If the location of the headquarters of the Police Department
should change at any time, the Borough shall not be responsible for
any cost incurred by permit holders or other persons because of said
change in location.
No person shall conduct or test any alarm device without first
obtaining permission from the Police Department. Where the equipment
is keyed through an intermediary, no such permission is necessary
unless the alarm or signal is to be relayed to the central receiving
station.
The issuance of any permit shall not constitute acceptance by
the Borough of any liability to maintain any equipment, to answer
alarms, nor otherwise render the Borough liable to any person for
any loss or damage relating to the alarm system or procedure.
Administration and enforcement of this chapter shall be functions
of the Borough and shall include the following:
A. Authority to accept or reject a permit application or revoke a permit
because of a misrepresentation or false statement contained in any
application for a permit, failure to correct any deficiencies in equipment
or operation of an alarm device after receipt of due notice from the
Borough, or not meeting other conditions and specifications of this
chapter.
B. Authority to order the disconnection of an alarm device until such
device is made to comply with operational standards set forth herein,
but only when evidence of failure to comply with said standards imposes
a burden upon the Borough as a result of false alarms.
C. Authority, at reasonable times and upon written notice, to enter
upon any premises within the Borough to inspect the installation and
operation of an alarm device.
Whenever, under the provisions of this chapter, the Police Department
is empowered to make a decision with respect to the installation,
operation or maintenance of any alarm device, or with respect to the
denial or revocation of any permit relating thereto, any applicant
for a permit or permit holder aggrieved by such decision may, within
10 days following the decision, file a written appeal therefrom with
the Borough Council of the Borough, whereupon the Borough Council
shall promptly conduct a hearing within 30 days of the appeal petition
and affirm, modify or reverse the decision appealed from. The decision
of the Borough Council shall be final.
Any person, firm or corporation who shall violate any provision of this chapter shall, upon conviction thereof, be sentenced to pay a fine as provided in Chapter
1, Article
II, General Penalty, of the Code of the Borough of Munhall, and, in default of payment of said fine and costs, to imprisonment for a term not to exceed 30 days.
