(2) If the excessive false alarm condition is not corrected after the issuance of a written warning, the Sheriff may, at his or her discretion, order the alarm disconnected within 30 days.
(B) Circumstances that may result in termination include:
(1) Removal of alarm or discontinuance of alarm service;
(2) Failure of subscriber to pay outstanding fines owed to the county for false alarms accrued during the 12-month period; and
(3) Failure of subscriber to appear in court after being lawfully summoned.
