            payment, after which a 10.00 late fee will be added to the parking charge, and a billing notice will be sent to the registered
            owner of the vehicle.  The appropriate fee is determined based on the time the vehicle entered the lot as is indicated on
            the ticket issued at time of entry until the posted time of lot closing.

 

            2. Failure to Pay Upon Exiting a Pay Lot

The owner of any vehicle exiting a visitor / patient parking facility without paying or otherwise having parking validated
will be sent a billing notice for a full day’s parking. 

 

Sec. 2-3. Replacement Fee

 

            A lost or stolen parking permit must be reported immediately to the Department of Public Safety and an affidavit must be
filed. A lost permit will be replaced at a charge of $25.00 or the face value of the permit, or whichever is less. The replacement fee
shall be refunded if the missing permit is found and returned to the Department of Public Safety. 

 

            A permit reported stolen will be replaced free of charge on a one time only basis. In order for a stolen permit to be replaced
free of charge, a police report must be filed for such permit.  Permits reported lost or stolen may not be replaced without the approval
of the Director of the Department of Public Safety or his / her designee.    

 

Sec. 2-4   Returned Checks

 

            Any payment made by a check that is returned by the bank and not cleared upon notification shall necessitate that a hold be
placed with the University Registrar or that the amount be deducted from an employee's paycheck. Returned checks of non-affiliated individuals or companies will be forwarded to a collection agency if not cleared upon notification. A $25.00 service charge shall be
imposed for all returned checks. 

 

Sec. 2-5   Collection Methods

 

            No parking permit may be issued to any individual who has outstanding debts to the Department of Public Safety.  The
Department of Public Safety may reduce or retain any refund from the cancellation of a permit to clear all outstanding balances

collection of fees assessed against faculty, staff, students, and visitors in the following manner:

 

1. Debts owed by employees of the University and UNC Hospitals may be deducted from payroll checks.

 

            2. Debts owed by students necessitates that a "hold" status be placed with the University Registrar.

            from individuals whose debts may not be collected by payroll deduction or by other means.

           

            4. Failure to pay civil penalties or other just debts owed to the Department of Public Safety within ten calendar days of
            the date of the citation(s) or incurrence of the debt will result in a $10.00 late payment fee being assessed on each unpaid
            citation or other transaction.                         

 

            5. Debts owed by individuals not eligible for payroll deduction may be subject to garnishment of North Carolina State
            income tax refund.

 

Sec. 2-6   Civil Suits for Recovery of Penalties

 

            When the Chancellor in his sole judgment determines that civil penalties validly imposed for violation of this Ordinance
cannot or will not be collected through normal administrative procedures, he may request the Attorney General of North Carolina
to bring a civil action against the offender in the name of the State for the recovery of the penalty.

 

 

ARTICLE III. PARKING

 

Sec. 3-1. Method of Parking

 

            The Chancellor shall cause each area in which parking is permitted by this Ordinance to be surveyed and developed for
parking. Each parking space shall be defined by appropriate signs and painted lines (when the parking area is paved). Parking
spaces in unpaved lots will be marked by wheelstops.
  When parking spaces have been marked off in the area in which parking
is lawful, vehicles shall be parked within the spaces so designated at all times.         

 

            1. Some spaces shall be marked for compact vehicles. These spaces shall be fifteen feet in length and five feet in width,
            with two and one-half feet of hatching between spaces. It is unlawful for any vehicle to occupy more than the five-foot
            portion of the space.  Signs shall be posted or on-ground markings shall designate compact spaces.

 

            2. It is unlawful at any time to occupy portions of more than one space when such is defined by painted lines or to park
            in any portion of the area not clearly designated for parking.

 

            3. When spaces are designed at an angle (diagonally) to a street curb or dividing median, vehicles shall be parked therein
            with the front of the vehicle next to the curb or median.  When parking spaces are parallel to a curb or dividing median,
            vehicles shall be parked with the front of the vehicle facing the direction of travel authorized for that side of the street or
            driveway.                               

 

Sec. 3-2. Disabled Vehicles

 

            It is unlawful to leave a disabled vehicle parked in violation of this Ordinance without immediately notifying the Department
of Public Safety. If the vehicle is obstructing traffic, in a reserved space, or creating a hazard, it must be moved immediately. 

 

            No vehicle will be placed on the disabled vehicle list more than one time per month unless the operator will accept assistance
from the Department of Public Safety or a tow firm. Persons who exceed the limitations for placing their vehicle on the disabled list
and do not accept assistance shall be subject to the appropriate penalty if the vehicle remains parked in violation of this Ordinance.
If the Department of Public Safety has permits available for the lot in which the vehicle is parked, the operator may be required to
purchase a permit rather than be placed on the disabled list.

