(A) The Building Official or his designee of the city shall issue an alarm registration only after receiving a completed application, the alarm registration fee and after determination that the alarm meets the criteria of this chapter. Any denial shall be made in writing, with a statement of definite reasons for the denial. An application for an alarm registration may be denied if an applicant falsifies any statement on the application. Additionally, a false statement on the aforesaid registration made with knowledge of its falsity shall be a violation of this chapter. Any person denied an alarm registration shall have the right to file an appeal to the City Commission provided that such an appeal is filed with the City Clerk within 15 days of the decision of the Building Official or his designee. The appeal before the City Commission shall be heard within 45 days from the date the appeal is filed. Any such hearing shall afford due process. For purposes of such hearing, the Rules of Evidence shall not be strictly enforced. However, hearsay evidence shall not, in and of itself, be considered sufficient to support a finding or decision unless the evidence would be admissible over objections in a civil action.
(B) Upon issuance of an alarm registration by the Building Official of the city or his designee, shall supply a decal. This decal shall be prominently displayed at or near the front entrance of the premises or if multiple units exist at the same physical address at or near the front entrance of the unit for which the alarm registration was issued so that the decal is visible from outside the premises.
