The penalty provided by this section, unless another penalty is expressly provided, shall apply to the amendment of any section of this Ordinance, whether or not such penalty is reenacted in the amendatory ordinance.

The penalty shall be in addition to the abatement of the violating condition, any injunctive relief, and/or a revocation of any permit or license.

This section shall not apply to the failure of village officers and employees to perform municipal duties required by this Ordinance.
