This Charter may be amended by local law pursuant to provisions of the Municipal Home Rule Law.
The sections, subsections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses and phrases in this Charter are severable, and if any of the aforementioned shall be held unconstitutional or invalid, the decision of the court shall not affect or impair any of the remaining provisions of the same.
