[1975 Code]
Any person convicted of a violation of any section of this Code
shall be fined in a sum not to exceed $500 for any one offense, excepting
any specific section of this Code wherein the maximum fine is limited
to a lesser amount, and the person may be confined in the City or
county jail for a period of not more than six months.
[1975 Code]
When a person is convicted of a violation of any section of
this Code, any license previously issued to him by the City may be
revoked by a court of competent jurisdiction or by the City Council.
[1975 Code]
The penalty provided in this chapter shall be applicable to
every section of this Code the same as though it were a part of each
and every separate section. Any person convicted of a violation of
any section of this Code where any duty is prescribed or obligation
imposed, or where any action which is of a continuing nature is forbidden
or declared to be unlawful, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.
A separate offense shall be deemed committed upon each day such duty
or obligation remains unperformed or such act continues, unless otherwise
specifically provided in this Code.
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 elect under which to proceed; 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 not be considered
a recovery or penalty so as to bar any other penalty being enforced.
Whenever the doing of any act or the omission to do any act
constitutes a breach of any section or provision of this Code and
there shall be no fine or penalty specifically declared for such breach,
the provisions of this chapter shall apply and a separate offense
shall be deemed committed upon each day during or on which a breach
or violation occurs or continues.
[1975 Code]
No provision of this Code designating the duties of any officer
or employee shall be so construed as to make such officer or employee
liable for any fine or penalty provided for a failure to perform such
duty, unless the intention of the Council to impose such fine or penalty
on such officer or employee is specifically and clearly expressed
in the section creating the duty.
