Motor Pool vehicle rental rates
Effective Nov. 1, 1999:
Motor Pool vehicle rental rates are adjusted annually to reflect the cost
of operations, new vehicle acquisition, and vehicle maintenance. The Central Administration Budget Office has approved these new rates.
The Motor Pool is a self-sustaining organization and rental rates are set at a level that recovers only the cost of doing business. Mileage rates are adjusted based on a projection of cost per mile for fuel, labor, repairs and parts. The daily rates are adjusted based on the cost of vehicles and the number of vehicles operated per vehicle category during the year.
The daily rate continues to rise as new vehicles are added to the fleet and as the vehicle upgrade program continues. Many vehicles are over 12+ years old and have over 100,000 miles. Most of these were replaced last year or will be replaced in the coming year. Rental rates rose less in most common vehicle categories such as sedans, compacts and most vans since there was a corresponding increase in the ratio of new vehicles in each class. However, in several specialty vehicle categories (4-wheel-drive vehicles and 15-passenger vans) there was a significantly higher increase due to the increase in the cost of new vehicles spread over a smaller number of vehicles.
There were several outside factors, which have also had a significant impact on rental rates:
Collision Damage FeeThe Motor Pool will be able to maintain the collision insurance fee at only $1.00 per day per vehicle. This fee will continue to pay for vehicle damage and will continue to replace the previous policy of recharging collision damage directly to the responsible department.

Addendum to Environmental Impact Statement
Applications: Major Master Plan Amendment; Shoreline Public Facility Approval/Shoreline Development Permit; Master Use Permit; Council Ordinance Modifying Restrictions.
Proponent: University of Washington
Description of Proposal: The University of Washington proposes to construct an indoor practice facility on the grass practice football field located directly east of the Nordstrom Tennis Center and South and West of Walla Walla Road. The building will be approximately 100,000 square feet with a maximum height of 88.5 feet at the peak of the central sloped roof. The proposal also includes modification of an existing development restriction to allow construction of the building and replacement with enhancement of the wetland environments/public access to the east of Walla Walla Road.
Location of Proposal: On the University Campus in the Athletic Core directly east of the Nordstrom Tennis Center and south and west of Walla Walla Road.
Lead Agency: University of Washington
The lead agency for this proposal published a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the University of Washington General Physical Development Plant (GPDP) and a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) was issued for the GPDP on Sept. 11, 1990. The addendum adds information and analyses and does not substantially change the analysis of significant impacts and alternatives in the existing environmental documents. This decision was made after review of the GPDP, DEIS, FEIS and the information and analyses for the current proposal. This information is available to the public on request.
This Addendum is issued under WAC 197-11-600(4)©. Any comments must be submitted by Nov. 15, 1999 to:
