Fees for false alarms and the actions available to the Town to reduce false alarms shall be as follows:
Number of False Alarms During Any Calendar Month | Fee/Action |
One | --- |
Two through five | $20.00 per occurrence. |
Six through ten | $100 per occurrence; the Mayor may require the subscriber to provide certification from the vendor or installer of the subscriber's equipment that the equipment is in good working order and/or certification that the subscriber has taken the necessary action to prevent recurrence if the false alarms were caused by human error. |
Eleven or more | $200 per occurrence; the Mayor may require disconnection of the subscriber's equipment from the system and may permit the reconnection of the equipment only upon presentation of satisfactory proof that the subscriber has taken the necessary corrective action to prevent an excessive number of false alarms from occurring in the future. |
The Mayor may waive the false alarm fees in individual cases, but only in those cases in which the enforcement of the fee is shown to be clearly inappropriate.
