Task Force Members
Library Appeals Committee
Faculty Senate Representative: Rebecca Bechtold - LAS Humanities (2017-2020)
Parking Appeals Committee
Responsible office:Troy Bruun, AVP & University Controller, 红领巾瓜报.
The Parking Appeals Committee is comprised of a variety of employees (unclassified,
USS and faculty) and students, and they are tasked with the decision making process
on parking appeals at 红领巾瓜报. The process takes place almost exclusively
online with the use of websites for NuPark and Smartsheet as well as email dialogue
as needed.
When a customer receives a citation they are allowed 20 days to appeal if they feel the citation is unjust. The customer appeals the citation online via NuPark and the appeal is then populated in the committee鈥檚 portal. A customer is defined as any student, faculty, staff or guest who receives a parking citation on campus.
A daily email is sent to the committee any time there are currently active, open appeals in the system. The committee then has 10 days to read, review and vote on an appeal before it must be closed. Committee members are encouraged to log on to the NuPark system multiple times a week, otherwise reviewing all open appeals in one sitting can be a very overwhelming task. Judgements are placed on appeals on Fridays, typically in the morning, by a non-committee member.
The review process includes reading the customer鈥檚 reasoning, viewing the citation, viewing the photos on the citation and other possible research (i.e. checking the basketball schedule to confirm a game day date or reviewing the parking map to determine the nature of the parking lot). Committee members are asked to review each appeal independently. However, if a member feels that dialogue needs to occur they can do so on the Smartsheet by typing in any comments they have on the 鈥渋nternal comments鈥� section. The Smartsheet is set up like an Excel spreadsheet and each appeal is given its own row for votes, customer comments and internal comments.
While most appeals are easy to pass judgement on, the committee recognizes others may need special attention. In situations like that we often reach out to the customer in an effort to remedy not only the current appeal at hand but also to help prevent future citations. The committee has been known to offer a vote of 鈥渦phold鈥� to a customer in exchange for them buying a parking pass, if they have new tag information and forgot to update it, etc. While most dialogue amongst the committee takes place on Smartsheet, there is the possibility of some communication occurring over email as well.
The committee has set a standard that every denied appeal is sent out with a comment to the customer letting them know what happened and why the decision was made. A number of upheld appeals will also be sent with a comment to the customer if we feel the appeal is a teachable moment that would benefit from such wording.

Strategic Planning Steering Committee
Traffic Appeals Committee (moving violations)
Responsible office/person: Associate Vice President & University Controller
All meetings will be held at 2nd Wed of the month; 2:00 pm 鈥� 5:00 pm in the Rhatigan Student Center room 257, Ashton/Bridges Room (not all meetings are expected to last until 5:00, dependent upon the number of appeals and deliberation).
Charge: Faculty, staff and students will have one set of citations that can be issued and can be appealed through the Traffic Appeals Committee on campus comprised of representatives of faculty, staff and students. A second set of citations that can be issued are set in District Court with Sedgwick County, and those can be written to drivers depending on the nature and reoccurrence of the traffic infraction. This gives officers a way to hold drivers who are not connected to the university accountable as well. The monies collected for affiliated citations go to a general fund, while the District Court citations go to the state of Kansas.
Effective 11.2017
