Whenever any such violation shall constitute a municipal civil infraction, a finding of responsibility shall be punished by a civil fine not exceeding $500.00, except whenever a specific penalty is otherwise provided.

Each act of violation and each day upon which any such violation shall occur shall constitute a separate offense. The penalty provided by this section, unless another penalty is expressly provided, shall apply to the amendment of any Code section, whether or not such penalty is reenacted in the amendatory ordinance. In addition to the penalty prescribed above, the Township may pursue other remedies such as abatement of nuisances, injunctive relief and revocation of licenses or permits.

Section 5 of Ordinance. Code Additions or Amendments.

Additions or amendments to the Code when passed in such form as to indicate the intention of the Township Board to make the same a part of the Code shall be deemed to be incorporated in the Code, so that reference to the Code includes the additions and amendments.
