Any owner who receives an invoice for a false alarm fee shall be entitled to an appeal
to the city manager or his designee. An appeal must be in writing, stating the reasons
why the fee should not be assessed, and shall be made within fifteen (15) days of
the date of the invoice rendered by the city. The city manager shall review the facts
and circumstances and shall determine whether the owner has shown good cause why the
charge should be withdrawn and shall render a decision on the appeal within five (5)
days of receipt. The decision of the city manager shall be the final administrative
action by the city. Upon making a decision on the matter, the city manager or his
designee shall notify the owner of the decision in writing. If the appeal is denied,
fees shall be remitted within thirty (30) days of the date the appeal is denied.
