Iowa Administrative Code › Agency 681 - Regents Board › Chapter 4 - Traffic and Parking at Universities › Rule 681-4.71 - Violations

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
Sanctions may be imposed for violation of registration and
				parking rules as follows:
(1)
Notice of violations.
The university shall give written notice
			 of all parking or registration violations. Such notice may be given by means of
			 a notice of parking violation placed conspicuously on the offending vehicle,
			 and such notice shall constitute constructive notice of the violation to the
			 owner and operator of the vehicle and to any person in whose name the vehicle
			 is registered or parking privileges have been granted.
(2)
Sanctions.
Reasonable
			 monetary sanctions may be imposed upon students, employees, and visitors for
			 violation of vehicle registration or parking rules. The amount of such
			 sanctions, not to exceed $50 for each offense, shall be established by the
			 university and approved by the state board of regents except sanctions
			 established by statute will be imposed at the current statutory amount. A
			 schedule of all sanctions for improper registration and parking shall be
			 published and available for public inspection during normal business hours in
			 the office of the supervisor and in the office of the state board of regents.
			 Registration and parking sanctions may be assessed against the owner or
			 operator of the vehicle involved in each violation or against any person in
			 whose name the vehicle is registered or parking privileges have been granted
			 and charged to their university account. Registration and parking sanctions may
			 be added to student tuition bills or may be deducted from student deposits or
			 from the salaries or wages of employees or from other funds in the possession
			 of the university.
(3)
Impoundment.
Any vehicle parked on the campus in violation of
			 parking or registration rules may be impounded and removed. The university
			 shall give written notice of impoundment to the owner of the vehicle or to the
			 person in whose name the vehicle is registered or parking privileges have been
			 granted. A reasonable fee may be charged for the cost of impoundment and
			 storage, which fee must be paid prior to the release of the vehicle. Impounded
			 vehicles which are not claimed within 60 days will be deemed abandoned property
			 and may be sold, under procedures set forth in Iowa Code chapter 579, and the
			 proceeds of the sale will be applied to the payment of the costs of
			 impoundment, storage and sale. The balance, if any, shall be sent to the
			 owner.
(4)
Hearing.
Students and employees may have a hearing on any
			 registration or parking violation. A hearing request shall be submitted to the
			 supervisor in writing within seven days after notice of the violation was given
			 and shall state the grounds of the hearing request. The supervisor may allow
			 additional time within which to request a hearing for good cause shown.
			 Hearings shall be conducted by an impartial committee to be chosen in a manner
			 approved by the president of the university. The person requesting said hearing
			 shall be afforded the opportunity for an administrative hearing by the hearing
			 committee and shall be given reasonable notice of the time and place of the
			 hearing. The decision of the hearing committee shall be final and may be
			 reviewed
de novo
by the district court as provided by
			 law.
