Envelope can be turned in to Operations staff or placed in the red lock box located at the top of the General Aviation Center (GAC) stairs to your right, just before entering the GAC doors. Operations staff is available 6 AM – 10 PM to write a transient parking receipt for fees. Call Operations staff on their cell, 310-710-2811, if you cannot find them in their GAC office.
