As to any Public Improvements which have been repaired, replaced, or reconstructed during the Warranty period, Developer and its surety hereby agree to extend the Warranty for an additional one (1) year period following City's acceptance of the repaired, replaced, or reconstructed Public Improvements. Nothing herein shall relieve Developer from any other liability it may have under federal, state, or local law to repair, replace, or reconstruct any Public Improvement following expiration of the Warranty or any extension thereof. Developer's warranty obligation under this section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. In addition, nothing contained herein shall impose upon Developer additional maintenance obligations for any Public Improvements that are repaired, replaced or reconstructed once these are accepted by City. 13.0 Security, Surety Bonds.

The amount of the Security shall be based on the City Engineer's approximation of the actual cost to construct the Public Improvements, including the replacement cost for all landscaping ("Estimated Costs"). If City determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the Estimated Costs have changed, Developer shall adjust the Security in the amount requested by City.

The City Council may, in its sole and absolute discretion and upon recommendation of the City Engineer, partially release a portion or portions of the security provided under this section as the Public Improvements are accepted by City, provided that Developer is not in default on any provision of this Agreement or condition of approval for Tract No. 71774, and the total remaining security is not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Estimated Costs. All security provided under this section shall be released at the end of the Warranty period, or any extension thereof as provided in Section 12 of this Agreement, provided that Developer is not in default on any provision of this Agreement or condition of approval for Tract No. 71774. 13.2 Labor & Material Bond. To secure payment to the contractors, subcontractors, laborers, material men, and other persons furnishing labor, materials, or equipment for performance of the Public Improvements and this Agreement, Developer shall provide City a labor and materials bond in the amount of Two Hundred Fifty Seen _Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($257,000.00), which sum shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Estimated Costs. The security provided under this section may be released by written authorization of the City Engineer after six (6) months from the date City accepts the final Public Improvements. The amount of such security shall be reduced by the total of all stop notice or mechanic's lien claims of which City is aware, plus an amount equal to twenty percent (201/o) of such claims for reimbursement of City's anticipated administrative and legal expenses arising out of such claims. 13.3 Additional Requirements.

USA SCHEDULED ITEM C-2 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS FROM: SAM GONZALEZ, CHIEF OF POLICE VIA: JAMES MAKSHANOFF, CITY MANAGER DATE: NOVEMBER 18, 2013 SUBJECT: INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 13-04 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA, AMENDING AND RESTATING ARTICLE III OF CHAPTER 18 OF THE AZUSA MUNICIPAL CODE TO ESTABLISH A REGULATORY SCHEME FOR ADMINISTERING AND MANAGING THE CITY'S RESPONSE TO ALARMS, FEES, FINES, APPEAL PROCESS, AND PROVIDING OTHER MATTERS PROPERLY RELATING THERETO. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council waive further reading, read by title only and introduce Ordinance No. 13-04 - an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Azusa, amending and restating Article III of Chapter 18 of the Azusa Municipal Code to establish a regulatory scheme for administering and managing the City's response to alarms, fees, fines, appeal process, and providing other matters properly relating thereto. BACKGROUND The Azusa Police Department responded to 1,976 alarm calls in the last two years (2011-2012). Of those alarms, only 14 were confirmed burglaries (99.2% were false alarms). These false alarms were caused by equipment malfunction, poor installation, or user errors. False alarms create a serious burden on the limited Police Department resources that result in higher response times to other legitimate crimes. Amending the ordinance will assist in our goal to reduce the number of false alarms to which officers must respond, thereby freeing up limited resources to respond to other emergency and non- emergency calls. The City of Azusa last reviewed its alarm ordinance when it was enacted in 1983. While it was a contemporary ordinance when adopted, time has caused it to become antiquated and in need of updating. Alarm industry standards have changed, including technology of equipment, acceptable standardized fee/fine structures, program monitoring options, and our ordinance should be updated to reflect these changes. The current municipal code must be amended in order to strengthen the alarm program by Page 2 of 2 10/7/2013 City Council Staff Report Alarm System Ordinance decreasing false alarms, gaining compliance from alarm companies and customers and to improve billing/collection. Improvements and changes to the current municipal code include the following: 1. The first false alarm fee -Alarm users may have their first false burglar alarm fine waived by completing an on-line or mail-in alarm school within 30 days of fine assessment. This is an educational component to help users understand the proper operation of their alarm system. Statistically, alarm users that have one false burglar alarm per year, account for 60% of the total annual false burglar alarm calls. These users will not be fined should they take the opportunity to complete the short alarm school. 2. Establishes "Enhanced Call Verification" which requires an attempt by the Monitoring Company to contact the alarm site or alarm user by telephone and/or other electronic means be made, in an attempt to avoid an unnecessary alarm dispatch request. 3. Requires alarm users to address false burglar alarm problems or face suspension from the alarm program after the fourth false burglar alarm within a one-year period. During suspension, the alarm user has 30 days to correct the problem before being restored to the alarm program. 4. If a user has eight false burglar alarms in a one-year period, their account will be suspended and placed on "verified response" for twelve months. The police department will only respond to a "verified response" burglar alarm based on information from a person physically present at the location or from real-time video or audio surveillance positively verifying a crime or attempted crime has occurred at the location. These amendments and update of the current municipal code holds alarm users and companies responsible for the proper installation of alarm systems, and alarm users accountable for its proper operation. Additionally, it will reduce false alarms and allow police officers to be deployed more efficiently to other emergency and non-emergency events and provide increased service to the citizens of Azusa. FISCAL IMPACT None. Attachments: Ordinance No. 13-04 Prepared by: John Momot, Captain ORDINANCE NO. 13-04 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA, AMENDING AND RESTATING ARTICLE HI OF CHAPTER 18 OF THE AZUSA MUNICIPAL CODE TO ESTABLISH A MODERN REGULATORY SCHEME FOR ADMINISTERING AND MANAGING THE CITY'S RESPONSE TO ALARMS, FEES, FINES, APPEAL PROCESS, AND PROVIDING OTHER MATTERS PROPERLY RELATING THERETO. WHEREAS, the City of Azusa ("City"), pursuant to the police powers delegated to it by the California Constitution, has the authority to enact laws which promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of its citizens; and WHEREAS, the Azusa Police Department regularly responds to burglary and robbery alarms throughout the City and in that process responds to a large number of false alarms; and WHEREAS, the Azusa Police Department's statistics show that between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2012, the Department responded to 1,962 false alarm calls; and WHEREAS, the current scheme established to address the problem of false alarms has not sufficiently reduced the number of false alarms and consequently this Ordinance is being enacted to tighten the regulations; and WHEREAS, California law does not preempt local cities from using their police power to establish a regulatory scheme that governs false alarm activations and responses and require persons who operate alarm systems to obtain a permit to operate the alarm system.
