§ 1.01.110. Violations—Penalty.

Unless otherwise prescribed, any person violating any of the provisions or failing to comply with any of the mandatory requirements of the ordinances of the city shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. Any person convicted of a crime designated as a gross misdemeanor by the code or state statute shall be punished by a fine of not more than five thousand dollars, imprisonment not to exceed one year, or both. Any person convicted of a misdemeanor for which no punishment is otherwise prescribed by ordinance at the time of conviction and sentence, shall be punished by a fine of not more than five thousand dollars, or by imprisonment not to exceed ninety days, or by both such fine and imprisonment; provided, however, that an act that constitutes a crime under state law shall not carry a penalty that is different from the penalty prescribed for that crime by state statute except as limited by the maximum penalty authorized by law. Each such person shall be guilty of a separate offence for each and every day during any portion of which any violation of any provision of the ordinance of the city is committed, continue, or permitted by any such person, and he shall be punished accordingly. In lieu of or in addition to incarceration or fine, offenders may be ordered to serve time in day detention so long as the total time served is not greater than the maximum allowed by law.
