A. A graduated false alarm response fine shall be assessed for each response by one or more public safety officers to a false alarm. The false alarm response fines shall be based on a rolling twelve (12) month period starting with the first false alarm call date. A false alarm response fine shall not be assessed if the alarm administrator determines that the alarm company or alarm user, prior to the arrival of public safety officers at the protected property, notified police dispatch that a public safety response is not necessary.
B. All false alarm invoices shall be mailed to the alarm user within thirty (30) days of the false alarm. The fine is due not later than thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice. Fines received after the due date shall be subject to a late fee. Fines received more than sixty (60) days after the due date shall be subject to additional late fees.
C. If the location of the false alarm is monitored, the system subscriber shall be liable for the false alarm response fine. If the location is not monitored, the alarm user shall be liable for the false alarm response fine. (Ord. 2012-023 § 2)
