I certify that only those personnel who are required to have a permit (i.e., employees who store a State-owned vehicle at or in the vicinity of their home on a frequent basis, as defined below) have a Vehicle Home Storage Permit on file with this department.
California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 599.808 (d) Storage of State-Owned Motor Vehicles:
(d) When a state-owned vehicle is to be stored frequently at or in the vicinity of an employee's home, regardless of the reason, a permit must be obtained in advance from his/her department. The permit must be signed by the department head, a deputy, or the chief administrative officer. The Department of General Services will prescribe the form and procedures relating to such permits. Permits will be available for review by the Department of General Services. At the discretion of General Services, any agency may be required to submit permits to it for final approval. For the purpose of enforcing this rule, "frequently" is defined as storing a state-owned vehicle at an employee's home, or in the vicinity thereof, for more than 72 nights over a 12-month period or more than 36 nights over any three-month period.
I certify that whenever an employee stores a State-owned vehicle at or in the vicinity of his/her home, he/she meets at least one of the following criteria from the California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 599.802, which is also cited on the current Vehicle Home Storage Permit, STD Form 377:
1. The employee departs or returns regularly from official trips away from the employee's headquarters under circumstances that make it impractical to use other means of transportation.
2. The employee departs or returns regularly from official trips away from the employee's headquarters and the employee’s home is reasonably en route to or from the employee’s headquarters or work site.
3. The employee uses the vehicle to conduct State business on the same day or before working hours on the succeeding work day. The mere possibility that the vehicle may be used outside of business hours by an employee “on call” does not qualify.
4. The employee responds to urgent or emergency calls outside scheduled working hours.
5. State, other government entity, or commercial parking is not available.
6. The employee’s duties require the employee to work unplanned overtime on a regular basis with the result that no other practical means of getting home is available.
I certify that this agency is in compliance with Executive Order B-2-11 and has:
¨ Reviewed all active Vehicle Home Storage Permits to determine whether each permit is cost effective and serves a critical business function, and retained only those Permits that are absolutely essential; and,
¨ Reduced the total number of active Vehicle Home Storage Permits by the number that have been found non-essential or cost-ineffective.
