(b)

The director of public safety shall register the alarm in the name of the alarm user upon submission of an application therefore in accordance with this section, unless any statement made in the application was incomplete or false.

(c)

Whenever the name or telephone number of the alarm user or any other information in subsection (a) changes, the alarm user shall file an amendment to the permit application within thirty (30) days of such change.

(d)

Registration of alarms that are monitored by an alarm system business shall be the responsibility of the alarm system business. The alarm system business shall provide the director of public safety with the same information required in subsection (a) for all alarms monitored in the city. It shall be the responsibility of the alarm system business to keep this information updated on at least a thirty-day basis. Any person that has an alarm system monitored by an alarm system business will be responsible for any user fees charges pursuant to this ordinance. Failure on the part of an alarm system business to maintain a current listing of the persons responsible for the alarm systems they monitor will subject the alarm system business for any user fees that would be charged to the alarm user.
