SECTION 6. Severability. If for any reason any section, paragraph,
subdivision, clause, phrase, word, or provision of this ordinance shall be held
invalid or unconstitutional by final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
it shall not affect any other section, paragraph, subdivision, clause, phrase,
word, or provision of this ordinance, for it is the definite intent of this City
Council that every section, paragraph, subdivision, clause, phrase, word, or
provision hereof be given full force and effect for its purpose.
SECTION 7. Emergency. The critical and chronic condition of absorption
of the City Manager's time by the direct reporting of numerous City officers and
department heads to him, the absence of effective delegated control of functions
among the offices, departments and divisions of the City government and the
immediate availability of savings in time and money creates a public emergency
and an imperative public necessity requiring the suspension of the Charter rule
that no ordinance or resolution shall be passed finally on the date of its intro-
duction but that such ordinance or resolution shall be read at three several
meetings of the City Council, and the Mayor having declared such emergency and
necessity to exist, and having requested the suspension of the Charter rule and
that this ordinance be passed finally on the date of its introduction and take
effect and be in full force and effect from and after its passage, IT IS ACCORDINGLY
SO ORDAINED, this the / day of 1973.
