CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of October 11, 2021 — Regular Meeting Page 7 of 17 9. RESOLUTIONS No items were presented for consideration on this agenda. 10. FIRST READING OF ORDINANCES A. Ordinance 21-1561 — Amending Chapter 34 False Alarms The City Cleric read Ordinance 21-1561 by title, as follows: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CASSELBERRY, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 34, ARTICLE II, DIVISION 2, SECTION 34-38 FALSE ALARMS OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF CASSELBERRY, FLORIDA TO CHANGE THE TIMING OF WHEN FALSE ALARM SERVICE FEES ARE CHARGED; PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION, CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE." Staff Presentation: City Manager Randy Newlon stated that Ordinance 21-1561 amends and restates Chapter 34 Article II, Division 2, Section 34-38, False Alarms for the purpose of clarification of wording. He stated that City Code already has regulations in place relating to false alarms which includes a grace period providing that if one location has three false alarms within a six-month period there is no charge, but if there are more than three within that same period, there is a fee of $100 for each event. However, the Code does not currently address when the grace period would reset, and this ordinance does that by including language that states that after a location has been charged the $100 fee for more than three false alarms in a six-month period, if there are no further false alarms for the next six months, the grace period would reset and the location would again be entitled to three false alarms within six months with no charge. Budget Impact: There is no budget impact. Recommendation: The City Manager and the Finance Director recommended approval of Ordinance 21- 1561 on first reading. Audience Participation: No one came forward to address Ordinance 21-1561. MOTION: Commissioner Aramendia moved to approve Ordinance 21-1561 on first reading, as presented. Motion was seconded by Vice Mayor Busch. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote 5-0. 11. PUBLIC HEARINGS A.
