Dear City of St. Paul,
I'm writing this letter on behalf of my son, Micah Tanning, a freshman at Macalester College in St. Paul.
On December 8'h, 2013, he discovered that his car was missing from a street near his dormitory. As
young students, barely out of high school, neither he nor his friends at Macalester were aware of the
snow emergency nor the rules surrounding it, so this came as a quite a shock. It was the beginning of
finals week at Macalester, and he was in a panic. Eventually he would learn that his car had been towed
three days earlier. �
One of his friends called the St. Paul Police department, who told him that the car had been towed to the
Impound Lot at 830 Barge Channel Rd. Because Micah needed to complete a course requirement in '
Calambia He;ghts that even;rg, ! dreve to Macale�ter t� bring him to Columu�a Heights. The raads were
vzry slippery and dangerous, so I asked my husband to drive Micah to the St. Paul impound lot. Because
Barge Channel Road is all the way across town from here, they called the impound lot first to make sure
his car was there, and were told that indeed his car was there at 830 Barge Channel Rd.
It took 40 minutes to get to the impound lot, only to be told that his car was NOT there at all. In fact, it had
been towed to the Snow Lot by the State Fairgrounds, which is only 3 miles from Macalester College!!
Why did your people send him all the way across town, without even mentioning the snow lot only three
miles away--adding insult to injury in an already terrible situation?
Misinformation supplied by both the St. Paul Police Department and the St. Paul Impound lot meant that
my family was unnecessarily out on snow and ice-covered roads in zero degree temperature for nearly '
two hours instead of the half hour it should have taken. This was time that our son should have been in
his dorm room finishing papers and studying for upcoming final exams.
� Based on this experience, this is what I am requesting: �
1)That the St. Paul Police Department work with local college campuses to ensure that students
are being informed of Snow Emergencies and what that entails. For many students, this is a new
experience, and it seems a bit predatory to target the young and uninformed without due process.
2)That personnel answering phones at the Police Department and the Impound Lot be trained to ,
inform callers of the Snow Lot by the State Fairgrounds as an optional towing place so that
people don't drive unnecessarily across town in bad weather on bad roads to avoid additional
storage charges.
3) My son paid $320.50 for all the charges associated with this incident(see attached). I request ,
that all of this be refunded except the$124 towing charge plus tax. The city should not be
rewarded for misleading the public and putting students at unnecessary risk on bad roads. At the
same time, the city should not be stuck with the towing charge, and it is fair for my son to have to
pay something for his mistake. Therefore,we request a refund of$187.00 to Micah Tanning.
I believe these are all very reasonable requests. Thank you for your consideration.We look forward to
your reply.
