ORDINANCES TO BE ADOPTED
26 - Moved by Dell, seconded by Brown
that "an Ordinance amending the 1988 Code of Ordinances of the City of
Waterloo, Iowa by adding Subsections 3-1/2-15 through 3-1/2-18, All Dealing
with Alarm Users, to Chapter 3-1/2, Alarm Systems (Alarm user fees for Police
Department), be received, placed on file, passed and considered for the third
time.
Prior to the vote, Jim Lind of Jim Lind Amoco Station questioned why the
ordinance needed to be passed as of January 1st when the need for additional
revenue for the City would be July 1, 1988.
Police Chief Roger Shook stated that the need is to raise revenue for the City
immediately as he is $90,000.00 short of revenue for the current year budget.
Lind questioned why the City was going to impose a charge for being hooked to
an alarm system when he felt that the false alarm fee schedule was too low.
Lind continued that he would rather see us raise the false alarm fee schedule
than to charge the businesses to be hooked to the alarm system.
Councilperson Brown stated that he felt that the taxpayers of the community
should not pay for a service for private business.
Ken Samek from Hawkeye Alarm Company stated he felt that he was receiving no
service from the Police Department as far as being hooked directly to the alarm
system until the Police respond to an alarm. He continued that he felt that
businesses would have a mass exit from the alarm users and go to alarms that
were not connected to the Police Department, if the ordinance were enacted.
