Section 174-116-072. Impounding of vehicles.

(1) No disabled or inoperative vehicle shall be parked on the campus for a period in excess of seventy-two hours. Vehicles which have been parked for periods in excess of seventy-two hours and which appear to be disabled or inoperative may be impounded and stored at the expense of the registered owner. Neither the college nor its employees shall be liable for loss or damage of any kind resulting from impounding and/or storage services provided by a private vendor. Notice of intent to impound will be posted on the vehicle twenty-four hours prior to impound. In any case, the owner or operator of a disabled vehicle should notify the public safety or parking office of the vehicle's location and estimated time of removal or repair.

(2) Any vehicle parked upon property of The Evergreen State College in violation of these regulations, including the motor vehicle and other traffic laws of the state of Washington, may be impounded and removed to such place for storage as the director of public safety selects. The expense of such impounding and storage shall rest solely on the owner or operator of the vehicle. Vehicles in violation of campus regulations or state traffic laws may also be impounded in place. Release from in-place impounds is contingent on payment of all outstanding fines and charges prior to release of the impounded/immobilized vehicle. The college and its employees shall not be liable for loss or damage of any kind resulting from such impounding and/or storage services provided by a private vendor.
