Any and all liability and consequential damages resulting from a failure to respond to a notification is hereby disclaimed, and governmental immunity as provided by law is retained. By applying for an alarm permit, the alarm user acknowledges that law enforcement response may be influenced by factors such as: the

In the event of five or more false alarms within a permit year for any alarm system, the alarm coordinator shall notify the alarm user of these excessive false alarm violations by certified mail, and shall direct the alarm user, within ten days of receipt of this notice, to submit a report to the alarm coordinator, describing the corrective actions to be taken to eliminate the false alarms. A copy of the notification shall be sent to the alarm business or agent providing service to the alarm user.

E. Upon receipt of an alarm user's report detailing the corrective measures to be taken, the alarm coordinator shall determine whether such measures are reasonably calculated to correct future false alarms, and if acceptable, shall confirm with the alarm user that the permit shall be continued conditioned upon faithful performance of the corrective measures detailed in the report.

Failure to disconnect the alarm system shall subject the alarm user to a penalty, in addition to the cost recovery fee, pursuant to the City's Consolidate Fee Schedule.

9 I. For purposes of this chapter, notice shall be effective if the same is mailed to the alarm user at the address furnished to the alarm coordinator on the permit application form, or at such other address as the alarm user may subsequently furnish in writing to the alarm coordinator. Such notice shall also be effective if mailed to the alarm business at the address provided to the alarm coordinator in connection with the filing of alarm user instructions, or alternatively, to the last known address of the alarm business. In this chapter, for notices other than by certified mail, notice shall be deemed given on the third day after the notice has been deposited in the United States mail with sufficient postage attached.
