This chapter shall be deemed to provide a complete, additional, and alternative method for doing the things authorized thereby and shall be regarded as supplemental and additional to the powers conferred by other laws. The issuance of bonds under the provisions of this chapter need not comply with the requirements of any other law applicable to the issuance of bonds.

The Council hereby declares that it would have adopted and passed this chapter, and each article, section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or word of this chapter, irrespective of the fact that any one or more of the other articles, sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or words of this chapter be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
