535.10 SEVERABILITY.
   If any court shall determine that any word, clause, phrase, sentence, paragraph, or subsection of this chapter is unconstitutional as worded, the Court shall first attempt to construe or interpret such unconstitutional provision so as to enable the same to be constitutional as so narrowed or construed. If the Court cannot so limit or construe such word or provision narrowly so as to render the same constitutional, it shall strike or modify only the minimum number of words, phrases, clauses, sentences, or paragraphs as will be absolutely necessary to render the remainder constitutional. In no case shall a clause or phrase or word or other portion hereof render any other word, clause, phrase, sentence, paragraph or section unconstitutional, but instead shall be severed therefrom entirely, with the balance of this chapter in its entirety remaining in full force and effect. (Ord. 2004-08. Passed 2-9-04.)
