[Adopted 11-18-2008 by Ord. No. 2008-4]
A.
Generally.
Except where a penalty is provided elsewhere under the Town's ordinances,
any person who shall violate any of the provisions of the Town's ordinances
shall, upon conviction of such violation, be subject to a penalty,
which shall be as follows:
[Amended 2-18-2014 by Ord. No. 2014-1]
(1)
First offense. Any person who shall violate any provision of the
Town's ordinances shall, upon conviction thereof, forfeit not less
than $50 nor more than $500, together with the costs of prosecution
and, in default of payment of such forfeiture and costs of prosecution,
shall be imprisoned in the county jail until such forfeiture and costs
are paid, but not exceeding six months.
(2)
Second and subsequent offenses. Any person found guilty of violating
any Town ordinance or part of a Town ordinance who shall previously
have been convicted of a violation of the same ordinance within one
year shall, upon conviction thereof, forfeit not less than $100 nor
more than $1,000 for each such offense together with costs of prosecution
and, in default of payment of such forfeiture and costs, shall be
imprisoned in the county jail until such forfeiture and costs of prosecution
are paid, but not exceeding six months.
B.
Continued
violations. Each violation and each day a violation continues or occurs
shall constitute a separate offense. Nothing in this article shall
preclude the Town from maintaining any appropriate action to prevent
or remove a violation of any provision of the Town's ordinances.
C.
Other
remedies.
(1)
The Town shall have any and all other remedies afforded by the Wisconsin
Statutes in addition to the forfeitures and costs of prosecution above.
(2)
Execution against defendant's property. Whenever any person fails
to pay a forfeiture and costs of prosecution upon the order of any
court for violation of any Town ordinance, the court may, in lieu
of ordering imprisonment of the defendant or after the defendant has
been released from custody, issue an execution against the property
of the defendant for said forfeiture and costs.
This article is adopted pursuant to §§ 66.0109,
66.0113(3), Wis. Stats.
