ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS
  If you wish to contest the results of the initial citation review, you have 21 days from the date of the response to request an Administrative Hearing. A request for an Administrative Hearing can be made in writing, in person, or by phone. The person requesting a hearing shall have the choice of a hearing by mail or in person (C.V.C. 40215(c)). In addition, the "full" amount of the parking penalty due must accompany the written request. Requests that do not meet the required deadline or include the full payment of the parking penalty will not be eligible for further review, and the decision of the issuing officer will stand. The citation will be processed pursuant to California Vehicle Code Section 40220(a). For more details, see Section 17 of Rules and Regulations.
