1. (a) Charges. Monthly charge for assigned parking will be at the rate set by the state legislature, or if no rate is set, at a rate set by the department. The department sets the rate at $10 for individual employees assigned reserved spaces within a lot or garage.
2. (b) Payment. Monthly charges shall be paid quarterly in advance, due on the first day of September, December, March, and June. The payment is considered delinquent on the 10th of the month, at which time a notice is sent to the employee advising him or her to remit payment within five working days of the date of notice.
3. (c) Partial payments. Payment for partial quarters will be allowed only when a state employee receives a parking assignment in mid-quarter. Parking assignments made prior to the 15th of the month require the full payment for the month. Assignments made on or after the 15th of the month will have the payment applied to the next month's lease.

4. (d) Refunds. Employees who cancel their assignment will be issued refunds as follows:

   1. (1) full refund for cancellations prior to the 15th of the first month of the quarter;
   2. (2) two-month refund for cancellations prior to the 15th of the second month, but after the 16th of the first month of quarter;
   3. (3) one-month refund for cancellations prior to the 15th of the third month, but after the 16th of the second month of quarter;
   4. (4) no refund for cancellations after the 15th of the third month of quarter.
5. (e) Petty cash. The parking administration will maintain a $500 petty cash account for payment of refunds. This account will be funded from parking revenue and will be administered in accordance with Texas Government Code, §§403.241-403.252, and approved procedures established for petty cash accounts by the Comptroller of Public Accounts.
