139.06 FALSE ALARM CHARGES.
   (a)   False alarms for both Fire and Police Agencies not only take manpower away from the regular duties of those emergency personnel, but also expose those responders to safety concerns when operating their vehicles to the location of the alarm. Such false alarms also cost the City resources and money to respond. In order to adequately address these issue, the Council for the City of Rossford determines that it is in the City's best interest to establish charges for these false alarms.
   
   (b)   There is hereby established a False Alarm Fee schedule as follows:
   
         First False Alarm         No Fee
            Second False Alarm       $ 25.00
         For Each Subsequent False Alarm, the Fee Shall
            Be an Additional $25.00 Added to the Prior Fee
      This Fee Schedule shall reset to No Fee on January 1 of each calendar year.
