1970 Code of Ordinances]
A.
Whenever in this Code or in any ordinance or resolution
of the village any act is prohibited or is made or declared to be unlawful
or an offense or whenever in such Code, ordinance or resolution the doing
of any act is required or the failure to do any act is declared to be unlawful,
where no specific penalty is provided therefor, the violation of any such
provision of this Code or any ordinance or resolution shall constitute disorderly
conduct and shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $250 and, in the event
of failure to pay the same, by imprisonment not exceeding 15 days, or both
such fine and imprisonment. Each day any violation of any provision of this
Code or of any such ordinance or resolution shall continue shall constitute
a separate offense.

In addition to the penalty hereinabove provided, any
condition caused or permitted to exist in violation of any of the provisions

nuisance and may be, by the village, abated as provided by law, and each day
that such condition continues shall be regarded as a new and separate offense.
In all cases where the same offense may be made punishable, or shall
be created by different clauses or sections of the ordinances of the village,
the prosecuting officer may elect under which to proceed; but not more than
one recovery shall be had against the same person for the same offense.
