In the event that a false alarm, as defined in this Code, is activated by any alarm system within the City, a citation shall be issued immediately by the police department responding to that false alarm, whether such false alarm is a police alarm system or a fire alarm system. The citation shall set forth the nature and time of the false alarm and state that a charge of twenty-five dollars for the second false alarm or fifty dollars for the third false alarm or one hundred dollars for every false alarm thereafter from an alarm system is due and payable within fifteen days after service of the citation. The citation may be served personally at the time of the false alarm on the alarm owner or any adult representative of the owner who is present at the time. If neither such person is present, the citation shall be mailed by regular first-class United States mail, postage prepaid, to the address at which the alarm is installed, and the mailing of such citation shall be deemed to constitute service thereof

If such citation is not paid within the time specified, a second notice shall be sent by certified United States mail, postage prepaid, with return receipt requested. In the event that the alarm owner or some adult representative thereof does not accept this second notice, it shall then be personally served upon such owner or some adult representative at his/her home and an additional service fee of twenty-five dollars shall be assessed against the owner.
