[Adopted 10-7-1963 as Ch. 1 of the 1963 Code]
All officers and employees of the City shall
enforce obedience to state statutes, provisions of this Code, ordinances
and resolutions and rules, regulations and orders issued thereunder
as may relate to their regular duties and any other statutes, Code
provisions, ordinances and resolutions and rules, regulations and
orders issued thereunder with whose enforcement they are properly
chargeable, by any measures provided therein, by the proper report
of any violation thereof and by instituting such proceedings as may
be necessary to such enforcement.
The violation of any rule, regulation or order
promulgated by any officer or agency of the City under authority vested
in him or it by law, ordinance or resolution or under the provisions
of this Code shall be unlawful.
Wherever in this Code, or in any ordinance or
resolution, or rule, regulation or order promulgated by any officer
or agency of the City under authority vested in him or it by law,
ordinance or resolution, any act is prohibited or is declared to be
unlawful or the doing of any act is required or the failure to do
any act is declared to be unlawful and no specific penalty is provided
for the violation thereof, the violator of any such provision of this
Code or any such ordinance, resolution, rule, regulation or order
shall be punished by a fine of not more than $100 or imprisonment
for not more than 30 days, or both, in the discretion of the trial
judge. Each day any violation of this Code or any such ordinance,
resolution, rule, regulation or order continues shall constitute a
separate offense.
All fines imposed for the violation of any ordinance,
resolution, order, rule or regulation, as provided in the preceding
section, shall inure to the use of the City, unless otherwise provided
by the Council or by the General Statutes.
No new ordinance or resolution shall be construed
to repeal a former ordinance or resolution as to any offense committed
against the former ordinance or resolution, or as to any act done
or penalty, forfeiture or punishment incurred or as to any right accrued
or claim arising under the former ordinance or resolution, or in any
way whatever to affect any such offense or act committed or done,
penalty, forfeiture or punishment incurred, right accrued or claim
arising before the new ordinance or resolution takes effect, save
only that the proceedings thereafter shall conform, so far as practicable,
to the ordinance or resolution in force at the time of such proceeding.
When an ordinance or resolution which has repealed
another shall itself be repealed, the previous ordinance or resolution
shall not be revived without express words to that effect.
