warning/fee determination. If the day following the alarm incident
is a Sunday or a legal holiday, consideration will be given to the
real ability of the owner to actually have his system serviced by
an alarm system technician, and if the fire chief determines that
"9'-

it was not reasonably possible for the owner to have the system
serviced to correct the malfunction causing the false alarm, a fee
waiver will be granted for that day.
f. The fire department shall determine those hours and
dates during which inclement weather may impact the proper
operation of an alarm system, and false alarms occasioned thereby
shall not result in issuance of a warning notice or imposition of
a service fee.
g. Upon failure of the owner, lessee or manager of the
property to pay the false alarm fee(s), the unpaid fee(s) may be
assessed as a lien upon the real property where the fire alarm
system is installed. The city may enforce its lien and maintain a
personal action against the property owner, lessee or manager at
the same time to recover the unpaid fee(s) and any interest accrued
thereon. In any action brought by the city for the collection of
the unpaid fee(s) or lien(s), the city shall be entitled to recover
its actual costs and attorney's fees for the action.
