a. It is unlawful for an alarm user to operate, or cause to be operated, an alarm system at its alarm site without a valid alarm permit issued by the alarm coordinator. An alarm permit entitles the holder to operate all alarm systems at an alarm site, provided such operation complies with all applicable law.
b. The alarm user must submit an alarm permit application and alarm permit fee to the alarm coordinator within five days after a takeover or the installation of an alarm system and obtain a valid alarm permit prior to the operation of the alarm system. The alarm user must obtain a separate alarm permit for each alarm site.
c. The alarm coordinator shall promulgate an alarm permit application. The alarm permit application may require any information reasonably necessary for the alarm coordinator to determine whether the alarm system and alarm user comply with the provisions of this article and all information reasonably necessary for the alarm coordinator to perform the duties assigned to the alarm coordinator by this article. Persons making and application for an alarm permit must provide all of the information as required by the alarm permit application. The alarm coordinator shall deny or postpone the issuance or renewal of an alarm permit until all required information is provided.
d. The nonrefundable alarm permit fee will be set by resolution of the City Council and shall be paid only upon initially obtaining an alarm permit or when there is a takeover of an existing alarm system. Individuals 65 years of age or older obtaining an alarm permit for an alarm system operated at the individual's primary residence are exempt from this fee.
e. An alarm permit cannot be transferred to another person or alarm site. Persons performing a takeover of an alarm system at an alarm site must submit a new application and alarm permit fee and obtain a valid alarm permit prior to operating the alarm system. An alarm permit fee is not required if an alarm user submits the required alarm permit application to the alarm coordinator with five days after the takeover and prior to operating the alarm system.
f. An alarm user shall inform the alarm coordinator of any change that alters any information provided on the alarm user's alarm permit application within five business days after the occurrence of the change.
