[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
The Township Council may prescribe that for the violation of
any particular provision of the Code or of any particular ordinance
at least a minimum penalty shall be imposed which shall consist of
a fine which may be fixed at an amount not exceeding $100. The Court
before which any person is convicted of violating any ordinance or
Code provision shall have power to impose any fine, term of punishment,
or period of community service not less than the minimum and not exceeding
the maximum fixed in the Code or such ordinance.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
Any person who is convicted of violating this Code or an ordinance
within one year of the date of a previous violation of the same provision
of this Code or of the same ordinance and who was fined for the previous
violation shall be sentenced by a Court to an additional fine as a
repeat offender. The additional fine imposed by the Court upon a person
for a repeated offense shall not be less than the minimum or exceed
the maximum fine fixed for a violation of the ordinance or Code provision,
but shall be calculated separately from the fine imposed for the violation
of the ordinance or Code provision.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
Any person convicted of the violation of any provision of this
Code or any ordinance may, in the discretion of the Court by which
he was convicted, and in default of the payment of any fine imposed
therefor, be imprisoned in the County jail or place of detention provided
by the Township for any term not exceeding 90 days, or be required
to perform community service for a period not exceeding 90 days.
Except as otherwise provided, each and every day in which a
violation of any provision of this Code or any other ordinance of
the Township exists shall constitute a separate violation.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
The maximum penalty stated in this section is not intended to
state an appropriate penalty for each and every violation. At the
discretion of the Judge of the Municipal Court, any lesser penalty,
including a nominal penalty or no penalty at all, may be appropriate
for a particular case or violation.
