Such notice shall be in writing and mailed to the permit holders at their last known addresses by certified mail, postage prepaid.
(B) If an alarm system shall create three false alarms in any calendar year, to which response is made, the Police Chief or Fire Chief, or his or her designee, as the case may be, shall notify the owner and the user of that fact, and that any further false alarms to which response is made shall result in the imposition of a fee for responding to such false alarms as provided in division (C) below. Such notice shall be given by mailing a first class letter, postage prepaid, or by personal service to the owner.
(C) There is hereby imposed a fee for false alarms responded to, in excess of three in any calendar year, in an amount as established from time to time by resolution of Borough Council. The fee charged is to be served upon the owner of the premises in the same fashion as notice in division (B) above, with a copy to the user.
