Sec. 7-69(c)(1-5), Ordinance: Any vehicle used to transport children must have a child safety alarm device installed. The alarm device must be periodically tested and properly maintained in working order at all times. The alarm device must be designed to automatically activate when the vehicles ignition is turned on. Alarm devices that are activated manually are prohibited. The alarm device must be designed so that the vehicle horn, siren, or other type of audible alarm will sound within one minute if the driver, or a family child care home staff member, does not go to the rear or back seat of the vehicle, or, in the case of a passenger van, does not open the side entry door of the vehicle, to manually shut off the alarm prior to leaving the vehicle. The alarm must be audible from a distance of 500 feet from the vehicle. The alarm device must be installed so that the driver, or a family child care home staff member, is able to observe the rearmost seats of the vehicle and reach the switch that turns off the alarm prior to leaving the vehicle. The driver, or a family child care home staff member, must physically inspect each seat before turning off the alarm and leaving the vehicle. The alarm device must be installed by a certified technician or mechanic employed by an electronics or automotive business in accordance with the device manufacturers recommendations.
