No alarm user shall maintain, use or allow the use of an alarm system that signals repeated false alarms. To defer the cost of responding to false alarms, the alarm users will pay to the city a fee established by resolution of the City Commission for each occasion that the alarm system is activated and responded to by the Public Safety Department which is a false alarm. The fee shall increase for each subsequent call in a calendar year. The city shall bill the alarm user fee. If the alarm user fails to pay the fee within 30 days after billing, the unpaid fee shall be added to and made a part of the next city tax bill against the subject premises and collected in the same manner as provided by law for the collection of city taxes on real estate as a single lot assessment pursuant to § 1.306 of the code.