 

Sec. 3-3. Parking Zones

          

            Any person parking a motor vehicle in the parking lots and areas described in this section (3-3) must display the appropriate
permit for that lot or parking area during those days and hours specified at the entrance to such lots or areas. Any vehicle parked
without displaying a valid permit is subject to the issuance of a civil penalty, vehicle immobilization/booting, and/or towing.   

 

            If the assigned zone is full, a temporary permit for an alternate zone may be obtained from the Public Safety Department
located off Manning Drive. UNC Hospitals’ employees may obtain temporary permits from the Hospital Parking Office.

 

            It is unlawful to park a motor vehicle within any zone other than the one authorized by permit, as displayed on the registered
motor vehicle. Vehicles displaying a valid special permit obtained through the UNC Department of Public Safety may park as indicated
by use of those permits and their related restrictions.

             Any main campus permit shall be valid in R Zones.

Meter activation is required Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. unless otherwise posted.

insertion of lawful coins of the United States or by a cash key obtained at the Department of Public Safety.  Cash keys
are sold with a $10 minimum without a maximum upon payment of a $15.00 deposit. One dollar and twenty-five cents

twenty-four consecutive hours, regardless of whether or not the meter is activated.

 

4. Abuse of meters: It is unlawful for any person to damage, tamper with, willfully break, destroy or impair the usefulness

or by a gate attendant. 

 

            It is unlawful for vehicles to enter or park in controlled-access zones during the posted controlled-access hours without
paying the appropriate fee or displaying a valid permit for that
controlled-access zone. Whether or not a gate is open during the
hours of parking is not an indication that an unauthorized vehicle may legally drive through and park in the gated
zone.

 

            It is unlawful for any person to deface, damage, tamper with, willfully break, destroy, impair the usefulness of, evade
without tendering due payment
or open without lawful authority an entry or exit gate or equipment. A $10.00 fee will be charged
for replacing
damaged access mechanisms, in addition to the applicable parking fine.

specified at the entrance of such
zones.  It shall be unlawful to transfer or to use assigned access for vehicles not registered
for that controlled
-access zone and for that card.  If any person uses or allows to be used his or her access device to
knowingly enable another vehicle to enter or exit a controlled-access zone without paying the applicable parking fee or
permit fee, such person, in addition to being responsible for the applicable parking fine, shall have their card-access rights
to University controlled-access zones deactivated for a period of one calendar year.

immobilization fee, storage fees, and all outstanding balances owed the Department of Public Safety are paid in full or a payment
plan established during normal business hours. Wheel boots may only be removed by the Department of Public Safety staff, upon
payment of the $55.00 vehicle immobilization fee.  If the operator of the booted vehicle arrives at the vehicle prior to the parking
control officer leaving the scene, such operator shall still be responsible for the cost of the vehicle immobilization fee.  The owner
or custodian of the vehicle impounded under any regulation of this Ordinance may appeal the immobilization in person or in writing
within ten calendar days to the Chancellor's designated Hearing Officer, pursuant to Sec. 7-1. Submitting an appeal to the Hearing
Officer is not a substitute for payment of the immobilization fee.  

            Vehicles immobilized for longer than twenty-four hours shall be removed to a storage area.  The owner/custodian of the
vehicle shall be responsible for both the immobilization and tow fees and applicable storage fees.
 

Sec. 7-3. Impoundment of Abandoned and Derelict Vehicles

 

            Any vehicle that is partially dismantled or wrecked and/or deemed abandoned under Section 3-7(2) or Section 3-7(3)
and/or does not display a current license plate and left in such condition for more than 10 days shall have a warning tag placed on
it by a parking control officer.  Such tag shall provide notice that if the vehicle is not removed within 5 days from the date reflected
on the tag, it will be considered abandoned and derelict. Such vehicles shall be removed at the end of the 5-day period to the
University storage area at owner's expense and disposed of in accordance with Sec. 7-4 of this Ordinance. 

Sec. 7-4. Disposal of Abandoned and Derelict Vehicles

1. An "abandoned motor vehicle" is one that has been removed to the University's storage area pursuant to authority
granted in this Ordinance and has remained in said storage for longer than five days.  A "derelict vehicle" is a vehicle:

 

a. that has an expired registration and the registered and legal owner no longer resides at the address listed on the
last certificate of registration on record with the North Carolina Department of Transportation;

 

b. that has major parts removed so as to render the vehicle inoperable and incapable of passing inspections as
required under existing standards;

 

                        c. that has the manufacturer's serial plates, vehicle identification numbers, license plate numbers, and any other
                        means of identification removed so as to nullify efforts to locate or identify the registered and legal owner;

 

d. for which the registered and legal owner of record disclaims ownership or releases his/her rights thereto; or

 

e. for which the vehicle is more than twelve years old and does not bear a current license as required by the
Department of Motor Vehicles.

 

2. When any derelict or abandoned motor vehicle is in the University's possession, the University shall dispose of it in
accordance with North Carolina statutes.

