DISCUSSION Mr. and Mrs. M. Sered, Deerfield residents,
requested a discussion of false alarm service
charges which they felt were excessive and higher than some nearby
communities. The Board noted that 602 police man hours were spent last
year answering false alarms. The cost for this service should be borne
by the alarm system homeowners. In an effort to discourage the number
of false alarms, the Village increased the fees to make the homeowners
aware it is their responsibility to have the alarm company correct any
malfunctions. The false alarm service charges will remain in place.
There being no further business, upor motion of Trustee Seidman,
seconded by Trustee Rosenthal, the meeting adjourned at 10:05 P.M.
