(A) (1) With the receipt of notice of the twelfth false alarm signal in a given calendar year, or in the case of an alarm user who causes or permits a high incidence of false alarms over a multi-calendar year period (i.e., six or more false alarms per year), the Police Alarm Administrator shall inform the alarm user that a show cause hearing will be scheduled before the City Manager.
(2) During the hearing, the alarm user must appear and show cause as to why the city should not require the disconnection of the alarm system from the alarm receiving equipment at the Police Department, or, if the user employs a central alarm monitoring company, why the city should not discontinue response to additional alarms when contacted by the alarm monitoring company.
(B) Following the hearing, the City Manager may order the disconnection of the alarm equipment from the alarm receiving system of the city or instruct the City Police Department and/or the Fire Department to ignore alarm signals from the subject user when contacted by the alarm monitoring company. The City Manager may also order other appropriate action, including, but not limited to, placing the alarm user on a probationary status.
(C) No person shall fail to disconnect his or her alarm from the city’s alarm receiving equipment after being so ordered by the City Manager.
