<blockquote><p>Sec. 70-5. Selling food from open-air stands prohibited. The sale, keeping,  storage or the offering for sale of any food from open-air stands in the city is  prohibited. Such sale, keeping, storage, or the offering for sale of any food  from open-air stands in the city shall be made only within the confines of an  enclosed building except in those areas as designated and approved by the city  manager. (Code 1964, Â§ 25-67.1) Sec. 70-6. Penalty. (a) Unless otherwise  provided herein, every person convicted of a violation of this chapter shall be  punished by a fine not to exceed $500.00 or imprisonment in the county jail for  not more than 30 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment; for a second  conviction of a violation of this chapter such person shall be punished by a  fine not to exceed $1,000.00 or imprisonment in the county jail not more than 12  months, or by both such fine and imprisonment. (b) The provisions of section  70-3 shall be enforced by enforcement procedures before a special master,  appointed as set forth in chapter 30 of this Code, and penalties for violations  of those sections shall be as set forth therein. (c) Except as provided in  subsection (b) of this section, enforcement of sections of this chapter  providing for civil penalties shall be in accordance with the following  procedures: (1) If a code compliance officer finds a violation of this chapter,  the compliance officer shall issue a notice of violation to the violator as  provided in chapter 30. The notice shall inform the violator of the nature of  the violation, amount of fine for which the violator may be liable, instructions  and due date for paying the fine, notice that the violation may be appealed by  requesting an administrative hearing within 20 days after service of the notice  of violation, and that failure to do so shall constitute an admission of the  violation and waiver of the right to a hearing. (2) A violator who has been  served with a notice of violation shall elect either to: a. Pay the civil fine  in the manner indicated on the notice; or b. Request an administrative hearing  before a special master appointed as provided in article II of chapter 30 to  appeal the decision of the code compliance officer which resulted in the  issuance of the notice of violation. (d) The procedures for appeal of the notice  of violation by administrative hearing shall be as set forth in sections 102-384  and 102-385. (Code 1964, Â§ 25-126; Ord. No. 93-2841, Â§ 1(25-126), 4-21-93; Ord.  No. 93-2893, Â§ 1, 12-15-93)</p></blockquote>
