Culver Parking Lot Rules and Guidelines

Overview

• Please keep in mind these instructions could change week to week.
• We will ONLY be accepting CASH and make sure to provide the driver with a date-stamped windshield ticket.​
• The NEW cost for parking is $15. There is a "$200 bank" of $5.00 bills in the tote and should only be used to make change for parkers. At the end of the night, $200 in $5 bills should be returned to the tote (bank bag) for the next day.​

The BOXES WILL BE OUTSIDE in the WHITE DOCK BOX in front of the school (MAIN FRONT ENTRANCE). Please make sure you take your tote, cones and sign.

IMPORTANT:  ALL volunteers are the City of Saugatuck, and Saugatuck Public Schools, and are ambassadors to the community and should conduct themselves in a respectful way all times regardless of the situation. 

Student voluteers are welcome when accompanied by an adult BUT students should never handle the money

Parking Guidelines
1. Cars with a current Oval Beach sticker that features a Ⓟ  may park at no charge. 

2. There is no free parking for weddings or events at the SCA with the exception of two spots that will be coned off for catering purposes. (date of events: 6/7, 6/21, 6/28, 7/17, 7/19, 8/2, 8/16, 8/22, 8/23, and 8/30)

3.Scooters also has two spots that they own and they can park there for deliveries and well as The Signapore Room. - which they will BOTH cone off.

3. There are NO free parking arrangements with other local businesses. This is a directive from the City of Saugatuck! Business employees are instructed to park at the high school and take the shuttle or pay to park. The SCA has their own lot for its guests. If they overflow the guests may choose to park in the Culver lot but they need to be charged.

4. When the lot is full, turn the ‘lot full’ sign. Once a parking spot is vacated, turn the sign back around.

Additional Rules:​

• ​Handicapped spaces are only for cars with proper stickers/plates. Per ADA law we may NOT charge for a handicapped parking spot and they may be used anytime.
• Motor homes, large trucks, and boats/trailers are NEVER allowed to park in the lot.
• Call or text Liz Wilson at 616-836-6508  or Nickie Baumann at (616) 953-2025 if there is an issue. Texting is a faster option than a voicemail.

Starting a Shift

1. The first shift of the day should collect all of the supplies (sign, Culver tote, Flag, and cones) from the white dock box in front of the MAIN FRONT ENTRANCE at the school.
2. Because of the new $15/car charger, you no longer need to bring change. $200 in $5-bills should be provided.At the end of each shift, make sure you leave the same amount in the cash bank and note it on the reconciliation form.
3. COMPLETE the provided checklist (in plastic tote) before your shift begins.
4. Note the first ticket number that will be used during the shift. The volunteer will need to enter the date of each ticket sold for that shift (it is a good practice to have a few tickets ready at the start of the shift). At the end of a shift, reconcile the number of tickets sold to the amount of money collected. Distribute the tickets in order according to the number printed on them.

Ending a Shift

1. When a shift ends, the volunteer should fill out the reconciliation form. Record the ending ticket numbers sold; the number of the tickets x the $ amount per ticket should = the amount of money you collected minus the change you started with and will leave for the next shift.  # of tickets X 15 = total amount - (change started of given to next shift). IF YOU ARE THE LAST SHIFT, return "keep out" money, AKA $200 (in $5 bills) of start-up money, and leave it in the bank bag in the dock box.
2. Fill out the the bank deposit slip and envelope. Bank deposits MUST be make at the end of EVERY shift. Always use a deposit slip. Use more than one deposit envelope (with a deposit slip. in each) for a large deposit. Make your deposit in the depository just outside City Hall, on Butler Street (Whitre Building). IMPORTANT - do not overstuff the deposit envelope with money. The deposit slot is very narrow and overstuffing envelop will make it impossible to fit in the slot OR it will get stuck. Use multiple envelops/deposit slips if needed.
3. Staple the copy of the deposit slip(s), FACE UP on the back side of the reconciliation form - NOT the front. Leave the form in the designated folder in the plastic tote.
4. The LAST SHIFT of the DAY, should return all supplies (sign, tote, cones, etc) to the white dock box that is at the front entrance of the school - THIS MUST had the start-up money in it.
5. NEVER take a supplies and money home with you.
