| Remarks | FAILED - The Parking Appeals Panel is understaffed to expedite this process. |
| Whereas | Parking tickets administered by the UTA Police may be appealed if the recipient believes that he or she has a valid case for dismissal; and |
| Whereas | The recipient of the ticket must first pay the ticket and then apply for the appeal, at which time it will be queued for a hearing date; and |
| Whereas | Once an appeal is requested, it may take several months for it to be heard, during which time financial hardship or a loss of communication with the UTA Police Dept. may occur; and |
| Whereas | If there were a statute of limitations on parking tickets, a much more expedient system of appeals would be created. |
| Be It Further Resolved That | A statute of limitations of one month is applied to all tickets from the time the appeal is requested to the time that the hearing is held; and |
| Be It Further Resolved That | If there is no hearing time scheduled within this time frame, the ticket will be automatically dismissed, and the recipient will be granted a refund. |
