Unless another penalty is expressly provided by this Code for
any particular provision, section or chapter, any person violating
any provision of this Code, or any rule or regulation adopted or issued
in pursuance thereof, or any provision of any code adopted herein
by reference, shall, upon conviction, be subject to a forfeiture of
not less than $10 or more than $2,000, and the costs of prosecution,
for each violation and, in default of payment of such forfeiture and
costs, shall be imprisoned in the County Jail until such forfeiture
and costs of prosecution are paid, such imprisonment not to exceed
90 days.
Each act of violation and every day upon which a violation occurs
or exists constitutes a separate offense.
In case of any amendment of or addition to any section or chapter
of this Code, the penalty provided for the violation of such section
or chapter shall also relate to the amendment or addition, whether

is specifically repealed or amended therein.
Reference to any section of this Code shall be understood also
to refer to and include the penalty section relating thereto, unless
otherwise expressly provided.
The failure of any officer or employee of the County to perform
any official duty imposed by this Code shall not subject such officer
or employee to the penalty imposed for violation of this Code, unless
a penalty is specifically provided.
