SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The city has maintained a fire alarm receiving station in the dispatch center and have
allowed private enterprises to connect to this system (for a fee) so their fire alarm activations
are immediately received by the dispatcher rather than going through a private fire alarm
monitoring company. Maintaining the equipment/software and keeping the dispatcher
trained on this separate system has become quite onerous on the center and is no longer
cost effective for the revenue we receive (Approx $20,000 per year).
The appropriate avenue for discontinuing this service is to repeal Chapter 10.03, Private
Fire Alarm System Connection and Monitoring, in its entirety.
