The Consumer Protection Association (CPA) is looking for faculty, staff and students who think they aren't responsible for parking tickets that have been billed to them by the Security and Parking Department
By BRENT ANDERSON
Kansan Staff Reporter
Carol Bone, director of CPA, said Tuesday the CPA was trying to determine whether to pursue an investigation into the policies used by Security and Parking that assigned responsibility for parking tickets. The police were not necessarily responsible for the tickets.
A case filed with CPA last December by a University of Kansas student prompted the request for more information, Boone said. The case concerns a Security and Parking letter to the student demanding payment for parking and to the student said she wasn't responsible for.
BOONE SAID that in a notarized

Rufs said that the Senate wasn't responsible for notifying each group of its right to attend all meetings, but that no one excluded from any committee meeting.
SHE SAID that hearings must be open and that organizations would be able to attend the meetings, when each committee has a budget of funds to be given to each organization.

people worked hard for me. I hope to be able to add to the work on the board."
HE SAID HE would have to familiarize himself with the specifics of problems faced by the board before he could come up with specific goals for his four-year term.
Hack said she preferred to think of the problems faced by the school board as “challenges.” She said her familiarity with the students was a big factor in her strong showing.
"I think the fact we have lived in Lawrence for a number of years helped me," she said. "We know a lot of people from different parts of town."
"Before we tighten up our use of facilities," she said, "we need to look at
A ticket sign outside Allen Field House served double duty as a flag pole Tuesday. Allen was a voting location in city elections.
Hack said that before consolidation of school facilities became a goal of the board, programs such as extension programs and alternative schools needed to be examined.
Oldfather attributed his win to a door-to-door campaign and hard work.
"TVE GOT A LOT of experience in solving and recorcling conflicts," he said.
His goal is to satisfy the needs of all the different students in the system, he said.
"The real problem we'll face," Oldfather said, "is taking the care of the city's expansion to the southwest area of town, when Clinton won in that district from that area of the city into town now."
"First of all, there was hard work by a lot of dedicated and concerned people," she said. "Secondly, a lot of people I talked to share some of the same concerns I did."
"LAWRENCE REFLECTS the national situation," she said. "There's a bit of slippage in aptitude test scores." I'd like to find out why. I'd like for the board to improve its communication channels with teachers and parents."
She said that declining student scores on national aptitude tests indicated a possible area of concern.
Mastison said that two factors contributed to her election win.
Twin bill
Only 9,321 people, or 26 per cent of the 36,072 registered to vote in Douglas County, voted in this election. This was slightly better than the turnout for the primary election, when only about 23 per cent of the eligible voters participated.
Bradley won 14 and tied for the lead in two of the 27 polling packs. Hack led in five places and finished second in 16 places. Oldfather led in four and tied for the lead in two places and came in second in one and third in nine places. Masinton led in two places, finished second in two places, third in four places and fourth in five places.
statement the complainant said she didn't own a car, she didn't park anywhere on campus on the date the ticket was issued and she didn't even have a driver's license.
Mastison won her home polling places 282 to 182 for the biggest margin in her close race with Holzneister for the fourth spot in the election.
"I think there is a reasonable question as to whether a student should be held responsible for a ticket of this kind," Boone said.
She said that was why the CPA was seeking evidence that it had been requested to relocate for RU permit ticker股
This specific case has been resolved as far as the original party is concerned, Boone said, but Security and Parking has now assigned responsibility for the ticket to the same person who has the same address in University records and owns the car that was ticketed.
"WE DON'T FEEL the problem has been resolved," Boone said. "We are certainly aware of the situation facing Security and Parking and sympathize with them, but there is a question about who they place responsibility for a ticket on."
She said CPA wasn't saying that parking tickets shouldn't be paid.
"In most cases, the person probably did park in violation of parking regulations," Boone said. "We do feel, however, that we have a ticket. We don't have a ticket that they are absent for."
FRICKY SAID that the Parking and Traffic Board had cooperated with CPA in explaining ticket procedures and that CPA would be on the board in clearing up ticket problems.
Phill Rickey, Oberlin senior and chairman of the Parking and Traffic Board, said that there were problems in determining responsibility for a parking ticket, but that he thought there were adequate procedures the student could follow to cancel an unjust ticket.
"Students have several ways to deal with an unfair ticket. Frickey said, "They can use the present appeal process, they can give evidence that they were not responsible for the ticket or they can get a letter from the university as unsuitable if it was a visitor on the campus."
There is a certain amount of flexibility in the appeals process, according to Frickey, and if a ticket is unfair, the problem is usually resolved.
"SECURITY AND PARKING determines what party is responsible for a parking violation by charging the violation to the police, and in question in question is registered," the letter stated.
In response to CPA inquiries, the Parking and Traffic Board sent a letter to CPA outlining traffic and security issues. The board would be responsible for a parking ticket

Boone said she hoped procedures could be

Trickey said that if anyone had audited the ticket, they were the problem, the Parking and Traffic Board would be more than happy to consider them.
The commission's approval of the $15 million in bonds isn't binding on the new commission, which will take office at the next regular meeting on April 8. Final approval of the project won't be sought by the commission after June 1 but date for construction.
$15,976,100 was $1,318,100 less than the November of $17,295,200 for the
month.
The deferral was in accordance with a 10-day stay to allow for a possible appeal on Paddock's ruling, which stated that the commission's action on the garage location was administrative and therefore not subject to a referendum.
THE COMMISSION deferred action on construction to the new commission.
