If you have received a parking ticket and would like to appeal it, you may fill out the attached form and submit it in person to a

filing an appeal, we recommend you read the below explanation of violation(s) and our position on each.

Enforcement Officer will be sent to that meter and conduct a test on it. If it is functioning at the time of the test,
the ticket will not be voided.)
2. Not Parked within Marked Space – You must park your vehicle within the space provided. Marked spaces are
those spaces that are designated by painted line markings on the roadway or parking lot. If your vehicle does not

painted yellow line.
