The Chief of the Department may inspect, or cause to be inspected, any alarm system for which a permit is required or for which a permit has been issued, for the purpose of ascertaining that information furnished by the application or permittee is correct, and that a system for which a permit has been issued is being maintained in conformance with the requirements of this chapter.
(Prior Code, § 6-806) (Ord. 93-2173, passed 8-30-1993)
(A) The following shall be grounds for suspension by the Chief of the Department of any permit issued pursuant to this chapter:
(1) Any false or incomplete statement made on the permit application;
(2) Programming of an automatic dialer to select any city telephone line;
(3) Failure to pay an annual maintenance or monitoring fee;
(4) Failure to pay a false alarm charge within the time required;
(5) Maintenance, installation, or use of the alarm system in violation of any applicable law, ordinance, or regulation, including the requirements of this chapter; and
(6) Failure to provide current information as required.
(B) If the Chief determines that there is cause for the suspension of a permit, he or she shall mail a notice of suspension to the owner or lessee at the latter's last known address, stating that the suspension will be effective 30 days after the date of mailing, unless a notice of appeal is filed with the City Manager on or before the effective date.
(Prior Code, § 6-807) (Ord. 93-2173, passed 8-30-1993)
Any owner or lessee to whom has been mailed a notice of suspension may appeal the suspension to the City Manager. The filing of a notice of appeal shall stay the suspension until disposition of the appeal by the City Manager after notice and hearing.
(Prior Code, § 6-807.01) (Ord. 93-2173, passed 8-30-1993)
(A) The holder of an alarm system permit shall, at all times, be responsible for the proper installation, maintenance, and repair of the system, including, but not limited to, design features, method of installation, the repair or replacement of any component, or any condition which may give rise to a false alarm.
(Prior Code, § 6-809)
(B) The holder of an alarm system permit shall be responsible for training and re-training all employees, family members, and other persons who may make regular use of the protected premises and who may, in the normal course of their activities, be in a position to accidentally trigger a sensor. The training shall include procedures and practices to avoid accidental alarms, and steps to follow in the event the system is accidentally triggered.
(Prior Code, § 6-809.01)
(Ord. 93-2173, passed 8-30-1993)
Within the ten days following any change of circumstances which render obsolete any of the information submitted on an application for an alarm systems permit, the holder of the permit shall file an amendment to his application setting forth the currently accurate information. No additional fee shall be required, unless the change is of such character that the permit is no longer applicable to the alarm system for which the permit was issued.
(Prior Code, § 6-809.02) (Ord. 93-2173, passed 8-30-1993)
ALARM RESPONSE
(A) The Fire or Police Department may elect not to respond to an alarm from an alarm system which does not comply with all of the provisions of this chapter. Regardless, the issuance of an alarm system permit under this chapter shall not impose upon the issuing Department an obligation to respond, or liability for failure to respond, to any alarm from the system, and shall not require the Department to accord any priority to the alarm.
(Prior Code, § 6-810)
(B) Upon receiving an emergency alarm signal, the Chief of the Fire Department or Police Department shall promptly cause the owner or lessee, or his or her authorized representative, to be notified thereof by telephone, if reasonably possible, and the owner or lessee or his or her authorized representative, shall immediately come to the premises in person.
(Prior Code, § 6-810.01)
