Smoking near entrances and parking without permits are two issues on Supervisor Jim Herndon’s radar lately. He and his staff at campus security started full enforcement of parking on Sept. 2 when the two-week grace period expired. Most parking tickets are $25.

“Because of the new construction and moving a bus stop, people don’t know or can’t seem to find the new parking area,” Herndon said, referring to the temporary lot behind Loma Chica School.

Besides the construction confusion, people exiting buildings through a veil of smoke are probably aware of smokers who congregate too close to buildings. The smoke screen could get worse when winter rains come and people huddle under overhangs. According to Herndon, there aren’t any designated smoking areas on campus except on the roof of Building 1, but all smokers should be mindful of non-smokers and stay at least 20 feet from doorways, hallways, over-hangs, vents and windows.

“We do courtesy enforcement on a consistent basis and try to move people along,” he said, adding that they try to avoid confrontations, but if someone continuously causes problems, he or she could be suspended.
