If any alarm system produces three false alarms in any twelve consecutive months, written notice of that fact shall be given by certified mail or delivery to the subscriber, or other appropriate party (available twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week) listed in the notification for that alarm system. Thereafter, the Public Safety Director shall have the power to require the subscriber to comply with any one or a combination of the requirements set forth below as would minimize, in his judgment, such false alarms in the future:
(a) The subscriber may be charged for the direct and indirect costs to the City of time, labor, equipment and other services rendered in responding to each subsequent alarm, or may be charged twenty-five dollars ($25.00) per false alarm, whichever is higher. Such charges shall continue for each excessive false alarm, until three consecutive months have elapsed during which no false alarms have been registered, and must be paid within thirty days after notice of excessive false alarms.
(b) The subscriber may be required to cause the alarm system to comply immediately with the applicable standards referred to in Section 937.05 (those standards otherwise being imposed only on alarm systems installed after enactment of this chapter).
