(B) If a conflict exists between the maps and the descriptions set forth in § 30.03 (the "descriptions"), in accordance with I.C. 3-5-10-9, the descriptions shall determine the boundaries of the Council district.
(C) If any territory in the city is not included in one of the Council districts, in accordance with I.C. 3-5-10-10, the excluded territory shall be included in the Council district that: (i) is contiguous to that territory; and (ii) contains the least population of all Council districts contiguous to that territory.
(D) If any territory in the city is included in more than one of the Council districts, in accordance with I.C. 3-5-10-11, the territory shall be included in the Council district that: (i) is one of the districts in which the territory is described in this chapter; (ii) is contiguous to that territory; and (iii) contains the least population of all Council districts contiguous to that territory.
(E) In accordance with I.C. 36-4-6-5(p) this chapter must be construed, if possible, to comply with the provisions of I.C 36-4-5-6. The provisions of this chapter are severable and if any provision is found to be invalid, the invalidity shall not affect the other provisions of this chapter that can be given effect without the invalid provision.
