Section 504-15-870 - Wheel lock-eligible list

(1) The parking administrator is responsible for creating and maintaining the wheel lock-eligible list. See definition of "wheel lock-eligible vehicle under WAC 504-15-100(50)."

(2) A wheel lock-eligible vehicle is placed on the wheel lock-eligible list after notice has been issued as provided in subsection (3) of this section and an appeal of the wheel lock eligibility determination, if requested, under subsection (4) of this section.

(3) At least 10 days prior to placing a vehicle on the wheel lock-eligible list, the parking administrator must mail a notice to the owner. The parking administrator mails the notice to the address stated on the most current registration records available to the university from a state, or any more current address of which the parking administrator or chief of police has actual written notice.

Although the parking administrator does not have the authority to adjudicate the merits of any parking ticket, she or he must, however, receive evidence and other input from the owner appealing the wheel lock eligibility determination that the notice given under subsection (3) of this section was erroneous or based on erroneous information.

(6) After the specified date provided in the notice issued under subsection (3) of this section, the parking administrator must review the records to ensure that the alleged unpaid parking tickets have not been paid or otherwise resolved, and that no information has been received indicating that the notice was erroneous.

(7) Once a vehicle has been placed on the wheel lock-eligible list, it must not be removed from the list unless and until:

(8) If a vehicle is not properly registered in any state or no registration information is available to the university and the vehicle is wheel lock eligible, then notice must be provided by posting on the vehicle a conspicuous notice or mailed to the confirmed local operator. The notice must set forth:

(9) An officer must attempt to wheel lock any vehicle which appears on the wheel lock-eligible list when parked, lawfully or unlawfully, on campus.

(10) The parking administrator or the chief of police must ensure that officers are on duty to remove wheel locks from vehicles Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
