§ 9-12. Separability clause.
If a court of competent jurisdiction should hold any section or part of this charter invalid, such holding shall not affect the remainder of this charter nor the context in which such section or part so held invalid may appear, except to the extent that another section or part may be inseparably connected in meaning and effect with that section or part.
If a court of competent jurisdiction holds a part of this charter invalid, or if a change in the state constitution or law renders a part of this charter invalid or inapplicable, the city council by ordinance may take such appropriate action as will enable the city government to function properly.
