[CC 1984 §8-147; Rev. M.C. 1963 §32.21; Ord. No. 3140 §8-78]
A.
All license
fees provided for in this Chapter or any amendment thereto shall be
deemed delinquent if not paid on the date due and payable. In addition
to any other penalty prescribed in this Chapter or by ordinance, any
manufacturer delinquent in the payment of the license fee shall be
required to pay to the City an additional ten percent (10%) of the
amount due for the first (1st) month or part thereof of such delinquency
and one percent (1%) for each additional month or part thereof that
such delinquency continues.
B.
In addition
to any other penalty prescribed by this Chapter, any manufacturer
making a statement in his/her application for a license under this
Chapter showing the number of his/her employees in an amount less
than the true amount or making a false statement as to any other condition
or factor upon which the license fee is based, the effect of which
would be to reduce the amount of the license fee, shall pay to the
City the additional amount of the license fee found to be due plus
a penalty of twenty-five percent (25%) of the additional amount plus
one percent (1%) per month or fraction thereof on the additional amount
from the date when the original license fee became due and payable.
C.
In addition
to any other penalty imposed, any manufacturer who fails to comply
with or who violates any provision of this Chapter shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor. Upon conviction, he/she shall be subject
to a fine of not less than twenty-five dollars ($25.00) or more than
five hundred dollars ($500.00) or by imprisonment for not more than
thirty (30) days, or by both such fine and imprisonment for each offense
or violation. Each day such failure to comply or such violation continues
shall be deemed a separate offense.
