A. Monitoring By Village: No alarm system will be allowed to transmit or in any other way connect to an alarm board or other receiving equipment located on village property or monitored by the village employees.
B. Twenty Or More False Alarms: If the police department records indicate twenty (20) or more false alarms within a calendar year for any alarm system:
1. Notice: The alarm coordinator shall notify the alarm user or monitoring service that the alarm registration is subject to revocation and direct that the user submit a report to the department within fifteen (15) days of receipt of said notice describing the actions to be taken to eliminate the cause of the false alarms.
2. Report By User Or Monitoring Service: If the alarm user or monitoring service submits a report as directed, the alarm coordinator shall determine whether or not the action to be taken will substantially reduce the likelihood of false alarms. If he determines that the action will substantially reduce the likelihood of false alarms, he shall notify the alarm user or monitoring service that the registration will not be revoked, but the registration remains subject to revocation if more false alarms occur within the calendar year.
3. Request For Hearing: If no report is submitted, or if the alarm coordinator determines that the action to be taken by the alarm user or monitoring service will not substantially reduce the likelihood of false alarms, the alarm coordinator shall give notice to the user that the registration will be revoked if the user does not file, within ten (10) days, a written request for a hearing.
4. Notice Of Hearing: If a hearing is requested, written notice of the time and place of the hearing shall be served by regular mail on the user by the alarm coordinator at least ten (10) days prior to the date set for the hearing, which date shall not be more than twenty one (21) nor less than ten (10) days after the filing of the request for the hearing. (Ord. 608, 11-21-1994)
5. Hearing; Findings: The hearing shall be before the village board. The alarm user or monitoring service shall have the right to present written and oral evidence regarding the alarm. If the village board determines that twenty (20) or more false alarms have occurred, and the alarm user or monitoring service has failed to take action to substantially reduce the likelihood of false alarms, the village board may revoke the alarm user's or monitoring service's registration. The village board shall make written findings. (Ord. 2008-07-15B, 7-15-2008)
6. Revoked User's Registration Application; Fees: An alarm user or monitoring service whose registration has been revoked may apply for a revoked user's registration subject to the terms thereof. The alarm coordinator may impose reasonable restrictions and conditions upon the alarm user or monitoring service before issuing a revoked user's registration, which restrictions and conditions shall be written on the registration. A revoked user's registration shall be issued for the remainder of the regular calendar year and the fee for such revoked user's registration shall be two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00). In addition to the registration fee, the holder of a revoked user's registration shall be assessed an additional charge of fifty dollars ($50.00) for each false alarm which occurs during the remainder of the calendar year in addition to any other fee or charge contained in the provisions of this chapter.
7. Retention Of Registration; False Alarm Fees: Should the alarm coordinator determine that the nature of the alarm user's or monitoring service's business or the complexity of the alarm system cause continued false alarms which are not the result of any substantial negligence or disregard on the part of the alarm user or monitoring service, the alarm coordinator may permit the alarm user or monitoring service to retain the registration without processing a revocation thereof. In that event, the alarm user or monitoring service shall be assessed fifty dollars ($50.00) for each false alarm thereafter, and the alarm user or monitoring service shall be responsible for paying same according to the provisions of this chapter. (Ord. 608, 11-21-1994)
