(a) Nothing contained in this article shall be construed to repeal any law, executive order, rule, or regulation adopted by the county or any of its departments or agencies that is not inconsistent with the provisions of this article.
(b) Any executive order, rule, or regulation of the county or any of its departments or agencies that regulates any subject that is bargainable under this article shall not be held to be repealed or modified by a provision of a collective bargaining agreement negotiated under this article except to the extent that the application of the order, rule, or regulation is inconsistent with the provision in the collective bargaining agreement. However, if the inconsistent order, rule, or regulation is subject to and has received council approval, the collective bargaining agreement shall not govern unless the order, rule, or regulation was identified to the council by the parties prior to the council’s ratification of the collective bargaining agreement, as required by section 33-108(g); or unless the order, rule, or regulation is repealed or modified by the council. (1986 L.M.C., ch. 70, § 2.)
