<br />the hearing is conducted. <br /> <br />(F) In the case of penalties for excess False Alarm Notifications, this decision shall <br />be based upon whether a preponderance of the evidence establishes that the alarm <br />system has experienced the number of False Alarm Notifications based upon the <br />criterion for False Alarm Notifications contained in this Ordinance. <br /> <br />(G) In any other cases, the decision shall be made upon a preponderance of <br />evidence that either establishes or fails to affirm any other applicable violation ofthis <br />Ordinance. <br /> <br />(H) The Special Master shall affirm, reverse, or modify the action of the Police <br />Chief. <br /> <br />(I) The decision of the Special Master is final as to administrative remedies within <br />the City, but does not preclude an appeal to any court of competent jurisdiction. <br /> <br />(J) Fees and costs incurred either as service charges for false alarms, late fees, <br />violations and/or hearing assessments shall constitute a lien against the premises to <br />the same extent as a lien for special assessment, and with the same penalties and <br />same rights of collection for foreclosure sale and forfeitures obtained for special <br />assessment liens, and may be handled in that manner by the City. It shall be <br />unlawful for any person to refuse or fail to pay any cost assessed pursuant to this <br />Ordinance. The refusal or failure to make payment within thirty (30) days of being <br />notified of such expenses after assessment or once an appeal has been concluded, <br />shall constitute a separate offense against the City. The penalty for this violation <br />shall be a charge of not more than two hundred fifty dollars ($250). <br /> <br />(K) Should any fee be assessed pursuant to this Ordinance and remain unpaid in <br />excess of one hundred (100) calendar days from the date that the charge is billed, a <br />collection fee in the amount of twenty percent (20%) ofthe outstanding balance shall <br />be assessed and shall be payable by the owner of the premises or permit holder in <br />addition to the original fee. The owner or permit holder shall also be responsible for <br />any legal fees or costs incurred by the City in enforcement of this Ordinance. <br /> <br />Section 2. <br /> <br />The provisions of this Ordinance are declared to be severable and if any <br /> <br />section, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance shall for any reason be held to be invalid or <br /> <br />unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining sections, clauses, and <br /> <br />phrases of this Ordinance but they shall remain in effect, it being the legislative intent that this <br /> <br />Ordinance shall stand notwithstanding the invalidity of any part. <br /> <br />Security A]arms Ord. <br /> <br />-10- <br />
