The schedule of fees shall be available at the office of the zoning official, and planning commission as appropriate and may be altered and amended only by the city council. (Ord. 230, 5-6-2002; amd.

Each day such violation continues or occurs, constitutes a separate offense and may be prosecuted as such.
The owner or tenant of any building, structure, premises, or part thereof, any architect, builder, contractor, agent, or other person who commits, participates in, assists in, or maintains such violation, may each be found guilty of a separate offense and suffer the penalties herein provided.
