§ 19.27. Procedure for suspension and revocation.  


Latest version.
  • The chief of police may suspend any permit issued under this article for any of the grounds provided for in section 19.26. In order to suspend such permit, the chief of police shall first serve the permittee with a notice of intent to issue a written order of suspension. Said notice shall provide a date for the issuance of said order not later than fifteen days from the date of said notice. The chief of police shall have the right to withdraw the notice of intent, establish a new time period for the assessment of service charges under section 19.31, and not issue a written order of suspension upon receipt of satisfactory evidence which would indicate that there will be a significant reduction in future false alarms by making necessary system modifications or operating policy revisions and/or additional operator training. In the event the notice of intent is not withdrawn, then the chief shall issue a written order of suspension which shall state the reasons for such suspension. The order shall be effective immediately, if personally served, or forty-eight hours after the same has been deposited in the course of transmission in said United States Postal Service.
    Immediately upon such an order becoming effective, the permittee shall discontinue the use of an alarm system requiring a permit under this article and cease all operations conducted under the authority of any permit issued pursuant to this article. Further, in the event permittee fails to cease all operations, the police department will not respond to any alarms issued from the alarm system without a valid and effective permit in accordance with this article. (Ord. No. 935, § 1; Ord. No 967, § 4; Ord. No. 1051, § 3.)
