A. Any applicant for an alarm system permit whose application is denied by the chief of police or any permittee whose permit is suspended pursuant to an order of suspension made by the chief of police or any person who is assessed a service fee for excessive false alarms or civil remedy pursuant to this chapter may appeal to the city manager or designee by filing with the city clerk a notice of appeal within fifteen days after such denial, order of suspension, notice of assessment of service fee for excessive false alarms, or civil remedy. The notice of appeal must set forth the basis of the appeal. An appellant must pay the sum of one hundred dollars to the city clerk as a filing fee at the time of filing said notice of appeal. The city clerk shall report the filing of such appeal to the chief of police. The chief of police shall, within thirty days, make a written report to the city clerk setting forth the basis of his or her action denying the application for a permit, issuing the order of suspension, assessment of a service fee for excessive false alarms, or civil remedy. The city clerk shall forward said written report to the city manager or designee. Following the receipt of the written report, the city manager or designee shall set the appeal for hearing, which shall be held as soon as reasonably possible.

B. Filing of a request for appeal shall not stay the action by the chief of police revoking an alarm permit or requiring payment of a fine, prior to the city manager’s complete review. (Ord. 4694 § 1, 2012; Ord. 4649 § 1, 2011)
