[R.O. 2006 §100.130; CC 1980 §100.050]
A. 
Whenever in this Code or in any ordinance or resolution of the City any act is prohibited or is made or declared to be unlawful or an offense, or whenever in such Code, ordinance or resolution the doing of any act is required or the failure to do any act is declared to be unlawful, where no specific penalty is provided therefor and where no penalty for such offense is fixed by Statute, the violation of any such provision of this Code or any ordinance or resolution shall constitute a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine of not less than one dollar ($1.00) and not more than five hundred dollars ($500.00) or by imprisonment not exceeding ninety (90) days or both, recoverable with costs of suit. Each day any violation of any provision of this Code or of any such ordinance or resolution shall continue shall constitute a separate offense.
B. 
In addition to the penalty hereinabove provided, any condition caused or permitted to exist in violation of any of the provisions of this Code or any such ordinance or resolution shall be deemed a misdemeanor and may be, by the City, abated as provided by law, and each day that such condition continues shall be regarded as a new and separate offense.
C. 
Any Section in the Code which authorizes the imposition of a lesser penalty shall not be amended by this Section but shall be and remain the same.
D. 
In any case where any ordinance or section of this Code shall not provide a greater penalty for a second or subsequent conviction for a violation thereof, any person violating the same who shall previously have been convicted of a violation hereof shall be subject to a fine of not less than ten dollars ($10.00) nor more than five hundred dollars ($500.00) for each offense and imprisonment not exceeding three (3) months or both such fine and imprisonment.
E. 
When imprisonment is ordered, it may be served in the County Jail as the Municipal Judge may direct. Whenever any punishment provided by this Code or other ordinance shall exceed that provided for the same offense by State law, the punishment Section of such ordinance or Code Section shall be void in so far as its punishment exceeds the State limits, and the maximum punishment provided by State law shall be imposed hereby.
