[Ord. 849, 12/17/1974, § 1]
Prior to the installation of any privately owned and maintained
protective alarm system, an application shall be completed by the
owner, stating such information as the Mechanicsburg Borough Council
may deem necessary to grant approval or disapproval of said system.
Such application shall be filed in the office of the Borough Manager.
[Ord. 849, 12/17/1974, § 2]
Upon due consideration, the Council shall either approve or
disapprove the aforementioned application in accordance with its best
judgment after considering all the facts. Any owner, after having
an application disapproved, may have the decision reconsidered by
the Council, provided that written notice is submitted within 30 days
stating the reason.
[Ord. 849, 12/17/1974, § 3; as amended by Ord.
925, 4/19/1983]
Installation shall be in accordance with the appropriate fire and electrical codes (see Chapter 5, Code Enforcement) in effect and in accordance with all applicable laws of the Commonwealth in Pennsylvania governing such installations. In addition, the installation shall be at the cost of the applicant.
[Ord. 849, 12/17/1974, § 4; as amended by Ord.
925, 4/19/1983; and by Ord. 974, 10/17/1991, § 1]
For each installation, either fire or burglar or the like, installed
within the Borough, a service charge shall be paid by the owner for
each installation which is activated falsely, through human neglect
or otherwise, after the first three false alarms occurring in any
calendar year. The service charge shall be $100 for each subsequent
false signal occurring within any calendar year; provided, however,
that the Borough Manager or his designee shall mail a copy of this
Part 4 to the owner of the installation after the third false alarm
in any calendar year. Failure to pay such service charge within 10
days of receipt of billing of the same shall result in a fifteen-day
notice to remove said equipment from the Borough.
[Ord. 849, 12/17/1974, § 5]
The Borough of Mechanicsburg shall not be liable for any malfunction
of the equipment, false alarms, or any cost of maintenance or repair
of equipment.
