               An alarm user may appeal the assessment of a fine, suspension, or request reinstatement
               to the alarm administrator. An appeal fee of $25.00 will accompany the appeal by the
               alarm user. Appeal fees will be returned to alarm user if the appeal is upheld. The
               filing of an appeal with the alarm administrator stays the assessment of the fine
               or suspension until the alarm administrator makes a final decision. The alarm user
               shall file written appeal to the alarm administrator by setting forth the reasons
               for the appeal within ten days after the receipt of the fine.

               The alarm review board shall conduct a formal hearing and consider the evidence by
               any interested person(s). The board shall make its decision on the basis of preponderance
               of evidence presented at the hearing. The board must render a decision within 30 days
               after the request for an appeal hearing is filed. The board shall affirm or reverse
               the assessment of the fine. The decision of the board is final as to administrative

               is final.
