Any owner or occupant who fails, refuses, or neglects to trim trees and shrubbery as provided in subsection A of this section, after receiving five (5) days' notice from the city manager, community development director or city engineer to do so, shall be guilty of an offense against the city. Every day on which the owner or occupant fails, refuses, or neglects to trim such trees or shrubbery after the expiration of the five (5) days' notice shall be a separate offense.
