15-1   ALARMS.
15-1.01   Definitions.
   As used in this Subchapter are as follows:
   “ALARM PROTECTIVE SERVICE” shall mean any service providing or causing the installation, servicing, repair, maintenance, sale, replacement or response to an alarm system.
   “ALARM PERMIT” shall mean a certificate of authorization issued by the City of Bowling Green for the operation of an alarm system at an alarm site.
   “ALARM SITE” shall mean any single residential, business or industrial location served by an alarm system or systems.
   “ALARM SYSTEM” shall mean any assembly of equipment, device or devices arranged to signal the presence of a hazard requiring the urgent response of law enforcement and/or fire personnel, and shall include all burglary, robbery and fire alarms. This term shall not include (a) an alarm system installed on a motor vehicle or other alarm systems not directly related to the detection of an unauthorized intrusion into a premise, an attempted robbery of a premise, or a fire emergency at a premise, or (b) a smoke or heat detector not designed or intended to alert a response outside the premise.
   “ALARM SYSTEM USER” shall mean the owner, agent or person in control of the property for which an alarm system is maintained.
   “FALSE ALARM” shall mean any activation of an alarm system through mechanical or electronic failure, malfunction, improper installation, negligence of the owner, agent or person in control of the property or any other such activation which is not a result of an emergency or threat of emergency for which the alarm system was designed to give notice. A false alarm does not include activation of an alarm system which is caused by a natural or man-made catastrophe, severe weather that causes physical damage to the premises, vandalism, telephone line outage or other reasons which could not have reasonably been prevented by the permit holder. For purposes of this Subchapter, a false alarm shall otherwise be deemed to have reasonably been prevented had the permit holder implemented reasonable modifications to the alarm system recommended in writing by City personnel.
   “PERMIT HOLDER” shall mean any alarm system user to whom an alarm permit is issued.
15-1.02   Duties of Alarm Protective Service Providers.
   a.   Any and all persons, firms, corporations or other business entities providing alarm protective services shall, before installing, servicing, repairing, maintaining or replacing an alarm system at an alarm site within the City limits of Bowling Green, notify and inform the alarm system user for whom such services are to be performed that said alarm system user must obtain an alarm permit from the City of Bowling Green and produce same to the alarm protective service provider prior to the performance of said services.
   b.   No person shall install, service, repair, maintain or replace an alarm system at an alarm site without the alarm system user having first obtained a valid alarm permit in accordance with the provisions of this Subchapter.
