1. When any emergency message is received
by the Police or Fire Department that evidences a
failure to comply with the requirements of this chapter
or a permit issued hereunder, the Police Department is
authorized to demand that the owner of lessee of the
alarm system initiating such messages, or his/her
representative, disconnect the alarm system until it is
made to comply with the said requirements. The Police
Department may demand that the owner of lessee submit a
written report describing the actions taken or to be
taken in order to comply with the above requirements.
This report shall be submitted within fifteen (15) days
of the date of demand by the department.
I
If, however, the alarm user, by reason of absence
from the City or on any other reasonable basis requests
an extension of time to file the report, the Police
Department may extend the fifteen (15) day period for a
reasonable period;
2. The owner or lessee of any alarm system
shall be assessed a fee for any false alarms based upon
the following schedule:
A. The first two (2) false alarms in a
twelve (12) month period shall be considered accidental
and no penalty fees charged. The owner or lessee of
the alarm system shall be notified in writing by the
Police Department after the occurrence of the second
false alarm, notifying him/her that any further false
alarms may result in'pe~alty assessments.
B. The owner or lessee of the alarm
system shall be assessed the following penalty fees for
any false alarms above the initial two (2) false alarms
in a twelve (12) month period:
I
(1) Third (3rd) false alarm -
twenty-five dollars ($25.00).

fifty dollars ($50.00).

twelve (12) month periOd from any alarm system, it
shall notify the alarm user in writing by first class
mail, of such fact and require that the alarm user
submit a report to the Police Department within fifteen
(15) days after receipt of such notice, describing
efforts to discover and eliminate the causes of the
false alarms. If, however, the alarm user by reason of

requests an extension of time to file the report, the
Police Department may extend the fifteen (15) day
period for a reasonable period. If the alarm user
fails to submit such a report within fifteen (15) days
or within any such extended period, or if the efforts
taken to discover and eliminate defects are deemed
insufficient, the Police Department may place the alarm
system on "no emergency response status." Under such
circumstances, the Police Department shall notify the
alarm user and the alarm business in writing by first
class mail, and the City Administrator of such action.
Commencing ten (10) days after such action, the alarm
system shall be disconnected, and if not disconnected,
the Police Department will not respond to the
activation of the alarm system. This shall continue
until corrective measures have been taken and certified
by the Police Department or its authorized
representative."

of this Ordinance and shall cause the same to be published as
required'by law and the same shall take effect as provided by
