Calls for service are used to calculate the calls for service ratio. Calls include, but are not limited to serious emergency calls for service, (police, fire, and medical) that result in a city employee being dispatched or directed to the hotel. This shall include any calls within the surrounding neighborhood that, through information or investigation, can be attributed or traced to the hotel premises, and any self -initiated activity and/or investigation based on the observation(s) of an emergency services representative. Calls for service shall be measured per event or occurrence at a hotel. Multiple calls for one (1) discrete event shall count as one (1) call for service. Calls for service include, but are not limited to: (1) Any and all high priority emergency service calls; (2) Commission of crimes that are drug related or drug related arrests; (3) Commission of crimes that are prostitution related or prostitution related arrests; (4) Commission of calls that are a breach of the peace; (5) All fire alarms at a hotel; (6) Immediate public safety and health issues at a hotel. (7) Property related crimes (As defined in V.T.C.A., Penal Code Title 7.) (b) Call for service room ratio. The ratio is calculated by taking the number of calls for service divided by the total number of guestrooms in a hotel over one (1) year. Hotels with an annual ratio of greater than 0.70 calls per unit will be subject to reduced tier rating and possible license revocation. (c) New hotel tier rating. A hotel which has not previously operated in Grand Prairie shall be presumed to be a Tier 1 hotel for the first year of its operation. (d) Summary grading score. The summary grading score (SGS) is utilized to assess the number and types of serious outstanding violations, code convictions, and calls for service observed on a property annually. Each property will receive a tier rating based on the SGS which has a maximum of one hundred (100) points. Tier 1 scores indicate that a property has obtained a score between ninety (90) and one hundred (100). Scores between seventy-five (75) and eighty-nine (89) are identified as Tier 2 properties as described in this chapter. Scores of seventy-four (74) or below will be identified
