hanging it on the rearview mirror. Parking authorizations will automatically expire on the last day of the month shown on the hang tag. Ali vehicles parking in SRQ lots must be currently licensed with a valid, non-expired, license plate.

No vehicle maintenance, washing of vehicle, changing of vehicle fluids or storage of such fluids will be allowed (Oil, Antifreeze, Brake Fluids, and Transmission fluids). Do not park vehicles which are leaking any fluids in the lot. Do not damage any SRQ property as this will be cause for prosecution.
