Whenever in this Code or any other ordinances or resolutions
of the municipality or any rule or regulation promulgated under the
provisions of this Code any act is prohibited or declared to be unlawful
or 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 therefor,
any person who shall be convicted of the violation of any such provision
of this Code or other ordinances or resolutions of the municipality
hereafter enacted or of such rules or regulations shall be punished
by a fine of not more than $500 or by imprisonment in jail not exceeding
90 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment. Every day any violation

In cases involving alleged violations of any provision of this
Code not amounting to a breach of the peace, the first process shall

the party charged fail to appear as required, a warrant for his or
her arrest shall be forthwith issued by the Municipal Judge for the
offense specified in the citation or summons, commanding that the
party charged shall be arrested and be taken before the Court to be
tried for the alleged offense, or be allowed to post an appropriate
bond.
It shall be unlawful for any person to fail to appear at the
court hearing which is set on the ordinance violation citation, regardless
of the disposition of the charge for which the citation was originally
issued.
The foregoing provisions of this Code shall not be exclusive
of any other method prescribed by law for the prosecution of a person
for a violation of any ordinance of the Village of Bosque Farms or
for a violation of any other law within the power of the Village to
enforce.
