(A) As a condition of any alarm system registration or usage under the provisions of this chapter, the registrant shall pay to the village, on issuance of a citation for any false alarm generated by the alarm user's alarm system. The fee shall be in accordance with § 91.99.
(B) There shall be no penalty assessed for a false alarm when, upon investigation by the Chief of Department, it is determined that the false alarm was caused by an uncontrollable extraordinary circumstance to include an act of God.
(C) An alarm user may appeal to the Chief of Department, or his or her designee, for reconsideration of a designated false alarm if that alarm user presents written documentation to the Chief of Department, or his or her designee, that he or she had undertaken reasonable action to discover and eliminate the cause or causes of any false alarm. The appeal must be made within seven days after the receipt of the citation. If however, the alarm user, by reason of absence from the municipality or any other reasonable basis requests an extension of time to file his or her written report, the Chief of Department, or his or her designee, shall extend the seven-day period for a reasonable period. If the alarm user fails to submit a written report within seven days or within any extended period, or submits such a report and is denied a reconsideration, the false alarm determination shall stand.
(D) Any person issued a citation for any false alarm generated by the alarm user's alarm system by the village for any provision of this chapter may request an administrative hearing in accordance with the municipal code of the village.
