Notes
| 1 | † EDITOR’S NOTE: For civil penalty for violations of this Code of Ordinances, see Chapter 4A. |
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 the revocation of a license or permit shall not be considered a recovery.
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 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.
