The administration of violations under section 1-3-1 of this chapter and the general penalty provided in section 1-3-2 of this chapter are applicable to every section of this Code the same as though they were a part of each and every separate section. Any person convicted of a violation of any section of this Code when any duty is prescribed or obligation imposed, or when any action that is of a continuing nature is forbidden or is declared to be unlawful, will be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. A separate offense will be deemed committed on each day such duty or obligation remains unperformed or such act continues unless otherwise specifically provided in this Code.
The administration of violations under section 1-3-1 of this chapter and the general penalty provided in section 1-3-2 of this chapter apply to the amendment of any section of this Code and to any code adopted herein by reference, regardless of whether that penalty is reenacted in the amendatory ordinance.
A reference to a section of this Code is deemed also to refer to and include the administration of Code violations and the penalty section relating thereto, unless otherwise expressly provided.
In all cases when 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 may be had against the same person for the same offense. For purposes of this regulation, the revocation of a license or permit will 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 no fine or penalty is specifically declared for that breach, the provisions of this chapter will apply.
Every person concerned in the commission of an act prohibited by this code, whether one directly commits the act, or prosecutes, counsels, aids or abets in its commission, may be prosecuted and on conviction is punishable as if he had directly committed such act. (Ord. 2010-02-697, 2-1-2010)
