Article IV — Administration And Enforcement

The city council, by resolution, shall establish rules and regulations for the administration of this chapter, which shall include, but not be limited to, a schedule of fees for monitoring services, as described in this chapter. The police chief is authorized to enforce the rules and regulations adopted by resolutions of the city council.

(Ord. 707 § 1(part), 2000)

The following shall constitute grounds for revocation of a permit:

• A. The violation of any of the provisions of this chapter;

• B. Deficiency in an alarm system or its operation that actuates excessive false alarms as defined by the city council, by resolution;

• C. Any false, misleading or fraudulent statement of a material fact in the application for a permit, or in any report or record required to be filed with any city department;

• D. Failure by the permittee or his designated representative to respond within one hour to a request for access to the protected premises, made by the police department subsequent to an alarm activation.

• (Ord. 707 § 1(part), 2000)

In the case of a revocation of a permit, the police chief shall inform the permittee in writing of the revocation of the permit. The notice shall state the reasons for such revocation. The revocation shall be effective eleven days from and after the service of the notice, unless an appeal is timely filed in accordance with Section 9.60.330. Prior to the hearing on appeal, the permittee may offer evidence to the police chief showing why the permit should not be revoked. Based on sufficient evidence, the police chief may withdraw the revocation. (Ord. 707 § 1(part), 2000)

Any person whose application for a permit is denied, as provided in this chapter, or whose permit is revoked, may within ten days of written notice of revocation or denial, file with the city manager a written appeal. Within thirty days after receipt of such appeal, the city manager, or his designee shall conduct a hearing with respect to such denial or revocation. The city manager or his designee shall, within ten days after the hearing, give written notice of his decision. The city manager's decision after such hearing shall be final and conclusive. (Ord. 707 § 1(part), 2000)

Alarm systems which produce excessive false alarms, as defined by resolution adopted by the city council, shall be a public nuisance, and may be abated pursuant to Chapter 9.100 of this code.

(Ord. 707 § 1(part), 2000)

The conviction or punishment of any person for violation of the provisions of this chapter shall not release such person form paying the permit fee due and unpaid at the time of such conviction, nor shall payment of any fees prevent criminal prosecution for violation of any of the provisions of this chapter. All remedies shall be cumulative, and the sue of one or more remedies by the city shall not bar the use of any other remedy for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this chapter. The amount of any fee shall be deemed a debt to the city. An action may be commenced in the name of the city in any court of competent jurisdiction for the amount of any delinquent fees. All fees shall be deemed delinquent thirty days after they are due and payable. (Ord. 707 § 1(part), 2000)

Any person violating any of the provisions of this chapter, or any permittee using an alarm system while the permit is revoked, regardless of whether or not such use resulted in a valid or false alarm shall be deemed guilty of an infraction and upon conviction thereof be punishable by a fine of not less than one hundred dollars.
