member of any board of the city.
Section 2: Codification. The provisions of this ordinance shall become and be made

ordinance may be renumbered or re- lettered to accomplish such intention; and that the word
"ordinance" may be changed to "section" or other appropriate word.
Section 3. Severability. If any section, clause, sentence, or phrase of this ordinance is

shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance.
Section 4. Ordinances in Conflict. All ordinances or parts of ordinances and all

when only a portion of the ordinance in conflict needs to be repealed to harmonize the
ordinances. If the ordinance in conflict can be harmonized by amending its terms, it is hereby
amended to harmonize the two ordinances. Therefore, only that portion that needs to be repealed
to harmonize the two ordinances shall be repealed.
