Section 607. Penalties (#2)
Any violation of this ordinance shall be a civil infraction subject to a fine in the amount of Two Hundred Fifty ($250.00) Dollars for the first offense; Five Hundred ($500.00) Dollars for the second offense occurring within a Twelve (12) month period of the second offense.
