Any residential or commercial alarm user who accumulates two (2) or more false alarm dispatches at one (1) alarm site within their certificate year shall have their first response certificate for that alarm site cancelled.
B. No cancellation under the provisions of this section shall be effective until the alarm certificate administrator shall mail, by first class U.S. mail, a notice of cancellation to the residential or commercial alarm user. The notice of cancellation shall inform the residential or commercial alarm user of the right to appeal the validity of the cancellation. The notice of cancellation shall inform the residential or commercial alarm user that his or her certificate shall be cancelled effective ten (10) days from the date of determination by the alarm certificate administrator unless an appeal has been made pursuant to subsection D of this section.
C. Upon cancellation, any residential or commercial alarm user may submit an application to the Chief of Police for a new First Response Alarm certificate in accordance with Section 1904 of this title.

Determinations of the alarm certificate administrator shall be final; provided, any right of appeal shall not be abrogated. Any appeal to the City Manager may be initiated by filing a petition with the City Clerk within ten (10) days from the date of determination by the alarm certificate administrator. An appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from. (Ord. 2023-437-C, 5-8-2023)
