			 scheduled fine for said violation, in accordance with the penalties set forth
			 in OAR 573-050-0040.
(4) After
			 receipt of a parking citation, the individual must, within fifteen calendar
			 days of the date of the citation, file a request for a hearing before the

			 reviewed monthly by the CPS/Parking director; or by another CPS representative
			 that the director appoints in his absence. Second appeals will be reviewed by
			 the TPPC board. Appellants may appear in person to speak on their behalf at
			 both first and second appeals. Only the President or Vice President of Finance
			 and Administration has the authority to overrule a second appeal decision.
(5) Any University personnel or
			 students issuing a Guest permit may contact Parking Services (at the Enrollment
			 Services Center in Britt Hall) to transfer responsibility for citations
			 received by their guests to themselves. This in no way implies the fine will be
			 suspended, only that the guest will not be billed or pursued to pay the fine.
			 The University personnel or students will be responsible and have all avenues
			 of appeal available as if the citation were issued to them personally.
(6) Any person wishing to take a
			 case before the CPS/Parking director must prepare a Petition for Appeal of
			 Traffic Violation for a hearing indicating why the citation should be
			 adjudicated. The petition form, available from Parking Services, must be
			 completed online and submitted to parking services within fifteen calendar days
			 of the citation date.
(7) A person
			 appealing the citation may appear before the CPS/Parking Director to present
			 his/her case. If the appellant does not wish to appear in person, for reasons
			 he/she may specify, the written appeal will be reviewed by the CPS/Parking
			 Director, which shall render judgment. The appellant shall be notified by mail
			 or email of the decision of the CPS/Parking Director.
(8) The party appealing the citation may have
			 legal counsel to present his/her case at both the first and second appeal
			 hearings.
(9) In adjudicating
			 appeals, the CPS/Parking Director shall have full authority to do the
			 following:

(b) Find the individual not guilty
			 of the charges of the citation;

			 apply an administration fee of $10.

			 imposing any fine; issue a reprimand or warning; or impose a fine.
