Sec. 15-5. Same—Rules and regulations; penalty for violation.[145]
The joint health board shall have power to adopt and enforce
such reasonable rules and regulations as they may deem
necessary for health and sanitation, not in conflict with this
chapter and state law, but such rules and regulations shall
be subject to the approval of the city council and spread upon
the ordinance book and shall be published in a newspaper
published in the city. In case of epidemics, rules and regulations
for suppressing the same shall immediately become
effective.
It shall be unlawful for any person to violate any such
rules and regulations. Upon conviction of the person so
offending, he shall be punished by a fine of not less than ten
dollars nor more than fifty dollars for the first offense, and not
less than twenty-five dollars nor more than one hundred dollars
for each subsequent offense. (Code 1959, § 15-5.)
