Sec. 1-6. General penalties; continuing violations; adjudging fines and imprisonments.
   (a)   It shall be unlawful for any person to violate or fail to comply with any provision of this Code or other ordinance of the city and where no specific penalty is provided therefor, the maximum penalty which may be imposed upon any person who shall be adjudged to have violated any provision of this Code or other ordinance of the city shall be a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars ($500.00) or a term of imprisonment not in excess of sixty (60) days, or by both such fine and imprisonment; provided, however, that, this Section shall not conflict with any penalties imposed for any offense under the laws of the State of Florida, and no penalty for violation of this Code or any ordinance of the city shall exceed the maximum penalty provided for the violation of a comparable state law. Each day any violation of any provision of this Code or other ordinance of the city shall continue, shall constitute a separate offense.
   (b)   Whenever the judgment of a court of appropriate jurisdiction shall, under any of the ordinances of the city, adjudge a person to pay a fine, or a fine and costs of prosecution, such judgment shall also provide a period of time for which such person shall be imprisoned in default of the payment of the same.
   (c)   Whenever the sentence shall be one of both fine and imprisonment, it shall also provide for an additional period of imprisonment, for which such person shall be held in default of payment of the fine and/or costs of prosecution imposed. Such additional period shall commence to run from the expiration of the other period of imprisonment fixed by the sentence, provided that in no case shall the imprisonment for failure to pay a fine, or fine and costs, together with any other imprisonment in the same case, exceed the period of six (6) months. Nothing in this Section shall exempt a prisoner from being put to labor during the period of such additional imprisonment.
