Each such person shall be guilty of a separate offense for each and every day during any portion of which any violation of any provision of this Code, or any provision of any ordinance or code adopted by reference by this Code, or any other Town ordinance is committed, continued or permitted by such person, and may be punished accordingly.

In addition, any such violation or failure to comply may be prosecuted originally as a misdemeanor in the discretion of the Town Attorney or any deputy district attorney, upon a showing by the enforcing agency of the seriousness of the particular alleged violation.
