A staff team from <br />Information Services, Municipal Court, and Finance worked together to develop a prototype system for <br />on-line payments that will soon be adapted for several other applications, such as paying for recreation <br />fees. The new system uses a third-party secure payment engine to process credit card payments, <br />transmit the information through a "black box," and post payments to the City's ticket tracking software. <br />The system went live the afternoon of April 4 and, by the following morning more than 10 payments were <br />logged despite the fact it had not yet been publicized. Public response has been overwhelmingly <br />positive. <br /> <br />Parking Administration and Enforcement in the Planning and Development Department developed <br />informational inserts about this new option to go in parking ticket envelopes. Municipal Court updated <br />information on its after-hours telephone message and its website, and there will be a link from the City's <br />home page. To pay parking tickets on-line, go to: www.ci.eugene.or, us/parkingticketpay. Users must <br />have both their vehicle license plate and ticket number to access the system. If the ticket or ticket <br />number is not available or information about outstanding tickets is desired, the system may be queried <br />at: www.ci.eugene.or, us/cs/prkticket. For further assistance, the Parking Violations Unit can be reached <br />during court business hours at 682-5294. <br /> <br />Other choices for handling a parking violation remain. The ticket may be contested by appearing in <br />person at Parking Court any Thursday morning at 8:30 a.m., or by writing a letter of explanation asking <br />for a reduction of the bail amount or dismissal, which will be reviewed by a judge only if it accompanies <br />full payment. Payment can also be made by mail, by coming to the Municipal Court's Parking Counter <br />(Room 102 at City Hall), or by using a credit card over the telephone. For additional information contact <br />Char Mauch at 682-5088. <br /> <br />Art Careers Show and Sale <br />Hilyard Community Center, located on 2580 Hilyard Street, will showcase the work of community artists <br />who experience disabilities.
