In order to properly notify the alarm user of his status relative to the number of false alarms received by the alarm coordinator's office, the following notification schedule will be created:
(1) First false alarm. No action; written record of alarm shall be maintained in the alarm coordinator's office.
(2) Second false alarm. Upon receipt of the second false alarm, the alarm coordinator or his designee shall notify in writing the particular alarm user that there has been a second false alarm received by the alarm coordinator's office relative to the specific alarm user. In addition, the written notification shall contain a warning statement that, upon the receipt of a third false alarm actuated from the premises, the alarm system may be disconnected.
(3) Third false alarm. Upon receipt of a third false alarm, the alarm coordinator or his designee shall notify the alarm user of the receipt of a third false alarm by personal service of the notice upon the individual or corporate officer responsible for the alarm system. The notice shall contain the warning that unless the alarm user requests a hearing before the municipal court within three working days the alarm system shall be disconnected from the police and fire dispatcher's office and shall remain disconnected until the $150.00 false alarm fee is paid.
(4) Hearing. In the event an alarm user requests a hearing, the municipal court shall set the case for its next regular docket to determine whether there has been a violation of this chapter.
