In late May of this year, the City of Galena enacted an ordinance that sets a general penalty for violation of any other city ordinance that did not previously include a penalty.
The bill sets the maximum penalty for any City of Galena ordinance violation at $500 or 90 days in jail, unless specified in another City ordinance or by state law.
Galena City Council held first, second and final readings of the bill on Tuesday, May 22, with Council member John Arrington acting as Mayor Pro Tem after Mayor John Coones had to leave the meeting early.
The measure passed with unanimous council support and became effective immediately upon approval by the mayor.
The full text of the ordinance, 2018-4 (Setting Forth A General Penalty Ordinance For All Ordinance Violations That Are Not Set) follows.
