A false alarm generated by any alarm system shall be considered an excessive false alarm when that system generates a third false alarm within a three (3) month period. The alarm user and alarm company shall be notified in writing of each false alarm and shall be jointly and severally liable to pay a false alarm penalty for each and every alarm received after the first two (2) false alarms during any three (3) month period. Said penalty shall be in the amount of all costs incurred by Latah County in receiving and responding to each false alarm and shall include, without limitation, salary and/or wages for County employees; actual mileage at such mileage rate as, from time to time, may be established by the Board of County Commissioners; and any other expenses, costs or damages actually incurred as a result of said false alarm. Additionally, the Board of County Commissioners may, from time to time, set such further penalty assessments as it deems appropriate through the resolution process. (Ord. 204, 6-1-1999, eff. 6-5-1999)
