A Bill in Support of Less Parking Tickets

Authored and Sponsored by Sen. Sajid A. Khan

Whereas: The city of Berkeley, particularly in areas close to the UC Campus, is a very difficult place to find parking, particularly parking that is affordable for students, and

Whereas: Sajid A. Khan owns a 2000 Nissan Altima that he uses and operates in the City of Berkeley, resulting in hundreds of dollars worth of parking tickets, issued both by the city of Berkeley as well as UC Berkeley authorities, and

Whereas: Sajid Khan’s car is used by many in the Cal Community, providing great service to many students, including a number of ASUC officials, with rides being provided to and from late Senate and Committee meetings, and

Whereas: The car is also known as the biggest “slut” of Berkeley, rides being given "easily" to everyone and anyone, primarily Berkeley students, for purposes of grocery shopping, rides to airports, to make it on time to classes, further enriching the educational experience of our students, and

Whereas: Sajid has been late to Committee meetings due to the difficult nature of parking around the Berkeley campus, resulting in less than desirable productivity, and

Whereas: Sajid promises to provide rides to all those who need them, provided the request is reasonable and presented politely;

Resolved: The office of the ASUC Executive Vice President arrange to provide Sen. Sajid Khan a parking permit for his Nissan Altima to park in the lot below Eshleman Hall, for the remainder of the year, free of charge so he can better serve students through the means of his automobile.
