§ 106. Ordinances; penalties for breach thereof
- (a) A Town ordinance may provide: (1) for a fine in an amount not greater than $1,000.00; and (2) that each week a violation continues shall constitute a separate offense. A violation
of a Town ordinance shall be classified as a misdemeanor or a rule violation in the

enacted, and prosecuted accordingly. The Town may maintain an action to enjoin the
violation of any ordinance or rule, but the election of the Town to proceed with an
