Subject: Fire Alarms
le 6.4AOL ,4t
I forgot to distribute the breakdown of fees collected for false alarms for each district last night and will get that out
shortly, however,the issue of alarms at fire houses was discussed and I will address it by submitting the memo below to
the Town Board at our next meeting. Let me know if it is sufficient and feel free to have anyone contact me if they have
any questions or think there should be more amendments.
The Southold Town Code Chapter 75 governs alarm systems in Southold including permit requirements and fines and I'll
forward a copy for your convenience.A brief overview of the chapter is listed below:
Section 75-1: States the general purpose of the chapter
Section 75-2: Lists all definitions that are pertinent to this chapter such as the different types of alarms,the jurisdiction
and licensing authority just to name a few.
Section 75-3:This section covers the requirements to have and renew an annual license to maintain an alarm system,
required by the Uniform Fire Code of New York State.
Section 75-4:This specifies the fess schedule for acquiring the initial permit ($25.00) and the annual renewal ($10.00)
Section 75-5:This chapter specifies the fee for an "intentional false alarm" and that the offender may be held
accountable as a "disorderly person"
and can be charged with disorderly conduct.
Section 75-6:This outlines the rules, regulations and fine structure for false alarms and declares the Southold Police
Department as the authorizing authority to
enforce the provision of this section.
Section 75-7:This section simply states the "severability" of this chapter which means if any section of this chapter is
found invalid, all other sections are presumed to still be in
full force and valid.
Section 75-8:The all inclusive statement of fines and penalties for violations of any section of this chapter, including the
non-payment of fines,failure to get a permit, etc.
1 am submitting a list of code amendments of Chapter 75 to the Town Board at the meeting to be held on March 28 that
would exempt fire districts from:
Section 75-2: Waiving obligations for any costs for permits or renewals for alarms for the fire departments
1
Section 75-6:Waiving any and all exposure, including fines,for any fire department and transferring to the departments
the discretion for determining such.
I can't waive 75-4,the requirement for a permit because it is required by the New York State Uniform Fire Code. I'm not
proposing waiving fire departments from 75-5 because that assigns penalties
to the offender, not the fire departments themselves.Also, I'm not proposing waiving 75-7 or 75-8 since the
departments are subject to other parts of the code.
