In addition to the civil rights and remedies herein provided to the township, any person violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor or municipal civil infraction, as determined within the township's discretion. Any person who is convicted of a misdemeanor under this chapter shall be subject to punishment by an amount not exceeding $500 or be imprisoned for a period not exceeding 90 days or both so fined and imprisoned. Each day such violation is committed or permitted to continue shall constitute a separate offense and shall be punishable as such hereunder. If instead a municipal civil infraction is imposed, the penalty shall be a fine not to exceed $500. Upon notice of a violation, the appropriate township employee shall investigate any violation and then make a determination as to whether the penalty shall be imposed. The Township Supervisor or his/her designated agent is hereby authorized to write and serve municipal civil infraction tickets. This municipal civil infraction ticket shall serve as notice of the alleged violation. Proceedings for the municipal civil infraction shall proceed as provided in the Township Municipal Civil Infractions Ordinance. The imposition of a municipal civil infraction fine for any violation shall not excuse the violation or permit it to continue. Further violations subject the owner or occupant, or person or persons, agent, firm or corporation to subsequent municipal civil infraction violations.
