A. An alarm information card shall be completed by the user and submitted to the police department alarm coordinator by the user of any alarm system prior to the operation of the system.

B. This card shall set forth the full name, address and telephone number of both the owner or lessee on whose premises the system will be installed, operated, connected or maintained, and the name of the person of licensed alarm system business installing, maintaining or servicing the system, as well as the type of system to be installed, operated or maintained. The card shall further contain the names, addresses and telephone numbers of three individuals who may be contacted by peace officers responding to an alarm. The persons listed shall have authority to act for the alarm user in granting peace officers access to any portion of the premises concerned and shall be knowledgeable in the basic operation of the alarm system. The alarm input card shall contain such additional information as the chief of police shall reasonably deem necessary to properly identify and locate the user, the alarm business installing, servicing or maintaining the alarm system, and the persons to be contacted in the event of the filing of an alarm report.

C. A service fee may be assessed upon a user when the peace officers responding to an alarm are unable to contact any of the listed parties due to outdated or inaccurate information provided by the user, or if none of the listed parties are available; or if the listed parties fail to respond to the scene within thirty minutes of notice. The service fee shall be determined by treating any such failure by a user as if it were a false alarm, as provided in Section 9.57.080(B) or its successor section, and may be considered as an additional false alarm for the purpose of computing fees.

D. In addition to submitting the alarm information card, users of local alarm systems shall post, near the alarm and at a position readable from ground level, a code number furnished by the alarm coordinator to allow reference to the alarm information card required by this section.
