§ 5.11. Rules of ordinance construction; severability.

Ordinances passed by the council are declared to be severable. If any portion of an ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstances shall be found to be invalid by a court, such invalidity shall not affect the remaining portions or applications of the ordinances which can be given effect without the invalid portion or application, provided that such remaining portions are not determined by the court to be inoperable.
