What if the parking citation is not dismissed? Do I have any other recourse?

Yes, If your Administrative Investigation is denied you may appeal. You have 21 days from the date the denial notification was mailed to file a written request with an explanation for this review. No official form is provided for this request. Mail your second  appeal with the full amount of the citation to Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Department, Attn: Parking, 110 E. Main St., Los Gatos, CA 95030 or deliver in person to 110 E. Main Street, Los Gatos. The full amount of the citation will be refunded if your citation is dismissed, the amount is forfeited if the citation is deemed valid. If your second appeal is denied, an appeal may be filed in the Santa Clara County Civil Court within 21 days from date of denial of the second appeal. This court will review the factual aspects of the case, the administrative process, and the decision of the Hearing Examiner. The decision of the Civil Court may be communicated in person or by mail.
