(a) Upon the favorable recommendation of the Police Chief and the approval of the Village Manager, alarms from business premises, financial institutions and residences may be terminated in the Police Department.
(b) The Police Chief shall have the authority to request bids from licensed alarm companies (in accordance with the normal practice in the community) to furnish (when possible at no cost to the Village) a standard annunciator panel which is compatible to the receipt of alarm signals from subscribers whose lines terminate at the Police Department on the effective date of this Article for the purpose of annunciating all alarms in the communication center of the Police Department. The bids shall also state the annual service fee each alarm subscriber shall be required to pay the private alarm company for services rendered with respect to such annunciator panels by subscribers, and fee and charges related to the installation and maintenance of such panels. Any subscriber or alarm user who obtains authority from the Police Chief and Village Manager to terminate its alarm system in the Police Department may contract with any licensed alarm business of its choice for the sale, installation, maintenance, and/or servicing of the alarm system to be installed on its premises.
(c) The alarm subscriber approved for a direct connection to the Police Department or the
alarm businesses contracting for servicing the subscriber's alarm system, shall be responsible for obtaining the leased telephone line between the subscriber's premises and the alarm receiving the equipment, if required, in order to provide an input signal which is compatible with the receiving equipment used to operate the standard annunciator panel.
(d) No alarm subscriber shall utilize a single pair of wires to transmit a burglar or holdup
alarm signal and a fire or other emergency signal. All signals transmitted over such wires shall cause only one signal to be transmitted to the Police Department upon a single stimulus of the alarm device, and no pulsating or intermittent signal shall be allowed.
(e) The provisions of this Article contained in Sections 7-77.10 and 7-77.14 concerning alarm user permits and false alarms shall apply to all subscribers or persons having direct connect systems except Municipal, County and State agencies exempted by the Village Board. (Ord. 0-84-04, 2-7-84)
