2011‐2012 San Bernardino County Grand Jury Final Report CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO CITATION APPEAL PROCESS BACKGROUND A complaint was received by the Grand Jury from an individual who received a parking citation from the City of San Bernardino that was disputed. The individual appealed the parking citation. The first two levels of appeal upheld the citation. On the third level of the appeal process, the Superior Court dismissed the citation. The Grand Jury reviewed the contract between the private company and the City of San Bernardino (City). They met with the City Attorney and with members of the Police Department who were responsible for the parking citation appeals. Also, members were furnished copies of the Hearing Officer Manual – California Public Parking Association, 2008, used to assist in hearing and disposition of all contested cases involving violations of the California Vehicle Code. Members noted City parking citations state, on the reverse side, an appeal can be requested by writing to the City of San Bernardino, c/o a parking citation service center in Orange County. The City contracts with a company to handle the administrative actions associated with documenting the issue of citations, dispositions, scheduling appeal hearings, and collecting fees. The citation also states information can be obtained by calling a toll-free number. The company does not participate in any of the appeal reviews, except to collect documents from the complainant and forward them to the City. The company does not have input into the upholding or dismissal of parking citations. The City’s website states what actions are required and how the parking citation appeal process works, for the three levels of appeals: The first level of the appeal process is an Administrative Review conducted by a member of the City of San Bernardino Police Department. If the first level of appeal does not result in the disposition the appellant desires, they may go to the second level of appeal. The second level of the appeal process is an Administrative Hearing conducted by a Hearing Officer that is not an employee of the City Police Department. If the second level of appeal does not result in the disposition the appellant desires, they may go to the third level of appeal. 2
