10 year old community college parking tickets.. do i have to pay?

I just got a letter from a college i attended 10 years ago saying i owe $80 in 2 ';parking tickets'; (not NY state recognized) from sept of 1996, and if i do not pay they will send me to collections. Is that legal? Isn't there some sort of statute of limitations on collecting bills like that. I don't remember if I paid them or not...it was so long ago.

Can something that old affect my credit?
