<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Good afternoon,<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">I just met with chief of police, Officer Waltz, and the officer who oversees South Campus, Officer Nappo. Two COM student representatives also attended regarding the alleged
parking policy changes. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">What I learned:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The parking office and police department are not always on the same page.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Pre-covid, there weren’t enough spots in B-lots because the parking office issued too many. They decided to assign spots to prevent over-issuing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">During covid, spots were open to anyone coming in for research.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Post-covid, some B-lot permit holders remain on a hybrid/flex schedule. Their hours aren’t necessarily M-F/9-5. Sometimes their spots were taken by non B-lot permit holders.
There are other issues dealing with VA. SU games and such..<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The police department decided to aggressively ticket cars without permits last week. This was
<b>not</b> supposed to include any cars indicating lot-pass holders and/or U-pass holders. The misinformed officers thought they were supposed to ticket any car without B-lot permit permissions after hours.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Bottom line:
<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Policy hasn’t changed. Police department needed to take some aggressive action due to said issues. Some of the ticketing public safety officers were misinformed on how to
proceed. Ticketing is going to be heavier for violators. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">What I will do:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">I’ve requested that all students who were ticketed last week should have them appealed without conflict. Chief Waltz said he is already working on that. If you wrongfully
received a ticket last week and this isn’t the case, let me know ASAP. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">I am going to draft a memo outlining regular parking policy. I just want to reiterate policy and to create a simple reference. I will include contact information and resources
for how to proceed in outstanding situations (i.e. if you are driving a rental car onto campus, how to request a U-pass, etc). I will write this tonight and then I’ve requested a review by Officer Nappo. If all the information is deemed accurate, COM student
reps and COGS will send out to the corresponding student bodies.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Chief Waltz is willing to meet at any time if any other concerns regarding his department. He isn’t overly accessible, but he will make the time if you request it. He’ll
probably give you a cool pin, too! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Let me know if you have any concerns. Otherwise, if you are a lot-pass holder (including Geneva Towers, Jefferson) and/or a U-pass holder, policy hasn’t changed. Park in
B-lots as needed after 4pm (move car by 7am). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">If after all of this, you are still wrongfully ticketed, just put your ticket in an envelop and I’ll get it in front of the Chief Waltz.
