WAC 132H-116-630   Appeals of fines and penalties.   ((Any fines and penalties levied against a violator of the rules and regulations in this chapter may be appealed pursuant to the provisions of chapter 132H-120 WAC. Appeals must be made in writing within 20 calendar days from the date of the citation.))

     (1) Right to appeal. Anyone who has received a citation for an alleged violation of these parking and traffic rules has the right to appeal. Appeals must be made in writing and must be submitted to administrative services within 20 calendar days after the date of the citation. Appeal forms are available from the public safety, cashiering and administrative services offices.

     If the alleged violator has paid the fine(s) associated with the parking and traffic citation, he/she has forfeited the right to appeal the citation.

     (2) Citation review committee. Appeals shall be considered by the BCC citation review committee, which is made up of two students (one the ASBCC chief justice), a faculty representative and a classified staff representative. The citation review committee shall hold hearings regularly throughout the academic year. The committee shall consider each appeal on its merits based upon these parking and traffic regulations. Appellants shall be notified on the hearing dates so that they may state their cases and present any additional evidence in person. The committee shall decide the cases of appellants who do not attend the hearing in person based on the statements given on the appeal form, with no penalty for non-appearance. Appellants who do not attend the hearing shall be sent written notification of the committee's decision.

     The citation review committee may uphold, reduce, or waive the fine(s) associated with the parking and traffic citation. Any fine(s) still levied against the appellant must be paid within 15 calendar days after the date of the hearing unless the appellant wishes to pursue a second-level appeal. Non-payment after 15 calendar days may result in any of the college actions listed under WAC 132H-116-620.

     (3) Second level appeal. An appellant who is not satisfied with the decision of the citation review committee has the right to a second-level appeal before the institutional hearing officer appointed by the president of Bellevue Community College. The appellant must contact the institutional hearing officer within 15 calendar days after the citation review committee hearing to request a second-level appeal. The institutional hearing officer shall notify the appellant of his/her decision in writing. The institutional hearing officer's decision is final.

     Any appellant who has paid the fine(s) confirmed or set by the citation review committee has forfeited the right to a second-level appeal.
