 ESC Staff:  IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH ESC GARAGE PARKING PASS

Dear Colleagues,

We have just received notification from the Kite Realty parking staff that all individuals with an ESC garage parking swipe card are required to swap out their current pass with a new pass.  The parking gates are being replaced starting next week and require new passes to be issued accordingly.

As such, please follow these steps at your earliest convenience to ensure that your access to the garage is not interrupted:

  1. Complete a new parking pass application (which can be found at the front reception desk for your convenience).
  2. At your earliest convenience, take the completed application and your current parking swipe card to the ESC garage office (just to the North of the West garage entrance).  The ESC parking garage office is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.
  3. Secure your new parking garage swipe card.

Please note, if your pass is not replaced, you will not be able to get into the garage.

For vendor invoices related to Purchase Orders issued from the buyND system, the related Receipt must also be entered in the buyND system by Wednesday, July 5th at 5PM.

Please make others in your area aware of these dates, as appropriate.   Various sources were used to generate the distribution for this email, so I apologize if you received more than one copy.
If you have any questions or concerns about year end processing of your payment requests, please contact me.  Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.
