<p>Dear Jean,<br>
<br>
Thank you for the note. The JHNA RPP program has been in place for several years now, there are many people new to the neighborhood who have not been exposed to some execution details, many others who have forgotten or never been exposed to particular elements. This is a great opportunity to describe a few details of how the RPP program works.<br>
<br>
The primary enforcement mechanism for the RPP program is a small city patrol team that works standard business hours, 8:00-5:00 Monday through Friday. Despite the fact that most of our streets have one side marked for 7 x 24 RPP, in reality during "off hours" ticketing will occur only if there is a complaint called into 311, or a patrol call going through the neighborhood feels compelled to ticket - the later of which I have been notified of only once. This provides maximum protection at a minimum level of inconvenience.<br>
<br>
After reviewing my files, it appeared that day passes were issued only once and in small quantity for a holiday party in the last few years. 10 stickers which I happened to have on hand. The primary usage of the limited number of day passes issued has been for construction projects, to protect day time workers who parked cars in RPP designated areas. Note that service vehicles should not be ticketed if parked in RPP designated areas. Note that cars parked in "no parking 7 a.m. to 7 p.m" areas are subject to ticketing in all circumstances (often confused with RPP related citations). <br>
<br>
The City of Austin has been asking RPP participants to notify neighbors of upcoming events to avoid surprises and uninformed calls to 311, instead of issuing large blocks of day passes for special events. I believe Art Williams and Mike Valigera have successfully used notifications to the JHNA maillist to avoid problems. Day passes represent a cost to the city, the usage of day passes are also an inconvenience when unnecessary and make the program appear less user friendly than necessary. Note that loud parties which run late into the night are more likely than others to result in 311 calls - clearly that is not the case in what you described<br>
<br>
In the email below to Gordon Derr I tried to make clear that, after reviewing the history, mailing 100 day passes was not the likely outcome, for events held outside of patrol hours where neighborhood notification had already taken place.
<p><font size="1" face="Tahoma">If we are continuing the tradition of not issuing day passes for parties, please advise how we can ensure Mrs. Graves that the police will not be ticketing. Through the note below she has informed several neighbors, and the event is outside RPP patrol hours, but she is concerned that a neighbor has complained in the past, calling the police to ticket, and may do so again.<br>
</font><br>
The judgeshill maillist does not include everyone in the neighborhood, so without directly saying so, I was asking that an additional step be taken by Gordon to notify authorities not to ticket during the designated dates and times. If the City policy in December 2005 is different than what I described above Gordon Derr would have had time to reach out to you to make passes available.<br>
<br>
I do regret not notifying you earlier of my findings and expected way of taking care of it, and for not being there to personally ensure no problems occur Saturday - I am out of the country on business, returning late Tuesday. If there are any problems from the 12/11 party, there will be time to work with the City to resolve them, and take a different approach to avoid any inconvenience for the 12/16 and 12/24 parties.<br>
<br>
I would ask that all neighbors be on the lookout for patrol officers during the dates and times you referenced to help avoid an accidental citation.<br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>
<br>

<font size="4">Dear Phil, </font>
<p><font size="4">I personally went over to your house in November (11/19) far in advance of the first event(12/11) to request parking permits for holiday parties. You assured me that you would take of this the next day and obtain these for me. Now I receive a copy of an email on Wednesday, December 6 at approximately 6 pm in the evening with ONLY THREE working days in advance of the event with a request to send the 100 permits </font><u><font size="4">in the mail</font></u><font size="4">. </font>
<p><font size="4">Also, you that said that I had informed "several neighbors," when in fact I had sent an email to the entire list serv of the neighborhood association.</font>
<p><font size="4">Is this is an example of how the system of residental parking works?</font>

Per voicemail, Mrs. Graves is having three Holiday parties in December, starting with 12/11, and has requested 100 day passes for her guests. If you will be able to provide please have them mailed to her at<br>
<br>
Jean Graves<br>
900 W 17th Street<br>

<br>
If we are continuing the tradition of not issuing day passes for parties, please advise how we can ensure Mrs. Graves that the police will not be ticketing. Through the note below she has informed several neighbors, and the event is outside RPP patrol hours, but she is concerned that a neighbor has complained in the past, calling the police to ticket, and may do so again.<br>
