(a) A charge of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) shall be assessed for each false alarm received through any emergency alarm service which the Village has given permission to be installed. Such fee shall be assessed against the owner or operator of the business for the alarm with which the false alarm is associated.
(b) Notwithstanding the fee to be assessed, as set forth above, no charge shall be made for the first false alarm, nor shall there be any charge for a false alarm to which there is no response by the Police or Fire Department. A charge will also not be assessed when the cause has been proven to be an act of God or when it has been established to the satisfaction of the Police Chief that the owner or operator of the business could not have prevented it with the exercise of ordinary care.
(c) Any charge for a false alarm, as provided for in subsection (a) hereof, which remains unpaid for thirty days after the date of invoice, shall result in the cancellation of the permit.
