(A) A person violating a provision of this chapter or an order issued under authority of this chapter shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a violation punishable by a fine set by the Union City Council by resolution or ordinance. Such a person shall also be subject to any civil remedies available to the city as set forth in this chapter or as otherwise provided for by law.
(B) Each day’s violation of a provision of this chapter or of an order issued under authority of this chapter constitutes a separate violation. The abatement of a nuisance is not a penalty for violating this chapter, but instead is an additional remedy. The imposition of a penalty does not relieve a person of the duty to abate the nuisance; however, abatement of a nuisance within ten days of the date of notice to abate, or if a protest or appeal has been filed pursuant to the terms of this chapter, abatement within ten days of the disposition of the protest or appeal if a nuisance is found to exist, will excuse the person responsible from the imposition of any fine.
(C) The statement of a penalty within this chapter is not preclusive, and shall not prevent the imposition of other penalties that may be applicable under any other ordinance, statute, regulation, or resolution.
