The commission shall have authority to provide in any ordinance for the punishment of those who violate the same, by a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars or imprisonment for a period not exceeding ninety days, or both, in the discretion of the court. Such ordinance may further provide that in case any person shall fail to pay any fine so imposed, he may be imprisoned until such fine shall be paid, provided that no person shall be imprisoned for a single violation of any ordinance for a longer period than ninety days.

Notwithstanding the limitations of this section, MCL § 117.3(k) permits the City to adopt an ordinance the violation of which may be punishable by imprisonment for not more than 93 days or a fine of not more than $500.00, or both, if the violation substantially corresponds to a violation of state law that is a misdemeanor for which the maximum period of imprisonment is 93 days.
