CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (KFVS) - Starting July 1, alarm systems will a cost an extra $25 for Cape City residents. The city is getting some pushback for it.
The City of Cape Girardeau recently passed a new ordinance, to charge alarm system owners in city limits for a permit, in efforts to limit false illegitimate alarms, what was conformed to over 95% of calls
“We think it’s fair way that the people who have alarms will be the ones that will pay for this type of service,” Scott Meyer said.
