There is hereby levied against the subscriber and/or the record property owner a fee of thirty dollars ($30.00) for each false alarm determined to be such by the Chief of Police, except that no such fee shall be imposed for false alarms occurring during the first thirty days of operation of an alarm installation, or the first thirty days of operation of any existing alarm after passage of this section, or during the first thirty days of occupancy of a dwelling by a new resident of this City.
The Chief of Police shall keep an accurate record of all false alarms, shall submit a monthly report to the City Manager for each alarm system, and shall bill each such subscriber and/or owner. Any subscriber and/or owner feeling aggrieved by the false alarm decision of the Chief may appeal such decision to the City Manager within thirty days of such decision, who may affirm or reverse the decision. Failure of the subscriber and/or owner of property served by a burglar alarm system to pay the fee imposed by this section within thirty days after billing, or, in the event of appeal to the City Manager, of the City Manager's decision affirming, shall constitute grounds for the City Manager to revoke such alarm installation permit, and he shall then cite the subscriber and/or owner under Section 703.99. An acquittal on such citation shall cause such revocation to be rescinded.

Such order shall be subject to the appeal procedure set forth in Section 703.09.
