Another reason, he said, was those people Who have not registeredtheir cars and are being ticketed for the meter and failure to register violations. Key said anyone that is ticketed for failure to register his vehicle will be reimbursed the $10 fine when their car is registered. "We're in the process of locati,ng people to return their fines that have since bought parking decals," he said. Director Key said hoped for a 2,000 car parking garage in the near future to be built where the car pool lot at the corner of Pickens and Pendleton streets is now. Athletic Ft has been on the board for 27 years defended the board's action saying that lobbyists can be useful in providing information to legislators who may not have all the facts. Mungo countered that he was not opposed to using legislative liasons providing information at the state and federal levels, but that he did object to the hiring of an outside firm to do what he thought was the work of the trustees. "You don't get on this board for being a nice fellow, you've got to know someone in the General Assembly. The General Assembly resented that we used money in a lobbying ef fort." Mungo then moved that the trustees in the future "not employ outside firms as agents in stating our views on legislative matters." JAMES W.
