A. If the alarm administrator determines that an alarm permit should be denied, or revoked, or a false alarm fine imposed on an alarm user, or that a verified response is required, the alarm administrator must provide the alarm user with written notice thereof, including the reasons therefor. The notice may be provided by email, facsimile or U.S. mail.

B. The alarm user shall have the right to appeal such denial, revocation, fine or verified response requirement to the City. Such appeal shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the office of the City Manager within 10 days of the date of the notice of denial, revocation or fine. The City Manager or his or her designee, acting as the alarm appeals officer, shall hear and determine the appeal within 60 days after it is received by the City Manager. The hearing shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 1.40 CVMC. The determination of the City Manager or designee shall be final. A fee as set forth in the master fee schedule shall be imposed by the City Manager as a condition to filing any appeal. The fee shall not be greater than the anticipated cost of processing and conducting the appeal in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 1.40 CVMC. (Ord. 3278 § 1, 2013).
