Any person violating any of the provisions or failing to comply
with any of the mandatory requirements of the ordinances of the City,
is guilty of a misdemeanor unless by ordinance the violation is made
on infraction. Any person convicted of a misdemeanor under the ordinances
of the City shall be punished by a fine of not more than $1,000, imprisonment
not to exceed six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment. Each
such person is guilty of a separate offense for each and every day
during any portion of which any violation of the ordinances of the
City is committed, continued, or permitted to exist.
(Ord. 60 § 1, 1971; Ord. 446 § 2, 1999)

is authorized to seek the recovery of any money expended by the City

any individual, corporation, association, or entity, such expenditures
shall constitute a debt owing by the individual, corporation, association
or entity to the City.
