(a) Owners or lessees of any alarm system which has activated shall respond to the premises upon being requested, in order to reset or disable the alarm system within 30 minutes of notification. Failure to provide such response shall result in a charge of $150.00 for each such occurrence.

(b) Whenever an alarm is activated in the city, requiring an emergency response to the premises by law enforcement, fire rescue or emergency medical services, and such emergency response personnel are dispatched to the premises and it is determined by the responding agencies that the alarm was a false alarm, the owner shall be served an "alarm cause and corrective action" form. This form shall indicate that the activation was deemed to be a false alarm and shall require the owner to have the alarm system examined by an alarm system technician and that a bona fide attempt has been made to identify and correct any defect of design, installation or operation of the alarm system which was identifiable as the cause of the false alarm. The identity of the alarm business engaged to examine the alarm system shall be provided on the form and the action taken in response to the false alarm.

(c) Service of the alarm cause and corrective action form shall be served by hand delivery where practical and where not practical by certified mail return receipt requested to the address provided by owner on the application for alarm permit.

(d) Failure to return the alarm cause and corrective action form, to the satisfaction of the city, within 20 days of receipt of such form will result in an assessment against the owner of the premises of a fine of $500.00.

(e) The city shall have the right to inspect any alarm system on the premises to which a response has been made and may cause an inspection of such system to be made at any reasonable time thereafter to determine whether it is being used in conformity with the terms of this article.
