§ 8.08.100. Violations; penalties.

(A)

Any violation of this chapter shall be deemed an offense and shall be punishable by a fine or conviction by imprisonment for not less than two days or more than 30 days, or by both fine and imprisonment, at the discretion of the court. A schedule of fees, fines and penalties is kept on file in the offices of the City for review. The person violating the provision upon conviction shall pay the cost of the proceedings, including but not limited to attorney fees, judge fees and staff expenses. The abatement of a nuisance shall not constitute a penalty for violating this chapter, but shall be an additional remedy. The imposition of a penalty does not relieve a person of the duty to abate a nuisance.

(B)

Violation; separate offense. Each day's violation of a provision of this chapter constitutes a separate offense.

(C)

Any person who shall attempt to commit any of the offenses mentioned in this chapter, but who, for any reason is prevented from consummating such act, shall be deemed guilty of an offense.

(D)

All motor vehicle laws of the state relating to the operation or parking of motor vehicles at or near fire hydrants and granting emergency motor vehicles a right-of-way are incorporated as a part of this chapter and a violation of such laws is considered a violation of this chapter.
