(3) Those spaces designated as reserved paid parking may be allocated to each agency as follows:

(a) According to the location of the parking facility in relation to the building in which the agency’s employees are housed.

(c) These quotas may be recalculated thereafter on each July 1, to establish new percentiles in accordance with each department’s population changes or on each date the total number of quota spaces is increased or decreased.

(d) The remaining reserved spaces shall be allocated from the waiting list in the Bureau of Property Management on a first-come, first-served basis.

(g) The Department of Management Services may allocate a pro rata share of spaces to each department. The respective department may make internal assignments within its allotment.
