§ 2.06.060. Severability—Exceptions.

A.

In the event that this article is deemed to be in conflict with a provision of any general or special law, the provision of that general or special law shall govern and shall not defeat the application of this article with respect to any position not governed by that law.

B.

In the event that the mayor, with the approval of the city council, determines it to be in the best interest of the public to do so, the provisions of this article may be waived with respect to a particular person or position, and such waiver shall not act to defeat the application of this article to every other person or position. In order to obtain a waiver, the mayor must provide the city council with a separate written request for such waiver, including with such request a reason or reasons why such waiver is in the best interests of the public. The city council may grant such waiver by majority vote of the city council. Any waiver from the requirements of this article shall be effective only upon affirmative vote by the city council. All such waivers shall remain on file with the city clerk.
