The Tigard High School Parking Permit process was implemented to remedy parking related issues for residents within the Tigard School area on school days, during school hours. Early last week, we received a complaint regarding a female student that parked Honda Accord, plate #749DLZ, within the THS Parking Permit area with permit #2014-062. Permit #2014-062 is assigned to a 2002 GMC Yukon registered to you. Tigard Police Officer Gill contacted the student regarding the parking permit displayed in her vehicle and she stated that a resident gave her the permit to use. When Tigard Police Officer Rinell asked her to return the permit she said she did not have it anymore. Tigard Municipal Code 10.28.175 Residential Parking Zones A. The city council, pursuant to TMC Section 10.32.010, may establish residential parking zones. The purpose of residential parking zones is to prohibit parking by nonresidents during specific time- periods within specific geographic areas used predominantly for residential purposes. The city council resolution which establishes the residential parking zone shall clearly define the geographic limits of the area affected by the zone and the hours during which the parking by nonresidents will be prohibited. Residents within the parking zones may obtain a permit from the city manager pursuant to subsection B of this section to allow for the parking of vehicles within the zone during the restricted hours. B. The city manager shall establish procedures and standards for the issuance of permanent and temporary permits to residents that will allow the residents and their guests to park their vehicles within residential parking zones during the restricted hours. At a minimum, the city manager shall establish rules which establish the criteria for issuance, surrender and revocation of permits, evidence of proof of residence and vehicle ownership, terms of the permit, standards for display of the permit, and allow for the issuance of temporary permits to residents for the parking of nonresident vehicles for temporary periods upon a showing of reasonable need for such permits. C. The city manager shall cause to be installed and maintained, pursuant to TMC Section 10.32.020, official signs for residential parking zones, which clearly identify the parking restrictions for nonresidents and the exception to those restrictions for permit holders within the residential parking zones. D. It shall be unlawful for any person to: 1. Provide false information in connection with an application for a permanent or temporary permit. 2. Fail to surrender a permit,when requested to do so,when the person is no longer entitled to the permit. 3. Use a permit when the permit holder is no longer entitled to the permit. 4. Use, or allow the use of a permit in conjunction with a vehicle other than the vehicle for which the permit was issued. 5. Use, or allow the use of a temporary permit in a manner inconsistent with the terms and limitations of the permit. E. The city manager is authorized to revoke any permit when the permit holder is found to be in violation of the provisions of this section, and, upon written notification thereof, the permit holder shall surrender the permit to the city. Failure to do so shall constitute a violation of this section. (Ord. 03-08; Ord. 91-26 §1) This is written notification to surrender THS Area Guest Parking Permits #2014-082 & 083 due to the unlawful actions of THS Area Parking Permit #2014-062. Furthermore, you are excluded from future THS Area Parking Permits. If you have additional questions regarding this situation, I can be reached at 503.718.2565. Sincerely, Alan F. Orr Chief of Police c: City Manager, Marty Wine
