Dear Provo City Council,

We the undersigned, being residents of Provo City, respectfully ask that the current booting ordinance be replaced with a simple, city-run ticketing system.

This would be a fair solution for all parties:

• For Provo City this would function as an additional revenue stream.
• For property owners virtually nothing would change: Parking rules would be enforced just as before, and with no additional effort on their part.
• For students this system would make a world of difference: It would protect their constitutional right to due-process instead of holding them guilty until proven innocent as occurs with the current ordinance

This is a win-win situation.

Under this system:

• Provo City would function as a monopoly parking enforcement company with whom property owners contract.
• The enforcement mechanism would be $20 a ticket.
• Tickets would increase in price if left unpaid.
• A standard appeals process would be provided

Implementing this system would require little additional overhead on Provo City's part because most of the infrastructure is already in place in the form of Provo's street-side parking enforcement system. This system is both efficient and fair. It even provides an online appeals process. Expanding it to include private property parking enforcement would require only a slight modification to the existing infrastructure.

Again, this is a win-win situation for all parties involved:

It will provide an additional revenue stream for Provo City while protecting the rights of both property owners and students. Additionally, this system will require minimal effort to implement.

We respectfully submit our names with appreciation for your due consideration on this matter.

Sincerely,

(Please see those who have signed this petition)
