   (b)   Response to a premises at which no other false alarm has occurred within any calendar month shall be referred to as a "first response". No fee or order of disconnection shall be imposed for a first response.
 
   (c)   When two or more false alarms have occurred at any premises in any calendar month, the owner shall be liable to the City for a fee to compensate the City for the costs of response. The fee for the cost of the response for the second false alarm in any calendar month shall be as provided by ordinance of Council and the fee for the cost of the response for the third and each succeeding false alarm in any calendar month shall be as provided by ordinance of Council.
 
   (d)   Any false alarm resulting from a failure to take the necessary corrective action to prevent such reoccurrence or any nonpayment of any false alarm fee may result in the Department providing a written notice ordering the disconnection of such alarm until such corrective action or payment of fee is made, provided, however, that no disconnection shall be ordered on any premises required by law to have an alarm system in operation.
