The council finds that an increasing number of businesses and homes in the city of North Bend are providing protection from burglary and robbery by means of alarm systems which provide a communication to the North Bend police department for the purpose of soliciting a response. Many of such alarm systems are not properly installed, serviced, maintained or operated and are thereby producing large numbers of false alarms which unreasonably burden the emergency response capabilities of the city by unnecessary use of communications, office personnel, police officers and police vehicles for nonemergency situations. Such false alarms also increase costs for the taxpayers as well as decreasing the availability of needed police services. It shall be the policy of the city of North Bend to impose the duty on users of alarm systems to provide proper installation, servicing, maintenance and operation to avoid false alarms and to impose charges on those alarm users who fail to carry out such duties and to revoke permits for use of alarm systems by those who do not comply with the provisions of this chapter. (Ord. 1608 § 1, 1980)
