(A) Whoever violates any provision of this code or other ordinance of the village for which another penalty is not specifically provided, shall be fined not more than $750 for each and every violation thereof; every day the violation continues shall constitute a separate offense.
(B) When a person is convicted of a violation of any section of the village code, any license previously issued to him or her by the village may be revoked as provided by ordinance.
(Prior Code, § 1-4-2)
(C) The penalty provided herein shall be applicable to every section of the village code, the same as though it were a part of each and every separate section. A separate offense shall be deemed committed upon each day the duty or obligation remains unperformed or the act continues, unless otherwise specifically provided in the village code. In all cases where the same offense is made punishable or is created by different clauses or sections of the village 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; and providing, further, that, this section shall, in no way, bar multiple prosecutions for violations of more than one section of this code. Whenever the doing of any act or the omission to do any act constitutes a breach of any section or provision of the village code and there shall be no fine or penalty specifically declared for the breach, the provisions of this section shall apply, and a separate offense shall be deemed committed upon each day during or on which a breach or violation occurs or continues.
(Prior Code, § 1-4-3)
(D) No provision of the village code designating the duties of any officer or employee shall be so construed as to make the officer or employee liable for any fine or penalty provided for a failure to perform the duty, unless the intention of the Mayor and Board of Trustees to impose the fine or penalty on the officer or employee is specifically and clearly expressed in the section creating the duty.
(Prior Code, § 1-4-4)
(E) (1) Issuance of citation. Whenever a police officer is authorized to arrest a person without a warrant because of a violation of an ordinance in respect of any of the following subjects, the police officer may file a complaint in the Circuit Court of Cook County or proceed in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 11, Administrative Adjudication:
(a) Parking violations;
(b) Requiring the purchase and display of a vehicle sticker;
(c) Regulating and licensing dogs; or
(d) Regulating and licensing businesses.
(2) Vehicle ownership; prima facie proof. The fact that an automobile or motor vehicle which is illegally operated or parked is registered with the Secretary of State in the name of the alleged violator, or in the alternative, in the event that a vehicle sticker issued by a municipality has been issued in the name of and to the alleged violator, shall be considered prima facie proof that the alleged violator was in the control of or was the operator of the automobile or motor vehicle at the time of the alleged violation.
