[Ord. No. 94-05 §§1 —
3, 2-1-1994]
A. Whenever
in this Code or in any other ordinance of the City, any act is prohibited
or is made or declared to be unlawful for an offense or a misdemeanor
or the doing of any act is required or the failure to do any act is
declared to be unlawful or an offense or a misdemeanor, where no specific
penalty is provided therefore, the violation of such provision of
this Code or other ordinance of the City shall be punished by a fine
not exceeding five hundred dollars ($500.00) and costs, or ninety
(90) days imprisonment, or by both the fine and imprisonment. Where
the City and State have a penalty for the same offense, the Board
shall set the same penalty by ordinance as is set by Statute, except
that imprisonments, when made under City ordinances, may be in the
City prison or workhouse instead of the County Jail.
B. Every
day any violation of this Code or any other ordinance of the City
shall continue shall constitute a separate offense.
C. 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 shall be deemed a public nuisance and may
be, by the City, abated as provided by law, and each day such condition
continues shall be regarded as a new and separate offense.
