Limited Response shall mean that the Police Department shall respond only to verified emergencies, including, but not limited to, the following: crimes in progress, panic button calls, silent alarm calls and calls from persons on site reporting a crime.

(B)

An alarm system may be placed on limited response for one or more of the following occurrences:

(1)

Alarm systems with six (6) or more false alarms, and corrective action prescribed by the Alarm Coordinator has not been completed; or

(2)

The alarm user has response fees which are overdue for sixty (60) or more calendar days; or

(3)

The alarm system is unregistered and the applicant has not registered or obtained a permit within thirty (30) calendar days after notification.

(C)

Prior to being placed on limited response, except for an unregistered system, the alarm user shall be notified in writing with the date specific as to when the alarm system shall be placed on limited response. The Alarm Coordinator shall send out notice by certified mail to the alarm user. Any unregistered system shall be automatically placed on limited response, if the applicant has not registered within thirty (30) calendar days of notification, until such time that the alarm system is registered with the City. In addition, the user of an unregistered system or a system installed without a permit may be subject to a notification to appear before a special master and/or be issued a City citation.

(D)

The alarm user shall pay a reinstatement fee of ninety dollars ($90.00) to be reinstated to nonlimited response status together with certification by an alarm system contractor that any and all problems with the alarm system have been corrected.
