(a) Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the Ordinance. The Board of Supervisors hereby declares that it would have passed this Ordinance and each and every section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase not declared invalid or unconstitutional without regard to whether any portion of this Ordinance would be subsequently declared invalid or unconstitutional.
(b) No Conflict With Federal Or State Law. Nothing in this Ordinance shall be interpreted or applied so as to create any requirement, power or duty in conflict with any Federal or State law. Any and all greenhouse gas reduction activities adopted and implemented under this Ordinance are intended to be complementary and nonduplicative of measures required or to be adopted by any State or Federal agency under State or Federal law. Nothing in this Ordinance shall relieve any person, entity, including any City Department or City Official of compliance with other applicable Federal, State, or local laws or regulations, including Federal or State air and water quality requirements, and other requirements for protecting public health or the environment.
(c) Undertaking For The General Welfare. In undertaking the implementation of this Ordinance, the City is assuming an undertaking only to promote the general welfare. It is not assuming, nor is it imposing on its officer and employees, an obligation for breach of which it is liable in money damages to any person who claims that such breach proximately caused injury.
