(a) If at any time it comes to the attention of the chief of police that the owner or lessee of an alarm system has violated any provisions of this chapter, or rules or regulations made pursuant to this chapter, including but not limited to false alarms which exceed the numbers permitted pursuant to section 3A-4, the chief of police may serve such owner or lessee with a written order of suspension which shall state the reason(s) for such suspension. The order shall be effective immediately if personally served, or 72 hours after the same has been deposited by certified mail in any branch of the United States Post Office, addressed to the owner or lessee of such alarm system at his mailing address, and shall contain the following notice:

“Any person who wilfully continues in violation of any provision of the City’s Alarm Ordinance, will be guilty of an infraction and will be subject to criminal prosecution.

“If you dispute this order of suspension you may, within 15 days of the date of mailing this order, appeal to the City Council in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 of this Ordinance, a copy of which is attached for your reference.”

Immediately upon such an order becoming effective, such owner or lessee shall immediately discontinue the use of any alarm system.

(b) Upon failure of the owner or lessee of an alarm system to pay the false alarm prevention payment provided for in section 3A-4, to cause the alarm system or alarm systems to be properly repaired, or to be properly used and operated, or to perfect an appeal to the city council as provided for in section 3A-3, such owner or lessee shall immediately discontinue the use of any systems. The alarm system or systems shall not thereafter be used until such payment has been made, such repairs have been effected, or such owner or lessee satisfies the chief of police that such system or systems shall be properly used in the future and the chief of police shall authorize in writing the use of such system or systems. (Ord. No. 1390, § 2.)
