Whenever in this code or in any ordinance of the city any act is prohibited or is made or declared to be unlawful or an offense, or whenever in such code or ordinance the doing of any act is required or the failure to do any act is declared to be unlawful, the person so acting or failing to act shall be guilty of a class 3 misdemeanor, punishable pursuant to state law. Each day any violation of any provision of this code or of any ordinance shall continue shall constitute a separate offense. In all cases where the same offense is made punishable or is created by different clauses or sections of this code, the prosecuting officer may elect under which to proceed; but not more than one recovery shall be had against the same person for the same offense; provided, the revocation of a license or permit shall not be considered a recovery or penalty so as to bar any other penalty being enforced.
