A.
Any
person who violates any ordinance of the City is guilty of an ordinance
violation and shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars ($500.00)
or imprisoned in the City Jail for a period not exceeding ninety (90)
days, or both; provided however, that in any case wherein the penalty
for an offense is fixed by any State law or Statute the same penalty
so fixed by State law or Statute shall be imposed for the punishment
of such offense, and no other, except that imprisonments, when made
under this Section, may be in the City Jail instead of the County
Jail.
B.
Each
day any violation of any provision of this Code or of any such ordinance
shall continue shall constitute a separate offense.
C.
In
addition to the penalty provided in this Section, any condition caused
or permitted to exist in violation of any of the provisions of this
Code or any ordinance shall be deemed a public nuisance and may be
abated by the City as provided by law, and each day that such condition
continues shall be regarded as a new and separate offense.
[R.O. 2012 §100.160; CC 1992 §1-13]
In case of the amendment by the Board of Aldermen of any Section of this Code for which a penalty is not provided, the general penalty as provided in Section 100.150 shall apply to the Section as amended; or, in case such amendment contains provisions for which a penalty, other than the general penalty set out in Section 100.150, is provided in another Section in the same Chapter, the penalty so provided in such other Section shall be held to relate to the Section so amended, unless such penalty is specifically repealed therein.
