Parking :

User is responsible for making any necessary parking arrangements through Parking Services.  Individual permits and lot reservations are available.  The cost of these options will vary based on the non-profit status of User, if applicable, and the size and location of the Event.  Once this Agreement is signed, dated, and placed on file, User may contact Parking Services directly at 208-426-4393 to finalize parking arrangements.  Arrangements should be made and confirmed as soon as possible after signing this Agreement.

The Facility may be occupied by User only during the dates and times described in this Agreement.

If User remains after the scheduled reservation end time, User may be billed additional charges.
