(a) It is the intent of the Town Council that every public nuisance be restrained, prevented, abated, punished and perpetually enjoined. Nothing in this Chapter limits the application of any other Section of the laws of the Town.

(b) The remedies contained in this Chapter are not exclusive, but rather are cumulative with other remedies created under this Code, under the laws of the State and existing at common law and equity. Nothing in this Chapter restricts any person’s right to institute proceedings regarding any private nuisance.

(c) Whenever a nuisance exists, no remedy provided for herein shall be exclusive of any other charge or action, and when applicable the abatement provisions of this Chapter shall serve as and constitute a concurrent remedy over and above any charge or conviction of any municipal offense or any other provision of law. Any application of this Chapter that is in the nature of a civil action shall not prevent the commencement or application of any other charges brought under this Code or any other provision of law. (Prior code 8.04.020; Ord. 1288 §1, 2008)
