Except as provided in Title 8, Chapter 1, any person convicted of a violation of any section of this code which does not otherwise provide for a specific penalty shall be punished by the imposition of a fine not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000.00), or by a sentence of confinement in the city or county jail not to exceed six (6) months, or both such fine and imprisonment. (Ord. 120, 2-10-1982, eff. 2-17-1982; amd. Ord. 255, 12-15-2022)
Except as provided in Title 8, Chapter 1, 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. Except as provided in Title 8, Chapter 1, 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 or declared to be unlawful, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. A separate offense or violation 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; amd. Ord. 255, 12-15-2022)
