<br />ORDINANCE #08-22 <br /> <br />CITY OF RAMSEY <br />ANOKA COUNTY <br />STATE OF MINNESOTA <br /> <br />AN AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 5 WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE MUNICIPAL <br />REGULATIONS CHAPTER OF THE CITY CODE OF RAMSEY, MINNESOTA. <br /> <br />AN ORDINANCE DELETING SECTION 7.82 (ALARM SYSTEM) ADDING SECTION <br />5.23 (ALARM SYSTEMS) <br /> <br />The City of Ramsey ordains: <br /> <br />SECTION 1. AUTHORITY <br /> <br />This ordinance is adopted pursuant to and under the authority of the City Charter of the City of <br />Ramsey. <br /> <br />SECTION 2. REPEAL: <br /> <br />Section 7.82 (Alarm System) is hereby repealed. <br />SECTION 3. AMENDMENTS <br /> <br />Chapter 5 of the City Code is amended by addition of the following Section 5.23. <br /> <br />5.23 Alarm Systems <br /> <br />5.23.01 Purpose. The City Council deems it necessary to provide for the special and <br />express regulation of alarm systems which are designed to signal the presence of a hazard <br />requiring urgent attention and to which public safety personnel are expected to respond in order <br />to protect the public health, safety and welfare. The regulation is necessary in order to reduce <br />the increasing frequency of false alarms in the City. The great number and increasing frequency <br />of these false alarms requires intensive, time-consuming efforts by the Police Department and <br />Fire Department and thereby distracts from and reduces the level of services available to the rest <br />of the community. This diminishes the ability of the City to promote the general health, welfare <br />and safety of the community. In consideration for the necessity on the part of the City to provide <br />numerous Public Safety services in one area to work to the detriment of members of the general <br />public, it is hereby decided that the alarm systems shall be regulated by a penalty process. <br /> <br />5.23.02 <br /> <br />Definitions <br />