 

3. Any proceeds from the sale of a derelict/abandoned motor vehicle, after costs for removal, storage, investigation, sale,
and satisfying any liens of record on the vehicle have been deducted there from, shall be held by the University for thirty
days and paid to the registered owner upon demand.  If the owner does not appear to claim the proceeds within thirty
days after disposal of the vehicle, the funds shall be deposited in the University Department of Public Safety Trust Fund,
and the owner's rights therein shall be forfeited forever.

 

4. No person shall be held to answer in any civil or criminal action to any owner or other person legally entitled to the
possession of any abandoned, lost, or stolen motor vehicle for disposing of the vehicles as provided in this section. 

Sec. 7-5. Bicycle and Skateboard Impoundment Fee 

            It shall be lawful for the Chancellor to impound at the owner/rider's expense, any bicycle that is considered abandoned,
junked, lost/stolen, parked/stored or operated in violation of this Ordinance, or state or local fire safety regulations. It shall be lawful
for the Chancellor to remove security devices attached to vehicles for impoundment purposes.  The University shall not be held liable
for damages made to bicycles or locks while impounding or during storage of the bicycle.

 

            It shall be lawful for the Chancellor to impound at the owner's/rider's expense any skateboard or in-line skates that are
considered abandoned, junked, lost/stolen, or operated in violation of this Ordinance. The University shall not be held liable for
damages done to skateboards or in-line skates while impounded. Owners/riders of impounded skateboards or in-line skates may
claim them in person at the UNC - Chapel Hill Department of Public Safety upon paying the amount specified in Article VI, for the
violation of Section 5-3.  Owners/riders who are under age 18 must bring a parent or guardian with them to claim impounded
skateboards or in-line skates.  The Department of Public Safety staff, upon payment of the $10.00 bicycle/skateboard
impoundment fee, may release impounded bicycles and skateboards.

 

            Bicycles that remain stored on racks for more than thirty days at the end of any academic term, including summer sessions,
will be deemed University property.
 

Sec. 7-6. Disposal of Junked Bicycles and Impounded Skateboards 

            Letters shall be sent notifying bicycle owners with registered permits when vehicles have been impounded; when owner is
unknown, notice shall be posted at the Department of Public Safety. Bicycles unclaimed thirty calendar days after the original date
of impoundment shall be deemed University property. 

 

            When the owner/rider of a skateboard or in-line skates is known, he or she shall be given or sent a letter notifying him or
her that the skateboard or in-line skates have been impounded and informing the owner/rider how to claim the impounded skateboard
or in-line skates.  Where the owner/rider of an impounded skateboard or in-line skates is under age 18, a copy of the letter shall be
sent to his or her parent or guardian, if known.  When the owner/rider is unknown, notice shall be posted at the Department of Public
Safety.  Skateboards or in-line skates unclaimed within sixty days after the original date of impoundment shall be deemed University
property.

 

 ARTICLE VIII. APPEALS

 

Sec. 8-1. Appeals

 

            Any person cited for violation of any portion of this Ordinance for which a civil penalty is imposed or a vehicle is impounded
or immobilized for violations may appeal in person, or in writing, or by email within ten calendar days of issuance to the Chancellor's
designated Hearing Officer.

 

            Failure to meet the ten-day appeal period requirement shall result in a forfeiture of all appeal privileges. The Hearing Officer
shall review all written appeals and establish limited hours to review those in-person appeals that meet the ten-day requirement.

 

            Written appeals must be submitted on a standard appeal form, available from the Department of Public Safety.

 

            If the Hearing Officer decides the appeal against the appellant, he or she may appeal to the Chancellor, in writing, within
ten calendar days of the date of the Hearing Officer's decision.

 

            The Chancellor may delegate to a committee or other body as he may establish authority to hear appeals on his behalf.
Disposition of an appeal by a vote of the full committee to affirm without a panel hearing or by a vote of the majority of a panel in
the case of an appeal having been referred to a panel for hearing shall be deemed to exhaust the available appellate procedures.
Final disposition by the committee shall be understood to mean a ruling in which the committee or its panel affirms, modifies, or
reverses a decision of the Hearing Officer. Any person cited to the District Court Division of the General Court of Justice for
violation of this Ordinance constituting a misdemeanor must pursue his plea and appeal, if any, as provided by law for criminal
actions generally.

            Submitting an appeal to the Chancellor's designated Hearing Officer does not substitute for payment of the towing and
storage fees for removal of the impounded vehicle. Such fees must be paid in accordance with Section 7-1. If the hearing officer
decides the appeal in favor of the appellant, the Department of Public Safety will refund the costs of towing and storage.

            In the event that the owner or operator elects to leave the vehicle impounded while filing an appeal, the storage fees will
be waived from the day the appeal is submitted to the Hearing Officer until the day the decision is rendered.
