Parking Meters and Citations

I respectfully request a dismissal of citation #26204900517. I paid for 1 hour and 10 minutes of parking at 11:48 AM. My paid time was valid until 12:58 PM. However, the citation was issued at 11:56 AM, only eight minutes after I arrived and well before my paid time expired. This clearly indicates that the meter did not register the coins correctly. I kindly request verification of the meter’s transaction records for space 609B, as well as any available camera footage for that area, which will confirm that I paid for my parking time. I also have a disability parking placard. Although Bloomington requires payment at metered spaces, I always pay to comply with the rules. In this case, I paid correctly and still received a citation while my paid time was active. For these reasons, I respectfully request that this citation be reviewed and Thank you for your attention.
