Comments: Re-writing current ordinance - The City of Auburn has an active alarm reduction process in place and only needs to update its ordinance to include restricted response, etc., to be more effective. The city will accept cancellations. Auburn experienced a 19% reduction in false alarms during 1998. During 1998, a monthly false alarm report was provided to 50 alarm companies, with 69% responding with information as to corrective action taken.
