COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT Chapter 8.81 of the Municipal Code relating to security alarm systems was amended to allow for charging an annual permit fee for alarm holders. Additionally, fees will be charged on a false alarm basis. The attached resolution sets the amounts of the fines to be charged and the circumstances under which they will be charged. The fees as set forth in the resolution are consistent with other area agencies and would offset some of the cost of responding to those false alarms. Police officers currently respond to over 700 alarm activations per month. About 95% of these are false alarms. Calculations covering false alarm responses for the month of October, 1990 estimated the officer time wasted at 597.3 hours. A survey conducted by the Crime Prevention office of the police department projected the average yearly revenue from false alarm fees only (not the annual permit fees), at $135,200 if fines are charged at the rates and frequencies as stated in the attached resolution. I believe adoption of the resolution as it stands will serve two purposes: 1. It is expected that the total number of alarm activations per month will decrease. 2. It will increase revenue. 75-0264 :> " " Q:ie:.; r...Z' r..:I r..:I:E ::>00 ZOO r..:Ir..:I >00 r..:ItIl e::< .> ~ " .., r..:I Cl 00 <r..:I:E e::tIle:: r..:I...::I< ><...::1 <r...< 00 :E e::Z <0 ...::IH <E-o U r..:I< 00....... ...::I <0 r...r..:I ~ r...0 0...::1 ...::I *'< r..:I Cl e:: < :l: U E-o H :E e:: r..:I ~ o r..:I E-oe:: HH ~g r..:Ir..:I ~o: 00 :E e:: < ...::I < r... o *' Z o H E-o < ...::I ::> ~ o ~ >< U Z r..:I Cl 0(1\ OCZl 0(1\ ..... o J>I-l NO .".....
