[Amended 8-10-2011]
Whenever in this Code, or in any ordinance, resolution or motion
of the County, any act or omission is prohibited or is made or declared
to be unlawful or an offense, or whenever in the Code or ordinance,
resolution or motion the doing of any act or the failure to do any
act is declared to be unlawful or an offense or is prohibited and
no specific penalty is provided therefor, and state law does not provide
otherwise, the violation of any such provision of this Code or any
ordinance, resolution or motion shall be an offense punishable by
a fine of up to $1,000. Unless specifically provided otherwise, or
the context thereof so dictates, each day any violation of any provision
of this Code or any ordinance, resolution or motion shall continue
shall constitute a separate offense.
No provision of this Code designating the duties of any County
officer or employee shall be construed so as to make such officer
or employee liable for any fine or penalty provided in this Code for
a failure to perform such duty, unless the intention of the County
Board to impose such a fine or penalty on such officer or employee
is specifically and clearly expressed in the section creating the
duty.
In all cases where the same offense is made punishable or is
created by different clauses or sections of this Code, the prosecuting
officer may proceed under both, but not more than one recovery shall
be had against the same person for the same offense, provided that
the revocation of a license or permit shall be considered a recovery
or penalty so as to bar any other penalty being enforced.
