(10) The term "false alarm" means the activation of an alarm system through mechanical failure, malfunction, improper installation, or the negligence of the owner or lessee of an alarm system, or of his employees or agents or other undetermined cause. False alarm does not include alarms caused by tornadoes, other violent climatic conditions, or intermediate disruption of telephone circuits beyond the control of the alarm company and/or alarm owner/lessee.

2. Section 18.05 is amended by adding at the end:

"Direct dial alarm devices used by physically handicapped persons are specifically exempt from this section.

3. Section 18.09 is amended to read:

18.09 FEE FOR ANSWERING ALARMS. There is hereby imposed a fee for law enforcement response to any alarm resulting from the activation of an alarm system, except when law enforcement finds that an unauthorized person is on the premises, was seen on the premises immediately before the alarm was activated, or that there is fresh evidence of forcible entry or attempted forcible entry. There shall be no fee for the first two responses in any 12-month period. Thereafter, the alarm owner/lessee shall pay a fee of $25 for the third response in said 12-month period; $50 for the fourth response in said 12-month period; and $100 for the fifth and each successive response in the 12-month period. The fee is inapplicable when the alarm is caused by a tornado, other violent climatic conditions, or intermediate disruption of telephone circuits beyond the control of the alarm company and/or alarm user. This fee is imposed whether the Sheriff's Department receives the alarm by direct connection or through an intermediary such as an answering service or central station. If the Sheriff is notified of the date of the installation of a new alarm system, the fee imposed by this section is waived for a 90-day period from the date of installation. Failure to pay the fee within 30 days of receipt of the bill shall be grounds for immediate disconnect from the system.
