149.02   FALSE ALARMS.
   (a)   No person shall allow more than three chargeable false alarms to be transmitted during the immediately preceding one-year period. An alarm will be classified as false if the responding police personnel determine that there is no evidence of robbery, burglary, vandalism, unauthorized intrusion or medical emergency. If the person demonstrates that the alarm was caused by an event not reasonably foreseeable and which could not have been prevented by the proper adjustment or presetting of the sensor threshold, the alarm will be designated a nonchargeable false alarm.
   (b)   After three official chargeable false alarms in any twelve-month period, the owner of the alarm system shall be charged thirty dollars ($30.00) for each chargeable false alarm. The billing will be through the City Finance Department and the funds shall be placed in the General Fund.
