Further, this warning shall state that the responsible party may be charged for the cost of providing such special security services. The warning shall be signed by or offered for signature to the responsible party. The warning shall be signed by the responsible party, or the words "refused to sign" entered on the warning if the responsible party refuses to sign, acknowledging receipt of the warning. A copy of the warning shall be left with the responsible party.
