§ 7.09 ILLEGAL CONTRACTS VOIDABLE.
   Whenever any contract is found to be illegal, for the reasons stated in §§ 7.07 or 7.08 and the Municipality has received the goods or property involved, the Council may, by resolution, elect to rescind the contract, and return the goods or property or retain them, paying for them not at the contract price, but at their fair value, provided such value is not in excess of the contract price. If payment has already been made, the Municipality shall be entitled to recover the excess, if any, over the fair value.
